XCLN: WinNT Client Can Leave 0 Byte File on W95 or W16 Share

ID: Q148197

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SUMMARY

When you are using a Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client and you cancel the addition of a Personal Folder located on a Windows 95 or Windows 3.x share, a 0 byte file will be left on the share.

STATUS

Windows NT 3.51 has a bug in which the GetOpenFileName() call will leave a 0 byte file if the file does not exist and was supposed to be located on a Windows 95 or Windows 3.x share. When the process of creating a PST is completed, normally Microsoft Exchange will delete the 0 byte file and create the correct PST file. Canceling this process before completion leaves the 0 byte file intact. This problem will not occur in a Microsoft Exchange Service Pack 2 Windows NT client running on Windows NT version 4.0.
