Exchange 2003 Removing Level 2 File type problems

Hi,

SBS2003 SP2
Exchange 2003

I am using an exchange server 2003 built in sbs2003. Since a while i'm getting security warning when user try's to open attachement directly in outlook. First, i did add the reg key RemoveLevel1 (.tif, .pdf).
Then i went into to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSExchangeWebOWA to verify that no entry was there for PDF and TIF file type, there was none.

I'm a bit in the dark with that one.

thanks !

There are no level 2 filetypes by default:

Are you looking in the right place - this key is on the users local machine, not the server.

Hi,

level 2 file type are activated when level1 is enabled. Level 1 were set at the local machine.. level 2 are
only residing on the exchange server.

Can you point to documentation that specifies this (I'm genuinely interested - I thought this was a client side setting and have several documents referring only to Outlook).

there is ms article : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP030850041033.aspx

If it is a setting only on client side, why do i get a prompt to save the file before opening it event after
the key level1remove as been added.. this is where i am confused.

thanks,

Ok,

Maybe some more info will help, i am using Outlook 2003 for exchange distributed with SBS2003.
In the security tab, i don't see anything related with file type.. is there something different with that version..

thanks,

James Montgomery

what about if you open regedit on your machine and browse to the keys mentioned?
