APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q198809

SYMPTOMS

When performing a WHO command from a Chat client to the Microsoft Exchange Chat Service, when an invisible user joins a channel, that user is listed in the WHO output. The client issuing the WHO command is not an IRC operator, and is not a member of any channels.

STATUS

This is by design. When an invisible user joins a 'public' channel or is in a common channel with the user executing the WHO command, the user will appear in the WHO list.
