Adding Xtender Search inside Outlook Web Access

Question

Hello Everyone, Just hit a brick wall when it comes to Editing ASP pages for Outlook Web Access, We Use Exchange Server 2003 + SP2 and Email Xtender 4.81, we have 2 Front End Servers and about 12 Backends,(we run Windows 2003 Std R2 32-bit) I had a look at the KB Article ID ESG56363 Here's what it says Goal: Use EmailXtender with Exchange Outlook Web Access (OWA) Fact: Web Access Fact: Outlook Fact: EmailXtender Fix: The Web Client can be started from Exchange-OWA my modifying a OWA Active Server Page. This allows the Web Client to be launched directly from OWA, in a new browser window. Information To add an icon to the OWA Navigation Bar that launches the Web Client, edit the Active Server Page that displays the Navigation Bar. This page is named nbinbox.asp, and by default is located in the directory \exchsrvr\webdata\usa
avbar. You can use FrontPage or any HTML editor that supports Active Server Pages. Append a row to the bottom of the table. Insert the bitmap of your choice, and an explanatory text label into the new row. Users will click on this bitmap to launch the Web Client. Link the new bitmap and text to http://EXServerName/emailxtender, and configure the link to open in a new window. It seems straight forward as to what to edit, but Using Exchange 2003, there is no exchsrvr\webdata\usa
avbar and nbinbox.asp You can see where I'm stuck, I don't know which .ASP or .JS page to edit to implement the Search Icon, Would some body be kind enough to show me which one or even better an Example one Cheers -Mik Oops Forgot to Add, I've done a Forum Search

Hi Mik,not to sure how to tell you: But the documentation isn't going to help you! Exchange 2003 isn't working with asp-pages anymore (except login-/logoff).First of all, the OWA location of E2K3 is under *\Exchsrvr\exchweb\.- You'll have different web folders according to the Exchange patch level (your folders 6.5.xxxx.x) and here the folder controls... -> These are the OWA controls and create your reply/forward and all the buttons in OWA.- The bin folder holds the login/logoff pages in asp.So, when adding items to OWA you would need to change files in 'controls', normally under 6.5.xxxx.x). -> I know other applications integrating with OWA do it this way.To me, the instructions look like Exchange 5.5. Honestly, the instructions given in EX admin or install guides for either Exchange or Domino lack the knowledge of the mail systems or are sometimes very outdated.I would recommend requesting help from EMC with this... Perhaps they have better information or you try a Exchange community. :-SGood luck, Jochen.
