XADM: How to Manually Add Code Pages for Mixed Languages

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0

SUMMARY

This article describes how to manually add codepages for languages not supported, by default, in Windows NT Server 3.51 in order to have the Microsoft Exchange Server to support Microsoft Exchange clients running on different language operating systems.

NOTE: Running English Microsoft Exchange clients on Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS) operating systems is not supported and not recommended by Microsoft because the English Microsoft Exchange clients are not enabled for DBCS operating systems and have not been tested on DBCS operating systems. This article is provided for non-DBCS operating systems.

Microsoft provides the tool, NLS Configuration Tool, which automates the process of configuring a Microsoft Exchange Server computer to support a variety of languages by installing all the codepage files. This tool is included in the Microsoft Exchange 4.0 Resource Kit which can be found on http://backoffice.microsoft.com/downtrial/default.asp?product=5 or the Microsoft TechNet compact disk.

MORE INFORMATION

To have a Microsoft Exchange Server running on Windows NT Server 3.51 to support Microsoft Exchange Clients running on different language operating systems, codepages for those languages need to be installed on the Microsoft Exchange Server computer. If these codepages are not installed on the Microsoft Exchange Server computer, the client will receive the following error message:

   The Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not configured to support your
   codepage, and can't logon to the Exchange Server.

1. Copy the codepage file to the %systemroot%\system32 directory as the file name <C_ANSI Codepage ID>.NLS, e.g. C_950.NLS

2. Start Regedt32.exe

3. Add a value under the registry key:

         \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage
   

   The value is:

         Value Name: the ANSI Codepage ID
         Data Type: REG_SZ
         String: the file name of this codepage file
   

4. Add a value under the registry key:

         \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language
   

   The value is:

          Value Name: the Windows Locale ID
          Data Type: REG_SZ
          String: l_intl.nls
