Subject: RE: How do you enable
attachments in Win 2k and Outlook 2k?
First of all thanks to everyone for your suggestions. Let me
clarify my situation. Using the same version of Outlook 2k on a
NT 4 WS (SP6a) or Win 2k Pro Sp2, I can view the attachments on the NT 4
WS but not on the Win 2k Pro computer. I've also tried using Outlook XP,
still a no go.
The
bottom line is, I can view attachments under NT 4 but not Win 2k. I was
told by another NA that this is a lovely "feature" of Win 2k. My
question is, is there a workaround for this? We'll soon be migrating all
of the workstations except 1 to Win 2k from NT 4 WS. I'd hate to disturb
our one user who has the NT 4 machine every time some one needs to view an
"unsafe" attachment.
Thanks for all the pointers.

Hi
Kim,
I've been using w2k with Office 2000 and Exchange 5.5 for awhile now,
since the beta of win2k and the release of O2k, attachments show up by
default. If you're exchange server is less than sp3 for exchange 5.5,
update that. Also, MS released an Outlook client for Exchange 5.5 sp3
specifically, check your technet subscription if you have one. I would
patch Office 2k up to sr2 if you don't have access to this. Is it
possible that on your exchange server someone configured a mailbox limit or
attachment size limit that you're not aware of? I know our Exchange
server (before sp3) would not always keep the information store defaults on
max size limits for all mailboxes. Occasionally, a user would have a
different limit than others, even though his/her mailbox was set to use the
IS defaults. Also, Norton Antivirus Corporate edition with exchange
support enabled will do this on the client side. If this is suspect,
uninstall norton and reinstall without exchange support enabled, all virus
scanning will still take place, read symantec's details for more, don't know
the link off the top of my head. Good Luck.
Quick question. Is there an easy way to
enable attachments in Outlook 2000/Exchange 5.5 in Win 2k Pro? The
attachments are viewable under NT 4 and Outlook 2k/Exchange
5.5.
I know Win 2k disables the ability to view
attachments such as *.mdb, *.exe, etc. It simplifies our lives
considerably to email things from client sites back to the office via
email and its getting to be a pain because the Win 2k Pro WS won't allow
us to view the attachments.
Thanks for any help.
