XIMS: After Setting a Channel Limit on an Invite Only Channel, Users Can Be Invited After Join Limit Is Reached (236948)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP2
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP3
  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

A chat user creates an Invite Only channel and sets a member limit for the channel; however, they can still invite other chat users after the channel has reached its capacity.

STATUS

This behavior is by design. An official invitation allows the invited user to enter a channel despite:
  • The channel's member limits (but not the server-wide channel member limit).
  • A channel ban on the user that is invited.
  • The fact that a non-authenticated user may enter if invited by a host.
  • The existence of a keyword.

MORE INFORMATION

Server-wide channel member limit settings (for dynamic channels) are still checked and applied.
