Exactly.  Plus it gives me the ability to send mail to different servers via domain name without having to worry about MX records or DNS.  Everything points to the gateway.

Title: RE: Delay messages





The delay option is in corp. mode as well.  But it does not do what the original poster asked which is delaying messages over one mb - it simply delays the selected message.  Kind of a pain that I doubt users would actually do.  It does take a third party to effectively do this.

Is there an SMTP server that accepts for relay but dumps the mail ?

[Zangara, Jim]

 
Hey folks 
-
 
Strange as this may 
sound I am looking for an SMTP server product that will accept email from a 
particular IP address then automatically dump it - no NRD - no try to relay - 
nothing.
 
For background - we 
use a NAV gateway that has a Q that fills up with NDR's to non-valid domains 
(spam).  I want to send them to this junk server and have it drop 
them.  It is a limitation of the product that allows this to build up but I 
like the extra protection and flexibility it affords me.
 
TIA

  I have two people who are not 
  able to access OWA - everyone else can. The two people do have Domain 
  Users rights. Interestingly they had lock out problem referenced in 
  Q278299 but with that (maybe) fixed they can not access 
  OWA

RE: can I delete msgs by subject?

The new version of antigen (6.5) supposedly gives you that ability but I have not had a chance to install and test it yet.

Subject: can I delete msgs by subject?



Is it possible to delete messages out of all the thousands of mailboxes in
the store based on subject? I know that you could do this with the
ExMerge.exe utility, however it processes mailboxes too slowly to be
practical, so I was wondering if there was a faster, quicker method.


Thanks in advance...

To use this, you must agree to hold the PST in mention at least 3 days. The
user must be warned in advance that this is a very risky operation and there
is no guarantee it may work. You must make them sweat. Then when you give it
back, you will be a hero.

One of our ever wise staff members managed to lock herself out of her

Apple connection to Exchange

[Zangara, Jim]

Title: Message



Hello 
-
 
Does anyone 
know of any whitepapers or troubleshooting guides to help me resolve 
connectivity issues with MAC's to my exchange 
server?
 
We are 
running Exchange 5.5 sp5 on NT4 SP6a.  The MACS are running OS9.1 and 
Outlook for Mac and have a host file that points to the correct server.  
They are able to ping the server I can resolve their name and the server name 
using IP/Alias, but they cannot open their information store.  They get 
Exchange Server offline error.  I can open their store from any real 
computer (notice I am NOT a MAC fan) using their credentials and can use OWA 
from the MACs.
 
Any 
ideas?

  I 
  know one thing about the macs, is they hate that hosts file 
  #1.
   
  #2, 
  when they resolve the name go back in and sometimes the name is changed. Also, 
  make sure you allow clear text (I dont know how to shut it off mind you) but 
  the macs can only send in clear text I believe.
   
   Do you have appleshare running on your ntfs volumes? I dont know 
  if you need this but the few installations I have done involving macs I always 
  used appleshare as well to help it along..

Thanks 
- sorry if I sounded frustrated - two very vocal users and I guess ignorance 
breeds contempt as far as MACs go for me.  
 
Using 
Outlook 2001 - when I resolve the name I start with IP and Alias and resolve to 
Computer Name and User name.
 
Static 
IP address even on the same subnet plugged into the same switch as the exchange 
server.
 
Not 
sure about the domain in the Additional Search Domains will check that first 
thing in the morning.  Already have the ticket open with PSS - boss didn't 
care - we will just get in the queue in the morning if this doesn't resolve 
it.
 
Thanks 
for the advice!

  Jim,
  Did 
  you get your problem resolved?
  If 
  not are you using Outlook 2001 or Outlook 8.x.
  If 
  your using the old version try Outlook 2001 from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/
  Also 
  are you resolving the names using DNS. If so how are the macs getting their IP 
  address, DHCP or static?
  On 
  the Mac in the TCP/IP control panel do you have your domain name in the 
  Additional Search domains. If not it might help having it 
  there.
   
  I 
  hope this info helps. I started off as a mac person and still consider them 
  real computers. However I don't think they are real network clients just like 
  win9x isn't a real network client.

RE: Apple connection to Exchange

[Zangara, Jim]

Title: Message



Possible fix found -
 
According to PSS and some tests we ran, my Exchange server is not 
listening on canc_ip_tcp which is required for MAC connectivity.  He has 
provided my a hot fix to solve it Q297534 unfortunately he provided me a bum 
link to download the fix.  So till Monday we wait.  No big deal, 
luckily the MAC users are off this weekend.  
 
If

  My

I regularly 
connect to the campus Exchange server from home using my personal iMac. It 
is running OS X and Outlook 2001 (running in Classic mode). When I set this 
up for the very first time, I just installed Outlook 2001 and told it my 
mailbox name. It simply worked like it was supposed to work. I've also used 
Outlook 2001 on the iMac here in the office that is running Mac OS 9. It too 
connected just like you'd expect it to - on the first 
try.

  Thanks - sorry if I sounded frustrated - two very vocal users 
  and I guess ignorance breeds contempt as far as MACs go for me.  
  
   
  Using Outlook 2001 - when I resolve the name I start with IP 
  and Alias and resolve to Computer Name and User 
  name.
   
  Static IP address even on the same subnet plugged into the same 
  switch as the exchange server.
   
  Not sure about the domain in the Additional Search Domains will 
  check that first thing in the morning.  Already have the ticket 
  open with PSS - boss didn't care - we will just get in the queue in 
  the morning if this doesn't resolve it.

Jim,
Did you get your problem resolved?
If not are you using Outlook 2001 or Outlook 
8.x.
If your using the old version try Outlook 2001 from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/
Also are you resolving the names using DNS. If so how are the 
macs getting their IP address, DHCP or static?
On the Mac in the TCP/IP control panel do you have your 
domain name in the Additional Search domains. If not it might help 
having it there.
 
I hope this info helps. I started off as a mac person and 
still consider them real computers. However I don't think they are 
real network clients just like win9x isn't a real network 
client.

RE: Block out sending mail to a specific user

[Zangara, Jim]

you 
could block sending to his domain by putting a false entry in your LMHOSTS file 
(might be the hosts file need to double check) on your exchange server.  
That would mis-direct all email sent to that domain to whatever bogus IP address 
you gave it.

Users Cannot Connect to Server

[Zangara, Jim]

Title: Users Cannot Connect to Server






Hey Guru's


Exchange 5.5 sp4 running on NT4 sp6a 512 megs of ram - Three drives C:500 megs free d:20 gigs free and e:20 gigs free as reported by My Computer.  The server is fully patched (but not the new rollup fix - want to see other's experience with it first).

This morning new users were unable to connect.  If you left your system running the night before all was fine - received email send - no issues but if you logged on this morning you got Exchange Server Unavailable.  Server was up - all services running.  No errors in event log other than event 1008 relating to performance Monitor.

In my notifications I got a notice that Error 67 occurred - no other information and a notice that drive D: was nearly full - Hard to believe with it showing 20 gigs free.

We are only running about 300 users and the priv.edb is 5.9 gigs.  No public folders.


A reboot cleared it up but I do not like that being the answer.


Anyone have any ideas on where to start?  My KB search for error 67 pulled up nothing that seems to relate.


TIA 


Jim

Using Word as your email editor opens up Outlook to more virus exploits from my understanding.  We have made it a policy not to allow that here just for that reason.  

Doesn't help with your problem but not sure it is a good idea to allow it.

When your system is configured as an open relay, then spammers are able to steal your resources and use them to steal other people's resources. They're not forcing anyone to use their lists - the lists are available as a service only.  The people who use those lists have chosen not to receive mail from open relays.  They're merely protecting their own property from misguided and/or malicious property owners/caretakers such as those who run open relays. 

You are free to ignore them, if you wish.  But you must be prepared to deal with the consequences if you do.


BTW, Siegfried, how's that Event Sink coming to allow E2K to use the RBL?

I have been watching my IMS queue.  I haven't found any from ORBZ but from ORBS Mail-abuse, RBS or something like that and two others I just can't remember.

I haven't had a problem with them removing me from there lists, usually takes less than a day and usually in a few hours.  

I don't like the fact that you get black listed and you are not notified. And I also don't like the fact that some outside organization is determining how we as admins set up our systems.  I know I can't fight it, but it is the way it is.

Hey, Bill, check out this page:  http://www.orbz.org/sysadmin-darkside.php



Use this page to report a closed relay.  The host that
you report will be removed from our blackhole list
and added to our queue for testing.  It will then be
marked as clean if it does not allow relaying, or
readded to one or more of our lists if it does.

Hello 


Could not find anything on the Archives on this so hopefully one of you will have dealt with it 


Exchange 5.5 sp4 NT 4.0 sp6a


Sent a question about POP a few days ago and am in the process of implementing it.  My boss has talked to MS PSS just to be sure and he is telling me we are going to need to use a different SMTP server for them to send against.  I thought using the setting in the POP connector for Exchange to relay for authenticated users in conjunction with having the Outlook client be set to "My Server requires Authentication" should allow them to send.  These guys will be using various methods of accessing the internet from DSL to dialup so I cannot set IP settings for it.

I have not implemented this yet but my tests from home using my cable modem seem ok.  


Any one have any insights?

Was 
rereading your response and just noticed the second line 


POP 
doesn't support subfolders below the inbox, either.
 
Is that just in Exchange POP?  

 
I have always had multiple subfolders below my inbox 
on the old POP server we are moving off of.

It's not *bad* practice.
 
It's one of the client options.
 
You must properly secure your server against relay should you allow 
SMTP from the same POP clients.

Offices 
are part of the organization and I have requested either to put them on the

I even

Using Exchange 5.5 SP 3 on a clustered server using Legato 
CoStandby Server. I need to take Exchange server off of the clustered server 
and set it up on a new server. However, I cannot change the name of the 
existing server. For some reason, I cannot set up the new server as a member 
server of the existing exchange server (the costandby server software gets 
in the way of directory replication and the install fails). So, I need to 
move the IS and DS to a new machine with a new name. I have tried exporting 
the directory to CSV files, changing the site information to the new machine 
and importing. This did move all of the DS over to the new server. I then 
tried to restore the IS from an online backup (using NTBackup). The IS 
appears to be there and the directory seems intact, but now I can start the 
ES or the MTA.
Is there a better way to move this data to a new server, or 
am I stuck exporting everyone to PSTs, killing the old server and 
reinstalling/restoring on a new server.

OWA Access from Different Server

[Zangara, Jim]

Hello
 
I am part of a WAN 
that has several bridgehead servers and about a hundred Exchange 5.5 sp4 
servers.
 
I am responsible for 
two of these servers that both email addresses on 
our domain.
 
One of these servers 
has a direct internet connection so we are using it for OWA.
 
Users who mailbox 
reside on that server have no problems at all accessing OWA.
 
Users whose 
mailboxes are on the other server cannot access it at all.  

 
They get Unable to 
get inbox - I know it is not an alias issue as we use the full SMTP 
address.
 
I thought it was 
trust but we have a reciprocal trust relationship and I can access all files on 
their domain and they can access all of mine.  We also use wins replication 
that seems to be working fine (no error messages).
 
I am thinking I need 
a connector between the two servers.  In looking at the setups (that I 
inherited) we have site connectors to different bridgehead 
servers.
 
Can anyone point me 
in the direction to go to learn how to set this up?
 
Could not find 
anything on Microsoft or in the archives.
 
Ordered a couple of 
books but would like to get a jump on this if possible.
 
TIA

Title: RE: OWA / Web Access





I would double check with your firewall provider.


From outside I can get DNS resolution to your domain but not a ping reply.


I suspect you need a conduit opened in your firewall to allow incoming port 80 (assuming that is where you put OWA) connections.

Just a thought.

I have been trouble shooting a problem for what feels like a year now
.  I'm hoping one of you guru's out there can guide me a little.


Problem:  Unable to access OWA / Web site externally.


Platform: 1 server with E2K, Win 2K Server, IIS. 1 server with Win 2K
server that handles DNS, Wins, etc. 1 Netopia router, and 1 WatchGuard
Firebox II firewall.


Info:  We can recieve and send email internal & externally fine.
Internally we can access OWA and our website.  Our ISP reports that
everything is going thru the router (and nothing is being NAT'ed at this
level).  Our firewall people say port 80 requests are making it thru the
firewall properly and that they are not being handled by E2K, and more
than likely its an SMTP connector problem.  


Frankly, at this point I am stumped...I inherited this mess and don't
even know how to proceed from here.  Any thoughts?

Hey folks we are getting nailed by this new virus - we had already blocked the exe extension but there are two new extensions causing the windows media player to start - and share your C drive and propagate itself.  We are now blocking the *.EML and *.NWS per Antigen.

Just wanted to spread the word - not the virus :)


Good luck.

Jim,


Here is a copy of what Sophios is saying in case you have not seen this
yet:


Name: W32/Nimda-A
Type: W32 executable file virus
Date: 18 September 2001


A virus identity file (IDE) which provides protection is available now from our website and will be incorporated into the November 2001 (3.51) release of Sophos Anti-Virus.

Sophos has received many reports of this virus from the wild.


Description:


W32/Nimda-A is an email-aware virus that spreads using an attached filename of README.EXE.


Sophos researchers are continuing to examine the virus and will be posting a more detailed description of the virus on the Sophos website once the analysis is complete.


Use the file filter that I told you about earlier, README.EXE on all file types.

this is from 
antigen - they are part of this new worm virus that is causing media player to 
open on our desktops when the virus is in the preview pane.  Since we were 
already blocking the readme.exe attachment it can't do a hole lot except annoy 
my users.  Antigen blocking these extensions will prevent further 
infection.

W32/Nimda.A@mm  - just came in from antigen.



Virus Name:
---
W32/Nimda.A@mm



Alias:
---
W32/Nimda-A
W32/Nimda-mm




E-mail Subject:
---
None




E-mail Body:

None



E-mail Attachments:

README.EXE



Description:
---
This worm will enter a computer in one out of possibly two ways - it will either be received as an email with an attachment, and it seems that it will also attempt to break into machines running the web server software IIS (Internet Information Server), through a security hole known as a "directory traversal exploit". 

When the file is run, it will copy itself to the system directory as a hidden file called LOAD.EXE. This file is called from the file SYSTEM.INI so that it is run from startup.


At the Present time a Filter Rule for : Readme.exe (all types) will remove this from your email server


We will be releasing AV Engine Updates when they are made available.


Thank You,

Ed Crowley Server Move Method

[Zangara, Jim]

Title: Ed  Crowley Server Move Method






Hey Folks


The errors on my current exchange server and the fact that the previous guy set it up as a bdc and other things running on it has prompted me to move it to a new better stronger faster box only running exchange.  I am going to utilize the Ed Crowley method but I had a question I was hoping someone could answer.

Is it possible to move users to the new server and place them in recipient containers?


TIA

Step Two Ed Crowley Server Move Method

[Zangara, Jim]

Title: Step Two Ed Crowley Server Move Method





Exchange 5.5 sp5 on win 4.0 sp 6a (Both machines)



In step two of my migrations I am hitting something I don't understand.  Please forgive my ignorance if this is a simple thing.  The text reads:

 2. In the old server's Information Store properties, change the location of the mailboxes' Public Folder server to be the new server. This will take care of any newly created public folders. (You'll have to stop and restart the Exchange services before this will take effect.)

I see on the bottom of the properties page the home server is set to the old server.  How do I change that?  In the Instances tab there is a EventConfig_NewServer setting that is already on the left.  

I have searched the Q and found several articles relating re-homing public folders but I am not positive that is what I need to do and want this box to be pristine from day one.  FYI I don't have any public folders as yet on the old or new server.

Any advice will be appreciated


TIA


Jim

They should use the desktop redirector for the blackberry instead of rules - gives much more flexibility.


Note the desktop doesn't work with office XP.

Build a filter in your desktop redirector.  It doesn't matter if you sue the desktop redirector or the server one - you still filter messages from the desktop redirector.

No.


All OWA needs is IIS properly configured and OWA itself.  It does not need a full install of exchange to function - just connectivity to exchange - it uses NetBIOS names so make sure your WINS is good or put a hosts file.  If your current server is running out of room I bet a dozen Krispy Kremes that it is the IIS log files getting unruly.

  Question:  Is there a way to ensure that all

  The users have been informed but I

I regularly

It is running OS X and Outlook 2001 (running in Classic mode). When I 
set this up for the very first time, I just installed Outlook 2001 and 
told it my mailbox name. It simply worked like it was supposed to work. 
I've also used Outlook 2001 on the iMac here in the office that is

  Thanks - sorry if I sounded frustrated - two very vocal

  Using Outlook 2001 - when I resolve the name I start with

  Static IP address even on the same subnet plugged into the

  Defragging it means running eseutil.  From a cmd 
  prompt the proper syntax would be:  eseutil /d priv.edb /is   
  This must be run from the drive that the priv.edb is located and this drive 
  should have a minimum of 16 GB free space or the defrag will not complete, you 
  should really have about 110% of the size of the database in free space 
  available for the defrag to run.  The exchange services must be stopped 
  in order for the defrag to run, and you can expect it to take a while to 
  run.  
   
  Once 
  you get this completed and this server back online, you need to think about 
  setting mailbox limits, running mailbox manager on a regular basis, until this 
  office can upgrade to Enterprise.

I know that there are clustering products out there, but can you setup 2 Exchange 5.5 servers to point to a single Store in the event one fails the other picks up where the other left off?

Our current cert is nearing expiration. Verisign has also opted to up the cost to almost 900 bucks. With aspirations of putting a cert on the workstyle server as well as some secure web sites we are looking to an alternative to verisign. With CA built into windows it seems like a good alternative.

Connected site uses Internet Mali AND x400

[Zangara, Jim]

Title: Message



Hey Folks 
-
 
Strange question and my 
upstream guys are clueless.
 
We are part of a *huge* 
organization with a mix of Exchange 5.5 and 2000 sites.  Mail flows from my 
site to all of the other connected sites using X400 without an issues except for 
this new site they just migrated in.  
 
These guys are using Exch 
2000 and used to be stand alone until we absorbed them.  I am assuming they 
used the Server Migration Wizard to bring it in but I was not involved in 
it.  My site is Exch 5.5 sp4.
 
My problem is whenever my 
users send email to anyone in this one particular site it tries to use the 
Internet Mail service while it still delivers the email using the X400.  
The end result is they get the email but I have to go in and bounce messages 
from the IMS that say "Host Unreachable".
 
This is the case for 
mail messages and messages to their main distribution list which is listed in my 
main distribution list.
 
Not a major thing but I am 
sick of users calling asked why they get the bounce even though the mail was 
delivered.
 
Any ideas would be 
appreciated.

strange fact - one of the 
users on the foreign system has an email address from my domain and he receives 
mail fine through the x400 if I use my native domain.  However if I just 
pick him from the GAL exchange uses his native SMTP address and the message sits 
in my IMS Q but still gets delivered to him via x400.  Same for 
DL's as well.

Hello,


Has anyone successfully "clustered" an Exchange database across a WAN link? Anotherwords, all the benefits of clustering Exchange, but a situation where the other Exchange server is sitting at a datacenter, ready to take over it's partner (across a WAN link) role.

I have read about NSI's GeoCluster and that sounds like it would work, but hoped someone had practical experience with the package (or others if they exist).

Hello folks, 


Have a hardware issue that has required me to consolidate users from 2 servers on to 1 server. Users are complaining about Outlook just hanging. This is an Exchange 5.5 sp4 site running on NT 4.0 sp6 servers.  The hardware itself is a Compaq DL 380 Dual Pentium III - 733 with 500 mb of ram.  There is plenty of disk space on the all 3 partitions.

The server went from having about a 190 users on it to having 370 users. I thought that there would be more then enough CPU and Memory on this box to accommodate the additional users so that I could trouble shoot the other box but it doesn't appear so.

Does this box sound like it should be able to accommodate this many users? Does it need more memory?


Performance monitor shows much higher CPU usage for the STORE which is to be expected with increase in users but its not pegged all the time. 

Opinions?

Help.


I recently re-installed Exchange 5.5 after reconfiguring the entire network.  I can access all my other mailboxes just fine, but when I try to access the Administrator account, it comes back and asks me for my userid and password, which I give as Administrator and the administrator password.  It won't take it, and keeps re-asking.  I can cancel out, but I really want to the bounced e-mail.

Any thoughts on what is going on?

Backup Exec Problem

[Zangara, Jim]

Title: Message




Hey Folks - This 
list has been so helpful I am dipping into the well once 
again.
 
We are not getting a 
solid backup of our exchange server.  We have contacted Veritas and done 
every step they suggested and we have had zero luck.
 
Environment:
Exchange 5.5 sp4 
running on Windows 2000K SP2  Circular logging enabled until I can get a 
solid backup.
Backup Exec 8.5 
running on NT 4. SP 6a
Remote agents and 
Exchange agents installed (and reinstalled ad naseum)
 
It seems to be 
failing on the logs.  I have a 25 gigs of space on the log drive so I can 
disable circular but I am concerned of the ramifications of that as well without 
a solid backup.  I have full access to the server as I CAN do a Brick Level 
Backup but for obvious reasons would prefer not to.
 
 
TIA for any direction!

we do backup from a

Dell DLT drives.
 
We have been toying with 
disabling circular first so I guess with 25 gigs I should be able to - but if 
this does not work I don't want to not have a way back and then have this server 
get overwhelmed with uncommitted log files.
 
If I disable circular

  I have 2 servers running Backup Exec 8, one with a DDS3 and one with a DDS4, 
  neither have circular logging enabled.  The remote agent backup has me

  Not 
  sure what Veritas has suggested already, but it sounds like it might be a 
  permissions issue.  I wouldn't 
  want to leave it this way, but have you tried attaching to the server for 
  backups by using the exchange service account and then only backing up the 
  last two items (Directory and Information Store)?  We back up our E2k servers with BE 8.5 
  from a different machine than the Exchange servers.  We backed up our EX5.5 server the same 
  way for several years before that using Veritas software w/o resorting to 
  BLB.  I would also question having 
  the option checked to use OFO-shouldn't need it for just the stores (again, 
  separate the job from your drive backups, where you can use OFO).  One other thing-have you attempted to 
  run this at a different time?  
  Scheduled jobs or other Exchange tasks might be running in the 
  night.
   
  Just 
  ideas,
  Bonnie

Disabled circular 
logging.  Updated BE with latest build - (don't know the number the backup 
guy did it)  Using exchange service account as backup account for this 
job.  Rebuilt backup job without open file option and not backing up 
anything on that server except system stat and IS and DS with flush committed 
logs.  
 
Did a restart of the 
services before backup ran.  Zero errors.
 
Still dies at flushing 
logs.  Now I am thinking of going to a new backup software - anyone use 
commvault?

I use 8.5 I was hoping 8.6 would solve it but does not seem so by your 
error.
 
If you figure this out let 
me know.  I am thinking of going to a different 
product.

  We are running

  if

  why you should turn it off.

  we do backup from a 
  different server - two of them backing up all of my servers individually 
  onto Dell DLT drives.
   
  We have been toying 
  with disabling circular first so I guess with 25 gigs I should be able to 
  - but if this does not work I don't want to not have a way back and then 
  have this server get overwhelmed with uncommitted log 
  files.
   
  If I disable circular 
  logging can it be re-enabled without much issue?

Then I guess the next thing I would try would be to disable 
circular logging.  I have 2 servers running Backup Exec 8, one with 
a DDS3 and one with a DDS4, neither have circular logging enabled.  
The remote agent backup has me worried too.  Are you backing up the 
exchange database from another server?  That is something I havent 
tested before.  I always do local backups when it comes to 
exchange.  Never worked for a company with a large enough store to 
require anything else.

Try backing up just the exchange stuff using 1 tape if

  If 
  you have corruption in the store.. EXMERGE might fail on several mailboxes 
  depending on where the corruption is.
  I 
  have experienced this myself and the store would not move 3 mailboxes(out of 
  250) due to internal corruption. I had to save those out 
  individually(.PST) and then some folders wouldn't download due to same 
  corruption.
   
  The 
  good news was that I tried to run ESEUTIL on it afterwards and it came back 
  with a 50meg file once completed.. Basically a blank 
store.
   
  So 
  the destroy and re-create store option maybe your best

  We 
  had the same problem here.  Upgraded the firmware and drivers and have 
  not seen it since.  Thought the firmware flash and driver update was not 
  as "straight forward" as the instructions stated.  It took a couple of 
  tries to get the procedure right.

See Don Ely's response. He's the one that had a problem and solved 
via an update of the firmware.

  What model Dell server?  The 2450?  The problem I am 
  aware of with the Dell raid controllers on this specific server concerns 
  the firmware, not the drivers.  Dell says you must upgrade the 
  firmware before loading W2k, not just Exchange.

Are you sure you have the latest drivers for the raid 
controller?  I remember somebody having a problem with Dells and 
exchange.  Might want to check the Dell site and look specifically 
for Exchange.

So you have exmerged out and recreated on the 
same hardware?  As someone else said 1018's are likely to be 
caused by hardware problems.  Check out the caching on your 
controller, and does your controller write anything to it's own 
internal event logs??  Don't some HP NetRAID cards do 
that?  Maybe other vendors do similar?
 
Thanks

RE: datbase
True, but the problem is I don't have another server 
to put up in that site. So Ill have to track 
down the hardware issue I did an isinteg 
-pri -test alltests It came back with all 
Zero's .. Like it should.

Trouble is of course that you can spend ages trying 
to find it. I believe (through my experience with 1018 errors), even 
if you find the hardware problem the structure may still be 
corrupted so you will still have to move data off of the disk. My 
view is that you might as well do this from the start. Easiest way 
to do that is to add a mailbox server to the site and move 
mailboxes. Remember you don't have a good backup so you can't do it 
that way.

These errors are typically hardware problems, so 
unless you find the hardware problem
