XIMS: Incorrectly Formatted Channel Names Will Not Be Transcribed

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to transcribe new dynamic channels in the Microsoft Chat Service MMC, the users who join channels with the incorrectly formatted names (%#[ASCII 255], %#[ASCII 251]) see abnormal behavior. When the user sends private messages, the first channel will create a transcript file with the name %#, and the first user will receive a message indicating the channel message is being transcribed.

No other log files will be created for the channels, and any private messages will be placed in the log files.

RESOLUTION

If a channel with a normal name is created, it will transcribe normally while these two channels will not be transcribed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Chat Service included with Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1.
