Can you open the default pages in the iis?

Do you install iis together with the exchange server in
the same machine? or separate machine ?

Or maybe you can first have a look on the following asp
which can be found in the iis's exchange virtual directory

computer or the Microsoft® Internet Information Server
(IIS) computer. If you do not have these rights, please
contact your administrator.

Server Configuration Checklist

This sections covers basic settings to ensure proper
configuration of the Outlook Web Access components on the
Exchange or IIS server. Before troubleshooting a specific
error message, you may wish to check this information for
items that may be missing from your installation.

    * The 'Log on Locally' right - Each Windows NT
account that will be accessing Exchange Server through
the Outlook Web Access client must have the Log on
Locally right assigned on the IIS server. The
administrator can assign this right to the Everyone group
or to specific groups if access restriction is needed. To
assign this right to an account, follow these steps:

         1. Start User Manager for Domains.

         2. Click User Rights on the Policies menu.

         3. In the Right list, click Log on Locally.

         4. Click the Add... button.

         5. In the Add Users and Groups dialog box, click
the Show Users button and choose one or more user or
group accounts from the Names list.

         6. Click the Add button and click OK when you
are finished.

         7. Click OK again and exit User Manager for
Domains.

      Note If the IIS computer is a Member server in a
Windows NT domain, you must grant the Log on locally
right to the appropriate Windows NT account using the
local computer's accounts database, not the domain's
accounts database. To do this, start User Manager for
Domains in one of the following ways before you grant the
Log on Locally right to the user account:

          o Log on to the IIS computer using the local
computer's Administrator account and start User Manager
for Domains.

          o If you are logged on to the IIS computer with
a domain account that is a member of the local
Administrator's group, start User Manager for Domains and
click Select Domain on the User menu. Enter the local
computer's name as \\<servername>.

          o Start User Manager for Domains using the
following command line

                  usrmgr \\<servername>

            where <servername> is the name of the IIS
computer. The end result is that the local computer's
name will appear in the title bar of User Manager for
Domains, instead of the domain name.

    * Password Authentication Methods - The WWW service
on the IIS server must be configured for the appropriate
password authentication method. This is dependent upon
how you intend to setup your Exchange and IIS servers. If
both Exchange and IIS are installed on the same computer,
you can use any of the three supported authentication
methods. If Exchange and IIS are on separate computers,
only Basic (Clear Text) and Anonymous can be used.
Windows NT Challenge/Response (also called NTLM)
authentication cannot be used if a browser other than
Internet Explorer will be used for Web Access. If you
plan on using Basic (Clear Text) authentication and you
wish to have a more secure environment, configure Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) support on the IIS server. For more
information about setting up SSL, see your IIS
documentation.

    * Required Components - The following components are
required for a successful installation of Outlook Web
Access:

          o Microsoft Windows NT 4.0

          o Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3)

          o Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)

                  Exchange 5.0 is only supported with IIS
3.0 (regardless of the service pack);
                  Exchange 5.5 is supported with IIS 3.0
or IIS 4.0.

          o Active Server Pages
                  ASP can be setup from the Windows NT
4.0 SP3 CD or you can download SP3 and the ASP components
from http://www.microsoft.com.

          o Active Server Components or Outlook Web
Access components
                  The Active Server Components are
included with Exchange 5.0. It is recommended that you
install Exchange 5.0 SP1 or Exchange 5.5, since they
include the enhanced Outlook Web Access components.

          o Internet Browser (Use one of the following):
                + Internet Explorer 3.02 with RFC1867.EXE
installed to allow attachments (available from
http://www.microsoft.com/ie)
                + Internet Explorer 4.0 or later
                + Latest version of any other third-party
Internet Browser software that supports frames, for
example, Netscape Navigator

    * The IUSR_<ServerName> Account - Make sure that the
IUSR_<ServerName> account has been assigned the Log on
Locally right on the IIS server. Also, make sure the
password for this account is the same in both User
Manager and the Internet Service Manager. These passwords
can be changed independently and differences will cause
access problems. By default, the IUSR_<ServerName>
account is given a random password when IIS is installed.

    * Setting Up Anonymous Access to Public Folders

      Use the following steps to set up anonymous access:
         1. On the Windows NT Start menu, click Programs.

         2. Select Microsoft Exchange, and then select
Microsoft Exchange Administrator.

         3. Select the server you are configuring, and
then open the Configuration container.

         4. Choose Protocols, and then double-click HTTP
(Web) Site Settings.

         5. Select the Allow anonymous users to access
the anonymous public folders check box.

         6. Click the Folder Shortcuts tab.

         7. Click New to add folders for anonymous
viewing, and select an existing folder in the Public
Folders dialog box.

         8. Click OK.

      Published folders must have at least Read
permission granted to the Anonymous account. This is set
in the Permissions tab for the specified folder. Folder
permissions can be accessed from either the Microsoft
Exchange Server Administrator program or from the client.
To verify the permissions, use the following steps:

         1. In the Microsoft Exchange Server
Administrator program, browse to find the public folder
for which you created a shortcut.

         2. On the File menu, click Properties.

         3. Click Client Permissions.

         4. In the box at the top of the Client
Permissions dialog box, select Anonymous, and change its
role from None to the desired level of access.

         5. If you want to publish all subfolders of this
folder for anonymous access, select the Propagate these
properties to all subfolders check box.

         6. Click OK.

Troubleshooting Error Messages
"Failed to Get Inbox" Error Message During Log On
One of the most common error messages you may receive
when you attempt to log on to a Microsoft Exchange
mailbox using the Outlook Web Access client is the Failed
to Get Inbox error message. Use the following steps to
troubleshoot this error:

   1. You may have typed the mailbox incorrectly. Try
entering the alias again.

   2. Confirm that the mailbox alias name does not
contain any spaces. If it does, rename the mailbox alias
by removing the spaces.

   3. If you are prompted for a user name and password,
enter the domain and user name in the NT Authentication
dialog box as <Domain>\<User Name>.

   4. Access another Web page to ensure that the browser
is not the problem.

   5. If you log on to a mailbox with one alias, log off
and then try to log on to another mailbox, the Failed to
Get Inbox error may occur because the browser has cached
the previous user's credentials. Close the browser and
try again.

   6. If you are logging in as an Anonymous user to
access public folders, verify that you have given
sufficient permissions for the Anonymous account to
access public folders.

   7. Log on to the mailbox from an Exchange or Outlook
client to verify that the mailbox is accessible. This may
determine whether there is a problem with mailbox
corruption or a problem specific to the Outlook Web
Access components.

   8. Try to log on from another computer. If this works,
the password file of the user on the original computer
may be corrupted if this is a Windows 95 system. Try
deleting your *.PWL file, log off, then log back in to
Windows 95. This will create a new *.PWL file.

   9. To ensure that the IIS server that you are
attempting to access your Exchange mailbox on is not the
problem, try connecting to the default page of that
server at http://>.

  10. Create a new mailbox and Windows NT account. Try
accessing this mailbox to ensure that there is no problem
with a specific user's account.

  11. Check the password authentication method being used
by the WWW service on the IIS server. To do this, follow
these steps:

         1. Open Internet Service Manager.

         2. double-click the WWW Service.

         3. Under Password Authentication, make sure that:

                * The Allow Anonymous check box is
selected.

                * The Basic (Clear Text) check box is
selected.

                * The Windows NT Challenge/Response check
box is not selected.

                  Note Windows NT Challenge/Response can
be enabled if the Web Server is on the same computer as
Exchange Server. The Basic (Clear Text) check box can be
cleared if you will only be using Internet Explorer and
your Web Server is on the same computer as Exchange
Server.

  12. If you are using NTLM authentication on the IIS
server, verify that the Do not use Proxy server for local
addresses option has been enabled on the client's Web
browser.

  13. If you are using NTLM authentication, verify that
you are logged on to the domain with the Windows NT
account that has permissions on the Exchange mailbox. If
the user can log on from the IIS computer but not from a
client workstation, then verify that the user has the Log
on locally right assigned on the IIS server.

      Note If the IIS computer is a Member server in a
Windows NT domain, you must grant the Log on locally
right to the appropriate Windows NT account using the
local computer's accounts database, not the domain's
accounts database. To do this, start User Manager for
Domains in one of the following ways before you grant the
Log on Locally right to the user account:

          * Log on to the IIS computer using the local
computer's Administrator account and start User Manager
for Domains.

          * If you are logged on to the IIS computer with
a domain account that is a member of the local
Administrator's group, start User Manager for Domains and
click Select Domain on the User menu. Enter the local
computer's name as \\<servername>.

          * Start User Manager for Domains using the
following command line

                  usrmgr \\<servername>

            where <servername> is the name of the IIS
computer. The end result is that the local computer's
name will appear in the title bar of User Manager for
Domains, instead of the domain name.

  14. If you are prompted with a dialog box requesting
the user name and password when logging on to the
mailbox, but you are still getting the "Failed to Get
Inbox" error message, then enable Allow Anonymous and
Basic (Clear Text) password authentication on the IIS
server through IIS Manager.

  15. Verify the home server of the mailbox. If you are
trying to log on to an Exchange Server computer other
than your home server, be sure to allow adequate time for
your mailbox to replicate to the server that you are
trying to log on to.

  16. Verify that you can log on to Exchange through a
Web browser located on the IIS server. If you are unable
to log on from the IIS computer, check for a problem in
that user's Windows NT account or password.

  17. If Exchange Server is on an NTFS partition, then
share it out with the same name and give Full Control
access to the Everyone group.

  18. If you are replicating directories between two
recently connected sites, you must ensure that no two
mailboxes contain the same alias name. If they do, you
must either rename or remove the duplicate alias.

Sorry! The Exchange Server Is Down or the HTTP Service
Has Been Disabled by an Administrator

This is another common error message that you may see
when you log on to a mailbox. The following steps can be
used to troubleshoot this error message:

   1. The HTTP protocol may be disabled. Open the
Microsoft Exchange Administrator program, select the
Protocols container, and open the HTTP (Web) Site
Settings object. Make sure that the Enable Protocol
option is selected. Open the properties for the mailbox
and click the Protocols tab. Select the HTTP protocol,
and then click Settings. Make sure that Enable HTTP for
this recipient (HTTP is enabled on this server) is
selected.

   2. Anonymous access may be disabled in LDAP. Open the
Exchange Administrator program, select the Protocols
object and open the LDAP (Directory) Site Defaults
object. Click the Anonymous tab and make sure that the
Allow anonymous access option is selected.

   3. This error may also occur if the Anonymous access
account defined in the DS Site Configuration object in
the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program does not
have Search permissions at the Configuration container
level. This Search feature is only available in Exchange
5.5 or later.

   4. Verify that the Microsoft Exchange Information
Store service on the Exchange Server computer is started.

   5. Verify that the MSExchangeWeb registry key shown
below contains the correct values for the Organization,
Site, and Server names of the Exchange Server computer to
which you are connecting. Open the Microsoft Exchange
Administrator program. Note the Organization, Site, and
Server names displayed for the server to which you are
connecting. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) on
Microsoft Exchange Server, select the following registry
key

            
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
            \MSExchangeWeb\Parameters

      and verify that the following values match:

          * Enterprise - Must match the Organization name.

          * Site - Must match the Site in which the
Server is located.

          * Server - Must match the Server to which you
are connecting.

      If any of the above values are incorrect, change
them to match the names displayed in the Exchange
Administrator. These values are not case sensitive.

   6. Verify that the IUSR_<ServerName> account has at
least Change permissions on the directory that contains
the temporary .mmp files. This directory is specified in
the following registry key:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft
            \Windows Messaging Subsystem\ProfileDirectory

      For more information about changing this key, see
the Failed to Connect to the Microsoft Exchange Server
<servername> error section.

Access Is Denied

When logging on and trying to enter authentication
credentials, you may be repeatedly prompted with NT
Authentication dialogs, or you may get the immediate
error message "Access is Denied". Try the steps described
below to troubleshoot this error message:

   1. The password may have been typed incorrectly.
Retype the password and double check the spelling, being
sure to check capitalization and so forth.

   2. The username may have been typed incorrectly.
Retype the user name, double checking capitalization, and
so forth. Use the <Domain>\<Username> format.

   3. You may not have the Log on Locally right on the
IIS server. To correct this, perform Step 1 in
the "Server Configuration Checklist" section at the
beginning of this document.

Failed to Connect to the Microsoft Exchange Server
<servername>

This is another error message you may receive when you
attempt to log on to a mailbox through the Outlook Web
Access client. Use the following checklist to
troubleshoot this error:

    * Check the permissions set on the <WINNT> directory
and all of its subdirectories. Also, check the
permissions on the <Exchsrvr>\Webdata and
<Exchsrvr>\Webtemp directories and all of their sub-
directories. If using Exchange Server version 5.0, the
<WINNT> directory and all of its subdirectories must have
CHANGE permissions set on them for the Domain Users
group. The <WINNT>\SYSTEM32 directory must have at least
READ permissions set for the Domain Users group.

    * When you use Microsoft Exchange Active Server
components to access information on a computer running
Microsoft Exchange Server, files with an .mmp extension
are created in your <WINNT> directory by default.
The .mmp file is a temporary file used by Active
Messaging to store certain profile information during the
active session. This file should be deleted after the
user logs off and the session is closed. Because these
files must be created dynamically, the Microsoft Internet
Information Server (IIS) Anonymous Log on account
IUSR_<ServerName> by default) needs to have CHANGE
permissions on the <WINNT> directory.

    * After you install Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
Service Pack 1, you can change the directory in which the
temporary .mmp files are created.

      Warning: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can
cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall
Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems
resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can
be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

      If the following registry key is present, the .mmp
files will be created there instead of in the <WINNT>
directory:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
Messaging Subsystem

      To create this registry entry, perform the
following steps:

         1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and go
to the following key:

                  
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Messaging
Subsystem

         2. On the Edit menu, click Add Value and type
the following values:

                o Value Name: ProfileDirectory
                o Data Type: REG_SZ
                o Value Data: Path to the directory in
which the temporary files are created.

                  For example: C:\WEBTEMP)

            If the registry value is not present,
the .mmp files are created in the <WINNT> directory.

            Note The IIS Anonymous Log on account
(IUSR_<ServerName> by default) must have CHANGE
permissions for the directory specified for
ProfileDirectory.

            If using Exchange Server version 5.0 SP1 or
higher, verify that the <WINNT> directory and all of its
subdirectories have at least READ permissions set on them
for Domain Users group. Verify that the <WINNT>\System32
directory has at least READ permissions set for the
Domain User group. If you are using Exchange Server
version 5.5 or higher, no special permissions have to be
set on the <WINNT> directory.

            You may need to change the permissions on the
Exchsrvr\Webdata directory and all of its sub-directories
to READ. Verify too that the Exchsrvr\Webtemp directory
and all of its sub-directories are set to CHANGE.

VBScript Error Accessing Outlook Web Access Server

You may receive the following VBScript error on your Web
Browser when you attempt to connect using Outlook Web
Access. The script name and line number may not be
identical, but the error code will remain the same.

      Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a03e3'
      Unknown runtime error
      /exchange/USA/lib/session.inc, line 300

This error may have more than one cause. To confirm the
cause, check the following:

    * Anonymous access is not enabled on the LDAP
protocol in the Exchange Administrator program and/or the
anonymous account has not been assigned the correct
permissions. Trying to connect to a mailbox that either
doesn&#25264; exist or no longer exists will generate this
error. Verify the mailbox alias to which you are trying
to connect.

    * Open the Exchange Administrator program to check
the LDAP protocol and anonymous account permissions. View
the properties of the LDAP protocol and ensure that Allow
Anonymous is checked. View also the properties of the DS
Site Configuration container and ensure the account
designated for the anonymous access is correct and that
the password for this account is correct. (Note that the
IUSR_<ServerName> account is normally used for anonymous
access, however it is possible to use a different account
name.)

    * View the properties of the Configuration container
and click the Permissions tab. Ensure that the
IUSR_<ServerName> or anonymous account has Search
permissions.

If changes are made to any of the above, you must stop
and restart the World Wide Web Publishing service (WWW)
through Control Panel Services or through IIS Manager.

This runtime error message can also occur when the server
is very busy or when you try to connect to a mailbox that
doesn't exist, but is authenticated as a real user. Also,
this problem may occur if the incoming message is larger
than the input buffer of the Internet Web Browser
(usually around 16 KB). A hotfix for this problem is
available.

Note: This should only be used in specific cases where
installation of the hotfix is warranted. This hotfix is
only for use with Exchange Server and IIS version 3.0.
The hotfix is available on the Microsoft anonymous FTP
server site
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/IIS/iis-
public/fixes/usa/ASP/asp-memfix/.

When you log in anonymously, you see no public folders or
get "Unable to get published folder list"

    * Verify that the IIS server's WWW service is running
and handling ASP requests. This can be done by running
some of the sample scripts available with IIS.

    * If no public folders are published, go to the
Microsoft Exchange Administrator program to confirm that
the HTTP protocol is enabled and allows anonymous access
to public folders. Use the following steps to confirm
whether the protocol is enabled:

         1. Open the Exchange Administrator program.

         2. Open the Protocols object.

         3. Double-click HTTP and click the General tab.
Click the Folder Shortcuts tab. Verify that the folders
for anonymous access are available in the Public Folder
Shortcuts list.

         4. Note: Including only the Public Folder tree
object will not provide anonymous access to any of the
top level public folders.

    * Verify that access permissions for the folder are
correctly set. Make sure that the default permissions for
the anonymous account are set to a minimum of Reviewer.

    * Verify that the Public Folders you are trying to
open are available from the Microsoft Exchange or Outlook
client. This should ensure that the public folder is
accessible.

    * Set up a test folder, add it to the list of public
folders, and assign the appropriate permissions. Remember
to exit and restart the browser before you attempt to
access the test public folder.

    * Make sure that the IUSR_<ServerName> account has
Log on Locally rights on the IIS server.

    * Make sure that the IUSR_<ServerName> account's
password in User Manager is the same as in the Internet
Service Manager.

    * Check to ensure that the Guest account on Exchange
Server has not been disabled. Perform these steps to
confirm the information:

         1. In Exchange Server, select User Manager for
Domains.
         2. Select the Guest account and double-click to
view the properties.
         3. Make sure that Account Disabled check box is
cleared (not selected).

Unable to Render View 424Object Required

This error message will occur if some of the Outlook Web
Access files located on the Microsoft Exchange Server
computer are corrupted or missing.

To correct this behavior, remove and reinstall the
Outlook Web Access components from the Microsoft Exchange
Server computer using the following steps:

   1. Back up the \Exchsrvr\Webdata directory on the
Microsoft Exchange Server computer.

   2. Run the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program and
choose the Add/Remove option.

   3. Cancel the selection of the Outlook Web Access
component and continue with the Setup program to remove
the Outlook Web Access component.

   4. Delete the \Webdata directory.

   5. Run the Setup program again and select the Outlook
Web Access component.

   6. Continue with the Setup program to perform a clean
installation of the Outlook Web Access components.

VBScript Runtime Error '800A01A8' Object
Required: 'Application (...)' \exchange\USA\logon.asp,
Line12

This runtime error may be caused by file corruption in
the Exchange Active Server Components. A failed
installation followed by a successful installation can
also cause the errors. The failed installation can cause
the reinstallation process to not proceed as expected.

Occasionally, when you try to remove the Active Server
Components (ASC) from Exchange Server Setup using
Add/Remove, the check box for this option cannot be
cleared. You may not be able to uninstall just the Active
Server Components option by using Add/Remove.

Modifying the related registry key will allow the ASC to
be reinstalled. To make the correct modification, locate
the following registry key

      
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup

and remove the String Value Web Connector from the key.
This action will clear the ASC option from the Exchange
Server CD Setup program. You should then be able to
reinstall the ASC option.

HTTP Error 401 401.1 Unauthorized: Log On Failed

This error will occur when you try to access your mailbox
through the active server logon page if Internet
Information Server (IIS) version 4.0 has been installed
on a Microsoft Exchange 5.0 Web Access Server. Exchange
Server version 5.0 Web Access is not supported with IIS
version 4.0. The only alternative in this situation is to
remove IIS version 4.0 and reinstall IIS verison 3.0.

Server and Registry Settings

Setting the Session Timeout

Use the following steps to set timeout values:

   1. Open the Exchsrvr\webdata\<lang>\lib\logon.inc file
using a text editor such as Notepad.

   2. Search for the Session.Timeout string. The first
occurrence is for authenticated access and the default
value is 60 minutes. The second occurrence is for
anonymous access and the default value is 20 minutes.

   3. Change either or both of the values as appropriate
to your situation.

The MSExchangeWeb Registry Key

The Outlook Web Access settings are stored in the
following registry key on the IIS server:

      
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExc
hangeWeb

This registry key has four subkeys: AcceptLanguage,
Applications, Parameters, and Performance.

    * AcceptLanguage

      Contains subkeys for all possible accepted
languages and a default key. Every key points to United
States settings by default unless you are running JPN,
FRN, or GER setup, in which case the key for that

Installing Internet Explorer 4.0 After Installing
Microsoft Exchange Server
In many cases, you may wish to install IE 4.0 on your
Exchange Outlook Web Access Server for troubleshooting
and setup. If you need to run Internet Explorer and
Microsoft Exchange Server on the same computer, it is
strongly recommended that you install Internet Explorer
4.0 before installing Microsoft Exchange Server. If you
install Internet Explorer 4.0 after installing Microsoft
Exchange Server, Internet Explorer modifies the
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) registry
database. This results in problems for international
mail, especially mail with double-byte character content.
If you installed Internet Explorer 4.0 after installing
Microsoft Exchange Server, complete the following
procedure to correct this problem. You can perform these
steps without stopping any Microsoft Exchange Server
services.

Note This procedure is not required if you installed
Internet Explorer 4.0 before you installed Microsoft
Exchange Server.

   1. Copy the Reset.inf file in the
Server\Support\Mimedb directory from the Microsoft
Exchange Server compact disc to a local hard disk.

   2. Right-click the file name and click Install.

Web Browser Exception Errors When Using 128-bit SSL
Authentication

When 128-bit SSL authentication is turned on for IIS,
some Web browsers, such as Internet Explorer versions
earlier than 3.02, build 1310, can quit because an
exception error occurs when users access Web documents
using Microsoft Outlook Web Access.

To eliminate these types of Web browser exception errors,
you can add the following registry key to the IIS
computer:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001
\Services\w3svc\asp\parameters\BufferingOn=1

Note The above registry key is one path; it has been
wrapped for readability.

This turns buffering on for the IIS computer. When
buffering is turned on, Active Server Pages are parsed
completely before any data is sent to Web browsers.
Buffering is off for servers by default.

In addition to modifying the registry, users can also
control buffering on a per-page basis by inserting <%
Response.Buffer = TRUE %> at the top of a page.

Caution With buffering turned on, more server memory is
used to parse Active Server Pages and server performance
is slower. Be sure to monitor the server to evaluate the
impact of buffering on server performance. You may need
to upgrade the server's processor or memory to maintain
optimum performance.

For optimum performance of Outlook Web Access when using
128-bit SSL authentication, consider upgrading your
users' Web browsers to versions which have the enhanced
ability to handle 128-bit SSL authentication. Internet
Explorer 3.02, build 1310 and later versions have
enhanced 128-bit SSL authentication capability. For more
information about obtaining the latest version of
Internet Explorer, use your Web browser to visit

Installing Microsoft Outlook Version 8.03 on a Microsoft
Exchange Server Version 5.5 Computer

If you install Outlook 8.03 on a Microsoft Exchange
Server 5.5 computer, Outlook Web Access does not perform
as expected. To solve this problem, run Regsvr32a.exe
after installing Outlook. This utility resets the
affected registry settings by re-registering Cdo.dll. You
can download Regsvr32a.exe from the Microsoft Web site at:

      
http://premium.microsoft.com/support/downloads/dp2439.asp.

Run Regsvr32.exe from the command line using the full
path to Cdo.dll as the argument. For example, the
following command changes the registry settings by re-
registering Cdo.dll

      regsvr32.exe systemroot\system32\cdo.dll

where systemroot is your Windows NT directory.
