The Microsoft Exchange Resource Kit includes an extension called the Server Space Client Extension Tool. The Microsoft Exchange Server Tools Help file contains incorrect instructions for installing this extension for a Microsoft Exchange client running on the Windows 95 platform. The instructions also imply that a 16-bit version of the extension is available, which is incorrect. This extension is only available for 32-bit clients running on Windows 95 or Windows NT platforms.

Use the following steps to correctly install the Server Space Client Extension Tool for Windows 95 clients:

Installation for Windows 95 Clients

1. From the Exchange\Win95\Client\Srvspace directory on the Microsoft BackOffice Resource Kit: Part Two CD, copy Spcext32.dll to the Exchange directory on your computer.



2. Start the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and select the following registry key:

   
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions 




3. On the Edit menu, select New, and then select String Value.



4. Enter the following string for the Value name:

   Server Space




5. On the Edit menu, select Modify and enter the following string into the Value data field:

   4.0;<drive>:\<path>\spcext32.dll;1;01010000000000

   ...where <drive> and <path> are the drive letter and directory to which Spcext32.dll was copied. As an example, assume that the file is located in the C:\Exchange directory. This entry would appear as follows:

   
         4.0;c:\exchange\spcext32.dll;1;01010000000000 




6. Close the Registry Editor.



7. Restart the Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook client.
