RE: M$ Exchange Move Server Wizard
AWWW, did I hurt someone's feelings, what a shame.

I would like to remind everyone that we make a pretty good living off of all these products that Microsoft supplies. Thanks to them I can put food on the table and roof over my families head.

no OWA after info store rebuild
I had posted this before and didn't get any help (a very perplexing problem to say the least) but I have found out some more specifics so I'll try again. I rebuilt the info store by using exmerge to export all mailboxes to .pst's, created a new priv.edb, and imported back from the pst's. About half of the accounts now can't use OWA. They get "failed to get inbox" after logging in. I thought it was outlook related but that's not it. I found I could fix the problem by not importing back the "associated folder messages". Exmerge says the associated folder messages are "used to store folder rules, views etc." Here is where the problem is, if I don't import these associated messages back in the accounts that don't work start working again. Of course these accounts lose all their rules and views and who knows what else. I would like to be the Hero here instead of a Bum so now my question is, can anyone elaborate on just what these associated messages are, or can you point me to a resource. What I want to do is access these messages programmatically and see if I can do anything with them. Any ideas?

RE: Custom recipients in a DL?
How about adding them to the DL first then hiding them? -Original Message- From: Joyce, Louis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 11:51 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Custom recipients in a DL? chicken and the egg scenario Regards Mr Louis Joyce Computer Support Analyst Network Administrator BT Ignite eSolutions -Original Message- From: Jesse Rink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 December 2001 16:48 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Custom recipients in a DL? Scenario: I would like to setup a Distribution List that contains about 500-1000 people. These people would not Exchange email accounts, but just regular SMTP accounts. I figured I could just create 500 custom recipient email accounts and add all those accounts to a DL, which works, but, then my GAL fills up with 500 smtp email accounts that I do NOT want to show up. Is it possible to HIDE a custom recipient account from the GAL but still use it in a DL? I tried hiding them from the GAL, but then I couldn't add them to the DL anymore.

No OWA after info store rebuild
I rebuilt my information store the following way: use exmerge to export all mailboxes to pst files erase priv.edb restart (new priv.ebd automatically recreated) send message to everyone (recreates the directory structure in info store) use exmerge to import all mailboxes Worked like a champ except now I get "failed to get inbox" after I login to OWA (all users affected). The only articles I have found so far say this is a permissions problem. Not only are all permissions the same, OWA and the system are installed on a FAT partition (don't ask) so I can't even set permissions on the files. Is the problem that OWA is "looking" for the old mailboxes and is seeing a new directory structure, and if so how do I get OWA to resync on the new info store? _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
No OWA after info store rebuild
I have rebuilt my information store using the following procedure: Use exmerge to export all mailboxes. delete priv.edb restart (new priv.edb automatically created on restart) send message to everybody (creats new directory structure in info store) use exmerge to import all mailboxes. Worked like a champ except now I get "failed to get inbox" after logging into OWA (all users same thing). Every article I can find says there's a permissions problem. Not only are all permissions the same but the system and OWA are installed on a FAT partition (don't ask) so permissions can't even be set on the files.
