Upgrade 5.5 to 2003
Running Exchange 5.5 on 2000 Server and upgrading to SBS 2003. I assume that I will want to upgrade exchange to 2003 first (after running ADC) then upgrading the OS to 2003. Or in this scenario will I be better off just creating a new server altogether? (Hardware is not an issue) (This server will also assume the domain master roles, be internal DNS be a DC etc) Being forced to merge alot of servers into one since we updated hardware from P3 500 systems. _ 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] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Relaying problem (not quite sure)
Exchange 5.5. I have relaying restricted to only my internal network. There are a few domains that I had to allow to relay to. Example, system somewhere remote needs to send an alert. The computer connects to my SMTP server over the net and tries to send the alert and hits a wall. I enter in mydomain.com to ignore restrictions and all is well. But the systems manager at the remote site wants the e-mail as well so I enter his domain to ignore restrictions and all is well. Tested it and if there is any other domain in the e-mail list for the alert, the entire thing gets dumped and no one is alerted. This is what I wanted. So back to the problem, I am seeing since last week alot of NDR's sent to my postmasters mailbox that (somerandomgarbage)@mydomain.com could not be delivered. Most of them come from AOL addresses. Now am I being relayed thru? What should I look at first? From my slight knowledge I am secured from relaying because I cannot get a remote machine to relay thru my server. But I know there is always a way. _ 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]
Postmaster question
Silly question but I cannot find what I am looking for. I have postmaster set up to goto my mailbox but I am not getting anything to it. I even send a mail to a known bad address and I never get anything to postmaster. Where in exchange 2k do I find how to turn this on if its not on by default. I can send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and get it fine but not getting any NDR's or the like. _ 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]
Relaying in 5.5 and 2k question
In 5.5 I can set up in the routing tab of the IMS to reroute incoming SMTP mail, sent to whatever domain to relay, overriding relay restrictions even tho the mail is coming from another site. Where is this in 2k? I was able to see some things that were close but not quite what I needed and tinkering with them I could not get them to work. This functionality was perfect for our needs and I had to undo my upgrade last night because I was unable to duplicate this functionality. For some background here is my scenario. Have a pc in the field that if it sees an alarm state will send out e-mails. Normally it will just send to me here and all was fine but we needed to add other addresses like pagers, cell phones remote users in different domains etc. The last thing I want to to is make my server and open relay. Our config was fine since if someone wanted relay from my server it would reject it if it was not 1. ony my internal network or 2. sending mail to any of the domains listed in the routing table. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Relaying in 5.5 and 2k question
Recreating the thread I felt I needed to do to make some things more clear than what I did earlier. To expand of my scenario, the remote PC is actually 312 remote PC's. So entering their IP addresses is not really an option. Suboptimal will do for now as we are in the process of writing software so that we can just send a single e-mail to our alert mailbox, then it will look at the alert for type and site, grab the e-mails from a database and send them out from there. But it seems that we need exchange 2k to write the software. But that part is out of my arena. I am just trying to get 2k to work as 5.5 does work now. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Relaying in 5.5 and 2k question
First of all, thank you for your input. I think that I am getting what I need taken care of for now. I will agree that sub-optimal is not the way to go but for the time being it is a satisfactory workaround. More than half of the legacy systems will not support any kind of authentication to my mail server. What we are deploying now will. The main problem I am facing is that this is to be done and now. My boss does not accept that since it works in 5.5 that it will not work in 2000. Again I am just looking at this as a workaround until we get our other system completed. I have never faced as much frustration as I have here. They have deployed systems that are to run 24/7 and collect data/ monitor interfaces and these systems are running windows 95. *ugh* I just want to scream sometimes. Again thanks for the information. I completely understand whar you are saying that its stupid to do it half-assed. But for now, I do not have much of a choice. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Upgrade problem 5.5 2k
Ok, upgraded our 5.5 server to 2k. everyone seems to be fine except me. The problem is that it pointed my user to a different mailbox. This mailbox is just for daily delivery of data files so no one else is affected. But, it gave me its e-mail address and alias, everything but the logon name. The account that I got now has no e-mail address. This I can fix but how can I get my mailbox back? Or am I screwed? The original 5.5 server got the upgrade so everything should be there but how can I link back to it? _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mail routing question
In 5.5 I was able to lock the system down so that no one could route mail other than my internal network. But at the same time I was able to have a computer in another state on a different network connect and send an e-mail to everyone on our network at all was fine, everyone got the e-mail from the computer out of state. But as soon as I added an outside address to the list of our internal addresses the entire message would fail with relaying restricted. But I was able to add that particular domain as a always relay list. So at this point if anyone tried to relay and had any domains listed that were not either my local domain or the one domain listed it would fail and all was well. How do I do that on 2k? I am in a real bind here. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Outlook 2k unable to open you default folders
This PC had a problem after a power outage. I have gotten it running fine except for one problem. I get that error when trying to open a mailbox. Now, I can goto another PC and open this users mailbox no problem so it is not a problem with the info store. On this PC you can pingthe mail server, DNS is working correctly and anything else network related is working fine. Now, when I go into exchange properties and reenter the users name and tell it to check name, I get this: THe name could not be resolved. The microsoft Exchange Address Boook was unable to log on to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer... AGain, the server is fine as all other users are working fine and this user can goto another system and check mail. There is something still wrong with this system. ITs running 2k pro and I have reinstalled outlook 2k and SP3. Nothing has changed. I have also set the logon network security to None in hopes that I could force logon credentials to the server but when I try to open outlook it just goes straight to the above error again, ignoring the need for authentication. Anyone have any ideas? This is my VP;s system and reinstall is not really an option. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Upgrade Q from 5.5 to 2k.
This might be very stupid but I cannot find any conclusive reference to answer my questions. First of all my network: NT 4.0 PDC and BDC then an NT 4.0 server running exchange 5.5. My plan is to upgrade the PDC then the BDC to 2k server leaving it in mixed mode leaving me with one non DC nt 4.0 server running exchange 5.5. I then plan to upgrade the OS on the last server to 2k server. At this point is where I have the questions and am looking for reference. After the last step do I then run ADC prior to upgrading to exchange 2k? Does the server running exchange need to be a DC? Do I need to have a different server with exchange 2k installed before running ADC? There are no hardware issues with the server running exchange so I cannot replace it. I have to use just the hardware I have now. My problem is that I read one thing on MS site and my books from Sybex and such say slightly different things which could be potentially devastating if this upgrade goes awry. So if someone can point to some reference and say this is absolutely what you need to do I would really appreciate it. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Imcoming mail and relaying logging
I am running exchange 5.5 sp3 on NT 4 sp6a. I would like to know if there is a way I can log the domains of all incoming mail on the IMS as well as log any attempt to relay. Had to add some domains that override relay restrictions and just want to monitor for a few days. Need to make sure that we are not allowing any spam to get to the domains that we are allowing to override. We are trying to implement SSL but having problems getting it to work on our programmers end. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Routing restrictions Exchange 5.5
Have an interesting problem. Currently have our exchange server locked down so that no one can route mail from outside the internal network. Now we are setting up remote monitoring PC's that are using the internet to send alerts. But obviously that will not work since they are outside the internal network. Inputting IP info for each machine is not desired as there are over 300 machines that will be doing this and their addresses may change. Looking for a means that these computers can authenticate to the server. This is something that can be inserted into the code of the software sending alerts. But I am not seeing a sure fire way to accomplish this. So to sum it up, exchange server is locked down so no system outside the internal network can route mail. Need to find a way that certain systems that are outside the internal network can route mail thru our server using some sort or authentication that is hard coded into our software. Or any other means that anyone can think of.

Outlook drops first address in TO: line
Have a user that when he types in more than 2 addresses in the TO: line it drops the first address. Did a test that had 4 seperate addresses that all come to me. The first address did disappear and the e-mail never arrived to that mailbox. This only happens with multiple addresses. If he sends an e-mail to that first mailbox alone it arrives fine. So not matter what the first address is, when 3 or more addresses are present the 1st one gets dropped every time.
