RE: RUS not working to child domain?
4 commons ways RUS can break are below. They may not all be appropriate to you, but I've cut pasted them from a word doc of mine. :-) 1) RUS configuration references a deleted DC or E2K server, or the servers defined in RUS configuration are flakey at best. Browse both entries and choose alternates, if available. 2) Inheritable permissions are removed on an OU and the RUS is no longer able to reach the objects within it. (Q297124) 3) RUS is unable to generate email addresses because it is unable to locate a third party email address generator (DLL file). This can occur in mixed environments where an Exchange 5.5 server had fax software or the like installed. Exchange 2000 builds its recipient policies based on Ex55 site addressing (which includes the third party address). Since the DLL does not exist on the E2K server used by the RUS, the RUS will fire Event IDs 2035, 2037, and 2027 if MSExchangeAL logging is set to max. (Q286356) 4) If the RUS encounters a distribution list that has its membership hidden, it will not be able to stamp it with mail attributes and will go to sleep.

Strange OWA 5.5 issue
Hello all, I have a bizarre OWA 5.5 SP4 issue regarding hard deletes from the Inbox. A user that uses OWA 5.5 exclusively marks items for deletion from the Inbox, then selects the Delete Marked Items button. These items will be moved to her Deleted Items folder. When she does this, though the remaining mail items in the Inbox are hard deleted. They never touch the Deleted Items folder. I am able to login to the mailbox and use Recover Deleted Items to retrieve the mail for her. Normally I would think this was a something the user is doing, but since the problem happens in OWA and the mail never hits Deleted Items, it makes me think something else is happening. Also, this problem has happened to the same user more than once. Is it even possible to hard delete mail items using OWA? The version of IE is 5.0, would that have anything to do with it? I appreciate any feedback on this situation.

Exchange cluster node loses sight of DC and dies
The last couple of days we had a couple of incidents when an Exchange 2000 cluster node crapped out and did not fail over. We had to completely shut it down in order for it to release resources and fail over. After the fact we checked the event logs and saw that it was having problems seeing the domain controllers. There were a lot of RFR and NSPI errors. The server ran fine for a long time before this started happening. The most recent change was applying the MS Security patch http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp the patch was applied Monday night. The node started misbehaving on Wednesday morning. Could this be a result of the patch? Has anyone seen anything similar?

RE: Outlook dependency to GC
Are both GCs in the same site? Outlook does keep the GC in the registry, but it gets it from Exchange in a process known as referral. Look in your Exchange server's Properties pages, under Directory Access (I think it is; it's known as DSAccess) and you can see which GCs your Exchange server uses. If there's only one in the site and it goes down, it could take maybe 15 minutes (from my experience) for the Exchange server to decide to use a GC outside the site. That may be enough ammunition for you to purchase a second GC for the site.

Client Not connecting on reboot of Exchange 5.5 server....
Hey ya all, this is really weird, Had to reinstall the imc on Monday and asked everyone to log off which this particular client says he did but after the server came up Outlook is very sluggish in starting or will not start at all, get either the retry, work offline, or cancel dialog box or the Requesting Data from the Exchange Server dialog box then it might open. Also some of the client machines have been getting the Requesting data from Microsoft Exchange window but very infrequently. Have 10 servers running Exchange 5.5 sp4 on nt40 sp6, the client is running xp and office xp with all patches loaded. The particular server that this client is on is the Public Folder server and has the IMC/CC mail connector's on it. Troubleshooting steps so far: 1. Turned off, Enable Instant Messaging on the client. 2. Unchecked the all Planner Options on the client. 3. Tried a hosts file with this server name in it. 4. Change the RPC binder order from default to tcp_ip and spx only. 4a. Ran the rpc ping utility from this workstation and set ping 50 times all successful. 5. Can ping server just by name. 5. arp -a has the correct server and mac address of the nic card 6. nbtstat -c shows the server. 7. Did a nslookup of the exchange server from this workstation and server resolved. 8. Looked in the Wins manager did notice another entire for this machine deleted it. 9. Can do a \\exchange server name from the workstation. 10. Uninstalled and reinstalled Office Xp. I'm cornfused now.and scratching my head about this... Any suggestions. Also I want to get a sniff of this workstation and know there is a new version of netmon called netmon2. I tried ftping to Microsoft's site via a link that I was given and also searching via the web with no luck do any of you have it? john _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: RUS not working to child domain?
Neil, Thanks for the quick rundown, but none of those appear to be the problem: 1. All DC's listed in RUS are available from the Exchange server. No problem with connectivity either by FQDN or short name (netbios name). 2. I've checked all the way to the individual object in AD. Exchange Enterprise Servers have permissions to the users in question. The Exchange Server in question is part of the Exchange Enterprise Servers. 3. No third party address generators are installed. No event errors in the event log with logging set to max. 4. No problems with Dist. lists with hidden membership. Again, no errors in the event log. And the hunt continues... Thanks though.

They may not all be appropriate to you, but I've cut pasted them from a word doc of mine. :-) 1) RUS configuration references a deleted DC or E2K server, or the servers defined in RUS configuration are flakey at best. Browse both entries and choose alternates, if available. 2) Inheritable permissions are removed on an OU and the RUS is no longer able to reach the objects within it. (Q297124) 3) RUS is unable to generate email addresses because it is unable to locate a third party email address generator (DLL file). This can occur in mixed environments where an Exchange 5.5 server had fax software or the like installed. Exchange 2000 builds its recipient policies based on Ex55 site addressing (which includes the third party address). Since the DLL does not exist on the E2K server used by the RUS, the RUS will fire Event IDs 2035, 2037, and 2027 if MSExchangeAL logging is set to max. (Q286356) 4) If the RUS encounters a distribution list that has its membership hidden, it will not be able to stamp it with mail attributes and will go to sleep.

A number of months ago we began integrating the systems of a company we purchased with our own. As part of the consolidation we added their network to our existing AD as a child domain. We consolidated email servers to a single server. Adding Exchange mailboxes for their child domain accounts went smoothly. Once the RUS to their child domain was added, all the information replicated to the GAL just as I expected and they had live mailboxes... Now, for some reason RUS no longer appears to be working properly with the child domain... Changes to accounts (spelling changes in names for instance) aren't reflected in the GAL and new accounts in the child domain never appear in the GAL. RUS appears to be working fine within the main domain though. I've tried to force an update and a rebuild in RUS, neither of which made a difference. I've turned logging for MSExchangeAL (LDAP, Service Control, and Address Book Synch) to Max, but I don't see any failures or warnings (just a lot of informational messages which I've perused but can't discern anything that looks like a problem). I've verified connectivity to the remote child DC which is configured in the RUS (MSKB 294222) by both short name and FQDN. I even tried changing to another DC in the child domain with no effect. I've removed and rebuilt the RUS to the child domain. I believe that the Exchange Enterprise Servers have proper permissions all the way through the child domain per MSKB 328223 (they shouldn't have changed since the initial accounts were put in, and everything worked OK when I added the first 60 or so accounts)... I'm hoping someone else can give a suggestion as to where to investigate next. Everything looks like it SHOULD be working properly. As always, thanks in advance for any assistance!

Strange calendar problems - Exchange 2000, Outlook 2002
Hello, We are having a strange problem with one user's (we'll call her User A) calendar and specifically with meeting requests. Here is the scenario: 1) User A sends invitation to User B for a meeting. 2) User B accepts invitation. 3) A short while later (the time varies), User A will receive a meeting cancellation of that meeting. 4) A check of User B's Sent Items folder shows a cancellation even though they never issued the cancellation. This has happened to User A at least a half-dozen times, and is not with any specific recipient. Also, they have been able to send many other successful meeting requests. This is on Exchange 2000 SP3 with Outlook 2002 on an all Windows 2000 network. Also, this is not happening to other users. Here's some of what I've tried so far: 1) I've checked the recipients' workstations for any auto-cancel rules and found none. 2) I've scanned the workstation for viruses and found none. 3) Searched MS's knowledgebase and read anything I could find on canceled meetings. 4) Tried starting Outlook with the /celanfreebusy and /cleanreminders switches. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works. They have me change the service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to SERVICE ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct). Still no joy. Try to cancel out of that error message. Nada. Have to task manager/shut down process. They then refer me to the ultimate nightmare: Q264309 - How to Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000. Yuck. Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all service packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed exchsrvr folders, setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info store. Restoring directory service doesn't work. Call PSS back. Directory service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service. Change to manual start and reboot. Directory restores!!! Restore info store. (8 gigs). 2 hours later ready
