No. All you need is Netmeeting installed on the Servers. Then, once Netmeeting is installed, you can configure it to enable Remote Desktop Sharing.

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
As far as I can see, nothing is wrong. The server ran fine for months without any restarts or reboots before SP2. We went with SP2 because of better OWA features and better SMTP queue management. Before SP2 we used to get messages stuck in the Awaiting Directory Lookup queue and there was no way to get rid of them. Those pesky messages eventually ate all the memory. We had to stop the SMTP virtual server and create a new SMTP virtual server. After SP2, we can simply remove those messages from this queue. But a few days after installing SP2, we ran into the OWA problem: When OWA gives up, there are no warnings or errors in the event log, CPU or memory utilization do not change. Everything looks the same, but OWA does not like people's passwords anymore. Although this could have something to do with Kerberos tickets expiring (or not expiring) on time... -Original Message- From: Julian Stone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 2:14 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server What else is wrong with your systems to warrant this ??

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
It has 4G Ram but... Q266096 says the /3GB switch is for Advanced Server, mine's just Windows 2000 Server Would upgrading that help? Would I get my money back if it doesn't? Before I had E2KSP2 I tried the /3GB switch anyway, and the event log recorded an event suggesting that the switch was wrong. This was a long time ago I don't think I have that event log item anymore. I've read other Q Articles that also suggest /3GB is only for Advanced Server. Meanwhile my server did whatever it does that makes it stop again this morning so as soon as I rebooted I printed screens of Task Manager showing memory usage, peak memory, cpu and will repeat the next time I have trouble - maybe this will give me a lead on which of the 100s of parameters in PerfMon to monitor for an actual cause for this problem. The event log showed MSExchangeDSAccess Topology Event ID: 2103 Process MAD.EXE (PID=1844). All Global Catalog Servers in use are not responding: exchange.JohnBurnham.com EventID.net suggests this may be ignored in single GC/DC environments like my own. The Microsoft Content Redirect link in the event log, as usual, shows nothing. Maybe this has nothing to do with my need to reboot, which I would rather schedule at night than unscheduled when my phone rings people saying stuff is in my outbox; I'm not getting email; or The salesperson I support is in the field and needs help getting their email from the internet Thanks for everyone's input suggestions thus far. -Original Message- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 11:17 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server Sounds like what I am dealing with.

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
Wanted to clarify my earlier statements: the Exchange server that we end up resetting every night is the back-end Exchange server with about 1,500 mailboxes. The front-end Exchange 2000 servers with SP2 normally run for months on end without problems. They deal with SSL and non-SSL OWA, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, Virus scanning (Sybari Antigen). All they need is a good amount of RAM and they have 1GB of it each. The back-end deals with OWA, POP3, IMAP, SMTP connections from the front-ends, + direct Outlook MAPI connections. It also runs Sybari Antigen. The back-end has 4GB of RAM and 2 Xeon CPUs. -Original Message- From: Andrey Fyodorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 2:45 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server Frankly, Exchange 5.5 SP4 that we have has been running without restarting for MANY months now.

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
In this organization every network problem is first reported as an Exchange Issue. It's probably due to the fact that Outlook is the only network application that EVERY client uses and it is usually the very first network application that they open. That's probably the reason why the network problems are reported as exchange issues. Well, that and an untrainable mass of helpdeskians.

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
I was wondering that myself; even after a few hours Event Viewer says Memory is Fragmented blah blah. I can safely? ignore that for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, then OWA will stop working, then MAPI clients outboxes slowly fill up with half-sent things and mail delivery ceases. When this happens I take a few minutes looking at Services - None have stopped, and Event logs, nothing obvious to me. I reboot and all is well again for a few days up to a few weeks.

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
Because ASP gets senile quickly. If we don't reboot the OWA server weekly, we start seeing ASP errors on the OWA server. Likewise, we can count on the IMS servers to start flaking out after a month or two if we don't reboot them. Twice monthly is probably overkill, but since the reboots are free (ie: users never notice), we go for twice monthly. Mailbox servers tend to be a bit more stable, but prior to the reboots, we would occasionally start seeing errors, and when we tried to manually reboot, the exchange services would never go down cleanly. In honesty, we started these reboots in the NT SP5 MSX SP2 days. We've not tried reducing them since we went to 6a SP3. For the people on the list who insist that periodic reboots aren't needed: please save yourselves the effort of telling me how reboots aren't required if you have quality hardware and good admin practices. The boxes are HP netservers, lotsa RAM and CPU, and are running on EMC disk arrays. Likewise, our administration is VERY conservative. We do nothing to the servers unless we fully understand and test first on separate test systems. The only software on these boxes other than NT and Exchange is PCAnywhere and Legato networker client. I like Exchange. I like Exchange a lot. But it is not bug-free. I've found that periodic reboots tend to keep obscure bugs obscure. -Original Message- From: Andy David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 11:21 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server But why are the reboots required? -Original Message- From: Ken Cornetet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 12:17 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server If you are into Perl, I've got a script that I use to reboot our MSX55 servers (monthly for mailbox servers, twice monthly for IMS, weekly for OWA).

Rebooting servers periodically is not a solution; it is just burying your head in the sand and pretending everything is fine.

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
IMS and mailbox servers have been extremely stable in my experience. However OWA5.5 does puke regularly under heavy load. That is probably due to the fact that the product was never designed to be used on a large scale. Still, the fact remains that if you have a problem, you don't just cover it up, but you keep working with the software vendors to fix the problem.

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
The fact that some people can smoke 3 packs of Marlboros a day and still live to be 90 years old doesn't mean that cigarettes aren't dangerous. Likewise, the fact that you (and others) can run problem-free computer systems without rebooting doesn't mean there aren't bugs in the software. It simply means that people have different computer environments. Different users, different software, different networks, hell, maybe different gamma rays - who knows? The simple fact is that NT and Exchange (and other auxiliary software like backup agents and remote-control) are not bug-free, nor will they ever be. Some bugs, when tickled, create subtle corruption (overwriting a random memory location, locking a resource, whatever). Eventually, some vital organ is hit and the system gets sick... -Original Message- From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 11:57 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server Sir, How do you explain the folks who run this stuff everyday without any (or little:-)) errors? -Original Message- From: Ken Cornetet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 12:47 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server Because ASP gets senile quickly. If we don't reboot the OWA server weekly, we start seeing ASP errors on the OWA server. Likewise, we can count on the IMS servers to start flaking out after a month or two if we don't reboot them. Twice monthly is probably overkill, but since the reboots are free (ie: users never notice), we go for twice monthly. Mailbox servers tend to be a bit more stable, but prior to the reboots, we would occasionally start seeing errors, and when we tried to manually reboot, the exchange services would never go down cleanly. In honesty, we started these reboots in the NT SP5 MSX SP2 days. We've not tried reducing them since we went to 6a SP3. For the people on the list who insist that periodic reboots aren't needed: please save yourselves the effort of telling me how reboots aren't required if you have quality hardware and good admin practices. The boxes are HP netservers, lotsa RAM and CPU, and are running on EMC disk arrays. Likewise, our administration is VERY conservative. We do nothing to the servers unless we fully understand and test first on separate test systems. The only software on these boxes other than NT and Exchange is PCAnywhere and Legato networker client. I like Exchange. I like Exchange a lot. But it is not bug-free.

RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server
Actually you could patch a running Linux kernel, well kind of.. If you follow the virtual Linux server stuff. It gets confusing, but you can run many 'virtual' servers on top of a real server. Each virtual server, is considered it's own node.. http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ Patching a Linux kernel and not rebooting, is like saying that you can apply Win2k SP2 and not reboot. Besides if he uses IPtables, TCPwrappers, PortSentry to block TCP/IP/UDP ports that arn't being used, then how do you exploit kernel level security holes..? -Original Message- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 3:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: scheduling automatic rebooting of server Seeing as its impossible to patch a running kernel without rebooting a Linux box, not to mention that you're running Redhat 7.2, which hasn't been available for 16 months, I'd like to know how you've not rebooted during that time.

You can upgrade the OS (sans the kernel) without rebooting Linux. (You cannot even upgrade the *web browser* without rebooting Windows.) You are wrong. A reboot won't upgrade the web browser on Windows. Rather, you muist install, reboot and Log in a 2nd time *as an administrator* to upgrade a web browser. failure to do this disables the machine.

However OWA5.5 does puke regularly under heavy load. That is probably due to the fact that the product was never designed to be used on a large scale. Still, the fact remains that if you have a problem, you don't just cover it up, but you keep working with the software vendors to fix the problem.

RE: Scheduling of rooms for events
E2K doesn't add any additional resource booking functionality over what Exchange 5.5 offers. I think Bob's referring to using the Outlook autoaccept functionality which, IIRC works under 5.5 as well.

RE: Scheduling of rooms for events
NO, I didn't add any scripts when I did this. In E2K, running Outlook 2K, as long as I can setup a room as a resource then that mailbox automatically accepts or declines apopointments based on what has/hasn't already been scheduled for that room.

RE: Scheduling of rooms for events
Side-note: This strongly depends on your networking infrastructure. Outlook 2000 2002 resource booking feature requires a RPC connection to the resource mailbox when you schedule an appointment/event and invite this resource. I can imagine a whole lot of scenarios where this is not the case. Oh, and try to schedule such a meeting with OWA ;-) If the server doesn't provide this feature it doesn't work.
