XADM: DBCS Becomes "?" When You Click "Save Window Contents"

Article ID: 182314

Article Last Modified on 10/28/2006



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q182314


SYMPTOMS

In the Exchange Server Administrator program, when you click "Save Windows Contexts" on the File menu, Double Byte Charactor Set (DBCS) characters are not handled properly. All DBCS characters in the Administrator window become question marks.

CAUSE

This is because the Exchange Server Administrator program (Admin.exe) converts all UNICODE to Windows ANSI string. Windows ANSI string does not contain the DBCS table.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5.
