Nerd's error lookup tool

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

On a recent Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 course I learned about a great command-line tool that is able to lookup error messages based on the error number.

Yes, a rudimentary tool came already with Visual C++ 6.0, but that tool didn't support that many error messages.

Now, the "Exchange 2003 Error Code Look-up Tool" is able to scan many .H files, and return the correct error information.

Also, you don't have to have the .H files available, since all that data has been incorporated into the single 1.6 MB EXE file.

I can heartily suggest downloading this tool, even though the output can be very verbose.

The tool is available here:
