PC Adm: Mail 3.2a Update Leaves Zero-Byte .GLB Files (121956)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2a
This article was previously published under Q121956 SYMPTOMS
When you update a postoffice from Microsoft Mail version 3.2 to version
3.2a and you select the Modify Postoffice option, the Server Setup program
creates two temporary .GLB files and does not delete them when it is
finished. These files are:
The version 3.2a Server Setup program asks "Do you wish to modify the
postoffice database?" Regardless of whether you choose "Yes" or "No," these
files will appear. These files will be generated as a result of either
installing or removing enhanced security or modifying the network type
(either LAN Man compatible or Novell).
If you select Modify Postoffice Database and select Install/Remove Enhanced
Security, the ACCESS.GLB file is modified. The other Access files,
ACCESS2.GLB and ACCESS3.GLB, are not modified. This will cause the date
and timestamps for these files to be different.
When Setup is running, during the Updating Postoffice section the messages
"Generating NPTRANS.GLB" and "Generating DELTID.GLB" will display on the
screen.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.2a of Microsoft
Mail for PC Networks. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
The existence of these two files will not affect the functionality of Mail
in any way.
