XFOR: Err Msg: The Network Name Could Not Be Found

ID: Q162919

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When you create a new postoffice in the Microsoft Mail Connector to connect an Exchange Server computer to a Microsoft Mail 3.x postoffice on a Novell server, you may receive the following error message:

The network name could not be found

CAUSE

The postoffice path specified is incorrect.

RESOLUTION

Verify that postoffice path for connecting to the Novell volume is valid and does not use a colon (:) to separate the volume from the server name. If you specify a colon (:) instead of a backslash (\) you may receive an error.

Incorrect: server:volume:maildata

To resolve this, replace the colon with a backslash to specify the proper postoffice path.

Correct: \\server\volume\maildata
