no OWA after info store rebuild

2001-12-18 Thread steven parks

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?
(constructive ones I mean :-)

No OWA after info store rebuild

2001-12-11 Thread Steven parks

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. Is the problem that OWA is still looking for
the old mailboxes, and if so how do I get it to resync on the new info
store?

No OWA after info store rebuild

2001-12-11 Thread Steven Parks

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?

I'm not really sure what the correct permissions should be however, I didn't
touch anything in IIS and it was working before I did this.

Do you have the correct permissions set in IIS?

I rebuilt my information store the following way:
use exmerge to export all mailboxes
erase priv.edb
restart (automatically receates priv.edb)
send a message to everyone (recreates the directory structure in info store)
use exmerge to import all mailboxes

Worked like a champ except now when I log in to OWA I get failed to get
inbox (all users affected). The only articles I have been able to find say
this is a permissions problem. Not only are the 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 still looking for
the old mailboxes and can't deal with the new directory structure and if so,
how do I get OWA to resync on the new info store?
