Public folder replication does not occur, and event ID 3020 is logged on a computer that is running Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003

Public folder replication does not occur on a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. Outgoing replication events that are similar to the following are logged in the application event log:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: MSExchangeIS Public Store
Event Category: Replication Outgoing Messages
Event ID: 3020
Computer: servername
Description: An outgoing replication message was issued.

Type: 0x4
Message ID: 1-931017
Folder: (1-1934F1) IPM_SUBTREE\Foldername

Database "First Storage Group\Public Information Store (servername)". CN min: 1-19CDFA, CN max: 1-19CDFA
Message IDs: 1
1: 1-19CBEE, 1-19CDFA
--- : Post on servername : 8/26/2003 9:04:47 PM

Other outgoing replication events that may be recorded include the following event IDs:

• 3014
• 3016
• 3017
• 3018
• 3019
• 3021

If you review the message tracking logs on the server where the event that is described is logged, you may find no record that this message was sent. Additionally, other computers in the same Exchange organization do not log an incoming replication message event that corresponds to this message.

If you restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service on the computer, replication messages may be sent for a brief period of time.

This problem may occur on Exchange computers that have virus scanning enabled when the scanner is using the Background Scanning mode or the Proactive Scanning mode.
