-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

The Internet Chat Server currently does not properly display visual notification
that the /kill command was successful. However, the /kill command does operate
correctly and will properly delete the channel or force the user off the server
when issued.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Chat Server version
2.0, included with Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. Microsoft is
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When you are logged on to the Microsoft Internet Chat Server (ICS) as an
administrator, you can use the /kill command from the server console to either
disconnect users from the server or remove channels.

To verify that the /kill command was successful, the ICS administrator can do the
following:

1. After you issue a /kill on a user, perform a /whois <nickname>. This
  should report "No such nick/channel."

2. After you issue a /kill on a channel, perform a /list to verify that the
  channel no longer exists.

Additional query words: remove kick ban force
