Exchange 2000 clean up agent

2001-12-11 Thread Dave Healey
Title: Message



I have just been 
tasked with the responsibility of our exchange 2000 server, of which I know very 
little, because the exchange admin was forced to take his vacation. Anyway 
we are running exchange 2000 with sp1 in a cluster environment. I have tried to 
run the cleanup agent on both of the information stores and it will not run. I 
get the following error message:


An Internal 
processing error has occurred. Try restarting the Exchange System Manager ( 
Already done twice) or the Microsoft Exchange Information store, or 
both

ID no: 
c1041724 
Exchange System 
Manager

I have restarted the Exchange System Manager and it did not 
work. I can not reconnect a deleted mailbox either. Although it appears to 
let me, it does not reconnect and when I try to reconnect again it tells me that 
it already has been reconnected to a user but has not replicated. This happens 
on both of our servers.

Microsoft's websiteadvises that I runa rebuild of 
the Recipient Update Service. What effect will this have on the users who 
are connected to these servers, over 800 users are presently 
connected?

Thanks in advance 
for any help.

Everyone is still getting emails. The problems are:
1: 
I am unable to create email boxes for new users, although their email 
addresses show up in theirAD account. When you try to send them an email 
it gets bounced back and I can not find their mailbox on the server. 

2: I 
also have a couple of deleted mailboxes that I have to reconnect to dummy users 
to check the email in them. ( People who have been let go)
My 
director has told me to run this rebuild, but I want to find out the

what happens when you do this?

2. How 
in Exch2k do you have a deleted mail box with no user? they are very much the 
same thing now, nothing like in 5.5

1. 
When I open up the new user I get the options to moveor delete the 
mailbox. This leads me to believe the mailbox was created. However it does not 
show up on the exchange sever.
2. Our 
mailboxes stay around for thirty days before they are purged. They have an 
x through the icon but I have reconnected these mailboxes before. I actually did 
a couple last week without any problems.

I don't want to break anything either. I have been around long

If I 
go to the exchange server where the mailbox was supposed to be created its not 
there. This is after 24 hours. 
When I 
open up the user's properties in AD I do see all 4 exchange 
tabs.
I see 
all the alias email addresses we create when we create a user, but I can't find 
a mailbox store
If I 
open exchange tasks on a user and move the mailbox to the other server it never 
shows up.
