RE: Clustering Exchange
Funny you should mention Marathon Technologies, I went to a briefing this week about their kit, it looks very interesting if expensive. I have two main complaints about Windows Clustering one, the length of time it takes to dismount and remount the store between nodes is likely to cause time outs with Outlook so effecting the user. Secondly, MS clustering only protects the OS, if you get a corruption of the IS then clustering will not help you. In my experience a clustered solution can just introduce more problems and be more complex to administer then it gives in return. I would be interested to hear more about your experiences of Marathon, how many users do you have on the setup? How long does the failover take from original machine to new machine? Are their any gotchas with running this setup?

RE: Public folder limits
This is what we do: (ask for the script if you need it) We have an event script attached to the PF which will fire when a message is added. The Event script adds the current message size to the size of the PF and if it exceeds the size limit set in the Issue Warning Storage Limit (MDB-Storage-Quota), returns a message to the sender. The normal this PF has exceeded... warning message will also be generated, which fits our needs in this context.

RE: License Question
Title: Message I would TEND to agree with you, but I'm no MS Licensing guru (why should I understand what MS cant?) But since most people buy per seat, they have the CAL already. That would be my case. However, as for Exch, it is not per WS, it is per user. You have a CAL for each person who will be accessing the server (20 users and 1,10 or 100mailboxes per user = 20 CALs). Not per mailbox. So yes, even for those OWA'ing from home must have a CAL. This is why you dont see ISP's using Exch. If that is what you are looking at, check out SendMail or IMail or something. Please be sure to verify this with your MS rep and get it in writing. -Original Message-From: Ropiak Steve - NAO Florence Office Exchange and Bar Code Admn.

So - you need a Win2K/NT4.0 CAL per user or per workstation (per server or per seat mode), then you need an Exchange 5.5 CAL per workstation (including home machines if they use OWA to authenticate). There was some academicvolume licensing in 5.5 where they licensed Exchange per user instead of per workstation. Your best bet is to check out the license agreement your purchased under.

When I look at the security logs, it shows that they attenuated just fine, there are no other errors, they just keep getting the login screen again and again.

Please, spare us from Policy Patrol!
Starting at the 6th paragraph, read about how Red Earth's Policy Patrol is the Mother Of All Disclaimer Software http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/23732.html: Now, if that corporate caveat really rattled your cage, there's more bad news. In a move that has a ring of horrible inevitability about it, US company Red Earth Software has released Policy Patrol. Apparently, this NEW DISCLAIMER SOFTWARE IMPROVES EFFECT OF DISCLAIMER NOTICE (their caps, btw), offering advanced disclaimer functionality such as user-based disclaimers, formatting and merge fields. These features increase the relevancy of disclaimers and thus improve their efficacy. But how, you gasp, is this possible? Well, Policy Patrol allows companies to add more specific disclaimer notices by offering user-based and context sensitive disclaimers. The user-based disclaimer functionality enables companies to adjust statements according to a particular user or department, therefore increasing the relevance of the disclaimer. Magnus Andersson, technical director of Red Earth Software, continues: We designed Policy Patrol because the current offer of disclaimer functionality is very basic. Larger companies cannot settle for the same disclaimer for everyone within their organization. They need a flexible, professional disclaimer solution that can be adjusted to their exact needs. With the increasing use of disclaimers, non-specific disclaimers are simply not having the desired effect any more. Spot on. And when people start to ignore html formatted disclaimers, we can look forward to Flash pop-up disclaimers and DHTML drop-down caveats.

It looks like they changed it to per user for Exchange 2000, but that may or may not apply to volume licensing. So - you need a Win2K/NT4.0 CAL per user or per workstation (per server or per seat mode), then you need an Exchange 5.5 CAL per workstation (including home machines if they use OWA to authenticate). There was some academicvolume licensing in 5.5 where they licensed Exchange per user instead of per workstation. Your best bet is to check out the license agreement your purchased under. Microsoft doesn't do a one size fits all for licensing.

RE: License Question
Title: RE: License Question Your missing what I said. "The ONLY server in the Domain." That means it is a PDC, and Exchange. If it's a PDC, and is the only Server that they authenticate to the clients need an NT Server CAL in addition to the Exchange CAL. That is of course assuming a native NT Domain environment. I could be misguided hereI guess, but I would almost bet my left arm that you need a CAL to authenticate to log on to an NT Domain Controller. -Original Message-From: Leone, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 2:18 PMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: License Question They need an NT CAL if they are in Per Server mode.

Happens in my environment. :-) My NT server is used ONLY as an Exchange server (altho I do have a separate Win2K Server running SQL2K as a member server in that domain). File Print sharing is done on a Netware server. No one accesses any other services or resources on the Exchange Server. So, according to the web page, I do NOT need any NT CALs, only Exchange CALs.

RE: Exchange store dismounts unexpectedly
I was having a similar issue last weekend which turned out to be a User who subscribed to a Macromedia application Development l-serv. Another person subscribed to that same list had a Korean Signature File and was pretty active on that list. Every time he posted to l-appDev, the Exchange IS would crash after GroupShield choked on the sig file. The logs showed: Event ID: 1048 McAfee GroupShield failed to send message Event ID: 257 An internal error occurred in GroupShield These Events would show up 1 minute prior to the IS crashing. McAfee has not responded to my request for a resolution to this problem yet. I have just blocked Macromedia's IP and asked the User to subscribe using a Hotmail account until the issue is resolved.

With the increasing use of disclaimers, non-specific disclaimers are simply not having the desired effect any more. Spot on.
