SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Site Server Search and search one or more Exchange public folders, temporary files are created to hold copies of attachments in the messages in the public folders. These files are created in the system temporary directory (defined either by a system TEMP environment variable, or %winnt%\system32). These files are not deleted, and disc space is lost.



RESOLUTION
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Site Server service pack that contains this hotfix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
