SYMPTOMS
When you use the Exchange System Manager to create a new virtual server, an incorrect path is set to the metabase value VrPath for the slave group virtual root. This incorrect value prevents this new virtual server from working correctly as either a master or slave server. This value does not affect any other functions of this virtual server.



WORKAROUND
Use Rserver.vbs located in the Winnt\System32\Inetsrv folder to create the virtual server instead of using Exchange System Manager. This command-line tool sets the values correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.



MORE INFORMATION
The command-line script Rserver.vbs can be used to create NNTP virtual servers. To use this script, the Windows Script Host (WSH) must be installed. WSH is installed by default when you install Windows 2000. You can use either Wscript (windows-based script host) or Cscript.exe (command-line script host) to run Rserver.vbs. The command looks similar to the following:

cscript rserver.vbs 

These are the available options:   rserver - Manipulate NNTP virtual servers -t g      Get NNTP virtual server properties s      Set NNTP virtual server properties c      Create a new NNTP virtual server d      Delete an NNTP virtual server -s Specify computer to configure -v  Specify virtual server ID          -c  Allow client posts -l Soft client post limit in bytes -h Hard client post limit in bytes -f  Allow feed posts -i Soft feed post limit in bytes -j Hard feed post limit in bytes -m SMTP address for moderated posts -d Domain name for default moderators -u UUCP name of this server -x  Process control messages -n Internal NNTP server files location -a Administrator e-mail account -p Pickup directory -q Failed pickup directory -e Drop directory -b  Disable NEWNEWS command -r  Honor client msg IDs -o TCP Port for client connections
