Q276319: Adsiis.dll Leaks Memory Because of Unreleased String Allocation

Article: Q276319
Product(s): Internet Information Server
Version(s): 4.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbWinNT400PreSP7Fix
Last Modified: 08-MAY-2002

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

- Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you get the properties of a user object in a script by using Active
Directory Services Interface (ADSI), some memory may be leaked for each
iteration of the script.

CAUSE
=====

The getproperty method in the CPropertyCache class does not release an allocated
BSTR data-type string. Therefore, 20 bytes are leaked each time the function is
called.

RESOLUTION
==========

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or
later:
