Exchange 2003 SP2 (KB 924334) update for S/MIME has been released

Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 has a new update going out to Microsoft Update and to downlevel WSUS servers. I think it is important to note that client action outlined below must happen to get the new SMIME control to the client's machine. There will be another update coming out soon (no specific date) that will address the client experience issue by alerting the user that the current SMIME control installed on the client is outdated.

Important Note

After this Hotfix is applied to the server, end users who have an S/MIME control installed on the client machines need to re-install the control from the Options dialog in OWA.
