RE: Exchange server mailbox deletes
Instead of turning them off completely, you can set up a server based rule to look for the notification subject line and also look in the body of the email for the deleted users email address and then just delete them. This way you will still get notifications when someone just misspells a valid user's email address.

RE: Can't move multiple message within Outlook??
Try disabling your antivirus software for a minute and see if that cures the problem.

Exchange 5.5 SP4 Lately multiple Outlook 2000 clients have called that they are not able to move multiple messages within their mailboxes or to public folders. I have confirmed that it is indeed a problem. It seems that any message with an attachment, big or small, can only be moved one at a time. Trying to move two or more messages with attachments fails. Messages without attachments do not seem to be having a problem. Furthermore, when I tried to move messges by archiving the folder, archiving failed with a message that said it was unable to move them. I used to be able to grap every message in a folder and move it without a problem. 1. Has anyone else experienced this, and do you have a solution? 2. Could it be that my the virus software is trying to scan these messages with attachments and is causing the failure? I am using Groupshield for Exchange. I have been using this for several years, and this problem never before existed. I am going to follow up with them as well. 3.

Best way to clean up corrupt calendar folder? (on server)
I had one user who could not syncronize her calendar over the air with her blackberry. The errors in the event log basically said that the CDO stuff could not access the calendar. Email was forwarding just fine. After trying all sorts of things on the blackberry server, I finally created a new mailbox (with a different username) and synced the blackberry up with that (the calendar worked fine). I then exported everything from the user's mailbox to a PST file (so I could delete the mailbox and create a new one just like it). After exporting all the mailbox contents I tried deleting everything from the calendar folder (by using view by category and deleting everything). After doing only that (i.e. not yet creating a new mailbox) the blackberry still would not sync with the calendar (over the air). The calendar appeared completely empty from an outlook 2000 client. When I tried via OWA there was an appointment still showing up in the calendar (yikes). After deleting the mailbox and creating a new one with the same alias and email address, the old data was imported from the PST and the blackberry syncs up fine now. My only question was if there was some better way of fixing the calendar short of what I did. I had tried all of the /cleanfreebusy /cleanreminder /cleanshedplus options in outlook with no improvement.

CDO update 5.5.2655.79 available anywhere?
Blackberry tech support tells me that there is a new version of cdo.dll that
may fix my blackberry server problems (some users can't sync calendars over
the air). The new cdo.dll is supposed to be 5.5.2655.79 and is referenced
in the unreleased KB article Q312273. I don't really want to pay MS $245
(is that right?) to ask for this DLL which probably won't fix my blackberry
server anyway, so I was wondering if anyone knew if this was available for
download anywhere yet? Or has anyone solved their blackberry server
calendar sync problems by installing this?
I just installed sp3a of the blackberry server which made no difference. In
the blackberry logs I get many CDO errors (for one of the two users I have
set up so far). They look like this in case anyone is a bb expert:
[40091] (04/24 16:06:14):{0x8A} GetCDOAppointment - Filter of calendar
folder failed to return appointment for TERRIG.

We recently got some dells with bogus off brand network cards in them (we specified 3com- not sure if dell or our purchasing fouled up). These bogus cards would not work with the 8 port switching hub they were connected to. We had to switch to a different 24port hub to get things running. The network would barely work (very slowly) and if you ran the built in net diag it would show many dropped packets (when connected to the 8 port switch).

The first Dell had intermittent problems in Windows 98, support was no help, but when it was updated to Windows 2000 the problem disappeared. Our latest GX240's lockup once a day on the network. Support said there are no issues but I found the issue on their web site. Installed new NIC driver, seem to help but not total answer. Support sent a restore CD and I used that on a couple of pc's, that has helped also. I feel the same way about ComPaq. They are worse.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 4:28 PM Subject: EX55 sp4: Inbound IMC messages stuck problem update A few days ago I reported a problem with inbound emails getting stuck in the IMC inbound queue. Here are some more details: This has happened 3 different times so far. The first time the IMC had stopped processing all inbound traffic. I tried to stop it with control panel/services but it would not stop. I finally forcibly ended the MSEXCIMC.EXE process with task manager and then restarted it. The first time the large backlog of inbound files started to flow and I was left with 4 messages that would not transfer. I tried stopping IMC again (it would never stop via control panel once it had seen one of these bad emails) but it would not process them even after deleting queue.dat (while imc was stopped). I gave up on the 4 emails and let it run for a while but after a few hours two more emails got stuck. Again I had to forcibly terminate the IMC process and delete queue.dat. I also discovered that if I tried to view the queues with exchange admin, that the admin program would freeze when I tried to select the MTS-IN queue on the IMC. I could look at the IMC inbound queue and see the messages that weren't being processed (and they were sitting there in the IMCDATA/IN directory). All I could do is remove them from the IN directory and stop/restart IMC while deleting queue.dat. If I tried to reintroduce one of the 'bad' messages to the IN directory (by stopping IMC, deleting queue.dat, copying the file to IN and restarting IMC) it would fail in the same fashion. The weird part is that after the first restart of IMC, it would still process other inbound emails. This happened a third time (with two similar messages) and again I moved them out of the IN directory. It has been running for a whole day now without getting stuck on a message. I looked at all the 'bad' messages and did not see anything unusual about them. I did not see anything at all in the event log for these messages. I currently have all of the imc log settings at maximum in case it happens again.

Messages stuck in IMC inbound Queue - EX55 - can't stop IMC (nice ly)
I noticed this morning that a bunch of messages were piling up in my IMC (IMS?) inbound (queued inbound). The number was only increasing. I tried to stop the IMC but it never responded to the control panel/services stop command. I finally forcibly terminated it with taskman. When I restarted it there were no error in the event log (nor were there before stopping) but no improvement. I noticed that a few of the messages were from last week and a couple more from much earlier in the day. I tried killing IMC (it never would stop nicely) and deleting queue.dat but that did not help either. I then started to move the suspect messages out of the IN directory (after killing IMC and deleting queue.dat) and I got things flowing again. But I now have 5 messages that I cannot process. I tried dropping them into PICKUP where they were immediately grabbed but not really processed. The were moved to PICKUP/ARCHIVE and errors logged in the event log that a valid address could not be determined from the message. Has anyone seen such problems and/or have any advice?

RE: Changed NIC - Andy David is GODLIKE!
OK, so maybe Perf Optimizer really wasn't needed. Maybe just another reboot was all that was needed but it is working again. I was just about ready to give our new employee a hotmail address since I could not add him to exchange. One note: When I ran perf optimizer it hung saying that it was stopping the system attendant. I checked services and all the exchange stuff had stopped. I killed perf opt. with taskman and started it again. This time it saw that everything was stopped and went right to the options screen. It did not recommend any changes, yet asked if it was OK to automatically move the files (which I OK'ed). After reboot I could once again open the IMS properties and also add new mailboxes.

RE: Changed NIC - now can't control IMS via Exch. Admin program ( hang s!) (V5.5)
Long ago we used it but have been fully migrated for a few years. It was set to disabled in services (the msmail connector) and I don't recall having clicked on it lately. I can view and change most of the properties in an existing mailbox EXCEPT for the email address tab. If I try to add an additional address to an existing mailbox I get the same hang (admin program not responding and has hourglass) as when I try to add a new mailbox.

I'm not familiar with Ed's suggestion: configure mail-enabled users. What we ended up doing for the few that wanted (a) to use procmail or (b) to be able to use mailboxes mounted off a UNIX filesystem was: 1. Create a mailbox for everyone. 2. Create an custom recipient (Internet E-Mail) user@unixmailserver 3. Set mail to be delivered to both mailbox custom recipient The users are then responsible for creating a rule in Outlook which deletes all E-Mails of type message (moves to deleted items, set deleted items to get flushed every night). Messages left in inbox are meeting requests, etc, which must be handled using Outlook. They know they have to go to outlook to do it becasue they receive a text-type meeting request in their unix account. It seems to satisfy the unix folks.

Some possibilities are: 1.)something happened to the internal database that caused this error.2.) Someone within the company tampered with the mail and read their mail, thus marking it as read. 3.)

MS says antivirus not effective on Exchange 5.5: must buy E2000
MS is now saying that even the AVAPI mode of exchange 5.5 can let viruses slip through under load. The only solution is to upgrade to Exchange 2000. From NTBUGTRAQ: === Message from NTBUGTRAQ mailing list shown below: === No real news for some, but the recent waves of mass mailers have once again demonstrated how Exchange Server 5.5 plus an Anti-Virus product may not do an effective job at handling mass mailers. But don't blame your Anti-Virus vendor, the problem comes when the Exchange Server 5.5 is put under load. How much load? Nobody seems to be able to say for sure. However, when under sufficient load Exchange Server 5.5 will simply not notify the AV product there's a message to scan, and instead pass it through to the recipient. Prior to Exchange Server 5.5 SP3, AV Vendors used MAPI-based scanning. However, Microsoft's KB article Q263949 says; http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q263949 If you select MAPI-based scanning, be aware that the vendor's software may not scan all attachments because first and exclusive access is not guaranteed. SP3 introduced the Virus Scanning API 1.0, and many vendors provided support for it because it was more reliable. But Microsoft have acknowledged that even VSAPI 1.0 can't always handle the load of an internal infection, and rather than losing messages, sends them through without notifying the AV product. Exchange Server 2000 SP1, with its VSAPI 2.0, says; http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q285667 The enhancements to the virus scanning API that are included in Exchange 2000 Server SP1 represent the next step in the evolution of the commitment that Microsoft has made to protecting customer investment. These new features, known as virus scanning API 2.0, fulfill many of the shortcomings of virus scanning API 1.0. You gotta love it, the next step in the evolution of the commitment...;-] So the commitment is evolving to, presumably eventually, actually let customers protect themselves...but we're not there yet. AV Vendors are strongly urging their customers to switch to Exchange Server 2000. Microsoft say they have no plans to make VSAPI 2.0 available for Exchange Server 5.5, so to get secure, upgrade. The number of times customers have actually been bitten by this problem is unknown, suffice it to say it doesn't happen often. Reports I've received indicate that the load required to make Exchange Server 5.5 start missing infected messages (or messages with attachments that have been indicated should be stripped) comes about as a result of one, or more, mass-mailers active in your internal network. For example, someone uses a web-based mail service and opens an email/attachment that invokes a mass-mailer. Once the mass-mailer starts bombing the Exchange Server 5.5, depending on the hardware, it can then get to a point where the load is great enough to cause it to miss inbound messages. Using the Outlook Email Security Update or Outlook 2002, both of which prevent mass-mailers from programmatically accessing the Exchange Addresses, can help to prevent infections that occur outside of the normal AV path. Using client-side AV products can also help. Consider also putting a second network adapter on your Exchange Server(s). If internal clients connect to one adapter, and the infrastructure to the other, you can more easily disconnect your clients from the Exchange Server should you detect its under load. Minimizing what your Exchange Server is doing also helps, size it appropriately and don't use it for anything else. Consider also putting your AV product on its own box.

Changed NAV to mapi/avapi mode and still background scanning...
I changed NAV for exchange back to MAPI/AVAPI mode and enabled the background scanning. It's supposed to take 1hour/gig and I have 20gig of data. My dual 200mhz server has been scanning since 2pm yesterday, but Symantec posted new definitions last night (got them at 2:00am) so the background scan probably started over at that point. I was worried that there would be a massive slowdown while background scanning but nobody has complained yet. Both cpu's are averaging about 40% utilization.

RE: Is there a workaround to use both MAPI and AVAPI with NAV fo r Ex change 5.5?
I have SP4 (hopefully the latest AVAPI) and the latest NAV for exchange 5.5. There is a MSKB article about enabling background scanning as a fix for these problems. Apparently it knows if a background scan was already completed so it doesn't get delayed as much. The downside to the background scan (according to the article) is that the entire store must be rescanned after each definition update at a rate of 1GB/hr (no hardware specified). My dual 200 mhz server maybe isn't that fast and my 20GB store could possibly bog down the server for a full day each time there are new definitions loaded.

RE: Is there a workaround to use both MAPI and AVAPI with NAV fo r Ex change 5.5?
Yes I read that one. Notice where it says: All attachments are rescanned after virus signatures are updated. Before an operation can gain access to these attachments, it is important that you plan a signature update to occur during off-peak hours. This allows time for the attachments to be scanned and made available to MAPI operations. Due to the way that some anti-virus vendors update their product, stop and restart the information store after a virus signature upgrade to re-initiate the background scanning task. After you enable the BackgroundScanning value, Microsoft recommends that you allow approximately one hour to pass for each gigabyte (GB) of attachments that is stored in your private information store before you perform a MAPI operation, to ensure that all attachments have been scanned. After that amount of time, MAPI error messages are greatly reduced or may be eliminated.

Is there a workaround to use both MAPI and AVAPI with NAV for Ex change 5.5?
When we loaded the latest NAV for exchange 5.5 it had the new AVAPI option so we had it use both MAPI and AVAPI modes. This seemed to work but several strange things began to happen. First thing we noticed is that users who tried to move a lot of messages from one folder to another would get error messages (message was moved or access denied) and only some of the messages would move. They could get around this problem by moving messages one at a time, but if they were trying to move 200 messages this would be unsatisfactory. Also, if you would try to export a users mail to a PST file, you would get the same type of error and you would end up with a PST that only had some of the messages you tried to export. We turned off AVAPI and all is good again, except I'm sure it is possible to slip a virus past the scanner if it gets too busy. Does anyone know of a workaround to make the AVAPI thing really work?

Do your content blockers stop attachment when they are TNEF encod ed?
When an attachment is encoded with TNEF, the filename is embedded in the encoded part. We have a filetype filter on our firewall machine, but it cannot tell what is in a TNEF encoded attachment. Once the file gets to our exchange server, NAV can block by extension. Since we are running in MAPI mode, I don't trust this to always catch these.

RE: Do your content blockers stop attachment when they are TNEF e ncod ed?
WHAT IS TNEF? Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format, or TNEF, is a format of encapsulation used exclusively by Microsoft to send a message using Microsoft Rich Text. TNEF is proprietary to Microsoft products such as Outlook, Outlook Express and Exchange. Lotus Notes does not have the ability to decipher TNEF. TNEF attachments can be generated in two ways: 1) if a Microsoft Exchange's internet mail connector is configured to send TNEF. The default option of the Internet Mail Connector is set to User, meaning the client can select the option of using TNEF or not. The other options for the IMC is Always or Never , OR 2) sending of 'winmail.dat' can be set in the address book on a per-recipient basis. NOTE: The Exchange setting overrides the setting in the Personal Address Book. Also note that the wording of the setting in the address book is different in the various Microsoft mail clients. -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 9:54 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Do your content blockers stop attachment when they are TNEF e ncod ed?

RE: OWA 5.5 question
Simplifying Authentication After a user enters his/her name on the logon page and clicks the link, they have to re-enter their username and enter a password in a web browser authentication window. This can be confusing for users because in the authentication window they need to enter both their domain name and username, in the form NTDomain\username. You can work around this issue as described below. This will allow users to enter only the user name and password and not the domain name also. If you're using IIS4, open the Management Console on the IIS computer with the Active Server Components. Under the Properties of your Exchange Web Site, on the Directory Security Tab, open the Edit button under Anonymous Access and Authentication Control. Open the Edit button under Basic Authentication, and enter the default domain you wish to use. If you do not have IIS4, then you can make this change by adding the following information into the registry on the IIS computer with the Active Server Components. WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the Add and Delete Information in the Registry and Edit Registry Data Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe or Regedit.exe as appropriate for your version of Windows NT). Go to the following key in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters On the Edit menu, click New Value, and then click String Value. Enter a new string value called DefaultLogonDomain with data of the DomainName (where DomainName is the name of the domain where the user account resides). Quit Registry Editor. Restart all of the IIS services for the changes to take effect. -Original Message- From: Edgington, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 7:54 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: OWA 5.5 question I'm going to have to install an OWA server for Exchange 5.5 and I'm reading through my notes... all looks like I remember with one exception...

Warning! New virus spreads just by viewing web page
Blocking EXE's and EML's at your mail server will help some but will not protect you. We have not had any email copies of this virus, yet two people got infected just by viewing an infected web page. The exploit attaches the bad .eml file to the web page, which runs the offending EXE WITHOUT ANY PROMPTING FROM THE USER. We are now blocking the .eml part in our proxy server, but in the meantime the two infected machines were trying to copy the infected EML files to every read/write share they could find on our internal network. Some curious user would just have to click on one of those to spread things more. I think IE6 and the latest service packs for IE5.5 and IE5.01 prevent the automatic running of the EXE file. I have IE6 here and I got a prompt on my screen to run or save a TMP file (which I canceled).

Norton says Orginstall.exe is a virus?
Yesterday I loaded the latest 9/13/01 NAV definitions over the old 9/12/01 definitions on our exchange server. When our backup ran at 9:00pm last night NAV reported (about 34 times) that it had detected the PWS.Cain.dr virus in C:\bork\EXCHANGE\ADMIN\INTERORG\ORGINSTALL.EXE (appartently Backup Exec retries a busy file many times). I'm certain that this is a false positive as this file has been on the hard drive for years and it gets scanned every night when the backup runs as well as once a week when a full NAV scan is run.

RE: New MS tool URLSCAN filters bad URL requests from your IIS (OWA ) server
What does it do? - It filters requests sent to an IIS server so that potential exploits never make it to the server. For example, the code red virus worked by requesting a file with a .ida extension from your IIS server that had a very long string of characters (and then some virus code) that would overrun a buffer and run the virus instead of processing the request for the .IDA file. This filter will block many of the known exploits (that there are already patches for) as well as many new yet-to-be discovered exploits. What does this have to do with exchange? -- If you are using the Outlook Web Access feature of Exchange, then you are running IIS server and you would need to ensure that this server was not vulnerable to exploits. This filter is a very good way to help protect an IIS server. Here is an example of the code red attempts it has blocked since I installed it yesterday: Thu, Sep 13 2001 - 17:30:42] Client at 208.178.142.153: URL contains extension '.ida', which is disallowed.
