Membership MMC Administrator Does Not Display Expiration Date

ID: Q234008

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

The expiration property for a member in a Site Server Membership group is not correctly displayed in the Membership Directory Manager of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in after you apply the post-SP2 fix described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Q216709 ADSI 2.0, 2.5, and MDAC 2.1 Compatibility Issues

If you use any of the following methods to display the expiration property, the MMC fails to show that a date has been set:

Open the properties of a user (cn=Administrator) in the ou=members container. Click the Group tab. The second column should display the Expire date.

Click the Group tab, select one of the groups, and then click the Expire button. If only one group is selected, the Expire date should be displayed.

Open the properties of a group (cn=Public) in the ou=groups container. Click the Members tab. Select a member and click the Expire button.

CAUSE

The expiration attribute can be properly set and retrieved through scripting; however, the MMC fails to show that an expiration date has been set for a member in a group.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.
