XFOR: Member's Properties Modified After They Move to a Different Channel

ID: Q224456

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5

SYMPTOMS

When a user leaves a channel and then joins a different channel on the same Microsoft Exchange Chat Service computer, the object identifier (OID) associated with his or her member record does not change. If you send a command that modifies a channel member's properties before he or she leaves the original channel, but the command is not received by the server until after the user joins the new channel, the user's properties are still modified. For example, if you use the MODE +O command to give operator privileges to a user in a channel, but the user moves to a different channel before the command is received by the server, the user is still given operator privileges when the command is received.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

Component: Chat Server

File name	Version
Chatsvc.exe	5.5.2503.0

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 3.

MORE INFORMATION

After you apply the fix, if the channel specified in the command is not the same as the channel that the user is currently a member of, the user's properties are not modified.
