-----Original Message----- From: Michael Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2002 3:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Administration Advice Hello, Myself being relatively new to Exchange 2000 Server Administration, am looking for some very brief advice as to what the top 10 things are to stay on top of, in order to ensure a smooth running system. You can read all the books you want, but there is no better information than hearing first hand from real-world Exchange Administrators. Would some of you be so kind as to reply with a few tips as to what I need to keep my eyes on? For example, log files growing out of control, security issues that I not be aware of, etc. ALSO, there is one thing I am trying to figure out - and that is under a Mailbox Store I created, there is a Mailbox called "SystemMailbox" with 826 'Total Items' in there. How can I view the contents of that Mailbox? Is this possibly bounced mail messages, or something else? Thank you all VERY much for your replies, Mike _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
