After upgrading from SEP 11 MR2 to MR3, my users 0x800CCC0F Outlook error stopped....for one day, then re-appeared. This issue ONLY occurred during his mail retrieval process. During my troubleshooting, I had initially opened a command prompt, and issued the command: telnet pop.myserver.com 110 And received an inline PGP reply, that it was proxying the connection. That prompted me to do a little Googling, but revealed nothing. I found a MS Kb article that pointed to some troubleshooting steps, but they didn't help at all, and neither did Symantec's kb or forums Much to my surprise and glee, he started to experiment with his POP settings. After setting his POP connection to SSL, his problems went away!

After all the work I did on these batch files that decrypt PGP files, and un-tar the contents, I've found an error, and a pretty major *duh* one at that. Seems my logic was way off when it came to doing some date checking. Since the files I check have a naming convention that uses the previous days date, I was simply subtracting one from %TODAY%. Seems ok, right? No. This is the *duh* part. I simply subtracted 1. From 1001, that makes 1000. That's not a day, when you are using MMDD as the convention. What I was looking for was 930. NOT the same. SSSssoooooo, I added a bit I found on Experts Exchange (THANK you..for saving me MUCHO time). I was also having some issues trapping the ERRORLEVEL. Apparently, since FOR loops in DOS batch scripts are executed as one command, PGP never has a chance to pass it's exit code to my IF check, so this was also modified. The modded file is here .

This process outlined is not unlike what I wrote about in my post here , but involves a bit more logic. The script has to check for files that were posted that morning, but also have a file naming convention of the previous day. I've also got about 200 EMR postscript files to sort by date of service. First, the source PGP/tar files must be checked for existence, and must be a pair with the proper date formatted file name. @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION :: ////////////////////////////////////////////// :: :: Set path variables for key access, passphrase, :: and source our key files.
