PC NTMMTA: Err Msg: Could Not Create Directory... (131677)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT 3.5
This article was previously published under Q131677 SYMPTOMS
When you install the Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT (NT
MMTA), and you use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to the home
postoffice (for example, \\SERVER\VOL\PATH), the option to overwrite the
default EXTERNAL.INI file in the \MAILDATA\INI subdirectory will give the
following error:
Setup Message: Could not create directory \\server\vol\ini\external.ini
RESOLUTION
When Setup prompts for the EXTERNAL.INI file to be overwritten, select Do
Not Overwrite. This will prevent Setup from overwriting the EXTERNAL.INI
file in the \MAILDATA\INI subdirectory for the home postoffice.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.5 of the
Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
