SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to attach a file to a new message in Outlook Web Access (OWA), you may receive the following error message:

HTTP/1.0 500 Server Error (A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.)

The only option available is to close the dialog box, which cancels the message you are attempting to send.

After this occurs, the following error appears in the application event log on the Exchange Server computer:

Event ID: 19

Source W3SVC

Type: Error

Category: None

Description: The HTTP server was unable to load the ISAPI application

'c:\exchsrvr\webdata\exupload.dll'. The data is the error.



CAUSE
This error is caused by registry restrictions that prevent guest access; it occurs when OWA is using Internet Explorer 5. This error occurs if the following registry key is enabled with a value of 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\RestrictGuestAccess

This registry key prevents guests or anonymous users from viewing event logs on the server.
