winmail.dat
All, We are in the process of moving from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 (SP3, May Post SP3 rollup). We have 3 Regional Hubs to which all outbound SMTP traffic is routed through from downstream offices. My Team is getting numerous complaints of external clients receiving the winmail.dat files instead of the original attachments (hotmail, aol, etc...). This only happens to our senders that are from a downstream office. If we send from one of the Hub locations it works perfect every time. I think then we have narrowed it down to the X400 connector, as that is the only difference between sending from a downstream office and a Hub. We have the settings on Exchange 2000 connectors the same as they were with the 5.5 X400 connectors. Has anyone else experienced this?

email distribution management software
The Admissions Department for the College has decided that they have to do something to get a better handle on mass email distributions. About 5 or 6 times per year they will send an e-mail to 40,000 plus recipients trying to recruit the new Freshman class. In the past they have managed their distribution lists in a home grown Access database and then sent the mailings in small pieces because we used to be limited hardware-wise on the Exchange Server and our Internet pipe wasnt all that big. Those 2 issues are no longer a problem. Doing it this way gives them no real feedback on how many bad addresses there were, if anyone read the mailing, etc. They have talked with several companies that offer these as services but they are looking at $7,000 and up every time they put out a mailing. Im thinking we can find software that does these things for less than $42,000 per year? Does anyone know of apps that do these things that will work in an Exchange 2000 environment? Thanks!

RE: configure mobile device for Exchange 2003 ActiveSync
Um - no. Server ActiveSync, you configure within ActiveSync. You enter the NAME of the server, not a website. Server ActiveSync does not take place via http. It actually uses your ActiveSync connection, which requires that either you have wireless enabled on the PDA, or have it docked to the host computer.

Repairing individual mailboxes
I had some database corruption over the weekend, ive recovered from this and the system is working relatively okay. Some mailboxes however seem to have gotten corrupted. If I send a mail to a user with a corrupt mailbox, they go into outlook and there Inbox is empty. I look in the system manager and the email is stuck in the Queue, if I look at the mailboxes view within system manager it shows there are items in the users mailbox. I tried using ExMerge and it runs but extracts no emails. If I delete the users mailbox and recreate it, they work fine, so there is defiantly a problem with there mailbox on the server. Are there any repair tools that can just attempt to repair and get any data from an individual mailbox from with an Exchange Database? _ 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: Repairing individual mailboxes
Hmm, well the luckily, but maybe in the long run not so luckily, the policy currently employed here is most people have PST's.

I have used this problem that occurred at the weekend once again to push for Veritas at the very least. Again I re-itterate, this is not by my choice, I am seeing to get it all changed. Anyway, I don't know what caused the corruption, I blaimed it on Arcserve ;p When I got in late, my car wouldn't start I was late (coincidence!), others had already began work to fix the databases that wouldn't come online, they deleted the e00.log file for some strange reason (even out of the recycle bin :o) I then came in and did my best to get the server back online, I have managed to with minimal loss of data.

RE: Repairing individual mailboxes
Just another quick question, if you may ;p The peoples whos mailboxes are b0rke, the only way to tell they were was the fact that there were emails in the queue that couldn't be delivered, apart from that everything else checks out. Is there any other way of running an extensive test that will flag email boxes that are having difficulties and unable to have email delivered? When I repaired the database I already run integrity checks and a full offline defrag of the database, which should have essentially created a new database and copied all the defragmented data over, I'm lead to believe atleast! _ 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: Repairing individual mailboxes
I do an NTBackup dump of it in addition atm, but even though most people are on PST's it is still leaving me with an unacceptable level of hdd space left, well in my view anyway. As it stands they want to keep the brick level ability to restore individual mailboxes, I think I have persuaded them to buy the exchange agent for Veritas, so we can take advantage of the SIS technology. I could use ExMerge on a schedule to start dumping peoples mailboxes, but I don't want to implement any system that I foresee the chance of running out of resources (hard disk space) so I'm just working with what they are giving me. Arcserve is working, but as we all well know, its crap and besides the fact the data probably can't be restored it causes database corruption.

About 5 or 6 times per year they will send an e-mail to 40,000 plus recipients trying to recruit the new Freshman class. In the past they have managed their distribution lists in a home grown Access database and then sent the mailings in small pieces because we used to be limited hardware-wise on the Exchange Server and our Internet pipe wasnt all that big. Those 2 issues are no longer a problem. Doing it this way gives them no real feedback on how many bad addresses there were, if anyone read the mailing, etc. They have talked with several companies that offer these as services but they are looking at $7,000 and up every time they put out a mailing. Im thinking we can find software that does these things for less than $42,000 per year? Does anyone know of apps that do these things that will work in an Exchange 2000 environment? Thanks!

strange problems
Hi all. We are having some interesting problems with one of our Exchange 2000 SP3 cluster. I wonder is anyone here has seen something like this. It seems that whenever a DC *in another AD site* goes offline, this particular Exchange server starts acting up: users can't connect to the server with Outlook, ESM reports that the stores are dismounted, refreshing the storage group view produces an error that Information Store service may not be running, intermittently the stores seem to mount again, then again appear dismounted. Why would Exchange start acting up like this if one of many DCs goes offline, especially if this DC is in another AD site? We end up failing over the cluster to another node and the server is happy again, until next time. Also another (but I believe related) issue - today a DC in the same AD site went offline and caused all users whose mailboxes are homed on this cluster to receive Error 500 Internal Server Error in OWA. We had to change the server properties under the DS Access tab to manually list good DCs instead of letting Exchange discover DCs automatically, then failed over the cluster - OWA started working fine again. The other two Exchange 2000 SP3 clusters did not get affected by this at all. To the best of my knowledge all these clusters are built the same. They sit in the same rack. They are on the same VLAN. They use the same hardware. They are up to the same SP and patch levels. Any ideas?

RE: strange problems
Not sure about the DC in the other site. It is currently down, can't get to it to check. The DC in the same site that went down today was not a GC, however it had been autodiscovered by Exchange as a Configuration DC. Also I just straightened out another issue - this server has multiple NICs and all of them had NetBIOS bindings (MS Client and File and Print). I removed NetBIOS bindings from the NICs that don't need it (cluster heartbeat NICs) as it was causing Browser to get disoriented.

RE: strange problems
I had better luck in NT4 and multihomed NIC's than in Win2K. I have the unfortunate need to make my Exchange box a DC which is also multihiomed (The the main DC but still). The hoops you need to go through in Win2K is pretty serious.

RE: strange problems
Nothing unusual. Until today, it was set up to automatically discover DCs and the DCs from local site were listed as discovered.

Exchange 2000 Server Replacement
Greetings! I am going to throw out a question, showing my obvious exchange ignorance. We have 4 Exchange Mail Servers in our Organization and we need to replace one of them, as the box is old and slow. This server serves about 100 mailboxes. I am assuming I can build out the new server, install exchange and just move the mailboxes to the new server. The only problem I see with this, is having to reconfigure all of the clients to point to the new server. I would really like to keep the server name the same, but don't think it is possible.

RE: Exchange 2000 Server Replacement
Hello, Some of the things I've encountered with the faq move, and received no help from the faq or list :-): -Some Public Folders not fully syncing. I THINK this was because of Trend Scanmail mucking things up. To resolve things I turned off PF Scanning on both source and target , and then dropped a message in every damn PF (source side) that wasn't synced up. You should allow a couple days for the initial sync. I waited over a week, etc... But, things synced up in a couple hours after dropping in messages. In ESM, Server, Store, PF, you can export the PF item count and bring into Excel. -Some mailboxes won't move. Less than 1%. Corrupt messages usually. ISINTEG doesn't fix things. Track down the messages and delete (get creative in how to delete: OWA, IMAP, Virus scanning turned off,...). -A lot of configuration to copy over (store limits, Maintenance times, SMTP, OWA, Monitors, Backups,...) -Blackberry users have been an annoyance. I've just started testing with those users. Not much written up, guess it's just suppose to work. Would be nice if they'd pay for maintenance! Rights at the Sever level for the Blackberry Admin account are very different between the new and old server... The faq, and it's links, covered the rest that I can recall. A DR server move would've been easier and quicker, but we've been doing that since Exchange 3.0, and we were just looking to leave some of the cruft behind.

RE: Exchange 2000 Server Replacement
So long as the server there were homed on is not removed before *all* client profiles on all machines have had outlook opened on them. It goes like this User logs in and runs up outlook (Outlook reads its configuration info Oulook connects to old home server and asks to connect to mailbox Old server says clear off and talk to this new server Outlook talks to new server and gets mailbox Outlook writes new mailbox location to outlook profile. If old mail server is removed and user has not logged in yet, When user goes to log on , outlook can't find the old server and has no idea about the new one. All it means is ya go into outlook/services and put the new server name in. cheers Dean If the old server is the first exchange server check the FAQ for Ed's move server method.
