RE: Store.exe in Task Manager

2003-10-22 Thread Mike Scott
Kurt,

This is totally normal.
Store.exe grabs all the memory it needs, but is well behaved about
giving it back as the system requires it.

Regards,
Mike

Subject: Store.exe in Task Manager

Using: W2K sp3 + Exch 2K sp4.
When I look in Task Manager I see that the store.exe process has a size
of
about 700 MB. When I reboot my server and I look again to the store.exe
process it only has a value of 25 MB.

Is there a way to do this manually in stead of rebooting? Ok, I could do
this probably by restarting the services, but is it also possible to act
without stopping the services. (And maybe an extra: how come?)

Many thaks
Kurt

Sounds like Mimail virus -

I suggest you update your anti-virus protection, this has been around

The public folder was deleted through the ESM utility, not via Outlook.

It looks like I'll be building a recovery server, air-gapped from the

RE: Memory leak store .exe

2003-02-17 Thread Mike Scott
Marc,

Exchange's Store.exe will use up all the physical RAM it can get.
However, it is generally well behaved when giving it back to other
processes that need it. Are you seeing errors on the server?
Your conector server probably isn't exhibiting this behaviour since
Store.exe isn't doing much.

 We have an exchange server where the store.exe seems to be

 We also have another server that runs in tandem with the

Why do you feel this is a memory leak rather than normal behaviour?

RE: Memory leak store .exe

2003-02-17 Thread Mike Scott
Marc,

As mailboxes get accessed, messages moved in and out and so on, RAM
usage will increase. This is normal. A quick search on the MS KB for
'store memory' will give some articles describing instances where things
are going wrong, but from the information we have here I don't think
that's the case.

RE: Outlook over VPN - MTU issue? - problems with Q301337 fix?

2003-02-12 Thread Mike Scott

Ronni,

Given that your other VPN clients work OK except this one I think I'd be
looking at the specifics of this guys VPN and network setup and start
with the simple stuff like the Watchguard traffic monitor and logs to
see if anything's getting blocked and with the name resolution and
dialup performance at the client end, rather than diving in with a bunch
of hotfixes.

We have a very similar setup here, and these tools fix pretty much all
these issues here.

Just my approach,
Mike

Subject: Outlook over VPN - MTU issue? - problems with Q301337 fix?


We are a one Exchange 5.5 server shop. A few months ago I began the
process of moving us to a new server. New hardware, new name, following
Ed's Move Server Method which I have already done once without issue on
NT4 to NT4. This time we moved to Windows 2000 for the new server's OS.
New server is therefore Exch 5.5 SP4 on Win2k SP2 + security fixes and
old server was/is Exch 5.5 SP4 on NT4 SP 6a + security fixes. I moved
mailboxes over the course of a few days and everyone was fine, running
happily without issues, except for one guy (the n-sigma where n is a
big number guy of course) whose home machine couldn't connect fully to
the new mail server over VPN as it had when it was on the NT4 box. It
does make connections to the Exchange Server. I can see that with
netstat -a on either side but it does not appear to transfer data. He
uses a software vpn client to connect to our network. So at first I was
ready to blame the MTU issue and make the modifications necessary to
correct that. However, when I researched it, it seemed as though I
should be having the same problem with all the clients that use vpn. Now
some of my vpn clients have an appliance (Watchguard SOHO at user's home
connects to our Watchguard Firebox) and some have the software client.
Those with the appliance might not see the issue but my box at home uses
the software client (SafeNet created for Watchguard) and it works fine
as do all the SOHOs. The only pertinent difference I can see between my
n-sigma user's connection and mine is that he uses dial-up and I use a
dsl line. I have also verified that this is dial-up related in that a
second user also has the issue with dial-up access.

I have googled. I have technetted. I have searched archives. I have
found/done the following:

I have read Q301337 PMTU Detection May Not Work After You Install
Windows 2000 SP2 and while it appears to be the most pertinent, I am
leery of adding a fix that until recently was not available except
through PSS just to fix 2 people's e-mail access from home. Certainly it
is true that our software vpn assigns an address on the same subnet to
the client pc. But that is true for my machine as well, so I am also not
100% convinced that this will solve my issue. Has anyone here installed
the Q301337 hotfix Q301337_W2k_SP3_x86_en.exe on a Windows 2000 SP2
Exchange Server and found that it caused problems? If not I am willing
to try it. But I find myself a bit nervous about that Uninstall is not
available note at the bottom of the download page. I do not have a
server I can test with at the moment. If I get no positive feedback on
this fix I may decide to build one first. Positive feedback about this
fix would be appreciated as I am not sure where I can find a box to
build a temporary test Exchange Server out of.

Following Q159211 Diagnoses and Treatment of Black Hole Routers I did
find a breakdown at an MTU of about 1200 for the n-sigma user's machine
over dial-up and at 1450 for the other user's machine so I am reasonably
certain MTU is a factor.

I reviewed Q259783 PPPoE with ICS Requires MTU Setting Below 1492 on
the ICS Client however, neither user is running ICS, nor is either one
running PPPoE.

Q120642 TCP/IP  NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows seems to
indicate that I could add the MTU value for the dialup adapter to solve
this problem but that has not worked for the second user and Q3031337
seems to indicate it might be ignored anyway due to the way the software
VPN client behaves.

Any other suggestions/pointers will be gratefully received.

RE: OWA Authentication Problem

2003-01-06 Thread Mike Scott
Niki,

Does IIS have the correct domain listed as the default for NT logons?
I've seen something similar where IIS seemed to 'forget' the domain
setting. Also, although you're using domain logins,I'd check the IUSR
account isn't locked out - worth a look.

Regards,
Mike

Subject: OWA Authentication Problem


Hello

Have a frustrating problem that's greeted me back to work

Running Exchange Server 5.5 on NT Server 4 with SP6a

No problems prior to christmas, all that has happened to the server over
the break is one of the techs have applied the latest critical updates
as recommended on windows update, no idea if its related to this problem

Basically, some remote users cannot access email through OWA where they
could before no problem

I can log into their accounts here via OWA no problem, and theres too
many people with the same problem for it to be a mistyped password Issue

Its only affecting users that dial in to our NT4 RAS Server (not the
same server as the one running OWA). I've tried from home lunchtime and
can access their email no problem, I'm running XP Pro at home and access
via VPN, or alternatively can connect straight to the OWA server across
the internet without the need for the VPN. I mention this as I suspected
it might be to do with the dialin machines not being members of our NT
domain

It doesn't seem to matter whether the OS is Win2k or NT, same problems
experienced

I've tried with the username on its own, as well as in the format;

OURDOMAIN\username

But still the same

At a bit of a loss right now

This is the error recorded in Event Viewer on the OWA server, though I
suspect it the generic 'you typed your password wrong, stupid' error

Didn't seem to yield anything applicable on technet

Source: W3SVC
EventID: 100

The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'useraccount' due
to the following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad
password. 
The data is the error code.

RE: MessageLab's managed email security service feedback

2002-11-01 Thread Mike Scott
Brian,

We have been using the anti-virus service since late 1999, and it is very good. We 
have had no infected messages into our Exchange system in that time. We have about 150 
recipient addresses and typically 20 to 30 messages are intercepted per week. Cost is 
an issue at £1 per e-mail address but we feel it's money well spent. They also seem to 
react well to new infections, but do occasionally get a false detect on a message and 
trap it incorrectly.

We havn't tried the anti-spam service but I'd recommend the anti-virus.

Set up all the remote users in MAPI (ie Exchange) mode, and set them to
work offline, and to syncronize every 10-15 minutes. That will manage
your connect time very well.

I'd also spring for a real circuit at the central location, but that's
just me - it might not fit the budget.

 Would you suggest all users connect with outlook in 'Exchange Mode' as

 Our ADSL is capped at 256k upload from the central office, and in my
 experience, those who are configured to connect to the central server 
 over ADSL (i.e. roaming laptop users) find it quite slow. At least in 
 this config, users have local, faster access to their mail stores and 
 public folders, and the slow mail transfer happens 'behind the scenes'
 
 I would prefer to work with one server, but would appreciate some

 No. Move the mailboxes to your central site, and save the cost of 5 
 Exchange servers.
 
 I have had plenty of 20 person offices hitting Exchange across WAN 
 links without issue. In fact, I have 2 offices going half way across 
 Europe, with 30 users each, to the only office there that can support
 Exchange (from an
 admin standpoint).
 
 Personally, I think a server for less than about 40-50 users is 
 insane.

I'll do one site at a time, and will indeed use this method as I have
successfully in the past (actually by logging on as said user and
exporting to PST via outlook)

What concerned me though was, although this is fine for relocating the
mailboxes back to head office, when the users carry out the first
synchronisation, we'll still have this problem as the store is pulled
back across the ADSL

Unless I'm missing something

Subject: new users do not show up in Store


Hello all,
   I am having a problem with my exchange server 2000 Sp2 running on
Windows 2000 Advanced Server Sp2.  When  I create a new user or contact
through the AD Users and Computers their mailbox does not show up in the
Exchange Storage Group in the Exchange Manager as well the the Global
Address List.  There are no errors in my event log that would point to a
problem. does anyone have any suggestions or had this problem in the
past

Thanks,

RE: The day after superbowl

Curling may not be as high speed or as violent as ice hockey, but it can
be exciting none the less.

Subject: RE: The day after superbowl

A good friend of mine has been a volunteer with the Salt Lake City
olympic committee for years, and has been doing tons of work in
preparation.

Guess what he is assigned to do for the duration of the games...He gets
to keep an eye on radio and TV communications at the curling event,
which apparently is the longest event of the games (like 14 days or
something).

If for any reason there happens to be *ANY* TV or radio broadcast from
the curling site, don't be suprised to hear giggling in the background
from him as he watches grown men chase a big sinker down an ice runway
desperately sweeping stuff out from in front of it. The giggling will be
coming from a guy named Bob. If he isn't giggling, he'll be snoring.

 haha, correction - the only 'real football' game worth watching is the
 one that actually _is_ football, you know, the one based around using
 your feet to kick the ball...
 
 seriously, i do really like 'american football', but it's a bit
 stop-start and there are way too many stats and ad-breaks.
 
  
  The only real football game worth watching any more is Army-Navy.

RE: Restricting use of MSN Messenger

2002-02-01 Thread Mike Scott


Instant messenger programs have a habit of using things like port 80,
that you probably don't want to block. Most firewall vendors will have
technotes for blocking the commonest IM programs though. Try yours.

RE: average lifespan server

2002-01-24 Thread Mike Scott

Kim,

A server is only worthless after 3 years if the load on it has outgrown
it's capacity, or it's becoming difficult to maintain the hardware. We
have several machines around 5 years old, happily running along doing
their jobs. One of my mottos is 'if it ain't broke don't fix (or
replace) it'.

RE: Exchange 2000 as a file server (IXFS, Web Folder, http://server/public/files)

2002-01-18 Thread Mike Scott

Jean-Francois,

We tried it here as well and were very disappointed with the results. It
would have been really good to have a single file-store accessible with
a variety of clients, but alas IFS just doesn't work very well. A real
shame.

Subject: Exchange 2000 as a file server (IXFS, Web Folder,
http://server/public/files)

does anyone use EX 2k as a file server to have one central location for
accessing files on the road  or from the office ?

I tried to create a network shortcut in w2k Pro and XP Pro, connecting
to
http://server/public/files

It was prompting very often for authentification.
I could drag files to that folder but was having error when saving file
from
Word or Excel... But could drag those .doc or .xls file to the folder
manually

From what I understand, I heard that sharing a Folder from the M drive
could
be dangerous (corruption of the exchange database)

We must create webFolder if we want to hare ordinary folder within our
w2k
server.  but for exchange public Folder I was expecting that it would
work
smoothly...

Any comment is appreciated...

JF

Peter,

There's an article
(http://www.microsoft.com/Exchange/techinfo/deployment/2000/BestIndexing

you all you need to know. I ended up using a utility called Catutil to
move the index file locations off my C: drive altogether.

Subject: E2K full-text indexing

Hi,

I have 2 E2K sp1 w2k sp2 servers with full-text indexing enabled on the
private store. One of them went down the other day reporting c: drive
full. After some seaching we found 5 GB worth of Exel files in
c:\winnt\temp\gthrsvc. It is looks like when the indexing is running it
will make a copy of all exel files found in the store. Checked the other
server and it is the same. Deleting the files did not seems to have any
advers effect on the server but I'm not looking forward to delete them
manualy. The name of the files are the original name prepended by a hex
number, like A56Bmyoriginalfile.xls. I checked technet w/o any luck. Did
somebody see this problem?

TIA

/Peter
