XADM: Upgrading Active Server Page Scripts (166624)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q166624 SUMMARY
Microsoft Exchange 5.0 Active Server Pages components do not support file
version numbers. When you install a service pack or upgrade to a new
version of Microsoft Exchange Server, the entire Webdata directory is
renamed to Webdata.000, and a new Webdata directory is created. Any
scripting changes made to the default script files included with Microsoft
Exchange Server will need to be updated manually after the upgrade has
taken place.
MORE INFORMATION
When you upgrade an existing Microsoft Exchange Server installation to a
service pack or a new version, the install process does a check for every
file to be installed. It checks to ensure the file exists and then to
ensure that the file to be installed is not older than the existing
file itself.
Microsoft Exchange Server Active Server Pages are primarily script files,
open to modification by the administrator or other personnel. Because these
script files may contain custom code, the whole directory is copied to
prevent data loss.
If any of the Active Server Pages script files for Microsoft Exchange
Server were modified before the upgrade, the administrator will need to re-
apply these changes to the scripts which are now resident in the Webdata
directory in order to match any changes they may have made by customizing
their scripts.
