RE: Views on Exchange Active Active clustering
I've looked into Exchange Active/Passive clustering for our Exchange 2000 servers. The largest Exchange problem that causes downtime is corruption in the database. I agree with Ed that clustering cannot help in this senario. However, even with high quality hardware, you still have to deal with the 58 security patches and one Windows 2000 service pack that have been issued this year. Granted not all the 58 security patches are Windows 2000 related, but a large number of them are. An active/passive cluster gives me the capability of installing hotfixes and service packs without impacting my Exchange server even for a reboot. Also I can install the hotfixes during the day on the passive node and then failover that evening. If there is a problem, I can fail back to the unpatched node. The reduction in reboots and late hours makes an Active/passive cluster very appealing. However, clusters do add a level of complexity. Unless you understand clusters and how they operate, this added complexity can decrease uptime instead of increase it.

RE: Unusual OWA problem
The plot thickens... I found the registry key which controls which server OWA contacts for DS info - HKEY_LM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeWEB\Parameters\Server I tried changing it to the 4th server. Users still cannot access their mailboxes on the 4th server, all other users can still access their mailboxes. This suggests that OWA is not only accessing the 4th server ok, but is able to read the directory on that server. Therefore the problem probably lies elsewhere - Something unique to the mailbox setup on that server maybe? I have just gone through the mailbox properties and compared them to a mailbox that is working (I also compared the raw properties), and cannot find any differences (other than ones I would expect). So once again I am puzzled - Not an unusual state of affairs :) Nick -Original Message- From: Chris H [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 October 2002 01:42 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Unusual OWA problem The value for the exchange server OWA hits is in the registry (I forget the key but it is in the MS KB).

Name resolution 'seems' ok... ie the OWA box can resolve the 4th server name to IP address without problems. OWA originally worked talking to the 4th server. The IP address of the 4th server did change some time ago. Several weeks before a report of problems with OWA. (I am not discounting this, since users are notorious for not reporting problems immediately). Test users fail in the same manner as normal users. I get the same results connecting either from inside or outside. If this could be a problem caused by the change in IP address, I would appreciate any ideas on where to start looking - WINS is fully updated, we do not use DNS, all name resolution seems to be working. Is there anything within the Exchange install that 'hard codes' the IP address?

All users on all 4 servers can access their mailbox via an Outlook client. I get the standard - 'OWA was unable to get your Inbox' error. I have followed as many of the MS help/KB articles I can find, to no avail. There is no firewall between the OWA box and the 4 servers.

The other issue with Assentor is that they do not allow anyone to look at the design of their database. There is no way to run custom queries directly on it. At least that was the case a few years ago. WorldTalk on the other hand let us play with the DB and write customer queries and stored procedures. We knew exactly what each table and query and stored procedure was. We were able to go and fix something in the DB if it was not working right or did not address OUR needs correctly.

Re: advice for archiving email into a DB from a gateway server
I think the DB Assentor used was a one designed by them, not an off the shelf one. I remember being told the database was hands off. The tools and expertise to do certain functions was a call to their TS. Anyhow it was my first experience with that type of software. The one thing I will always remember is someone calling me and saying I sent this mail and the other person hasn't received yet. I would look and there it was waiting in queue for his manager to release. Boy stock brokers get mad when their mail doesn't flow fast.

RE: advice for archiving email into a DB from a gateway server
Especially when their insider trading tips don't make it to the destination on time :) Watch out for those telephones flying over your head! -Original Message- From: Tony Hlabse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 10:19 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: advice for archiving email into a DB from a gateway server I think the DB Assentor used was a one designed by them, not an off the shelf one. I remember being told the database was hands off. The tools and expertise to do certain functions was a call to their TS. Anyhow it was my first experience with that type of software. The one thing I will always remember is someone calling me and saying I sent this mail and the other person hasn't received yet. I would look and there it was waiting in queue for his manager to release. Boy stock brokers get mad when their mail doesn't flow fast.

There is no way to run custom queries directly on it. At least that was the case a few years ago. WorldTalk on the other hand let us play with the DB and write customer queries and stored procedures. We knew exactly what each table and query and stored procedure was. We were able to go and fix something in the DB if it was not working right or did not address OUR needs correctly. Maybe that was the case because they were using us as their testing grounds :) But we contributed a lot to their design and both benefited from it. -Original Message- From: Tony Hlabse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 9:54 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: advice for archiving email into a DB from a gateway server One thing about Assentor that I do remember, the company I was working for had a major hardware failure. That was before I got there. At the time there was no easy way to backup the Assentor database from what I was told. It was a nightmare because as the person responsible for it had to rebuild all the manager accounts and stuff. Ended up one person having to approve all messages until the accounts were set back up. Nothing like coming in the morning and seeing hundreds if not thousands of messages in queue waiting to be released.

All messages are indexed into a SQL database as they are written onto a magneto-optical drive. We at Credit Suisse evaluated Assentor and had some issues with it. But that was 3-4 years ago. Instead we chose WorldTalk WorldSecure Server with the SEC Content Scanning and Archiving component. WorldTalk has since been acquired by TumbleWeed, but I think they still make that archiving product, albeit under a different name. Check http://www.tumbleweed.com That software has its own multithreaded SMTP gateway. You can define various policies. The policy wizard looks very similar to Rules Wizard interface. You can check all messages for various conditions and define the message disposition rules (pass, quarantine, archive, forward a copy, etc). You can archive all messages unconditionally. It also scans for words and phrases, with weight associated with each word or phrase. You could define various dictionnaries for content scanning (insider trading, porn, etc) When messages are archived, they are zipped up and written onto into a SQL database *in their entirety* AND also are written onto a magneto-optical drive in a jukebox. The messages are also indexed in the SQL database. After a predefined age, the message bodies are purged from SQL database (but remain on the jukebox platters). The SQL indexes contain such info as the common message fields, whether the body is still in SQL or already aged, what jukebox platter the message is on and what zip file it is in. Also the indexes contain the info about the policy that got the message archived (general or porn or insider trading) For message review, they have a web-based interface. It reads the SQL indexes and retrieved messages based on search criteria. When message is opened for reading, there are indicators that highlight suspect words (porn, insider trading, etc) so that a reviewer can easily determine if message has any bad content. -Original Message- From: Tony Hlabse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 9:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: advice for archiving email into a DB from a gateway server You also might want to look at www.assentor.com I used it once for a financial firm.

RE: Problem with Mailbox Migration Tool
Good evening, Mr Berns If MMT works anything like ExMerge (which I believe it is based on), the name of the PST prior to import needs to be directoryname.pst - chances are you have different directory names between the systems. The CSV should handle that. Also, are you fully pathing the CSV - as in the following: /o=Peregrine/ou=PSSD/cn=Recipients/cn=dirname,/o=Remedy/ou=site/cn=Recipient s/cn=dirname That might help. -- Roger D.

Getting Close to my final configuration
Based on your suggestion about properly configuring my new Exchange 2000 box, I have one other question. To save money and time what do you think about using a RAID5 with 9 gig drives for my OS and Logs and use a RAID5 with 36gig drive for my Information Store?

RE: Getting Close to my final configuration
I think you should use raid 1 with the 9gig drives x 2. One arm for the OS and one arm for the logs. Even at 400 users I could see the performance increase by putting the logs on a different arm.

RE: Getting Close to my final configuration
What do you mean on each arm? My original plan was to put the OS and Logs on a 9gig mirrored drive and the IS on the 36RAID5. I was little concerned about 9gig not being enough for the logs and OS. I thought using (3) 9gigs in RAID5 which would give me 18 gig would be enough. We have a few 9gig drives available. -Original Message- From: Waters, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 4:03 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Getting Close to my final configuration I think you should use raid 1 with the 9gig drives x 2.

Re: Getting Close to my final configuration
I think it's poor design. Use Raid 1 for the logs. If you're short of spindles put the OS on the same volume as the logs (Raid 1 for the OS is still a good bet). I've never seen such a document.

RE: Views on Exchange Active Active clustering
We have one customer running a couple of active-active clusters with Exchange 5.5 SP4 on one node and another database app on the second. For the most part this works okay, but when one one node or the other fails over and you have both apps running on one node - performance drops like a lead brick. In this case both main apps are databases and that can't be good.

Chris - Original Message - From: Nick Field [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 9:07 AM Subject: RE: Unusual OWA problem Hi Tony, thanks for the response - I'm guessing that when users hit the OWA box, (if authentication is stipulated) they are authenticated against the domain, then once authenticated the OWA code attempts to contact the mailbox specified in the 'Log On' textbox, I am unsure how it determines which server to contact (I assume it connects to the DS on one server, but which server or how it determines which server is unknown to me) and I suspect this is where the problem lies. Name resolution 'seems' ok... ie the OWA box can resolve the 4th server name to IP address without problems. OWA originally worked talking to the 4th server. The IP address of the 4th server did change some time ago. Several weeks before a report of problems with OWA. (I am not discounting this, since users are notorious for not reporting problems immediately). Test users fail in the same manner as normal users. I get the same results connecting either from inside or outside. If this could be a problem caused by the change in IP address, I would appreciate any ideas on where to start looking - WINS is fully updated, we do not use DNS, all name resolution seems to be working. Is there anything within the Exchange install that 'hard codes' the IP address?

RE: Survivors at MEC
Well I won't be back into e-mail again after this message. Sounds like there is a possible gathering at the Mariott. Sounds like a show up and see if anyone's there deal. Something was mentioned about looking for the group making lots of noise. If I see any of you there - cool. If not - have a safe trip home.

RE: Views on Exchange Active Active clustering
It's a pretty steep price to pay to avoid an occasional Sunday morning reboot. Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP kcCC+I Tech Consultant hp Services Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce-exchange-94760;ls.swynk.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Depp Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:15 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Views on Exchange Active Active clustering I've looked into Exchange Active/Passive clustering for our Exchange 2000 servers. The largest Exchange problem that causes downtime is corruption in the database. I agree with Ed that clustering cannot help in this senario. However, even with high quality hardware, you still have to deal with the 58 security patches and one Windows 2000 service pack that have been issued this year. Granted not all the 58 security patches are Windows 2000 related, but a large number of them are. An active/passive cluster gives me the capability of installing hotfixes and service packs without impacting my Exchange server even for a reboot. Also I can install the hotfixes during the day on the passive node and then failover that evening. If there is a problem, I can fail back to the unpatched node. The reduction in reboots and late hours makes an Active/passive cluster very appealing. However, clusters do add a level of complexity. Unless you understand clusters and how they operate, this added complexity can decrease uptime instead of increase it.

RE: Getting Close to my final configuration
Use one RAID-1 pair for the OS, one RAID-1 pair for the logs and whatever you need for the IS.

My original plan was to put the OS and Logs on a 9gig mirrored drive and the IS on the 36RAID5. I was little concerned about 9gig not being enough for the logs and OS. I thought using (3) 9gigs in RAID5 which would give me 18 gig would be enough. We have a few 9gig drives available. -Original Message- From: Waters, Jeff [mailto:jrwaters;co.hanover.va.us] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 4:03 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Getting Close to my final configuration I think you should use raid 1 with the 9gig drives x 2. One arm for the OS and one arm for the logs. Even at 400 users I could see the performance increase by putting the logs on a different arm. Why would this save you money? Even if you put the Logs and OS on the same Channel but different arms you would be better off.

To save money and time what do you think about using a RAID5 with 9 gig drives for my OS and Logs and use a RAID5 with 36gig drive for my Information Store? Also, is there a document out there that describes how to setup Exchange with multiple drives? It seems pretty straight forward using ESM.
