The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.5, 5.5 SP1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Some Internet News readers may be unable to post a reply to a newsgroup folder
hosted on an Exchange Server 5.5 computer if the server has been configured to
not allow anonymous access.
CAUSE
=====
When anonymous access has been disabled on an Exchange Server 5.5 computer, the
server responds to a client connection with a 201 banner (no posting allowed).
Here is an example of the banner received by the client:
201 Microsoft Exchange Internet News Service Version 5.5.1960.6 (no
posting)
Because posting is allowed (as long as the client authenticates), the banner
returned should be a 200 (posting allowed):
200 Microsoft Exchange Internet News Service Version 5.5.1960.6 (posting
allowed)
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
