Re: NETIQ vs. MOM
Thanks for the info, guys. I'm using it to convince my IT director to go with NETIQ. This will hopefully help. Jonathan, I have deployed both products, and personally like NetIQ a heck of a lot better. Essentially both products can perform the same levels of monitoring and reporting, however MOM requires a LOT more legwork to get the same result. The NetIQ interface as you said is more logical and easier to navigate, and it seems a lot more thought has been given to providing a clean interface for administrators. Setting up alerts etc for MOM for say a single server is MUCH more tedious than for NetIQ. MOM's grouping of monitoring into a hierarchal structure based on attributes creates more confusion IMHO. We have required some scripting to create custom attributes on servers just to enable some groups to be created (by pulling back these custom attributes), not necessary on NetIQ as it allow arbitrary grouping of servers (MOM does allow this as well, but its not as intuitive). With NetIQ a simple drag/drop of a task or monitoring job onto the device in question is much easier and allows more targeted monitoring to occur. Currently with MOM if I really want to perform specific monitoring of a server, I jump into perfmon and set up custom monitoring, rather than try and make MOM do it. Arbitrary grouping / monitoring of different core servers in a different way is where MOM really falls down IMHO. With NetIQ, I can simply change the monitored jobs on each specific server, changing thresholds for each one, and even disabling some jobs if I feel like. Attempting to do this with MOM is an exercise in frustration, since most settings are based on the monitoring groups which are attached to a group of servers based on a specific attribute (registry setting, name etc), not the server itself. For example, we have 6 exchange servers. If I want to monitor the gateway server differently, or set different thresholds (eg I'm not concerned if the outgoing SMTP queue length on the gateway gets about 50, but on a mailbox server I am), this is MUCH more difficult on MOM than it should be. Currently, I set the threshold lower for all exchange servers, and simply ignore the ones from the gateway where they are under *my* determined threshold. Not pretty, and makes it more difficult for me to set up paging / sms interfaces for our after-hours support team, as they get a lot of unnecessary alerts. The scripting interface for both products is pretty-much on par. I am quite disappointed with the requirement to add-on packs for MOM to effectively monitor NT v4.0 servers, as this should be a core feature of the system (yes, I do realise MS want me to upgrade to 2k, 2003, but it isn't going to happen soon). Add-on packs for both products are neither here nor there, as you require packs for application-specific monitoring of most applications (like Exchange, SQL), however NetIQ currently has wider choice for non-Microsoft applications (IBM, Oracle etc), and wider OS support. The NetIQ reporting / graphing is miles ahead of MOM, however with MOM you always can use Excel to provide customised reporting and graphing. In MOM's defence it is essentially a v1 product (even though it is based on other well-known product *grin*), so I am expecting big things from MOM 2004. MOM SP1 is addressing a number of my gripes above, so after I apply it I'll see how much things have improved.

Re: The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service terminated with service-specific error 1276.
Although I haven't used that anti-virus software, standard procedure if you're having problems with getting the store up, uninstall the anti-virus software. Then work on getting the store up. Once you get the store running, you can put the anti-virus back up. It's easier to troubleshoot the core problem without external things affecting it. Hi All I have been having difficulty in getting the IS up and running. The Exchange server was down due to lack of space. We have backed up the priv and pub. Then I transfered them to the newly setup server. Unfortunately, it doesn't startup properly. hence, I start running isinteg and eseutil to patch up everything. After repairing, it seems to be ok when i run isinteg -patch. Then I restarted the Exch IS service but it prompts me the above error. I have checked the web and it suggested there should be something to do with anti-virus software. FYI, i'm using Norton Exch v2 for my prevoius Exchange 5.5 server SP3. Can anyone provide me with info how to fix this problem. I checked the MS site unfortuntealy it is down... i think so... not able to access.

1018 errors - oh the fun
so we're getting 1018 errors Here's the details: single-server single site (ASP stuff with multiple address book views) nt4.0 sp6a exchange 5.5 with sp4 and post fixes - Antigen 7.0 as the virus scanner, but previously version 6.5. We run nightly full backups. We have been receiving 1018 errors only on weekends - this seems strange to me, since I would think that we would receive them nightly. We performed an eseutil /p as well as an isinteg /alltests to clear the errors - Result: still getting errors. I realize that 1018's point towards hardware, but we're just not seeing any hardware problems. We're swapping out the RAID card just to see if that helps, but the 1018's still need to be fixed. I spoke to Msft and they said that they don't recommend running a database in production after a /p is performed, but that the /p is used to prepare the server to be exmerged and then fixed. Running an Exmerge to fix the server is a total nightmare, in my mind, losing all of the appointment stuff and various other settings that I don't want to lose. Aside from an Exmerge, does anyone have any suggestions? And does anyone know why msft doesn't recommend running a /p'd database in production? Oh, and I forgot: if there's not a hardware error (which so far there is not) even though msft says that 1018's are rarely generated if there are no hardware issues, has anyone experienced 1018's without hardware errors present? Any suggestions, smart-ass or otherwise would be helpful - and entertaining.

RE: display names during conversion
Good point, Ed. You're absolutely correct. During the ADMT process, the display name is getting placed in there. The ADC appears to be working fine. Before we run the ADMT, the disabled user accounts in AD are showing the display name from 5.5. Now that that's established, how do I alter that from happening? Thanks for the help. No way. First, moving the mailbox doesn't affect the display name. That would be established when you ran the connection agreement. Second, ADC doesn't talk to the NT SAM. My guess is that the display name got populated the way you see it from when you ran the ADMT, and your connection agreement hasn't written over it.

IMS routing question:
Currently, were running Exchange 5.5 SP4 with hotfixes on an NT4.0 SP6A servers. We have 2 mailbox servers with one IMS/Bridgehead server. One of the mailbox servers also has an IMC with a cost of 99 as a just in case scenario. Currently, our Internet mail comes through the UNIX firewall which performs a relay function using post.office. The firewall is going to be changed and will not perform this relay function any longer. Currently, our ISP performs queuing for us for up to 4 days worth of mail should our site be unavailable. My question is this: Since we will not longer have this relaying function from the UNIX firewalls, the mail will go directly via port 25 to the Exchange IMS/bridgehead server. The UNIX administrator insists that it is a good idea to put a UNIX Sendmail server in between the firewall and the Exchange server for queuing purposes, however, I dont see the need for it. Can someone please explain to me if this UNIX server is necessary? To me it seems like an extra hop for no reason.

RE: SMTP Connector for Internet Mail
If you have the Exchange 2000 server joined to the 5.5 site, if you don't configure the SMTP virtual server, it will continue to use the 5.5 IMC. If you configure the virtual server in 2000, and change the costs, you shouldn't have to remove the 5.5 IMS at all. I would think that the 5.5's GWART would get modified and route accordingly. Of course, the relay idea mentioned earlier would definitely work, I'm just trying to think within the realms of 2000.

Exchange on Shark SAN solution
My company has recently purchased a shark SAN that they are putting the company's various UNIX and windows applications on. They are pushing to put Exchange on it, however, I am somewhat skeptical due to some testing with another SAN (Xiotech) that was unimpressive from a performance standpoint. My questions are 2 fold: For those of you running on SANs that are shared with other applications, was there a specific way to dedicate a certain number of drives to Exchange so that it doesn't have to share them with other applications to ensure best performance? All opinions would be much appreciated since the SAN world is new to me and it seems like there are many different ways to configure them. The second part of my question is if anyone here is running Exchange 2000 on a SHARK and what they're experience has been.

Email review
Being a Securities company, by SEC law, we have to archive and review all internet mail to a non-re-writeable media (it falls under the client correspondance part of the requirement). Our system that we currently use is out of date. We also want to get pst's off of the network into a better form of storage. I group these 2 products together because many of the vendors do the same.

Unbalanced '' In addition, if there were any other CC'd users in this, they will receive the message multiple times as well.

Our current configuration is Exchange 5.5 sp4 with post sp4 hotfixes, Antigen version 6.20.0842 A Gauntlet Firewall (which I don't administer so I don't have much info about it) Our IMC uses straight IP to point to the firewall, instead of using DNS. We have tried the DNS setting, and this fixed the situation, however, due to internal DNS situations, we can't keep this configuration.
