RE: the IBM Shark
We are Running the IBM Shark very successfully on Novell, Linux, Unix and Microsoft versions. Our Exchange box has been running beautifully without any hardware related issues. We use flash copy to enable complete backup of the database system without it being down for extended periods of time. We have encountered no problems with databases running on the SANS. To the server, its just a harddrive. why does it care where the harddrive is stored? It was going through a scsi controller to the harddrives and now it is going through a fiber channel. Our databases have not been negatively impacted. Odlly enough it has imporved our up time, since we have gotten off the old disk drives (and they were old!) The SANS system does have some advantages. One of our older server's motherboard blew. We literally moved the Sans card and the nic to another server (which we had just gotten in as a replacement) and the system was up and running. Total down time - 2 hours, most of which was finding out that it was the motherboard. One of the nice features is that one of our Novell servers was running low on space and we just went in and added space. We are getting ready for clustering as well on both Novell and Windows platforms. Our contract on the SANS, uses the SANS dial home feature. We have had IBM people show up to replace a part we didn't even know was going bad, since there was no system issues. I know the SANS has been a godsend for us. We also had ineffecienet drive useage and old small drives. Moving things over to the SANS wasn't as bad as I feared. Other then adding additional Storage disks, we didn't buy it full, we have not had to do any other hardware upgrades to the system. I am afraid, since I am a lowly peon, I don't know much about the architecture of the SANS, but If you contact me of line, I will be happy to introduce you to our system engineer, who would know more.

RE: Legato
We use Legato here for backing up pretty much everything. It can be infuriating when it doesn't work and their tech support is lousy. On the other hand, if Legato says something is backed up, you can rest assured you can recover it if need be. Their BSM (business suite modules) for Exchange seem to work just fine - I've only encountered one problem which you can avoid by making sure you have the latest Legato server software. One thing to watch for: don't run clients that are newer than the server version - that isn't support and can get you in trouble. Clients older than the server are OK. Legato is solid and flexible, but it is also complicated. If you are going to be the primary Legato person, expect a LARGE learning curve. You may want to consider contracting out support to a third party - particularly if using a complex tape jukebox.

RE: Aelita products - Slightly OT
Reasonably on topic I think. For larger shops 3rd party provisioning solutions are often a requirement due to the highly distributed nature of data and administration. They provide an excellent way to enforce business logic into the process. While I don't have any actual implementation experience with the Aelita products specifically, I do have a lot of experience with the general concepts surrounding automation of provisioning and management. Is there is a reason this customer is stuck on Aelita specifically or is the query more generally about the types of products which can do that type of work? There are a number of other products which do similar things including Discus Data's ExMS http://www.discusdata.com/. I believe I have a few others listed at www.mail-resources.com as well in the web links section. Best piece of experience I can share is to spend as much time as possible understanding the customer requirements and business processes as it relates to account provisioning and work to help them streamline and automate the process as much as possible during the implementation. For large organizations, the cost savings of doing the work right the first time can be tremendous, even if it does seem 'less painful' to do it just good enough. -- Chris Scharff, MVP MCSE EMS Sales Engineer MessageOne 512.652.4500 x-244 -Original Message- From: Charles Marriott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 9:26 AM To: Exchange Discussions I have a BIG Exchange 2000 customer that is thinking Aelita EDR and Event Admin are going to be required to manage AD/EX2K and such.

You may want to consider contracting out support to a third party - particularly if using a complex tape jukebox.

Mail Loop
We have recently installed a second Exchange 2000 Server. Any mailbox created or moved to this server does not receive any mail. Sending seems to work fine.

Alternative recipient and system error messages
We have a remote site which is a sub-domain of our network and has its own exchange server. However, we want all our sites to have a common email address style, so we have the remote users set up on our Exchange box with mail addresses in the common style but with alternate recipient set to their actual address on their own server. (We don't use a site connector because of a slow and expensive link, on which we try and minimise time on-line) Messy but it works in that all messages arriving for [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] are correctly received by [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and all messages sent appear to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , which is our objective. However, if the remote user sends a message which contains an error ( mistyped address is the commonest), the main site Exchange system, which is the ultimate delivery agent of our network and therefore the one that receives the error from outside) sends the usual error message to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] user which is _not_ forwarded to the remote recipient. We can see why it might happen but not how to get around it Any pointers (or even other solutions to the main objective) ??

Retired Exchange 5.5 Servers
All, I have a question for everyone. I've retired 5.5 servers from our Organization by following a MS Q article that shows you how to accomplish this. Now, when I look in ESM on E2K. It still shows the Exch 5.5 servers listed in there. Granted they are ghosted out. But how do I get rid of them as well. I also have a situation like this for a site that I removed from the Organzation, where it's still listed as an Administrative Group in E2K. Anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of these servers?

RE: Retired Exchange 5.5 Servers
This is probably a simple question to most of you, but the answer eludes me. I am the exchange server administrator (that means that I don't necessarily know how to fix it, but I get all the inbound failure mail). We have a few accounts that were deleted due to employees leaving, getting fired, etc. I deleted their user/email accounts, but they are on a bunch of junk mail lists. So I am getting around 50 - 70 emails a day to those few addresses. It is so many that I am not able to read through the inbound failures to look for legitimate emails that were sent incorrectly. I have tried using the rules wizard in outlook, but for some reason it does not catch these mails. Is there a way to do this at the server level? I read a couple articles on the turf directory but don't know how to add entries to it. I specifically want the exchange server to delete any mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not send me a notification of inbound failure. Thanks. Doug -Original Message- From: Bowles, John L.

It can be infuriating when it doesn't work and their tech support is lousy. On the other hand, if Legato says something is backed up, you can rest assured you can recover it if need be. Their BSM (business suite modules) for Exchange seem to work just fine - I've only encountered one problem which you can avoid by making sure you have the latest Legato server software. One thing to watch for: don't run clients that are newer than the server version - that isn't support and can get you in trouble. Clients older than the server are OK. Legato is solid and flexible, but it is also complicated. If you are going to be the primary Legato person, expect a LARGE learning curve.

RE: the IBM Shark
We have a Shark here and found that it is CRAP when it comes to I/O intensive Win32 applications. Someone here got the bright idea to have an enterprise-wide SAN solution, instead of looking at it from the perspective of how each platform actually works the Shark works great for legacy (i.e. IBM) systems, and works marginally well for NT file servers, but try sticking a large SQL database on there and watch what happens. Of all the SANs out there (at least 18 months ago when ours was purchased), the Shark was one of the most expensive, and one of the slowest. It may not be the same with newer Sharks, but ours is a slow-as-hell drive technology that choked whenever we tested SQL databases and Exchange 5.5 on it. We have found that Compaq's SAN solution works well for our environment -- it's almost half the price of comparable storage on the Shark, and much much faster.

E-mail routing
OK, stupid question time. I feel stupid for not finding the answer but I need to ask... My internal organisation is multiple Exchange 5.5 SP4 sites using X.400 connector. Each site use a different smtp dns domain name for it's users and mail flow without problem. Typing a user smtp address instead of it's Exchange mailbox name result in the address being convert to Exchange mode. My main site is working as a hub for all corporate e-mail for Internet destination. An X.400 connector direct the e-mail to a DMZ Exchange 5.5 server with the internet connector... If I send an e-mail to a non-internal smtp address, since Exchange can't resolve it to an internal mail account, it send it to the DMZ Exchange server who try to deliver it to the Internet. If the destination address doesn't exist, a non-delivery report is return. Everything normal. Now, if the e-mail is send to a non-existant e-mail address from an Internal DNS name (one in the inbound table of the Internet connector DMZ Exchange server), the e-mail disappear and no non-delivery report is generate. In fact, I can track the e-mail to the Internet connector but can't find a trace of the delivery problem. Any idea what is appening? Thank you.

RE: the IBM Shark
We're running e2k on a shark, but we don't have many users on it. I'm forseeing I/o issues just from the design. If you can, fight for your own disk pack so that you don't suffer the pains of the shark for all design. I lost the battle, here, so I'm sure we'll have slowness and it will be all exchange's fault.

1018 errors - oh the fun
so we're getting 1018 errors Here's the details: single-server single site (ASP stuff with multiple address book views) nt4.0 sp6a exchange 5.5 with sp4 and post fixes - Antigen 7.0 as the virus scanner, but previously version 6.5. We run nightly full backups. We have been receiving 1018 errors only on weekends - this seems strange to me, since I would think that we would receive them nightly. We performed an eseutil /p as well as an isinteg /alltests to clear the errors - Result: still getting errors. I realize that 1018's point towards hardware, but we're just not seeing any hardware problems. We're swapping out the RAID card just to see if that helps, but the 1018's still need to be fixed. I spoke to Msft and they said that they don't recommend running a database in production after a /p is performed, but that the /p is used to prepare the server to be exmerged and then fixed. Running an Exmerge to fix the server is a total nightmare, in my mind, losing all of the appointment stuff and various other settings that I don't want to lose. Aside from an Exmerge, does anyone have any suggestions? And does anyone know why msft doesn't recommend running a /p'd database in production? Oh, and I forgot: if there's not a hardware error (which so far there is not) even though msft says that 1018's are rarely generated if there are no hardware issues, has anyone experienced 1018's without hardware errors present? Any suggestions, smart-ass or otherwise would be helpful - and entertaining.

OWA from remote domain
Running OWA 5.5 sp4 on a stand alone server along with Exchange 5.5 in the corp domain. Those in another domain cannot check their email which we host. I've created the local group here and added their global group of OWA users. For some reason they can't authenticate to their domain, even though we have bidirectional trust relationship. They are running W2K ADS. I've looked at the technet OWA troubleshooting guide along with a few Q articles. Is anyone else doing this and had similar problems?

ISA Server implementation for Exchange
Ok, here is the situation. I'm assigned to a project regarding Internet Security and I've been pushed into a corner and need some help. How are most people deploying ISA Server within their company? Are they adding it as a member of their AD domain or making it stand alone? Let me explain why I'm asking. Our company is looking at doing a more secure DMZ. For my part of the project I need to present a way to continue to allow access to our Exchange services to outside users, for this example, we'll say just SMTP and OWA. Ok, here is the catch. Even though we already have a checkpoint firewall in place on the outside border of the DMZ they feel that we should add another firewall on the inside border and put ISA between them as a stand alone box. While this will work, it's not exactly the best in my opinion. This is what I'm proposing but I need ammo to back it up. I'm telling them leave the Checkpoint where it is and use the ISA server as the inside border firewall and allow it to be a member of the AD domain. Put the web servers in the DMZ (their decision not mine) and allow me to publish my Exchange services with ISA to the outside world. Granted, even though this will all still be behind the checkpoint firewall, they don't like it. They want a completely disconnected DMZ. I've tried explaining the ins and outs about how ISA will do just fine and block everything the way it should and how we can do packet content level filtering but I'm still getting the you're wrong and stupid looks from them. Can somebody point me in the right direction for GOOD technical or political ammo to back up what I've recommended.

The only error out of the event logs is: Event Type: Information Event Source: MSExchangeMTA Event Category: X.400 Service Event ID: 275 Date: 12/9/2002 Time: 2:28:22 PM User: N/A Computer: INVVAN2KEX Description: A deferred delivery timer started for message id C=US;A= ;P=Inventa;L=INVVAN2KEX-021209222636Z-166, object 021209222700Z. Delivery is scheduled for 021209222700Z. [MTA SUBMIT 14 359] (10) Now the resolution for this issue according to the MS KB is to install SP4, but I already have that installed. Any ideas?

Re: Strange NDR
Has someone unwelcome hacked into your network and used your account to do odd things at all. It does look odd. Might be worth turning up Logging on the IMS to high, switching on Auditing for yourself then watching the Event Log carefully for a little while. I may be wrong, but one never knows ... Anyone else, please do correct if I am just being a bit too paranoid here. On Mon, 2002-12-09 at 21:47, Jerry J. wrote: Received a strange NDR today.

RE: Faxing via Exchange
It's not a big deal - if you are comfortable with telephony systems as well as with Exchange connectors. Setting up and the systems correctly is the trick, but shouldn't be too difficult. If you've set them up correctly, administration is quite simple. If it's worthwhile will vary depending on your goals.

RE: 1018 errors - oh the fun
If you can't solve it any other way, I suggest you follow FAQ Appendix A and move everything to a new server.

We run nightly full backups. We have been receiving 1018 errors only on weekends - this seems strange to me, since I would think that we would receive them nightly. We performed an eseutil /p as well as an isinteg /alltests to clear the errors - Result: still getting errors. I realize that 1018's point towards hardware, but we're just not seeing any hardware problems. We're swapping out the RAID card just to see if that helps, but the 1018's still need to be fixed. I spoke to Msft and they said that they don't recommend running a database in production after a /p is performed, but that the /p is used to prepare the server to be exmerged and then fixed. Running an Exmerge to fix the server is a total nightmare, in my mind, losing all of the appointment stuff and various other settings that I don't want to lose. Aside from an Exmerge, does anyone have any suggestions? And does anyone know why msft doesn't recommend running a /p'd database in production? Oh, and I forgot: if there's not a hardware error (which so far there is not) even though msft says that 1018's are rarely generated if there are no hardware issues, has anyone experienced 1018's without hardware errors present? Any suggestions, smart-ass or otherwise would be helpful - and entertaining.

RE: E-mail routing
Do you have directory replication connectors?

I feel stupid for not finding the answer but I need to ask... My internal organisation is multiple Exchange 5.5 SP4 sites using X.400 connector. Each site use a different smtp dns domain name for it's users and mail flow without problem. Typing a user smtp address instead of it's Exchange mailbox name result in the address being convert to Exchange mode. My main site is working as a hub for all corporate e-mail for Internet destination. An X.400 connector direct the e-mail to a DMZ Exchange 5.5 server with the internet connector... If I send an e-mail to a non-internal smtp address, since Exchange can't resolve it to an internal mail account, it send it to the DMZ Exchange server who try to deliver it to the Internet. If the destination address doesn't exist, a non-delivery report is return. Everything normal. Now, if the e-mail is send to a non-existant e-mail address from an Internal DNS name (one in the inbound table of the Internet connector DMZ Exchange server), the e-mail disappear and no non-delivery report is generate. In fact, I can track the e-mail to the Internet connector but can't find a trace of the delivery problem. Any idea what is appening? Thank you.

RE: Retired Exchange 5.5 Servers
As you have been told, you have a problem with your Config CA. When you properly delete these from your Exchange 5.5 site, the Config CA should replicate this to AD, and then they should drop out of your Exchange 2000 display. But since that is not happening, either (1) something is wrong with your Config CA, or (2) you did not delete them properly in Exchange 5.5. Now you have an orphan object in Exchange 2000. Search the Knowledge Base for the word orphan and see if anything helps you.

Re: Strange NDR
You could use logging to see if the user is sending such mails. Anyway it will tell you if such mails are send from your network or at least via your server. Make sure your server is not an open relay. If it was up to me I would check the queue's too. Spammers usually don't send just one message.. --B At 13:47 09-12-2002 -0800, you wrote: Received a strange NDR today. On an e-mail sent to someone outside the organization and the delivery failed.

Are there a lot of headaches involved? Been there done that. Installed ZetaFAX. It integrates nicely with Exchange. Other products are known to integrate with Exchange too. Is it worthwile? For my customers it is, they need to send at least 40 faxes daily and they don't want to print and walk to the fax machine. Some of them are even using it to receive faxes too but that may give some problems with some fax machines.. So, for sending messages it's great. Less work and more speed. For receiving faxes I'd rather use a normal fax machine, at the very least one should be available if the sending party can't send their faxes. It all depends on what you want and how your company operates.. -- B _ 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]
