-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
A simple Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI) application passes a
Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS) string to the MAPI call MAPIResolveName().
MAPIResolveName fails when a two-byte DBCS character contains 0x5b or 0x5c as
one of its bytes.
CAUSE
=====
A supporting routine used by MAPIResolveName() was not written to properly
handle DBCS strings, and mistakenly interprets the bytes 0x5b and 0x5c as '['
and '\' respectively.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
