SUMMARY
On page 283 of the version 3.0 Microsoft Mail for PC Networks "Administrator[ASCII 146]s Guide" and on page 322 of the version 3.2 "Administrator's Guide," it states that after the Import utility completes a task it will display MS-DOS errorlevel codes. This is misleading; the codes are not visible to the user.



MORE INFORMATION
The documentation does not explicitly state that the Import utility does not generate external errorlevel codes, but rather internal errorlevel codes. The Import utility will generate various MS-DOS internal errorlevel codes when it participates in directory synchronization (Dir-Sync).

These codes are typically received and processed by DISPATCH.EXE, which is responsible for calling and governing the automatic Dir-Sync process.

The IMPORT utility itself incorporates its own error codes to be received and processed by DISPATCH.EXE during the automated Dir-Sync process. Mail administrators attempting to employ any fault tolerance schemes dependent on these implied external errorlevel codes will unlikely be able to do so.

Additional query words: 3.00 3.20 admin
