Sometimes this blocks legitimate mail, which is a PITA. I've removed myself from the keyword scanning, as I was spending more time getting messgaes released than I was dealing with spam. It doesn't bother me to delete a few messages. If it gets past the keyword scan, then sometimes we evaluate the text, and we add in specific rules to combat that particular message. For example, we can't see much communication involving septic tanks within our normal day-to-daty activities. :0) The manual adding is not very scalable I admit.

RE: [Exchange2000] Public Folders Restore
John, What about deleted item retention? Even if it wasn't switched on when the user deleted the folders, putting it on before the restore might catch the deletion run by the logs.

Also, having the same server name is not quite as important, but having the same org name and same Admin Group and Storage Group is what is important. Having the same server name should be absolutely fine though. Since you are not doing a typical restore though, you will probably have to stop the Exchange services, then replace the files. I also wouldn't be surprised if you may find that you have to run eseutil and/or isinteg to get the database mounted. Before running those though, try and re-start the services and then take note of any errors you receive. Also, before running eseutil or isinteg, make sure that you still have your backup copy of the databases in case something happens to them while running either of those utilities.

Matt, you actually need more than the database size. Say, 1.2 times. You can use network connected disk space to do the offline defrag. Might take awhile depending on network speed.

We are currently rolling out Exchange 2000 - we have about 10,000 users in several locations - 150-300 users per office on average. We run the Exchange 2000 servers also as Domain Controllers, with the addition of DNS and DHCP. Everything works just fine, but now the CTO wants to start doing an Office in a Box concept - where we load tons of additional apps on this server. Sort of like Small Business Server - but with additional licenses (more than 50), and not all the apps are Microsoft. I thought we were being a bit risky having Exchange on the same server as a DC, DNS, and DHCP. Does anyone have any advice on this? Bad idea? Terrible idea?

RE: hard drive space
1. You might make sure you have the latest version of store.exe. 2. Exmerge out the data. Mount a blank store. Merge it back in. 3. Otherwise, contact MS and have them take a user dump when the store is pegged. They'll be able to review it and see what is causing the store spike. Then they will probably have you exmerge out the data, mount a blank store, and merge it back in. ;) Jeff -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Posted At: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 8:34 AM Posted To: Exchange Discussion List Conversation: hard drive space Subject: hard drive space exchange 5.5 sp4 nt 4.0 sp6 how much free space should remain on drive where edb's are.

eseutil defrag inconsistency
We have recently deleted a large (700+) number of accounts and mailboxes. It has been decided that defragmenting the store would be useful. We have tested the procedure on a disaster recovery server. Twice. The two restored stores were about a week apart in date and no drastic changes were made in the meantime. The first defrag completed in around 6 hours and reduced priv.edb from 60GB to 39GB The second defrag completed in around 9 hours and reduced priv.edb from 60GB to 57GB Previous tests of eseutil on other servers have apparently revealed similarly inconsistent results. Does anyone have a good idea about what is going on? If we can recover 21GB it would be well worth the trouble but if it is nearer 3 then the risk and disruption would make it a pointless task.

RE: hard drive space - OT Story
Just wanted to pass on this little tale of mine: A while back, my boss in his infinite wisdom, decided to install some software for his APC Backup Units on the Exchange/Web server. While I frown on him installing anything more on this machine, like I said, he's the boss. Today though, when I came into work, he asks me, What is that pbeserver.exe process, it's eating up CPU time. I said, I don't know, will look into it. Well, it turns out that pbeserver.exe is the service that runs the APC software, and apparently it was stuck in an infinite loop. Not only that, but it's data file had grown to 8.01GB. Now, the only thing that saved us on not having exchange crash was that my boss accidentally installed this software on the Web share instead of where he usually likes to install programs, the Exchange share. So, the moral of this story is, for those of you that have complete control over your boxes, don't install anything that isn't priority #1 necessary. For those of you that have bosses like mine, well, try and teach them the best you can :) Bob Sadler City of Leawood, KS, USA WAN/Internet Specialist 913-339-6700 x194 Get a Life! Get TWO!

You might make sure you have the latest version of store.exe. 2. Exmerge out the data. Mount a blank store. Merge it back in. 3. Otherwise, contact MS and have them take a user dump when the store is pegged. They'll be able to review it and see what is causing the store spike.

Outlook freezes on Public Folders
I have one user whos Outlook 2000 will freeze as soon as she clicks on the public folders. Exchange 2000. She has been able to use public folders until yesterday. This happens on whatever pc she uses (no roaming profiles). I created a new test user using the copy option in ActiveDirectory Computers and users. The copied user can access public folders, so I know it is not a permissions issue. I am planning on exporting all her mail to a pst. deleting her account then recreating it. Then import all of her mail from the pst.

bridgehead/smtp best practices?
I seem to be involved in a bit of philosophical debate and want to get opinions from the field on this. Basically, I have some service mailboxes that I would prefer not to run on regular mailbox servers. These particular mailboxes do not hold any email, they are simply needed for the cirictal operation of exchange dependant third party services (like a peice of monitoring software that needs its own mailbox). They pose no risk to any server and do not need special attention. I feel better if they reside on infrastructure servers such as bridgeheads or smtp gateways since these servers tend to have less problems than regular mailbox servers do (as far as is's stopping or mailbox servers needing to be rebooted more often and then large transaction logs replaying that contribute to a longer down time for these services that rely on the mailbox).

Public folders in Exchange Server 2003
Am wondering if any of you have encountered an issue like this. I am trying to programmatically insert documents into the Exchange Public Folder tree (on Exchange 2003 Server), using VBA (on the Microsoft Outlook 2003 Beta client version 11.4920.2920). The objective is to build a Document Management System. I can succesfully create the directory heirarchy on the server and post documents as attachments, but (sometimes, I wish I knew when) the client hangs, and I cannot open the Public Folder store itself. At other times, I am able to navigate the folders and open the documents. Restarting the server hasn't helped. I even reinstalled the Exchange Server, but that didn't change anything. I'm kind of clueless about this behavior, and will appreciate any help/pointers-to-help.

Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Migration
Hello everyone, Currently we are on a single domain Nt4 and Exchange 5.5 system. We will be merging with the University Exchange 2000 system. The account names of the users will be automatically created and will be different from what we have. My question is, are there any migration tools that can help us with moving our exchange mailboxes directly to 2000 without loosing all the calendar entries and username identity. Basically I'd like to map the usernames from old to new and use move mailbox wizard. If there are none (or too expensive) we will just exmerge to pst and restore the pst. Our users will not be too happy with this option. I heard that there are many 3rd party tools that can help us with this. Thanks for any suggestions.

If an Outlook client has a resource mailbox open and attempts to automatically process an incoming item then it will cause the sink to fail due to the fact that Outlook changes the item out from under the sink.

They pose no risk to any server and do not need special attention. I feel better if they reside on infrastructure servers such as bridgeheads or smtp gateways since these servers tend to have less problems than regular mailbox servers do (as far as is's stopping or mailbox servers needing to be rebooted more often and then large transaction logs replaying that contribute to a longer down time for these services that rely on the mailbox).

Restore worked fine, had the server running standard edition no problem We then tried to upgrade to enterprise by running setup and selecting reinstall - first time we came up w/ an error that pointed to a kb article (I don't have the # handy) that said to run exchange optimizer, reboot - so we did that - next time we ran the setup for 5.5 enterprise - it just hangs when it says that setup if verifying whats on the computer.Event log shows edb starting and stopping the database engine twice, then nothing System is win2k adv server sp3 - exchange 5.5 sp4 (b4 the enterprise install) The old server we moved over from was the same config - only it was win2k server not advanced New server has 2 hyperthread cpus (shows up as 4) and 2gb of ram. Anything I'm missing here? Anyone seen anything like this?
