The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:
Component: Directory service to metabase
| File name | Version |
|---|
| Ds2mb.dll | 6.0.4720.9 |
NOTE: Because of file dependencies, this update requires Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 Service Pack 1.
After you apply this fix, you must use IIS Manager to create new HTTP virtual servers instead of using Exchange System Manager. Any changes that are made to Application Protection, Enable Logging, and Connection Timeout will persist after Ds2mb.dll runs.
