Friday Poetry (Off-topic)
In the spirit of the Friday Haikus of old, here's one for anybody whose on call-out over Chistmas: I SAW THREE CHIPS - I saw three chips just fail and die The sysops say they came that way The server upped and waved Goodbye On Christmas day in the morning. And who was on the callout tree? To save the day, without delay 'Twas my responsibility On Christmas day in the morning. Virtual server crashed in despair: The data array had gone astray, So cross your heart and say a prayer, On Christmas day in the morning. Say where the ?!#? is my backup disk? Not in it's tray - it's gone away! It's presence will be sorely missed, On Christmas Day in the morning. Circuits fried; alarm bells ring! The spare part comes from Mandalay The DELL SAN takes a battering, On Christmas Day in the morning. So let us all rejoice Amen, This lab, we'll spray, with Beaujolais, For those who give their time again, On Christmas Day in the morning. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Send Limits fail to trigger NDRs
Thanks for your response. We have our limits in two places, globally (Exchange - Global Settings - Message Delivery) and on the SMTP protocol for each server (Server - Protocols - SMTP - Default SMTP - Virtual Server - Default SMTP Virtual Server) Where did you set the limits? On the org? on the user? On the SMTP Virtual Server? Sincerely, Andrey Fyodorov Systems Engineer Messaging and Collaboration Spherion Exchange 2000, SP3 + Hotfixes. I'm a little confused by this one, and couldn't find an answer in MSKB, so thought I'd open it to the list. We have set modest limits on the size of data sent/received in a single message. (under Global Settings/Message Delivery) However when mail is sent which is over the limit, our users fail to receive an NDR. (I was under the impression that the default was to bounce the note back to the user with a NDR saying over size limit or words to that effect) Is there a check box somewhere we have failed to tick to alert our users that their messages could not be sent due to the size of them?

Discrepancies between Mailbox Size in Outlook and Exchange
Why, when I check the size of a mailbox in Outlook 2000 is the size different to when I check the size of the mailbox in Exchange 2000 mailbox stores? Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question, but support.microsoft.com seems strangely recalcitrant on this matter. (The closest I came was Q259675 and that applies to E5.5, not E2K) Is Outlook inefficient at identifying the true size of folders? Is Single Instance Storage clouding the true mailbox size in Exchange? Does the size indicated in the Exchange Mailbox Store include all the items in a user DIRF? Most importantly, which value is the true representation of all the data a users has in their mailbox?

RE: Can this happen with Spam ?
But I believe that just turns it off. It doesn't disable it (I could be wrong, but that's how I believe it to be). A user could just turn it back on. BTW - That's called 'web beaconing' (when images are use for tracking). It's a very effective method for determining if email addresses are valid, and has been used by a LOT of spammers. We've even seen HTML emails that don't have any visible images use this by setting the width height to 0 so the image doesn't appear, but it still gets accessed. If my copy of OL2K is anything to go by, the /nopreview switch disables the Preview Pane option under View - Preview Pane. Tools - Options - Preview Pane is still there, but it's pretty much impotent. Autopreview is still available. I could be mistaken, but doesn't this ignore all the html formatting and only grab the text only? If so, this might make a safe alternative to Preview Pane. Maybe there's a tweak for a virus filter out to auto-reject all mail with img files below a size visible to the human eye. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Can this happen with Spam ?
Outlook has a /nopreview switch which alows you to turn off the preview pane for your users. When you deploy Outlook you could deploy it with this switch. I'd love to see a lawsuit raised against spammers. Something along the lines of emotional damages for receiving pornographic e-mail. Hit them in the wallet - it's the only language they understand! Is this possible in Outlook ? The article said something about with the Preview pane being turned on in Outlook, this was more likely to happen or just opening an email with this sort of an image in it could also trigger the code. How can this happen ? This means Outlook is allowing some code to get executed that passes information back to the source. Isn't there a security patch to prevent this from happening ? _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If its a delegates problem it's usually worth looking at the user giving the access as well as the user receiving the access.

Close down Outlook Run control.exe mlcfg32.cpl again. Change the profile to point to your own mailbox instead of Joe's. Add Joe as a user in the additional mailbox field under Advanced. Open Outlook. Right click YOUR contacts and make sure Show in Address Book under Outlook Address Book is ticked. Close the window and open the address book. The extra address lists should appear in the list. Note that if you're going to share one contacts folder amongst a lot of people, you may want to consider using public folders instead.

We are now enforcing stricter limits on mailbox size and would be interested in something like this. For ongoing maintenance, is Outlooks Autoarchiving a viable solution? i.e. does this move mail out of the server information store and into a PST in the users local profile? There are good reasons to avoid using .pst files. Notably, that they can get unstable (especially 1Gb) and you are saving the data off of your Exchange server, so you won't know where it is when you have to perform an emergency backup. (See the FAQ for more reasons why pst = BAD) It sounds to me that you need to up the storage limits for particular users, which - from a technical, rather than a political, perspective - probably isn't much of an issue. However, I'd advise using some kind of charging mechanism - if a user wants extra storage they have to pay for it. This should hopefully encourage your users to perform some rudimentary housekeeping and keep the number of claimants down to legitimate levels. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:leave-exchange;ls.swynk.com Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: isnje?
I've managed to work out what it is. IS = Information store, NJE is concerned with logical units and SNA. Presumably isnje joins the two. If it couldn't run for some reason - which is what happened yesterday - SNA won't work with exchange, which in turn means the connection services for PROFS calendars and mail can't run, hence why the conncetor failed. A reboot sorted the problem out, though whether the failing is derived from some activity on the mainframe or the Exchange server has yet to be ascertained.

RE: Outlook Rules
I've always found rules in Outlook to be somewhat unreliable at best. If you're really planning on forwarding all mail sent to mailbox X to internet address Y, you can set up a custom recipient of address Y (probably hiding it from the GAL) then use Forwarding Address (under Delivery Options in Exchange General) to forward the mail on. Personally I wouldn't advise automatically forwarding mail out to the internet as you can run the risk of a mail loop. Alternatively you could have an Outlook rule file the mail into a separate folder and then from time to time manually Forward Items on the mail in that folder. I have an Exchange 5.5 sp4 w/IMS running on NT 4.0 sp6a. My email client is Outlook 2000 on a WinXPsp1. I am trying to set up a rule that will forward an email sent to me. I can manually forward the incoming email from X. to Y. But when I set up the rule it does nothing. The X is in my Recepients the Y is in my personal contacts. When I am manually forwarding it I select it from my contacts. When I am setting up my rule I select it from my contacts. I don't see any obvious errors but it still doesn't work. Can anyone explain to me why the rule wouldn't work if manually forwarding does??? _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:leave-exchange;ls.swynk.com Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: OOO
I have tried saying: 1. Security risk 2. Bad Netiquitte 3. Risk of mail loops How about saying that you only send out one OoO message full stop, rather than one per day. If you go away for a fortnight and somebody sends you mail two Mondays in a row, on the first they'll get the OoO message, on the second they won't - and might presume your holiday is over. To get round this the user should have stated when he was back in his OoO message, and should have left another colleague's e-mail address as an alternative. I'd strongly advise getting this made into some sort of corporate policy before you turn OoO to internet on.

Question about accepted wisdom for external contacts within distribution lists.
E2K, OL2K Quick straw poll. What is the accepted wisdom for creating distibution lists which involve external contacts outside of your organisation? Ie. You want to roll out the following distirbution list to some, many or all of your users within your organisation: Somebody who works here Somebody else who also works here A third person who works here [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it better to devolve this to public folders/shared accounts, create internal distribution lists only within an AD structure and allow users to use these as a base and create their own distribution lists with external contacts? Or should you create a subsection of your AD devoted to external contacts and allow users to create external contacts here, so that distribution lists can have the objects to point to when created in AD? My gut feeling is that the latter is a bad option as your AD can quickly fill with out of date SMTP addresses and other assorted rubbish, but is my paranoia justified. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Move mailbox = can't reveive ?
OK users should not be connected during move mailbox - no problem. But mail can't be delivered ? Let's see, this means a) every connector on every exchange server must be down, no user anywhere must be connected, or b) every connector on the source and destination server must be down, they must not be able to communicate with any other exchange server in the same org/site, but they still must be able to communicate with a domain controller. Oh, no user logged in those two servers obviously. Seems not exactly an easy task if you don't want to risk loosing mail during a move mailbox... is there any way to do this ? Every network has moments when there are few users and external mail is trickling in slowly, but still not 100% sure. Theoretically I suppose you could create an extra mailbox in your Exchange server called Saved Mail then redirect/alias your firewall so that all mail for any user on your system went direct to this account. Then move the mailboxes across, reset the firewall back to it's original state, then log on to the Saved Mail mailbox, ship out the mail there to the correct users. Finally delete the Saved Mail account. Seems like an awful lot of work for very little effect IMHO. I'd be far more inclined to advertise the process as essential maintenance, explain the consequences of not doing the task and the mail blackout effect, and then perform the task on a Sunday afternoon. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dumb Public Folder Question
OK. This is probably a dumb question, but how can I set up a public folder to automatically delete contents older than 7 days.

Thanks. I've deleted everything to the start of this week. I guess we'll see whether it works next week. -Original Message- From: Neil Hobson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 January 2002 09:33 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Dumb Public Folder Question I've found in the past that you need to set this limit such that it plays catch up, e.g. if the oldest item in the PF is 10 days old, you need to set the age limit to 11 days. The item will then be deleted when it becomes 11 days old. If you were to set the age limit to 9 days, the item won't get deleted. So the answer to your question is to manually delete the items that are older than your age limit, and things should sort themselves out.

Exchange 5.5, Outlook 2000. I suspect this discussion is going to head deep into There are seldom technological solutions... country. Please bear with me. A number of our users are moaning about OoO only sending out one response per OoO setting. It seems that they send a message to a user near the start of their three week holiday, get the OoO response, then promptly forget about this (and the fact that they can view the users calendar at any time) and send the user mail some time the next week and wonder why the work they sent never gets done. As the client doesn't have to be running for OoO to be working (it would be pretty useless, if it did) I'm guessing that OoO must be handled on the server somehow. My guess is that Exchange is going to set some kind of sent-OoO-flag Does anybody know if/where this flag is set? Presuming this is the case, is it possible to write a batch job that ran as an overnight process resetting these flags to zero, so that you got one OoO response, per user, per day - which seems like a reasonable compromise. This would remind users that their correspondents were on holiday, even three weeks after the last e-mail was sent, but would prevent mailing loops. (PS I know you can use rules to automatically reply, but the idea of a rule automatically replying to every message, fills me with a dread fear of mail loops.) _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: UK Data Protection law changes affect Exchange Administrators
I think that anybody who has to administer ANY e-mail system requires some leniency to do their job. If I'm called to sort a problem involving a user's e-mail (not necessarily Exchange, but any e-mail server or client) and that involves checking that users e-mail to fix it then I'll check that users e-mail. The way I see it is that it is analagous to the Royal Mail, if the Royal Mail can't deliver a piece of mail then they have to open the letter and check the sender's address before they can return it to the sender. The Royal Mail doesn't deliberately go around opening mail for the fun of it, and doesn't disclose the contents of anything that it has seen, and neither do I. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Email Virus Protection
We have one virus scanner on the firewall, a different one for Exchange and a third for the OS. Hopefully somewhere along the line the virus should be zapped by one or more of our virus scanners. What it can't do is protect us from users with hotmail accounts, etc. Two users last week launched Goner from their hotmail and MSN accounts, thereby infecting the firm. Because of MIMESweeper nobody else was infected, but still. We're considering putting WebSweeper on the same box as MIMESweeper. I expect we'll make a decision within the next two or three weeks. We also use NAV Corporate Edition on the desktop. Fantastic management capabilities but Symantec tends to be late to the party with their definitions. They had defs for Goner by noon but didn't tell anyone. I found out through this list (thank you, Barry). -Original Message- From: BY [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 6:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Email Virus Protection Hello Group, If you have a choice as an Exchange Administrator, would you prefer to protect your Exchange environment by installing an e-mail filtering product (gateway) at the DMZ area instead of installing an anti-virus mail product on the machine running Exchange Server? I prefer an gateway solution because I have no confident to complicate my Exchange environment if possible. It seems to me that sometimes Exchange cannot get along well with these products. By doing that, do you think I would be able to filter both incoming and outgoing mails from virus infection? According to my last year's investigation, Trendmicro was the highly recommended one to be running on Exchange server. Is this still the case? I am reviewing the solution again since the management is ready now. I would also appreciate your recommendation which e-mail filtering product you like. Also, if budget is an issue, should I introduce an antivirus product for Exchange Server or an e-mail filtering gateway product ? Thank you for your contribution.

RE: Hello, im your Exchange server
If you're running a Windows Terminal Service, you can add a script to your logon script which runs newprof.exe/modprof.exe., looks up the relevant .prf file and sets up the users Outlook 2000 configuration accordingly. Add a RUNONCE boolean and a check of the registry to make sure that you only run the script once. It also gives you a simple way to regen Outlook profiles by hacking the registry key when you need to. That's what we do here to support users who connect to OL2K for POP3 and Exchange. -Original Message- From: Joyce, Louis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 November 2001 10:11 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Hello, im your Exchange server Ex 5.5 sp4 NT sp6 Hi guys, Is there a setting on an Exchange server that allows itself to be found by Outlook 2000 when Outlook is first installed and run on an NT machine in the network? e.g.: You run Outlook for the first time and it connects to the Exchange server without it reverting to the Microsoft Outlook Set-up Wizard where you have to input the server details manually.

Missing schedule+ free busy data folder
For reasons too complicated to explain, we had to rebuild our Exchange bridgehead server yesterday. Everything has gone well (no data has been lost; users can still send mail internally and externally) except for one thing schedule+ free/busy data is not replicating between the bridgehead server and the other servers. As a consequence, users on the bridgehead server can schedule meeting between one another, but all other users cannot scehdule meetings with one another as the free/busy. The data is still available (you can open another users calendar and see it), but free/busy replication isn't taking place. The Exchange Event service is running, so presumably if the data could be replicated, it would be. Article Q184151 suggest adding the Free Busy folder to the right hand pane of the Instances dialogue box. However the schedule+ free/busy data is not in the left-hand column of folders to be replicated and hence cannot be added. The other suggestion from this technet article is to set the Editor as a default role for the schedule+ data. This role was already in place when we checked the schedule+ data. We tried running the consistency check under Directory Service on the bridgehead server, but this came back without any errors. (The setting was set to all inconsistencies, not inocsistencies x days old) Creating public folders on a non-bridgehead server (ie. non system realted ones) works. They are created and replicated fifteen minutes later. Which kind of leaves us stuck as to what to do next. Anybody out there got any ideas. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Using Profgen and Windows 2000 Professional
We use newprof.exe here in our Windows 2000 logon script to set up Outlook 2000 profiles and don't have too many problems. A few lessons from our experiences, if you go down this road: * You might want to put some sort of Has-this-been-run-before? registry key in the logon script so that the profile is only generated the first time the user logs on. It also allows you to re-generate a users Outlook profile on the fly, which is often easier than trying to get the user to run through control.exe mlcfg32.cpl. * You also might need some keystroke-scripting to set the location that Outlook delivers mail to. We seemed to have to do this. * We had some trouble automating the question to import .sc2 data in the past. I seem to remeber there is a registry that needs to be set in order to ensure that this also works, but I can't remmeber the precise key is... Of course, if your students don't have calendars, etc. This won't be a problem.
