Kurt... Thanks for sharing your experience with this issue. As far as I can tell it's a trust issue. By default IE won't install a control from an IP that is not in its trusted list. I have given the employees instructions to add the server IP to their home computer's Trusted Sites list in IE. That works, but I can't have them doing that on every public computer they try to use for a quick email check. Besides, if the public computer is properly hardened they shouldn't be able to make that type of change anyway (IMHO).
BTW, you're fortunate to have that much control over what programs are used... good for you. :-) Roger -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 9:45 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Using OWA on a public computer I've run into this problem - you can view emails, but when composing a new email, or replying to one, it won't let you type anything. This was, in my case, unrelated to S/MIME, and IE7 was asking to install an editing control. My workaround? Use Firefox. Give them the version from www.portableapps.com on a USB stick, and it works like a champ. Not sure what is causing this, as it's only happening on my AU office's server, not in the US. Weird.
