RE: Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe - FOR THE LAST TIME!
Shawn's Comment: The smarter solution would have been to remove the dangerous capabilities of their scripting language. Is that so difficult for some to understand? [Veitch, Michael] Sure is a very black and white picture you paint, is it safe to assume that you don't do much scripting work? How do you remove dangerous features from a script language, are you going to ask any companies like MS, Sun, IBM etc to remove many standard practices that allows a programmer to perform actions such as programmatically pressing F7 etc. Hopefully you'll agree that this function should remain. Well thanks for letting me maintain one standard method of programming. Ha ha ha, I could now use this standard method of programming to crash your workstations or servers*. Is it a fault of the scripting language, it most certainly is NOT. Most of us realise, it is necessary to have various software products in place that acts at the various tiers in order to reduce/stop these scripts/exe before they do something they were never intended to do (including exploiting issues with the underlying OS). Blaming anybody but the people that create scripts/exe to exploit vulnerabilities is pointless (judging by what I have read, those of you who feel strongly about this issue could replace by the word pointless with stupid). Why not get $issed at the people who write the programs that cause us these headaches and even the people that propagate them **. * A simple script version of the Command line vulnerability issue in NT/W2k can be created using only keystrokes and run via a script or from any office product. I believe that it should work in Java as well. Not really a major issue, it does highlight the point that the language is not the only issue here (although I believe if properly constructed in could be a real killer). ** The people that propagate these viruses/scripts are also to blame, lack of knowledge is no excuse, hey, aren't these people the real reason why MS these additional security features!

-Original Message- From: Shawn Connelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2001 7:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: It's not Microsoft's fault because Who are these customers that demanded such code features that could create destructive payloads? Most customers who have used MS OSs since the DOS days, not to mention those exposed to *nix, like the ability to script just about any change to the OS, which was sorely lacking from NT4 and before. VBS added that ability. The additional burden being that a more complex OS to configure (i.e. no INI or .conf files) means a more complex way to configure it. Batch scripting has always been a joke compared to the competition's scripting support. Do you think Microsoft pulls these features out of their nether regions? They listen to their customers when they request a feature. Just like any good software company does. To do anything else is harmful to the business. You're just repeating Microsoft rhetoric! No, I'm stating reality. I administer both Unix and Windows systems, as well as having experience with Novell. While I make my living administering Microsoft products, there are plenty of times when I look at a different solution because its a better fit for the requirements. I have a lot of problems with some of the Microsoft practices, especially with regards to security. Then again, I look at RedHat, who is taking Linux in the same direction that Microsoft took Windows NT/2000 - in order to make a computer easier to use, there is going to be a corresponding security trade off. Unfortunately for Microsoft, they made the ease of use strides before InfoSec became the issue that it is today. Microsoft, hell, the world knew about the dangerous potential of the vb scripting language for many years; why didn't Microsoft do something about this sooner? So, you're not aware of the fact that with about 30 seconds worth of work (literally), you could write a script that would alleviate all these scripting vulnerabilities on all your machines? In fact, one of our subscribers posted to the list, probably around either Melissa or ILOVEYOU, everything you needed to make that change via a login script. Again, the onus here rests on the Administrator to know and understand the ramifications of technologies, and to make an informed decision as to whether or not they are employed. Being a manager, it should be that much easier to disable unnecessary services on your users' machines. I only know of one OS that is truly security focused. All others look at security as a small piece of their total strategy. Roger -- Roger D.

I have customers who utilize scripting technologies in their Exchange forms. Yes, but do those scripts need unrestricted access to the entire local system? Could they not be implemented in a (theoretically) secure sandbox? In some cases, yes, they do. In others, they only need access to one application. For instance, we use an expense reporting tool that uses your MAPI profile to email reports from the clients to its server. So, it has access to your MAPI profile only - it still has access to do exactly what Melissa and ILOVEYOU did. Scripting languages are only useful to the extent at which they can access system resources. Given the choice between script viruses and having to use a different interface, I think most companies would choose the different interface. Do you disagree? I have no idea what you're talking about. Seems to me that every useful scripting language is potentially dangerous. True. However, most scripting languages don't automatically execute when emailed to you... :-) Neither does VBScript.

OWA 2000? It's possible that some of the cybercafes had firewalls that claim to pass http1.1, but in fact do not do it properly. This results in your being able to get into OWA but then not see messages in the Inbox (amongst other things).

RE: Does The Exchange 2000 work without DNS?
Have you tested any of this in your lab? Installing E2K into your production environment without any testing is um... sub-optimal. DNS does not need to be installed on the box Exchange is installed on, but E2K absolutely needs properly functioning AD and DNS in the environment to function properly. There are a number of good whitepapers, and there's a brand new book by Jim McBee on E2K I think you're still heavily in the research phase and ought to save potential implementation questions until after a few weeks of serious reading.

E2K Mailbox Manager Question
I've been running the E2K Mailbox Manager for the last few weeks, using it to delete all email older than 30 days. Suddenly, it has stopped working. (Or at least it has stopped notifying me that it's working.) I've tried setting it up again, to no avail. Anybody know why it might have stopped working? Or what I could monitor to figure it out? There's nothing in Event Viewer about it. The only change I've made to the server since it stopped working was applying the information store patch (Q30451engi386.exe).

So, you're not aware of the fact that with about 30 seconds worth of work (literally), you could write a script that would alleviate all these scripting vulnerabilities on all your machines? Why should *I* have to clean up after *Microsoft's* mistakes? I paid good money for their software; it is unreasonable to expect it to be secure in the default configuration?

RE: Emails sent twice: once plain text, once HTML
Hi Tom, I will answer the questions in-line. On Sat, 10 Nov 2001, you wrote: I'm not really sure what your architecture is here. Are you saying that you have two separate email systems; one for internet mail and one for intranet mail? My first question, if this is the case, is why? Yes, one server is located in the office for internal mail (it is also the SMTP Server - we only send emails thru this server). The other server is located externally at a hosting company. We only check our external mail from this server, and do not use it for sending our mail. Why? Well the best reason is cost. We have to pay for external traffic (traffic that flows from the office to the outside). So when we email each other internally we don't have to pay for the traffic. If the above is correct, you have probably made a change on your Linux system that is causing it to have an issue with the fact that E2K sends each message as both plain text and HTML. If that is the case you can either find out what you changed and remove the change or get your Linux people to fix it. The next option is to change the default Internet Mail Format to just plaintext. Nothing has changed on the linux system. I am the Linux people. By default E2K sends all internet mail as both plaint text and HTML. Some non-Exchange systems have trouble with this. For those domains that have an issue you can set up domain exceptions under Global Settings/Internet Message Format in ESM. Choose to send plain text OR HTML rather than both. So its a feature that internet mail is sent twice? OR am I misunderstanding? But right now, my setting is Message test as unformatted Text. The both is unchecked. If your problem is just with a few external domains, you might want to try an exception for one of the effected domains to see if the result is better.

There is no need for me to use scripts to create the mailboxes, the UI works fine. So anyone else know the magic max. no. which can be created this way? Regards E. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Simultaneous mailbox creation Well, I think by default not all 80k users would be displayed ADUC, so at most it would be whatever the default subset limit is... :) Have you thought about just creating the users as mail enabled or mail enabling them via script instead of the UI?

RE: Emails sent twice: once plain text, once HTML
I've seen this happen on some of the other lists I'm on. Thank heaven for procmail and mutt. :) It seems only the HTML replies from Outlook 2xxx users on Exchange 2k that have this happening. Perhaps the IMC isn't converting something? I don't have a 2k box to track it down on. But it doesn't appear to be the Linux boxes running Major-Domo CGI or Lyris that are the cause, just a common link.

On Sat, 10 Nov 2001, you wrote: I'm not really sure what your architecture is here. Are you saying that you have two separate email systems; one for internet mail and one for intranet mail? My first question, if this is the case, is why? Yes, one server is located in the office for internal mail (it is also the SMTP Server - we only send emails thru this server). The other server is located externally at a hosting company. We only check our external mail from this server, and do not use it for sending our mail. Why? Well the best reason is cost. We have to pay for external traffic (traffic that flows from the office to the outside). So when we email each other internally we don't have to pay for the traffic. If the above is correct, you have probably made a change on your Linux system that is causing it to have an issue with the fact that E2K sends each message as both plain text and HTML. If that is the case you can either find out what you changed and remove the change or get your Linux people to fix it. The next option is to change the default Internet Mail Format to just plaintext. Nothing has changed on the linux system. I am the Linux people. By default E2K sends all internet mail as both plaint text and HTML. Some non-Exchange systems have trouble with this. For those domains that have an issue you can set up domain exceptions under Global Settings/Internet Message Format in ESM. Choose to send plain text OR HTML rather than both. So its a feature that internet mail is sent twice? OR am I misunderstanding? But right now, my setting is Message test as unformatted Text. The both is unchecked. If your problem is just with a few external domains, you might want to try an exception for one of the effected domains to see if the result is better. It seems to be coming only from about half the users, to anywhere they send emails. Tom. -Original Message- From: Allison Wittstock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 12:04 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Emails sent twice: once plain text, once HTML Hi, A recent problem has appeared in which emails sent by the Exchange users are being received twice. The plain text message header shows it being sent from the user machine, to the internal linux mail server to the recipient. The HTML mail has the same sent-time, but the receiving time is minutes later. The header for these mails show it going to the Exchange server to the recipient. Is there a way to stop this without removing the Internet Mail account from the Services list? The users need to check both the internal mail (Exchange) and the external (Internet Mail). The clients are using Outlook 2000 and the server is 2000 also. Note: Although the Exchange server has been in place for some months, this problem has recently appeared.

RE: I need help with edb*.log files
I found this.so I will go with it PSS ID Number: Q240145 Article last modified on 10-10-1999 winnt:5.5 == --- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 --- SUMMARY === Exchange Server database transaction logs record all changes to an Exchange Server database. Over time, these logs accumulate and use all disk space if they are not permanently deleted. Exchange Server automatically deletes unnecessary log files by either of the following methods: - If circular logging is enabled, the system deletes transaction logs soon after they have been written to the database file. Circular logging is the Exchange Server installation default. - If circular logging is disabled, the system deletes excess logs after a full or incremental backup. You may occasionally need to remove transaction log files manually if you have run out of disk space or anticipate such an event before a backup can be made. Removing logs yourself can be dangerous to the database. If you remove a log that contains data that has not yet been written to the database file, you will almost always damage the database and make it unstartable. NOTE: Removing a transaction log file means moving it to another location where it can be backed up, stored, or deleted, depending on your needs. Deleting is a kind of removal that does not permit you to back up or restore the log file. This article explains how to tell which log files can be safely removed without risk to the current database file. MORE INFORMATION After Exchange Server has written all information from a particular transaction log to the database file, that log file will be accessed again only if a previous backup of the database is restored. The log is now in the past of the database. But if a backup is restored, the log is in the future of the restored database. Its information can be applied to the database to bring it up to date. IMPORTANT: When you remove excess transaction logs, you should move them rather than delete them in order to preserve this roll forward capability. The following steps apply to both the information store and to the directory service. To determine which log files can be safely removed: 1. In the Exchange Server Administrator program, view the working path for the database. Path locations are found on the Server object's Database Paths properties page. The checkpoint file (Edb.chk) is located in this path. If the Administrator program is unavailable, you can view the working path in the system registry. Run Regedit.exe and expand the following registry key. For the information store: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Parameters System\Working Directory For the directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeDS\Parameters \DSA Working Directory 2. At a command prompt, change directory to the working path folder. View the header of the Edb.chk file with Eseutil (Exchange Server 5.5): eseutil /mk edb.chk (without the quotation marks) or Edbutil (Exchange Server 4.0 and 5.0): edbutil /mk edb.chk (without the quotation marks) Note that the screen output is similar to the following: Microsoft(r) Windows NT(tm) Server Database Utilities Version 5.5 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1991-1998. All Rights Reserved. Initiating FILE DUMP mode... Checkpoint file: edb.chk LastFullBackupCheckpoint (0,0,0) Checkpoint (157,2860,500)comment: Checkpoint is in log 157 decimal FullBackup (90,8,10) FullBackup time:1/15/1999 18:18:36 IncBackup (0,0,0) IncBackup time:0/0/1900 0:0:0 . . . The three numbers on the Checkpoint line represent the log file generation number, a sector offset into the log file, and a byte offset into the sector. Write down the generation number. 3. Convert the generation number into hexadecimal. In this example, decimal 157 translates to hexadecimal 9D. Exchange Server log files are numbered with five hexadecimal digits (for example Edb12345.log). Leading zeroes are used to pad the log number out to five digits. Thus, the checkpoint log file from the preceding example is Edb0009d.log. NOTE: You can use the Scientific mode of the Windows Calculator to convert from decimal to hexadecimal. Start the Calculator, and on the View menu, click Scientific. Enter the decimal number, and click Hex. 4. The checkpoint log itself may not be found in the Transaction Logs folder, but you will always find a log file one number lower than the checkpoint. For example, the Edb0009d.log file may not exist, but the Edb0009c.log file does. The reason for this is that

Over time, these logs accumulate and use all disk space if they are not permanently deleted. Exchange Server automatically deletes unnecessary log files by either of the following methods: - If circular logging is enabled, the system deletes transaction logs soon after they have been written to the database file. Circular logging is the Exchange Server installation default. - If circular logging is disabled, the system deletes excess logs after a full or incremental backup. You may occasionally need to remove transaction log files manually if you have run out of disk space or anticipate such an event before a backup can be made. Removing logs yourself can be dangerous to the database. If you remove a log that contains data that has not yet been written to the database file, you will almost always damage the database and make it unstartable. NOTE: Removing a transaction log file means moving it to another location where it can be backed up, stored, or deleted, depending on your needs. Deleting is a kind of removal that does not permit you to back up or restore the log file. This article explains how to tell which log files can be safely removed without risk to the current database file. MORE INFORMATION After Exchange Server has written all information from a particular transaction log to the database file, that log file will be accessed again only if a previous backup of the database is restored. The log is now in the past of the database. But if a backup is restored, the log is in the future of the restored database. Its information can be applied to the database to bring it up to date. IMPORTANT: When you remove excess transaction logs, you should move them rather than delete them in order to preserve this roll forward capability. The following steps apply to both the information store and to the directory service. To determine which log files can be safely removed: 1. In the Exchange Server Administrator program, view the working path for the database. Path locations are found on the Server object's Database Paths properties page. The checkpoint file (Edb.chk) is located in this path. If the Administrator program is unavailable, you can view the working path in the system registry. Run Regedit.exe and expand the following registry key. For the information store: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Parame ters System\Working Directory For the directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeDS\Parame ters \DSA Working Directory 2. At a command prompt, change directory to the working path folder. View the header of the Edb.chk file with Eseutil (Exchange Server 5.5): eseutil /mk edb.chk (without the quotation marks) or Edbutil (Exchange Server 4.0 and 5.0): edbutil /mk edb.chk (without the quotation marks) Note that the screen output is similar to the following: Microsoft(r) Windows NT(tm) Server Database Utilities Version 5.5 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1991-1998.

Sounds like there is a configuration error at one end of that x.400 connector.

RE: Hi
Hi my old friend. Ok, Darcy, I'm going to digress a bit for the list (sort of like old times) and see what kind of responses it generates. Let's see if anything has changed in the past two years. VoIP is or will be interesting, depending on where one is. I think we are not ready for it. Back in February 1996 I was invited to an all hands meeting of the Exchange team (their Friday stand-up) back when they were still in building 16. The occasion was an opportunity to have a customer representative come in and say some words of encouragement about how important the work they were doing was. In the remarks I mentioned that from where I stood, what Microsoft was building was a telephone system. Most did not understand why I said that. Over the next few years Microsoft passed up several opportunities to build or acquire the missing Exchange telephony components, but oddly, they did build an MCU. I think that was a knee-jerk reaction to the IBM-Lotus acquisition of DataBeam, and its integration into the Notes product line. Cisco did not miss a beat however, and has been off building a very credible system, with their two cornerstone pieces coming from their acquisitions of Selsius and Active Voice. I understand that Microsoft has made some noise about building an IP/PBX as a part of the Exchange family, but they are way late to the party. Also, I and think more on point to the problems that the Exchange community faces in becoming the core players in a world of converged systems, is that we now have a five year legacy of Exchange operations being architected and installed as though it's primary function was e-mail and group calendaring, as opposed to being core communications infrastructure equipment. Perhaps the difference is subtle, but it is hugely significant. This operational culture will not be easily changed. So what is Exchange? Is it an application service that is a creature of traditional file servers and server rooms? Or is it something more akin to the network itself, and as such is primarily a creature of switch rooms and data closets? What is Exchange's primary bread and butter client? Is it the currently shipping versions of Windows running on the old x86 architecture? Or is it an embedded system real time communications client that also does web and thin client stuff natively? I think we have to get on track with the right answers to these two questions before we even have a chance of doing Exchnage VoIP integration well. Of this I am certain, one cannot successfully navigate the Road Ahead (apologies to Bill, :-) ), by looking in the rear view mirror. That is a strategy for causing a bad accident. -Original Message- From: Darcy Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 9:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Hi I will be doing integration with VoIP as soon as we get upgraded to 5.5 sp4.

RE: It's not Microsoft's fault because....
I think it has quite a lot to do with ease of use. The mindset may be that products that are easier to use will sell more copies. If you have to go into an application and set a couple hundred options just to allow/disallow things, then people may not want to use the product. Being easy to use right out of the box is a huge selling point for MS. I dont think it is a matter of demanding insecure features, I think it is more of demanding to do whatever they want to configure the application to suit their needs, which then opens up security risks. They need to keep it open enough so that when someone creates a custom form in Outlook, they dont have to programatically check various registry keys and settings to see if the necessary settings are available and if they are not, enable them. For a developer having to write 600 lines of code to make sure everything is set right before launching the form would be an enormous amount of work compared to editing a key to allow .exe files to show up. Granted that may be the more secure way of doing things, but then people may not want to develop for that platform. Microsoft made a lot of money off Windows and Office being extremely easy to develop for and use. With that there is security risks. If they started to make it difficult and a lot of work for developers, they would loose a portion of the bread and butter. There would be a lot less MS/Windows/Office developers out there. Which I guess isnt a BAD thing. :-) Mike -Original Message- From: Benjamin Scott Sent: Mon 11/12/2001 12:00 PM To: Exchange Discussions Cc: Subject: RE: It's not Microsoft's fault because On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Chris Scharff wrote: Why should *I* have to clean up after *Microsoft's* mistakes?

If you're not going to add anything useful to the conversation, why even have it? Alright, I will concede that was a bit heated, but that attitude really irks me. Some customers demand insecure features. Granted. Historically, Microsoft has implemented those insecure features by default, leading to security problems for everyone. Other customers have demanded products designed with security in mind. Microsoft blames the problem on customers not installing fixes. Am I the only one who sees the inconsistency with this? Why does Microsoft only listen to the demands of customers who want insecurity? Why don't the demands of people who want more secure products count? My issue is not with installing updates or correcting insecure defaults. I am perfectly capable of doing so, thank you very much. My issue is that the problem does not appear to be caused simple programming errors, but through a continued disregard for security on the part of Microsoft. That makes my job harder than it needs to be, and that is not something I like.

I'll do this one better. Nimda would not have effected UNPATCHED servers, had proper security techniques been followed. Nimda required the IUSR_MachineName account to have read access into the \WinNT tree.

Mailing between separate organisations
Hi I have two separate organisations in separate NT Domains on same Lan. Any ideas how I can setup Exchange 5.5 to allow mailing between the two. I know that the Directory cannot be replicated between orgs.

Assigning inbox to Rules Object for few exchange users gives MAPI _E_INVALID_ENTRYID
Dear friends, We have developed a web application which allows our Company's Exchange 5.5 users to manage(add/edit/delete)thier rules for thier inbox (similar to outllok rule wizard)from a web interface. We are using Rule.dll found in Exchange 5.5 Platform SDK to create the rules from ASP pages hosted on a IIS. Code runs properly for some users but fails for some other users. 3 Steps to Reproduce the Behaviour 1Set delivery to Personal folders through the services options in Tools option of Outlook This create the Inbox folder in your Personal folder which becomes a specialfolder you can never delete the folder even if u want. Now if you want , you can reset the delivery back to Mailbox or keep it pointing to personal folders itslef..This wont affect the remaining steps behaviour (Now for outlook 97 clients...u can directly run the code in step 3 to get the desired error but for outlook 2000 ..u need to follow step 2 also) 2Now using Outlook rule wizard ,create a client side rule for the inbox(e.g move messages from inbox to some personal folder) turn on the rule 3Now run any of the following two sets of code -- Set objInbox = objCDOSession.Inbox set colRules = server.CreateObject(MSExchange.Rules) colRules.Folder = objInbox ---OR--- Set objInfoStore = objCDOSession.InfoStores (2) Set objPrivateFs = objInfoStore.RootFolder.Folders For Each objFolder in objPrivateFs If objFolder.Name = Inbox Then Set objInbox = objFolder Exit For End If Next colRules.Folder = objInbox For both the cases , U will see the following error at colrules.folder=objInbox -2147221241006~ASP 0177~Server.CreateObject Failed~The operation completed successfully which corresponds to MAPI_E_INVALID_ENTRYID 4Turn off the outlook client side rule created in step 2 ...the code works fine.. Turn on the outlook rule again..u will get the same error. Remove the personal folders..u still get the same error. Set delivery to back to Mailbox or personal folders..u still get the error.. Observations : 1I am very sure that the Inbox folder being passed from my code is the correct folder for which i want to set up rules thru my code. 2It looks like that code inside the RULE.DLL is fetching entry id for inbox for wrong default store failing when it finds two Inbox entry ids (one for Mailbox another for Personal folder in trooubled profiles )in the Exchange Server... We tried to debug into Rule.dll sourcecode(available in platsdk) in VC++ --- Created a pointer to the IRules interface. I have used the function PutFolder(IDispatch *pVal) in Rules.dll for assigning the folder,the function internally calls put_Folder(LPDISPATCH newVal) of the CRules class. The function load(LPSRowSet lpRowSet) of the CRules class inside put_Folder(LPDISPATCH newVal) is returning 80040107 (MAPI_E_INVALID_ENTRYID). Further I went inside the load(LPSRowSet lpRowSet) function wherein its calling a function load(LPSRow lpSRow,ULONG ulIndex) of CRule class. This function calls the funtion load(LPACTIONS lpActions) of class CActions which calls funtion load(LPACTION lpAction) of class CAction. When the ulIndex is 3 i.e third time.. the MethodInvoke(_Module.m_pCDOSession,_T(GetFolder),varResult,dispParams,DI SPATCH_PROPERTYGET) function is returning 80040107 (MAPI_E_INVALID_ENTRYID). This is happening for some users while others are getting return value of 0 (SUCCESS). --- Expecting some workaround fromu guys...

Nimda required the IUSR_MachineName account to have read access into the \WinNT tree.

RE: It's not Microsoft's fault because....
I wouldnt say it is a flaw. It can be a bad thing, but not a flaw. MS software out of the box has been historically access unless denied where as the other big players are denied until granted access. It is that way no matter the file system, it just the way MS has it setup out of the box. For people from the Novell or *nix world, this is something they have a hard time remembering. I wish MS would use the denied until granted access mindset, but that will probably never happen. At least not in the short term.

On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Mike Carlson wrote: For a developer having to write 600 lines of code to make sure everything is set right before launching the form would be an enormous amount of work compared to editing a key to allow .exe files to show up. Granted that may be the more secure way of doing things, but then people may not want to develop for that platform. Microsoft made a lot of money off Windows and Office being extremely easy to develop for and use. With that there is security risks. I think you make a good point. What may have been a good approach in the short term (very easy to work with, but insecure) is not so good in the long term (it is still insecure, leading to many upset customers). I wonder, what happens next? Microsoft has said they will be moving to make things more secure. Assuming they follow through, does that mean people will move away to easier-but-less-secure platforms, restarting a cycle? Or will it mean security becomes a fundamental for Windows/Office programming (which, I would argue, it should be)? Would people still like Exchange so much, if it was more secure but less convenient? I know *I* certainly would, but I'm not an Exchange programmer. I wonder, how hard would it be to design a model that is secure by default, but easily opens up access to software with the proper authorizations? I suspect that would require moving most of the scripting intelligence into the server, where it can be protected better.

I just looked and saw that I was using it but was reading in the disaster recovery why it's good NOT to use it. Mike Circular logging = BAD on mailbox server 200 logs in one day?

Nice. I think that wraps up the point of this thread. :) -Original Message- From: Drewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 1:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: It's not Microsoft's fault because It's not a flaw, it's a design feature. Look, Windows is simply built differently than Unix. Not worse or better, but different. NT needs several steps to get secure, many forms of Unix (hi, William!) don't.

A properly secured server would have that directory (and ALL directories outside Inetpub\www) explicity denied permissions. If you came from a different background, that _would_ be a flaw in the promiscuous-by-default design of the NTFS file system.
