This problem is known to occur with the Microsoft Exchange client versions 4.0 and 5.0, and Microsoft Outlook 97, but the problem can occur with any e-mail client that only uses V1 certificates. CAUSE ===== When an e-mail client requests a certificate from a KM server, the server does not verify that the request is compatible with its current configuration. RESOLUTION ========== To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5.
