This article was previously published under Q273221





SYMPTOMS
At a command prompt, you may not be able to change folders on the Exchange 2000 installable file system (IFS) volume to a folder with a folder name that contains either of the following characters:
 * percent sign (%)
 * colon

When you attempt to do so, you may receive the following error message:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not use the percent sign (%) or colon characters when you change folders. Instead, use the wildcard character of the asterisk (*) in addition to a portion of the folder name to change folders at a command prompt.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.
