SYMPTOMS

When you send an e-mail message containing an attachment from Exchange Server 5.5 through the cc:Mail Connector, users receiving and viewing it with the cc:Mail version 8.01 client see a date stamp instead of the attachment file name.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5.

MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.

To install the hotfix, please perform the following steps:

  1. Stop the CCMAIL Connector.
  2. Copy the files included in the hotfix to the following locations:

    Ccmc.exe: Exchsrvr\Connect\Ccmail\bin Ccmsg.dll: Exchsrvr\Res

  3. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe), and go to the following subkey:

         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeCCMC
         \Parameters
                            

    NOTE: The above registry path has been wrapped for readability.

  4. On the Edit menu, click Add Value and add the following information:

         Value Name: Version 8 Attachment Format
         Class: DWORD
         Data: 1
                            

    Setting the above key to 1 prevents the date and time from being appended to the attchment name. (If it is set to 0 or is not present, then there is no change in the current behavior.)

  5. Restart the CCMail Connector Service.
