The only reason I can think that this is happening is that something is
trying to create a new Tasks folder and doesn't see the real one.  Does this
profile have a non-primary Tasks folder that isn't named Tasks?

Subject: 5.5 and AutoAccept script

 For some reason the 'tasks' folder is being renamed (tasks1, tasks2...all
the way up to as high as 70) and the only common denominator is these are
resources (rooms etc..) which use the 'enhanced' Autoaccept script (from V4
from ExchangeCode). Haven't seen this before (I suppose a clean freebusy may
help) and generally the system has been fine, little change to it over the
years. What and why causes it  is beyond me (Exchange 5.5 SPK4 on Win2K SPK4
both loaded with post SPK_X hotfix's). Also the final folder (taks70) is in
fact the true special' folder yet I can't seem to rename it back (after I
delete all the folders). The only 'Q' article I found suggested Exmerge
which I thought was a bit extravagant for such a task. Anyone got a better
way?

ReadAsPlain in OL2K3

I can't seem to find a 'Q' article on how to invoke this or if possible. In
OL2K and OL2K2(XP) the registry was the same except for versions (9.0 vice
10.0). Registry entries for OL2K3 are no where near what they were for the
previous versions.

MIIS and Free Busy

2003-10-23 Thread Finch Brett
 I was actually surprised to find out that the next gen of Meta Directory

Free Busy info across Forests? I thought if they can generate a GAL, why not
Free Busy?

Resource bookings and liabilities

2003-10-15 Thread Finch Brett
A little off the topic of norm but was curious if a few who have resource
booking for LCD Projectors, laptops etc... have some kind of liability
template they send along with the confirmation of the booking. You know the
usual Risk Management mumbo jumbo, leave it in your car with the doors
unlocked and it is not covered, 'you break you buy'  etc...
 I wouldn't mind taking a look at such a template if you have one.
 Thanks...

RE: strange problems

2003-09-30 Thread Finch Brett
 I had better luck in NT4 and multihomed NIC's than in Win2K. I have the
unfortunate need to make my Exchange box a DC which is also multihiomed (The
the main DC but still). The hoops you need to go through in Win2K is pretty
serious. A lot of 'Q' articles on multihoming DC's (with DNS) and NetBIOS
etc...

Not sure about the DC in the other site. It is currently down, can't get to
it to check.

The DC in the same site that went down today was not a GC, however it had
been autodiscovered by Exchange as a Configuration DC.

Also I just straightened out another issue - this server has multiple NICs
and all of them had NetBIOS bindings (MS Client and File and Print). I
removed NetBIOS bindings from the NICs that don't need it (cluster heartbeat
NICs) as it was causing Browser to get disoriented.

Subject: strange problems
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2003 15:37:53 -0400

Hi all.

We are having some interesting problems with one of our Exchange 2000 SP3
cluster.

I wonder is anyone here has seen something like this.

It seems that whenever a DC *in another AD site* goes offline, this
particular Exchange server starts acting up: users can't connect to the
server with Outlook, ESM reports that the stores are dismounted, refreshing
the storage group view produces an error that Information Store service may
not be running, intermittently the stores seem to mount again, then again
appear dismounted.

Why would Exchange start acting up like this if one of many DCs goes
offline, especially if this DC is in another AD site?

We end up failing over the cluster to another node and the server is happy
again, until next time.


Also another (but I believe related) issue - today a DC in the same AD site
went offline and caused all users whose mailboxes are homed on this cluster
to receive Error 500 Internal Server Error in OWA. We had to change the
server properties under the DS Access tab to manually list good DCs
instead of letting Exchange discover DCs automatically, then failed over the
cluster - OWA started working fine again.

The other two Exchange 2000 SP3 clusters did not get affected by this at
all. To the best of my knowledge all these clusters are built the same. They
sit in the same rack. They are on the same VLAN. They use the same hardware.
They are up to the same SP and patch levels.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Ntbackup with Win2K3 and Exchange 2K3 (RC1)

2003-09-25 Thread Finch Brett
 I am a little too use to Veritas and Ex 5.5 so I am new to the 'STM' file
and the backup procedures of Exchange2K3 (same as 2000 it appears). I am
trying to backup using NTBackup to a disk, all the rest of the backup
completes but I can not get the Exchange portion to backup correctly. It
appears from the log, I get the volumes and (based on size) what appears to
be the Public folders but I can't seem to get the Private store to backup.
At the very bottom (pasted below) is where it fails. I've searched for the
error in the 'Q' articles, I don't seem to find anything (looking in
Exchange2000 kB's). Maybe it's just a RC bug...

Subject: Ntbackup with Win2K3 and Exchange 2K3 (RC1)

 I am a little too use to Veritas and Ex 5.5 so I am new to the 'STM' file
and the backup procedures of Exchange2K3 (same as 2000 it appears). I am
trying to backup using NTBackup to a disk, all the rest of the backup
completes but I can not get the Exchange portion to backup correctly. It
appears from the log, I get the volumes and (based on size) what appears to
be the Public folders but I can't seem to get the Private store to backup.
At the very bottom (pasted below) is where it fails. I've searched for the
error in the 'Q' articles, I don't seem to find anything (looking in
Exchange2000 kB's). Maybe it's just a RC bug...

Subject: Agent Tabs In Outlook


Greetings,

I am using the Auto Accept utility for Outlook 98 Exchange 5.5 SP4. I have
several resources that have the Agent Tab available to them in the Inbox and
I have a few that don't have the agent tab turned on. How do I turn that tab
on for all resources so that when I configure Auto Accept it works properly?

I have gone those the folders; system folders; events roots;
eventconfig_SERVERID and everything is correct.  I have assured that the
account is the same in all resources. 

Still I am perplexed and need your assistance.

Thanks!!!

It doesn't.  See, when you open an attachment in Outlook without saving it
first, it really does save it - just in temp files.  I don't know where it
saves it to (probably the same temp location), but it does not save the
original that the sender sent.  That would be quite clever if it could do
that.

My users need to be able to save the document to their desktop and modify

another issue of forgotten passwords.

We basically just need to make sure that the received attachment
(original) does not get overwritten when the user opens the attachment in
Outlook and plays around with it.

RE: Schedule backup/copy of single public folder

 I thought you could just select 'recover deleted items' by highlighting the

Subject: Schedule backup/copy of single public folder


Exchange 5.5sp4 running on Windows 2000 SP3, 180 day deleted item retention
enabled on public and private stores.

We have a public folder with around 2000 contacts in it.  Recently the
people who look after those contacts have been making a lot of changes, and
a couple of times have managed to stuff up the contents of the folder
(losing all the assigned categories).

I can't watch them whilst they work (and wouldn't want to) and whilst I
suspect it's been down to finger trouble I look after the mail servers so if
they need the contents back as they were it comes my way.

There's been nothing in the dumpster, I'm assuming changing a contact
doesn't count as a deletion of the original in the way moving it would?

I don't do bricks level backups, only online backups using ntbackup, and
it's a PITA to restore the databases to a recover server as there's about
50gb in all to deal with.

One thought was to set something up that every X hours simply copies the
contents of the folder to a backup folder which is read-only to all but the
service account (or whatever the copy job would run under).

I'm unsure what, if any options there may be to acheive this automagically -
appreciate any thoughts (guillotining their fingers isn't an option).

regards,
Paul

 Well it 'could' always be something else, that is for sure. I know myself

I'm afraid I would disagree.  I get the error occasionally myself, and am
accessing nothing outside of my own mailbox.  I've just triple-checked that
to be certain.  I have no delegates, and nobody has me as a delegate.  I
also am not synchronizing any Public Folders.

Even if you are correct, why the warning message?  Can it be prevented?

Hello All.

Windows XP defaults to blocking level 1 attachments.  I did my homework on
the issue and have found out that this can be changed at either the client
or the Exchange server.  

I was wondering how other Exchange Administrators handle attachment blocking
and what your theory on the subject?  I do not want to unblock at the server
level and want to tell users to Zip files before sending. Level 1 does not
block .zip files.

Thanks for any comments.

 Easiest thing I do is just put a delivery restriction on the mailbox
(myself only) and disable the account, hide from the GAL. Since we do not
allow OOO's this will alert someone that tries to send that the mailbox is
not being actively used and it prevents garbage from piling up in the inbox.
I also make a list of DL's they belong to and remove them during the
interim. With maternity leave extended to 1 year now, this is pretty common

RE: Online Defragmentation

2003-09-16 Thread Finch Brett
 Typically by default, every 24hours after startup is when you should see
1221 priv. So are you saying of have multiple days of logs you can look at?

I have a Server Exchange 5.5 Sp4 that when I look in the Log File I do not
show the online defrag of the Priv. however I show the Pub.

Any ideas on why this would not be running?

Hi Experts,
sorry for my little knowledge as new to Exchange. Got inherited with some

RE: OWA just quit after years of running - error 'ASP 0115'

Subject: OWA just quit after years of running - error 'ASP 0115'


Our OWA server for exchange 5.5 sp4 is running on an NT4 box separate from
our exchange servers.   The old exchange server is running nt4sp6a and
exchange 5.5 sp4.  The new exchange server (that all the mailboxes are now
on) is on windows 2000 sp3 and exchange 5.5 sp4.

A user just told me today that OWA quit working 2 days ago.  I tried it
today and just got a blank screen (no web page ever loaded).  I rebooted the
server and it worked briefly but soon will fail with an ASP 0115 error.
For example, after rebooting, I try to log in and get the name  PW prompt,
and then see my inbox OK, but when I click on a message I usually get the
following error:

error 'ASP 0115' 
Unexpected error 

/exchange/USA/root.asp 

A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue
running. 

I looked at the knowledgebase article and there are a whole bunch of things
to check, but this server has been running fine for years and has never had
this problem.  No changes were made recently and the even log is clean over
the last 3 days except for after I rebooted it and I get the ASP error, it
logs Event ID 5:

Error: File /exchange/USA/root.asp  Unexpected error

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I also see a new W3SVC error with event ID 105 that says:

The server was unable to register the administration tool discovery
information.  The administration tool may not be able to see this server.
The data is the error code.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp

I have no idea what this one means or if it is related.

Has anyone seen this type of error or have any suggestions on what to try
first?  I am thinking of re-applying exchange SP4 on the OWA machine as I
can reboot that at any time (especially since it is not working very well).
I also noticed that after reboot the WWW publishing service is not always
started and I have to manually start it (it is set to automatic).

 Yeah you make an interesting point. I myself ran OL2K3 for a spell against

Once I have accessed my mailbox on the exchange server with outlook 2003 I
have apparently infected it with the PR_FREEBUSY_ENTRYIDS property, a
fourth field in something that previously had 3.  I would have to delete my
mailbox and create a new one to get rid of the 4th field.  And once I do
that, some other rogue user will install Outlook 2003 and crash it again.

I recently put the reg tweaks in for Martin's List of Danger attachments
using NAV 2.x for Exchange and have noticed that even though a ZIP file is
not listed in my list, the .exe's and .bat's...etc inside them are getting
quarantined. This is really pissing off my software developers. Now I know
this is because I've got it set to scan within compressed attachments but
I'm wondering if either I'm missing an extra reg key so that it ignores them
(if they're not viral) or is there something else I'm not aware of that I
can do. If it's all I can do, then I don't mind going to battle with them
for it but I thought I would ask the group first.

 Well also you have to set in the registry not to turf encrypted files (or
something of that nature). I know for some areas, if they can't scan a zip,
it is turfed, that feature has to be disabled if you password protect a ZIP.

That is the nature of it. I don't belief that NAV checks the mime time so an
option would be to rename them i.e. .ex_ .ba_ etc. The other option is to
password protect the Zip files and then they will not be scanned.

RE: Changing domain membership on Exchange server

2003-08-26 Thread Finch Brett
 Well you could keep the old NT4 NetBIOS domain name and create a new AD
domain name, then there is no impact. Or read the FAQ's on this (for
renaming moving servers). Although many say it is not possible, I have twice
made the NT4 and AD the same name (upgrade only of course, when upgrading
the PDC and the time comes to select the AD name, unplug the NIC wire and it
will let you name the AD the same as the NetBIOS domain)).

Shortly, we will be eliminating an NT 4 domain and I was wondering if we
disjoin an existing mail server from NT4 domain and join it to Active
Directory, will it have any adverse impact on us?

any of the buffer overflow security patches we have put into place after the

Just to give you a comparison, I'm running a Dell PE 6600, 2 Gigs RAM, dual
1.4 GHz processors, 900 users spread over 3 Message Databases and two RAID
arrays. We still get the flag. I get the flag when I'm sitting still too, no
manual activity on the laptop that I'm using.

The flag is set by Outlook and is an indication of slow response by the
Exchange server. The timeout for the flag can be set in the registry, or the
flag can be turned off all together. The only thing I've found so far is
that it's an incentive to performance tune your Exchange server and then
look for other reasons for slow response time. The flag can also pop up when
the workstation is doing some background work, like rendering a graphic and
trying to update free/busy time on the Exchange server at the same time.

It's an indication of performance problems, just not specific as to the
cause.

Subject: Exchange 5.5 Server hammer-age.


Until recently, our Exchange 5.5 Server has been running smoothly. Lately
however, it has been running S..L..O..W on occasions.  Our server is older
(Dell 6300 with Dual 400 MHZ processors and 1.5 GB of memory. 700
users).  The only thing that's changed is we have recently started upgrading
some of our NT 4.0 workstations to Windows XP workstations. Almost all those
users receive the following message the first time they logon

Outlook is retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange Server Exchange.
You can cancel the request or minimize this message to the Windows taskbar
until Outlook closes the message automatically.

Some of them receive the message more frequently.  Maybe the two issues
aren't related, but I thought I'd start here, since it's the only thing
that's changed recently.  Is anybody else having issues using XP
Professional with Exchange 5.5?

Thanks.

Subject: RE: Goofy Exchange / Win2K3 problem


Hi Brett:
Hummm, where to I start

I have never seen this problem.  What is the error message?  Is it a
MAPI error?  I'm betting it is.  I doubt it is really Exchange 2003 related,
but more related to the fact that you have Outlook installed on the Exchange
server.  

Yes, I know, we have all done this, but it is a really bad practice
for a couple of reasons. First of all, both Outlook and Exchange have their
own MAPI DLLs.  I'll bet E2K3 has a much more recent version of the DLLs
than Outlook 2000.  If you happen to get MAPI versions conflicting, it could
be bad for both the Exchange server as well as Outlook.

It is also bad to do this for security reasons.  Same reason it is
not a good practice to give administrators mailboxes.  The more surface area
you give a potential virus/worm/Trojan/etc..., the more it can potentially
exploit.  Having a full featured MAPI client on the server or an
administrator accidentally running this malware could be worse than an
end-user running it.

Finally, (I'm assuming you don't have an RC in production) if you
are evaluating E2K3, you should get the RTM version.  It is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/exchange for download.  Exchange 2003 will run on
Windows 2000, but it is much happier on Windows 2003.
Consider that during your evaluation, too.   If you are short on
hardware for your evaluation, get yourself a copy of VMWare and build a
virtual workstation that you can run your test client from.  Or even a
couple servers, just plan on lotsa RAM.


Hope this helps a little,

- Jim sends

was overkill to begin with now I'm going to have to live with SQL and
Exchange on one box.  I was looking for known software related issues that
might help me with my argument but I couldn't find any.  Thanks for the
help, Scott.




 Move Exchange to this box, move SQL to the old Exchange server?

 Subject: Exchange and SQL
 
 We have an SQL 2000 server with quad processors, 4 gigs of ram, and 3 
 raid configurations with about 200 gb of hd space that's basically 
 being used to run a 2 gb database for about 20 users that will never 
 grow.  My boss thinks we should move our exchange 5.5 server (about 
 120 users) to this box (going to Exchange 2000 in a few months) 
 because it's not being utilized fully.  Other than the if we lose SQL 
 we lose Exchange theory, why else is this a bad idea?  Thanks in 
 advance, Scott.

FW: Where to look to allow email

2003-07-11 Thread Finch Brett
 Ok as I fumble through 2003 from 5.5, it was a relative easy process to
allow my home firewall router to email me in the morning with the log
reports. Now it can't send me the email reports. The part I don't understand
is if this is considered a relay restriction, I simply add the 192.168.0.1
to the relay restrictions of machines allowed to relay, (in the virtual SMTP
server properties) it doesn't appear to resolve this issue. What am I
missing on this?
I can't authenticate against it so that isn't a option.

P.S.  xx.mydomain  substitutes my home domain.

a couple users I would ensure their personal contact list doesn't have

Real world experience

2003-06-06 Thread Finch Brett
 I will spare the gory 'political' details as we are in the midst of trying
to consolidate 35 '5.5' Exchange servers in 35 domains to as little servers
as possible. We're looking at an Exchange 2K3 rollout and probably a hybrid
AD using MS's meta directory (maybe). The real question is I am looking for
real world experience with something similar to what we are going to from a
Exchange 2K shop. Essentially we'll be looking at 5,000 users (.5 GB per
mailbox) to start with another 5,000 in phase 2 and 5,000 more in phase 3.
With a new 2K3 AD, we'll probably consider at least 2 DC's and one dedicated
server for OWA. The main mail servers and storage is really the number
cruncher. It's looking like a 3 server cluster and external storage (AV also
has to be factored). All client stations will be on at least 10 if not 100
switched lines, GB speed on the WAN backbone. I have gone to Dell and other
places to run the traditional load 'configuration wizard' and I have always
preferred to error on the side of you can never have too much power.
 I would like to hear from people using SAN's or the like to account for TB
size storage and backup. How close was the configuration load wizards to
what you really required. Thanks

Exchange 2K3 OWA Change Password

2003-02-26 Thread Finch Brett
 Has anyone played with this feature (using SSL) to change the password. I
have followed the 'Q' article for Exchange2000 to enable (updating the
metabase via admin scripts etc...) but I noticed in Exchange2000 (I use 5.5)
it still was using the dreaded HTR extension. So I looked at the code
quickly and found the 'options.js' was still trying to call a file with a
HTR extension which I know wouldn't work on a IIS 6 box. The code as
follows...

 function openChangePassword()
{
var objLocation =   window.location;
var szServer=   objLocation.host;
var szClose =   g_szUserBase + /?Cmd=close;
var szURL   =   https://; + szServer +
/iisadmpwd/aexp2b.htr?


 So I change the extension to ASP as there is a file named aexp2b.asp in the
'iisadmpwd' folder. I also confirmed anonymous access was enabled and still
nothing, it calls up a page that it says isn't there. Anyone got this
working?

Hello All,

Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT4 servers

Domain B
IIS 5.0 Server with OWA installed and working fine for email


1 Way Trust
Domain B trusts domain A

Should users be able to change their passwords from OWA using the change
password feature. Basically it does not work. I get the proper Internet
Service Manager for IIS 5 page asking for the domain, account, old, new,
and confirm password fields. However my assumption is that since the 2
domains do not trust each other it is not going to work. When attempted I am
getting access is denied.

RE: owa outlook 2002 outlook 2000 sr1

2003-01-12 Thread Finch Brett
 I'm not sure about Outlook2K2 but I would ensure you have authentication
set to prompt in the IE settings, maybe check from IE, 'Tools'- 'Internet
Options' - 'Security' - 'Custom Level', at the bottom is a setting to
ensure it's not anonymous logon (change to always prompt). The Oulook2K2 is
interesting, if that station was ever used in a 'kiosk type' situation, I
wonder if credentials are hard coded in the registry? If it's opening the
same wrong email inbox, it could be that the inbox has some crazy
permissions set to it (deu's often allow 'anonymous'or 'default' to their
inbox). Those two situations combined could explain this.

OK maybe I did not explain myself well enough. It is only this one

never prompted for a username password) and outlook 2002 will not let me log
into the correct mailbox either.  I've set up 3 other workstations all 3 can
log into this particular mailbox.  My problem I am trying to resolve is
getting this problem workstation running XP pro and outlook 2002 and IE 6.x
(whatever) to login into the correct mailbox.

With username and password not being asked for I cannot log into the proper
mailbox. Remember this is a hosted exchange. When I launch outlook 2002 I
can pick the wrong mailbox. But since my credentials seem to have already
been passed onto the exchange server I'm stuck on looking at one global
address list and not the address list I need to long into the problem
mailbox from this workstation. Same problem with IE.  I loaded Netscape On
this workstation and I get into the proper OWA mailbox. Exchange is
fine..the problem is not on the servers it is totally related to this one
work station. In the old days I would blow off the tcpip protocol reboot

to log in using NTLM. I'd also respectfully point out that it doesn't only

 I get a warning message and a Yes/No prompt. If I change the

 simply opens the mail object and I have to click 'Send'

I find it much easier to NOT use MAPI when sending mail with VB.  You can do
it directly using the Winsock control or you can buy a SMTP ActiveX control.
You could also use a program like BLAT in conjunction with the shellexecute

SMTP Banner on 5.5

2002-12-15 Thread Finch Brett
 All the reference and articles I can find talk about changing the banner on
a 2000 Windows/200 Exchange system via AD. In NT4 if you had 2 NIC's,
Exchange 5.5 use the TCP/IP properties of the individual NIC and report back
that FQDN when you did a telnet to that IP. I upgraded the NT4 box to Win2K
and all DNS references are correct but it chooses to use the first NIC's
FQDN even when I telnet into the box on the other IP. Is there a REG hack
for 5.5 to use a specific FQDN in the banner?

Multihome NIC's

 I can't seem to find an article on how to restrict the use of RPC over one
NIC and use the other NIC for only SMTP on a Exchange 5.5 (SPK4) box. I'm
thinking I can answer the first part by using the 'Advanced features' of the
NIC (in W2K) and disable NetBIOS compeltely. But ensuring all SMTP traffic
in and outbound to one is the problem. We're upgrading the server from NT4
to Win2K and I know the Compaq Dual NIC's can use the Intel Dual Port
drivers which allow a little more flexibility in the way they operate. Can
someone send me a 'Q' article if this can be done?

 just as likely that a dept. with predominant females could sue for 
 fifteen million for sexual harassment in the fact the company with the 
 ten million dollar deal didn't take reasonable steps to protect them 
 from this spam. There also seems to be no argument about the value of 
 email in the workplace and that a
 business may find they loose a ten thousand dollar deal but save fifteen
 thousand in the fact their people are actually doing what they were hired
 to
 do (as mentioned in other posts bandwidth costs, storage costs as well).
 As
 for the per client configuration, that works until they start adding their
 contacts to the junk list or they log into a Terminal Server or via
 wireless
 with a PDA. We also don't hire people based on their skills to manage
 their
 email. Finding a moderate RBL with reasonable rules and sending a nice

RE: RBL's

2002-11-05 Thread Finch Brett
 I've watched this thread for a while. I don't buy the argument that a ten
million deal will fail because of a bounced email via RBL. It's just as
likely that a dept. with predominant females could sue for fifteen million
for sexual harassment in the fact the company with the ten million dollar
deal didn't take reasonable steps to protect them from this spam. There also
seems to be no argument about the value of email in the workplace and that a
business may find they loose a ten thousand dollar deal but save fifteen
thousand in the fact their people are actually doing what they were hired to
do (as mentioned in other posts bandwidth costs, storage costs as well). As
for the per client configuration, that works until they start adding their
contacts to the junk list or they log into a Terminal Server or via wireless
with a PDA. We also don't hire people based on their skills to manage their
email. Finding a moderate RBL with reasonable rules and sending a nice
e-mail back to a would be spammer seems to work as well as anything.

Very true..We have hosted exchange for business and we get the sh-t spammed
out of us. But we do not block any email! That may change as our customers
are complaining bitterly. The best solution we would like is a filter on the
client side and not the server side. MacAfee spam kill product looks nice
but I do not know if it can talk to Exchange server. (not POP) I just felt
we started something ugly on this list!!:)  Wanted to clarify why we were

And in general, the business needs of a firm providing free web based
e-mail, vs. the business needs of a Fortune 500 company are a tad different.
So are the usage patterns and a host of other factors. My only comment about
RBLs as it related to your question (not being defensive, just reiterating
for those who might have lost track) was that I hoped Microsoft would not
integrate RBL functionality directly into the Exchange product because I
felt that such solutions were best left to 3rd party vendors... and then
proceeded to mention a couple of reasons why I thought this to be true.

.Net Server and Exchange 5.5

 Well I know SPK3 for Exchange2K was released for compatibility with .Net

RE: .Net Server and Exchange 5.5

2002-10-27 Thread Finch Brett
 Thanks, I guess I should be a bit more clear, I'm not looking for any
change in the 5.5 program or for it to be aware of anything. I just want the
services to start if I choose to upgrade a NT4 box to a .NET box. As in the
upgrade path to Exchange2000 required the NT4 system first upgrade to Win2K,
my thinking is for us holdouts to be attracted to the next Exchange version
beyond Exchange2000, a upgrade path will probably be made available. That
means NT4 - .NET first (hopefully).

Finally fixed Postmaster issues!

2002-08-20 Thread Finch Brett

 Well if anyone remembers, I was trying to alter the default postmaster
reply in a site that belongs to a ORG where we have many SMTP connectors.
The first article shows how you can edit the registry and reboot, but for
the life of me I couldn't understand why it wasn't working. The second
article clears up an issue, which now makes everything work correctly, go
figure. Just thought I'd post this info along to the group as when I first
asked about this, I got a lot of responses about others who couldn't make
this work correctly.


 These are the two articles for making the local postmaster the replying

 Are you running any AV on the Exchange box(s)? I had a similar problem, it

Yes, we have a Unix-based firewall in front of our Exchange Servers. It acts
as a smart host, and re-writes e-mail addresses. I could telnet to its SMTP
port if I wished, but I'm not sure how it would help.

Note that the message was apparently sent, and moved to the Sent Items
folder. However, the firewall's logs showed that it was not received until
three days later. This suggests that the firewall was not the problem. As
well, it took a 'Move Mailbox' operation to release the message. That
suggests - to me - that the Exchange database had a problem somewhere.

This all sounds faintly familiar; I could've sworn I saw a similar problem
in a posting on this list. Naturally, I can't find the blasted thing when I
want it. Even more naturally, I can't remember whether (or how) the problem
was resolved.

 In desperation, I moved my own account to another server (in the same

 A message I'd sent on Monday was held somewhere, and not delivered

but you don't, it comes from the postmaster@. the ORG's first (main)
server.
 If we both run our own SMTP connections, our MX records are correct, then
why
is this and how can I stop it from happening. I thought from the article up

I could fix it but apparently not. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance, probably a simple fix, once I actually find it...

RE: Default Sys Admin on SMTP

2002-03-16 Thread Finch Brett

 Yes I did do the reg hack as it stated, I thought it was an unusual one.
 System Administrator's SMTP Addr (REG_SZ) which I thought was a little 
off, maybe a typo within the article?
I just stopped ALL exchange services and restarted, didn't reboot. I thought
maybe System Administrator's SMTP Address vice what the article states but
I decided to check here first before I start any variation experiments in my
registry :)

And you've done the reg modification? I know this works as I've done it
several times (actually I think I may have written that article, cant'
remember for sure).

Subject: Default Sys Admin on SMTP


 We are a Exchange 5.5 SPK4 ORG, my server is on it's own site and runs
it's
 own SMTP connector, it holds several MX records that all work.  In 
 reference to the following article, I have a problem where I want all 
 the postmaster error messages to be generated from the server I 
 administer.  
 http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q182010
  I also stopped and restarted all services to ensure changes took 
 effect.  The problem is that the default reply to address is coming 
 (and being
sent)
 from
 the postmaster account of the main server in the ORG, not from my 
 server
in
 this
 SITE. If you were to reply to me [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note 
 the missing t), then you should get the Unknown Recipient message 
 from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] but you don't, it comes from the 
 postmaster@. the ORG's first (main) server.
  If we both run our own SMTP connections, our MX records are correct, then
 why
 is this and how can I stop it from happening. I thought from the article

RE: How Organizational Forms Work?

2002-03-16 Thread Finch Brett

Also remember to replicate the folder from it's primary locations and also
depending on how your security is laid out, setting permissions to at least
review if you have cross domain issues.

I haven't had any problem with this.  We have about 80 forms used from our
Org Forms library.  There are about another 20-30 used strictly from public
folders.

Subject: How Organizational Forms Work?


Our environment consists of Exchange 5.5/SP4 servers with OL2000 and we have
approximately 25,000 users.  We currently do not allow forms to be published
to the Organizational Forms Library because of a fear of the impact it will
have on Outlook response time if there are too many forms.  

Is this a legitimate fear?  I can not find any Microsoft Documentation that
states why we shouldn't publish forms to the Organizational Forms Library.
And currently, this policy is stifling Outlook/Exchange development
projects.

Can anyone provide me with some advice on this issue?

Thanks in advance.

OutlookXP and Exchange 5.5

2002-02-27 Thread Finch Brett

 I've tried everything to get rid of that annoying feature
that seems to take a OLXP client offline all the time. I tried
to disable offline use, tried disabling AV email scanning, I am
at a loss how I can get rid of this stupid message from the OLXP
client  Requesting data from MS Exchange Server every time a
user wants to open an attachment or a Public Folder.
 Exchange 5.5 SPK4 on NT4 SPK6a with OutlookXP (SPK1) client.
I've searched here and at MS's knowledge base, what am I missing?
I truly doubt it is a network issue, switched 100MB to the desktop,
and Fast Ethernet channels via switch to the server, load in 
minimal as well. I'm convinced it is the client...
 Any idea's anyone?

Don't discard the network idea without checking it thoroughly - I run OXP on
WinXP, connect to an Exch. 5.5 SP4 server, and get that message from time to
time only when I connect from home via ADSL and VPN. I've seen it
momentarily a few times at the office getting data from another server on
the far side of the WAN, usually those times can be fairly easily correlated
to times of network congestion.
