Chad,

Can you provide more details on exactly the setting you misconfigured and
are trying to correct with the CMW?

thanks,

Chad,

If these options are grayed out, are you sure you are not setting them via
system policy? Can you check the following reg key path:

hkcu\software\policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Options

for the following:

DisableHTTP
DisableExchange
DisablePOP3
DisableIMAP
DisableOtherTypes

Also, check the following reg key path:

hkcu\software\policies\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider

for the following:

Allow Full OAB Prompt

This might explain why the .cmw file is not making any changes.

The options are not in the registry and they are not set in policy as I have not touched the policies.

The changes seem to work against windows XP machines but not Windows 2000. HELP if possible
