Re: How do you enable attachments in Win 2k and Outlook 2k?

Title: Message

Are all your versions of Outlook running the same service pack?  Service pack 2 for Outlook when connecting to an Exchange server blocks attachments with certain attachments.  The are still accessable through OWA if you server is configured to run it.   I am running both NT4 and WIN2k clients and have not seen this problem   Neil ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel Kim To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:19 PM 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.   Dan -----Original Message----- From: Middaugh, Bob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 4:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: How do you enable attachments in Win 2k and Outlook 2k? 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. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 3:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: How do you enable attachments in Win 2k and Outlook 2k? 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.
