 Last reviewed: January 6, 1998
Article ID: Q163608
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If you upgrade Windows NT Server from version 3.51 to version 4.0, you will no longer be able to send Microsoft Mail messages from a SQL Server.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, reconfigure the messaging environment with a computer running Microsoft Exchange Server.

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 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.

MORE INFORMATION

You can set up SQL Server to send mail messages with Microsoft Mail 3.x. In Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0, you can only send a mail message through Microsoft Exchange Server in a SQL Server environment. If Windows NT Server 3.51 is upgraded to Windows NT Server 4.0 with a Microsoft Mail messaging environment for SQL Server, new MAPI DLLs are overwritten as the Microsoft Mail client is upgraded to the Windows NT Server Windows Messaging System (WMS).
