Alias Names
Exchange 5.5 SP4/Win2K SP2 When creating users with similar names e.g. David Li and Daniel Linden with usernames dli and dlinden Exchange and OWA cannot determine the difference. When setting up Outlook2K for dli and then having it verify the mailbox it will ask which account and give David Li and Daniel Linden as choices. When trying to login via OWA it won't get to the users mailbox. The alias names should be unique enough and the only workaround is to change the aliases. Is there any setting that I may have wrong or is this the way it is?

RE: Messages dissapearing from my inbox in Outlook 2000 !!!
I've seen this happen before. Either it's: 1) A POP account somewhere (which you have determined shouldn't be the case) 2) Outlook is goofed up, deleting the profile and re-creating it fixes it for us 3) Your Views (Views...Current View...Customize Current View...) is screwed up. Again deleting the profile fixed this. Did you try logging in from a different workstation to see if you can see your messages or try using OWA. If OWA looks right then it's the client.

Special Mailbox Restricting SMTP Recipients
Win2K/Exch 5.5 SP4 I have a user that wants an account created that will be limited to: 1) Sending to specific SMTP addresses outside of Exchange (i.e. Off campus faculty) 2) Cannot receive SMTP E-mail If I had Custom Recipients for the outside recipients could I still send them e-mail if the user doesn't have an SMTP address? I know there's a way to have Exchange only e-mail, I'll look in the archives for it so don't bash me :^) But can I still send to only a select group of SMTP recipients? Don't bother suggesting third-party solutions though because we won't by anything for a single users.

RE: .net questions
Funny, just got out of a meeting with MS about .net. I would suggest getting your MS rep out there to the developers and infrastructure groups to see what .net provides for both areas. Your basically looking at XML Web Services that will allow you Rapid Application Development and cross platform communication. There are four parts to .net: Clients, Servers, XML Web Services and Developer tools We just got the developer pitch today (kind of understood what was going on) and will get the infrastructure part later (my area). But .net as far as I can figure is a family of development and server products. Exchange 2000 is one of the .net applications but I don't think Terminal Services really changes much between Win2K and .net servers. Biztalk Server, Share Point Portal Server, Exchange 2000, SQL 2000, etc. are all part of the 12 server products that will be available. There are also the development platforms Visual Studio .net, etc. Ken --- Ken Leyba Windows/Exchange System Administrator California State University Dominguez Hills -Original Message- From: Thompson, Elizabeth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 5:00 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: .net questions Situation: Our web committie (i am not involved) meet and decided there was no need to go to .net for web at this time, becuase they could do everything they needed to with out it. not that great, can do the same stuff myself no-tech manager a then went to non-tech higher up b (my boss's boss) and said what! we need to go to .net, as MS says it is the next best thing! non-tech higher up b (my boss's boss) said to my boss what is up with .net and why aren't we going to it?

RE: Exchange 5.5 on W2K
Why? When we deployed Exchange 5.5 on Win2K, Microsoft asked us if we wanted to deploy Exchange 2000 beta and they would support it. I said no because I wasn't sure the A/V or backup would work. Note howver I had near zero testing/evaluation time; nice huh? I shoulda went Exchange 2000. The Windows 2000 ADC doesn't work very well, test and use the ADC from the Exchange 2K CD instead. I've had odd problems with services hanging once every few months (STORE.EXE is a favorite). So I'm rebooting the Exchange server once a month. So my suggestion is go Exchange 2000 if you can instead, you gotta go Exchange 2000 eventually right? I'm testing Exchange 2000 and migrations for the next couple of months before we deploy.

Deletion of Messages
One of our [l]users apparently while using the mailbox of another user (I hate when they allow this) swears he didn't delete any messages (yea right) but one of the VP Assistants started receiving notifications of messages not being read with the read receipts requested. Now they are asking me why this happened, naturally. So the only way I can think of is a) he actually deleted the items or b) if the Deleted Items folder Auto Archive properties is set to permanently delete old items and he chose yes to an auto archive request.

Hiding Groups/E-mail Addresses
In Exchange 5.5 I have an e-mail group that the members want to have hidden from the address book. So I have a generic question, if I hide an address from the address book they will no longer be able to send to that address? Or do I need to create an SMTP address (right now I only have an X.400 address since there's no need for external access) and have them send to a SMTP address instead? Will that even work? I'm open to other suggestions too but I'm not 100% sure what they want, i.e. they don't know what they want. They are getting back to me if just limiting senders to group members is good enough.

RE: restoration of mailbox
If you don't have brick level then you have to restore the full information store.

Stupid Firewall Tricks
Our director wants us to implement a firewall in front of our Windows 2000/Exchange 5.5 servers. Here is what the scenario is: Internet -- Users -- Firewall -- Exchange On the Exchange side we have the DC's, Exchange, IMC, OWA, etc. servers. On the public side we have the Windows 98/2000 clients, WINS server (which is a whole different issue) and Internet. There is a firewall before the Internet connection but it is basically useless since nothing is configured. On the private side we are to use NAT, since all the servers except the backup server will need to be accessed from the outside I really don't see what this is buying us. Basically we are putting a firewall in front of Exchange. We are currently testing the configuration but I think this may end up being a nightmare once we begin to change the Windows 2000 servers (i.e. Active Directory) IP addresses and DNS settings to the private addresses. I began by making registry hacks to force the RPC's through specific ports but our backbone admin figured out how to configure the PIX firewall without me having to make the changes. Now I'm reinstalling the test server to see that it's actually working. Can anyone give me any ammo as to why this is not the way to do things. I have tried to explain but I'm getting nowhere. I don't know maybe I'm wrong. However it seems it would be safer to implement the firewall at the internet connection, we seem to be trying to protect ourselves from our users. There would be a lot of politics involved with the Internet firewall but it does seem like the way to go.

RE: Stupid Firewall Tricks
The clients are faculty and staff. The idea is to protect from the Internet and the rest of the campus. Most clients are part of the domain, so yes, we have the domain logins as well as the Exchange. Others are just POP/SMTP clients, faculty mostly. We have some other kludges in place that require more ports open on the firewall (e.g. DNS zone transfers). I just wanted to do a brain check and make sure that I'm not making a big deal out of this and resisting too much.

If he is trying to protect the servers from students on campus I can sort of (just a little but still wouldn't do it) see his point for the firewall. But still the firewall between the machines that need access to the server is just going to require you to open up a bunch of ports and render the firewall useless. Also are the machines supposed to join the Domain that's going to be on the other side of the firewall. The setup seems kind of silly to me.

RE: Outlook Web Access Sent Items
The thing that bugs me is the user who says that when she logs into OWA it shows the To: field in the Sent Items folder. I'll have to wait until she gets back Tuesday to look at it. I wasn't sure if I was missing some setting to be able to change this. - Ken Leyba Windows/Exchange System Administrator California State University Dominguez Hills -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 1:30 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Outlook Web Access Sent Items That's the default view.

RE: Blackberry Enterprise server for Exchange
We've been running for about 6 months with no issues, but have less than 20 BB users. I agree their support isn't the best. My first call to support and I never received a call back. Luckily I figured it out myself. The second time they answered the phone and I got a fix right away and they even followed up twice, go figure. We are also Win2K w/Exchange 5.5 and the BB server is a separate server. I'm evaluating the Itrezzo agent too and we will be buying it this week if my boss ever issues the P.O. - Ken Leyba Windows/Exchange System Administrator http://www.csudh.edu/exchange California State University Dominguez Hills Phone: 310-243-2815 Fax: 310-516-3877 -Original Message- From: Brian Bauer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 1:52 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Blackberry Enterprise server for Exchange We have been using it for almost a year now with no problems.

Watch those TechNet CD's
Over the weekend at a consulting gig we were installing Exchange 5.5 SP4 and during the middle of copying the files the installer dies with read errors. After the second attempt with the same error we popped the CD only to find that it had two defects on the surface. Two little plastic bumps in the middle of the tracks. We ended up downloading all the SP4 files from the MS website and luckily recovering with no problems. That liitle bug cost us over two hours :^( My associate called MS this morning and they said they couldn't replace a single CD but were going to send us the latest TechNet Welcome kit with all the current CD's! - Ken Leyba Windows/Exchange System Administrator http://www.csudh.edu/exchange California State University Dominguez Hills Phone: 310-243-2815 Fax: 310-516-3877 List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
