XFOR: Member's Properties Modifed After They Move to a Different Channel

ID: Q224456

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When a user leaves a channel and then joins a different channel on the same Microsoft Exchange Chat Service computer, the object identifier (OID) associated with his or her member record does not change. If you send a command that modifies a channel member's properties before he or she leaves the original channel, but the command is not received by the server until after the user joins the new channel, the user's properties are still modified. For example, if you use the MODE +O command to give operator privileges to a user in a channel, but the user moves to a different channel before the command is received by the server, the user is still given operator privileges when the command is received.
