There is a urlscan.ini file that you edit accordingly. Very easy...

Subject: OWA and IIS do not like the ampersand "&" symbol

Well, in my continuing saga of upgrading from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange
2000 I have found yet another interesting snag.

Exchange 2000
Windows 2000 Server
IIS 5
Outlook Web Access

URLSCAN and IIS Lockdown tool applied to the OWA server  (using the OWA
template!)

If a user has a message with the ampersand ( & ) in the subject line and
tries to read that message using outlook web access, the user gets the
nasty "FILE NOT FOUND" error in their browser.  Why?

Because URLSCAN will reject the %26 character (which is the hex number
for that symbol)!

Yuck.

I'm sure there is a way to configure URLSCAN to let this one by, just
haven't gone to figure it out yet.  I'l let you know when/if I do.

Just thought y'all might want to know this.
