SYMPTOMS

Cabinet (.cab) files that contain phone book information for Connection Manager may not be created when you use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) shortcut. For example, when you install Connection Point Services (CPS) Phone Book Administrator (PBA) on two computers that are running Windows 2000, if you create a UNC shortcut on computer 1 to the PBA on computer 2, and then start PBA from the shortcut and create a phone book release, .cab files may not be created.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, start PBA from a mounted drive.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
