RE: getting heaps of spams

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Or vice versa - someone used us (bordersgroupinc.com) as a bogus return
address (@, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to spam another company (again, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
so
we got lots of NDRs from this other company. (~40,000/hour)

Are they NDRs going to places like Yahoo? Someone could be using you to
generate a "reverse" relay. Basically they deliberately stuff the
messages with From addresses of the actual victims and send those
messages to the bogus addresses at your domain. This generates the NDRs
that then bounce back to their "originators", spamming them.

Another theory is that they are spamming you with a dictionary type
attack (generating all sorts of string combinations) hoping to hit valid
addresses in your domain, and using bogus From addresses. For every
successful hit there are a ton of failed attempts that result in NDRs
that are now heading back to bogus Yahoo addresses.

James, few of these emails are directed to my domain,
however the large portion of these junkies are going

Answering myself here...

This is one of those big reasons why I believe that everyone should be
familiar with the SMTP RFCs (2821 and 2822).  You have to know what
you're looking at to understand how to diagnose issues that come up.

If you're not willing to learn how to read the dipstick, you better be
willing to pay a mechanic to check the oil for you every so often.

This isn't meant to be a slam on Mr. Hansen, rather a handy example to
all the readers of the value of some basic knowledge of how the things
you are responsible for function.

No, just advertising that AUTH LOGIN is available isn't the bad thing.
There was not an authentication done in that transaction.  That message
was accepted, as messages from "postmaster" ought to be.

What would be bad is if your server then tried to make an outbound
connection to chaudhry.co.uk (assuming that's not one of your internal
domains).

Paying attention to differences between GMT time and local time, yes the

If you haven't had the logging enabled, there won't be anything to look

Tracking logs are different.  They're not really human readable and they
don't let you know the auth information.

If you have Logon Success auditing turned on, you should get events in
the security event logs, but they're not limited to SMTP or indicated as
SMTP, so they're tougher to diagnose than using the protocol logs as
previously described.

Learn to think like Microsoft

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Exchange 2000

Problem:  All of a sudden we were rejecting connections for random
servers.  It seemed like they were servers that we had (internal)
problems looking up DNS for.  However, the box was NOT checked to do a
reverse DNS lookup for incoming mail.

Confirmed that the internet facing server was doing DNS lookups using
NetMon.

Answer: Due to a problem on Monday 11/17, we entered a list of servers
into the Accept All But Those Listed Below section on the Access->
Connections properties page of the Default SMTP Virtual Server.  Most of
the list was done by DNS name rather than by IP.

This meant that all connections were looked up in DNS to confirm that
they were NOT on the deny list.

However, since it's Microsoft, if it couldn't resolve the DNS, it would
refuse the connection.

Removed the DNS names from the list, stopped and started the Default
SMTP Virtual Server, and voila, it works.

File this one away.

RE: Disk Space Threshold

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

We got under that at one point. ;)

I didn't think of phrasing it like that - Thank You Neil.  Yes, that is
approximately what I mean, except that none of the services stopped.
The MTA stacks were still running, SMTP svc was still running.

The best answer I have gotten so far is that if one of the resources
necessary (disk, cpu, memory) is pegged Exchange will stop delivering
mail.  It is entirely possible that the cpu or memory were maxed out and
that was why.  I don't know what the disk space was at when it stopped
delivering (4am).  

If I find out somehow that there is a "threshold" for disk space at
which point Exchange will stop delivering, I will let everyone know.

Thanks for all the answers and help

Subject: RE: Disk Space Threshold


I read your e-mail.  I provided a solution that will prevent that from
happening in the future.  You didn't say that you didn't require help
with the badmail directory, so I didn't know you'd already fixed that.

So what you want is this?


Free Disk Space

To ensure that enough disk space is available to use virtual memory and
store application data after an application is closed, use the server's
Monitoring tab to add performance limits. When the amount of available
memory falls below a specified limit, the free disk space monitor is
identified on the Monitoring tab with a warning or critical state icon.
You can set a limit for a warning or a critical state, or you can set
both limits.

To set limits for free disk space:

If you have not already done so, select an Exchange 2000 Server monitor
for Free Disk Space, and then click OK. 
In Disk Space Thresholds, in Drive to be monitored, select an available
drive. 
To set a warning state threshold, select the Warning state (MB) check
box, and then type a number in MB that identifies the smallest amount of
disk space on which your server should operate before a warning icon
appears. 
To set a critical state limit, select the Critical state (MB) check box,
and then type a number in MB that identifies the smallest amount of disk
space on which your server should operate before a critical state icon
appears. 


Note   If you also set a warning state limit, the value for the critical
state limit must be less than the warning state limit.

If you want to monitor multiple hard disks on your server, repeat these
steps to add a monitor for free disk space for each drive. 


Tip   To view the current amount of free disk space, on the Monitoring
tab, click the Free Disk Space monitor you just created, and then check
the display in Current available drive space (MB). 

Combined with this?

Exchange 2000 Monitors

The Monitoring tab is available on every computer running Exchange 2000
Server. This tab allows you to define the parameters within which your
server's hardware and software should function before a warning or
critical state icon is displayed; for example, if your server has a 10
GB hard drive dedicated to Exchange, make sure that databases and logs
have no less than 10 GB of memory to use. Once resource monitor
thresholds are met or exceeded, the monitor displays a warning icon on
the Monitoring tab and in the Status window. Regular maintenance should
include checking the Status window and the Monitoring tab of each server
to see whether resources are low and additional re

You'd be better off simply creating a batch file to empty the contents

times a week (or more if you want).  There is nothing useful in that

Conversation: Disk Space Threshold
Subject: Disk Space Threshold


e2ksp3 on win2ksp4.

The BadMail directory filled up yesterday and the server stopped
delivering messages. 
vv
(that part is solved, no comments needed please. heh.)
^^
[Note: here is the actual question I asked:]
Where do I find the threshold setting for disk space for e2k?  i.e. At
what point does it stop delivering\receiving mail, and how do I find
that (not change it, just find it).

TIA,
Ali

Ben,

None of that is what I asked for.

But thanks.

for Threshold and it brought up lots of info.  It is a great source for

Conversation: Disk Space Threshold
Subject: RE: Disk Space Threshold


I read your e-mail.  I provided a solution that will prevent that from
happening in the future.  You didn't say that you didn't require help
with the badmail directory, so I didn't know you'd already fixed that.

So what you want is this?


Free Disk Space

To ensure that enough disk space is available to use virtual memory and
store application data after an application is closed, use the server's
Monitoring tab to add performance limits. When the amount of available
memory falls below a specified limit, the free disk space monitor is
identified on the Monitoring tab with a warning or critical state icon.
You can set a limit for a warning or a critical state, or you can set
both limits.

To set limits for free disk space:

If you have not already done so, select an Exchange 2000 Server monitor
for Free Disk Space, and then click OK. 
In Disk Space Thresholds, in Drive to be monitored, select an available
drive. 
To set a warning state threshold, select the Warning state (MB) check
box, and then type a number in MB that identifies the smallest amount of
disk space on which your server should operate before a warning icon
appears. 
To set a critical state limit, select the Critical state (MB) check box,
and then type a number in MB that identifies the smallest amount of disk
space on which your server should operate before a critical state icon
appears. 


Note   If you also set a warning state limit, the value for the critical
state limit must be less than the warning state limit.

If you want to monitor multiple hard disks on your server, repeat these
steps to add a monitor for free disk space for each drive. 


Tip   To view the current amount of free disk space, on the Monitoring
tab, click the Free Disk Space monitor you just created, and then check
the display in Current available drive space (MB). 

Combined with this?

Exchange 2000 Monitors

The Monitoring tab is available on every computer running Exchange 2000
Server. This tab allows you to define the parameters within which your
server's hardware and software should function before a warning or
critical state icon is displayed; for example, if your server has a 10
GB hard drive dedicated to Exchange, make sure that databases and logs
have no less than 10 GB of memory to use. Once resource monitor
thresholds are met or exceeded, the monitor displays a warning icon on
the Monitoring tab and in the Status window. Regular maintenance should
include checking the Status window and the Monitoring tab of each server
to see whether resources are low and additional resources, such as
memory, are required to ensure server operation. 

To monitor a server:

Start System Manager: On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to
Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager. 
Cannot Start the Application
You can manually start the application by following these instructions:
On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and
then click System Manager. In the console tree, double-click Servers,
right-click a server, and then click Properties. 
Click the Monitoring tab. 
To monitor a new server resource, click Add. 
Select one of the following resources, and then click OK: 
Virtual Memory
CPU Utlization
Free Disk Space
SMTP Queue Growth
Windows 2000 Service
X.400 Queue Growth

You'd be better off simply creating a batch file to empty the contents
of the badmail directory and scheduling that batch job to run a couple
times a week (or more if you want).  There is nothing useful in that
directory.  It is just where mail that cannot be delivered gets put.

Hm... before copying would be rather difficult, as this is from a CD.

Tried removing the A after copying, didn't seem to help.

I know this sounds crazy, but clear the archive bit before you do the
copy.  There was some version of the pst that could not be opened unless
you did that prior to copying it.  That was documented, but it was
awhile ago.

Might also try running the pst19upg tool.  If it was an old file, this
upgrades it to a newer format.  Might help, might not.  A Google search
ought to give you some places to download it.

Actually, I'm not so sure on that one anymore.  I had them open in office XP long 
after using the beta.  Burned them to cd, have tried opening them in ol2k and olxp, 
getting "... is not a personal store".

See other reply for text of scanpst log.

Remember that OL2003 creates a different type of PST (Unicode format)
that cannot be read by other versions of Outlook.  Could it be that when
you opened the PST originally from within OL2003, you chose to change
the format?  If so, you will have to open it with OL2003 again.  If OLXP
will not open it, I would try that next (open with OL2003 Beta)

Had to rebuild... had office XP, now have office2k.

Trying to open my .PST.  When I try to add it to the service, a pop-up
so

"Exchange.PST is not a personal folders store".

No, it is not checked read-only.

Ideas?

RE: PST version - revisited

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

The first time I ran it- that there were errors.  Ran it again on same pst - says 
there are 4 folders (not even close...).

Then I am able to open it, and there is one folder, Deleted Items.  *sigh*

I'm guessing what's in the log means from a scanpst perspective, I'm screwed.

 Well it would be within the VPN right. 1723 for IKE and 500? (client

You are kidding, right?  A VPN would wrap all traffic through either a

IP Protocol 49 (port 1723).  L2TP uses UDP Protocol 17 and ports 1701

Multiple SRSes

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Exch 5.5/2000 mixed.  Ex2k servers installed "in" single 5.5 site.
(3) Exch2k servers (sp3, win2ksp3) - ex01, ex02, ex03
EX01 was installed as the first e2k server.  It has the ADC, SRS, "IMC",
and IM (no users).  EX02 later installed.  Lots of users.  EX03 recently
installed.  No users.

Recently brought to my attention: the SRS service on EX03 is running.

Anyone had this happen?  I highly doubt I'm going to find any docs or Q
articles on it.  I'm looking for them anyways.

Questions:
What has been impacted by having two SRS's?
What will be impacted when the "second" one is stopped?

How many servers in the site?  How many host mailboxes?  
Any problems i.e. pinging the server from the desktop?
Is it specific to some users?
Is it specific to some PCs?
DNS issues?  PC level?  DCHP scope?
What version of IE?  Same all around?
Does it happen before or after the authentication box pops up?
What do they type in?  domain/username?  Is this different than other

Subject: Multiple domains.


Okay, weve got more than one local domain on the exchange server, only
one domain is actually used for the servers, i.e. the active directory,
the other domains are just legacy internet domains with the MX record
set as our exchange server.

To allow delivery of emails to people in the exchange organisation you
can either use recipient policies with the desired domain, or
alternatively add a new connector, add the address space and tick "allow
relaying to these domains".


We have gone for the latter option as we do not want legacy email
addresses created automatically within the domain, we only want people
who we manually create email addresses to receive email from the legacy
domain.

However, the problem is we are now getting a large mail queue for the
legacy domains as the server is attempting to relay the messages to the
end user but the email address does not exist within our organisation.
That is people are trying to send emails, i.e. spammers to email
addresses that previously existed and the server is continually trying
to relay that email back to itself and were getting all sorts of delay
notifications etc.

What I was wondering is how I can tell the server to realise that the
email address doesn't exist and bounce it away ?  Or perhaps im going
about this whole thing the wrong way, maybe someone can enlighten me :)

HideFromAddressList as true, but our Outlook Clients aren't reflecting
the change.  If I do a preview from ESM of the Gal, it shows it as
hidden?  I have restarted Outlook and pointed to a different Global
Catalog Server with no luck.  Also  it looks like if I create a new user
the RUS is not updating it.  I have turned up logging to Maximum on all
relevant stuff and no errors on a rebuild except fo this one.  All of
our DCs and GCs are up.


NSPI Proxy encountered an error while receiving a packet. The target
Domain Controller or the network or a client might be down. The winsock
subsystem returned the error:[0x2746]. The circuit that received this
error is being closed. 



Anyone else experience this before?  Thanks.

RE: Outlook connect problem with Exchange Server

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Is it the specific workstation\client, or the user?  i.e. can that user
access e-mail from another workstation?

If yes, I would suggest this is an issue with the workstation, client or
network for that one PC.  I would start looking at the client and making
sure it was a fresh install (i.e. it wasn't used previously by 14 users
that hosed the registry) etc.  Reinstalling office would be step one in
that case.

Hi all,

I have problem with outlook to access an exchange server
I do know how to set outlook up to access an exchange server.

I have 30 workstations accessing it now, it is only this one that will
not connect. Everytime I hit "Check Name" I get the error -

"Outlook could not log on. Check to make sure you are connected to the
network and are using the proper server mailbox name. The Microsoft
Exchange Address Bool was unable to log on to the Microsoft Exchange
Server computer. Contact your system administrator if the problem
persists."

Can ping the Exchange server by name and by IP.

 Try add winnt\system32\drivers\etc in the HOSTS
   file give a line for exchange:
IP ADDRESSCOMPUTER_NAME


Still can't connect 

System: Windows 2000 Workstation

OutlookXP

Exchange Server 5.5 SP4

Anyone got another solution?

Thanks
Niko

RE: Argh.... login denied.... - post mortem

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Didn't I say I was going to want to kick myself in the head?

One of my co-workers added a new server into the org.  This reset the
permissions at the org level and gave domain admins and enterprise
admins explicit deny for read as/send as at the org level.

Reasons this was so confusing: not all accounts were inaccessible.
exservice was still able to log into some accounts.  Additional account
created (member of domain admins, enterprise admins) was able to log
into accounts.  
Ok... try this again.  DA, EA, explicit deny at org level, inherited all
the way down.  But the testexch account, member of DA, EA, was ABLE to
log into user accounts?!?!.

My co-worker came back into the office and we removed the explicit deny
and things are back to normal.  Anyone who wants to speculate on why the
"test" account *worked*.. have fun.

RE: Argh.... login denied....

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

ok yeah in the techinal sense there's no service account.  But we made
one.  And I believe we used option 3.

If I look at the advanced permissions for a mailbox, exservice (it's our
creative account name...), Exchange Domain Servers and Exchange Services
all have Full Mailbox access to the account (actually, they have
everything but assoc. external).  However, exservice is now (in the past
couple days...) getting "unable to open..".

Last week I was able to just fine...

I'm still looking to see if I can find what some #$%% changed while I
wasn't looking... then I'm going to kill them and make sure no one else
can change it.

Hi, 

I have created a public folder calendar (finally succeeded), but I am
now facing a different problem: I would like to set it up as a moderated
folder, in the sense that when a user puts something in that specific
calendar it should first be approved by a specific person before the
information is added. 

The way I have set it up now is that when a person adds an appointement
the moderator receives a message, but there is no approval, and in the
calendar the appointment doesn't show up. 

Any suggestions?

RE: Users must login twice to OWA

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

We have this issue, to wit:

Users are in the NT4 domain "storedomain".  E2k servers are in AD
addomain.  Users use their \storedomain account to authenticate to their
e-mail accounts on E2k server2.

If we point them at a "front end server" i.e. server1 and their account
is on server2, it does not pass their credentials, and they have to
enter them twice.

Don't know if that helps you (and no there hasn't been a solution for
this yet)

This is a brand new Exchange 2000 environment. When users access OWA,
they are prompted for their credentials. Upon entering their

credentials the second time, OWA works fine. 

Microsoft article Q324774 describes this problem and says the solution
is to specify the default domain in the authentication tab of the Public

still must login twice.

I have also done a Google search, but I haven't found any suggestions

RE: DELETING CALENDAR EVENTS

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Properties -> permissions if you have it, or by going to the folder in
ESM and looking at client permissions.  Default should be listed near
the top, right next to Anonymous.

Default is what permissions your users will get if they are not
explicitly allowed or denied.

I am trying to set permissions so that no one can delete a set
calendar event on a resource conference room and users are able to
delete events even when they do not have permissions to the mailbox
calendar.  (or so it
seems.)
Has anyone else experienced this?  I would appreciate any feedback
on the resolution to this.

OT: Anyone tried a tablet?

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

We have a Toshiba tablet PC for eval.  Nice toy, can see some benefits.
I personally would wait a while before buying one.

I would like to get a look at the HP/Compaq.  The reviews on this tend
to be opposing (It's fast!  It's slow!  It's great!  It sucks!).

SO,

Anyone used a tablet pc?  Got one?  Hated it?  Comments?

some public folders on it.  I am just trying to get away from having to

Then set about fixing your backup software.  If your backup software is
not performing correctly, then it is not a problem with exchange.

Read the documentation for your backup software.  If it does not
automatically do this, then get some new software.

RE: eoo.log files

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Jeffrey,

Have you ever read a book about managing Microsoft Exchange?
Have you ever taken a class about managing Microsoft Exchange?
Have you ever before had any experience whatsoever with Microsoft
Exchange?

What you have done is potentially data destructive.  It is also a big
no-no.  I would suggest you do some learning before you cause any
further damage.

Here are some resources for you to investigate on your own.  I would
suggest doing this before you do anything else to your exchange server.

http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm
Managing Microsoft Exchange Server - Paul Robichaux
Exchange Server 5.5 - 24/7
Exchange Server 2000 - 24/7
Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 - Planning, Design and Implementation -

Microsoft Exchange Server for Windows 2000: Planning, Design, and

That should give you a good start.

RE: The lights went out..

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

I'd like to see the Q article for that one.

Knowledge Base  

XADM: Error -581 Recovering an Exchange 2000 Database after a full solar
eclipse
PSS ID Number: Q123456

Article Last Modified on 12-04-2002




The information in this article applies to: 

Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server





Summary
This article describes error -581
(JET_errAttachedDatabasePhotosensitivity) and provides information about
recovering the database if error -581 occurs. Error -581 indicates that
Exchange 2000 has determined that files in the database's running set
are missing or have been exposed to UVA and UVB during a full solar
eclipse. This error can also be represented hexadecimally as error
0xfb40. When this error occurs, Exchange 2000 aborts soft recovery
of the database before making any changes to the database that might
prevent the re-integration of the missing or damaged files with the data
set.

If this error occurs, ideally, you should try to restore the missing or
damaged files. If these files are unavailable, you can use an option in
Eseutil to override the error and proceed with soft recovery despite
missing or sunburned files.

RE: Calendar Problems

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Also make sure your users are indeed using the most up-to-date copy of
the calendar.  If they've used file-open-other user's folder and left it
there for a couple hours, then it hasn't updated.

RE: disappearing DL changes (5.5)...

Conversation: disappearing DL changes (5.5)...
Subject: RE: disappearing DL changes (5.5)...


Yes Tony...that's what she said.

At least one Ex5.5 server and one E2k server...read the first two lines
of her post.

Ali...It sounds to me like a replication timing issue.  I would also
guess that you have replication between the E2k environment and the
Ex5.5 environment scheduled to happen once a night?  If so, here's my
theory:

1.  User makes a change to the DL while at work...the system saves that
change.  After the given replication period, your Ex5.5 server
replicates that change to the rest of the Ex5.5 servers.

2.  User logs off the corporate LAN, goes home and logs in, then synchs.
At this point, she overwrites the current DL with the old one from her
workstation.  That older DL is then replicated to the rest of the 5.5
environment.

3.  System then replicates that overwritten DL to the primary E2k
organization.

It would only stand to reason in this scenario that if step #2 never
happens, that the Ex5.5 org is going to replicate the correct list to
the E2k org overnight.

So my question is this...Is her client machine setup so that she synchs
all changes from the Exchange system to her .ost file, when she logs off
and shuts down her laptop at the end of the day?

Just my $.02 from someone that knows nothing about E2k.

5.5 sp4 and ex2ksp3 (mixed).
User is on 5.5, uses a laptop with Office 2k.

User does use laptop "offline". (i.e. dial in from home and synch)

While at work, on corporate LAN, user modifies membership of DL (of
which user is the owner) in GAL.  Changes appear in GAL.  User goes home
at night, logs in, comes to work next day, changes are gone/undone.

But note also: User makes changes at work, doesn't log on from home that
night, next day, changes still there.  That night, takes laptop home,
logs in, next day, changes are still there from before.

So.. if she logs on from home the same day she makes changes, the
changes dissapear.  If she waits a day, the changes work.

Any ideas.

RE: Service account password change

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

That really all depends on what you feel like doing.

How many servers?  How many people have the password?  How secure is the
password?  How much work do you feel like doing?

I would say, change it as often as needed to be secure, but not so often
as to break Exchange.

I'm sure there's a Q article about it.

What's the general recommendation on changing service account passwords.
Should it be done periodically for security reasons, perhaps when an

RE: Comp Time Question

Large corp.  Hourly - restricted overtime.  No more than 1 hour per week
per employee (no joke).  Salary, no comp time, no overtime.

However, if I am here til 2am, I don't actually get in "trouble" for
showing up at 10 the next day.  But that's up to my boss.  Weekends?

Does anyone know if there is a standard policy out there for Comp Time?

I have been asked to find out what other companies do to compensate
their employees For working off hours(nights, weekends), beyond their
normal workweek.

Example:  If I have to come in on a Saturday to install a new antivirus
package and it take 4 hours, do I get 4 hours off during the week or
what?

RE: Exchange Message Tracking logs

No, Promodag charges for the eval also.  >{

The reporting software will save you a lot of headaches and look

Can any one tell me of a utility or script that I can use to import the
message tracking logs and do minimum sorting of the data (preferably
freeware/shareware).

We can't use Excel because the files are in the region of 80mb and will
be
larger soon. Excel can not handle the amount of records that I am
dealing
with. I tried a freeware utility called CSVDB but was no good for
sorting. I
basically want to be able to manipulate the data. Especially look at the
number of large messages being sent each day.

Any constructive comments would be appreciated.

EX2k... on Win2k server... what sp levels?

What have you done to troubleshoot the clients, i.e. network
connectivity, hardware, software.

1. Are they all on the same hub/segment/etc, possibly overused/failing?
2. Do the client pc's have enough resources (i.e. these are
older/crappier than the others that work)
3. Have you re-installed outlook on these clients?

outlook through task manager, I get a message, "WMS spooler not

Lee,

1. What conflicts?
2. What errors?
3. Most?  As in hierarchy, or content?
4. Hierarchy or Content?
5. Are you upgrading or migrating (with or without an ADC?)
6. If you have an ADC, is the PF CA set up correctly?

Did you actually replicate the content?  The connection agreement
doesn't do that, you have to add the replica onto the new server.

Subject: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Public Folder replication


I am in the process of migrating our Exchange 5.5 server to Exchange
2000. All of the public folders are currently held on the 5.5 server. I
have set up Public Folder replication between the two servers but after
replicating once they will not replicate again. Consequently anybodires
mailbox that has been moved to the new server can't see most of the
public folders. Also we are getting several conflicts as well.

I have set up a seperate connection agreement for Public Folders

Any Ideas

Before putting this server into production, we investigated the "maximum
number of users" - the numbers differ depending on who ran the tests.
So, assuming everyone is right, you can have between 200 - 800 users
(depending on who wrote the docs).

Again, let me stress exactly how low end, low stress, low impact, low

How can I set public folder permissions so that users can create them,
but not delete them? This would apply to child folders not root public
folders. (In the root public folders delete is grayed out)

Permissions in Outlook seem to apply to items within the folder but not
the folder itself.

Looks like a lot of Exchange admins are having similar problems with
users deleting folders.

RE: Isinted -patch fails

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

something to keep in mind when restoring:

After the restore, BEFORE you perform **anything** on the dbs, copy it
all out to another drive (or somewhere that you have space).  That way,
if your procedures don't work the way you want them to you don't have to
go through a restore again to get another copy.

My first thought. After you restored the IS to the LAB server and tried
to
bring it up did you get some kind of error?  If so, what did you do
next?

My second thought.  If you restored the IS and then ran isinteg - patch
that
is usually not good since you should ONLY run it if you see an 1011
event in
the log files.  If you don't see that event don't run isinteg.

I am having issues where I can not get anyone logged into OWA on a new
Exchange 2000 server.  I have compared all of the settings on it to
other
servers I have that are working and can not find any differences.  It is
and Exchange 2000 Enterprise server that is running on W2k as a member
server.  When you log in you get 3 prompt and then it goes to access is
denied.  Any thoughts?/

Thanks
Todd

Got this from Trend early this morning.

Dear Everyone,

This is to inform you that we have received many inquiries about
WORM_OPASOFT.A from Japan and Taiwan

Short Description:

This network worm propagates via network shared C:\ drives. 
It also has backdoor capabilities, downloading executable applications,
possibly malicious, from a specific site. It may then execute the
downloaded
programs. 
At this time of analysis, the download site is blocked or is currently
down.

This worm also scans for the computer name and domain name of machines
connected to the network and then sends this information to the download
site.

RE: The dreaded POP3

[Ali Wilkes (IT)]

Ok.  Found the answer.

In outlook express, tools -> accounts -> account name -> properties ->
servers -> incoming mail server -> *log on using -> 
Under account name, use the format:
ntdomain\ntaccount\exchangeaccount

And guess where myself and my coworker found this?

Ok in order (sort-of):

Andrey - same exch/nt id - ok this worked with one of them.  This does
create a problem in that exchange allows longer aliases than NT (read,
one of them is too long).

Andy - log show success - No, it shows no messages to retrieve (+OK 0 0)

Casey, Chris, I'll get back to you on the telnet.

No errors.  See line 10, no errors in pop3.log.  Logs in to the server
fine.  Acts like it's checking for mail, just doesn't take any of it.

exch5.5 sp4 with post hf's
client OE4

Company bought software, uses only pop3.  No way to change this now
(would
that they would've talked to me BEFORE buying software that uses pop3).

Made the mailbox.  Server and mailbox enabled for pop3.  Send mail, do
send-receive, message is not downloaded.

No errors in pop3.log or smtp.log.  Messages send fine.  Checked via
full
client, messages are in inbox. 

Any ideas on why they won't download?

(please suspend all comments about using mapi.  thanks.)
