Q199339: XFOR: Chat Server Join Command to Multiple Channels Doesn’t Work

Article: Q199339
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): winnt:5.5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): exc55
Last Modified: 05-JUN-1999

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

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


SYMPTOMS
========

In Microsoft Exchange Chat Server, when you place a space within a list of
channels to be joined by a single join command, the following message appears:

  475:Cannot join channel (+k)

None of the channels listed in the join command will be joined. The expected
behavior is that the channels up to the space character are joined and all
channels following the space are ignored.

WORKAROUND
==========

Remove the space from the join command.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Chat Server.
