Subject: Exchange 5.5 recovery


Hi All
I need some help with the following problem
I have a client that had a total crash (we came in after the crash) of his
server and has lost all of his exchange. There is only one item that this
client requires and that is a public folder with all of his contact details
for a news letter (2000 - 3000 Contacts).
We managed to recover a copy of the priv.edb, pub.edb and dir.edb and build
a new server with the old site name and organisation.
we then ran eseutil and isinteg -patch and all seems to be OK
The system attendant and the directory service started.(a good start)
The problem is that when we run up the other services we get Event 9994 and
error 2186 (both relate to logon issue) which is the service account and
password are incorrect. We have changed the account to services and also to
admin but to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get this information back
Thanks

Just got off the phone with Trend. I noticed .bat files were not being
blocked even though they were on my list of attachments to block by file
extension. Trend indicates that blocking by file extension interprets by
"true file type," meaning a .bat is a .txt file! The fix is to put in the
"Attachments with specified file names:" entries like *.bat, *.scr, *.vbs,
etc. I added almost my entire list minus a few like gif, jpg, mov, etc that
being blocked correctly now.

Subject: unread mail marked read by itself ?


Is this possible? Several members of the firm that I am consulting for claim
to have had this problem. They came in one morning several days ago and to
their surprise, mail that they NEVER read was marked as being read by
outlook. The firm is running  Exchange 5.5 with outlook as a client .

Some possibilities are: 1.)something happened to the internal database that
caused this error.2.) Someone within the company tampered with the mail and
read their mail, thus marking it as read. 3.) Perhaps their backup system
had something to do with it. They are doing brick level back ups using
Veritas 8.5.


#3 does not seem like an option since only two people, albeit high level IT
people, were affected. This also NEVER happened before.


Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Yahoo! and Exchange

2002-01-28 Thread Chris Scharff

Well, knowing less than nothing about Yahoo!'s mail server config, if they
allow it, you ought to be able to configure your mail server to forward all
messages to a host and enter the IP address of the Yahoo! mail server
(although I don't see why you couldn't just deliver those messages using
DNS). As for retrieving mail, you'd need a POP3 connector (yuck) to retrieve
the mail from the POP3 mailboxes or for Yahoo! to provide ETRN (YFR).

You can set up your server as the Mx record, even with with a dynamic IP
address. EasyDNS provides DynamicDNS services which will allow you to
automagically update the IP address of your Mx record whenever it changes
with the use of a small utility running on the Exchange server. 

www.swinc.com has a nice SMTP FAQ which might be of help as well in their
resources section.

mail is served by Yahoo! as well.  I want to begin the process of running my
own mail server.  I have an E2K server with a private IP address sitting
behind a router with a dynamic public IP address.  I want to setup my
Exchange server to send and retrieve messages through the Yahoo! mail
server.  I'm not yet ready to point the MX records to my server, especially
not while I have a Dynamic IP.  Anyone have an idea how to make this work?

RE: Fix from Trend for Exchange 2000 Attachment blocking

2002-01-28 Thread Whitlock, Teresa

Forgive me if this has already been covered as I just started with this list
today, but does this fix work for files that are sent with double
extensions, such as; *.txt.scr?

Just to be clear, you need to include both the attachment extensions and
names.  The attachment blocking settings should look like:

[ ] All attachments
[x] Specified attachments
  Attachments with specified extensions:
 ade;adp;bas;.
  Attachments with specified names:
 *.ade;*.adp;*.bas;.

Just got off the phone with Trend. I noticed .bat files were not being
blocked even though they were on my list of attachments to block by file
extension. Trend indicates that blocking by file extension interprets by
"true file type," meaning a .bat is a .txt file! The fix is to put in the
"Attachments with specified file names:" entries like *.bat, *.scr, *.vbs,
etc. I added almost my entire list minus a few like gif, jpg, mov, etc that
being blocked correctly now.

Exchange 2000 SP2 on Windows 2000 SP2
Scan engine version is: 5.630-1025
Pattern is 207
All Product version are: 6.00

Here are my entries:

Hi

For on project where the licensing of MS make the use of Ex 2000 not
possible, I must go with another messaging platform

It's may be not the right place but i'm sure you can help me

What do you think of iMail ? stable ?  it has a web interface for eMail and
calendering.

It's for an ASP project where external user would get their eMAil and
calendar.

How to setup multiple E2k Servers? -- Bounced Messages

2002-01-28 Thread Terry Lee

My org recently migrated from a 2-site, 1 Exchange 5.5 Org to E2K w/TWO exchange 
servers that are in 2 physical locations.

Previously, I had 1 E55 server that had the single Internet Mail Server while the 2nd 
server got mail replicated to it.

Now, we have the 2 E2k servers w/2 SMTP virtual servers w/1 SMTP connector.  We can 
send mail externally from both servers and receive external email but we cannot send 
mail to each other.  We're getting bouncing mail between two servers.

Can someone help with this...I'm not sure if I need a routing group or my bridgehead 
servers are wrong or what.

NOTE:  The servers are physically separated by routers but they serve the same domain, 
example:  abc.com

Any clues?

Terry

RE: Alert: W32/Myparty-mm on the loose

2002-01-28 Thread Kemppel, Charlean

According to the Sybari tech, "Either one should work.  *.*.* would be for
any double extension or more
extensions while the *.*.com would be for double extensions ending in
.com."I agree that this is an issue, the *.com file filter gives one a
false sense of security that anything ending in .com will be filtered.
Sybari's website doesn't suggest using the *.*.extension approach  either
http://www.sybari.com/alerts/filter.asp?year=2002 .  I'm continuing to push

For what it's worth, MailSweeper for SMTP just looks at the last extension
-- it's caught two copies of MyParty so far here without any difficulty.

2002-01-28 Thread Harmon, Josh

I was thinking that might be the problem... BUT

Would that take care of *.*.*.*.com files?  If that's really the issue, this
is something that Sybari needs to address from a coding standpoint in my
opinion.  *.com should kill anything that ends in *.com.  Or is it up to me
to guess how many 'dot' separators the next virus will use?

Errors seen on Exchange Server and SMTP server :

Any ideas to solve this problem ?

Currently the dll file is disabled, so we can receive mail.

Fortunately we're all blocking *.com right? The *.com viruses are going to
take forever to combat from a social engineering standpoint. It's probably
worth investing some time in user education on .com files because I think
this is going to be a new favorite virus writing style for the next few
months.

Be aware that this morning you will likely find a copy of this new mass
mailer in your mail systems. This is a pure social engineering attack, it
contains an attachment named as a URL with a .com extension. Since .com is
also an application, it will be run as such if its double-clicked on. Check
with your AV company for updates and/or filtering criteria. If you can, be
sure you have attachment filtering enabled at your mail gateway. Outlook
Email Security Update, and Outlook 2002, both catch this attachment and

Exchange 2000 in place upgrade

2002-01-28 Thread Harmon, Josh

Hey all:

I've been peppering the list with some Exchange 2000 in place upgrade
questions and have just a couple more.  I've been testing an upgrade of a 4
Ex 5.5 server environment using an in place upgrade.  It was finally decided
this was the way to go because it actually appears to lessen user impact in
our environment (About 10,000 Faculty/Staff/students using a client mix from
POP3, IMAP, MAPI, to OWA).

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else has done the upgrade in production and
specifically--if you waited for the background "database upgrade" to finish
before you 1) applied a service pack--we will be applying sp2 and 2) waited
for the background upgrade process to finish before you ran an online
backup.

I've tested this multiple times in our test environment and so far and it
looks like it works well--patching  to sp2 shortly after the post ex2k
upgrade reboot, and after sp2 is finished running the backups.  During the
backup, the disks go crazy for about an hour (on a 60 gig database), but the
log files stop growing after an hour (and a gig of logs) and then it flies
right along...  I just can't imagine waiting to do the backup for very long,
though.  We plan on upgrading all four servers in a weekend so our schedule
is fairly tight.

Which bring up my next questions.  I've been told that both the initial
database upgrade that takes place during the setup and the post setup
background upgrade take a very long time.  In fact one article said the
"manual portion" of the upgrade takes on average 9 gig an hour.  We have
fairly decent test and production hardware and the longest I've seen is
about 1.5 hours for a 60 gig information store.   Are they including single
disk ATA configurations/ in this 9 gig/hr average?  I imagine so, but that
certainly skews the data.

It's available in its entirety at netlibrary.com.  I don't know if your

Heya folks,

Is there an electronic version of the Exchange 5.5 book, written by Paul
Robichaux, titled "Managing Microsoft Exchange Server", published by
O'Reilly Press?  It would be a lot easier to cut and paste sections of
Paul's book into the "Documentation" section of my Change Request Form,
than it would be to type it all in manually.

Sounds like Trend is able to keep up with NAI ;)

We have been using WebShield SMTP and it has not been fooled. We block
everything executable under the sun since the creation of the sun. We are
blocking at a rate of 2-3 a minute; first with content filtering and lately
with the Extra.dat file that they supplied for both versions.

RE: Public Folders inaccessible

2002-01-28 Thread Bob Andrews

Problem resolved.  An entry in the HOSTS file was causing
some users to point to folders on the old server.  Other
users on the same machines were not having the problem, so 
we never suspected a HOSTS issue.  HOSTS should never come
into the equation, but that's a problem for another day.

Re: Electronic Version of Robichaux's Ex5.5 book?

2002-01-28 Thread William Lefkovics

A chapter or two is available at the O'Reilly site and the Microsoft site
(chapter 9 I think).

But I have not seen one available.  And, yes, I have a copy of the book.

You might ask Paul himself.

RE: Alert: W32/Myparty-mm on the loose

2002-01-28 Thread Saul

After updating the Virus Definition files Antigen reported it as;

Antigen for Exchange found www.myparty.yahoo.com infected with
W32/MyParty-A (Sophos,McAfee4,CA(InoculateIT),CA(Vet)) worm. The message
is currently Purged.  The message, "new photos from my party!", was sent
from user and was discovered in user\Outbox located at Company/First
Administrative Group/Exchange Server.

But before the update, the *.com filter didn't work.  Wierd!

Electronic Version of Robichaux's Ex5.5 book?

2002-01-28 Thread Blunt, James H (Jim)

Heya folks,

Is there an electronic version of the Exchange 5.5 book, written by Paul
Robichaux, titled "Managing Microsoft Exchange Server", published by
O'Reilly Press?  It would be a lot easier to cut and paste sections of
Paul's book into the "Documentation" section of my Change Request Form, than
it would be to type it all in manually.

TIA

This one slipped by our *.com file matching as well... actually it's been a
little hit and miss... some were caught but others were not stopped until we
installed the defnition file--We're running Antigen with the Norman def.
I'm still seeing weird stuff some seem to be getting through he IMC scan
and making it to the store and getting disinfected there.  That's the first
time I've ever seen that.  Very odd indeed.  Most that are being caught are
by the virus definition--because generally we just get the *.com type block
message.  Wonder what's going on here.

Fortunately we run something different on the desktop--and it had updated
through the night.

The official recommendation ...

According to this, you may only need as little as 10MB to free up the

Users shouldn't be connected to the server while their mailboxes are
being moved, nor can mailboxes accept mail while they are being moved
(assuming your using the mailbox tool).

1 GB question - done this myself and works great ... freeing up a few
hundred MB does get the store back up quickly, although I've never see
this on a best practices list.  Quicker than moving the logs to another
drive.

EX4.4 sp4

say, server Gateway (IMC connector only), server A and server B

During move mailbox from A to B arrived a incoming mail (smtp to
Gateway) for the mailbox on the move.
server A sent back a reply Your message ... did not reach the following
recipient(s):

The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=us;a= ;p=<...>

 MSEXCH:MSExchangeMTA::

Is this normal ? During move mailbox incoming external mail is rejected
? I could not find any reference to this in technet (well, searched only
for a couple of minutes to be honest, found nothing related).

Similary, I was looking exactly when a services will shut down for no
more space available (now you know why I'm moving mailboxes :), the only
thing I found was several references (EX 5.5 Server Guide, Administering
and Maintaining, the Disaster Recovery White paper and similar) to
res1.log and res2.log. Those are 5MB each and are used as last resort
when the disk is full - does this mean services shut down really at the
last moment (new page can't be allocated) ?
Somehow I always thought it would shutdown with some % of disk space
still available.

If the services do shutdown when the store partition is really full
could it be considered a good practice creating a 1GB (or something)

RE: Alert: W32/Myparty-mm on the loose

John, you are ever the optimist.  Now don't get me started on that little
three-letter-acronym networking company based in Dallas again  the one
where the CEO and the CIO each launched LoveLetter and Melissa multiple

One would think (and since it's Monday, that may be a hard thing for some),
that with all the recent press coverage on mail-enabled viri (let's not get
into a semantics fight), that mail administrators, network security workers,
management and all the other yahoos involved in a private enterprise or
commercial e-mail service would PUT SOME VIRUS PROTECTION ON THEIR MAIL

I don't know how many "MyParty" attachments were cleaned up before Nemex
kicked in and picked up it's new update this morning, but I've been getting
alerts, for this particular bug, at about 45 per hour since this morning.

HELLO! IS ANYONE OUT THERE LISTENING?!

RE: Move mailbox = can't reveive ?

2002-01-28 Thread Jim Brady

Users shouldn't be connected to the server while their mailboxes are
being moved, nor can mailboxes accept mail while they are being moved
(assuming your using the mailbox tool).

1 GB question - done this myself and works great ... freeing up a few
hundred MB does get the store back up quickly, although I've never see
this on a best practices list.  Quicker than moving the logs to another
drive.

EX4.4 sp4

say, server Gateway (IMC connector only), server A and server B

During move mailbox from A to B arrived a incoming mail (smtp to
Gateway) for the mailbox on the move.
server A sent back a reply Your message ... did not reach the following

Is this normal ? During move mailbox incoming external mail is rejected
? I could not find any reference to this in technet (well, searched only
for a couple of minutes to be honest, found nothing related).

Similary, I was looking exactly when a services will shut down for no
more space available (now you know why I'm moving mailboxes :), the only
thing I found was several references (EX 5.5 Server Guide, Administering
and Maintaining, the Disaster Recovery White paper and similar) to
res1.log and res2.log. Those are 5MB each and are used as last resort
when the disk is full - does this mean services shut down really at the
last moment (new page can't be allocated) ?
Somehow I always thought it would shutdown with some % of disk space
still available.

If the services do shutdown when the store partition is really full
could it be considered a good practice creating a 1GB (or something)
file, which can be deleted in order to create space as last resort...
say, to restart services and move somewhere else some mailboxes or
public folders ?
Then decide if to spank the users who eat space like peanuts or the
managers who want won't allow space limits, in order to use the
"infinite resources" approach for supposedly faster development but
won't fund the same infinite (or at least sufficent) approach to server

You go the right answer twice (it's the preview pane or tri-pane viewer).  

One small data addition.  The time delay on the reader changing the flag

They have the preview pane turned on and left their clients up. Mail comes

PFs were rehomed, but perhaps something went wrong there.  They look OK.
We're finding that we can create new Outlook profiles for new users on the

for
old users.  We've done screen dumps of the registry settings for a new

BTW, we'd decommission old servers with a BFH, but are required to

Re: unread mail marked read by itself ?????

They have the preview pane turned on and left their clients up. Mail comes
in, preview pane "reads" it, it times out (default is five seconds I
believe) and the message is marked read.

Close, but not quite. "POS McAfee" has had a signature via an EXTRA.DAT for
it since Sunday night. What they are saying is that it will not be
incorporated into the normal DAT signature (which comes out on Wednesdays)
until it has been fully tested.

Regardless of whether they have it incorporated or not, we are not letting

Fortunately we're all blocking *.com right? The *.com viruses are going to
take forever to combat from a social engineering standpoint. It's probably
worth investing some time in user education on .com files because I think
this is going to be a new favorite virus writing style for the next few

Be aware that this morning you will likely find a copy of this new mass
mailer in your mail systems. This is a pure social engineering attack, it
contains an attachment named as a URL with a .com extension. Since .com is
also an application, it will be run as such if its double-clicked on. Check
with your AV company for updates and/or filtering criteria. If you can, be
sure you have attachment filtering enabled at your mail gateway. Outlook
Email Security Update, and Outlook 2002, both catch this attachment and

Close, but not quite. "POS McAfee" has had a signature via an EXTRA.DAT for
it since Sunday night. What they are saying is that it will not be
incorporated into the normal DAT signature (which comes out on Wednesdays)
until it has been fully tested.

Regardless of whether they have it incorporated or not, we are not letting
executables such as .exe, com, bat, etc. are we?

First do no harm. :)

Somehow this one slipped past our .com filter on our linux firewall. NAV for
exchange caught it by the .COM extension, and norton had just liveupdated us
an hour earlier with the new definitions that would have caught it if it
wasn't a blocked extension.  I think the syntax of the attachment code is

Fortunately we're all blocking *.com right? The *.com viruses are going to
take forever to combat from a social engineering standpoint. It's probably
worth investing some time in user education on .com files because I think
this is going to be a new favorite virus writing style for the next few

Be aware that this morning you will likely find a copy of this new mass
mailer in your mail systems. This is a pure social engineering attack, it
contains an attachment named as a URL with a .com extension. Since .com is
also an application, it will be run as such if its double-clicked on. Check
with your AV company for updates and/or filtering criteria. If you can, be
sure you have attachment filtering enabled at your mail gateway. Outlook
Email Security Update, and Outlook 2002, both catch this attachment and
prevent it from being available for the user to click on.

Is this possible? Several members of the firm that I am consulting for claim
to have had this problem. They came in one morning several days ago and to
their surprise, mail that they NEVER read was marked as being read by
outlook. The firm is running  Exchange 5.5 with outlook as a client .

Some possibilities are: 1.)something happened to the internal database that
caused this error.2.) Someone within the company tampered with the mail and
read their mail, thus marking it as read. 3.) Perhaps their backup system
had something to do with it. They are doing brick level back ups using
Veritas 8.5.


#3 does not seem like an option since only two people, albeit high level IT
people, were affected. This also NEVER happened before.


Any help would be appreciated.

Veritas 8.5.


#3 does not seem like an option since only two people, albeit high level IT
people, were affected. This also NEVER happened before.


Any help would be appreciated.

#2 is the likely suspect. Just check your logs to see who is accessing the

Is this possible? Several members of the firm that I am consulting for claim
to have had this problem. They came in one morning several days ago and to
their surprise, mail that they NEVER read was marked as being read by
outlook. The firm is running  Exchange 5.5 with outlook as a client .

Some possibilities are: 1.)something happened to the internal database that
caused this error.2.) Someone within the company tampered with the mail and
read their mail, thus marking it as read. 3.) Perhaps their backup system

It is also possible that the users themselves do it without knowing. Another
possibility is that if they have a delegate, the delegate might have had
their Inbox open in a separate window.  Since these two people are higher up
in the company it is quite possible that they have a number of delegates
that manage their calendar, and maybe even respond to their messages.

No, someone would just need to open the mailbox, and click on a message,
read it in the preview pane, and go on to the next.
Check the event logs it will log anyone accessing a mailbox who is not the
owner.
If the logs are mysteriously gone, you definitely have a problem.

RE: Any way to change items in IMS queue

2002-01-28 Thread Arch Willingham

Daniel:

Good idea! It worked...sort of. If I stop and restart the IMS service, it
now gives me an error saying:

The Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service service terminated
unexpectedly.  It has done this 8 time(s).  The following corrective action
will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No action. 

I scooted all of the messages over to a temp directory and re-started it. It
started fine. I stopped it and moved a few at a time and re-started it. A
couple of the messages are causing the problem - any idea why?

Ouch...

1. A search-and-replace utility. Run it against the \exchsrvr\imcdata\out
directory and replace all instances of 1.2.3.4 with a name. That name will
exist in the HOSTS files mapping to the correct IP.
2. Set the IMS to accept messages for 1.2.3.4 and redirect to the correct
name or correct IP. Move those messages out of the \out folder and into the
\in folder.

Subject: unread mail marked read by itself ?


Is this possible? Several members of the firm that I am consulting for claim
to have had this problem. They came in one morning several days ago and to
their surprise, mail that they NEVER read was marked as being read by
outlook. The firm is running  Exchange 5.5 with outlook as a client .

Some possibilities are: 1.)something happened to the internal database that
caused this error.2.) Someone within the company tampered with the mail and
read their mail, thus marking it as read. 3.) Perhaps their backup system
had something to do with it. They are doing brick level back ups using
Veritas 8.5.


#3 does not seem like an option since only two people, albeit high level IT
people, were affected. This also NEVER happened before.


Any help would be appreciated.

Fortunately we're all blocking *.com right? The *.com viruses are going to
take forever to combat from a social engineering standpoint. It's probably
worth investing some time in user education on .com files because I think
this is going to be a new favorite virus writing style for the next few

Be aware that this morning you will likely find a copy of this new mass
mailer in your mail systems. This is a pure social engineering attack, it
contains an attachment named as a URL with a .com extension. Since .com is
also an application, it will be run as such if its double-clicked on. Check
with your AV company for updates and/or filtering criteria. If you can, be
sure you have attachment filtering enabled at your mail gateway. Outlook

I would guess someone is reading their email. They probably have OL set to
mark as read when selection changes.

Be aware that this morning you will likely find a copy of this new mass
mailer in your mail systems. This is a pure social engineering attack,
it
contains an attachment named as a URL with a .com extension. Since .com
is
also an application, it will be run as such if its double-clicked on.
Check
with your AV company for updates and/or filtering criteria. If you can,
be
sure you have attachment filtering enabled at your mail gateway. Outlook
Email Security Update, and Outlook 2002, both catch this attachment and
prevent it from being available for the user to click on.
