FIX: Incorrect Version of Dapi.dll Installed from Exchange 2000 CD for Exchange 5.5 Management Tools (280136)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q280136

SYMPTOMS

The Exchange 2000 CD provides the option to install the Exchange 5.5 Management tools. If you choose this option, the Exchange 2000 version of the dynamic-link libraries (Dlls) for the Directory Application Programming Interface (DAPI) version 6.0.4417 are installed. This version of the DAPI DLLs is not supported programmatically against an Exchange 5.x Server. If you use DAPI to access an Exchange 5.x directory, you should use the DAPI DLLs that ship with Exchange 5.x.
