Hi all,

 

I have a bit of a strange problem with Exchange on Windows 2003 small business 
server and I am hoping it will be something simple. I have been trying to setup 
the NNTP side where you can get newsgroups to appear under the public folders 
list however it is showing the newsgroups but no articles in side them. I 
thought it maybe something to with the NewNews command but I have joined a news 
provider that does support it and a lot of people have also got it working with 
them. I have checked the event log and I get the following error codes

 

Event Type:      Information

Event Source:   NNTPSVC

Event Category:            None             

Event ID:          90

Date:                11/02/2004

Time:                20:18:11

User:                N/A

Computer:        Server

Description:

The virtual server 1 has completed an active feed from/to News.Individual.NET. 
Status is FAILURE.

 

Event Type: Warning

Event Category: None
Event ID: 101

Description:
The server was unable to add the virtual root '/' for the directory '/Internet 
Newsgroups' due to the following error: The parameter is incorrect.  The data 
is the error code.

 

 

I have confirmed that my user / pass are ok and it does work in outlook express 
however I am not sure why it maybe failing on the exchange side. All the 
services needed are started and they have no reported errors.  The following is 
from the NNTPSVC1 log in the windows / system32 / logs folder

 

130.133.1.4, <feed>, 2/11/2004, 19:52:09, NNTPSVC1, SERVER, 192.168.0.2, 430,

0, 0, 0, 0, -, -, -,

 

The strange thing is if I stop the NNTP service and then restart it, it will 
sometimes say status is SUCCESS but then after a 2nd go at trying it comes up 
with status is FAILURE. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the help.

 

Regards,

Gray
