Well... Ximian with the exchange connector has the advantage of being able
to view/edit the calendar, tasks, etc... it's very similar in appearance to
outlook.

Quite a few of our Linux people use it.

(it's really going through OWA to get to the additional folders (calendar,
tasks)).

Seems to work quit well here.

Mabye I'm just a little naïve, but since Exchange supports IMAP, why not use
a unix IMAP client?  There are dozens of good unix IMAP clients out there
(Netscape Messenger being one of them...).

Their website says they support Mandrake 9.1.  Maybe Ximian have just not
updated their site to include 9.2?  Wasn't 9.2 only released in October? Did
you ask one of their sales people?

Hi,

You can use Ximian Evolution http://www.ximian.com/products/evolution/
with their Exchange Connector http://www.ximian.com/products/connector/
for Exchange 2000 or 20003.  The client is free, but the Connector will cost
you.  I think it costs around $25US per client. I use Evolution on my linux
desktop, and it has a very Outlook-y feel.

Cheers,
Allison W.

Greetings!

Is anyone familiar with a client that will interact with Exchange on the
Unix/Linux platform (specifically Mandrake)? I am looking for the same
functionality (or similar) as to Outlook.

Any comments or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi All

Just a heads up about a new virus (or possibly a variation of an
existing one) we received. The virus executed when a user unzipped the
the details.zip file. Furthermore there was a text file with what looks
like a random letter generated name. We scan zip files, but nothing was
picked up.
The virus disables Trend AV on the client, plus it disables Regedit,
Task Manager and a couple more like those utils. The pc pretty much
comes to a standstill after that.
We are running the latest Trend AV on our Exchange server plus the
latest Office Scan on the desktops. Our pc's are pretty much up-to-date
with Microsoft patches too.
Trend just advised us that they are developing a new patch for this
virus/variation of a virus.

Plse be on the lookout for updates from your AV suppliers.

Off-topic changing SMTP port on Exchange for spam filtering.

2003-10-29 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (pfeffepe)
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.

We have a new president coming into the University who has some unusual

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.  I
know...it's scary, but I'm not going to tell the new President of the
University no.  I feel like a little worm on a big hook (crow).

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.

Oh, and that 'bother' with putting in login information, in general
terms that's a security issue, though some CEOs never heard of the
topic.  Has something to do with why the @#$% logins and passwords are
required in the first place.  Sheesh.

Port 25 failing on IMC due to SOBIG.

2003-08-21 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (pfeffepe)

Exchange 5.5.

We've been getting hammered by the SOBIG virus here.  In the last hour both
the systems that house our IMC failed on port 25 and I had to reboot.  I
pretty sure it's due to the flood of messages we are encountering.  SOBIG
count was 35,000 day before yesterday 45,000 yesterday.  Any suggestions?
I've talked to our firewall guy and he can't filter the notification out, so
I'm looking for other options.  What about increasing the number of connects
on the IMC?

RE: 3 Layers of Virus protection.

We will have 4 levels shortly, using 3 different vendors.

1. Have TrendMicro on the Exchange Servers for the mailboxes.
2. Have McAfee for file scanning on the server level (saved our butts a
couple of times).
3. Have McAfee on the Desktop level.
4. Soon to have Mirapoint installed as front end relays to our IMC's which
uses Sophos virus scanner.

My current assignment has me at a place where they are comfortable with

and Trend on the SMTP servers. My gut feeling is to also protect the IS

This is very strange and I'm at a complete loss as to what the problem is.
As of yesterday, 3 out of 53 computers all connected the same or similar way
with the same OS and Outlook client... are encountering one or more of the
following problems:

Server: Exchange Server 5.5 with latest patches
Workstations: Windows 2000 with SP3 or 4 - all patched for Blaster worm.
Outlook 2002

1. Very long delays in viewing messages at times (though quite often).  The
message, Requesting Data from Microsoft Exchange Server appears and
requires a very long time before it completes.  It's like being on a very
slow MODEM connection.  I have sense attempted to re-establish the client
connection by removing their profile.  Upon entering the client name and
clicking check name, the workstation can no longer see the Exchange server
at all. 

2. Connecting a client (Outlook connecting to Exchange Server setting) is
impossible.  Typing the user name and clicking check name takes over 5
minutes before the message, Exchange Server unavailable appears or
Outlook could not log on. Check to make sure you are connected to the
network and are using the proper server and mailbox name.

All systems can browse the Internet and also
ping the MS Exchange server and telnet to port 25 on the Exchange Server
from both internally and externally.  I've attempted connecting to the
Server's name, its specific IP address... nothing seems to work from Outlook
or its client configuration program.

What has happened since last Wednesday that is causing problems on only 3 of
53 workstations?

I'm at a loss!!

Help please!

Scott,

What was your original issue?  There is an ongoing argument on GroupShield
versus ScanMail at our site.  Management keeps pressing to cutover to
GroupShield to save money since we have a site license for the campus that
includes Exchange.

For those of you who care, after many sleepless nights, it turns out my
problem came down to good old Groupshield for Exchange.  Needless to say
it's gone now.  Is Scanmail still the defacto?  I would like to get the
best antivirus package out there.  Thanks, Scott.

Exchange 5.5 OWA hangs, cannot stop/restart IIS question

2003-08-14 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (pfeffepe)
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.  Before I call MS I though I would run it by the
Exchange Listserv to see if anyone else has encountered this problem.

Thanks for the replies but what I am looking for is documentation to show to

Is there any type of Best Practices or any Limitations due to whatever
issues that it would be recommended for an Exchange Mailbox and/or
Information store not to get HUMONGOUS  We are trying to enforce limits
but we need some Document/White Paper that would let us know what we
recommend as max size for an Information store or a Mailbox to use that as a
Point of Discussion of why to enfore limits?

I know that Exchange Standard is 16 Gig, On Enterprise if it can get to a
terrabyte(S) or more?  Why would it not be recommended (Have large I/S and
mailboxbes) besides Recovery time would be slow?  What other points can be
brought up that are DOCUMENTED of why not to have such a large information
store or Mailboxes?

Any help is appreciated!

Off topic ScanMail Notifications to Sender.

2003-07-11 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (pfeffepe)
This is a little off topic.  Running Scanmail 3.80 engine 6.510 pattern 587.
When a external user sends an infected message to lets say 30 users and only
one is on our Exchange, scanmail cleans that message but sends a
notification message back to all 30 users stating it cleaned it?

Man that doesn't sound right to me.  I spoke to Trend and they said that is
how it works and it always worked that way.  I recently customized the
recipient notification message to contact our help desk but I didn't think
that external users would get it.  Anyone else run into this issue?

Turning off when we have an outbreak of a new virus that spoofs like KLEZ

Actually, a reasonable compromise for Antigen users is to disable

We did something similar at the University of Cincinnati.  I created a

Recovery Server NT Backup.

2003-02-20 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)
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?

Pole on largest PRIV.EDB size?

2003-01-23 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)
Exchange 5.5 SP4

I'm curious to find out what other Exchange Administrators see for the
Private Info Store database size and what backup solutions that they are
using?  

Ours largest Private DB is 70 Gig and we're using Dells PowerVault 110T and
NT backup.

I think my wife would probably object to that.  Of course if that means I

Mailbox Resources and Total K column.

2003-01-22 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)
Exchange 5.5 SP3.

Confused!  We have about 3032 users on a system and the Private store is
currently 65 Gig.  I'm looking at the Mailbox Resources and tallied up the
total K for all users and I came up with 25 gig for storage and an average
of 32 gig per user.  

I would have thought that the total gig for all users would be larger than
my DB size since there is single message occurrence.  I must be missing
something on this.  The reason I'm wondering is that we are increasing
everyone's quota on the servers and I'm trying to calculate worst case
scenario for disk capacity.

Well,

No deleted items retention period is set.
White space, the event log states that there is 1152 megabytes free space
after online defragmentation.
That leaves the resource information being notoriously inaccurate.  

This doesn't even come close to what we have allocated in the DB.  25 gig
reported versus 65 gig actual.

There are some things you need to take into account:

1) Deleted items retention
2) White space - the stores grow as needed, but do not shrink.  If enough
data is deleted to create space it is left as white space unless you
manually compact the database.
3) The resources information is notoriously inaccurate.

It depends on other factors as well, the number and sizes of your
tracking logs, the number of transaction logs on the server, are you
indexing your message stores

I'm currently backing up 164 Gbytes of data, that's a public folder
store, three message stores in one storage group, tracking logs,
transaction logs, indexes, etc. on one LTO-1 tape.

Be advised, you may need to update the drivers on the PERC card and the
SCSI card connecting the LTO tape unit in order to get decent
performance out of it. The default Win2K drivers for the SCSI cards have
a bug in them.

I ran across this about 4 years ago. The solution was to uninstall OWA,
reinstall OWA, then re apply the SP.  Not sure if this would work for you
but OWA on 5.5 sometimes would act strangely for no reason and this is what
a call to MS did back then. I do remember after upgrading the hardware it
went away, but that also included a complete rebuild of the server too.

 Exchange 5.5 SP4 NT 4.0 and 2000.

 We've been having problems with our Outlook Web Access and IIS failing.  I
 have 3 systems now that are periodically failing.  One is running NT 4.0
 sp6a, and I can stop/restart the services and users still cannot get in.
I
 have to reboot to get OWA to start and accept queries again.  I do get an
 event 115 stating the service could not bind instance 1.  The data is the
 error code message.

 On two other systems with Windows 2000 SP3 and fully patched, the IIS just
 stops for no apparent reason and the IIS Admin Service restarts IIS using
 the iisreset.exe.  I kind of recall someone stating that there may be a
 security patch that may have induced some problems to IIS/OWA?

 I also have the CDO patch q289606 installed and I also have McAfee
excluding
 all Exchange directories as well as the c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv
 directories on the systems.

You import a ~DEL in the field (without the quotes)
and then, in the next line if you want to, add back
the addresses you want.

You make it the reply address by importing it into the

old reply address will NOT become a proxy address; you
must add it as a proxy as well.

Subject: removal of secondary SMTP address


I apologize if this got posted before.  I didn't see
it come through and I checked the archives.

Exchange 5.5 SP4

We are starting to experiment putting in a secondary
SMTP address for selected users ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).  I
can add a secondary smtp address using the
Secondary-Proxy-Addresses field in a CSV.  But for the
life of me I can't figure out how to clear it if I
need to.  

Also, I can't figure out how to easily make it the
reply address unless I modify the entire
Proxy-Addresses field in the CSV.  

Is my only option writing a script file.  I've written
some VB code for other items I could not perform in a
CSV as well.

Port blocking SMTP X.400

2002-11-21 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)
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.

If you have a Exchange Server with no IMC on it just mailboxes do you need
TCP 25 SMTP enabled.  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.  What ports do I need for those guys
since they only perform authentification.  Would that be TCP 137  139?

RE: Port blocking SMTP X.400

2002-11-21 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)
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.

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.

And again, without knowing your configuration and what you are trying to
do with these systems, it is very difficult to provide any concrete
advice.

 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

Off topic DLT 7000 restore.

2002-11-18 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)
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.

After upgrading the boxes to 2000 SP3 (including my recovery box), the
backup tape drive on the recovery system will not recognize the any tapes
from the other systems.  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.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Locking of Exchange ports question.

2002-10-30 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)
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.  Any gotchas I need
to be aware of?

RE: RAV Antivirus products

2002-10-10 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

Wow!  Just looked at pricing.  We have a student mail system with 45,000
users which we have no virus scanning software on because it's cost
prohibitive.  It's Linux with SMTP so I think I'll look at this for that
system.  I might even look at this for our front end IMC's on Exchange as
well for content filtering and keep ScanMail on the Exchange servers.
Scanning software is really eating a chunk out of our budget.

pricing is unbelievably low compared with the big names. I was wondering
if anyone had any experience with it.

IMC as relay system (off topic)

2002-09-25 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.

2002-09-20 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.  I thought maybe it's something to do with new mail
notification, but I don't understand why it would not have occurred on the
old systems.  I should state that the old server is running NT 4.0 versus
2000 for the new box.

Hi,
sounds like a name resolving issue to me. check the blackice logs whether
the traffic originates from UDP 53. My guess is that you have DNS running on
your Windows2000 server, which you hadn't under NT. 
What's the point of running PFs in the net if you have a firewall protecting
your network? are your users afraid of internal attacks?

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

No, there's no must be a simple way about it.  There's not. But here's

 Exchange 5.5 SP4 under NT 2000 SP2.
 
 Well we have our first 2000 server up running Exchange 5.5 
 SP3.   I'm trying
 to get the backups to run similar to what I had with NT 4.0.  
 With the 4.0 version I had the cmd set to initialize any tape 
 in the drive, backup and eject and mail the logs for verification.
 
 With 2000 I used the wizard to create the backup but I can't 
 seem to get it to grab any tape I have inserted.  I tried 
 adding multiple tapes to the media pool with the same name, 
 but I always get The operation was not performed, no storage 
 media was specified message on the report.  What am I 
 missing?  There must be a simple way to say any tape in there 
 grab it and use it for a backup.

Reverse DNS and Exchange

2002-07-12 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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: help with Small Biz Server 2000/Exchange 2000 recovery

2002-07-02 Thread Pete

Here is one error log.
However, regarding a good backup I was able to restore the information
store files to its orginal location after I blew out the priv1.edb file.
But still had problems mounting the information on the system manager
console.

Any thoughts?
As far I can see right now with SBS2k there is no disaster recovery
option when I load the cd it just gives me an option
To reinstall or remove.
Should I reinstall and then attempt another restore?
Or fire up a non-production server load exchange 2000 and restore on
that machine then move the mailboxes?

Thanks in Advanced.

however when I try to do it on the console it will not allow me to. I've
read the ms knowledge base regarding doing a hard re-mount but to no

From your other comments it sounds like you are trying to restore a file
backup of a in use Exchange DB. You can't do that. Were you using the
exchange agent with Backup Exec? If you did not use the Exchange Agent,
you almost certainly DO NOT have a valid usable backup on tape and the

Off topic-Mirapoint messaging solution.

2002-06-24 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

This is a little off-topic.  We recently went to a demonstration on
Mirapoint messaging systems.  We're looking at Mirapoint as a possible
replacement to our  aging student messaging system and potentially as
front-end servers for all incoming messages to the University.  I was
wondering if anyone had any experience with the vendor and opinions of good,
bad or other.  I know we could do this with Exchange, we're talking about
40,000 users and we're looking at all options and associated costs.

Dr Watson on INETINFO Event 4097

Exchange 5.5 SP4, NT 4.0 SP6A, IIS 4.0

We recently started encountering a problem with IIS and INETINFO Dr.
Watsoning on us with Event 4097.  We ended up rebuilding the entire system
from scratch but we are still encountering the problem.  Event as follows:

The application, exe\inetinfo.dbg, generated an application error The error
occurred on  6/ 5/2002 @ 14:20:59.975 The exception generated was c005
at address 77f64886 (RtlAllocateHeap) 

We installed the following patches/hot fixes after rebuilding the entire
system.  The system houses not mailboxes and is only used for OWA access.

sp6patch_i386   - NT 4.0 SP6a patch 128 bit
Q299444i- NT 4.0 SPA Roll-up hotfix
Q305929 - NT 4.0 SPA Certification patch
Q319733i- IIS Rollup Hotfix for SP4 6a MS02-018

Our MAPI32.DLL is also current and I have not found any hits in Technet
which apply to SP4 of Exchange. 

I'm debating if we should upgrade this box to Windows 2000 SP2 and IIS 5.0
and see if it stabilizes.  Could someone outline the steps and hot fixes
that I would have to perform to upgrade the box or am I off base on this
one.  Thanks in advance.

About a week ago.  Nothing else is on that box other than OWA.  No mailboxes

I'd say wipe the box clean and start over with w2k unless you think the box
is overworked, which could be the root of your problem.   Looks like you

RE: Which is better trend with ESE API or AVAPI/MAPI ???? For Exc hang e 5.5

2002-05-02 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.

Change password for Exchange in DMZ

2002-03-14 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

Exchange 5.5 SP3.

I've been instructed to move our Exchange deployment into our DMZ.  I
know...I know...VPN, not my decision.  We're performing a test and put a
Wins and Exchange server over in the DMZ, created a few test accounts.

We can get in from our private network with no problems.  The issue I'm
seeing is trying to change the password of an account.  We have the WINS in
the private network pulling from the Wins in the DMZ.  If I point to the
WINS in the private which is aware of the WINS in the DMZ, I still cannot
change the password.  

Do I have to open up a specific port for the WINS in the DMZ to the private?

RE: Change password for Exchange in DMZ

The domain controller, Wins Server, and Exchange server are all in the DMZ.
I can go over in the DMZ access the test account and I can change the
password.  If I go back over into the private network 10.n.n.n and get into
the same account, then I cannot change the corresponding password.

Size limits can be set at the IMC's General tab, and also at the MTA's
General tab. In both cases the limit is for the whole message, and in the
case of the IMC that means after encoding, which adds maybe 30% to the size
of the attachment.

Exhange/BDC tape backup question.

2002-03-05 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.

Thanks in advance!

Exchange 2,000 scalability question.

2002-02-19 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.

RE: Exchange 2000 scalability question.

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.

End of Support for MS products link

I recall that someone once posted a link to a page that stated the end of
life date for various MS products.  I've looked high and low for it and
can't seem to locate it.  Went to the archive, looked in TechNet, went to MS

Outlook error on free/busy data.

2002-01-24 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.

2002-01-08 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.  I ran the optimizer, but that didn't help.

I was thinking about trying to re-installing the 5.5 service pack.  Can you
just re-install the SP without having to de-install?  Any other suggestions?

AVAPI Scanning question.

2001-12-28 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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?

No, you need to do it at the mailbox level.  Simplest way to do it is to do
a directory export, manipulate the CSV in Excel, and import it back.  Then
modify your template user as well so the new users created also have the

That won't work for all users on the server.  The messages sent between
users on the same server do not hit the MTA and therefore are not affected
by the limits you set at the MTA.  In order to achieve what he wants, he has
to set the limits at the mailbox level.

Off topic: ScanMail AVAPI notifications and tracing?

2001-12-18 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

Exchange 5.5 SP4, ScanMail 3.52

We upgraded to ScanMail 3.52 and are running in both AVAPI and MAPI mode.  I
understand that running AVAPI, you lose the sender/recipient information for
viruses caught in the log files.  I'm a little confused on my testing on how
notification works.  I sent a test virus to a mailbox on our system and I
did not receive a notification that I sent a infected message.  The
recipient, on the other hand, did receive a message from my account and had
a text file entitled Virus1_Detected_and_Removed_virusname.txt.

Shouldn't I have received a message as well.  I have the real time scan set
to send message to sender,recipient,administrator.

RE: Off topic: ScanMail AVAPI notifications and tracing?

2001-12-18 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

I get the administrative notifications.  I'm talking about a user that sends
an infected message.  He does not recieve a notification that he sent an
infected message.  Only the recipient receives a message.

Under Notification, Real Time Scan, You need to put your name in ScanMail
Administrators. Then you will get emails whenever a virus is nailed.

As for the other with the AVAPI, this is a limitation of the AVAPI. My
suggestion would be to use Scanmail 3.7x which uses ESE based scanning.

Exchange 5.5 SP4, ScanMail 3.52

We upgraded to ScanMail 3.52 and are running in both AVAPI and MAPI mode.  I
understand that running AVAPI, you lose the sender/recipient information for
viruses caught in the log files.  I'm a little confused on my testing on how
notification works.  I sent a test virus to a mailbox on our system and I
did not receive a notification that I sent a infected message.  The
recipient, on the other hand, did receive a message from my account and had
a text file entitled Virus1_Detected_and_Removed_virusname.txt.

Shouldn't I have received a message as well.  I have the real time scan set
to send message to sender,recipient,administrator.

One other question.  Since I do not get the actual sender notifications in
the log files now,  I cannot determine where/who may be triggering an
outbreak.  Since the recipient gets a attachment with the
Virus1x.txt message is there a way to track this through the MTA

Off topic: EXPLORER.EXE 100% CPU

2001-12-18 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.

2001-12-14 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

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.

I take it you went to 3.7 ESE version?  That is what I was going to go to,
but Trend recommended the AVAPI since they were having issues with the ESE
version.  I didn't inquire exactly what the problems were.

I moved off of 3.52 to a later version a while ago so as not to have to deal
with the 3.52 limitations and issues. MAPI mode will always require logging
into the mailbox, it's a limitation of the methodology. For more information
on the various scanning technologies available for Exchange and the
limitations of same, I suggest asking Mr. Woodruff.

Now if the user gets into OWA and tries to open the message...it kills IIS

Ah ha!  Somebody else has this problem!  We have the same problem although
we are using InoculateIT and I figured it was to blame, but it appears that
Scanmail does the same.

Even though the message's attachment has been deleted, when the message is
read via OWA, you immediately start getting the dreaded ASP 0115 errors.
Only a reboot of the machine will fix the problem... bouncing the service
doesn't help.

I have yet to find a solution except to inform the users not to open these
messages via OWA... and we all now how good that works!  So far I have had
to reboot the server twice as a result of this virus's message.

Let me know if you find a solution!

RE: Trend Micro ESE vs. AVAPI

2001-12-12 Thread Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)

I just got off the phone with Trend about upgrading and they recommended
going to the AVAPI version since they were experiencing problems with the
ESE.  I was hoping to upgrade to the ESE later this week.  I'll have to call
them back and inquire about what issue they have with their ESE version.

Well, it's Trend's first foray into the ESE methodology of scanning, so a
little healthy caution is in order IMHO... 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.

 Good afternoon to you all:
 
   I am looking for some good reasons (other than trying 
 to keep software up to date) as to why I want to load version 
 3.7 of Trend Micro's AV software for Exchange, rather than 
 keep the current ver. 3.52.
 
   Yes, ESE is introduced, but what does that give me, 
 when compared to the MAPI/AVAPI scanning I do now.
 
   Thanks for anything you can give me.
