RE: E-mail in to China
For all our business in China, after loosing hundreds of e-mails without any logical explanation other than Chinese Gvt filters, we made a policy to our sales persons to FAX ALL documents as well as they are sent to .CN recipients. Actually we are looking for a fax server to automate this process. HTH. Rgds Peter -Original Message- From: Ryan Fennema [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 8:46 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: E-mail in to China I was wondering if anyone else is having issues sending and receiving emails with China (.cn) addresses. We have had several addresses over the last 4-6 months that we cannot send/receive email with. I watch it leave my server with no issues, we receive no errors, but the recipient never receives it. The same goes when they send to us, no errors, it leaves there server, but never arrives here, again no error on either end. The only way we have found to get around the issue for business to continue is to use a hotmail/yahoo account to correspond with them. Has anyone run into this? Does anyone have a suggestion of where to look next? Thanks, Ryan N.

Everything seems to be working fine except one niggling little problem, I have the Admin program installed on my Windows XP workstation. I can connect to the first four servers with no problem, but when I try to connect to the new server ( either by File-Connect to Server or Expand server and try to access any information ) I get DS_E_COMMUNICATION_PROBLEM or something similar. I can administer this server fine from an NT4 workstation at the same location as my XP workstation. I have tried re-installing the admin program to no avail. The only reference to problems like this I can find in the KB reference separate domains, but this is not the case. Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi Gurus! I have been lurking here for a year or so, but I have to ask you guys a question now, so here we go. Version: Exchange 5.5 SP3, NT4.0 SP5. Information store: 18GB.

RE: Moving information store to a network drive
Hello Eirik I did what you plan to do several times. In fact every time priv.edb pub.edb were filling more than 50% of disk space. Just be aware to keep same drive letter / dir structure than used on the previously array. 1- Backup 2- stop exchange services 3- Copy MSX structure files to alternate place 4- Add new HDDs reconfigure your array/raid or so 5- Reconfigure NT to have exactely the same letters 6- Copy MSX structure files back from alt place. 7- cross fingers 8- start MSX services 9- backup 10- Go out and have some beers (Corona or Singha) Best Regards Peter Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow. -Original Message- From: Østensvik, Eirik (F-GAS) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 6:37 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Moving information store to a network drive Ok, so the plan would be: -Stop Exch services. -Move the priv.edb manually -Recreate the raid with more disks -Copy priv.edb.back (-Run optimizer?) -Start Exch services Is it that easy?
