The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Post Office Diagnostics Utility 3.2
This article was previously published under Q110224 SUMMARY
Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Postoffice Diagnostics Utility (PODIAG.EXE)
has several command-line parameters you can enter on the Program Manager
File Run menu. You can also add these command-line options to the command-
line properties of the PODIAG icon. The following is an example of the
command-line properties that will automatically log the administrator in to
a postoffice mapped to drive M while logging the information to a local log
file:
c:\podiag\podiag.exe -dm:\maildata admin -ppassword
-lc:\podiag.log -r -a
MORE INFORMATION
The following is a complete list of all of the command-line options and
their descriptions.
admin
The mailbox of the postoffice administrator. This option is used in
conjunction with the -ppassword option.
-d<path>
The letter of the network drive where the postoffice data files are
located, if it is not the current drive. If you do not specify a path, the
diagnostics utility assumes that the postoffice is in the current directory
on the specified drive.
For example, if the data files are in the current directory on drive M, and
the Diagnostics utility is in the PODIAG directory on drive C, you start
the Diagnostics utility by typing the following line, where the mailbox
name used to sign in is admin:
c:\podiag.exe admin -dm
If the postoffice directory is not the current directory on the drive, you
need to specify the path. For example, if the postoffice is in the MAILDATA
directory on drive M, type the following line:
c:\podiag.exe admin -dm:\maildata
The -d command-line parameter can be used in conjunction with the
PODIAG.INI Login= and Password= settings.
-l<logfilename> (Log File Option)
Specifies the log file location and filename. For example:
-ldiaglog.log
-p<password> (Password Option)
The password of the mailbox name used to start the diagnostics utility. If
you do not specify a password, you are required to do so on the Sign In
screen.
-r (Batch Run Option)
Runs all tools automatically on a postoffice. To run tools automatically,
you must specify the administrator mailbox name, the -p<password> option,
and the -d<drive letter> option.
