In this organization every network problem is first reported as an "Exchange Issue". It's probably due to the fact that Outlook is the only network application that EVERY client uses and it is usually the very first network application that they open. That's probably the reason why the network problems are reported as exchange issues. Well, that and an untrainable mass of helpdeskians.

So, IMHO, I think you should look at the communication between your exchange servers and your DC\GC servers.

The server ran fine for months without any restarts or reboots before SP2. We went with SP2 because of better OWA features and better SMTP queue management. Before SP2 we used to get messages stuck in the "Awaiting Directory Lookup" queue and there was no way to get rid of them. Those pesky messages eventually ate all the memory. We had to stop the SMTP virtual server and create a new SMTP virtual server. After SP2, we can simply remove those messages from this queue. But a few days after installing SP2, we ran into the OWA problem: When OWA gives up, there are no warnings or errors in the event log, CPU or memory utilization do not change. Everything looks the same, but OWA does not like people's passwords anymore. Although this could have something to do with Kerberos tickets expiring (or not expiring) on time... -----Original Message----- From: Julian Stone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 2:14 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server What else is wrong with your systems to warrant this ?? I have systems that have been running for months on SP2 with no issues.

If I don't, the following day OWA stops accepting users' passwords in the middle of a production day. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
