SYMPTOMS
After the REBUILD.EXE program is run, the Global Address List (GAL)
will be enabled, even if it was disabled.
CAUSE
This can happen when running REBUILD.EXE or by running directory
synchronization (Dir-Sync), which runs REBUILD.EXE.
RESOLUTION
You can avoid having Dir-Sync run REBUILD.EXE by renaming REBUILD.EXE
to REBUILD.XXX.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this is to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.2,
3.2a and 3.5 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
