XCLN: Exchange Clients Get No Results Querying the Exchange Server 5.5 Information Store on BCC Address Properties

ID: Q248234

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
on the following platforms: Alpha, NT

SYMPTOMS

If you use a Microsoft Exchange Client to query the information store on Bcc address properties, the query does not yield any results. This is expected behavior, unless you view items that are in the Sent Items folder on the information store, or any other "pre-send" messages, such as drafts or messages that are moved from the Sent Items folder to other folders. Exchange Server 5.5 does not provide results for a query if the query is based on the Bcc address property.

CAUSE

This behavior was originally implemented based on overly stringent security decisions.

RESOLUTION

A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 service pack that contains this fix.
