XFOR: Server Slow When Making Connection to Portal

ID: q164725

The information in this article applies to:

STATUS

This article applies to Microsoft Chat Server. In Microsoft Commercial Internet System, version 1.0, code was written so that a server would wait one minute before attempting to connect a portal, and then wait an additional five minutes before attempting to connect a second time.

RESOLUTION

Chatsvc.dll has been modified to attempt first connection after 10 seconds, then retry after one minute. To correct this problem, upgrade the server(s) to Service Pack 1 (SP1) for MCIS. This will update the Chatsvc.dll file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial Internet System version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Commercial Internet System version 1.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
