We are running: Two GC/DC in our SF office for the root domain, and one child domain with a GC/DC also.
Exchange 2000 is on a win2k sp2 server in the child domain. We have three exchange server, all win2k sp2, with exchange 2000 sp3. One is our primary server in SF, one is an OWA server in the DMZ (front end server) and one in our Walnut Creek office (this server has zero mailboxes so far) Outlook client is, Outlook 2000. I'm not sure where the message gets stuck at, or if it's one particular message that blocks the whole queue and prevents the rest from being picked up. If you can give me some pointers on how to check if the message is in IS or categorizer queue, that would be helpful. But we do know that if we restart the IS, everything works fine for a couple of hours and the process starts all over again. MS is having us dump everything and send them the log files and they are forwarding it to their debug team. Let's hope this gets resolved fast because I got some pissed off users and managers.

So can you expand a bit more on your environment and infrastructure? Do you run Exchange 2000 SP3 on Windows 2000 SP3? How many DC/GCs are in place? Is the Exchange 2000 machine also DC/GC? I'm running SP3 now for a bunch of days on the test/development server and production server and my mail is still getting delivered (as you see right now). Is it MAPI Outlook which causes the mail to "not get picked up"? Which version of Outlook? What happens to the mail? Does it get stuck in the Outbox or hide completely? Can you track down where the message got stuck via Perfmon? Is it somewhere in an IS queue or Categorizer queue? <Cheers:Siegfried runat="server" /> > -----Original Message----- > From: Varghese, Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 9:29 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: Exchange 2000 SP3 > > I wouldn't recommend installing this currently if you have plans to. > There is a serious bug that is causing none of the mail to be picked up > from your outlook clients until you restart the IS.
