SYMPTOMS

If you create an auditorium channel on a Microsoft Exchange Chat Service computer, and then one or more users join the channel from a different server, the Chat Service on the second server may stop unexpectedly when you use the MODE +O command to give operator privileges to a user in the channel.

CAUSE

When operator privileges are given to a user in an auditorium channel, the Chat Service attempts to notify all users in the channel that the change has taken place. This problem occurs because the Chat Service does not properly notify remote users.
