XADM: Options in Admin or User Manager May Be Overwritten

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

General settings changed in Exchange on the Options menu in User Manager for Domains may be overwritten by the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program. Auto-naming rules and permissions settings changed in the Administrator program in the Options dialog box under Tools may be overwritten by User Manager.

CAUSE

Both Administrator and User Manager save settings on exiting regardless of whether changes are made or not. This allows cached information in one of the applications to overwrite changes that may have been made by the other.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
