XWEB: DBCS Error Message Is Not Displayed Correctly in OWA or WebDAV (312997)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

This article was previously published under Q312997

SYMPTOMS

In Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack 2 (SP2), when you receive an error message in Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) or through Web Distributed Authoring Version (WebDAV), the error message may not be displayed correctly in a double-byte character set (DBCS) environment.

CAUSE

This problem is caused by Exchange 2000 Server SP2. OWA uses UTF-8 encoding to send the DBCS error message, but OWA does not send the character set (charset) information in the error message. This problem can occur if the Web browser displays the error message in another type of encoding, such as Shift-JIS.
