Problems in the Address Book Maintenance Utility.
The Address book Maintenance feature checks for discrepancies in the distribution data set between the server and the remotes. Essentially, when this utility is run, a snapshot of the DRB file/table is taken, then the DRB file table is rebuilt, and if discrepancies exist, the missing data is sent out to the remotes.
I have run this tool several times with terrible results. After my users processed the maintenance packet there address book entrees just disappeared. One user went from 9674 records to 86 records. Another user went from 3586 records to just 2.
Has anyone else experience these problems. I was told from an insider that reports of this problem have been sent to Multiactive but they are not able to duplicate the problem so no fix is available.
I hope no one else gets burned……
