SYMPTOMS
The process to register an event sink for an NNTP published root folder or subfolder does not work and returns error number -2147217837 (method is not supported by this provider).



CAUSE
You cannot register an event sink in a newsgroup root folder because saving any mail messages or files in a newsgroup root folder is not permitted.



RESOLUTION

The typical support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question.

Component: NNTP
