RE: Client problem
If you moved the mailboxes and shut down the original servers before the clients could update their profiles (to point to the new server), they have no way of finding where their mailbox has moved. If possible, start up the old servers again, and let them run for a week or so until the clients have logged in at least once and updated their profiles. If starting the servers is not an option, there's no other way except to update each client manually. Mike -Original Message- From: Ashraph, Elizabeth A.

Removed all references, replicas, free/busy connections, etc. before removing replication and site connectors. After removing the retired servers from the NT domains however, Outlook clients are hanging all over the place, seems to still be referencing the old servers somewhere. Anybody seen this before or have any ideas on how I would find and remove the references to the old site servers causing the clients to hang. Thanks.

RE: McAfee GroupShield 5.2
We use Webshield on a standalone machine, just to scan incoming mail before it hits the real Exchange server. It's been running like this for the past 6 months, and has performed very well. Same with Groupshield. I had some problems with the earlier versions, but the 4.5 version has worked very well on our Exchange 5.5 server for quite some time now. I just built our new Exchange 2000 machine last Friday, and installed Groupshield 5.2 on it. No problems so far. Every new release (4.0, 4.5, 5.0, etc.) has more than a few problems, so it seems their testing procedures leave much to be desired. But once they clean up the bugs (4.5sp1, 5.2) the product performs quite well. YMMV.

When we called NAI they said they don't recommend install groupshield and webshield on the same server. 2) Out of the box, Webshield is set to relay. The only way I figured this out was to stop webshield and then have my servers checked by all the anti spam companies (ORDB.org, etc). After calling NAI and really hammering the tech on the other line, he finally admitted that the product does relay. In the setup manual, there is a section that explains how to set webshield to accept mail from servers within your company. However, the instructions tell you it is not really necessary to do this. The instructions lie. The tech told me the instructions are not clear.

NDRs using Palm.net
We're running Exchange 5.5 w/ SP4, in case that matters. I'm starting our Exchange 2000 migration next week. Clients are various versions of Outlook, from 97 through 2002. I've got one user (a VP/lawyer) who uses a Palm device (model unknown at this time) and the Palm.net wireless service to send email to both internal and external recipients. By all accounts, his emails to external users of services like Yahoo Mail or Hotmail work perfectly. However, email to internal users, although delivered correctly, cannot be replied to - an NDR is generated. When the recipient clicks on Reply (using any version of Outlook), the To: field looks like: [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]. The address IS valid, but Outlook/Exchange is attempting use the entire string as an address (including the brackets and everything between them). Is there anything I can do in Exchange to get it to parse the address correctly, or is this strictly an issue with the configuration of his Palm? I've never worked with Palms before, and I'm trying to avoid looking like an idiot when I go up to speak with him. Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Anonymous messages in the outbound queue
No, a relay is when one outside party sends an email to a second outside party via your mail server, which is not the case here. The spammers send emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The problem is that userxxx doesn't exist on yourdomain.com. In addition, the From: field has been forged with a non-existant address, which causes your system's NDR to get bounced back to you as undeliverable. Does that help?

RE: Backing up Exchange 5.5
Assuming that you actually DO have the Exchange agent installed, on the Backup Selections tab in BackupExec, expand the entry for your mail server and you should see (among other things): Add-ins Address C$ connect$ D$ Microsoft Exchange Directory Microsoft Exchange Information Store Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes If you're doing brick-level-backups, you must be checking the Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes box. Instead, you *should* be checking the Microsoft Exchange Directory and Microsoft Exchange Information Store boxes. Checking those boxes will tell Backup Exec to back up the directory and the information store, respectively. If you do NOT see any of those boxes, then you do NOT have the Exchange agent installed.

RE: Communications failure
Get the senders on the old server to select the moved mailbox from the address book, instead of typing in the alias. Outlook caches resolved Exchange addresses which, in this case, is still pointing at the mailbox on the old server. Choosing the updated entry from the address book will fix the problem.

RE: Procedure to restore Exchange 5.5 from online backup
I've had consistent success with the following procedure. Test server is in a test domain, not production. (1) Build server - same Name, same IP address, same OS, same Sp level as production server. (2) Install Exchange with setup /R - specify new site with same Org and Site names as production. Do not reboot. (3) Install SP4 with Update /R. Do not reboot. (4) Install any post-SP4 hotfixes that the production box already has installed. Do not reboot. (5) Start up the System Attendant service. (6) Restore the DS and IS databases with Backup Exec, uncheck no loss restore on the Exchange tab When the restore completes... (7) Start the Directory service - wait until it's fully up and running. (8) Start the Information Store service - wait, it may take a while to start. You may even get an error if it takes too long, but keep waiting until it starts. (9) Start the MTA service. (10) Start the Event service (11) Start the Internet Mail service - this step I've had some trouble with, usually requiring me to delete and recreate the IMS. I keep a detailed log of all IMS settings. Hope that helps.
