SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Exchange Chat client to connect to a Microsoft Internet Chat Server, OnJoin and OnPart messages are not displayed.



CAUSE
The Microsoft Internet Chat Service (ICS) has the ability to set OnJoin and OnPart messages on individual channels. The OnJoin message is displayed to a client upon joining (/JOIN) a channel, and the OnPart message is displayed when leaving (/PART) the channel.

The Microsoft Exchange Chat client uses a proprietary protocol known as MIC to communicate with the ICS, and this protocol does not support the OnJoin and OnPart messages.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Chat Service, which ships with Exchange Server version 5.5. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Any chat client that uses the IRC protocol can see these messages.
