256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows registry



SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade from Small Business Server 4.5 to Small Business Server 2000, Outlook Web Access may not function properly. Users who attempt to use Outlook Web Access may receive a &quot;Page cannot be displayed&quot; error message. (This error message is equivalent to an HTPP 404 &quot;File not found&quot; error message.)



CAUSE
This issue may occur if the following registry key is not deleted during the Exchange upgrade process:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeWeb\Applications\Exchange



RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To resolve this issue, delete only the Exchange subkey from the following registry key, and then restart the computer:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeWeb\Applications



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, remove the Exchfilt.dll ISAPI filter from the default Web site. This causes Outlook Web Access to function properly.

NOTE: If you use this workaround, Exchange Conferencing Server does not work.



MORE INFORMATION
Another symptom of this issue is recorded in the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) logs. If the Applications subkey is not deleted during the upgrade process, incoming Web requests for Outlook Web Access look similar to:

GET /exchange/USA/Default.htm

After a successful Exchange upgrade, so that this issue is not occurring, the Web request does not contain a &quot;USA&quot; entry. For example:

GET /exchange/

In the correct GET request, the &quot;USA&quot; language is not specified.
