The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool reads the following registry entry to determine whether Microsoft Exchange Intelligent Message Filter is installed and enabled on the server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\Microsoft\Exchange\ContentFilter
The Exchange Server Analyzer reads the ContentFilterBindings value in the ContentFilter registry key to determine whether Intelligent Message Filter is installed and enabled on the server.
The Exchange Server Analyzer then queries the CIM_Datafile Microsoft Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) class to determine whether the Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) version of Intelligent Message Filter MSExchange.UceContentFilter.dll is in the following path on the Exchange Server:
<path to Exchange server binary files>\MSCFv1\MSExchange.UceContentFilter.dll
 Note: |

| In this path, <path to Exchange server binary files> refers to the location of the bin folder. |
