APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Standard Edition

-



This article was previously published under Q188310



SYMPTOMS
The Home Page URLs edit box on the Basic tab of the Server Manager Site Properties window in Site Server Analysis Usage Import allows a maximum of 255 characters. An asterisk cannot be used as a wildcard character.

This creates a problem for companies whose Web presence includes numerous home pages that can exceed this limitation.



CAUSE
The asterisk is treated as a literal; therefore, http://*.microsoft.com is treated as the literal string "*.microsoft.com."



RESOLUTION
Obtain the following fix or wait for the next Site Server 3.0 service pack.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Site Server version 3.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Microsoft Site Server version 3.0. For information about obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
