Server causing Outlook to periodically crash
Title: Message Hi EveryoneGreat way to start Friday...Running Exchange2ksp1 on win2ksp2 - Completed migration from Exchange 5.5 a few days ago and all seemed well. This morning several users have complained and it has happened to me that Outlook hangs on you. I have left it for some time and nothing happens, it just comes up as not responding - you close it down, open it again and it works just fine (this happens every few minutes to some of the users). We are using a mix of Outlook2K and Outlook2002. I have had a look through the logs on the Exchange box and can find nothing wrong, I have also increased the logging levels and still nothing. I have also rebooted the machine to no change. Being new to Exchange 2000 any ideas or comments would be great. thanks in advance. __RegardsSimon Taylor Senior Systems Administrator?

RE: one more try-how to gather exch container perms? and DNS mx failover-how?
Hi Pat 1. I do this manually, but I am sure some people have ways and means, you could also spend some money on some third party tools that will make it easier for you. 2. for your failover if you create your primary system in the dns with an mx cost of 10 then create one for your secondary system (mail relay of any sort) of 20. if system a is down then the system sending mail to you will try a connection to it and fail then automatically try the next one down and so on until it gets a connection. Then the system that ends up with the message will automatically try to send it itself, starting at the lowest cost mx record. It will also automatically try the next one if that is down and so on until it does a lookup and gets its own record back - it then know it should sit on this message and retry at a later stage. It will keep retrying until the message times out then generate an ndr. Oops I think I have rambled a bit much, but hope you get the idea. Basically it is very easy to get going and does not require you to configure very much.

Exch 5.5/SP 4 (other than manually?) 2) DNS mx records/failover...If a particular mail server which has lowest mx record cost is unavailable to take receipt of a message, would the IMS/sending email system (ie pix/sendmail) failover to a second mx record with a greater cost? How is this accomplished, if at all? It would have to be done at the IMS/sending system level, right? Perhaps the sending system times out, and looks for a second mx record?

RE: CA becoming more responsive
This morning I had an email from CA wanting my phone number to address my concerns. It appears that they are listening. However, it is too late for them to win us back as a customer. Our purchase orders have been issued for Backup Exec software for our new servers. My experience with CA has not been a happy one, but I really do hope that they can improve their product and support and provide a quality product in the future.

Problematic Server
I have been asked to look at a server that has been badly installed. It was an SBS 2000 server and yet other packages (VPOP Proxy + vnc Office 2000) had been installed on the system. I was asked in after a couple of my colleagues had used up a period of the time assigned for this task. Unfortunately I probably do not have the time to reinstall the system. Therefore I am trying to remove the component or offending parts install the SBS components. I have disbled the VPOP and proven that Exchange can download the mail and pop3 accounts. (Fine) Problem number 1 is I cant seem to get access to the mailbox from any client as it is throwing up the error The name could not be resolved. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list. The credentials (Username, logon name password and domain are correct) As an aside the existing Outlook 2000 clients that can access the accounts can not have the check name resolved if I try. Any ideas. Thanks in advance Tim Gilroy List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

Well, for what it is worth, I also got a call. Not from a techie or a VP, someone in Marketing.

RE: OWA in DMZ
I have an almost identical config here - with the exception of NT4 for the OWA box (don't have much win2k expertise and currently don't run any Exchange stuff on it). Otherwise I do use a 1-way trust from the DMZ, and the port bindings for the DS and IS on the Exchange box are 1225 and 1226 respectively. Those 2 ports and the SMB stuff (137, 138, 139) along with 135 (for the RPC stuff) are opened in this config. Have you opened the ports to the entire trusted segment, or only to specific servers? In our world, the only thing in the DMZ right now is the OWA box - it's kind of dedicated to OWA only, so blowing a few holes into the trusted from there for OWA doesn't make me too nervous. But as more services are added in the DMZ I think I will serioulsy consider the advice of several others on this list and move the OWA server within the trusted (443 coming in) and seal up the DMZ again. That seems to be the message that I hear more and more. just my 2c. randy. -Original Message- From: Dikeman, Bo [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: November 15, 2001 12:23 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OWA in DMZ Good Morning, Please forgive me if this question has already been answered, but I have searched high and low and still can't get things to click right. I am trying to get OWA to work in our DMZ, here is what I have: 1. Exchange 5.5 SP4 running on a W2k member server on the inside. 2. A WinNT 4.0 PDC on the same subnet with the Exchange server 3. A Cisco PIX w/DMZ card 4. A W2k DC (for the DMZ domain) w/OWA 5.5 SP4 in the DMZ There is a two-way trust between the domains for testing. This will eventually be a one-way trust where the DMZ domain trusts the production domain, but not vice versa. I have the following ports open for the OWA box: 53 TCP,UDP; 88 TCP, UDP; 123 TCP; 135 TCP; 389 TCP, UDP; 445 TCP; 3268 TCP; 137 UDP; 138 UDP; and 139 TCP. Oh, and 80. I opened all of these per Q articles that said to do so, but any of these that definitely do not need to be open please let me know. I have also bound NTDS on the w2k box to 1025 and that port (TCP and UDP) is open per Q280132. I have also bound the Exchange IS, DS, and SA to ports in the registry per q259240 and those three TCP ports open in the firewall. The clincher is everything works when the OWA box is on the inside. Once the OWA box is in the DMZ that is not the case. Whenever a user tries to log on to OWA in this situation, they get the hourglass for a couple of minutes and get the script time out error in IE. Also, I have seen a couple of Q articles recommending to set authentication to clear text in IIS, that is set.

Title: RE: Server causing Outlook to periodically crash Also try taking a look at your 5 FSMO roles and see if you've overloaded that system(assuming all roles are on 1 server).

Running Exchange2ksp1 on win2ksp2 - Completed migration from Exchange 5.5 a few days ago and all seemed well. This morning several users have complained and it has happened to me that Outlook hangs on you. I have left it for some time and nothing happens, it just comes up as not responding - you close it down, open it again and it works just fine (this happens every few minutes to some of the users). We are using a mix of Outlook2K and Outlook2002. I have had a look through the logs on the Exchange box and can find nothing wrong, I have also increased the logging levels and still nothing. I have also rebooted the machine to no change. Being new to Exchange 2000 any ideas or comments would be great. thanks in advance. __ Regards Simon Taylor Senior Systems Administrator ?

Exchange Operation 5.5 vs. 2000
I have a question, First here is the environment: 3 Exchange 5.5-SP3 Servers(Win2k SP2), this is the main e-mail environment. A sendmail server relays outgoing and incoming mail. Incoming mail is distributed to the appropriate exchange server by e-mail aliases for every address, pointing to the appropriate server for that address. The new piece is an Exchange 2000 server that eventually every mailbox will be migrated to. The AD is in mixed mode. Now here is the setup: Those sneaky Unix guys here have set up some of their own DL's on the Sendmail server. The e-mail addresses of the Sendmail DL's are in the same DNS domain(specifically: 'phcs.com') as the Exchange servers. So we come to the problem...we have moved a few users over to the new Exchange 2k server. When these users were on any of the 5.5 servers, they could send e-mail to one of the Sendmail DL's (eg.: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'). With their mailbox on the Exchange 2k server, sending to the sendmail DL's fails with an Unkown Recipient NDR back from the Exchange Server. It doesn't seem like a mystery to me why the Exchange 2k server won't send out of the site for an address that it treats as internal. But what I can't figure out is why the 5.5 servers will forward a message to the Sendmail server for an SMTP mail address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' when the IMS is configured to route all 'phcs.com' to inbound. The Senior guys that should know better than I have no clue either. I haven't been here long enough to know if the Exchange servers were somehow hacked to get this behavior. I already have a couple solutions to the problem, but what I'm really wondering is if this is proper behavior for Exchange 5.5 vs. 2000?

RE: CA becoming more responsive
That's their problem - once a customer becomes disenchanted and moves to a competitive product, and it works for them, and they get good support, it's hard to get them back. CA's underinvestment in support staff (and probably SW development) cost them a huge fraction of market share. I think it would have cost them a lot less to have invested in these areas before the customers left. Oh well, maybe they really get it now - it sounds like they are investing and trying to do it right.

RE: NTDSNoMatch and Migrating
Simon: Thanks for the info. Looks like NTDSNoMatch will do what I want then. I did some research for articles about the DN issue, but haven't found anything relevant. I agree that I think it will pick up a new DN--it doesn't look like the AD and EX5.5 DS even use the same attributes to store this value. Unfortunately, we don't have additional resources to set up a complete test environment. I'm thinking about setting up a test recipients container on our 5.5 server and creating some dummy mailboxes/accounts before installing the ADC (some with DNs that are off). Then, I can create a connection agreement there first before connecting our real recipients containers to make sure it will work the way I want it to. Would that be adequate? If I understand, it will only synchronize the directory objects that are currently contained in the EX5.5 recipients container that I specify. Is this true even if it is a two-way agreement? Also, have you (or anyone else) used the NTDS Contact setting (as opposed to NTDSNoMatch)? I have set this for our custom recipients to make sure they end up as contacts instead of mail-enabled users, but wondered about success/failures using this as well. I do get in early and was at least initially planning on moving mailboxes during the first hour of each day. Are there any calculations that can be done to estimate the amount of time it takes to move mailboxes based on their size, connection speed, etc? Thanks, Bonnie M. -Original Message- From: Simon Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 3:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: NTDSNoMatch and Migrating Hi Bonnie I have just completed this migration myself and have had a few small hitches. One or two of the mailboxes I had to migrate would not move at all (I was moving to new hardware), some of the mailboxes also caused the info store on the new server to die during migration (a bit of an issue if you plan to migrate in working hours). I fixed these easily by running eseutil on the old info store first to fix integrity. Other than that if you follow the document from MS on migration it should go just fine. (If it is a big site and you have the hardware available then I would do this all in a lab first as it is much easier the second time around) To answer your questions (or try at least) 1. When migrating old mailboxes which are used by people other that the name of the mailbox the ADC does create a disabled account (if you choose to) and then it also assigns the correct permissions to those mailboxes for the previous owner accounts. 2. I am pretty sure that it will pick up the new DN and not worry too much about the aliases - I would sort these out anyway in the quest for a nice tidy Exchange server, but that's just me grin Hope that helps. Cheers Simon -Original Message- From: Miller Bonnie L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 November 2001 17:43 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: NTDSNoMatch and Migrating Doing some cleanup work to prep for E2k migration (on a new win2k server) and I'm trying to understand something to hopefully get it right the first time. I've used NTDSAtrb to create csv files of the duplcate primary accounts on our EX 5.5 sp3 server (single server, single site). I've not reimported any csv data yet to populate Extension-Attribute-10. Haven't installed/run ADC, ForestPrep, nor DomainPrep yet. Questions: 1) If I choose to import to populate the NTDSNoMatch value, I think I know that ADC will create disabled (if I choose) user accounts in AD for these mailboxes when the ADC agreement is set up and the ADC will re-assign the primary account to the new account. But, will it also correctly re-assign the previous primary account as an owner on the Ex5.5 mailbox, or is this something I have to do manually? Are any delegate permissions affected? And, if permissions are correctly reassigned, do these permission stick when the mailbox is moved to the E2k server? If it doesn't do some of these things, seems like it would make sense for me to do these manually ahead of time as there are less than 20. 2) I've noticed that quite a few of our EX5.5 Directory Name values don't match the Alias Name and/or Primary Account name due to renames, from long ago. When the ADC looks to sync up, does it look at the DN, or does it use the account name (or alias name)? I think it would use the account name, but our previous EX5.5 admin thinks the different DNs could be a problem and that we might need to export to pst and reimport to a new mailbox for every account that is off so that the new DN matches somehow to AD.

Now we remove the profile from Outlook, I make that person a Domain Admin and he makes a new profile in Outlook 100% similar to the previous profile. But now when he hits the Add Mailbox everything works the way it should, i can even remove him from the Domain Admins group, it keeps working. When i make this person member of the group Administrators this does NOT work. So obviously we're dealing with a faulty security setting or police here. Ofcourse this solution is only temporary, on the Exchange2000 server something must be incorrect, I just don't know where to look anymore. I tried changing security settings on several objects within Exchange System Manager but i couldn't find anything there. Maybe i'm looking at the wrong picture here, but I was/am looking for some object that has different rights for Administrators and Domain Admins, if there is anybody out there that has a clue about what i am talking about, please help me!! thanks so much in advance List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

We had a problem last week where someone was relaying 1000s of messages through our mailserver which resulted in our ISPs postmaster getting 1000s of bounce messages. While I beleive that I have closed the relay our ISP won't unblock our mailbox until this is resolved. any help is greatly appreciated.

As another before has mentioned on this list, I begin to feel bad asking the person on the other end of the phone to repeat, and sometimes even SPELL what it is they are saying because the extremely heavy accent and lack of recognizable diction renders their efforts all but useless. -Original Message- From: Lefkovics, William [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 8:21 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: CA becoming more responsive Was that Michael Duncan?

Though I had been a vocal critic of CA's tech support in the past, even back when I was an SE, I thought I was a lightweight when it came to CA-bashing on this list. So I was surprised when I got a call from their VP/TS, especially since he was calling from the east coast. Anyway, let me just hit the high points for you ... I told him my main complaints with CA products (ARCserve Inoculan) were lack of real-time tech support, and the nightmare of RegIT. He agreed. Here are a few of the things he told me: - CA has relaxed their registration code, so that now it does not disable the service. - They have beefed up their support staff, with an office in India with 100 techies, and now 80%+ of their calls actually get answered by a real tech support person. Wow! I used to get the take a number, we'll call you back someday runaround. - Their knowledge base has been beefed up. I recall it used to be pretty thin. I haven't checked it out yet. Well, I was impressed that a high-level guy from CA is actually reaching out to customers and people in the industry, and trying to respond to criticisms. Maybe they have turned over a new leaf. I won't have the opportunity to really evaluate them as we are a Backup Exec / Sophos / Antigen shop, and being happy with these I'm not changing horses ... but maybe some of you out there will revisit CA products and give them a fresh chance.

Relaying - background?
Recently one of my users forwarded me a couple of NDR messages she got, containing stuff like recipient name is not recognized, 550, Relaying denied, user unknown. Our Exchange 5.5/SP3 server is not an open relay, and we are cool with all the ORDB ~ databases, FWIW. This got me wondering about how relaying really works. I know that incoming mail destined for addresses in our domain go to our server, identified by the MX record in our ISP's DNS tables. I know that outgoing mail from our server goes to a mail server at our ISP, which forwards it to other servers in the appropriate domains - but I don't know how our server knows which mail server at our ISP to send stuff to. Our IMS is set up to use DNS for message delivery, not to forward to a specific host. Another part I don't understand is how SPAM works - if our server was an open relay, how would a spammer send messages to our server, but have them addressed to recipients in a different domain? I.e. where is the separate information on mail server to send to and ultimate recipient? I've dug around some in Technet and various knowledge bases, but haven't been able to find any illuminating background on how relaying and spamming works. I'd love to read up on it, if anyone has a pointer to a relevant article. TIA have a nice weekend! Bob Peitzke List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

The client was Outlook 2000 so the Contacts if hard deleted should still be visible but they are not.

RE: Relaying - background?
Non open Relaying requires a user to login to the server, have an account on the server and have rights to that account. So only Joe can send email from Joe, when Joe is logged in as Joe. The other method is to restrict based on Ip so Joe can only send email if he lives on a 10.0.0.x ip range else he can't sent nothing. Open relay means the server does not care it will send anything from anyone. Joe can send messages from sally to anyone he wants to. The server is purely a MTA. Does that help?
