When you click the Force Update button the server puts a timestamp on the server in this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\Messenger Server\Settings\Client Update Timestamp
When the client attempts to login it compares it's timestamp located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ipswitch\Messenger\Version 1.0\Settings\Client Update Timestamp If the clients timestamp does not match the server's then the client will pop a message asking the user to update their client If they are the same then the client will login normally 2 Things you can do from this point 1. You can set the Client Update Timestamp on the server back to 0 and all users will login but will not get the update message and will still be using the old client. Then send out an email asking all your users to download a copy of the client 2. You can fill out the Client Update URL/Path in the server manager, enter either a URL for a web site http://intranet/imclient101.exe or you can enter a path for a mapped drive that all of your clients may have m:\imclient101.exe Mike Barber Software Tester -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott Cato Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 2:19 PM Subject: [IpswitchIM_Forum] Getting Error on Clients: Administrative Forced Update I'm getteing the following error on the clients when trying to login Administrative Forced Update.
