XFOR: The IMC Does Not Dial on Weekends

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The Internet Mail Connector (IMC) that is provided in Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0 can be configured to use Remote Access Service (RAS) to dial out and deliver mail. You can configure it to dial on a daily or weekly basis. However, if you use the weekly option and also specify a weekend schedule, the IMC will not dial on the weekends.

CAUSE

The Administrator program saved incorrect values for the weekend options. It has now been resolved.

WORKAROUND

If you want the IMC to dial on the weekends, you can only configure it to use a daily or weekly schedule without a separate weekend schedule. To configure a daily or weekly schedule:

• On the Dial-up Connections tab of the IMC, configure a daily or weekly schedule.

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. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
