RE: Monitoring email
The problem there is that the persons manager would have to monitor the mail all day long as this person is fairly computer savvy, they knew how to clean up their PC so there were no traces of internet sites history. Their Inbox, sent items and deleted item were completely empty when checked last night. If a person does a Shift-Delete(perm delete) does this by-pass deleted items retention feature in Exchange?

Restoring Exchange 5.5 from Veritas online backup
Hello All - I want to restore exchange 5.5 to a test server. The server itself is identical to my live exchange server - 5.5, sp4, NT4.0 sp6a I installed exchange 5.5, sp4 on test server. I restored exchange from overnight backup tape(using Veritas backup exec w/exchange agent) I can start the Directory Services, but nothing else. I tried to run isinteg -patch but received error, missing logs. I also tried running isinteg -pri - test,message,folders but received error telling me to run isinteg - patch Any help?

I'm told there is a script that can be run to stop them or one can be written. The Exchange Agent will back up the entire file, the Exchange Information Store. Instead of doing the BLB just the backup of the IS is done. Much faster. If the lawyers are really concerned about the ability to restore one mailbox, look at a tool from Ontrack called PowerControls. It allows you to open up the .edb file and restore one mail or folder or email email back to the exchange server, or out to a .pst. I used it to help recover from a disaster. It opened the file even when all of the Microsoft recovery attempts failed. I did not recover every mailbox, but I got 93.6% back (long story).

If you are non-exempt, you are stilll due OT even if your employer gives you comp time.

Grades 21-24 are paid anything over 40 hours/week at 1.5x your hourly rate. Grades 25-27 are paid OT at regular hourly rates, for anything over 40 hours. Grades 28 and above just donate all extra time to the company. However, Grades 25 and up have the ability to come in for 1/2 a day and claim a full days wages...just because they are expected to work more flexible hours, I suppose.

Steve BEGIN PASTE There is a new spam hoax being sent around the internet provided by the following company: Permissioned Media Inc., based in Panama. The e-mail will appear in your inbox and will ask you to click upon a link to view the greeting card you have been sent.

If you accept the terms of the agreement, the executable will send a copy of the e-mail to the contacts in your Outlook Address Book.

The actual program is not a worm or virus, but rather a scam to promote the company that created the spammer. The Subject of the message is as follows: Subject: %Recipient% you have an E-Card from %Sender%. Body: %Recipient%, %sender% has sent you an greeting card -- a postcard from Friend-Greetings.com.

RE: 3 Layers of Virus protection.
Trend eManager(SPAM software) does not rip apart the messages, simply quarantines them. You simply need to create a new Exchange user folder and quarantine all email to that folder. Then you can review them and forward onto anyone if the quarantine was a false positive. Our works great, especially this latest virus, we put all the subject lines from the virus in the filter and no one received any SPAM from the virus, or an Trend protected us from getting infected from the virus. Great product. ___ Brian -Original Message- From: Ben Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 12:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: 3 Layers of Virus protection. Yes, Scanmail for Exchange is Trend's product that scans incoming/outgoing e-mail. As far as Spam filters, you just need to be careful of what the actions are. When we used Symantec AV/Filtering on our Exchange server and enabled the filtering, it was quarantining everything. You could either quarantine, or leave it alone. Problem was when it quarantined it, it ripped the message apart, so if we wanted to release a quarantined message, it wasn't in the same format.

Didn't reboot. Didn't install it on the other w2ksp4-server (with Ex5.5) that is located at a branch office connected by a VPN-tunnel. MTA-traffic over our VPN-tunnel between offices stopped working this morning. Got the event 9318 from MSExchangeMTA. I turned out I couldn't even ping between the affected servers (but it worked fine pinging other computers on subnets). I checked the VPN-tunnel, routing tables, and some other things I could think of but after I while I started to suspect the 039-patch. I then installed it on BOTH servers, rebooted both and then rebooted the Watchguard SOHO6t firewall at the remote office. And then the MTA-traffic started working again So it seems that In some bizarre way the MS03-039 patch confused our VPN-tunnel so that it didn't let through traffic between the affected servers. I can't see how though... Or then again, it could be some other reason.

RE: Upgrading Exchange Server Hard Disk
What speed is this Dell server? Do you have another machine as fast or faster than this machine? If you did, you could always build a new machine with new hard drives in a lab environment(DC and Exch svr) Once the exch server in lab envir works(this would also test your D/R) kick everyone off system at 6:00pm Friday night Then backup live Exch server. Take live exch server off line - take Exch Svr from lab environment and put in production environment. Restore IS from tape and you are back online live within a few hours.

I have an Exchange 5.5, sp4 server on win 2k with sp4. In my Dell Power Edge 2400, i have two scsi disks (01) within this exchange server. Disk 1 has 3 18g hds with a logical drive of G. G contains Exchsrvr folder which hosts priv.edb and pub.edb. its like g:\exchsrvr\mdbdata\ and the two edb files. Now, G is near capacity and would like to upgrade it to bigger space. I have purchased two 36gb hd from Dell (based on Dell's advise), and ready to be backing up the G drive and the rest. I would like you to feel free to suggest any tips and tricks that u know off, or any advise. Thanking you __ Do you Yahoo!?
