How to View the Message Store Configuration for S/MIME Signatures

 

This topic explains how to view the Exchange message store configuration for S/MIME Signatures.

Because S/MIME support is enabled by default and it is not recommended that you change this setting, there is no need to make any configuration change on the message stores for S/MIME. However, if you want to visually confirm that the Exchange store is configured to support S/MIME signatures, perform the following steps.

Before You Begin

Either at the console or through a terminal session, log on using an account that is a member of both of the following:

  • The Administrators group on the local computer.

  • A group to which at least the Exchange View Only Administrators role has been applied at the Administrative Group level.

Procedure

To view the message store configuration for S/MIME signatures

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.

  2. Click Administrative Groups, click Administrative Group, click Servers, click servername, click Storage Group, right click either the Mailbox Store or the Public Folder Store, and then click Properties.

  3. On the properties page, verify that the Clients support S/MIME signatures check box is selected.
