RE: Exchange 2000 Log Files - Part II
This may not be the best way to resolve this but it should work. Shut down exchange and do a full backup of your exchange server and logs (flat file). Also backup all of the logs on the network share. Once complete restart exchange. Now turn Circular Logging ON for your information store and restart the exchange services. This will then purge ALL of the logs currently on the drive. Once purged, turn Circular Logging OFF and restart again. Now run a FULL online backup (or two).

Since the Full backups weren't taking place the Log file drive apparently got full. The admin didn't know what to do so he moved some of the log files to a network share and restarted Exchange. Worked fine, but now when I run the backup, I get an error saying that the database is corrupt because the log files are missing. I can't put the log files back since more have been created and they don't fit on either the C:\ or the G:\ drive.

RE: A streamlined version of an OUTLOOK mailbox
No, it is castration and it IS a stupid thing to do to Exchange (even if you could actually do it). What is the point of spending all the money on Licensing, planning, and deployment in the first place if you are going to try to turn the key features off? You will cost your company MORE money trying to run down this silly path in the long run. Either scrap Exchange for something lighter and cheaper in total (Like the e-smith Linux distro and a beefy workstation www.e-smith.com) that you setup and forget about and run POPmail clients.

Nobody here would mention that he really ought to upgrade to at least Exchange 5.5, if not 2000. Or that Outlook 98 is totally irrelevant to his backup strategy. And of course, nobody would say how BAD and useless single mailbox backup and restores really are. Nope... nobody here is going to say all that. Lori already told him to read the FAQ, so 'nuff said!

RE: OOF Replies to the Internet Help
It is disabled by default. Look under Exchange Admin, Connections, IMC, Internet Mail, Advanced Options.

Where on the Exchange Server is this feature situated ? Thanks. Raj -Original Message- From: Miles Holt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 10:30 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OOF Replies to the Internet Help Currently it is our policy to leave Out of Office replies to the Internet disabled under Exchange 5.5SP4. When we have had it enabled we tend to get much larger quantities of bounce traffic and well as complaints from mailing list groups and other mail administrators and users at other companies from looping mail. Of late we have gotten large amounts of internal pressure to turn this feature back on. We are resisting it for now but I fear we may have to reenable it in the future. We always get the argument from our users and now more senior managers that Well XYZ big company uses it so why can't we? I am looking for the following: More lists of reasons why haveing it turned on is a Bad Thing and or ways to reduce and live with some of the issues that it causes.
