Thanks Paul, as they are currently working (GMT+1), I will test again this evening and post my findings here.
As you pointed out: troubleshooting is a real pain in the ass... Yes I'm using VBScript, I have more experience with that then VB itself and that makes it more easy for me. Indeed MAPI Clients => Outlook! What a wonderfull world we live in... I thought that they communicate with MAPI towards the Exchange server which sends out in SMTP format. So I have a real problem with understanding why MS didn't provide the feature themselves built-in. Perhaps it's an idea for them for the future releases. They are working on a lot of tools (ex. IMF) themselves to cut the need of third-party tools, but something essential like this (I think it's standard for a company to have a disclaimer, not?) is not available in GUI and needs quiet some manipulation. Additionally the exception of working with SBS and having the SMTP connector to be able to forward mail to the SMTP of your ISP. I know I keep hanging on that point, but I think I'm not the only one..... On 8/3/06, Paul Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've done this a couple of times, but on the exchange gateway servers, not on an SBS box. I've never seen SBS. Anyway, the easiest way to do this is to create a second virtual SMTP server and set it to listen on port 26 (and send on 25). Configure the first virtual server to send on 26 (its already listening on 25). Then register the sink on the second virtual server. The reason is that most of your clients are MAPI clients, so don't trigger the SMTP sink. If you're using a connector, you need to point the second virtual server at the connector (I think, it's been even longer since I did one where they had an SMTP connector). I'm afraid I can't give you the scripts as they're at customer sites, etc. One thing I will say is troubleshooting this is a real pain. On one problem I had Dev Support MSFT people help out. We took it from the bottom up. Unregistered all the sinks (that I'd registered, the VBS script you use to register allows you to view all sinks) and then registered a new one that simply created a text file on the D drive. As you're using VBS, not VB, ensure that you use absolute paths for things like text files, etc. as the script will run and not error without absolute paths but they won't work... --Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bart Van den Wyngaert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ActiveDir" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 9:41 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] OT - Adding disclaimer on E2K3 on a SBS 2K3 box > Hi guys, > > I'm having trouble with adding a disclaimer on E2K3 on a SBS 2K3 box. > I'm using the EventSink with a .vbs to add the disclaimer.
