Your Windows Server 2003 Directory Service event log contains entries similar to:

Event Type:ErrorEvent Source:NTDS ReplicationEvent Category:Internal ProcessingEvent ID:1481Description:    Internal error: The operation on the object failed.Additional DataError value: 5 000020D9: SvcErr: string varies, problem 5001 (BUSY), dataEvent Type:ErrorEvent Source:NTDS ReplicationEvent Category:ReplicationEvent ID:1084Description:Internal event: Active Directory could not update the following object with changes received                from the following source domain controller. This is because an error occurred                during the application of the changes to Active Directory on the domain controller.Object:object DNObject GUID: ef688125-9639-4238-88db-68b663844609Source domain controller: guid-based DC name                          Synchronization of the local domain controller with the source domain controller is blocked                          until this update problem is corrected.This operation will be tried again at the next scheduled replication.User ActionRestart the local domain controller if this condition appears to be related to low system resources (for example, low physical or virtual memory).Additional DataError value: 8409 A database error has occurred.

This behavior occurs when an Active Directory object that is currently being used is deleted from the Active Directory directory service.

NOTE: The replication engine will attempt to move the object to the Deleted Objects container later.
