This article was previously published under Q175967





SYMPTOMS
When you migrate users from SFS or cc:Mail to Microsoft Exchange Server, you cannot edit the PAB migration message that is paced in the migrated user's Inbox. This functionality existed in Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0.



CAUSE
This change was implemented to simplify codepage issues resulting from editing the default PAB message.



WORKAROUND
To workaround this problem, follow these steps:


 * 1) Create a text file called Pabmsg.txt and place it in the \Exchsrvr\bin directory.
 * 2) Run all migrations that will generate the PAB migration message (SFS, CCMail).

When you no longer want this functionality, simply remove the Pabmsg.txt file.



STATUS

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.
