SYMPTOMS

When you use the Active Directory Replication Monitor tool (Replmon.exe) that is included with the Microsoft Windows 2000 Support Tools, the tool may not display a complete list of the Active Directory directory service replication partners for a particular server. This problem may occur when you use several features of the Replmon.exe tool. For example, this problem may occur when you expand the replication partners of a domain controller for a particular naming context. If you have debug logging turned on, the following warning message is logged in the IADsTools log (Iadstools.log):
Warning Application c:\temp\iadstools.log: Thread ID: 2488 ,Logged: date and time IADsTools Event: GetDirectPartnersEx: The API returned more partners than IADsTools is designed for.

Information Application c:\temp\iadstools.log: Thread ID: 2488 ,Logged: date and time IADsTools Event: GetDirectPartnersEx: The function completed successfully, returning (0) entries for directory partition (DC=corp,DC=domain name,DC=com).
Note To turn on logging in the Active Directory Replication Monitor tool, click View, click Options, click to select the Enable Debug Logging option, and then click Event Log. Or, click Log File Path if you want to maintain a separate log file.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you use the Active Directory Replication Monitor tool with a domain controller that has more than 200 replication partners configured.
