This article was previously published under Q118932 SYMPTOMS
When the Microsoft Mail administrator tries to change the network and/or
postoffice name by choosing Config, Password from the Mail Administrator
program (ADMIN.EXE), the following error may be displayed:
Error updating MASTER.GLB
CAUSE
This error occurs if the MASTER.GLB file in the GLB subdirectory of the
Mail database is marked read-only or is locked open.
RESOLUTION
Check the attributes of the MASTER.GLB file in the GLB subdirectory, and
remove the read-only attribute if it has been set. Use the MS-DOS ATTRIB
command to set the attribute to read-write, as follows:
If the file is locked open, close the file. On a Novell server, you can
determine the status of locked files by starting the MONITOR program.
Choose the file open/lock activity, and choose
volume/dir/subdir/master.glb. This will yield a connection number and from
connection activity, you can find out who has the file open.
On a LAN Manager server, you can check for locked files by running the NET
ADMIN command and choosing Opened Files from the Status menu.
For other file servers, consult the administrator's guide for that server
to determine if a file is locked open and by whom.
