Server Recovery: Win2k / Exchange 5.5
Guys, I have done NT/E5.5 recovery. (the well known part1/part2 technet doc) However, I have never done W2K/E5.5 recovery. Currently need to do full server restore to recover deleted mail. Could someone give me the link to the technet articles, if any...can't find them..., on this topic. (need similar documents to 'MS Exchange Disaster Recovery Part 1, but for W2K/E5.5 thanks in advanced, Leonard Lee _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:leave-exchange;ls.swynk.com Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Server Recovery: Win2k / Exchange 5.5
Thanks Chris, The information I have found supports your comment. I am glad to hear it verified. So, I imagine it goes something like this: 1. Bring up a W2K DC. Sync. 2. Bring offline. This will act as W2K AD (call this w2kdc). 3. Bring up another Server (call this w2kmail). 4. Restore the system state from the Exchange 5.5 production server to w2kmail. 5. Install exchange binaries with setup/r...etc (follow part 1 / 2 process from hereetc) Does this sound correct? NT would have been easier...because all I needed to do was to bring up BDC, go offline, promote, rename, install, and restore. I don't think I can apply this to a W2K environment?

RE: Server Recovery: Win2k / Exchange 5.5
Thank you. Yes. I'm sleepy too :) I was confusing the process with Full Server restore... You are correct. Install, create new site, etc...that's outlined in the MS Exchange Disaster Recovery Part 1 article. My excuse, it's been a while since I had to do a server restore. How long? It's been so long I even forgot how to install E5.5 from a Select CD (ie. servermax.exe or servermin.exe, I'll bet some of you forgot that too)...took me 10 minutes to remember that one. Thanks, Leonard Lee If we are going after mailboxes only, why not just install 5.5 to a member server on the existing network, create a new site and org with the same names as the existing Exch Server, restore an online backup of the info store only to that server, run the Consistency Adjuster, assign an user account to the mailbox in question and open it up from Outlook? -Original Message- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:chris_scharff;messageone.com] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 5:32 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Server Recovery: Win2k / Exchange 5.5 I don't have my disaster recovery notes in front of me.

Traffic Management - Messaging Collaboration
Has anybody heard of http://www.dysanalytics.com ? They were at MEC 2002.

RE: RAS - Exchange 5.5 issue
Actually, it sounds like it works some of the time? (ie. Flaky and Intermittently connectsmeans what? Does it mean it works sometimes?) If it works some times and some times not, then I would suspect hardware cable issue. Replace modem and RJ11. If that does not resolve it then try a different dial out jack. Regafds, Leonard Looks like you are using a POP3 connector to retrieve mail rather than a method like ETRN. I've never used a POP3 connector, but since it's really nothing more than a POP3 client, it sounds like the user/pass combination is failing for some reason. -Original Message- From: Kulwinder [mailto:kulwinder.jutla;tfeurope.com] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 5:00 AM To: Exchange Discussions we have a dialup connection to our ISP for downloading mail, however its been very flaky and intermittently connects and sometimes it doesnt.

Re: OWA 5.5 E2K mailboxes
Is it possible to disclose the various reasons why you need OWA 5.5 instead of latest one? Money? Licensing? Regards, Leonard We are hitting a stumbling block in our plans to retire our old MSX 5.5 servers. Due to various reasons, we need to use OWA 5.5 to access E2K mailboxes for the next 6 months or so. Normally, we don't see any issues (well, very few) using OWA 5.5 (SP4) to access E2K mailboxes. However, if the OWA server is rebooted, E2K mailbox users get the following message when they attempt to connect: The Microsoft Exchange Server is down or the HTTP Service has been disabled by an administrator. Please try your request again later. This will continue until someone uses the OWA server to connect to an MSX 5.5 mailbox, then shazam! It will start connecting to E2K mailboxes just fine. No more problems until it is rebooted. I hate to have to keep an MSX 5.5 server around just to keep OWA working.

Re: Hardware Question
Compaq has done extensive performance testing of Exchange 2000 on their line of Proliant servers...and have published them. In the Compaq Active Answer Microsoft Exchange 2000 Performance and Configuration on Compaq ProLiant Servers, they did a comparison test of the 1MB vs. 2MB L2 cache. The result of the test is published in the paper. ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/partners/microsoft/infolib/dbappsolutions/13JQ-1000A-WWEN.pdf My personal opinion. A dual PIII 1.8 GHz 1MB L2 is more than enought to handle 1000 users. As others have suggested, concentrate more on buying more RAM...or faster SCSI drives. Concentrate on getting the Transaction logs onto their own RAID1 15Krpm spindle. If you have left over cash...spend it on a RAID 0+1 for the database drive. Regards, Leonard All, Our company is buying a new Exchange server. At the start running 5.5 hopefully migrating to E2K sooner rather than later. I was hoping that someone may be able to help me decide whether or not to invest in 1MB or 2MB L2 processor cache rather than buying the 512K L2 cache. This server over the next 5 years may be supporting up to 1,000 users and if someone could give me their opinions on whether 1MB or 2MB of cache will be needed or if the performance gain will even be seen with a server supporting 1,000 users I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been looking to buy a server with dual 1.8 Ghz/512K processors. I have priced other servers that are far more expensive with 1MB or 2MB cache. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: change in ADSI created two accounts?
Yes, it could be cache in DSAccess. I thought of that as a possiblity also. But that should be flushed out by now. Moreover, the puzzling thing is that users can still send the guy an email using the GAL..which uses DSAccess cache information? Never-the-less, there is no two accounts created for the mailbox. In Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 you can only have one mailbox per receipent object. That's because an Exchange 2000 mailbox is a unique attribute of a recipient object, which makes it a Mailbox-enabled recipient object. So, the problem is not two accounts, but some sort of cache information about the user account in the name resolution services Cheers, Leonard Lee -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Exchange Discussions Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 1:48 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: change in ADSI created two accounts?

RE: change in ADSI created two accounts?
Futher note: I just check the propoerties of my LegacyExchangeDN on my system, it is default to: Index this attribute in the Active Directory Ambiguous Name Resolution (ANR) Replicate this attribute to the Global Catalog This confirms that the LegacyExchangeDN value is used in resolving Ambiguous Name Resolution. Moreover, the fact that it is a GC value also means that it is surely in the DSAccess Cache. The only problem here is...I am not sure how you would flush that cachewhich would test the theory here. It may be that it is also cache in Outlook, as Louise has suggested as a possible cause, but I am not sure if that also caches the LegacyExchangeDN value?

Yes, it could be cache in DSAccess. I thought of that as a possiblity also. But that should be flushed out by now. Moreover, the puzzling thing is that users can still send the guy an email using the GAL..which uses DSAccess cache information? Never-the-less, there is no two accounts created for the mailbox. In Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 you can only have one mailbox per receipent object. That's because an Exchange 2000 mailbox is a unique attribute of a recipient object, which makes it a Mailbox-enabled recipient object. So, the problem is not two accounts, but some sort of cache information about the user account in the name resolution services Cheers, Leonard Lee -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Exchange Discussions Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 1:48 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: change in ADSI created two accounts?

RE: Burning PST files.
Andrew is correct about the Read Only Attribute. Robert, you actually have some choices: 1. Use CD-R/W instead of CDR disks. I would only do this if you already have CD-R/W capabilities on the clients system, otherwise this would not work and it would be cost prohibitive to upgrade the drives. 2. Add additional disk space to your file server system, and locate the large PSTs on the network file server. I personally like this idea, because it gives the Network Administrator the ability to backup the PST. The down side is increased network traffic and increased server disk utilization. 3. Add move disk space to the client's PC. Most companies adopt the 3 year lifecycle for workstations. That means 33% of all PC's are replaced every year. When replacing these PST hogs, make sure they get larger drives. Lastly, keep in mind, if the users are building large PST's (ie. 500MB+ PSTs, with over 20,000 items in it), you have another more serious problem. Corruption of the PST may cause them to loose everything (I have seen grown men cry in these situation...very sad to see).

RE: Migration to Exchange 2000
Here's a possible game plan to help reduce the stress of of migration. 1. Create an initial migration plan. Estimate budget requirements and get it approved early on. 2. Estimate Company messaging requirement for coming 2 - 3 years, then add 10% to the estimate. 3. Design your new Exchange 2000 system to meet item 2. 4. Obtain services from the likes of Microsoft Consulting Services or Compaq Global Services to help review your design. Ask the consulting company to answer the question, Does it meet your item 2 requirements? 5. The next step is to implement your design, there are two phases to this: 5.1 Phase I: This is known as a pilot phase. Here's where you buy the first half of your new production Exchange 2000 system...and the fun begins. 5.2 Phase II: By now, your entire IT department is on the new system...and the company is hearing good things about this new Exchange 2000everyone is excited and asking when will they be migrated to this awesome system you have builtthe not so fun work begins (depends on who you are actually...myself I love the work)...the migration begins.

We are currently very cash strapped but really do need to move on Exchange 2000 from our current Exchange 5.5 environment. We're spinning about 70Gb of Exchange data across two servers (50Gb/20Gb). There are about 1000 NT4 domain users in one domain and around 250 in a trusting domain. We have a serious server configuration we can deploy for Exchange itself to allow mailbox relocation to Exchange 2000 with recycling of the current servers as they are freed up. We have been offered several modern desktop systems which I'm contemplating deploying as domain controllers. The big argument against doing this would be disk failure intolerance - though we would software mirror across 2 IDE drives per machine. Has anyone any experience of this scenario as far as DCs are concerned? Would you offer any cautions from experience? I should say our current NT4 PDC is a fairly limited desktop box and the experience on what is a small domain has been completely OK.

Just try reapplying SP6a on top of an existing one which is most likely to be the cause. Also, since your Virtual Memory size will be as per your old RAM size. You need to reconfigure Virtual Memory size E.g.: try setting it to 600MB You also need to reapply Softpaq which comes with Compaq machines. For further information, please refer the documentation came along with Compaq. Awaiting your feedback. Warm Regards, Vmail Team So my question is has anyone ever had this problem and if so do you think I should do what they suggested above.

RE: Interorg tool doesn't work on E2k???HELP!!
Please read the following article. It should clear up any misunderstanding. Chapter 20 - Inter-Organization Replication and Directory Synchronization http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/TechNet/prodtechn ol/exchange/reskit/ex00res/deploygd/part5/c20inter.asp -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of RB Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 2:33 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Interorg tool doesn't work on E2k???HELP!! Leonard, the ADC (according to my understanding) only allows directories (i.e. addresses) to merge. The interorg tool allows synchronisation of DATA and routing topology to exist between organisations. This is what I need between e2k and e5.5. orgs. Ami I correct or have I missed something? Thanks for your help.

RE: EE 5.5 and 2000 in a mixed environment?
Yes, you can install Exchange 2000 in the same Exchange 5.5 organization... However, Meaning no disrespect, but it may be a better to approach the challenge by hiring an Exchange Architect for a few weeks and let him/her to study your needs, make recommendations, and plan execute the build. If money is no object, the best team to do this sort of work is Compaq Global Services or Microsoft Consulting Services. They do that sort of work. I believe you can find a number on their web site and try to get in touch with their IS team for your area.

Hi Group: Has anybody had any luck with running Exchange 5.5 and 2000 in the same environment? I have roughly 1400 users on 1 5.5 server now. I want to buy another server and move some of those people over. Can I add an Exchange 2000 server to the same domain? It will need to be seamless for the users. Are there any good articles on this?? I haven't found much so far. The hope would be to eventually upgrade the original server to 2000 when finances allow. I already have 400+ 2000 licenses so I might as well use them if I can.
