SYMPTOMS
If you use the Microsoft Application Center 2000 command line tool, Ac.exe, to set a member offline by using the /memberonly switch, the member is set in the suspend status.

The documentation states that if you use both the /memberonly switch and the /drain:time switch, time must be defined as minutes. Therefore, although you expect the following command to drain the member for 10 minutes, the member drains for only 10 seconds:

AC.exe loadbalance /offline /memberonly /drain:10



RESOLUTION
If you use both the /memberonly switch and the /drain:time switch, define the time in seconds. Therefore, use the following command to define a drain of 10 minutes:

ac.exe loadbalance /offline/memberonly /drain:600

The value of 600 seconds equals 10 minutes.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section of this article.
