- Microsoft Metadirectory Services, version 2.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) installer marks an invalid build
number in the Zoomserv\Data\Config\Db5cfg file. For example:

  ##########################################
  # FILE: db5cfg #
  # DATABASE CONFIGURATION FILE #
  ##########################################
  #
  context_prefix dc=testcorp,dc=com
  db5_local_dsa_name DsaName=meta,ou=Applications,dc=testcorp,dc=com
  db5_local_mta_name MtaName=MtaName,ou=Applications,dc=testcorp,dc=com
  db5_local_x400_domain_name p=yourPRMD/a=yourADMD/c=yourCo
  db5_local_x400_msg_id_sig uniqueID
  #db5_rel_db_dir path_to_directory
  #db5_asn_db_dir path_to_directory
  #db5_hash_db_dir path_to_directory
  #db5_tran_db_dir path_to_directory
  #db5_fileattr_dir path_to_directory
  db5_max_tran_file_size 64000000
  maximum_adminpoints_cached 360
  maximum_adminlinks_cached 4096
  hostname meta.testcorp.com
  Installed 2.1 Build 0804.000 01/21/2000 09:46:39

RESOLUTION

server:

  box that appears.
