BUG: Some Subs.adm Fields Are Not Viewable In Poledit

• Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit versions 1.0, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you view the Subs.adm template in the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) using Poledit, the Subs.adm template does not display the last few parameters correctly. The text describing the parameters is too long and extends beyond the right side of the Poledit dialog box so that the edit boxes for the fields do not display.

RESOLUTION

Cut and paste the following ADM script file into notepad and save as Subs.adm:

; subs.adm
;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
CLASS USER ;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

IEAK_Description1=The restrictions on these subscription settings allow you
to control the amount of information downloaded. These settings allow you
to restrict bandwidth in a number of ways. You may want to consider using
these settings if you are concerned about server load.
IEAK_Description2=Maximum site subscription crawl depth controls how many
levels the webcasting update utility will search for new information. This
setting should be used carefully as a high setting could make the amount of
information being downloaded exponentially large.
