No. it doesn't sound server-side to me, at all.

If EP is configured properly on her workstation, then I don't know. But I 
SUSPECT she has a rogue installation of something. :)

If you mean on the client, I'll check that tomorrow when I get the machine-We 
have SCEP, but I've not seen anything like this (yet).

Just curious, but if she hadn't tested yet from another machine, would you see 
a reason to try disabling AV/malware filtering on the server if it's just the 
one person's mailbox not working in the same database as working mailboxes, 
same e-mail sent to both?

What about AV?

No problems with my test account on the same server and DB from here, and there 
is only one Malware filter defined, so it should now be using the same one that 
she has.  Honestly, it feels more like a public/private computer issue as the 
malware filter is actually set to delete infected messages, and this is just 
blocking from opening (but not under my admin account from here)-nothing is 
removed.

Unless there are additional ideas, I'll probably have to wait until I can have 
more time with her machine/account.

Thanks,
Bonnie

Sorry-I didn't mention this is two servers in a DAG, all roles, with Barracuda 
hardware LBs in front.

I hadn't checked that-can see her mailbox database is on the other server.  I'm 
moving my test account to her DB right now to try.

Still haven't heard back from her just yet to check some other things.  She's a 
librarian, so pretty busy during the school day, and the workstation is also 
used for checking out books (hence the OWA logon as she needs it).

Are your test account and the user account on the same mailbox server and 
database?  Just for S&G, have you tried temporarily disabling the built-in 
Exchange malware detection and tried it?  This is a per-server setting on 
Mailbox servers.

Exchange 2013 cu3 (not SP1), I have one user reporting this issue with a file

If I use an admin account to open her mailbox via OWA from another machine, I 
do not have this problem with the attachment.  I also had the original sender 
forward the same message (with attachment) to my test account and don't have 
problems there either.

Doing some reading, I verified that her OWA mailbox policy is set to our 
"Default" (the only one defined, so same as my test account).  I also can see 
that *.xlsb is allowed via these PS commands:
Get-OwaMailboxPolicy Default | select -ExpandProperty BlockedFileTypes         
(is not listed)
            And
Get-OwaMailboxPolicy Default | select -ExpandProperty AllowedFileTypes         
(is listed)

Office 2010 appears to be correctly installed and otherwise working on the 
Windows 7 SP1 workstation.

I checked both the OWA policy and individual server virtual directory "file 
access" settings via EAC and boxes are correctly checked to allow Direct File 
access from both public and private devices.

I'm trying to get the person to test on another machine under her account and 
get access to that machine to log on my test account, but is there anything 
else I can be looking at?  Could *.xlsb be blocked on her account individually 
somewhere (and where to look for that)?

Thanks,
Bonnie
