How to Modify Timeout Values for the Transport Event Sink and the ISAPI Extension (285538)

MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other LDAP version 3 client, and you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can cause serious problems. These problems may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, or both. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that occur if you incorrectly modify Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify these attributes at your own risk.

By default, the ISAPI extension and the Mobile Information Server event transport sink have a timeout value of five minutes (300 seconds). If you are the Mobile Information server administrator, you can adjust this value to meet the needs of your server.

To change the timeout value for the transport sink, make the following changes to the registry:

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the following key in the registry:

   HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\MIG\Transport\TCPTimeout

3. Change the value for this key to any value between 1 (at the minimum) and 900 seconds (at the maximum).
   
   NOTE: By default, this value is displayed as 0 which indicates a timeout value of 300 seconds.
4. Quit Registry Editor.

To change the timeout value for the ISAPI extension, use an Active Directory editor such as ADSI Edit to locate and add the following attribute to the MMISNotify object:

1. Browse to the following location:

   Configuration Domain_name/Microsoft Mobile Information server/Services/Default-Site/Connectors/MMISNotify

2. Add a MaxResponseTime attribute that has a value for the number of seconds that you want the time out period to be.
