SYMPTOMS
When a user is connected to the Microsoft Internet Chat server and sends a mode command the user is not able to execute upon another user, the following error message will be displayed:

-server error


 * server 502 nick1 :Cant change mode for other users



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Chat Server, version 2.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Some administrators may note the misspelling of "Cant", which should be "Can't".

This misspelling occurred in the actual IRC RFC-1459 and has been adopted by all current IRC2 servers. The Microsoft Internet Chat Server must use the same misspelling in order to maintain compatibility.

This behavior is by product design.
