XCLN: Switching Views on a Replicated Public Folder Fails

• Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 4.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to change views on a Microsoft Exchange Public Folder (PF) that is a replica from another Microsoft Exchange Server and it contains a form that uses named properties, the following error message might appear:

The view could not be applied. Client operation failed. Microsoft Exchange Information Store 1281 [8004005:000004FA]"

CAUSE

Some restrictions that have named properties fail to be loaded when the restriction is replicated to another Microsoft Exchange Server. The failure is due to the comment node in the restriction being lost that contains the mapping of the named properties to the ids.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange clients, version 4.0, listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 4.
