Re: Exchange 2000 invalid characters

A + has no business in an SMTP address.  Exchange 200x should not even let
you create that.

Subject: Exchange 2000 invalid characters


 Group,

   we are about to migrate to Exchange 2000 using the move mailbox method.
 I'm a little confused on the invalid characters situation. Everything that
 I've researched says that it is just at the organization and site name. We
 have a consultant that says it is everywhere, account names, mailboxes,
 dl's. We did have an  at our organization level and my boss is worried
 about the + sign in our dl's. I have not been able to find anything on the
 web that mentions anything other than organization and site name.

 Any help would be appreciated.

 thanks
 Josh Douglas

You can have the alias a different name.

But I was able to rename a distribution group with a + sign and can email it
internally.

So, it is possible.  Just not proper form.

RE: Exchange 2000 default signature for all email mailboxes

2003-06-28 Thread William Lefkovics
 
You would use an SMTP Transport Event Sink

Here are a couple of articles to point you to:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317680
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;317327

Head to MSDN and check out the SMTP transport event sink stuff and go to the
Exchange section and get the last SDK.
http://snurl.com/1o88
The next SDK is due out any day now, and it may have a better example for
you to follow, but still the March one is pretty good.

The third party applications are not overly priced.
www.exclaimer.com
www.disclaimit.com
Www.gfi.com

That last one has a trial version of their full product, after which, I
believe, the disclaimer component is free and continues to function.  Almost
like a reward for giving them a try.

Or finally, deploy a corporate signature for everyone to use in Outlook.  


William

I tested it using abuse.net's relay test. It looks like your good for

who's trying to mine for address in your company. From what I
understand, there's a new program going around the spammer world, that
bruteforce guesses e-mail address and collects the NDR's from that
domain to determine what's legit and what isn't. My advise would be for
you to trace back the IP address he's using and put it in your host.deny

 You have the benefit of quick recovery in event of hardware failure on the
server (not likely typically). But, it is really nice for maintenance where
you have to apply patches, security updates, virus engine updates, service
packs, etc... You can failover in a matter of seconds and you have as much
time as you need to work on the server without interrupting users or
bouncing email.

 On an active/active cluster we host 16,000 users, 2500 using Outlook and
the rest using OWA 2000. We can have both virtual machines running on one
quad-Xeon 700Mhz without users noticing much of a slowdown at all. Exchange
2003 with Windows 2003 runs more efficiently so far in our tests. However,
Microsoft is now recommending ACTIVE / PASSIVE so you have a fresh server to
failover to.

 You already have a key component - SAN - so I would cluster in a
heartbeat. We haven't had any issues - except for a corrupted db which we
attributed to the SAN.

 2003 promisses to make clustering better, but we haven't tested that yet.

OK, I'll try it another way - the presentation that I heard at Tech-Ed,

A) 4 x 4-way servers, active, plus
B) 1 x 4-way server, passive, plus
C) 2 x 2-way servers, passive, for backups, etc.

Equals 7.

I never claimed 8. I'm perfectly capable of basic math.  8, to my

 My exchange 5.5 server went down with a full 16 GB priv.edb today.  I
 started a defrag at noon EST and it went to 100% complete at around 5:30
PM
 but it still says 100% and the disk drive is still very active and the
 prompt hasn't returned.  Is this normal.  About how long should a 16 GB
 defrag take on a P3 1Ghz server.

 Is it normal to stay at 100% so long or should I kill the process.

 Thanks for any quick responses cuz I'm stuck sitting here not sure if the
 process is hung.

Re: 5.5 on a WIN2000 Server

Of course it's possible.  Build the server and do a restore to it.  But do
you want to work that hard?

Why the same name?  Let's look at that.

Consider using a different name, but join the same site, org.  Then move the
mailboxes at your leisure... perhaps via terminal services session from the
edge of your pool at home

RE: Brick level backups

2003-06-18 Thread William Lefkovics
I probably should reread this, but this was my answer to this question
A year ago - plus an added point.

Why not to do Brick Level Backups:

1) They take a lng time. At my last position, the priv.edb on 
several Exchange servers was huge with several mailboxes exceeding 
2GB. Backup windows of 'July' is not acceptible nor necessary.

2) Brick Level break SIS in the process. At a previous employer we 
had an SIS ratio of 4 (lots of little daily cash spreadsheets and the 
like getting sent to DL's). This means that a BLB backup uses as much
as 4 times the total tape. Now I need an autoloader to take care of 
the boxes of tapes required each night.

3) You can't perform a full server restore to point of failure with 
brick level backups. You have to actually perform additional full 
online backups as well to allow for full disaster recovery. More 
tapes. More time. More money.

4) A restore of several mailboxes from BLB's will cause the store to 
grow because of no SIS. If my SIS ratio is 2 and some disaster leaves
me with only brick-level, my restore will double the size of the priv.

5) The redundant backups for brick level lower the overall performance
of your exchange server as backups compete with users for CPU cycles 
and disk reads. It is also additional and unnecessary wear and tear 
on tape drives.

6) Brick Level Backups do not backup items in deleted item retention. 
As my users (for email anyway) have always been of the educated 
variety, they know and use deleted item recovery as needed.

7) A restore of a mailbox is seldom needed. (Probably the only 
instance is inadvertant deletion by an administrator in Exchange5.5) 
With deleted item retention set to a reasonable 30 days or so, and 
with deleted mailboxes retained in Exchange2000, brick level backups 
fall in the category of a waste of time and resources.

8) Backups should not be a helpdesk support option. They are a 
disaster recovery requirement. With all that tape and time, the 
convenience of having someone restore my mailbox is so simple I can be 
more careless with my email. I can always get my info restored.  The
Potential for user complacency because we can always restore uses 
Valuable IT time and resources.

9) Yes, it's true. For me, I have only done this using ArcServeIT. 
Because of comments here in this and other forums, CA took the 
Exchange agent back to the lab and did some more fixing on it. For me
it was too little too late. Basically, BLB's are not perfect. Data 
is not perfectly recreated through the restore process. Problems 
included header info missing, digitally signed emails corrupt, 
attachments missing.

10) Many, many more reputable and experienced people have shared their
horror stories over and over in this and other forums and newsgroups. 
So much so that I was relieved to learn in 1998 that it wasn't just me
that felt this way. The people that have expressed this opinion I 
hold in high regard and certainly owe it to myself to try to 
understand why the concensus is for or against something.

11) Microsoft provides the utility ExMerge which can be used to backup
a single mailbox to .pst if necessary. I use this as the last step 
before deleting a users mailbox after (s)he have left the company. It
is a simplified, granular alternative for certain circumstances.

12) Exchange2003 allows for a disaster recovery storage group to allow
Production restores without a recovery server.

The above may not all apply to you.

Would you like to see the list against the use of 'confidentiality
disclaimers'?

Thanks for the response, Stu.  

I'd like to add something.  There are some other staff at my company who
got the same message I refer to below (mentioning the IHS product, and
requesting them to stop by at the MecEd conference).  These people did
*not* attend MecEd and should *not* have been on a list of people who
were registered to do so.  Yet they got this spam.  Why is that?

As to the response from David Cragg:  If it smells like a duck then it
is a duck.  

How would any right minded email administrator be expected to react to a
message with a throwaway address as a reply-to?  This tactic of using
several domains in the headers, from/reply-to addresses, etc. is the
exact same tactic that a chickenboner spammer uses.  Why use them?  

Stu, your company's credibility as a whitehat supplier of anti-spam
products is seriously on the line.  From a spam recipient's or victim's
perspective, what is the difference between your product and the way in
which the ad was delivered vs. any of the chickenboners who are also
spamming for an antispam solution?

 Hi Guys,
 
 We admit that this looked like spam a lot. I actually
 called the people who sent it for us and complained.
 The company who own this database and emailed it for
 us are MSD2D, they have worked for years for Microsoft
 building their trade show list and catalogs. That's why
 you are on their list.
 
 Here is included the answer from their Pres, who explained why it 
 looks like this.
 
 -
 In response to your email today I admit that it has the
 appearance of Spam. We apologize for that. We usually send 
 these type of announcements with our reply address but it 
 was a last minute mailer and we had already use our regular 
 mail box for our weekly Security newsletter. It was important 
 that we get that notice out to people who we thought might be 
 attending Tech-Ed as Sunbelt was accidentally left out of a 
 proper position in the Microsoft Exchange Directory. 
 David Cragg

 Understandably you assumed it was spam, with a juno address as the 
 sender. Turns out this -is- what they use for their returns. An 
 unfortunate choice to say the least. Hope this clarifies the 
 situation.
 
 Warm regards,
 
 Stu

Best practices recommend otherwise:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechn
ol/ad/windows2000/plan/bpaddsgn.asp

As a best practice use DNS names registered with an Internet authority in
the Active Directory namespace. Only registered names are guaranteed to be
globally unique. If another organization later registers the same DNS domain
name, or if your organization merges with, acquires, or is acquired by other
company that uses the same DNS names then the two infrastructures can never
interact with one another.

I agree, especially with the Road Warriors comment.

Unfortunately, we don't have any road warriors for the City, as we allow OWA
to be used, and the connection speed for that is just fine for everyone; or
so they say.

I will probably wait to upgrade to Exchange 2003 for at least a year, let
everyone else work out the bugs :)

 Good morning,
 
 Surely you are laughing by now.  But my management team wants
 to know why I want to spend all of this money for Exchange 
 2003/Outlook 2003.  I mean we are currently on Outlook 98 and 
 Exchange 5.5.
 
 How do I justify the expense and get it in the budget for
 2004.  Help!!!

What would these do that your current system doesn't do (easy enough to
figure out) that you will need / want to do in future (not so easy)?

How important is continued support from Microsoft to you? Do you have a
lot of road warriors or people on remote sites with relatively slow
links?

Are you running Windows 2000 or 2003 active directory? If so then it
makes good sense not to have to maintain 2 user directories and
upgrading to a newer version of exchange would enable this.

Indeed.

I have dozens of Exchange books.  Literally.

If I compare, say, Barry Gerber's Mastering Exchange 5.5 (Sybex) with Paul
Robichaux's book, I get more info in fewer pages in Paul's and the text is
readable.  Maybe it's an author-reader compatability thing.  I find the
style suitable.  No offense intended to Mr Gerber, but

Plus, when I go to the index with a search term in mind, it is THERE.  In
some other books, I struggle to locate that which I seek.

  Hello All:

  Second day on the job as the new Exchange Admin and I need help! My
 employer has a two yr old backup tape of Exchange data. The Co. was
 using Arc-Serve 6.5. We are now using Veritas but found a version of
 Arc-Serve and believe we have recovered the data.

  Now, I need to place the data onto an Exchange Server so I can XMerge
 the necessary mailboxes into .pst files. Is there a way I can move the
 priv.edb and pub.edb files to my bridgehead or other mail servers and
 XMerge the needed data that is being requested for legal reasons
 nonetheless? Or, do I need to build a new Exchange Server? Any detailed
 information is much appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone care to lend help to a frustrated admin here at tech ed?
all of a sudden 2 of my exchange boxes stopped talking to each other; no
changes on either box. One here and one in the UK.
both MTA queues are filling up and not transferring mail.
both event logs have numerous event id 9318 and 9322 but all the queue
articles I can find dont apply.
All are in DNS
Both can ping and rping each other consistently . . . .map drives, etc. i
have rebooted one in Uk since they are gone.

any ideas?
VERY frustrating and all the experts I can ask are gone! :(

Did you see this one?
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q323733

It's really not an exchange error.  It's way more likely a networking error
or Windows error.

An MtaBindBack over RPC has failed

The receiving MTA can not authenticate (bind) the sending MTA

Can you bump up diagnostics on it?

3.  Mount database store and use the eseutil tool to create the pst

Eseutil does not create .pst files.  

When you get your backup restored to your recovery server (which you ought
to keep around to test restores regularly), you can extract a mailbox with
'ExMerge' to .pst.

 Exchange 5.5 Sp3 on NT 4 Sp 5

 Exchange server backups using NT Backup was working until a few day ago.

 Now the information store backup starts then terminates 10 minutes into
the
 backup.

 The event log messages is  MS ExchangeIS (253) The database engine has
 stopped the backup procedure  with a red error flag .

 When the backup was working it took about 120 minutes and on completion
the
 event message was the same with a blue information message.

 There does not appear to be any problems with tapes or tape drive because
 the MS directory store backup appears to be working correctly.

 Can anyone suggest why the backup stops and a fix to get the backup
working.

 Thanks,

Our drive that contains information store is near capacity. We will like to
replace it with a larger drive. Will the following scenario work?

1. After shutting down the server, add the larger drive and bring back the
server with all Exchange services stopped. 2. Copy the MDBData folder to the
new drive. 3. Rename the new drive same as the old drive (E: in this case)
in Disk Manager. 4. Start the Exchange services after running  isinteg
-patch. 5. If everything goes well, shutdown the server and remove the old
drive and boot up.

Is there any flaw in this thinking? Please comment. Thanks.

 Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 12:18:29 -0500

 Good afternoon,

 We are in the midst of budgeting for the year 2004.  Active Directory is a
 Security Team directive and if they get their piece done, we will be able
to
 migrate to Exchange 2003.

 Currently we are using Outlook 98 and Exchange 5.5.

 We have 4500 mailboxes and will probably grow to 5000 by mid-2004 when we
 are looking at to convert.

 How intense is Active Directory from the Security Team's view-point? We
are
 using Novell and NT 4.0. There are approximately 12000 accounts to be
 converted to AD.

 Once their piece is in place and our upgrade and migration from Exchange
5.5
 to Exchange 2003 starts, how long will it take us to convert these 5000
 users.  Are their tools out there to help with the migration? Are there
 things that a eMAIL Administrator has to do for AD? To we have to touch
each
 mailbox and replace distribution lists?

 I know these plans are a long way down the road, but I want to be
positioned
 to get there with great success. I would really appreciate hearing your
 struggles from exchange (any flavor) to active directory.

 Thanks for your time and efforts.

well.  You cannot rename an Exchange server, so your options are to
rebuild the server with a new name, or put in a 3rd party relay that
offers the chance to say HELO using a different name.

Conversation: Renaming E2K server
Subject: Renaming E2K server


I have to rename my E2K server as it doesn't match its hostname and uses
an underscore (so I can't just change the hostname).  Some external mail
recipients reject mail as the servername and hostnames don't match.
It's also a DC so I'll have to demote it first

My question is simply are there any problems in changing the name of a
mailserver?  Should I stop all the services first?  And do I need to do
anything to the AD once I've demoted it to a member server.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Oliver

Re: Exmerge?

2003-03-24 Thread William Lefkovics
For only 3 people, you can use Outlook to esport to .pst if you're
concerned.

ExMerge will do this while the computer is online.  The help file that comes
with is very thorough.

The .pst files are going to take up more room than what that content
occupied in the Exchange database.

Subject: Exmerge?




I have to use the exmerge utility to create PST files of mailboxes for
about 3 users who are leaving the firm. Their mailbox sizes are really
huge (about 1GB each). I have never had the opportunity to use Exmerge,
so I want to get an idea. Can this be done online or do I need to take
the Exchange Server offline to do this? I know it affects the SIS, will
it really increase my database size drastically? I only have 4GB of
space left on a 36Gb partition where the Information store resides. Will
this retain the folder tree structure for OL client.
If it requires exchange downtime, I'd rather export to PST files using
the Outlook client.

Thanks for all your input

Raj

Are you talking about separate aliases for mailing list management?  Or
do
you need to send from different addresses?

Assuming Exchange 2000 (you mention ADUC) you can add additional SMTP
addresses to the User object in ADUC (Properties, Email Addresses tab).
This
will put any mail sent to the additional alias into you mailbox, where
you
can use rules, etc. to further process and sort.  You can already use
rules
to manage mailing list traffic without the need to create alternate
aliases,
and the additional aliases won't change the 32k limit on total rule size
in
Exchange.

never-never land.
And internal delivery, with-in the site, is fine. But when ALL users send

There are client-side and server-side rules.  Server-side rules, though
created with the client, activate on the server without the client open.

GC!. That's THE keyword. GC. It depends heavily on ONE GC. It does NOT
know
how to seek and use other available GC for its lookups. It has to be
hard-wired to just one. This would be fine for a one-site, small
network.
But, in my Multi-Site, multi-GC, Multi-network environment, this has
been
nothing but a PITA.

That's my primary gripe. Recovery from failure is an exercise in
voodooism..

By that logic, should we be using a simpler more affordable messaging

All the guys that I have spoken to at PSS try and keep you away from a

Active Passive, and the cluster should do nothing else but Exchange (I
know,
everyone knows it - but it bears repeating).

I have a cluster here (currently active/active but that is being
changed),
and I can tell you this much

There are extra steps in making a FE/BE situation work (and it can be a
hassle).  Clusters cannot run the SRS service.   The cluster will roll
itself on occasion, and some people will have to close and reopen
Outlook.
Exchange 2K is complex enough, why would you want to spend extra money
to
make it more complex?  Please make sure you know what you're getting
yourself into.  I wish I could get a hold of the guy who talked my boss
into
a cluster and kick him in the ding ding!

The budget for the software isn't an issue for us. Microsoft is on our
board
of directors, and so supplies us with software at no cost. If we had to
pay
for the software, it would probably be another story, but even then I
would
still pull for Outlook/Exchange. I think the Outlook/Exchange
combination is
one of the best ways to handle the type of email we deal with, which is
mostly project based and so the shared folders model works great.

  Exchange 2000 server for about 30 local users, and another 20 via
OWA.

  The email load will be fairly heavy, and there will be a lot of use
of

  shared folders and calendars.
 
  I'm concerned about taking the time to set the server up, get
Exchange

  up and running, only to find that it's running too slowly for the
  users to be productive. I know more is better, but this is a
  non-profit with a very limited budget, so I want to make sure we
have
  what we need. Is this server going to be a serious bottleneck?
 
  Thanks,
  Erick

Hi ,

I hope you can put me in the right direction. At present I am running
Ex5.5 on a 2000 server. I am upgrading my PDC  from NT to Windows 2000
and
incorporating Exchange 2000 into the domain. What are the basic steps
that
I have to do to move mailboxes etc before decommissioning the old 5.5
server. ( I may still use this as a backup server off site).
I look forward to your comments. 
If you could recommend a good book to cover this topic, that would be
great.

thanks very much

Phil

We are running Exchange 5.5. I am not sure if deleted item retention is
enabled.  BTW, how do I find out whether it is on or off?  Thanks!

If you have deleted item retention on, you may be able to get it back.
What Exchange version are we talking about anyhow?

One of our users mistakenly deleted his past Friday's calendar
information
through his PDA.  We do have a backup of our Exchange server data for
this
past weekend.  My question is there any utility in exchange which will
let
me restore only his calendar information from the backup.   Any
assistance
would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Of course this would be only for 'tinkering'.  :o)

It's neat... accessing Titanium on the same server with Outlook11
running in VMWare.

Microsoft deploys some labs in this manner.

We're going to test it as a DR tool.  The ability to set 2 identical 
servers, leave one powered down, and if the live one dies you start up
the 
other virtual server.  Should be interesting to see if it works.

I am actually thinking about using VMWare as an additional abstraction 
layer.

For example if my server blows up, I can restore system state and
reinstall 
Exchange with the /disasterrecovery switch ONLY IF the hardware is
exactly 
the same. Otherwise system state restore will end up with a BSOD.

With VMWare I think I would be able to do a system state restore to any

hardware because VMWAre would look the same anywhere.

Am I thinking straight?
