MORE INFORMATION

These error messages are displayed when the directory version of the proxy generators does not match the actual dynamic link library (DLL) file version.

To verify that the appropriate proxy DLL is used:

  1. Verify the build version that you use. To do this, look at the properties on:


    2. organization\site\Configuration\Server \server name
  2. Verify the file version for the proxy DLL. To do this, look at the properties on:
    organization\site\Configuration\Addressing\"E- mail address generators"\proxy address generator object
    The information there must match the information in the table at the end of this article. If this information doesn't match, either obtain the correct file from the source compact disc, or modify the directory version to match the file versions.


You can use the following information when you restore different versions of the Inproxy.dll, Pcproxy.dll, and X400prox.dll files.

You must verify that the actual file versions on the hard disk drive are the ones that were supplied with the respective build number. For example, if you have Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0 Service Pack 2 installed, the proxy DLL files supplied with Service Pack 2 must be in place. You can obtain these files from the original compact discs; copy them to the computer running Microsoft Exchange Server. The default location on the hard disk drive is:
drive:\Exchsrvr\Address\address type\processor type\proxy generator file.dll
To change the current version, you must run the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program in raw mode as follows:

WARNING: Using the raw mode of the Exchange Server Administrator program (admin /r) incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows NT Server and/or Microsoft Exchange Server. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of raw mode can be solved. Use raw mode at your own risk.
  1. Start the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program in raw mode by typing the following at an MS-DOS command prompt:


    2. c:\exchsrvr\bin\admin /r
  2. Go to the following location:
    Organization\Site\Configuration\Addressing\"E-mail address generators"
    Look for the existing address generator objects in the right pane of the window.


  3. Select Internet E-mail Address Generator for i386.


  4. On the File menu, click Raw Properties. (Repeat this step for all proxy generators.)


  5. In the right pane of the window a list of existing object attributes is displayed. Find File-Version, and compare the existing value with the values in the following table.
