  Q256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry

SUMMARY
=======

Because of French encryption regulations, Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5
Key Management server (KM server) advanced security was previously unavailable
in France, so the installation program did not install KM server.
Encryption-based security was also disabled in Exchange Server clients, such as
Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000, if they were used in France.

As a result of government approval of Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 KM server
advanced security (and Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000 clients encryption-based
security) for distribution and use in France, a new Microsoft Exchange Server
5.5 installation program is available that installs KM server in France. For
Exchange Server clients (Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000), you must activate
encryption-based security through the application of a security patch.
