It is a competing product.  There are lots of them.
SuSE Linux is a pretty good distribution.  It has been around awhile.

Oracle9i is pretty good...

It doesn't even have to be after moving lots of mailboxes.
Taking your server offline for this is totally unnecessary as a
maintenance step.

Does anyone perform regular offline defrags of your Exchange 2000
database(s)? I've heard/read conflicting reports about this; I know
people that like to do it on a quarterly basis, and I also know people
that say it should only performed after a large amount of mailbox moves
or deletions.

I could swear that I've seen an MS Q article that said not to perform
offline defrags just for the sake of doing it, to only do it after a
large amount of moves or deletions, but for the life of me I can't find
that article now. Does anyone know the article I'm talking about, or
have links to any other resources that discuss this topic?

RE: Why is this coming up???

2002-10-26 Thread Daniel Chenault
An understanding of how SMTP works would tell you that the machine
responsible for receiving mail for vtext.com (208.220.171.140) claims to
have a problem with the sender's address. 99.9% of the time this is because
the pointer record for your mail outbound mail server is not resolved by the
receiving machine.

Don't think one should talk about exchange replacements. Without looking 
at the page I bet it's a product running on Linux. Also.. there are other, 
competing products which provide almost the same functionality as Exchange 
does.

If you're looking for a Linux based replacement for M$ products including 
Exchange then you might want to search for bill's server. Not sure if it 
can replace M$ Exchange completely. Downloaded it some time ago.. still 
have to install it..

Have fun,

RE: Exchange a little slow but not for everyone

2002-10-26 Thread Andrey Fyodorov
To be more correct, the server does not really push either. The server sends a UDP 
frame to the client telling it that it's time to refresh the view and show a new 
message.

But they still call this process polling.

In fact if Outlook is behind a firewall that blocks UDP frames, Outlook will never 
receive a new message notification from the server and will never refresh its view.
For these occasions, there is an article on MS support website that describes how to 
adjust Outlook's polling intervals so that it would not even have to wait for the 
server's new mail notification UDP frame.

RE: Outlook startup - fast when profile is new, slow after that

2002-10-26 Thread Andrey Fyodorov
Let me get back to you on WINS. I will test a few things on Monday in that respect.

However, I am using HOSTS file on both clients to resolve the Exchange server's IP 
address.
Client #1 connects immediately when creating new profile and checking the mailbox 
name. All subsequent connections are slow.
Client #2 always connects fast.

Both clients have Outlook 2000 but different builds. Client #1 has all the latest 
Outlook upgrades.

I can see that Client #1 caches the Exchange server's name in the registry as if it 
were a domain controller (key dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182).
Client #2 does not cache the Exchange server's name in this key.

So I thought that this was a problem with different builds of Outlook 2000.

I did not check to see if WINS client was enabled on both machines. To think of it, it 
is most likely enabled on Client #1, I will need to check on Monday.

Maybe you are right, maybe WINS is interfering with name resolution on Client #1.

   Thanks!

Subject: Outlook startup - fast when profile is new, slow after that


Hi all.

I am chasing something that is causing Outlook to perform poorly. Can't
quite figure it out.

The environment:
Exchange 2000 server. Outlook 2000.
AD Domain controllers are not accessible to the clients, only the
Exchange server can talk to the domain controllers. Exchange server is
configured to not use RFR, all Outlooks are forced to use NSPI proxy.
All the client PCs have an entry in their HOSTS file for the name and IP
address of the Exchange server.

When I create an Outlook profile from scratch and use it for the first
time, Outlook starts immediately. However all the subsequent start-ups
are slow. I always get a pop-up saying that the Exchange server is not
available, Retry or Work offline. After I hit Retry, it connects fine.

I have noticed that after the first connection, a key is created in the
registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging

And it has string value 001e6602=exchange_server_name



Now I have another PC with an earlier version of Outlook 2000 installed
on it. That PC does not experience such problems. It always connects on
the first try. I also noticed that the dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182
key exists on that PC but does not have any values.


Is this an Outlook problem?

Thanks!

I have done this for incoming mail, but I do not know any way to do this for

not 100% sure.

 Subject:  Automatic Rules ?
 
 Hi there,
 I've had a look through the archives, but can't find anything 
 relevant.
 
 I'd like to apply a rule on all outgoing and incoming email for our 
 sales force which copies any mail sent to [anyuser]@[specific domain] 
 into a public folder for client communications. I thought that a 
 server or client based rule would be a good way to go about
 this, but I can't find any information relating to creating rules for
 users
 without going in and manually setting them up.
 
 Can anyone come up with some suggestions ?
 
 Thanks,
 Simon

Thanks everyone.  I will look into all three areas.
I send to three different web enabled phones and of the three this is the

RE: Outlook startup - fast when profile is new, slow after that

2002-10-26 Thread Ed Crowley
Are both clients also using LMHOSTS files then?  Make one and see what
happens.  But fixing DNS and WINS is better.

Subject: RE: Outlook startup - fast when profile is new, slow after that


Let me get back to you on WINS. I will test a few things on Monday in
that respect.

However, I am using HOSTS file on both clients to resolve the Exchange
server's IP address. Client #1 connects immediately when creating new
profile and checking the mailbox name. All subsequent connections are
slow. Client #2 always connects fast.

Both clients have Outlook 2000 but different builds. Client #1 has all
the latest Outlook upgrades.

I can see that Client #1 caches the Exchange server's name in the
registry as if it were a domain controller (key
dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182).
Client #2 does not cache the Exchange server's name in this key.

So I thought that this was a problem with different builds of Outlook
2000.

I did not check to see if WINS client was enabled on both machines. To
think of it, it is most likely enabled on Client #1, I will need to
check on Monday.

Maybe you are right, maybe WINS is interfering with name resolution on
Client #1.

   Thanks!

Subject: Outlook startup - fast when profile is new, slow after that


Hi all.

I am chasing something that is causing Outlook to perform poorly. Can't
quite figure it out.

The environment:
Exchange 2000 server. Outlook 2000.
AD Domain controllers are not accessible to the clients, only the
Exchange server can talk to the domain controllers. Exchange server is
configured to not use RFR, all Outlooks are forced to use NSPI proxy.
All the client PCs have an entry in their HOSTS file for the name and IP
address of the Exchange server.

When I create an Outlook profile from scratch and use it for the first
time, Outlook starts immediately. However all the subsequent start-ups
are slow. I always get a pop-up saying that the Exchange server is not
available, Retry or Work offline. After I hit Retry, it connects fine.

I have noticed that after the first connection, a key is created in the
registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\jkelly02\dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182

And it has string value 001e6602=exchange_server_name



Now I have another PC with an earlier version of Outlook 2000 installed
on it. That PC does not experience such problems. It always connects on
the first try. I also noticed that the dca740c8c042101ab4b908002b2fe182
key exists on that PC but does not have any values.
