The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
This article was previously published under Q270870

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to create an Instant Messaging object within the Protocols section of Exchange System Manager, the Next button may be unavailable after you select a newly created Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) Web site to enable Instant Messaging against.

CAUSE

There is a space contained within the name of the Host header that is defined during the creation of a new Web site. This information can be found in the following location:
  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Services Manager.
  2. Right-click the newly created Web site, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the Website tab, and then click Advanced.
  4. Verify that a space exists within the Host Header Name field.

RESOLUTION

Remove and recreate the current Host Header name that contains a space with another Host Header name that does not contain a space, to be used in conjunction with Instant Messaging.
