Re: winmail.dat
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q138053sd=tech I have an app called fentun.exe that I use to get the attachment out of the winmail.dat file when it comes from external. Works pretty slick, but in your case you don't want to have to send that to everyone. -Mike Carlson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.uselessthoughts.com - Original Message - From: Miller, Robert [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 9:16 AM Subject: winmail.dat All, We are in the process of moving from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 (SP3, May Post SP3 rollup). We have 3 Regional Hubs to which all outbound SMTP traffic is routed through from downstream offices. My Team is getting numerous complaints of external clients receiving the winmail.dat files instead of the original attachments (hotmail, aol, etc...). This only happens to our senders that are from a downstream office. If we send from one of the Hub locations it works perfect every time. I think then we have narrowed it down to the X400 connector, as that is the only difference between sending from a downstream office and a Hub. We have the settings on Exchange 2000 connectors the same as they were with the 5.5 X400 connectors. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: New Entourage
[1] I hate grammar Nazi's. This is email, not English class. G37 0V3R 17!! [2] I did RTFM. I guess I just didn't get to the part about Public Folders not showing up correctly. I figured since I was browsing through the recent posts, I would just ask a simple question and see what others results were before I went home to try and figure it out. I installed it last night, set up the account and looked at the public folders. About 10 minutes of time spent so far. As far as you being too important, I wasn't referring to the free/busy server issue, I was referring to this: [3] And I don't really care all that much because I'm playing with cooler Exchange tools for both the PC and Mac at the moment than Entourage, which at the moment is working 'good enough' for my needs. If you don't really care, why even reply? [3] If everyone RTFM from front to back before they even installed the app, these lists would be little more than haiku Fridays.

RE: Solicitation
So... Since no one seems to want to share this super secret information on turning off anonymous LDAP, am I to assume that it is something as simple like disabling the guest account? BTW: when I try ldap://server I get an error returned saying that An error occurred while performing the search. You computer, your ISP, or the specified directory service may be disconnected.

It doesnt happen very often and I notice it usually only happens with a reply or when I paste text into the message window. But it does only happen with OWA. I have never had the problem with Outlook. I had one message that was just completely pooched. It looked like it was encrypted. That only happened once and it was on a Notes list.

If someone on the outside of your company is sophisticated enough to be able to handle supplemental DTMF addressing to cause an inbound fax arriving at your Exchange Server to be properly routed, then that person will have access to a digital route, which basically means that inbound automatic routing can work, but no one is ever going to use it. You can buy the technology, but that does not make it worthwhile. Inbound will have to be manually forwarded. Fax really is an obsolete technology that is probably less useful than an Underwood. -Original Message- From: Dupler, Craig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 10:37 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Fax I agree with both EG's (Exchange goddesses) Can Exchange act as a fax server? Not exactly. Fax's can be transported by SMTP as a registered MIME type. This of course makes the server blind to the content, and means that it can be a client issue. However, Exchange Server can also have a FAX service or connector installed. This enables the server itself to drive a modem or high grade telephony board to either directly send or receive faxes. Outbound, MAPI clients (i.e. Outlook) or OWA clients can send to a fax recipient using ad hoc addressing, once the FAX address type has been created by adding such a service. Of course, permanent fax addressees can be stored in the AD/GAL or the PAB/CL. Inbound, is a little trickier. If the inbound fax has some DTMF supplemental addressing that maps (insert magic box here) to an AD/GAL addressee, then the MTA can deliver it. Alternately, they can be routed to a specific printer, or a specific secretarial addressee for manual forwarding. Several vendors make one of these combination fax connector and magic box servers for Exchange. Microsoft Fax is a client tool. It is not Exchange Server aware. It's been awhile since I looked at it, but if it can save a document as a fax file, then presumably this could be attached to a mail message and the proper MIME type would get applied. But as the EG's said, this would be lame beyond belief or any human comprehension. Usually people are interested in transmitting digital data and getting non-digital data into some sort of intelligible format. To take a perfectly good digital document, then store it as a useless piece of raster junk, and then send it as an SMTP attachment to someone that has some sort of a junky raster-only printer, well, that would be sad. So it is hard to imagine a scenario in which someone would want to spend money integrating MS Fax to an e-mail service. The right way to leverage MS Fax is in a scenario in which you have a requirement for a small number of users to send or receive Faxes, but can't cost justify the incremental cost of something like OmTool for Exchange over the cost of some personal modems. Some organizations are going to be in a bind with this. Most good enterprise security policies prohibit using a personal modem to link to an external connection while at the same time being connected to the enterprise network. Obviously, something like OmTool solves this problem, but that does not make the cost story any prettier. -Original Message- From: Mike Carlson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 3:58 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Fax Can Exchange act as a Fax Server?

Not exactly. Fax's can be transported by SMTP as a registered MIME type. This of course makes the server blind to the content, and means that it can be a client issue. However, Exchange Server can also have a FAX service or connector installed. This enables the server itself to drive a modem or high grade telephony board to either directly send or receive faxes. Outbound, MAPI clients (i.e. Outlook) or OWA clients can send to a fax recipient using ad hoc addressing, once the FAX address type has been created by adding such a service. Of course, permanent fax addressees can be stored in the AD/GAL or the PAB/CL. Inbound, is a little trickier. If the inbound fax has some DTMF supplemental addressing that maps (insert magic box here) to an AD/GAL addressee, then the MTA can deliver it. Alternately, they can be routed to a specific printer, or a specific secretarial addressee for manual forwarding. Several vendors make one of these combination fax connector and magic box servers for Exchange. Microsoft Fax is a client tool. It is not Exchange Server aware. It's been awhile since I looked at it, but if it can save a document as a fax file, then presumably this could be attached to a mail message and the proper MIME type would get applied. But as the EG's said, this would be lame beyond belief or any human comprehension. Usually people are interested in transmitting digital data and getting non-digital data into some sort of intelligible format.

So the Exchange directory could be populated by the Notes server?

I was reading about the Email package Oracle offers and it really doesnt look like much more than a standard POP3/IMAP server that has a new feature called web calendaring.

A couple of observations: Exchange and Notes are about something quite different than Oracle and other similar messaging engines. What Ellison calls e-mail, is not the same thing. The reasons that the mostly Unix based systems did not get the market that went the LAN server based systems was the cost of entry for small installations, and the lack of critical features such as integration with the Windows desktop and a good group calendaring solution. That much being said, Exchange and Notes are now incumbents. If they fail to do the better job of supporting emerging requirements from other platforms, then Exchange and Notes could also go away or become marginalized. Right now, Exchange does not do the web as well as it should, and some parts of Microsoft still labor under the totally lame notion that the new small devices are only companions to big PC's. Unix folks back in the 80's used to look down their noses at the lowly PC and could not bring themselves to stoop to be good service providers to them.

If you have been working with Microsoft's software for any amount of time over a week you should know that their software is open until closed, where as most other applications and operating systems are closed until open. You do NOT have any type of access to a *nix box unless given permission to. Same with Novell. Micrsoft on the other hand gives you full blown rights to just about everything out of the box.

The estimates I hear state that viruses and worms due to poor design on Microsoft's part cost billions of dollars per year. Don't you think billions of dollars is a bit much? So you did hear about the customers that complained about MS security. I thought you were unaware of anyone that complained about MS software being vulnerable. Hmmm.. No I don't think that is a lot of money considering how large of a penetration Outlook has in the Corp. world.

RE: It's not Microsoft's fault because....
I think it has quite a lot to do with ease of use. The mindset may be that products that are easier to use will sell more copies. If you have to go into an application and set a couple hundred options just to allow/disallow things, then people may not want to use the product. Being easy to use right out of the box is a huge selling point for MS. I dont think it is a matter of demanding insecure features, I think it is more of demanding to do whatever they want to configure the application to suit their needs, which then opens up security risks. They need to keep it open enough so that when someone creates a custom form in Outlook, they dont have to programatically check various registry keys and settings to see if the necessary settings are available and if they are not, enable them. For a developer having to write 600 lines of code to make sure everything is set right before launching the form would be an enormous amount of work compared to editing a key to allow .exe files to show up. Granted that may be the more secure way of doing things, but then people may not want to develop for that platform. Microsoft made a lot of money off Windows and Office being extremely easy to develop for and use. With that there is security risks. If they started to make it difficult and a lot of work for developers, they would loose a portion of the bread and butter. There would be a lot less MS/Windows/Office developers out there. Which I guess isnt a BAD thing. :-) Mike -Original Message- From: Benjamin Scott Sent: Mon 11/12/2001 12:00 PM To: Exchange Discussions Cc: Subject: RE: It's not Microsoft's fault because On Mon, 12 Nov 2001, Chris Scharff wrote: Why should *I* have to clean up after *Microsoft's* mistakes?

Other customers have demanded products designed with security in mind. Microsoft blames the problem on customers not installing fixes. Am I the only one who sees the inconsistency with this? Why does Microsoft only listen to the demands of customers who want insecurity? Why don't the demands of people who want more secure products count? My issue is not with installing updates or correcting insecure defaults. I am perfectly capable of doing so, thank you very much. My issue is that the problem does not appear to be caused simple programming errors, but through a continued disregard for security on the part of Microsoft. That makes my job harder than it needs to be, and that is not something I like.

I wouldnt say it is a flaw. It can be a bad thing, but not a flaw.

Move Exchange 2k to a different box
I was reading the ECMSM and it talks about, if the current exchange box is also a AD server, the steps in making the new box a AD server. If Exchange is running on a DC do I NEED to make the new box a DC? The box I am moving it to is not a DC it is just a 2k server (with SQL) and a member of the domain, but it is not a DC. I want to get exchange off the DC and move it to a regular 2k box.

RE: Seriously been tasked with this
Actually I have heard of something like this before. I don't think this is all that unusual. I know the Mdaemon (http://www.mdaemon.com) has the ability to delete messages after so many days. Mdaemon is a ver full featured mail server, but it just doesn't have all the collaboration that exchange does. I used Mdaemon for years before moving to Exchange. Mike -Original Message- From: Cook, David A. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 7:47 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Seriously been tasked with this Happy Friday to all. I should have saved this for a Monday morning as I'm sure it's going to bring many laughs and many people saying that this is absolutely crazy. I've been tasked with this though and I thus have to come up with a solution and pricing for the solution. I doubt it is anything that will seriously be implemented but here is the job at hand. I'm running Exchange 2000 with all incoming mail coming in through a Mail Marshal mail gateway. We had a situation a few months ago in which we had major AD replication issues that cause DCs/GCs to respond very slowly and in some cases not respond as DCs/GCs at all. This caused Exchange to be unusable and for all practical purposes we were in a network down situation for 3 days with Microsoft in house working the issue with us. As we all know if AD is down then Exchange is down also. The task is to make sending, receiving and access to recent emails available in the event of another network down situation. Obviously if the physical network is down this is impossible but if Exchange goes down then they want email to be available in some way. Since E2K relies on AD I figure this secondary access can not include E2K. My thought, and I don't think the money could be justified, is that I have some type of a POP server that no one ever logs into. I would have a mailbox for each user on that POP server and every message coming in from the internet would be forward from the gateway to Exchange like it currently is and a copy also sent to the POP server. The POP server would then need the functionality to automatically delete any emails over a certain age. In the event of Exchange being down we could notify everyone to open Outlook Express which we would have preconfigured through policy to point to the POP server and the users would be functional with respect to email. I'm prepared for some interesting responses to this crazy idea.

I can guarantee my NT/2k boxes are much more secure that my Linux boxes. The reason is my level of experience. I have not spent enough time diving into Linux. I am a Linux hobbyist.

Subject: RE: Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe From: Mike Carlson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2001 17:45:21 -0600 No reason to blame MS for stupid people that open every clickmetof*ckupyourcomputer.exe they get in an email. When are people going to take responsibility for stupid stuff they do and their own incompetence. Hello? Mike are you there? (Apologizes for the sarcasm...but...) For the last time (I HOPE), it's not about clicking on .exe files!! It never has been about click on .exe files!! It's always been about scripting files that execute simply by having a preview pane open or masquerading as a benign graphics file or a seemingly innocent MS Word document or MS Excel spreadsheet or... just about anything else Microsoft has had their hands in. Why is this so difficult to understand? Because vbs files and what not are only but a part of the problem. People don't get screwed only by vbs files or other scripts. FunLove was an executable. That ripped through networks and is still around. We still battle that one. The security update was not implemented to stop only vbs files and other scripts. It was developed to prevent all types of viruses and worms. The vbs ones just got the most attention recently. Sure, you may want to add that is what anti-virus software is for... but I say MS should just listen to their customers and figg'n remove the potentially damaging 'features' of their scripting language. They have listened. Thats why we have the patch. I would think that it would be hard to remove the damaging features of the scripting language when that is what runs Outlook. The forms are built from the very same scripting language. As a VBScript/Outlook/ASP developer I would find it very difficult to do my job if Outlook could not interpret the script that I have in my forms. Sure, you may want to add that all a user must do is disable the vb scripting components of their OS? Really now, so AGAIN, instead of fixing the problem, let's just remove it entirely? What about the many situations where basic scripting is required? Why isn't Sun's JAVA dangerous? It can be. I have seen Java stuff that could do serious damage with the click of the mouse. A in-house Java developer demonstrated that. Click.GrindDead Computer. If someone wanted to they could do just as much damage with a Java app than you can with VBScript. Since Java is such a low level language you don't find the 10th grade script kiddies creating Java apps that do damage. Those same kids can go out and search on the web for 15 minutes and put together a VBScript that will do damage since the only tool you really need is notepad. Oh, what's the other common excuse I read That MS products are so much more popular (ubiquitous?), that is why there are so many vulnerabilities? What utter nonsense! Microsoft products have so many vulnerabilities because their products have so many more vulnerabilities than other products! Have you forgotten that there are most Apache servers than IIS installations and more Novell Servers than Microsoft Servers. Why are these facts so difficult to understand? The excuse is not that they have more vulnerabilities because they are popular, it because they are popular that they are targets. Since there are more uninformed, untrained and irresponsible people using Windows, viruses and worms spread faster on Windows. I have said it many, many times. If linux was as popular as Windows, you would see about the same amount of Linux viruses. There are some linux viruses out there, but the penetration isnt that great because it isnt that common place. The Apache argument is becoming less and less valid. If you do more research on the Apache/IIS debate you will see that even NetCraft is modifying their stats to reflect that Linux installations can have thousands upon thousands of TLDs on a single server where as IIS averages around a few hundred. One ISP I used had 3,000 websites on one linux box. Do I hate Microsoft like some of you have erroneously assumed? Of course not! For the most part Microsoft was very successful in making computers available to the masses and making them easy to use. In addition, from my point of view, Microsoft provides some of the best/friendliest support in the business. Comparatively speaking, Novell could learn much from Microsoft; those %^#!@$% are clueless when
RE: backup
It does sound new to me, but I found very little in the FAQ about back up except what to use. I find the FAQ not very useful. Things like Open File Agent = BAD without an explanation is useless.

RE: Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe
is that no other email program such as Eudora, Groupwise, Netscape block these attachments. All Microsoft had to do was to either disable the dangerous capabilities of .asp,.vbs, (et al) code OR entirely block access to this code. IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!! Geezz, what's with some of you in this (supposed to be?) friendly discussions group? I sent a message asking about this (yes, I admit it was confrontational) and I read return responses basically calling me an idiot based on inane assumptions! Of course, I had to risk installing this patch because the risk of an Outlook-based virus outbreak out weighted the potential annoyance of breaking Outlook. BTW, I have never experienced a virus outbreak in the 6 years I've been with this company because of my pro-active stance on these issues. Message to Lori: Project Plan and Test Plan Results???

RE: Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe
Exactly why MS has to create patches like this particular one. Morons. What would be cool is if you could put a lock on their mail box so that when they open up Outlook there is an administrative message staring them in the face. Before they could open any email they would have to click OK and then retype what the administrative message was in a box exactly as it was. If they don't get it right, they are prompted again. If a new virus goes around the admin could put a lock on all mailboxes until they perform those steps. Kind like yelling at your kids. You tell them something and then you make them repeat it back to you so that you realize they heard what you said. -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 5:49 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe Users will open anything regardless of what you say.

My wife is a prime example. She will be the first to admint she doesn't know anything about computers ecept for the applications that she uses all the time. If I am logged into my computer and she needs it, she logs into her own account because I have setup her account so that she cant do any damage to the computer. Don't blame MS.

Here is the problem that we are proposing to solve: Many companies want to utilize email as a quick and low cost way to keep their customers and prospects informed. But most companies do not have all the email addresses of their prospective or existing contacts. The emails they do have are usually stored in a disorganized fashion that will not allow the proper analysis, improvement and addition of Emails. This is where our service and technology comes in: If given the company name, city, state, first and last name of the contact, then we can generate about 95% of the missing emails. The process to obtain these emails is a proprietary process that utilizes our specialized software and techniques. The result is a list of emails (corresponding to the names given) that you can feed back into your sales management system or database. Using this process we can take on large jobs, like determining the emails of 20,000 people at 10,000 companies, and generate the emails quickly. The techniques and the software developed to do this does not require calling the customer and asking what the email address is. Calling to obtain email address doesn't work. If calling were necessary it would take a long time, be very expensive and results in only a small percentage of emails because most companies won't give them out. The Pain: The problem for a Sales VP or marketing manager is that they might want to leverage the email addresses of thousands of existing and prospective customers but they don't have them. They have the company information and they have the contact names that they have developed over the years but they don't have the email addresses. This limits the type of marketing they can do and the speed with which they can react in the marketplace. If the company determines that having the emails is critical to their success then the question becomes...how do they get them? For any MIS manager or VP of Sales, getting emails, is a difficult and time-consuming process. It is difficult to obtain emails for two reasons. One, most customers and receptionist will not give out their emails if asked and two, the sales staff is usually not very good at obtaining and updating this type of information. Unlike a fax number, an email address is considered personal and usually is difficult to get. Regarding emails, there are two types of email problems that customers usually have that we can solve: 1. If the company has customers or prospects with multiple contacts but they only have some of the emails then we have a technique for determining the emails for the rest of the people at that company. 2. For prospective customers they may not have any emails in which case we would need to start from scratch and determine the emails for all the individuals. Products and Services we offer: 1.) Generating valid emails for existing contacts. 2.) Validating emails that already exist. 3.) Providing software that can keep the existing sales database updated with emails, web sites and faxes. 4.) 5.) We can provide the consulting to help companies set up automated email marketing. 6.) We can also provide fax numbers and automated fax marketing assistance. 7.) Consulting so that they can enhance their existing Sales Force Software to include intelligent email information. Improving the quality of your Sales data We offer a service to improve the quality of sales data so your company can be more competitive by being able to do rapid marketing at a reduced cost. Staying Competitive Having all the information, like the emails, will be seen
RE: Error When Expanding Public Folders in System Manager
I am using my username and pass to log onto the machine and I have an account on the exchange server. I dont have to myself in any Exchange Admin group or anything do I, even tho I think I did. Also, what would cause that error in OWA when I view my folders? I cant find that number anywhere in the MS KB.
