User passwords...
If I have users who use our systems strictly for Outlook Web Mail, or POP mail, how can I force them to change their passwords every sixty days, and have them notified that they should do so? Is there any way to send out an email to them, leting them know their password will expire? Obviously these users do not log onto the network directly, and would not see the 2000/NT msg requiring them to do so in X days.

blackberry
Any reason why a user who has a blackberry would get this event message on the server: Event 11302 An error (0x80070057) occurred while rendering a message for download on mailbox /O=ACTV INC/OU=ACTV MAIL/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=CROWLEYB.

Have you ever heard of a full system crash? Although I admit it is much less likely than any other type of failure it is still possible to lose the entire server, isn't it? And if it is, the logs you are so fond of referring to will be about as useful as your sarcasm. If you ever have the misfortune to work for lawyers you will find that there are certain things you do and deal with and a full system daily backup which is as up-to-date as possible is an absolute requirement. That is the reason that I am asking and why I feel my use of differentials is warranted. If I am not mistaken, a tape of any sort is only going to be as useful as the last information written to it if that is the only source of data, is it not? Therefore, a full server crash in the late afternoon with only last night's full backup leaves you SOL for almost a full day's work. However, if I am incorrect in my assumption that a tape which contains a full backup along with differential backups will allow me to rebuild my server completely and restore it to the point of the last differential then I would honestly be interested in hearing why. Furthermore, if there is a way to restore and roll the logs should the server that the logs were on be completely dead using just a full backup from the night before than I retract all sarcasm on my part and look forward to hearing how that process would work. -Original Message- From: Kevin Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 12:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Win2k backup and Exchange READ IT.
