SYMPTOMS
When you view information in the Exchange Server Administrator program, some of the characters appear as vertical dark bars.

This happens when you view information in the U.S. version of the Administrator program on a computer running the U.S. version of Exchange Server that has directory information replicated to it from a Japanese version Exchange Server computer.



CAUSE
The Japanese code page is not installed on the U.S. version server or the MS Mincho font is not being used by the Exchange Server Administrator program.



RESOLUTION
Install the Japanese code page on the U.S. version Exchange Server computer, and in the Exchange Server Administrator program, on the View menu, click Font, and select MS Mincho.



MORE INFORMATION
Using the MS Mincho font allows the U.S. version of the Exchange Server Administrator program to display the Japanese information correctly, instead of with vertical bars.
