SYMPTOMS
When you use MapiSend.exe from a command prompt, with no Exchange Client running, you may get the following error message:

Error: mapi mapisend failed: 3

You can run MapiSend.exe successfully if you have an Exchange Client running.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you are logged on to a Windows NT domain that is different than the Windows NT domain that Exchange Server is on.



WORKAROUND
Make sure that you are logged on to the same Windows NT domain as Exchange Server.



MORE INFORMATION
MapiSend.exe is a Resource Kit utility that allows a user to send a message to an Exchange user from a DOS command window. If you are not logged on to an Exchange Client and are logged into a different domain from the Windows prompt, you will not be able to use the correct authentication necessary to use the MapiSend utility. For more information concerning the MapiSend.exe utility, see the Readme.txt file in the Exchange or BackOffice Resource Kit.
