I just tried again but the column does not show any values in the SCL
column. I've seen several posts on the Internet that this broke after one
of the betas or release candidates of Outloook 2007. Any one checking SCLs
on their messages? I was wondering if I could just use a script and an ODBC
connection to Outlook to determine the SCLs.

Don't have that combination (Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2007) to test, but I've
tested this in the past and it has worked.

Also been tested by Serdar as shown in this response (and screenshot):

Bharat, ok, thanks for your input. I found this post where some other
individuals had trouble with this.
http://office-outlook.com/outlook-forum/index.php/m/4725#msg_472 I've done
tis SCL.CFG trick several times on a few different mailboxes with no
troubles, so I really don't believe it is user error. I'm wondering if this
could have broke during development of Outlook 2007 because the changes in
SCLs in Exchange 2007 necessiated the change? Being a MVP, would you know
anyone that still likes using Exchange 2003 that you could bounce this off.

Is there anyone out there that is successfully using the SCL.CFG to view
SCLs generated by Exchange Server 2003 in Outlook 2007? If so, I'd sure
appreciate a hand. I'm running Vista Enterprise 64-bit but I didn't have
luck with Outlook 2007 on Windows XP SP2 either. Is there anyone using
another method to expose these Exchange 2003 SCLs? Maybe something that
would expose the SCL column for all my customers without all this work?

Oh, time to get ready for the season premiere of Lost!

Thanks,
Bill

Alright, today was a snow day so I was able to work from home on this
SCL-viewing issue. I found IvaSoft's ShowSCL for MS Exchange 2003
(http://www.ivasoft.biz/showscl.shtml). I installed it on my Exchange
backend server and now I have the SCLs on new messages. Works great. I
would have rather not installed anything on the server because of unattended
consequences but it appears to be working quite well. Knock on wood!
