SPAM Product

2003-08-10 Thread Woodruff, Michael 
We just purchased MailFrontier and I have to say this is the most
amazing Anti Spam product I have seen.   Compared to Mailsweeper that we
were running, MailFrontier blows it away.  In the last day out of 20,000
messages, 14,000 has been caught as SPAM.   Only 2 false positives out
of the whole deal so far.   Just thought I'd let some of you know since
you were looking for a good product.  No content scanning yet, but they
said it will be coming in future releases.

Re: Windows 2000 Backup

2003-08-10 Thread Chris Scharff 
NT backup doesn't do BLBs. It wasn't engineered by Veritas to have that
level of uselessness. You'll need to waste good money to get that kind of
inefficiency.

RE: Big problem with Public Folders in Exchange 2000

2003-08-10 Thread John Matteson 
Check to make sure that your permissions allow you to do what it is that
you're doing.

Check to make sure you don't have any dead users in the permissions of
the folders.

Are these migrated folders or new folders created under Exchange 2000.

If you are mailing, make sure the folders are mail enabled. They are not
mail enabled by default in native mode Exchange 2k.

Conversation: Big problem with Public Folders in Exchange 2000
Subject: Big problem with Public Folders in Exchange 2000


I have noticed that our public folders set up as mailboxes are not
working.  I can send mail to the public folder, and it gets to the
folder, but if I try to open, it hangs (message that Outlook is
retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange Server .  You can
cancel request...).  The message shows in the upper pane, but the
details do not show in the details pane.  If I open the folder and try
to delete some messages (that are spam), I get a prompt asking if I am
sure I want to delete, I click yes, and sometimes I have to do this 3
times before the message dissapears.  I have restarted the Exchange
server and my PC w/ no luck. 
All of my mailboxes are working, it is just with the public folders. 
Also, I created a new public folder as a mailbox for testing and when I
try to send a message to that account, auto-complete attempts to guess
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but displays tester.  The
message appears in the preview pane, but the details pane is blank with
an informational "This item cannot be displayed in the preview pane.
Open the item to read its contents."  Can anyone explain what is
happening and how to fix this?  Sorry for the length, but I wanted to
give as much info as possible.  FYI - it's Exchange 2000 server, Outlook
2002 clients, no obvious events in event viewer, all pertinent Exchange
services seem to be running.  Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.

Server hardware specs for E2K3 (WAS: E2K Forest/Domain-prep on Wi n2003 Domain?)

2003-08-10 Thread Dickenson, Steven 
I guess the question about is it worth the money was more hypothetical.
I've since gotten an updated price of $370, which IS worth it to me.

As far as hardware goes, I'm looking for a general "should be okay", or "not
a good idea".

My PRIV is 6GB, PUB 30MB.  About 450 mailboxes.  On average, 50 clients
connected at a time, with a maximum of 250 (that's how many PCs we have).
No idea what the mail volume is.  I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure how to
track it.

We would be running E2K3 SE with McAfee GroupShield on Win2k3 Standard
Server.

Hardware is P3600, 784MB of RAM, hardware RAID, 18GB RAID1 OS/Pagefile/Apps,
33GB RAID1 Data/Logs.  I can go dual proc if it will help.

Thoughts, ideas?

The hardware requirements for E2K3 vs E2K are generally equivalent, whether
that hardware is sufficient for you org is not really something I can say
with any degree of certainty. It meets the minimum hardware requirements I
believe. 

Whether or not it is worth $1000 for you is not really a question I can
answer. It is for customers who hire me to do the work, since I performed my
last E2K migration the weekend after TechEd and haven't looked back since.

Hmm... I'm all distracted trying to figure out this google thing. Who
knew
there was any other search engine on the planet beyond
www.searchbastard.com? Why would anyone bother?

Dual proc would help, but bumping up the RAM would probably help more.
If
you could only do one, I'd choose the latter. Beyond that... With users
who'd fall into my 'typical category' I'd imagine you'd likely be OK (at
the
very least you will be no worse of with E2K3 on this config than you
would
be with E2K on it). To be clear this is a new box correct? Because the
one
downside[1] to a 5.5 to E2K3 migration is that you can't do it in place,
but
need to swing to new hardware.

Script for monitoring Server services...

2003-08-10 Thread Blunt, James H (Jim) 
Scenario:  Running NT 4.0 SP6a domain, with Win2k SP2 servers (soon to be
SP4) and an Ex5.5 SP4 e-mail system.

Objective:  If particular services on a server are still having problems
after restarting more than twice, I want the server to page me via text
e-mail message at my cell phone.  I don't know a lot about coding, but would
be willing to learn.  What would be the easiest way to do this?  I was
thinking of several options:

1.  ActiveState PERL, using the Net::SMTP module to send an e-mail.
2.  Some kind of VB script.
3.  Blat, Postie or something along those lines.
4.  Some program (preferably Freeware) that I can customize to do this for
me.
a.  IPSentry LITE Network Monitoring Software may do the trick...but
it's only for a max of 2 devices...costs $99 for the full version (I bet I
can swing that) ;0)
b.  Server Service Monitor 1.15:
http://tucows.tsol.co.za/adnload/274374_105207.html ($15 shareware product)

Anyone have anything better?

TIA,

Jim Blunt

RE: Finding full mailboxes.

2003-08-10 Thread Clemens, Rick 
I had to create something similar to what you are requesting.  It's a VB
script that uses the MBInfo tool to grab current mailbox sizes and then
grabs Mailbox Limits from Active Directory (ie Warning Limit, Prohibit Send
Limit, Prohibit Send Receive Limit)  It then writes all this information to
an HTML page that is updated every 30 minutes.  Our HelpDesk is able to use
this when users reach their limit and I don't have to give them any rights
to Exchange.  E-mail me and I will show you what it does.

Meant to add, "save the window contents to a file" after sorting, and
there's your report.  Somewhat of a manual process, and not fancy, but
doesn't cost anything and requires no additional software.  Pull the file
into Excel or Access for more sort options.  Maybe not as automated of a
process as you are looking for, but again, cheap.

 My personal opinion is that they did away with Outlook for
 the Mac because
 OS X, especially Jaguar (10.2.x) is the first OS with a
 legitimate chance of
 displacing Microsoft from their dominance of the desktop.
>>> It meets the
 requirements of having Microsoft Office (Word/Excel/etc).
 Therefore, the
 only missing app is a full blown Outlook client. Its
 Microsoft's only way to
 stop the tide without giving up their entire Mac offering.

Exchange permissions

2003-08-10 Thread Jason Clishe 
I've recently inherited an Exchange 2000 Organization. One of the first
things that I noticed was that all Domain and Enterprise Administrators
have the ability to open and read anyone's mailboxes. I've checked the
ACL on our mailbox store (we only have one), and both Domain Admins and
Enterprise Admins have an inherited "Allow" under Send As and Receive
As. Obviously this is not the default configuration.

I've made the registry adjustment listed in Q259221 to allow me to see
the security tab at the Org level. Even at the Org level, Domain and
Enterprise Admins are still inheriting an allowed Send As and Receive
As.

But here's something else I noticed: when I use the Delegation Wizard at
the Org level to add an Exchange Full Administrator, and then check the
ACL on the Org, the new administrator that I just added gets inherited
allows on Send As and Receive As, but also gets explicit denies on both
of those ACE's. From that point down the heirarchy, only the explicit
deny is inherited.

So my question is this. At the org level, by default, are Domain Admins
and Enterprise Admins set with inherited allows *and* explicit denies on
Send As and Receive As? This would indicate to me that perhaps a
previous administrator here simply removed the explicit deny?

If someone could check the ACL on your Exchange Org and let me know what
permissions Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins have, I'd much
appreciate it.

Thanks

Jason
