It doesn't even mention it, apart from Q261173, How to enable the "message journaling" function for an Exchange 2000 mailbox store, and it does not come up in a search. What am I doing wrong? >> CLICK here for Scott Schnoll's expert response... http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid1_cid529806_tax285117,00.html Want more tips like this one?
