Off-topic changing SMTP port on Exchange for spam filtering.
Exchange 5.5 Sorry if this came through twice. Had to change the text type and re-send. This is a little off-topic. We are about to deploy XWall for Exchange on our front end IMC relays. One of the requirements is that we change the smtp port for Exchange on the IMC's to use 24 since XWall will use port 25 and get the messages first. I guess my questions are: For users using POP or custom applications that are using the Exchange IMC as their relay host, how will changing the ports affect them? Have I just disabled POP by installing XWall? We have locked down all unused ports so I guess I need to open port 24 up to the front end and back end servers as well. Is there anything I need to be careful about or any other gotchas that I should know. _ 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]

RE: Icon's and piping username/domain/password.
I've already expressed the security concerns. They want to use the full blown outlook with each of them having their own icon on the same computer to click on and automatically log them into their separate mailbox.

You didn't say whether both of these accounts are regular Exchange accounts or other. If you set her up w/ Outlook Express for that, you can save the authentication in the accounts and all she would have to do is click on the 'send/receive' button. Might still have the issue of separating the mail between the two accounts though. If they are both Exchange server accounts, she can add the other mailbox to her Outlook profile and open them both at the same time. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links.htm#addtobar.

Exchange 5.5 OWA hangs, cannot stop/restart IIS question
Sorry if this comes in a second time. Tried posting and it didn't come through...sending as plain text this time. Exchange 5.5 SP4 on 2000 Server running OWA IIS 5.0. Have current security patches. Check version of CDO.DLL version 5.5.2655.79 CDOHTLM.DLL 5.5.2655.77 which seems to be current. Been battling with our OWA server for the last week or so. For no reason that I can determine, OWA just stops responding. It looks as if its trying to bring up the LOGON.ASP page but nothing displays and it just hangs. If you go in the services control panel and try to stop the World Wide Publishing Service it sits and eventually you get an error: 1053 service did not respond to a start or control request in a timely manner. Then if you try and kill the task manager and try and kill inetinfo.exe service you get a message: could not stop IIS Admin Service on local computer, access denied The only recourse I have is to reboot the bloody system to get it back up. I've looked at the logs and do not see anything unusual. Nothing in the event logs either. Really weird! This happened a few months back and then it suddenly cleared up.

If you go in the services control panel and try to stop the World Wide Publishing Service it sits and eventually you get an error: 1053 service did not respond to a start or control request in a timely manner. Then if you try and kill the task manager and try and kill inetinfo.exe service you get a message: could not stop IIS Admin Service on local computer, access denied The only recourse I have is to reboot the bloody system to get it back up.

Recovery Server NT Backup.
Exchange 5.5 SP4 We have a backup recover system we built to recover mailboxes. It's running 2000 and we have been able to restore to it, but we have had two occurrences when we told NT backup to restore to the our backup system, but the back started shutting down services on the originating system and trying to restore the Dir.EDB to the originating system. I know I didn't tell it to restore the Dir but only the info store, so I'm at a loss as to why it tried to restore back to the originating. This happened one other time as well. So what I would like to do to insure this does not happen again, is to restore to the local box without it being on the wire and insure it's not going back to the originating. My problem is that even though the tape drive is on the box it will not restore if I unplug it from the wire. Do I need to get a BDC and that box on a hub and then disconnect the hub from the wire for it to restore?

Well, No deleted items retention period is set. White space, the event log states that there is 1152 megabytes free space after online defragmentation.

Port blocking SMTP X.400
We're in the process of locking down ports for our Exchange 5.5 deployment. I've read the FAQ's and found ports required, but have a couple of questions.

I would think it should only be enabled for the servers with the IMC on it not on servers that only have mailboxes. X.400 TCP 102, Is this really required for Exchange Servers and if so what is it used for. Looking at TechNet, its used by older messaging systems? For PDC and BDC's with no Exchange.

RE: Port blocking SMTP X.400
Thanks this is good information as I learn little by little. Our IMC is on it's own separate box, so that would require port 25. The systems that house our users do not have a IMC's but pass mail to the dedicated IMC's, so they don't need port 25. X.400...since it's used internally by 5.5, sounds as if I need it on all the Exchange systems. -Original Message- From: Greg Deckler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 3:13 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Port blocking SMTP X.400 Without knowing exactly how you are configured, it is difficult to provide meaningful recommendations, but I'll give it a shot. In Exchange 5.5 if you do not have an IMC set up on it, then you should not need port 25. Same thing with X.400. If you are not running any X.400 connectors, then you should not need it. However, be a little careful here since Exchange 5.5, internally is X.400 based (Exchange 2000 internally is SMTP based) Those ports sound correct for the PDC and BDC, but I did not check to make absolutely certain.

Off topic DLT 7000 restore.
Somewhat off topic. We recently upgraded our servers to Windows 2000 server with SP3 running Exchange 5.5 SP5. The systems have DLT 7000's attached to them and I have a recovery server that I use for restoration that also has a DLT 7000.

I put the tape in and I get use cleaning tape. Looked at drivers and they are the same. Rebuilt the system twice now no luck. I'm using an Adaptec driver and I lowered the speed to 20 and that didn't do it. I verified both systems are at the same service pack. My test box is pretty old, but it worked with NT. I took the tapes back over to the production box, and it see's them fine. If I take some older tapes and put them in, the DLT 7000 at least recognizes that there is old tape and allows me to format them.

Locking of Exchange ports question.
Exchange 5.5 SP4, NT 2000. We are finally going to be moving our Exchange deployment into a safe zone. The servers will be put into it's own secure segment that will have a firewall for internal and external users. We are requiring users to use a VPN client if they are coming in from an ISP, but we also want to try and safeguard the systems internally from the students as well, such as the dorms. Anyhow, we're looking at locking down all the ports on the Exchange Servers as well and only open ports that are required. I know I'll have to assign static ports for the MSEXCHANEDS, IS and SA TCPIP as defined Q148732. It recommends using ports above 5000, so I was going to use 5001, 5002 and 5003 and I presume that a reboot will be required. The one item which cannot be locked down is the push notification messages and UDP ports 1024-65535. I talked to our firewall expert and asked if those ports can be blocked from coming in but not for going out. Does this make sense or is there another way of securing those ports a little better. Anyone have any other advice prior to us cutting over.

IMC as relay system (off topic)
Exchange 5.5 SP4. Sorry to post this again. Maybe someone new has some information. Well the system that processes the @UC.EDU aliases for the University finally took a big hit. Its a VMS system running PMDF and is run in a different department. We've been asked to look at alternative replacement systems. The system is processing about 40,000 inbound messages a day. I really like the Exchange IMC since it's menu driven and I have monitors in place that can page when something happens. Also it does some validation work, such as SMTP address already used and so forth. Couple of questions. 1) Is anyone else shoving 40,000+ inbound messages through an IMC? We would have a dedicated box for this function in the existing site and would only be used for inbound messages destined for @UC.EDU. It would also route messages to other e-mail systems such as our student POP/Unix based messaging system for those users whos alias points to an alternate system. 2) Is there some other 3rd party product that is user friendly (versus text updates) that might be a good replacement that anyone might want to recommend? 3) We could go with a Linux system with an SMTP mailer. We do have a administrator on staff here that runs the POP system and a Linux deployment was mention. I don't like the fact that its line based and additions are not immediate and require recompiling (maybe don't have that term right). Thanks!

UDP port probe after moving mailboxes to new 5.5 Server.
Exchange 5.5 SP4 We just installed a new Exchange 5.5 server under Windows 2000 and are moving mailboxes onto the new system. I've had a few users who are running blackice on the desktop that are now stating that their accounts are receiving a UDP probe from the new mail system and they are wondering why that is occurring.

RE: UDP port probe after moving mailboxes to new 5.5 Server.
UDP ports 1923, 1068, 1087. Looks as if it might be random ports.

RE: NT 2000 backup of Exchange.
Sorry for having it reposted. Spent the last 3 hours getting it automated and getting the tapes ready. The only thing we could not get to work was the Eject process. This is a LTO drive and when we tried the RSM.EXE eject PF BACKUP - 1 /astart we get the following error. Changer has not IE ports. Door Access Failed. This isn't a auto-changer and an LTO doesn't have a tab to flip to eject the tape like a DLT. TechNet hasn't been much help on this one either. It's not critical that it is automatically ejected, but would help since operations would see the tape is already ejected and would not have to press that button. -Original Message- From: Ken Cornetet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 2:04 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: NT 2000 backup of Exchange.

Reverse DNS and Exchange
Exchange 5.5 I'm a little confused on Reverse DNS. I kind of understand the concept that with Reverse DNS enabled the Mail from: entry must resolve to a valid domain or it will get rejected. Some I have some basic questions: I take it Exchange 5.5 does not support Reverse DNS? How about Exchange 2000? How effective is Reverse DNS to help the control of Spam? What problems/issues will we encounter if we do implement reverse DNS in some for on front end servers whatever it may be? What about users who have POP and have their return address set to be something other than their ISP but they use the ISP as the relay? When they state the Mail From: they mean the From: in the display area and not all the routes? If you have a front end relay like PMDF/VMS which relays first.last@domain to a messaging system, reverse DNS will not prevent spam to the receiving systems since it will also validate from the relay?

RE: Which is better trend with ESE API or AVAPI/MAPI ???? For Exc hang e 5.5
We just cut over to the ESE version about 2 weeks ago. Was a little reluctant since the initial release of the product had some issues, but that seems to have been cleared up. We have 6,400+ users on two systems, so cutting over to the ESE version really reduced the load on the system sense we do not have the REALSCAN.EXE for every 200 mailboxes. Also, the system does not have to log into everyone's mailbox on startup, so we can now perform our audits a little easier for inactive accounts. Also the ESE gave us back the send/recipient information for virus cleaning which the AVAPI version inhibited. Overall, I would recommend the ESE versus the AVAPI/MAPI version. -Original Message- From: Soysal, Serdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 10:38 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Which is better trend with ESE API or AVAPI/MAPI For Exc hang e 5.5 We've been pretty happy with ESE API as well.

Exhange/BDC tape backup question.
Exchange 5.5 sp4. Here's is my question. We have one PDC which serves as a IMC as well as an OWA server. We currently have a second system with is our BDC which also has IMC and OWA on it. Currently both systems have backup tape units and tapes rotated on the nightly basis. The BDC needs to be replaced and the question posed to me by management is do we need a tape drive. Management would like to get a 1u Dell (doesn't come with tape) and put it in the rack with our dedicated Exchange Servers. I have never put a production system in place without a tape unit. I can backup the Exchange DB's from one of our other Exchange servers, but I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is of not have a backup unit on this box and would there be any problems/issues that you could think of.

Exchange 2,000 scalability question.
Well, First let me apologize for the vagueness of this question. Just starting to read up on Exchange 2000. I've been asked by management to spec out the possibility of deploying Exchange 2,000 to all users on our campus (40,000 users). I'm reading Tony Redmond's book on Exchange 2000 and it mentions on page 21 that on 5.5 maximum user community was in reality about 3,000 per server for a 8 way. I know that really depends on the server setup, user load, etc. Our Dell 8650's with 2-550mhz processors and 2 gig of memory is handling about 3,000 users per server with 20 meg quotas per mailbox. They are active accounts (light to medium), so the 3,000 seems to match up since our system CPU utilization averaging about 80-90% during peak times. On the same page it states that Exchange 2000 states about 10,000 for a single node cluster. I'm wondering if anyone had opinions on this issue.

RE: Exchange 2000 scalability question.
One change, Our Dells are 6350's not 8650's. -Original Message- From: Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 2:13 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2,000 scalability question. Well, First let me apologize for the vagueness of this question. Just starting to read up on Exchange 2000. I've been asked by management to spec out the possibility of deploying Exchange 2,000 to all users on our campus (40,000 users). I'm reading Tony Redmond's book on Exchange 2000 and it mentions on page 21 that on 5.5 maximum user community was in reality about 3,000 per server for a 8 way. I know that really depends on the server setup, user load, etc. Our Dell 8650's with 2-550mhz processors and 2 gig of memory is handling about 3,000 users per server with 20 meg quotas per mailbox. They are active accounts (light to medium), so the 3,000 seems to match up since our system CPU utilization averaging about 80-90% during peak times. On the same page it states that Exchange 2000 states about 10,000 for a single node cluster. I'm wondering if anyone had opinions on this issue. What is different about Exchange 2000 that allows for more users per system. Is this do to coding changes in the store.exe or is it based on multiple stores per server? Given we can get about 3,000 users per Exchange 5.5, I'm wondering what the actual limit would be for Exchange 2000 per server.

Outlook error on free/busy data.
Exchange 5.5 SP4 Got a user that is getting the enclosed error at times when accessing Outlook. Looking at Technet, I found article Q247972 which states that the Schedule + Free Busy Public Folder does not have Editor for Default Permissions. I check the folder and the settings are correct. The schedule+ free busy folder is on another server than the users mailbox. Does it make sense to replicate that information to the other server? I almost sounds like a communication issue between the users mailbox and the folder on the other server. Any other suggestions? Unable to update public free/busy data. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object. See the folder contact or your system administrator.

IMS Outbound mail hangs, IMS service does not respond.
I just upgraded our server to NT 4.0 SP6A and Exchange 5.5 SP4. Now one of our servers that houses the Internet Mail Service seems to stop processing mail every two weeks or so. My link monitors show the outbound queue stacking up mail, and when you try to stop the IMS service it says service does not respond. You have to reboot the processor then everything clears up fine.

AVAPI Scanning question.
Exchange 5.5. We recently upgraded to ScanMail 3.52 and are running in AVAPI as well as MAPI mode. I'm a little confused on how the AVAPI works when it comes to cleaning and notifications. I know that you lose the sender and recipient information and I'm wondering why that is the case? Is it that MS did not put the hooks in for software companies to get that information in their AVAPI scanners?

Off topic: EXPLORER.EXE 100% CPU
This is going to be a little off topic, but I thought I would post it in case someone ran into it as well. I have ScanMail moving infected files. One of the files that was moved into the \VIRUS area was a FUN.MP3 that is listed as a short cut. I cannot delete due to a sharing violation (believe ScanMail still has locked). Once you try to delete or look at the attributes, your NT workstation jumps up to 100% CPU utilization for EXPLORER. Even disconnecting the mapped drive does not clear EXPLORER.EXE and the only way to get your workstation back is to reboot. I duplicated this on 3 NT workstations. Two running NT 4.0 sp6a one running sp5. Took me 3 days to determine what was causing my workstation to go crazy. I sure won't clear the areas from the server console. I can just see me killing the box!

ScanMail 3.52 AVAPI MAPI mode.
Well I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to ScanMail 3.52. I currently have it running in AVAPI mode as well as MAPI mode. I was hoping that the MAPI mode would not create a realscan process for every 200 accounts that it logs into, as it did in the old version, but looks as if I'm wrong. Are the majority of the users who have 3.52 running in both modes or are most just running in AVAPI or MAPI? Also, has anyone seen problems running in both modes other than additional overhead on the system? I know the pro's and con's of each, just wondering what everyone else is doing.

But the ESE methodology of scanning bypasses several of the more annoying limitations of the 1.0 version of the AVAPI found in Exchange 5.5. You get access to not only the attachments, but also the message body and sender/recipient information using the ESE method. I don't believe that eManager works with 3.72 yet (could be wrong, feel free to correct me) so the content filtering aspect might not be attractive at this point, but knowing who the sender and recipient are of infected messages can be a useful feature.
