ID: q214552
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Commercial Internet System version 2.0
-
Microsoft News Server
SYMPTOMS
NNTP logging format for MCIS 2.0 has changed since MCIS 1.0.

articles were read. In this way, it was possible to have statistics about
the hit rate on a specific newsgroup.
In MCIS 2.0, this feature doesn't exist anymore. Only the fact that an
article has been read and the article ID are logged in the logging file,
but not the name of the respective newsgroup.
CAUSE
NNTP logging format for MCIS 2.0 has changed since MCIS 1.0.
