Exchange Client Registry Settings (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Exchange Client Catalog item uses settings in the registry to control interaction with Exchange Outlook Web Access (OWA) servers. Most of the settings relate to things that an OEM does not change.
For example, the registry settings contain things like the exact text that must be sent to an OWA server to retrieve contact information. Unless OWA changes, this text does not change. This section does not document settings of this type.
The %_WINCEROOT%\Public\VoIP\OAK\Phone\OWAExchangeClient\Engine\settings.cpp file contains code that abstracts accessing the registry, including all registry settings used by the Exchange Client Catalog item. You refer to this code for specific information about how the Exchange Client library uses the registry.
Note
The default registry values vary depending on which Catalog items are included in your OS design. For more information, see Default Registry Settings.
The amount and granularity of free/busy information retrieved by a request initiated using IExchangeClient::RequestFreeBusyData is controlled by the following settings in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OWAExchangeClient\HttpParams key.
For more information about how these settings affect the returned free/busy data, see IExchangeClientFreeBusyInformation::GetFreeBusyData.
| Value : type | Description |
|---|---|
FBSSearchLength : REG_SZ |
Default setting is 12. Controls the amount of data returned by specifying the number of hours of free/busy data returned by the OWA server. |
FBSInterval : REG_SZ |
Default setting is 15. Controls the granularity of data returned by specifying the number of minutes represented by each piece of free/busy data. Each digit in the returned string represents the free/busy status for the given time period. For example, if this setting is the default of 15 minutes, and the start time is 8am, piece N (starting at 0) is the free/busy value for the user at time 8am + N*15 minutes. This means that, say, piece 5 is the free/busy status from 9:15am-9:30am. |
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OWAExchangeClient\ParseParams key contains settings that define strings used when retrieving contact information. (It also contains a large set of values that aren't generally modified by an OEM.)
