I was at a client’s office when I started Outlook 2003 to configure a new email account. I received the following error:

Error in registry for extension “Exchange Extensions;?”. The syntax or format of the registry entry is incorrect. Check the registry settings and compare the registry for this extension to the other extensions in the registry.

WHAT!?!? What is that? So, I decided to go into the Add-In manager and Com Add ins (you get here by going into ‘Tools’ -> ‘Options’ -> ‘Other’ Tab -> ‘AdvancedOptions’ Button). I checked and unchecked stuff. Still got the error.

Until I thought… “GOOGLE IT DORK”. So, I did and came across the MS article and here is the solution:

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1.Quit Outlook 2003.

2.Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

3.Locate and then select the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions

4. Right-click Exchange Extensions, and then click Modify.

5. Delete the value that is in the Value data box, and then type the following value in the Value data box:
4.0;emsuix32.dll;7;011111111111110;1111011100

6. Click OK to close the Edit String dialog box.

7. On the File menu, click Exit.

Sweet!!
