Those are transaction logs.  They are a sequential record of everything
that happens in the databases.  They are purged with a full online
backup.

Read this whitepaper which explains the logs, why they are there, why
they are best kept on a different drive than the databases, and what
happens with them after a backup:

Dear List,

I have noticed that logs are getting created very rapidly in MDBDATA
folder. I checked by refreshing and each time I found new 5 MB of log.
Can someone help me in this regard, why is it behaving like this. I am
running Exchange 2000, Windows 2000 and Norton Anti Virus.

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Hi, 

I have a question of one of my users. She received a telephone number to
send an email to (looks like a mobile number) and needs to get an email
to this person, he claims he can receive emails send to that number... 
What the hell is going on? What should I tell her?

RE: Exchange LOGS

[William Lefkovics]

Well, it is only normal if a lot of activity is passing through.  It
depends on the users.  Somebody sending a big email to lots of people?

Or there might be a mail loop of some sort.  Anyone's mailbox growing
quickly?  Turn up SMTP logging and see what's going out the virtual
server perhaps.

Sorry if my first reply was too elementary.

William

RE: W2k Sp3 is out

[Richard Dann]

Not at all sloppy. The format of the download filename is:

.exe

The SP number in this case is 3 which is a post SP2 fix, there have been
post SP3 hotfixes about for a couple of months now (with the tag SP4)

Also the revision date on the copy of the article I've seen is about a year
old and does reference the SRP.

RE: POP3 and exchange 2k

[Bendall, Paul]

Is the alias of the mailbox the same as the NT userid? I seem to remember in
Exchange 5.5 having problems with POP3 if the alias and NTuserid were not
the same, in which case you had to use the username something like NT
domain\ntuserid\mailbox alias so it was always simpler to just make sure the
alias and ntuserid matched. If that does not work you could try a manual
telnet to POP3 port, 110, and use the following commands:
user ntuserid/alias
pass password of mailbox
list (this will list all the messages in the inbox, with the size in kb)

This would be more helpful in finding out where things are going wrong.

For more information refer to RFC 1939 at
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1939.txt

Paul

I had the same problem yesterday with one of my POP3 accounts - it turns
out the ISP had deactivated the account for non-usage as I was accessing
it via a broadband connection through another ISP, and not using the
email provider's dialup access.  I reactivated my account via their
webpages and all was fine.

Does the ISP have webmail access - if so try this and ensure the account
is active, and the password hasn't been changed

We use the controls in our AC units.  The room is on its own loop with 4
units running.  If the temp or humidity goes out of spec then the system
calls our facilities guys who in turn fix it or contact our on call
person
to alert them of the problem.  We over did the room by one unit, and we
doubled up the outside units.  The only single point of failure we have
is
if someone cuts the chilled water lines.  We are using all Leibert
equipment
in our computer room.  These units are also on our circuit with the

Sync'ing Outlook with a PPC

[Greg Heywood]

Hello, 

I have a problem that seems to be related to the Outlook 2000 client.

When a user sync's his PocketPC (not 2002) with it, it comes up with two
unresolved items. There is an error code:

One appointment cannot be read from Microsoft Outlook due to error 80180b04.
This item will not be synchronized with the mobile device.
Appointment {B231E451-1832-4750-A132-F263B5C99078} - Dentist
Start: 10/7/2002 3:00:00 P.M.
End: 10/7/2002 4:00:00 P.M. 



Easy enough you might think, just delete the appointments... Unfortunately
the appoinments don't exist there because they have been moved to different
days. So they were deleted anyway, and still come up when sync'ing. 

I have tried starting outlook with the /cleanfreebusy and /cleanreminders
switches, reset the iPaq (soft and hard), reestablished the partnership, but
no joy. This does seem to me like an Outlook or Exchange issue, but I am not
sure what to check next.

Client is OL2000 on W2K, back end if Exch 5.5, ActiveSync is 3.5

Any ideas?

RE: Sync'ing Outlook with a PPC

[Andy David]

Why not recreate that same appt for that time and date on the Pocket PC
itself and then resync?

Subject: Sync'ing Outlook with a PPC


Hello, 

I have a problem that seems to be related to the Outlook 2000 client.

When a user sync's his PocketPC (not 2002) with it, it comes up with two
unresolved items. There is an error code:

One appointment cannot be read from Microsoft Outlook due to error 80180b04.
This item will not be synchronized with the mobile device.
Appointment {B231E451-1832-4750-A132-F263B5C99078} - Dentist
Start: 10/7/2002 3:00:00 P.M.
End: 10/7/2002 4:00:00 P.M. 



Easy enough you might think, just delete the appointments... Unfortunately
the appoinments don't exist there because they have been moved to different
days. So they were deleted anyway, and still come up when sync'ing. 

I have tried starting outlook with the /cleanfreebusy and /cleanreminders
switches, reset the iPaq (soft and hard), reestablished the partnership, but
no joy. This does seem to me like an Outlook or Exchange issue, but I am not
sure what to check next.

Client is OL2000 on W2K, back end if Exch 5.5, ActiveSync is 3.5

Any ideas?

Didn't think it would work because the object number would be different and
it would just conflict. Will try it and see though. thanks for the

I believe front-end servers can also host mailboxes even though that

So, if I wanted to take my new front-end/back-end setup and have the
front-ends setup for routing inbound/outbound mail - I can do this via
setting up smtp virtual directories. Current setup is (2) fe's and (2)
be's with load balancing on the front-ends.  I have a virtual 
IP & Name in DNS for a single point for the NLB to the front-ends.  

Testing:  since I have my last 5.5 server handling the smtp at the
present time, can I setup the smtp virtual directories to handle some
test mail so I can ensure that email is capable of being routed
properly.  I have (2) unix box's that route all incoming email to the
smtp server for distribution and no plans to change there duties.

Anyone do this type of setup, yet...

HELP! Crazy Issue!

[LSandoval]

I have a public folder with 20 thousand accounts listed (By the way my I
have a dedicated public folder server).  When I attempt to update accounts
all was going well until I hit about 20 records that give me the following
error:

The item could not be saved to this folder.  The folder has been deleted or
moved, or you do not have permission.  Do you want to save a copy of it in
the default folder for the item.

I am the owner and I can update other records fine.  I can even open this
record and make a change however, when I hit save and close,  I get the
above record.

Yesterday I set the folder to replicate always and verified that it
replicated fine.  On another note I am getting a 1025 event that states the
following (I don't think this has to do with this issue but Hey might as
well list it here because I can't find a fix other than running isinteg on
the database.  Which is a last option for me):

An error occurred.
Function name or description of problem: EcCategorizeMessage
Error:0xf9bf

Sources: MSExchangeIS Public

Any information would be helpful as this is a live application running in
our public folder system for our Sales staff.  It is critical I fix this
with as little disruption as possible.

LaCretia Sandoval

Bulk changes to permissions

[EXTERN Hlabse Tony (Tek Systems;RBNA/CIT1)]

The users belong to different groups and the item that needs changing is
their permissions/rights on their mailbox. The environment is Exchange 5.5
running on MS Server 2000. Would like to do this via some program as opposed
to manually doing it. Have not had to do this before. Has anyone had to do
this. I am thinking LDAP export or something like that but would rather
click from a list and change/add permissions. NetIQ?

messages from unknown sender

[lh]

Hi,
  We're using Exchange 5.5, sp4 and Trend Micro virus scanning which shows
no viruses in our system.  One of our users received a message from
someone they don't know and they said she sent them a message with a
suspicious attachment.  She doesn't know this person or their email
address yet they forwarded a copy of the message she allegedly sent to
them.  It definitely had her email address but she didn't send it.  It
looked like a Klez variant (the subject was "How are you").  Any ideas on
how this happened?

Thanks.

RE: Bulk changes to permissions

[EXTERN Hlabse Tony (Tek Systems;RBNA/CIT1)]

As a contractor here they said they had to manually change a group of about
300 users back to "user" as their role under the Permissions tab when you
bring up the mailbox properties. Some how they got changed for reason they
did not explain. The users could not login. They told me they changed each
one by hand. I told them why didn't you just create a batch to do it based
on the users who couldn't login. I was told it would not work on permission
roles for individual mailboxes.

RE: IMCdata

[Jeffrey A. Beckham]

I'm thinking it MIGHT be the Internet Mail Connector data you
know... for the sending and receiving of internet mail.  I would
recommend updating to the latest version of store.exe.  You probably
have a message with an invalid header.  Hopefully the updated store will
have a fix in it.

Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story

[Tom.Gray]

This is just an informational post, you're welcome to comment on it but I'm
not really asking any questions.  Just thought folks out there getting ready
to upgrade might want to hear the story.  I just spent the night upgrading
(or trying to upgrade) my exchange 5.5 server.

We have a very simple network.  1 domain.   200 users.  1 exchange server.
2 domain controllers (not the exchange server).


Started about 2 weeks ago prepping for upgrade.  Armed with:
White Paper  "in-place upgrade from msoft exchange 5.5 to msoft
   exchange 2000" 
Q316886  "How To:  Migrate from exchange server 5.5 to exchange 
   2000 server
Q282309  "upgrading exchange server 5.5 service pack 4 to 
   exchange 2000 server"
Q295922  "considerations when you upgrade to exchange 2000 server"
Q296260  "how to configure a two-way recipient connection agreement 
   for exchange server 5.5 users"
Q253829  "description of the active directory connector 
   deletion mechanism"

And, of course, monitored this list (and the sun-exchange) one for upgrade
ideas!


Now some of the documents have conflicting information.  If you weed thru
the dates and such you can usually figure out what is really true.  For
example, the white paper states you MUST have at least one domain running in
native mode, but the HOW TO describes a scenario where all domains are in
mixed mode.

  With the domain controllers upgraded to win2k active directory (mixed
mode) last month I tackled the exchange upgrade this month.  Went thru the
white paper and how to, updating the schema  (forestprep and domainprep) and
ran all the tests listed in those docs to verify it was working.  Got
exactly the results they told me!

  First time I ran the actual upgrade got my first rude surprise.  My vendor
had shipped me the Exchange 2000 standard edition media (which doesn't
really say standard on it, just Exchange 2000) and the upgrade process
stopped immediately with "You can't go from enterprise to standard you
idiot"   
  Two days later I have the correct media.  Take the server off the network
and run an online backup (Veritas backup exec with exchange option).  Verify
the backup worked.
  With exchange services down get back on the network and run domain tests
again.  Everything ok!
  Run the upgrade!   The upgrade goes thru several processes but hangs at
"Setup failed while installing sub-component "Site Replication Service with
error code 0xC007041D" -- retry or cancel"  search MS knowledge base and
looks like a permissions issue  (Q278254 and Q273730).  Hmm, make sure the
exchange service account has all the permissions and click retry.  Still no
work.  Rats.  Getting late so time to make the $250 call to PSS!
   PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works.  They have me change the
service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to SERVICE
ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct).  Still no joy.  Try
to cancel out of that error message.  Nada.  Have to task manager/shut down
process.  They then refer me to the ultimate nightmare:  Q264309 - How to
Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000.
   Yuck.  Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr
folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all service
packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed exchsrvr folders,
setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info store.
   Restoring directory service doesn't work.  Call PSS back.  Directory
service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service.
Change to manual start and reboot. Directory restores!!!
   Restore info store.  (8 gigs).  2 hours later ready to go!  (almost)  Now
the internet mail connector isn't working.  Dawn is breaking and panic
begins to creep in.   Users will be screaming in about 2 hours.  Call PSS
again.  End up deleting the IMC and creating a new one.  They very patiently
step me through lots of good stuff, including making sure I'm not an
internet relay and that I'm not doing circular logs.  They even stand by
while I reinstall my Anti-virus for exchange.  Everything is working.  It's
now 7am and I'm back to my original pre-upgrade status from 7pm the night
before.

  Problem summary:  PSS thinks that the problem was caused by the mail
service account user not having complete permissions at the org container.
By the time this was corrected by PSS (and me) the upgrade was stuck.  They
are "pretty sure" and "reasonably confident" the upgrade will work next
time.

  Moral:  MAKE BACKUPS.  PLAN FOR EXTRA TIME.  PSS is your friend (I was on
the phone with them for about 4 hours)

This was so much fun we're planning another attempt.  This will be on a
Saturday morning so I'll have lots of time to recover (or celebrate).

RE: Bulk changes to permissions

Heh... Ok, easiest way I can think of to do it would be to export the
primary NT account info, remove them from the mailbox and then add them
again. It could also be done using ADSI.

Don't have a code sample handy to point you to though.

RE: GAL Syncing

[Jason Kane]

Rich,

There are several tools you could use but the tool that springs to mind
is the Compaq (HP) LDSU tool.  It's a command line based synchronisation
toolset.  I have used it on previous projects wher I used an Exchange
5.5 org as the directory hub for a number of disparete systems and its
exceptionally easy to use (and not too expensive either).

You can find some information on it here:

Hello,

Just an FYI, datapoint, for those that might care:

I don't touch systems that our working fine, but an apparent bug allowing OWA users to 
bring down the entire IS Service caused me to move to E2K SP3 last Thursday with MS 
PSS. 

It has been working fine for us since then (1 week), and even fixed a problem with 
SMTP Forwarded messages to Yahoo.com tending to pile up in an outbound queue 
(occurring since E2K SP2).

E2K: Native, SP2, Admin patch, Trend 6.0, Scan engine -> E2K SP3
Single Native Domain, Single Exchange Server, 1 SG, 4 Mailbox DBs, 1 PF DB

YMMV, Good Luck,

RE: GAL Syncing

[Jason Kane]

Rich,

It will work as a synch tool between any LDAP directory.  You will
obviously have to modify the output from one forest for the other so
that they are imported as contacts rather than users, but the
flexibility of LDSU will enable you to do this programatically and you
can even shedule it.  A good way to think of this tool is a cheaper and
easier solution than meta directory services.

Final stage of Ex2000 Migration

[Pennell, Ronald B.]

My last ex.5.5 server is at the stage of removing it from the site and going
purely E2K native mode.  
Question:  Is there any harm in keeping this server in the site - but no
public folders/mailboxes, etc. for a 
short period of time.  Reasoning, managers feel that we
might have to use it as a fall back...

All mailboxes, folders, etc. have been moved to new ex2000
servers and appear to be functioning
properly in a FE/BE with NLB setup.  The last item remaining
on the Ex5.5 server is the default SMTP
address points to it.  My plan is to change it across the
board for the remainder of the company and
remove the 5.5 server completely.  Management wants to keep
it up in case we need to go back.  
Go back, never go backwards... But, one user complaint about
not getting his email, spells failure to 
out young managers.  

Any thoughts... Or, follow my plan - no balls - no glory...

Ron

RE: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story

[Ryan Malayter]

I don't mean to rub salt into your wounds, but many of the gurus on this
list frequently mention the need for a lab environment, even if it
consist of only a couple of older PCs. 

Your situation could have been avoided if you restored your AD and
exchange 5.5 into a 2-PC lab environment, and performed a test upgrade
there. I was able to identify several items (mostly permissions related)
from my lab upgrade experience that needed attention before the in-place
Ex2k upgrade in my production environment.

Subject: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story



This is just an informational post, you're welcome to comment on it but
I'm
not really asking any questions.  Just thought folks out there getting
ready
to upgrade might want to hear the story.  I just spent the night
upgrading
(or trying to upgrade) my exchange 5.5 server.

We have a very simple network.  1 domain.   200 users.  1 exchange
server.
2 domain controllers (not the exchange server).


Started about 2 weeks ago prepping for upgrade.  Armed with:
White Paper  "in-place upgrade from msoft exchange 5.5 to msoft
   exchange 2000" 
Q316886  "How To:  Migrate from exchange server 5.5 to exchange 
   2000 server
Q282309  "upgrading exchange server 5.5 service pack 4 to 
   exchange 2000 server"
Q295922  "considerations when you upgrade to exchange 2000 server"
Q296260  "how to configure a two-way recipient connection agreement 
   for exchange server 5.5 users"
Q253829  "description of the active directory connector 
   deletion mechanism"

And, of course, monitored this list (and the sun-exchange) one for
upgrade
ideas!


Now some of the documents have conflicting information.  If you weed
thru
the dates and such you can usually figure out what is really true.  For
example, the white paper states you MUST have at least one domain
running in
native mode, but the HOW TO describes a scenario where all domains are
in
mixed mode.

  With the domain controllers upgraded to win2k active directory (mixed
mode) last month I tackled the exchange upgrade this month.  Went thru
the
white paper and how to, updating the schema  (forestprep and domainprep)
and
ran all the tests listed in those docs to verify it was working.  Got
exactly the results they told me!

  First time I ran the actual upgrade got my first rude surprise.  My
vendor
had shipped me the Exchange 2000 standard edition media (which doesn't
really say standard on it, just Exchange 2000) and the upgrade process
stopped immediately with "You can't go from enterprise to standard you
idiot"   
  Two days later I have the correct media.  Take the server off the
network
and run an online backup (Veritas backup exec with exchange option).
Verify
the backup worked.
  With exchange services down get back on the network and run domain
tests
again.  Everything ok!
  Run the upgrade!   The upgrade goes thru several processes but hangs
at
"Setup failed while installing sub-component "Site Replication Service
with
error code 0xC007041D" -- retry or cancel"  search MS knowledge base and
looks like a permissions issue  (Q278254 and Q273730).  Hmm, make sure
the
exchange service account has all the permissions and click retry.  Still
no
work.  Rats.  Getting late so time to make the $250 call to PSS!
   PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works.  They have me change
the
service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to
SERVICE
ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct).  Still no joy.
Try
to cancel out of that error message.  Nada.  Have to task manager/shut
down
process.  They then refer me to the ultimate nightmare:  Q264309 - How
to
Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000.
   Yuck.  Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr
folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all
service
packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed exchsrvr
folders,
setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info store.
   Restoring directory service doesn't work.  Call PSS back.  Directory
service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service.
Change to manual start and reboot. Directory restores!!!
   Restore info store.  (8 gigs).  2 hours later ready to go!  (almost)
Now
the internet mail connector isn't working.  Dawn is breaking and panic
begins to creep in.   Users will be screaming in about 2 hours.  Call
PSS
again.  End up deleting the IMC and creating a new one.  They very
patiently
step me through lots of good stuff, including making sure I'm not an
internet relay and that I'm not doing circular logs.  They even stand by
while I reinstall my Anti-virus for exchange.  Everything is working.
It's
now 7am and I'm back to my original pre-upgrade status from 7pm the
night
before.

RE: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story

[EXTERN Hlabse Tony (Tek Systems;RBNA/CIT1)]

Or why not install a new server with E2k and join the site. Then move
mailboxes. In place upgrades are plain scary if you can not test before
hand. When you do upgrade in place will all your AV and Backups work the
same way. Too much to chance I agree with Ryan.

Experts Advice needed

[joseph white]

I need to send e-mail through a Web page and the Web page needs to have
the Check Name feature that Microsoft Outlook and OWA have.  We are
running our IIS server on Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5 on a different
Windows 2000 server, but they are in the same domain.  Taking into
consideration our server situation what would be the best way of
implementing this?
CDOMail with Authenticated users or Anonymous?  Or,  can I use something
like ASPMAIL, CDONTS, JMAIL and ASPEMAIL.

Also, if your solution requires CDO, what is the best way of installing
CDO on our Windows 2000 IIS server (I.E.  Outlook 2000 or XP)?

Thanks for you help,
Joseph White

RE: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story

[MS Exchange List]

Hello,

I did in-place upgrades from Exchange Betas to E2K over the last 5+ years.  They all 
worked fine except for 5.5 to E2K.

I spent 3+ months labbing the in-place upgrade and got things seemingly to work just 
fine.  (I went Native in Win2K before doing any Exchange upgrade).  The upgrade went 
without a hitch seemingly, but we were left with strange permission problems for 
various things.  Worked with PSS for months and months afterwards, and they were at a 
loss.

If I had to do it over again, I'd setup a completely brand new Win2K Forest, and then 
a brand new E2K server in there.  There are tools out there for Exchange migrations 
across Organizations, etc...

(Actually if we had to do it over again I'd keep us at E5.5, and I'd fight to stay 
there until my retirement!)

Former in-place upgrade fan,
Brent

I agree also, we are a 40 person company and don't have the budget for a
test lab of that size no matter how much I scream. I planned an exchange
2000 migration to a new server and joined it to the existing site. Well
I have just finished and am waiting for a full backup to complete and
the work day to end to switch to Native mode for Exchange.

Now some of the documents have conflicting information.  If you weed
thru the dates and such you can usually figure out what is really true.
For example, the white paper states you MUST have at least one domain
running in native mode, but the HOW TO describes a scenario where all
domains are in mixed mode.

  With the domain controllers upgraded to win2k active directory (mixed
mode) last month I tackled the exchange upgrade this month.  Went thru
the white paper and how to, updating the schema  (forestprep and
domainprep) and ran all the tests listed in those docs to verify it was
working.  Got exactly the results they told me!

  First time I ran the actual upgrade got my first rude surprise.  My
vendor had shipped me the Exchange 2000 standard edition media (which
doesn't really say standard on it, just Exchange 2000) and the upgrade
process stopped immediately with "You can't go from enterprise to
standard you
idiot"   
  Two days later I have the correct media.  Take the server off the
network and run an online backup (Veritas backup exec with exchange
option).  Verify the backup worked.
  With exchange services down get back on the network and run domain
tests again.  Everything ok!
  Run the upgrade!   The upgrade goes thru several processes but hangs
at
"Setup failed while installing sub-component "Site Replication Service
with error code 0xC007041D" -- retry or cancel"  search MS knowledge
base and looks like a permissions issue  (Q278254 and Q273730).  Hmm,
make sure the exchange service account has all the permissions and click
retry.  Still no work.  Rats.  Getting late so time to make the $250
call to PSS!
   PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works.  They have me change
the service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to
SERVICE ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct).  Still
no joy.  Try to cancel out of that error message.  Nada.  Have to task
manager/shut down process.  They then refer me to the ultimate
nightmare:  Q264309 - How to Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange
Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000.
   Yuck.  Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr
folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all
service packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed
exchsrvr folders, setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info
store.
   Restoring directory service doesn't work.  Call PSS back.  Directory
service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service.

Rich,

It will work as a synch tool between any LDAP directory.  You will
obviously have to modify the output from one forest for the other so
that they are imported as contacts rather than users, but the
flexibility of LDSU will enable you to do this programatically and you
can even shedule it.  A good way to think of this tool is a cheaper and
easier solution than meta directory services.

Rich,

There are several tools you could use but the tool that springs to mind
is the Compaq (HP) LDSU tool.  It's a command line based synchronisation
toolset.  I have used it on previous projects wher I used an Exchange
5.5 org as the directory hub for a number of disparete systems and its
exceptionally easy to use (and not too expensive either).

You can find some information on it here:

Hello,

I did in-place upgrades from Exchange Betas to E2K over the last 5+
years.  They all worked fine except for 5.5 to E2K.

I spent 3+ months labbing the in-place upgrade and got things seemingly
to work just fine.  (I went Native in Win2K before doing any Exchange
upgrade).  The upgrade went without a hitch seemingly, but we were left
with strange permission problems for various things.  Worked with PSS
for months and months afterwards, and they were at a loss.

If I had to do it over again, I'd setup a completely brand new Win2K
Forest, and then a brand new E2K server in there.  There are tools out
there for Exchange migrations across Organizations, etc...

(Actually if we had to do it over again I'd keep us at E5.5, and I'd

Thanks for giving us your take on this, it is always good to hear both
sides of the coin. I agree the value is not high, but easier
administration was my push this. 

The OWA issue, being slow and such, I agree and I still am getting
complaints.

Told management that is how it is, and they refuse to accept it.

There's a benefit if there are any Outlook users still on vacation, or
dialing in from home infrequently, or the like, because their clients
will continue to automatically switch over to the new server.  The big
benefit to native mode comes when you have more than one administrative

Subject: Final stage of Ex2000 Migration


My last ex.5.5 server is at the stage of removing it from the site and
going purely E2K native mode.  
Question:  Is there any harm in keeping this server in the site - but no
public folders/mailboxes, etc. for a 
short period of time.  Reasoning, managers feel that we
might have to use it as a fall back...

All mailboxes, folders, etc. have been moved to new
ex2000 servers and appear to be functioning
properly in a FE/BE with NLB setup.  The last item
remaining on the Ex5.5 server is the default SMTP
address points to it.  My plan is to change it across
the board for the remainder of the company and
remove the 5.5 server completely.  Management wants to
keep it up in case we need to go back.  
Go back, never go backwards... But, one user complaint
about not getting his email, spells failure to 
out young managers.  

Any thoughts... Or, follow my plan - no balls - no
glory...

Ron

RE: IMCdata

[Ed Crowley]

It is indeed the directory where Internet mail data is temporarily
stored.  However, no data should be in the \imcdata directory, but in
its several subfolders.  If Mr. Bricher had stated which folder is
collecting the data he might have gotten a reasonable answer.  (If it's
the \imcdata\archive folder, check the FAQ for the answer.)

Mr. Beckham, your advice to update "store.exe" is way off the mark
because the information store service has nothing to do with that
directory.

I'm thinking it MIGHT be the Internet Mail Connector data you
know... for the sending and receiving of internet mail.  I would
recommend updating to the latest version of store.exe.  You probably
have a message with an invalid header.  Hopefully the updated store will
have a fix in it.

Hi,
  We're using Exchange 5.5, sp4 and Trend Micro virus scanning which
shows no viruses in our system.  One of our users received a message
from someone they don't know and they said she sent them a message with
a suspicious attachment.  She doesn't know this person or their email
address yet they forwarded a copy of the message she allegedly sent to
them.  It definitely had her email address but she didn't send it.  It
looked like a Klez variant (the subject was "How are you").  Any ideas
on how this happened?

Thanks.

RE: Front-end Servers

[Ed Crowley]

Benefits to a front-end server include:
- offloading processing of SSL
- makes firewall configuration easier when you have multiple mailbox
servers since a front-end server keeps the HTTP, POP or IMAP session
rather than redirecting it to a mailbox server
- pretty much required for doing load balancing of those protocols
- allows you to move a mailbox between servers without having to
reconfigure POP and IMAP clients

So, if I wanted to take my new front-end/back-end setup and have the

setting up smtp virtual directories. Current setup is (2) fe's and (2)

Testing:  since I have my last 5.5 server handling the smtp at the

Anyone do this type of setup, yet...

Most importantly, here, is the fact that OOO can cause looping.  Not
necessarily by the OOO itself with the current version of Exchange, but
most likely by some type of rule the User has set up.  About 4 years
ago, at a company in Richmond, VA, I was involved in a major OOO loop.
Filled up the data drive and shutdown the services.  This was when
Exchange OOO every message, even if it had already sent an OOO to that

EQUIINET CALLS FOR RETHINK ON E-MAIL SIGNATURES TO AVOID
INTERNET 
CRIME RISK
24th June 2002
British companies were today warned by Equiinet to review
their 
e-mail policies to avoid their employees being placed at
risk from 
criminals using e-mail signature messages to obtain personal

details.
Automatic response messages are used to inform anyone
e-mailing a 
specific e-mail address that the person they are trying to
reach is 
unable to respond. But many people, particularly during the
busy 
summer holiday season, create automatic messages that say
they will 
not be back in the office until a certain date, allowing
people to 
conclude they are probably away on holiday. The 'away from'
e-mail 
messages are typically sent indiscriminately the first time
an 
e-mail is received.
Swindon-based Equiinet, the leading supplier of multi
functional 
server appliances, decided not to introduce automated e-mail

response as a product feature because of the danger of
individual 
employees exposing themselves or their employer to risk when
setting 
up the messages.
Criminals have been known to exploit this system by
purchasing spam 
e-mail lists with which to send a test message to millions
of 
recipients. They then identify those people who are away and
look up 
their probable - or in some cases exact - home addresses
using a 
simple online directory such as those at www.192.com or
www.btcom. 
The technique even allows wily burglars to guess the
potential value 
of goods at an address according to a person's job title,
which is 
often included in e-mail signatures in accordance with
corporate 
policy.
"This is the on-line equivalent of not cancelling the milk,"
said 
Bob Jones, Equiinet's managing director. "It's on a par with

advertising in a newspaper that you are on holiday in the
full 
knowledge that anyone can easily find out your address."
Jones said companies should review their e-mail policies so
that 
employees cannot specify that they are away, or use software
that 
blocks such messages being sent to untrusted sources.
"This Internet loophole makes it possible for even
unsophisticated 
criminals within 60 seconds to discover a home address of
someone 
who is away on holiday," he added.
"With the main holiday season almost upon us, British
companies must 
act now to clamp down on this out of responsibility to their
staff."

When I switched to using a new smtp address for ex2000 mailbox, I
started getting a couple of DNRs with 
553 5.3.5 system config error as it appears that when my address is
expanded it appends another .org to the end of my smtp address.  .

ie ex2000.ida.org.org config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem)
553 5.3.5 Followed by 554 5.3.5 Local config error..

It doesn't happen to all email from the outside, but, just a few...
Nothing has changed with the MX records on my end, 
ex2000.ida.org is the virtual directory name for my FE's to use with
NLB.

Any Ideas?

Aloha,

We have just installed an Exchange 2K server. We are using Outlook 2K
and Windows 2K. We are not using Exchange for email at this time
(Lng story - please no flames - our managers want shared
contacts/calendars right away and want to wait to convert our email -
gr). We use Outlook to read our 'Internet email' off of our UNIX
Post.Office server. The problem is that Outlook issues the 'retrieve' to
POP3 and immediately gets the email, it then issues the 'delete' to
remove the mail from the server. THEN Outlook waits at least 5 to 10
seconds to issue the next 'retrieve' command (we sniffed the POP3
server). This is generally no big deal except that when a user exits
Outlook to go on vacation or home or whatever, and queues up a large
number of emails, it takes a very long time to completely read all their
mail. I suggested to wait until we go to Exchange email but the bosses
want it fixed now. I could not find anything in the FAQ, KDB, etc that
matched the problem. There is one question that talks about TCP/IP
issues but that has been ruled out here.

Any ideas - and I already know that we should be on Exchange mail but
that is not an option yet.


Thanks in advance,

Don Couch


PS - another oddity - I sent this message three different times before
this send. All three times I told it to go plain text - all three times
it was rejected by the list as being stylized text or HTML - I bcc'd it
to a co-worker and it showed up as HTML - what gives?

I sent the other three when my Outlook settings were set to out all
received mail in the 'mailbox'. I sent this message with the settings
set to receive mail into the 'personal folder'. Odd

Subject: Trying to setup a Public Folder to receive Email


Mark,

I am having great difficulties in getting the following to work:

I am trying to setup a Public Folder to receive Email (sounds easy but
it displays an error).

The error is:
XADM: Mail to Public Folder Results in Non-Delivery Report (NDR) 5.2.1
The information in this article applies to: 
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
SYMPTOMS
When a user who is a member of certain groups in your Microsoft Exchange
Server organization tries to send e-mail messages to a public folder,
that same user may receive a non-delivery report (NDR) similar to the
following:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. 
Subject: 
Sent:  2:26 PM
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
Change Control Requests on  2:26 PM
The message reached the recipient's e-mail system, but delivery was
refused. Attempt to resend the message. If it still fails, contact your
system administrator.

< #5.2.1> However, the same users can successfully post the message to
the public folder.

Additionally, if you add that user account individually, as a
contributor to the public folder, that same user can successfully send
the e-mail message to that public folder. CAUSE This issue may occur if
the Exchange Enterprise Servers security group lacks the correct
permissions for the group in which the affected user is a members.

The 5.2.1 NDR is related to permissions issues. The Exchange Enterprise
Servers group must have at least Read permissions in every group of
which the user is a member. Additionally, the Exchange Enterprise
Servers group must have at least Read permissions in the groups of which
those groups are members.

When an Exchange Server user sends an e-mail message to a public folder,
Exchange 2000 Server performs a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) query for every group of which that user is a member (and, for
every group of which that particular group is a member). By default, the
Exchange Enterprise Servers group has permissions at the domain root,
which allow access to all objects. If any of these groups is not found,
typically because Exchange Enterprise Servers group lacks correct access
permissions, e-mail messages sent to the public folder from that user
will be returned with a 5.2.1 NDR. RESOLUTION To resolve this issue,
verify that the Exchange Enterprise Servers group has at least Read
permissions to all groups of which the affected user accounts are
members, and also to the groups of which these groups are members.

I cannot seem to get my head around the resolution, please can anyone
enlighten me. Thanks. Tony

Hi all. Apologies if this question has already been addressed. I am
running Exchange 5.5 with OWA/NT.4 Server and Outlook 2000. What I am
trying to do is create a calendar for a senior manager which is then
published to the public folder and fully synchronized so that if an
entry is made in his local calendar folder within his mailbox,  it is
subsequently reflected on this public calendar so that other deputy
managers can keep track of his movements.

To try and achieve this I have created a test account, logged on to
outlook as that user, copied his calendar to subfolder under public
folder. At this point I am assuming this published copy of the calendar
would be fully synched with this users local calendar. I then made some
entries into the user's local calendar. The thing is these entries don't
appear in the other published calendar in public folders. Any idea?
Many thanks in advance.

Mustafa

Hi,

Scenario:

"BOX1" Win2K Adv Server Active Directory Master/Global Server (only AD
server currently in the configuration) "BOX2" Win2K Adv Server with
Exchange Server 2000 Gold (e.g. no SP's yet). Both Dell PowerEdge, both
Windows SP-2, Exchange SP-2

Both systems are on the domain, both are unrestricted (not yet being
used, this is a test setup).

I can install Exchange 2000 without any problems from the original
install CD - upon completion I reboot the server, and none of the
exchange services will start - the system attendant won't start, and
obviously as they all depend on it, everything else fails too.

The errors I receive are:

ID 1002 / MSExchangeMU / Metabase Agent failed to start. Error code is
80040a01 ID 9004 / MSExchangeSA / The metabase Update service failed to
start, error '8004a01' ID 1005 / MSExchangeSA / Unexpected Error
occurred. An unknown error has occurred.

I've had a search around the knowledge base and tried some suggestions,
so far no luck.

Has anyone any ideas or suggestions to point me in the right
direction... I'm guessing it's something I've overlooked, I just can't
see what.

Any help wuld be appreciated.

Cheers
Vince
