SUMMARY

The enrollment message sent by a Microsoft Exchange Server does not include information regarding setup instructions for Outlook 2001 for Mac. This article explains the steps that are needed to change an enrollment message with Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 to accommodate Outlook 2001 for Mac.

MORE INFORMATION

If you choose to distribute enrollment tokens to users with messages, Key Management Server (KMS) sends a default message. You can customize this default message to send instructions or general security information specific to your organization.

NOTE: The default message includes %TOKEN%, which is a placeholder for the actual token that is sent to the enrolling user. You can remove the placeholder so that the actual token is not sent in the message (it is received from an administrator). Without the token, you can use the message to deliver customized information to enrolling users. This information can include any special notices or instructions specific to your organization that you may want Advanced Security users to have.

  5. In Key Management Properties, click the Enrollment tab, click to select the Send Token in an E-mail check box, and then click Customize Message.
