HELP: EXCH5.5 PFs permissions not working on Exch2000

2003-02-25 Thread Imran Iqbal

Please help, I am in the process of migrating from NT and Exch5.5 to AD
and Exch 2000.  The migration is well under way (400 users so far) and we
have had no real problems until now.  It seems that once users are
migrated to AD and Exch2000 they can no longer access Public Folders to
which they were previously explicitly given access unless they are the
owner.  All Public Folders based on Default and Anonymous are fine.

Upon further examination it appears that the MAPI permissions are not
translating into AD permissions properly e.g. when you click Client
Permissions on a Public Folder to view a long list of users with access
you see everyone but if you CTRL click Client Permissions you only see the
owners.

AD is running in native mode, Exchange is running in mixed mode.  All
accounts were previously migrated from NT using ADMT and then ADC was used
to update the Exchange specific information.

I don't think anything went wrong during the setup as this seems to be the
first and only problem.  Any help or useful pointers would be much
appreciated.

Thanks


Imran Iqbal

Can't create large PDL in outlook XP

2003-01-28 Thread Imran Iqbal

Please help, I am trying to create a large Personnal Distribution List on
Outlook 2002 and am getting the following error message.

The distribution list has reached the maximum size for your network
e-mail server.  No new members could be added.

I can't find any information on this error on the Microsoft site or any
settings that I can change.  Has anyone had this before and if so how do
you fix it.

Thanks


Imran

Odd ScanMail behaviour

2002-12-04 Thread Imran Iqbal
I am currently in the process of evaluating Trend ScanMail v6 for Exchange
2000 and have hit an interesting problem.  Basically I am not receiving
any notification messages when I send a test virus.  The email just sits
in the users outbox and the virus is stripped and replaced with a text
file.  I would much prefer that the message doesn't sit in the Outbox but
is instead returned to the sender with a notification that he sent a
virus.  I am not sure if ScanMail works like this by design or I am doing
something wrong.

I have enabled Mail to the ScanMail Administrator, Recipient  Sender in
the Virus Scan area of the notification tab.  Everything else about the
product is working fine.


Please Help

System Manager very slow to open

2002-12-04 Thread Imran Iqbal
My Exchange 2000 System Manager takes 2.5 minutes to open (I'm not
exaggerating) but it works fine once it is up and running.  Does anyone
know why.  My PC is Windows XP (no SPs).

Thanks

Enterprise v StandAlone CA

2002-12-04 Thread Imran Iqbal

I want to secure OWA for my users.  I would like to setup an Enterprise CA
for this purpose as it would integrate with AD and therefore will probably
be more useful in my environment.  However, I can foresee the need to
enable secure emails in the future and am assuming I will be able to do
this with with my enterprise CA.

My only question is, is an Enterprise CA able to obtain certificates from
Verisign etc.  I'm assuming this would be necessary to encrypt a message
that is going outside of the organisation.

I'm still new to CAs and certificates so please keep the answer simple ;-)

Thanks Again

HOW TO: Schedule a Meeting to a Public Folder

2002-11-20 Thread Imran Iqbal
I have a number of Public Folders setup as calendars for meeting rooms. 
This allows users to easily browse through all of the rooms and find an
available one.  The rooms can also be booked by the user in the same way a
user would schedule an appointment in his/her own outlook but by right
clicking directly on the public folder instead.

I now want to be able to book these resources when users schedule a
meeting in outlook by adding it as an attendee.  I know this can be done
if the resource is setup as a mailbox but I would much prefer to have it
is a PF.  I now I can make the folder available in the GAL, how can I set
it up so that it will automatically accept meeting requests.

Thanks in advance

3 Public Folder problems

2002-10-10 Thread Imran Iqbal

I was wondering if anyone could help with any of the 3 PF problems I am
having below.  I think all 3 are related and are symptoms of the same
underlying issue.  I am new to Exchange 2000 but have used 5.5 for many
years.  I am testing a migration.  We are moving to a new domain but will
be upgrading the Exchange Organisation.

Problem 1 - No Free/Busy Information
Migrated mailboxes are unable to schedule meetings with other users, even
other migrated mailboxes.  When you try to check someones availability it
just comes up scored out saying free/busy information is unavailable.

Problem 2 - Can't manage PFs from client PC.
My Public Folder hierarchy has replicated over to the Exchange 2000 system
manager successfully.  However, if I try to check the properties on any
folder I get an error saying 'An unhandled exception occurred'  I can
check the properties successfully directly from the server.  The only
folder that I can check are those that are in another 5.5 site that as yet
has not got an Exchange 2000 server.

Problem 3 - Can't see folder contents in outlook
I am unable to view the contents of public folders in outlook unless they
have a local replica on the Exchange 2000 server.  Even if the mailbox has
permissions to the folder.

Thanks in advance


Imran

Views on Exchange Active Active clustering

2002-10-10 Thread Imran Iqbal

We are currently an Exchange 5.5 site, as part of our move to Exchange
2000 I am considering setting up Exchange on a 2 node Active Active
cluster and would be interested in hearing anyone views or real world
experiences with similar setups.  Each server would have about 800 active
users and would probably be connected to a SAN for the shared storage.

I have heard that there were memory issues with this setup pre SP3.  I
would like to know if there are any other problems and if it is worth
doing

Thanks in advance


Imran
