XCLN: Identifying Exportable Client Versions

• Microsoft Exchange MS-DOS client, versions 4.0, 5.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0
• Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Exchange version 4.0, the Microsoft Exchange client does not display which version of the client (US, French, German, International, and so forth) is installed. This makes assessing whether the installed client complies with current US export law (regarding encryption methods) more difficult.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange clients, version 4.0, listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION

Once the service pack is applied, you can view the currently installed version by clicking the Tools menu, clicking Options, and clicking the Security tab. It will be reported as either the "North American version" or the "International version".
