RE: Exchange 2003 Outlook 2003 connectivity issue
Update: This is the second morning that I have not had to reboot, everything is running fine. I have no comfort from this as I don't know what changed to cause the problem or what has changed to end it. I am back to running GFI Mail Security and Mail Essentials. Backups were run last night, GFI updates last night and no issues developed?? I do highly suspect one or more of the GFI services at a minimum aggrevating the issue if not the root cause. Obviously something is hanging up, and I'm not sure it's Exchange. Instead of rebooting the entire machine, you might try restarting individual services to try to figure out what's hanging.

RE: Exchange 2003 Outlook 2003 connectivity issue
To say nothing has changed would be incorrect. There have been updates to
my GFI software both Mail Essentials and Mail Security. There are a few
errors in my event log that I have not resolved - these are not new.

RE: Exchange 2003 Outlook 2003 connectivity issue
I attempted to do this, but was focused on the exchange server and IIS. This morning I did not have to reboot: Last night at 9:00 I installed a GFI Mailsecurity patch to correctly id MIMAIL virus (was being caught as corrupt zip file). This installation involved stopping IIS and all associated services, Stopping Information store, Stoping GFI services. Apply patch. Restart IIS, Information store, GFI. The only other thing I did was a full back up of my Information store earlier in the evening. Last Friday I rebooted the server twice during the day and had lost all my outlook clients connectivity. I eventually disabled GFI Mail essentials and after another reboot, got connectivity back. I left GFI Mail essentials service stoped thinking that I had pinpointed the problem, but Monday and Tuesday morning I had the issue come up again and ended up rebooting the servers. I now have Mail Essentials running again and as I said this morning I did not have to reboot at least not so far :-). _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Exchange 2003 Outlook 2003 connectivity issue
Each morning for the last 5, I have ended up rebooting my Exchange 2003 (on windows 2003 member server)because my Outlook clients (xp and 2003) recieve messages stating that outlook is downloading data from the exchange server, on non cached setups it just sits like this, on cached versions a red exclamation appears in the system tray. If you right click and choose cancel server request, it looks like all is connected for a minute or so, then it happens again no updates take place. If I right click on the outlook icon in the client system tray, it shows three connections to exchange server mail at least one of which will show multiple errors and an extended response time. Synchronization error log just shows Network problems are preventing connection to the microsoft exchange server. I have windows 2000 sp4, and Windows xp SP1(fully updated) clients mosly running Outlook 2003 some in exchange cached mode and some not cached, as well as a couple Outlook xp clients. All have same issue. The server is available (shared folders, remote desktop). The Event log does not show any unusual errors - nothing that marks the start of this issue. The Outlook 2003 client shows connected but with a red exclamation on the system tray icon. - does not shift to disconnected. The Exchange server is a dual xeon 2.4 ghz, 2 gig ram. Processor usage does not go above 20%, memory usage is normal, and the server has only one nic (gigabit) on a managed gigabit switch. The whole network is only about 35 computers and three servers. The whole thing sits behind a checkpoint firewall, so the lan users are not going through a router or firewall to reach the server. All users are experiencing the same thing at the same time. After I reboot, all is well until the next morning sometime. I have Virus protection on the server but it is set to exclude the exchsrvr directories and subdirectories. I have GFI Mail Essentials and GFI Mail Security running I have tried disabling GFI Mail Essentials (stopped Services), but the problem still came back. Automated Backup has been suspended until I resolve the issue (arcserve brightstor). I upgraded office xp to 2003 in about three sets over the course of 5 days. It was only after the last set that I started seeing this issue, but all are installed off the same shared folder using the same Group Policy. I had two computers on the Beta 2 of Office 2003 for months did not see this issue. Exchange Server has been 2003 since the RTM release. I don't know what else to look at - anybody have any advice? _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Exchange 2003 Outlook 2003 connectivity issue
I get the same basic issue on a regular basis with Exchange 2003/Windows 2000/GFI Mail Security 8. It happens absolutely every time the anti-virus (standard BitDefender and Norman) is updated. However, my slowdown rarely lasts more than about 30 seconds. I have similar hardware (dual xeon/2GB RAM) with about 1000 mail users - but I have never had the slowdowns last more than a minute. I am quite certain that the problem rests squarely in GFI MailSecurity but it is not a big enough issue for me to consider changing to a different AV vendor. I've just assumed that the update had to stop/start STORE or some other critical service for the AV engines to update. In over three years of using GFI, I haven't had a single viri/worm/exploit make it past the virus scanner. With that kind of record, I will tolerate a few seconds of delay when the virus definitions are updated.
