Our virus protection software deleted all .js attachments in the schema-root/microsoft/exchangev1/exchweb/controls folder. Now OWA does not work any more.

Do you have a hint how the attachments can be re-created without a repair install of Exchange ?

Thanks !

Does the Message Size Limit registry key go by bytes, kb, or mb?

PS - this should be in a KB article! I've been manually editing these folders for years. In a large environment, going through all the OWAScratchPad folders is a real pain. ;)

You can, and I recommend it, as it will get reset otherwise.

Yes, you can set that in the registry, and I recommend it as it will be reset the next time the store starts if you don't.

You write, "The size of OWAScratchPad is always reset to 1mb at EXOLEDB initialization if the registry key "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeWeb\OWA", a REG_DWORD value "Message Size Limit" is not set." Can I set this key to a value, say 10MB, so that the OWAScratchPad defaults to 10MB instead of 1MB? I'm having to manually edit the OWAScratchPad for each of my Exchange servers after they're built.
