- Microsoft Mail Post Office Diagnostics Utility, version 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Microsoft Mail Postoffice Diagnostics Utility (PODIAG.EXE) Address &
Group Check reports that the GALINDEX.GLB is missing on a version 2.1
postoffice. The PODIAG.LOG file displays the following message:

  Note 123 Detected file (GALINDEX.GLB) missing from directory
  (M:\MAILDATA\GLB). This file may be essential to postoffice processing, but
  it is not part of the initial installation.

CAUSE
=====

The GALINDEX.GLB file should only exist on version 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 Microsoft
Mail postoffices after the postoffice has participated in directory
synchronization (Dir-Sync). This feature was not available on version 2.1
postoffices.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.2 of the Microsoft
Mail Postoffice Diagnostics Utility. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
