After you upgrade from the Microsoft Windows NT Option Pack Network News
Transport Protocol Server to the Microsoft Commercial Internet System
(MCIS) version 2.0 NNTP Server, the NNTP Service may not start. The
following error message appears:

option.

location.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do the following:
- From within the Microsoft Management Console, go to the Default NNTP
Server, right-click, and select Properties.
- Click the Home Directory tab, and modify the Local Path from
c:\inetpub\nntpfile to the correct path.

Internet System version 2.0.
