XFOR: Mode Command Does Not Function Properly with Chat Server (197292)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5

This article was previously published under Q197292

SYMPTOMS

When you connect to a Microsoft Chat Server computer using an account that has administrative permissions, and then use the MODE command to list all the banned users, the command may not function properly. In addition, if you attempt to use the MODE command to ban a user or stop banning a user, an Extensions to the Internet Relay Chat Protocol (IRCX) 914 or 915 error may be displayed.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the server incorrectly responds to the MODE command in IRCX format instead of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) format.

RESOLUTION

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