WARNING: If you use the raw mode of the Exchange Server Administrator program (admin /r) incorrectly, serious problems may occur that may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows NT Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, or both. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that result from using raw mode incorrectly can be solved. Use raw mode at your own risk.
- Start the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program in raw mode by executing ADMIN.EXE -R from the EXCHSRVR\BIN directory.
- Open the Details Templates and the One-Off Address Templates objects under Configuration/Addressing in the Administrator program.
- Highlight the foreign language template(s) listed, and then click Delete Raw Object from the Edit menu in the Administrator program.
