Re: stop information store

Had another episode where my Outlook clients (Outlook 2003 and 2002) showed my Exchange Server as unavailable (Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003 member server).Exchange server did not show any errors. The server's shared folders were available. I decided to stop the exchange services and

I restrict all kinds of mail attachments - HTML, .exe, .vbs., .vcf...all kinds of things. I only let about five attachment types through at all. I get a lot of complaints about it, but there's usually a workaround, and our incidence of email-borne viruses has decreased dramatically. Geni

RE: Exchange 5.5 Licensing

2003-06-26 Thread hawkinsgp
Yes, that's correct - the 5.5 CALs are no longer available, but the Exchange 2K CALs entitle you to use downlevel versions of the product. If you have 250 users and one Exchange server, purchase one server license and 250 CALs. _

Re: Exchange 5.5 Changing Domains

2003-06-26 Thread hawkinsgp
The domain is all but irrelevant. All the Exchange servers care about really is the sites and site connectors. It's users, particularly those using OWA, who need to worry about the domain. _ List posting FAQ:

2003-06-26 Thread hawkinsgp
I highly recommend going to one of the sites like mailabuse.org and following their directions to verify that you're not an open relay BEFORE you get blacklisted. It can be a real pain to get off all the blacklists, and your users will scream bloody murder.

I'd do a complete uninstall of Outlook 2002, then reinstall it, preferably from different source media. It's possible the initial installation got a bit hosed. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web

RE: Strange OWA authentication issue

Yes, it worked for the first few weeks, and then for no reason I could discern, it stopped. Both servers are in the same site. The behavior is consistent on both; neither will authenticate each other's users, but they authenticate their own with no problems at all. There is nothing logged in

RE: Monitor Email content

I worked for twenty years for Large Unnamed Airplane Manufacturer in Seattle (use your imagination). In their case, they had been sued innumerable times for breach of privacy, but in virtually every case, their right to monitor employee communications was upheld. The computers all had a logon

Strange OWA authentication issue

2003-06-22 Thread hawkinsgp
I'm having an issue with my OWA authentications (kind of like a feature in a product). I have two Exchange 5.5 SP4 servers, one running on WNT 4.0 SP6a, one running on W2K SP3. Both have all the Exchange post SP-4 critical updates and hotfixes installed. Both are running OWA right now, because

Re: Changing Mailbox name

I have a user that has gotten married, and her name has to be changed. Does anyone know the procedure of doing this. I was under the impression that if i just changed her name in the display and the SMTP address on Exchange Server, that would have done it, but it was brought to me that there
