Temporary Files Are Left after Search of Exchange Public Folders

• Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Site Server Search and search one or more Exchange public folders, temporary files are created to hold copies of attachments in the messages in the public folders. These files are created in the system temporary directory (defined either by a system TEMP environment variable, or %winnt%\system32). These files are not deleted, and disc space is lost.

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Site Server service pack that contains this fix.
