RE: Migrating from GroupWise 6.5

2003-12-18 Thread Waters, Jeff
Greg, 
Ever go to a trade show and get something from a vendor table?  Maybe fill
out one of those mailers to get a free shirt, or perhaps a free book from
Cisco.  My office is full of them, I get every shirt I can lay my hands on
as my wife likes to use them to sleep in or when the children are playing in
paint.  I have a really cool shirt that looks like a bear bottle I got at
Tech-Ed this year, I couldn't even tell you who the vendor is on it as I
have never looked, but that shirt is setting on the top of my book shelf
here in the office.  Shoot I even have free gifts from vendors that I can
promise you I would never use or recommend to anyone, but they are cool
gifts, and hey they are free.
Your argument is flawed in saying that anyone who has X (coffee cup,
T-Shirt, ball, backpack, mints in tin, pen's, calendar, notepad, hat,
poster,.. or any 1 of a million free gifts) is, has, might, or could one day
act unethically because it might cause them to favor that vendor over
another.  By your example any one in the food service business who samples
the free food at the grocery store is suffering from a real or perceived
conflict of interest.  Maybe they were just having a snack craving!
That's the problem with your never ending mantra about gifts and your
issue about weather or not this is a conflict of interest.

Subject: RE: Migrating from GroupWise 6.5


People mis-characterize and read things into my posts that are not there.
This one I have to do in-line.

 First of all, I've seen plenty of statements by people who accurately
depict
 reasons that your opinion is bunk. You've either not read or not
 comprehended them.
 

No one in 8 years has proven the statement flawed or illogical that when
you work in an industry and accept gifts from vendors in that industry
that it presents a real or perceived conflict of interest. This has been
the point since day one, is the point today and will be the point tomorrow
and the next day and the next.

 I've seen your comments repeatedly over the years, and continue to
disagree
 with them. Its also painfully obvious to a casual observer that you're
using
 incorrect statements in defense of your position.
 
  And ethics are not passed as laws. There is no law that 
  a company's employees cannot accept gifts. The ethics that
  lawyers and doctors follow are also not laws.
 
 While this is technically accurate, in fact it is inaccurate. Both these
 professions require licenses to practice. Lawyers who decide to cross a
 relatively arbitrary line involving a conflict of interest can and have
been
 disbarred - in other words, their license to practice law is revoked.
 Doctors, too, can have their medical license suspended or revoked. In
either
 case, they are not allowed to practice their profession without that
 license. Ergo, those professions' codes of ethics *are*, if somewhat
 indirect, law.
 

Yes, I understand and know all that, but that was not the point. Ethics go
far, far beyond mere laws. Lawyers can be disbarred for ethics violations
but not face any criminal prosecution. Yes, they can also be disbarred AND
face criminal prosecution, but the point was made in response to an
argument that indicated that ALL ethics must be legislated. Don't take
things out of context.

 Your most asinine statements, however, are your explicit statements that
 being awarded a vendor sponsored honor automatically removes any and all
 objectivity for those on whom the honor is bestowed. The fact that you
 repeatedly use that argument shows me how weak your argument really is,
 especially since you can't show a single instance of where this actually
has
 happened.
 

I don't say this. I say that it is a real or perceived conflict of
interest and hence a violation of basic ethics. I have stated repeatedly
that MVP's may well NEVER cause anyone to ACT unethically. And guess what?
It is irrelevant, it is still a real or perceived conflict of interest.
What part of this are you missing?

 Because the MVP community is both under NDA's to Microsoft and also has
 private community newsgroups, you don't see that MVP's as a group are some
 of the most critical of Microsoft's products and policies.
 
 But none of that matters to you, because we're all just in Microsoft's
 pockets anyways. Its not like 12 of the 24 servers I've deployed this year
 run non-Microsoft OS's or anything.[1]
 

Again, it does not matter if MVP is the greatest thing since sliced bread,
results in world peace and gives every starving kid a home. None of that
changes that it is a real or perceived conflict of interest. Again, it
matters not one bit if MVP's act unethically or not, it is a conflict of
interest plain and simple. I would be willing to bet that most if not all
of the MVP's do NOT act unethically because of the title. Guess what?
Doesn't matter. Still an violation of

RE: Sources of outages

Thankfully (knocking on wood) not here.  Why not figure in the desktop's
into this calculation?  In the last 12 months here, we have had about the
following:
Comm line/svs 85% (12% scheduled)  (most caused by a mass outage due to that
little thing called Isable)
Servers (mid-range and windows) 2% (all but one outage was scheduled)
Routers / Switches 6% (4% scheduled)
Desktop (customer service centers) 5% 
Strange bumps in the night 1% (we don't know, well it wasn't working before

say.  I did however turn this around here, we are subject to FOIA, I was
able to make the argument against .pst's under that in that we could never

These things always seem to come from legal.  But what's worse? Having
one set of Exchange backup tapes subpoenaed or 5000 PC hard drives?

It's interesting to see how the timeframe has changed over the years.
It seems like in the past everyone was trying to delete everything after
30 days, and now it's 60 days.

This is an example of people not understanding what an information

Due to new corporate policy, I just moved all my mail from the server
(Exchange 5.5sp4) to local PST files.  I had several rules to move
mailing
lists emails to server folders that now point to local PST folders.
Before,
these mailing list messages never showed up in the inbox, and the
Blackberry
server (BES server) never saw them (and thus never sent them to my
blackberry).  Now when one of these emails arrives, it briefly appears
in
the inbox before my PC has a chance to grab it and move it to a local
PST.
This means that some of the time the BES server sees it and forwards it
to
my blackberry.  Does anyone know of any tricks to avoid this?  I may
have to
switch these back to the server as I can keep stuff there less than 60
days
old but this means that I would need to have to manually archive these
before the server deletes them.

RE: Upgrading Exchange Server Hard Disk

2003-12-08 Thread Waters, Jeff
Or this could be a good time to schedule some weekend work and test your D/R
procedures.  
If ease and lack of any downtime is your number one concern and this box is
going to stay around for a while, I would look at getting an external drive
cage.  This would allow you to setup your new raid drive set, then you can
just move the db's to your new drive set.  If you setup the new box on a
separate channel of the controller you could also do some drive performance
tuning by looking at the placement of your db's, logs files and page file in
reference to the number of physical arms you would have.  The external box
could also grow into your next server so it would not be a lost investment
to your company.

 folders are fully utilized.

 The issue is we are time constrained with a more important project that
does
 not end until August next year (I'm sure that sounds familiar to many of
 you).  Currently that project is all encompassing and we do not plan to
 invest time in the mail migration until the other project is fully
 completed.

 Ideally I would have the Exchange migration already completed before the
 time we are currently planning to start it.  My concern is we need a
decent
 cushion of time before 5.5 support ends, incase of interoperability
 problems, I envisage a mixed 5.5 2k/2k3 migration.

 It may be that in a mixed 5.5 2k/2k3 environment MS would provide support
 while we fully move to a support Exchange, even after the PSS cut off
time.
 Any thoughts would be appreciated, am I being over concerned, or should I
be
 pushing to make this more important?  E-mail is as important a component
to
 our organization as most people, just the other project is moving our main
 premises to a new location, including datacenter.

 Thanks in advance.

OT: ADMT and Computer Migration Fun....

2003-10-27 Thread Waters, Jeff

I have tossed this out on the NT list, but wanted to ask over here just in
case any of you had ran into this. I have googled it, and have an open
question on the newsgroups as well.
I am running ADMT and trying to migrate my computer, and every time I get an
access is denied to the a registry key, so ADMT can't get what operating
system I am running. This is what the log file is giving me:
2003-10-24 12:13:32 Created account input file for remote agents:
DCTCache.009
2003-10-24 12:13:32 Installing agent on 1 servers
2003-10-24 12:13:32 The Active Directory Migration Tool Agent will be
installed on \\

unknown, Error accessing registry key
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment rc=5 Access is
denied.
2003-10-24 12:13:32 ERR2:7006 Failed to install agent on \\, rc=5 Access

2003-10-24 12:13:32 ERR2:7005 Failed to launch agent on \\, hr=80070005
Access is denied.
2003-10-24 12:13:33 All agents are installed. The dispatcher is finished.

I have checked, and double checked the following;
a) Permissions on that key, have even gone as far as giving current
domain\administrator full control of that key.
b) Verified on the current domain:
1) administrator is a member of the administrators  domain admins
groups
2) that target domain/domain admins is a member of administrators
group
c) Verified on the target domain
1) source domain\domain admins is a member of the administrators
group

I am running ADMT logged onto the target domain as current
domain\administrator, I have successfully migrated another XP system this
morning without any problems. I can attach to the admin shares without any
problems.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

RE: Time Stamp issue

2003-10-10 Thread Waters, Jeff
We have sort of the same problem here due to daylight savings time and our
AS/400's.  The time is set correctly on each of them, the zones are the
same, however our Windows systems use DST and the 400's could give a rip
about that.  So what happens is that the systems that support DST offset the
time that is coming from the 400's.  You could be having the same problem.

The inside time stamp (ie the one embedded in the message) definitely is

the received envelope stamp is based on the mail server's time, adjusted
by

  We get emails from our mainframe in the middle of the night.
  When we receive them in Outlook the pointer in the inbox
  shows for example, 12am.  When we open the message it shows
  sent as being 1am.  This is the only emails that we are
  getting where the time is messed up.  All other emails
  internal and Internet are correct.  Any idea's?  I have
  verified that the time on the machines is correct and checked
  the time zones but like I said its only from this one sender.
   Also where do both of those time stamps come from?  The

Subject: Exchange 2000 Server Replacement


Greetings!

I am going to throw out a question, showing my obvious exchange
ignorance. We have 4 Exchange Mail Servers in our Organization and we
need to replace one of them, as the box is old and slow. This server
serves about 100 mailboxes. I am assuming I can build out the new
server, install exchange and just move the mailboxes to the new server.
The only problem I see with this, is having to reconfigure all of the
clients to point to the new server.

I would really like to keep the server name the same, but don't think it
is possible.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeremy

changed is we
have recently started upgrading some of our NT 4.0 workstations to Windows

Almost all those users receive the following message the first time they
logon

Outlook is retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange Server Exchange.
You can cancel
the request or minimize this message to the Windows taskbar until Outlook
closes the
message automatically.

Some of them receive the message more frequently.  Maybe the two issues
aren't related,
but I thought I'd start here, since it's the only thing that's changed
recently.  Is anybody else
having issues using XP Professional with Exchange 5.5?

RE: Slightly OT - Software Management Install on Exchange Servers

2003-08-14 Thread Waters, Jeff
Simple really, NO.
Why would you need it?  All that a software inventory, management, etc. tool
is going to do is add overhead to a central resource.  Have you had problems
in the past with strange software just showing up on your servers?  We do an
annual inventory check of all our core systems.  
We do use EZ-Audit as a quick check point type of software for our desktop
systems and I have gone as far as setting up a system variable on all our
servers as a standard, this variable allows us to specifically exclude our
servers from that package when someone in IT log's on the systems.
I would have to ask management what they are hoping to achieve by doing
software inventory/metering on a dedicated production system, then go on
record explaining why that is such a bad idea.

Hi,

Management is looking at placing LanDesk software inventory/metering on
all production clusters, Exchange servers, SQL DBs, etc. across our
company.

I have worked in companies that implement software inventory solutions
targeting desktops/clients but not to core service IT systems.  

My question is:
What does your company do?  How would you 'resolve' this issue?  If your
company does not use software inventory on core systems do they or you
'work around' the software inventory issue on core systems?

I know how I inventoried core IT systems in my previous experiences but
I am interested in what others do/have done.

RE: Slightly OT - Software Management Install on Exchange Servers

2003-08-14 Thread Waters, Jeff
Nope your right, I'm not.  
If we ran our inventory package to only read from the add/remove program
list, then your right it has no system impact.  However I really want to
know what is installed on the system, so we expand that search to look for
executables on all local hard drives.  By doing that I know what the user
has added that is outside or our system standard.  Any program that does
that type of search is going to have a disk I/O impact thus have a overall
system impact.
If I worked in your environment I might change my mind, however I have
worked for both large and small organizations and have never felt the need
to do software inventory on my production servers.  That's just how I choose
to do it, not how it has to be done.

You're not working for a software development company, are you? Aside from
IT managed resources, we have a lot of other users running a lot of
applications that are not completely under our control.

When you run as many servers as we do (150+) with a handful of admins,
having the centralized license compliance reporting is really, REALLY handy.
With an implementation like this, we only have to go to one place to find
and understand exactly what our license burden is.

If you're using an inventory package that puts a noticable load on the
machine its inventorying, you bought the wrong package.

 is going to do is add overhead to a central resource.  Have 
 you had problems
 in the past with strange software just showing up on your 
 servers?  We do an
 annual inventory check of all our core systems.  
 We do use EZ-Audit as a quick check point type of software 
 for our desktop
 systems and I have gone as far as setting up a system 
 variable on all our
 servers as a standard, this variable allows us to 
 specifically exclude our
 servers from that package when someone in IT log's on the systems.
 I would have to ask management what they are hoping to 
 achieve by doing
 software inventory/metering on a dedicated production system, 
 then go on
 record explaining why that is such a bad idea.

 Subject: Slightly OT - Software Management Install on Exchange Servers
 
 
 Hi,
 
 Management is looking at placing LanDesk software 
 inventory/metering on
 all production clusters, Exchange servers, SQL DBs, etc. across our
 company.
 
 I have worked in companies that implement software inventory solutions
 targeting desktops/clients but not to core service IT systems.  
 
 My question is:
 What does your company do?  How would you 'resolve' this 
 issue?  If your
 company does not use software inventory on core systems do they or you
 'work around' the software inventory issue on core systems?
 
 I know how I inventoried core IT systems in my previous 
 experiences but
 I am interested in what others do/have done.
 
 
 Thanks in advance,

RE: Running Exchange 2000 on Windows 2003

2003-08-14 Thread Waters, Jeff
Not to ask a stupid question here, why not wait until Ex2K3 is released then
go to it and skip Ex2K?  What we are/planning on doing is to get our Win2K3
AD completely in place (we are doing a migration) and let exchange keep
running on 5.5, then this fall we will build our new 2K3 (OS  EX) and
complete the migration.  I don't see any real advantages in doing an upgrade
today, just so I can do another upgrade in 5 months.  You can run Ex2K3 in
your lab and test the migration until the cows come home using an RC
product.
Just my thoughts.

Upgrading thoughts from the been there done that crowd

2003-08-01 Thread Waters, Jeff
I have been reading up on the AD connector for exchange and what I need to
do etc.  However I was wondering if I really need it at all.  We are doing a
new AD design and trusting back to our 4.0 domain then using the ADMIT tool
to migrate users/computers and passwords over to the new domain structure
(going from two to one).  My thinking today has jumped over to the why do I
even need to worry about the connector and upgrading exchange since part of
this entire conversion is new exchange hardware anyway.  We are going to
wait until this fall and go right to Ex2K3 from 5.5 and skip over Ex2K.
So here is my thinking, if I leave the old server alone, running on 4.0 in
the old domain, then when 2K3 is released and I get the software build a new
server in the AD on Win2K3.  Wouldn't I be able to join that to the 5.5
organization and move the users over to the new server.  Decommission the
old server and remove the 4.0 infrastructure?

They also changed the licensing in W2k3 terminal server, not sure I like
their reason for doing that little change.  
I figured their reason was for sites doing an in-place upgrade, but not yet
ready to make the exchange conversion, however I'm doing a parallel
conversion so I was just wondering if the ADC was needed.  I have checked
the documentation, and am in the process of doing it again, but only to see
if I really need it at all.  I know it will work through the trust
relationship as I have it running in the lab with out the ADC and my AD
users have accounts on the 4.0/5.5 server.

If you need to co-exist with some users on 5.5 and some on 2003 then the ADC
keeps the Exchange 5.5 directory and your new Active Directory synchronised
and ensures that you can route mail between the two. If you can migrate in a
single hit then you don't need it.

RE: Heads up on a new virus

2003-08-01 Thread Waters, Jeff
Thanks Martin, got the new definition but learned something strange at the
same time
Using Trend 3.52 with Ex5.5 SP4, NT4.0 SP6a and have the update set to every
hour and it has been working great.  I just checked to see what version we
were on and all should have been well but we were on 355 not 357, ran the
update manually and then checked the logs. By looking in the logs it seems
that trend stopped updating at 10pm on the 30th, even the manual update is
not showing up in the logs.  I am going to Trends site now, but was
wondering if any of you other users had seen this in the past.
Thanks
Jeff

Hi,

Is there a link on MS about this or in a book somewhere.  I have not
been able to find it.

As an Exchange Admin I should know this - argh.

When an email with attachment gets sent to 'N' people does that
attachment stay in the store as one file or is it stored as 'N' files?

Trend 3.51 and Ex 5.5

2003-08-01 Thread Waters, Jeff
I have submitted this to Trend, however I didn't know if anyone here had
experienced this before.  We are running Trend 3.51 and have the autoupdates
set to hourly.  They stopped working on the 30th, I can still do the manual
update but it doesn't show up in the log's.   The log has 2000 events in it.
Does anyone know how to clear the log file, under log maintenance it is

I checked, and didn't see that you are running as an open relay.

Perhaps the problem you are having is Reverse DNS?  I know that AOL
requires a Reverse DNS record if you want to talk to it.  I had to add
it into my records before they would talk to me :)

How do you handle a situation where, for example, you are replacing an
employee so you are going to have a mailbox set up to receive responses to
an advertisement. But you don't want that mailbox to be visible to the rest
of the users since they will most likely figure out what's going on??

RE: Exchange server level encryption

2003-02-26 Thread Waters, Jeff
The problem with all of this is that a large encryption infrastructure that
covers multiple vendors is a nightmare that I don't even want to start
working with.  Having some very high level experience with encryption this
is a big game, and there is no real way to work it out for this situation.  
Our 1st response was across the board e-mail encryption, however you have to
ask yourself, does this really protect PHI.  If you share your encryption
with all of your external users, not all of whom are PHI related sites, then
your user selects the wrong recipient presto you now have a HIPPA violation.
All the policies in the world will not prevent this.  So then you have to
start asking yourself, how do I cover this.
One of the options that I asked about was if we had an internal policy (it's
government, they love policy) that prohibited the external transmission of
PHI via e-mail.  The angry comments I got from our personnel was just
amazing, but after hearing them some were valid.  So the next step was that
all PHI e-mail transfers would be done as attachments, utilizing strong file
level encryption (not self-decrypting) and strong passwords.  Next step how
do you work out the transfer of passwords, who makes the passwords, who
controls the passwords.  This is not going to be easy.
Do we need HIPPA, well probably we do, however most of what HIPPA covers
from a technical standpoint is just in keeping with best practices.  The one
thing HIPPA is not going to beat is human nature, and human nature is why we
have the HIPPA violations to begin with.

  While I don't know about this particular case, I've seen such reactions
before in similar, non-HIPPA cases.  It goes something like this:

  Security becomes a concern.  Of course, you cannot have security without a
good security policy that defines your information assets, risks, threats,
counter-measures, and so on.  Nor can you have security without user
understanding and education.  So the IT guys tell the PHBs that their
existing policy of driving blindly through the fog is a bad idea.  The PHBs
react by coming up with crap ideas like everything must be encrypted  
(without even knowing what encryption actually *is*).  Actually fixing their
management structure would cost too much.

Do not reroute incoming SMTP mail tab selected in the Routing tab of the IMS
selected.  The magic tool that the consultant used, and I don't know what it
is, and the CFI LANguard scanner I just used is reporting that the server is

You're relay secure.

Some tools are too good.  They test scenarios where Exchange will accept
a message for delivery but not relay it.  That is, not all such
scenarios generate a 550 error, but Exchange doesn't relay them and
that's what really matters.  I think your tool is reporting a false
positive.  If the tool was great it would tell you what it was doing
and what passed and what failed.  If all you're getting is a pass/fail,
then the tool leaves something to be desired.

I have a customer who has been connecting to our Exchange servers just fine
with MAPI Outlook, across the Internet.

They have been receiving new PCs from Dell that are already preconfigured
with Windows XP SP1.

And for some reason users on those PCs cannot connect to Exchange anymore.

I asked him to check the XP's built-in firewall. He says it is disabled.

I did an RPC Ping test with him. From old PCs RPC Ping worked fine. But it
failed on the new XP SP1 PCs.

What else could there be wrong with XP SP1 that would kill RPCs?

 What I basically want to do is this. If anyone sends email

  You could have a look at MailMarshal Secure which is an email
  encryption and decryption gateway.  It's an add-on to 
  MailMarshal which provides content filtering, virus checking etc.
  
  Are you looking specifically at e-mail encryption or would
  something like transport layer encryption be sufficient?
  
  What does your security policy say?

RE: Exchange server level encryption

2003-02-25 Thread Waters, Jeff
Not yet, we did tell him that was on our plan, right after our AD conversion
which I hope I can complete by the end of the year.  He said it wasn't a
requirement, however it was stressed to the point that it should be a
requirement.  We are now doing the internal network scan for what's wrong
with all the servers etc.
As far as e-mail he suggested looking at PGP 1st.

I want to know how you got off with one day, I am going to be hippa-tized
for the rest of the week.

 I'll assume you are talking about SMIME encryption here. What 
 you want to do is not possible in the general sense. You need 
 the recipient's public key in order to encrypt their mail. 
 You would have to have a predefined list of all possible 
 recipients and their public keys. Even if you had this list, 
 I know of no products that implement this (but then again, 
 I've never looked)
 
 You could probably rig something up using PGP on a unix box 
 as an outbound gateway. But then all your recipients would 
 need PGP to read the mail.

Question, as we are a BlackBerry site, and I just saw this wonderful
Goodlink.  If it is a mirror sync, what happens to mail after the device
gets to 8meg's?  Can you set a folder to not be synced, so the users could
move mail to that folder to keep for archive?
Not that I wouldn't love to have the users stay at 8meg's on the store, but
I know the users that are using these here, and that would never happen.

I have to agree with that. We signed up with Cingular running BBE 2.5 to
start with and it works fine, but after seeing Goodlink on the handhelds
along with
the free upgrade to Gl 1.5 we haven't looked back. Goodlink is one sweet
platform. 100% sync every ware. My only gripe is that it does not sync a
copy of
the GAL to the handheld, you have to copy users into your personal contacts

Sorry just curious about the BB server.

Yes with Good technologies Server, it talks directly to my exchange server
for the users, The Good server then goes out to Good's main server which is
connected to the Mobitex network. So yes my users have a direct extension of
their outlook/exchange account right on their 957, real time. Inbox,
Contacts,
Calendar, Task, Todo 100% sync. No Drafts, Delete Items. So my users Never
have to cradle.

Note: I don't allow my users Personal Address Books, PST's... (why would you
really need them?),  keep it all in Contacts on the exchange server etc

At the time we looked into this the BB server enterprise(1.5) could not do
all this, Im not sure but I dont think even the new ver. of the BB server
does
all this yet...

For curiosity you can find it at www.good.com
the service provider is Cingular...

that's a good Q
so far my experience has been that the fact the the new 957's are 8MB doesnt
matter.
My users are set to 50MB limit on their Exch-MB.
Ive found most of the space used is attachments, the attachmnet is NOT
downloaded to the 957 until the user selects it, then the system downloads
the attachment to the 957, it looks like in pieces too..

also if you do have say multiple folders under inbox you must tell the
device to sync them (if you want)

SO I have NOT had a space issues on the unit yet..though I guess if a user
had huge attachment it might be a problem, then again the download time
would stink...

For my sales guy's the sync with their inbox and contacts is critical,
everything else is nice to have...

DNS Question

2003-02-04 Thread Waters, Jeff
I know this is kind of off exchange, however since I trust ya'all on this
list I have a quick question.  Are any of you running IBM DNS for your AD
infrastructure?  We are running it and getting ready for our AD lab and roll
out, however I just found something that is troubling me.  IBM does not
issue TTL's, so unless the client or DHCP (which we are not using) does the
delete the record never goes away.  So now I have duplicate records where if
you ping client.us.gov you get xxx.yyy.zzz.111 and if your ping
client1.us.gov you get xxx.yyy.zzz.111.  Now client1 has the right address,
and client has been off the network for about 6 months.
If anyone has ran into this before or is using IBM I would love to hear
about any problems or success you have had.
Thanks

Greetings:

Exchange 5.5 SP4 
Windows NT4 SP6 SRP

Just for fun, my server decided to give me a no boot device found error
when I started it up this morning.  I ensured the RAIDs were all good, then
called Dell tech support.  He had me boot from a 2000 CD and examine the C
drive which has empty except for a couple of dirs.  He suggested I try a
repair or parallel install.  Hindsight, what I was actually looking at was
the D: partition, but I've already reinstalled the OS so it doesn't really
matter now.

The question.

I have my priv and pub still intact and would like to reinstall Exchange and
simply move these DBs back to their original locations.  Is this possible?
I found an article from Rich Matheison on how to do this, but he has the
server built in a new site with the same org and site name.  How would I get
it back to the original site?  Should I delete the old server name from the
site then install exchange and move the DBs?

I'm stuck and the clock is ticking!  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!

Does anyone know if there is a standard policy out there for Comp Time?

I have been asked to find out what other companies do to compensate their
employees
For working off hours(nights, weekends), beyond their normal workweek.

Example:  If I have to come in on a Saturday to install a new antivirus
package and it take 4 hours, do I get 4 hours off during the week or what?


Thanks - Brian

RE: Viruses via email

2002-10-24 Thread Waters, Jeff
I'm sure there are a few (ok more than a few) but the question would be why
would you want to.  Even in the best managed desktop environment you can't
ensure that all the desktops are at the latest definition level, or that you
user hasn't chosen to turn off the protection, or worse yet an admin turned
it off to update a program and in a rush doesn't turn it back on.  With the
e-mail you have a limited number, can update at will, scan the mail and at
least feel that you are doing the best job possible to keep the little
critters out of your world.  And the plus is you have control over the
process, and yes I am a control nut.
just as an FYI we run Trend on the server, and yes I Love It and will pay
the price increase, and we run NAV on the desktop with the OL hook, that way
the users who are also popping with the client (yes that's another topic!)
can't bring one in on the other side. I am very pleased, the A/V along with
blocking attachments has served us very well.

RE: Getting Close to my final configuration

2002-10-11 Thread Waters, Jeff

I think you should use raid 1 with the 9gig drives x 2.  One arm for the OS
and one arm for the logs.  Even at 400 users I could see the performance
increase by putting the logs on a different arm.  Why would this save you
money?  Even if you put the Logs and OS on the same Channel but different
arms you would be better off.
OS = Raid1
Logs = Raid1
Store = Raid5

Based on your suggestion about properly configuring my new Exchange 2000
box, I have one other question.  To save money and time what do you
think about using a RAID5 with 9 gig drives for my OS and Logs and use a
RAID5 with 36gig drive for my Information Store?

Also, is there a document out there that describes how to setup Exchange
with multiple drives?
It seems pretty straight forward using ESM.

Thanks to all.

RE: Hard Drive Utilization

2002-09-19 Thread Waters, Jeff

Any time, I don't know if you have a server, or are going to be getting a
new one.  If you are getting a new one be sure to take a look at the EXP
line of expansion boxes.  I also know they are recreating the X line of
servers again, and of course they can't leave the good systems in place.
The 342 close to the one you have now, and has a good price.  The 350 is a
great system if you can still find one.  Also take a look at the
ServeRAID-4H card, it will double your Cache Memory, has a 266 over a 100
Microprocessor, and is a 4 channel card so you can have up to 4 independent
disk arms (always a good thing).
Happy Server Building!

If you are a single channel RAID5 yes.  You would need to crack open the box
and disconnect the NETBAY3 from the current channel and connect it to the
2nd channel on the controller.  This would break the established RAID.  Then
you would build the box from the ground up, starting with the IBM Raid CD so
you can recreate your drives.
If you do this I would recommend you do the OS/Log as a RAID1 (with 2
logical drives) and enroll the 3rd drive as a spare.  Then do the 2nd as a
RAID5.  
Think of it as a way to test your DR plans.  The good news is if you do it
this way and still don't get the performance you are looking for, when you
add the EXP you will only have to tell exchange to move your log files to
the new drives.

Do you have the Netfinity NETBAY3 so that you can use up to 6 drives?  If
you don't, and you aren't using something like the EXP300 external bay then
you are physically limited to 3 drives and one arm.  If you have the NETBAY3
you can run up to 6 drives with 3 on each channel, or with all 6 on one
channel.  To go beyond that you are going to be looking at something like
the EXP300 or 500 expansion bays.
If you don't have the NETBAY3 I would get one, and then get the store on a
different arm/channel.
Here are your choices as I see them from the top of my head.
using a NETBAY3;
1 channel and 3 raid 1 drives, then you could do os, logs, and store on
separate drives however you are still going to take a performance hit
because they are all on the same channel.
2 channels
1- Raid1 drive and 2 logical drives on 1 channel for the OS and Logs
1- Raid1 drive with 1 logical drive for the store.
Not the optimum, however you will at least get your logs and store on
separate drive arms.  I had this for a couple of years and it worked fine.
Get yourself an EXP unit;
1-Raid 1 in the server for the OS
1-Raid 1 in the EXP for the logs
1-Raid 5 in the EXP for the stores
The EXP is a duel channel bus, this would put your OS, Logs and Store all on
separate channels and give you the best performance.

What I have done for our severs is run both the NETBAY3 and an EXP500, this
allows me to run two channels within the servers, and split the EXP between
two servers.

it's possibly the worst idea ever created. Besides the constant

arm?  In a optimum environment you would want it so that the OS and logs are
on two separate Raid1 arms, and the store would be on a Raid5 arm.  If this

Does anyone else with a fairly large environment (+500 on one Server) have
slowness issues related to hard drive utilization?  By that I mean speed not
actually how large.  Are box runs very slow and the hard drives look peaked.

RE: Hard Drive Utilization

2002-09-18 Thread Waters, Jeff

Sorry brain dead, I missed the netfinity part.  What server are you running
this in?  If you have the IBM raid manager loaded you can run that within
windows, otherwise you either run the config or open the box up.  Your
server configuration is going to determine how the drives are setup.  If you
get me the model of IBM server you have I can give more information.  I know
the 4M card very well as we have a few of them here.

RE: Hard Drive Utilization

2002-09-18 Thread Waters, Jeff

Do you have the Netfinity NETBAY3 so that you can use up to 6 drives?  If
you don't, and you aren't using something like the EXP300 external bay then
you are physically limited to 3 drives and one arm.  If you have the NETBAY3
you can run up to 6 drives with 3 on each channel, or with all 6 on one
channel.  To go beyond that you are going to be looking at something like
the EXP300 or 500 expansion bays.
If you don't have the NETBAY3 I would get one, and then get the store on a
different arm/channel.
Here are your choices as I see them from the top of my head.
using a NETBAY3;
1 channel and 3 raid 1 drives, then you could do os, logs, and store on
separate drives however you are still going to take a performance hit
because they are all on the same channel.
2 channels
1- Raid1 drive and 2 logical drives on 1 channel for the OS and Logs
1- Raid1 drive with 1 logical drive for the store.
Not the optimum, however you will at least get your logs and store on
separate drive arms.  I had this for a couple of years and it worked fine.
Get yourself an EXP unit;
1-Raid 1 in the server for the OS
1-Raid 1 in the EXP for the logs
1-Raid 5 in the EXP for the stores
The EXP is a duel channel bus, this would put your OS, Logs and Store all on
separate channels and give you the best performance.

What I have done for our severs is run both the NETBAY3 and an EXP500, this
allows me to run two channels within the servers, and split the EXP between
two servers.

RE: Hard Drive Utilization

2002-09-18 Thread Waters, Jeff

If you are a single channel RAID5 yes.  You would need to crack open the box
and disconnect the NETBAY3 from the current channel and connect it to the
2nd channel on the controller.  This would break the established RAID.  Then
you would build the box from the ground up, starting with the IBM Raid CD so
you can recreate your drives.
If you do this I would recommend you do the OS/Log as a RAID1 (with 2
logical drives) and enroll the 3rd drive as a spare.  Then do the 2nd as a
RAID5.  
Think of it as a way to test your DR plans.  The good news is if you do it
this way and still don't get the performance you are looking for, when you
add the EXP you will only have to tell exchange to move your log files to
the new drives.

RE: Tracing Computers making repeated Logon Requests

2002-09-11 Thread Waters, Jeff

If you can't do a ping systemname and you are running wins, they are
probably going to be coming from the UNIX system.  These will not be
registered in your WINS database.  Have you tried to ping using the FQDN?

Okay, here is all that I know about my infrastructure besides what I
mentioned.  Its all UNIX based and I have not access to any of it.  The
routers and switches (and the fiber optic backbone) is all controlled by
a different department.  

My W2K servers do not run DNS or DHCP, however I do have a WINS server
(it just struck me that I should look to see if the workstations
registered there when they attempted to log on to those servers).  

I don't know how to setup a workstation o update the DNS so I can't
answer your first part.  I do know that I am half Windows XP and half
Windows 2000.

Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck,

You didn't mention much about your infrastructure; but *if* the
workstations in question are Win2k (and are set to update the DNS), you
can do an nslookup on the hostname.  

If you provide DHCP to them, you might be able to find the IP that the
DHCP server gave out to the hostname.  (Even the MS DHCP server provides
some basic logging)

Not sure what brand of network gear you have; but [even] on our Nortel
switches, I can do a lookup of the MAC address, and find out what port
it is on  on the switch in question we are fully switched, and have
implemented VLANs, so I know by IP Address what switch to look on)

Subject: OT: Tracing Computers making repeated Logon Requests


Hey all,

This is really off topic, but I am having problems find a solution.  

There are a number of workstations that are repeatedly trying to hack my
admin password on two of my subnets.  I can see when they try their
password attempts and they are using basic Microsoft Authentication.
However the Event Viewer only gives me the workstation name (and the
domain/work group name which is the same as the workstation name).  Does
anyone have any suggestions as to how I could pin down an IP address.  

The nature of these attempts (and timing) could point out that some
student either has been hacked or is purposely running these.  As such,
if I can discern an IP address I can put an end to them.

Thanks,

Chuck

RE: Backup Exec 8.6 - Open File Option

2002-08-22 Thread Waters, Jeff

Just to ask, are you only going to use this for exchange?  If so then just
like everyone has said.  However if you are going to be doing other backups
with this software then the OFO is worth the cash. We currently run 8.6 with
the OFO, Exchange, and SQL options installed, however we run 3 drives at
once and use it for our enterprise backups as well, thus the OFO.

You just need the Exchange option.

He is a salesman - he wants your money (and his cut), that is why he wants
you to buy the OFO. There is absolutely no need for it on an Exchange
server. The open file option attempts to back up your database (which is
open), which the Exchange option does in a sensible way. This is a pointless
waste of tape and will not do anything to help you in any way, shape or
form.

And yes, anything with an O, F or M: in Exchange is BAD

RE: None Exchange related

We use the controls in our AC units.  The room is on its own loop with 4
units running.  If the temp or humidity goes out of spec then the system
calls our facilities guys who in turn fix it or contact our on call person
to alert them of the problem.  We over did the room by one unit, and we
doubled up the outside units.  The only single point of failure we have is
if someone cuts the chilled water lines.  We are using all Leibert equipment

RE: access to multiple mailboxes

2002-07-29 Thread Waters, Jeff

without any problems at all.  I have about a dozen of them setup as
mailbox's for our departments that get mail and attachments all the time.
Our more creative departments have a file structure within them that they
use to track their work flow.  When you setup the folder you decide what
type of items it will contain and then just setup the permissions from
there.  The user can add it to their outlook bar, or use the folder list to
view the contents of them.  If you haven't played with them I would create
one as a test.  Do you have your mail from this list sent to your inbox, if
so create a public folder and subscribe it to this list.  You can then set
your personnel account so that you don't receive any messages.

Then do you log on the relay server? SMTP is all about ownership of the
message. Once the Exchange server hands the message off, it no longer cares
about it. Unless of course you believe in the new e-mail tracking program
developed by Bill Gates. If you forward this e-mail to 50 people you get a
gift certificate to Disney Land.

as I said, I found it, but from the moment it goes to the relay I don't

also, why does the message tracking only works on a specific date?

Hello All,
I have a W2k box with Exchange 2000 SP2.
I have a user who is getting duplicate messages from 1 specific person. This
person says she is able to send email to other people and they are not
getting duplicates.  I really think that there is a problem on their side,
but I will investigate things here. Do you have ideas as to why MY email
server would be duplicating email messages for one user only? Here comes the
newbie questionIs there a way I can monitor or check if a piece of email
is being duplicated by exchange?

Thanks for any help.  I don't know the person sending the mail, so I have no
information on their setup.  I will be trying to call their LAN
administrator and figure it all out.

RE: Receiving Duplicate Messages

2002-06-21 Thread Waters, Jeff

It's the nature of the beast, it can affect 1, 2, 10, or all of your e-mail.
Also you might only have one person complaining.  Go to you networking group
and ask them to put the no fixup protocol smtp 25 command into the config
for the box.  SMTP fixup is the mail guard feature of the pix, and this is a
known problem with it.

really do not work in that industry. I really am an admin working with M$,
Cisco, Citrix, Unix etc I studied the Cisco stuff because we were
converting from x.25 to frame relay and I wanted to do it so I asked the
company to give me a shot. I used the knowledge again when we switched to
NVPN. My only point is that the Certs were about what I needed to improve my
skill set.

I had to hire a guy recently (echoing Lori and Ray) and I hired the guy that
had very little Practical experience but he did have an MCSE. I thought that
at least showed that he wanted to learn. I interviewed a few others that had
more experience and never took the time to educate themselves in their
chosen craft.

exchange, As a hired consultant. Yesterday I added a few new T1's to a

I am solely responsible for all of those routers as well the rest of the
network and a 5,000 user install of Exchange.

Books and paper mean very little... Would you hire a paper MCSE over me?
Would you hire someone who could Quote the OSI model over me? Why

That guy is a knucklehead. The Best Cert is the one you need or help
you do your job better. That is the best cert. I have a CCNP and CCDP
and I really do not work in that industry. I really am an admin working
with M$, Cisco, Citrix, Unix etc I studied the Cisco stuff because
we were converting from x.25 to frame relay and I wanted to do it so I
asked the company to give me a shot. I used the knowledge again when we
switched to NVPN. My only point is that the Certs were about what I
needed to improve my skill set.

I had to hire a guy recently (echoing Lori and Ray) and I hired the guy
that had very little Practical experience but he did have an MCSE. I
thought that at least showed that he wanted to learn. I interviewed a
few others that had more experience and never took the time to educate
themselves in their chosen craft.

I'm not sure what you are asking for. We have many mailboxes (400 or so) for
things like shared mailboxes, rooms, projectors, etc. Most of these have a
human owner's NT account plugged into the primary NT account. Many have
additional permissions assigned. Since this don't fly in E2K, we want to
create unique NT user IDs for these mailboxes and make the new ID the
primary NT account for the mailbox. I then need a way to give the original
account permission on the mailbox.

We use no public folders (should we is another question, but the fact is we
don't currently).

I can export, create the NT4 user ID and re-import with the newly created ID

Subject: RE: OT - BlackBerry Enterprise Server


We've had MAJOR problems!  We are running Exchange 2000 Sp1 on Win2k SP2. 
Our Exchange Server sits in the DMZ.

We are running BES on a regular Win2K pro machine sitting Nat'd behind our
corporate network.

We piloted the software because our CEO wanted to deploy it company wide
and it worked fine when we had just him on it. We added 3 more people and
the server started getting hung worker threads every 4-6 hours, which
effectively stopped the server from doing its job (all blackberries
stopped working) and required a reboot.

I've been in constant contact with RIM tech support about this and we've
already ruled out any firewalling issues or config issues.  The
frustrating part is they ask me to change or patch this and that almost
once a day and it never helps.  The users are getting ticked and they are
all 24x7 people so Im getting calls at home to reboot the BES
server...Bottom line is, its a bug in their stuff.

They gave me a (beta) Service Pack 3 for the BES software to apply
yesterday and it seemed to stay up longer than before.  I noticed this
morning that the server was writing blocked worker thread errors to the
app event log AGAIN.  PLUS, their SP3 introduced a new problem -- all
blackberry users defined on the BES server now receive TWO calendar
appointment items In Outlook whenever someone sends a meeting request to
them.

We're about to throw the whole pile of software and handhelds out the
window unless RIM coughs up a fix and FAST!

I don't think I can take the proxy out of the picture I only have 1 ip I
can use and it's the pix ip.  Is it possible to map that ip in and out
along with the other statement.  Your last statement was correct BUT
there is no tcp or www in my static statement.

I'm not sure I see the relevance of forwarding the ip packets to the
proxy
then to the internal server.  Your not accomplishing anything different
then
directly forwarding the port 80 packets to your internal owa server.  I
only
say this because your behind the PIX firewall.  I could understand if
you
were behind a proxy server but this is not the case.

I'm assuming your using some type of access-list entry like:
access-list 100 permit tcp any host (external_ip) eq www 

and then a corresponding conduit (or static) command for your internal
server (proxy)
static (inside,outside) tcp (external_ip) www (internal_ip) www netmask
255.255.255.255

Simply change the internal_ip to your owa server so that we can RULE out
the
proxy server.

Make sure you do a write mem then retest.  However, make sure your
followed my previous advise on the host headers and ip info.

Thx.

That ip is the only ip associated with the proxy.  All incoming requests
go to it first.

That's all the proxy logs seem to have regarding that connection.

Ok, so that address is only assigned to the OWA server?  Is there
anything
else in the proxy logs that might turn something up?  Proxy and the PIX
are
dropping the return path or something.  Does the user account ever get
locked out with the bad login attempts?

RE: today's admin backwards virus

2001-09-19 Thread Waters, Jeff

Jennifer,
Most everyone has already hit on the obvious, most of us use the auto-update
feature from the A/V product of our choosing.  Then we go the extra step and
use some sort of filtering, be it at the fire wall or just simple attachment
blocking in our e-mail server A/V product.  Here I block
.exe;.vbs;.eml;.shs;.lnk attachments from even getting through the e-mail
server.  Take what has happened to your site up the ladder as a reason to
put all this stuff in place!  You might get some resistance, and even some
complaints, however every time one of these things happens the efforts you
have made will be seen and will be appreciated.  TrueSecure
www.trusecure.com has some good white papers on what types of attachments
you should be, or at least thinking about blocking.

Oh, the other thing we did was, well we threw IIS right out the window!!

I have been updating virus software, scanning mailboxes, patching iis/owa

restore one webserver (although it was similiar to a slightly compressed
support.microsoft.com).  Is there some
secret to this sh*t that you are keeping from me regarding quick draw
administration or is this something you pawn off to others?

I will compensate for information. (Depending on

RE: today's admin backwards virus

2001-09-19 Thread Waters, Jeff

My users don't use OWA right now, that is something we are not even talking
about until Exchange 2000, but then we will be back in the business of
running IIS in patch and run mode as we did before we got rid of it.  I have
very strong feelings about admins that run servers and don't keep them
up-to-date on security,  getting a server compromised by a fix that was out
months ago is no longer the servers fault, now its the admins fault.   My
attachment blocking was not well received when it first started, and has
even added some more admin work as we now have to get real .exe files and
pass them on, however that added work load (about 10 times a month) is well
worth it.

I started blocking them about a month ago.  We had a user receive one, then
when it was opened up it had an .exe in it as an attachment.   I decided to
block them as I did not want this used as a conduit to bypass our .exe

of them today, however I have not seen any instance of readme.exe trying to
get through.

This appears to have worked for now.
