SYMPTOMS
========

When you install or upgrade Microsoft Exchange Server, you may receive a message
that says Exchange cannot continue because a DLL is in use.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

Exit the User Manager for Domains program. If the problem still persists, check
the task list and remove the Usrmgr.exe task.

  -or-

In Windows NT 4.0, open the Task Manager by using the CTRL-ALT-Delete key
combination or right-click on the taskbar. Go to the Processes page of the
Windows NT Task Manager and select the processes you want to end. Then click the
End Process button.

  -or-

In Windows NT 3.51, use the Pviewer.exe program in the Windows NT Resource Kit to
kill running processes.

  -or-

Try rerunning the Exchange installation program.

Note: There may be several User Manager processes left dormant depending on how
many times you have opened and closed User Manager while your server is having
these symptoms.
