Owa

[numnutz]

Has anyone ever seen an issue with office 2007 and 2010 documents when sent as an attachment through OWA. When you attempt to open the file / download the file it saves with a zip extension? I can not find anything on this but I have seen it happen first hand happens on XP machines and Windows 7. Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks

A known issue exists between Outlook Web Access and .docx file attachments (documents created in MS Word 2007 or 2010). To save and open a .docx in Outlook Web Access, you can do the following:

Clear the Internet Explorer cache by going to Tools - Delete Browing History. When the Delete Browsing History box opens, click Delete. Let the process run until the history is clear.
Close Internet Explorer, then restart it.
Go to Tools - Internet Options and click on the Security Tab. Next, click on the Trusted Sites icon and then on the button to the right labeled "Sites".
Add the owa site as a trusted site by typing https://<site>/owa into the box labeled "Add this website to the zone". After you enter the address, click Add, then click Close. Click OK to exit Internet Options.
Go to the owa site at https://<site>/owa and you will be prompted to accept entrance to a secure site. Accept the option and log into owa.
When you choose "Save As Target" for your .docx attachment, you will have the option to save it as a Microsoft Word document.

thanks for your reply,

I actually just found this on a google



Cause:The portion of Exchange that converts the outlook MAPI message to the OWA readable MIME message does not know about the new office2007 file formats.

Fix:Add the Office 2007 content types to Exchange so that the conversion process knows about them. This is done through the Exchange System Manager. Each of the content types is a string, and then has a file extension associated with it. You will add the string and the associated file extension to ESM like this:

1. Open ESM.
2. Expand the Global Setting Branch
3. Right Click on Internet Message Formats and choose Properties. This brings up the current list of known MIME content types.
4. You might want to peruse the list at this point and confirm that the office document extensions are not in the list. For example, lets use docx as the extension we are adding for this test. You look and confirm that docx is not already in the list.
5. Click the Add button. CAREFULLY copy and paste the MIME type into the provided textbox (no leading or trailing spaces), and then enter docx in the extension checkbox.
6. OK out of all the dialogs
7. Restart the Information Store Service to ensure that store gets the new list.
8. Restart outlook if it was open and send a new test email with a docx file. Also for comparison sake send a mail with the same attachment using OWA.
9. Use OWA to read both messages sent in step 8. Confirm that the attachment behavior is the same.
