SUMMARY
=======
SYMPTOMS
========
When you are attempting to log on through Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) to
a Microsoft Exchange mailbox that contains double quote marks in the alias name,
such as "James", you may receive one of the following error messages:
Failed to connect to the Microsoft Exchange Server, <servername>
-or-
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site
http://<servername>/exchange/LogonFrm.asp?isnewwindow=0&mailbox=%22<user
name>%22.
The operation completed successfully.
CAUSE
=====
It is possible to create a mailbox alias that contains double quotes using the
Microsoft Exchange Administrator program. The Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft
Outlook clients are capable of opening a mailbox with this type of alias.
However, Outlook Web Access and Active Server Components do not support this and
will fail with one of the errors stated above.
