Notes: - You are not supposed to install Microsoft Outlook on the same machine as the Exchange server. Since the CSX System Manager requires Outlook, do not install the CSX System Manager on the Exchange server machine either.
- Make sure that workstations running the CSX System Manager use the same locale settings as your Exchange servers. Generally, the CSX System Manager works in a heterogeneous environment, but it is none the less possible that certain characters cannot be displayed.
- The font Microsoft Sans Serif must be installed on workstations running the CSX System Manager. This is a standard font that is usually there unless you have removed it.
- The Input Method Editor (IME) does not work on property pages of the CSX System Manager. You can circumvent this problem by typing the required characters in another editor, such as Notepad, and then copying them into the fields on the property pages.
