The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry to determine if the default maximum number of attachments per message submission has been changed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem\MaxObjsPerMapiSession\objtAttachment
If the Exchange Server Analyzer finds the objtAttachment registry value present and configured with any value other than is displayed in the table below, a non-default configuration message is displayed.
| Entry | Exchange Server 2003 RTM Default Value | Exchange Server 2003 SP1 and Later Default value | Exchange Server 2007 Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
|
objtAttachment |
100 |
500 |
500 |
When manually added and configured, the objtAttachment registry value determines the maximum number of attachments per message submission per MAPI client. When a MAPI client attempts to send a message with more than the allowed number of attachments, the following event is logged in the application event log on the Exchange Server computer that contains the client's mailbox:
|
Event Type: |
Error |
|
Event ID: |
9646 |
|
Event Source: |
MSExchangeIS |
|
Event Category: |
General |
|
Description: |
Closing Mapi session "/o=OrganizationName/ou=AdministrativeGroupName/cn=Recipients/cn=UserName" because it exceeded the maximum of xxx objects of type "objtAttachment". |
The objtAttachment registry value represents a configuration opportunity that provides the administrator with a greater level of control over the Exchange Server resources used by MAPI clients.

To revert to the
default configuration
-
Open a registry editor, such as Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.
-
Navigate to:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem\MaxObjsPerMapiSession.
-
Delete the objtAttachment registry value.

Close the registry editor and restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service for the change to take effect.
Alternatively, if you wish to make use of the objtAttachment registry value, instead of deleting it, keep it set to its existing value or adjust it as needed.
