XFOR: Modifying QROOT Parameter Requires UNC Path

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

Depending on special circumstances, you may need to modify the default location of the qroot parameter in the Linkage\Exchconn.ini file. If you use a drive mapping (for example, QROOT=Z:\Exchconn), and then proceed to log off, the following error messages will occur in the event logs.

1997/09/20 05:14:10- LME-PROFS-DIAMEX(00df) 1 04067:{The filename was invalid}: Unable to open QCR file z:\exchconn\q\vm2mex.in\00000000.qcr in queue vm2mex.in

>> qm(7883)
1997/09/20 05:14:10- LME-PROFS-DIAMEX(00df) 1 04076:{The filename was invalid}: Unable to query current state of queue vm2mex.in

>> dia2mex(1573)

CAUSE

The Microsoft Exchange Connectivity services are incorrectly using localized information.

WORKAROUND

Rather than using a drive mapping, specify a full Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) path to the actual location of the Qroot directory (for example, QROOT=\\server_name\Exchconn).
