Paged searches against Address Book in OWA lite not retaining DC session information during PageNext Operations

  • Article

A while back I checked in a bug for fix that was affecting OWA lite clients. Basically the problem was that OWA lite clients could not search the Address book and return more than 1 page of results. When a user clicked the PageNext button it would cause an exception because the Session DC information was not retained between PageNext operations.

NOTE: This does not occur in the premium version of the OWA client

Once the exception is thrown you will see the following error in OWA:

Exception
Exception type:
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.ADPossibleOperationException
Exception message: Active Directory operation failed on daisy.butler.edu. This error could have been caused by user input or by the Active Directory server being unavailable. Please retry at a later time. Additional information: Active Directory rejected paged search cookie because a cookie handle was discarded by a Domain Controller or a different LDAP connection was used on subsequent page retrieval. Paged search needs to be restarted and will succeed.

Additional information:
The parameter is incorrect. Active directory response: 00000057:
LdapErr: DSID-0C09068F, comment: Error processing control, data 0, vece.

How to fix
You will need to upgrade to Exchange 2007 Rollup 1: https://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=945684
