Subject: Emails per day


This could well be a dumb question but, we've been asked to find out how
many e-mails are sent in a single day. Now we could check at the
firewall/mail gateway but that'd only get outbound/inbound mail. Perfmon
might give a clue (if we could stand that performance hit) and we can
monitor disk growth, but does anybody know a simple way to assess how many
emails per day are sent both internally and externally. Thanks.

  This is how the first world war started...
  
  
  From BBC newswire
  
  
  
  Serbian premier assassinated
  
  
  The Serbian Prime Minister, Zoran Djindjic, has been assassinated in
  the capital, Belgrade. He was shot in front of government offices at 
  around 1300 (1200 gmt) on Wednesday. He was taken to hospital for 
  emergency surgery but a government
  minister
  told the BBC's Serbian section that he had died of his wounds. Mr
  Djindjic, a former mayor of the Serbian capital, was a prominent 
  reformist opposition leader until Slobodan Milosevic was ousted from 
  power in 2000. Unconfirmed Serbian media reports say that two people 
  were arrested at the scene of the shooting.
  A police source told Reuters news agency that he had been 
  hit twice by
  large-calibre sniper rifle bullets.
  The editor of the Fonet news agency, Zoran Sekulich, told BBC World
  television Mr Djindjic had been shot once in the stomach and once in
  the
  back.
  Enemies
  On 21 February Mr Djindjic survived what he said was an assassination
  bid when a lorry swung into the path of his motorcade as he was 
  travelling to Belgrade airport. He later dismissed the incident as a 
  futile effort which could not stop democratic reforms.
  Correspondents say that Mr Djindjic, 50, made many enemies over his
  career as a pro-democracy campaigner and then as Serbia's prime
  minister.
  He was pivotal in arresting and handing Mr Milosevic over to the war
  crimes tribunal in The Hague in June 2001.
  The move opened the way to international aid to the then Yugoslavia.

Re: Flusing log files - almost out of space

2003-02-19 Thread Randy Roffey
If you stopped the Exchange services cleanly then the transaction logs are
committed to the database.  That does not solve the problem with a backup
not purging the logs.

Subject: Flusing log files - almost out of space


 NT 4 SP6 (I think)
 Ex 5.5 SP4 - single org, site, server

 One problem led to many others. Drive with the log files (also the system
 drive) ran low on space, so the MTA stopped. I cleared some stuff off the
 drive to get up to 150MB. MTA started, and it's working.

 The disk space problem also caused BENT to not run correctly because it
 couldn't write the catalog to the disk (space was down to 7MB when I got
 there on Monday). I believe that this caused the Exchange logs to not get
 flushed.

 The logs now comprise 3GB of space (and growing). One successful backup
has
 run since, but again, the logs aren't flushed.

 My question is (to refresh my memory)... Can I stop Exchange, copy the
logs
 to another drive for archiving, then kill the originals, and restart
 Exchange? If I recall, it should recreate new log files, correct? (I'm
 making the assumption that the transactions in the logs are committed). It
 looks like the drive that the store is on has plenty of space (including
 enough to defrag the store, etc). All services are running fine. But
 obviously, I need to clear those logs, and want to make sure it's how I
 remember it.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks!

Incident tracking

2003-01-08 Thread Randy Roffey
Can anyone recommend an application that can be used for tracking problems.
I am thinking of incident management software, where when a server is down a
trouble ticket can be issued and all information about the problem and steps
taken to resolve gets logged in a database.

This information can then also be used to search against for future
problems.

I have heard of a product called Remedy, has anyone used that or any other
application like it?

What are the better products out there?

Thanks, any suggestions would be helpful.

Randy

 Is there a way using Exchange 5.5 on a NT4 platform (current with all
 service packs) to monitor the activity of a mailbox?  If not, is there
 3rd party software available to do this?  Management is looking for a
 count of emails daily in and out of users mailboxes.  I'm sure that
 more information than simply a count would be a bonus to them.

 TIA.

Re: cleaning a mailbox

2002-12-11 Thread Randy Roffey
Jeff, you should be able to stop the Exchange services and then delete the
priv.edb.  Then when you restart the services a new Information Store is
created and all mailboxes will be empty.  You could also look into using
EXMERGE from the resource kit I'm guessing.

Yes it can be useful in DR situations.  It provides immediate access to
users while a separate issue is resolved with the old priv.  Then the two
priv.edb files can be merged in a sense using Exmerge.
