Display Public Contact Folder Record's Owner
I am running Exchange 2000 SP3 with Outlook 2000 clients. I have set up a public folder for a departments contacts, with the exchange permissions so that all department members can see all records, all can add records but they can only edit and delete the records they own. My problem is that I can not figure out how to display which department member 'owns' each contact record.

Careful examination of the message logs showed the message traveling through the appropriate connectors and being passed off to the MTA in LA.

The failures are not being returned in any form. Only the message tracking log shows the failures. About an hour ago, I turned off "Expand remote DL's locally" on all of the Seattle servers.

This *may* mean the cross-site problem is fixed, or may not - the issue has not been consistent - not all sendings to cross site DL's using the procedures described above were failing. ***Intra-site*** In another example, Bridget used the same procedure as above (her profile but "from" IC) to send a message to a list of users in Seattle. Bridget's mailbox and the IC mailbox are both in Seattle, as is the DL used to send the message. The message is normally delivered to all users.

E2K front-end and back-end in different domains?
A while back I queried the group about putting E2K front-end servers in a different domain (but same forest) than the backend servers. A couple of people responded that they could indeed be in different domains and were in fact running that way. Based on that positive feedback, I decided to try it out in test, and lo and behold it does seem to work (very limited testing so far...). Now the weird part: While perusing the Microsoft document titled "Exchange Front-end and Back-end Topology White Paper" for firewall information, I found a blurb on page 16 that specifically states that back-end servers must be in the same domain as the front-end servers. I had missed that entirely in previous reads! This paper is dated July 2000. I'm hoping that this is either wrong, or outdated (superceded by a service pack perhaps?) Does anyone have any references showing that this supported? I really hate to burn a PSS call on this... _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

IMO FE/BE is simply a load balancing method by protocol. For an access point put ISA Server in the DMZ, OWA on a computer in the internal, and the Exchange store on another computer in the internal.

RE: the IBM Shark
Hi this is Ben Thompson. I am the Sr. Network Engineer at the college that Liz is the Exchange Administrator. (I just also happen to dual as her husband.) We have had a Shark for several years now. The performance is great. You may want to look at NT related buffering issues when dealing with its performance, we did not have to modify anything to get it working though. We are a Compaq shop and the Compaq SANS just was not up to spec for Novell, NT/2000, and AIX/Linux. (Novell is not even supported with NT on the same unit at the same time.) Exchange has been working wonderfully, as well as Novell, Linux, DOS and 2000. (We are Exchange 5.5) We have been booting from the SANS since day one, something IBM does not like but will support. We also run our production Oracle database on the Shark. If that performance lagged for any reason I would have 3 major sites and 11 remote sites down my throat in a heartbeat. If anyone would care to look at our installation, feel free to e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I can set it up. As to SSA blowing chunks, most people thought the same of Token-Ring. Just because something is more complicated to understand and expensive does not make the architecture "blow chunks", just cost prohibitive. Benjamin N.

HELP 5.5 message routing -> 2000 ?
Okay, maybe this is a better subject line. I've taken a look at recipient polcies as an alternative but they don't really do what I want them to. Really what I want is that if a user as an address: [EMAIL PROTECTED], I want smoo@ to work for a variety of domains. In the case of recipient policies, this isn't really possible if smoo isn't associated with the user in AD in any way. Another issue is that when I adjust the default domain policy to include things like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] as valid E-Mail addresses and I apply the recipient policy the changes don't go into effect for anyone. That is, if I check the E-Mail Addresses tab in ADUC they're not there.

Here is the message that their server is sending at the end of my message. "451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html"; A main snippet, referencing the error, from that website says: "It was generated by qmail, an Internet message transfer agent. Your mailer tried to send an e-mail message to a server running qmail. Unfortunately, qmail spotted a problem: your mailer sent a bare LF." There are a couple of things that are odd about the situation. 1. The mail that is being rejected appears to have a CR at the end of the message. The message end just like all the other messages that are sent or received by our server. Here is a portion of the capture of the data stream from the message that generates the error. href="http://www.tankstatus.com/ssa_pipeline";>SSA Version 1.0 Copyright (c) Intelligent Controls, Inc. 1997-2002 . 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html. QUIT 221 Catch you later In the actual capture utility window it shows a box [] after the period just above the line starting with '451 See...' 2. The mail that is sent and rejected is auto generated by one of our web servers (tankstatus.com) based on an event. It is in HTML format and relayed through our Exchange 5.5 server (on separate box). An original message is attached. 3. I am able to sent mail to the host in question (fast.net) from my work station (outlook 2002). The main difference is that my mails are not in html format. 4. We operate this service for several customers and have never had a problem with them receiving our automated emails, which for the most part are identical. This is so odd that I am not even sure where to go to trouble shoot, or even what question(s) to ask in this list. Has anyone got any insight, former experience, suggestions or smart ass comments? At this point anything would be helpful.

RE: Purchased another company, need to migrate their mail....
Do you mean move the domain accounts, or the mail accounts? If the latter, setup a trust from the US to the UK. Use Exmerge to extract the UK users' data and import it into the US server. There's not going to be an automated way to do this, sorry. Add to your laundry list "administrative headache" and charge them some overtime (but you're probably exempt). -Original Message- From: Joe Pochedley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 7:08 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Purchased another company, need to migrate their mail Daniel: Yes, email over a Internet based VPN, across the pond, nothing but Net... :) As I said, I protested and gave the administration quite a laundry list of why it wasn't the best way to run thing, but they are the ones who pay the money so they're the ones who get to make the decision.

RE: Purchased another company, need to migrate their mail....
Hi, Based on what you say about the informatoin store size, if I can presume that you are going to migrate a few users (That depends on you as to what you classify as few); did you consider the option of making pst files of all users, make your exchange server resolve both the domain names.. or be the MX record holder for both the domains and you manually create each user... and then import the pst files into your exchange server. for them to be able to check there mails from U.K change the client settings on each client.

RE: Mail Enabled Public Folders on Exchange 2000

These are Public folders I migrated over from a Exchange 5.5 server via a pst file. They show as having email addresses already but if you right click, all tasks you only get Mail Enable it's as if Exchange doesn't know about the email addresses. Yet it works perfectly.
