BDR File Summary

The BDR File Extension has two different file types (mostly seen as the Exchange Non-Delivery Report Body File format) and can be opened with two distinctive software programs, with the dominant related application developed by Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Exchange Server software). The majority of BDR files are considered Text Files, but they can also be Uncommon Files.

Both desktop and mobile devices enable you to view and (sometimes) edit these files, depending on the software used. The Popularity Rating for BDR files is "Low", which means these files are not ordinarily found on an everyday user's device.

If you are having problems opening BDR files, or would simply like to learn more about the software programs and developers that are associated with them, please see the complete information contained below.

Issues Opening BDR Files

Microsoft Exchange Server Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open BDR Files" when trying to open your BDR. If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Exchange Server installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your BDR with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your BDR file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Microsoft Exchange Server is Out-of-Date

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Exchange Server won't support your Exchange Non-Delivery Report Body File file. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Investigate your BDR file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening BDR files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other BDR File Opening Causes

Even with the correct version of Microsoft Exchange Server installed, you can still experience difficulties opening BDRs. If you are continuing to have errors with loading BDR files, other external issues might be to blame. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • Windows Registry BDR file paths that are incorrect
  • Corruption of the BDR file description inside the Registry
  • Partial installation of Microsoft Exchange Server that did not fully complete
  • The BDR itself is corrupted
  • Your BDR has adversely impacted by malware
  • Drivers associated with BDR software need to be updated
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open Exchange Non-Delivery Report Body File files
