Direct Mailer User Password Is Saved to Text File on Public Share

ID: Q229972


The information in this article applies to:


SYMPTOMS

When you create a Direct Mailing and set it up as a scheduled task, it writes a text file to the hard drive in a directory that is on a network share called \\server\TMLBQueue. As part of setting up the schedule, a Windows NT domain name and password are designated for the scheduled task to run under. The user password can be viewed in the text file because the default permissions on the share are set to Everyone - Full Control.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, place the appropriate permissions on the TMLBQueue share.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Site Server 3.0.
