RE: Port 135 and Exchange Issue
Hank, a VPN is going to be the solution you have to impliment. You are correct about the ISP's. They are not going to open up 135 again. Even if some do, most will not. Let me ask a couple of questions. How many users do you have? What VPN solution were you testing? What did you mean in the statement below? Are you saying that when someone connected via VPN, they could not access the internet at the same time? If so, try this (this is for XP or W2K): After saving the VPN connection, right click on the VPN Connection and Networking, Then the properites for TCP/IP, Click Advanced, and UNCHECK the box that says Use Default Gateway. Save. -Original Message- From: Hank [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2003 12:18 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Port 135 and Exchange Issue We have tried to implement a VPN solution, but now realize that unless we run the connection on our client and have a full internet connection at the same time, this will not work for us.

Port 135 and Exchange Issue
We are trying to recover from ISPs closing down port 135. We have an dedicated Exchange Server at a hosting company. 20 of our 23 people scattered around the country can not use the full functionality of Outlook/Exchange because of this problem. We are a classic case study of how a company has suceeded in business by using most of the functionality of Outlook/Exchange. We built our 3 year old company's communications, task management, and database using the Exchange Platform, including extensive use of custom 'forms' that track hundreds of tasks and our workflow. The ISP's closing out port 135 has brought us to our knees. We are scambling just trying to stay on schedule with our committments to our clients. I have no hope that the ISPs will turn open up 135 again, so I also need an alternative way to connect to the *full* functionality we had before, or be forced to migrate completely off exchange and rebuild our entire infrastructure using another platform. We have tried to implement a VPN solution, but now realize that unless we run the connection on our client and have a full internet connection at the same time, this will not work for us. We do not know how to do this. We must have full access to the internet and exchange at the same time because of the nature of our service we provide. Any ideas?

RE: Quick question -- -domainprep and forestprep necessary for 2nd e2k server install?
Thanks for the answer! Since the original server was an upgraded one there might have been something slightly out of whack. I ran forestprep and then exchange installed just fine. Seems to up and running now without any problems -- I'm sure I'll find a way to muck it up!

This usually occurs when you run the install and are not one of the accounts listed with "full exchange administrator" permissions. Right click on the organization and choose delegate permissions. See what account is listed and be sure you are using that account to do the install. Also, there is no need to run Forest/Domainprep if you are installing into the same domain as your other exchange server. It will not hurt anything if you do, though.

RE: Quick question -- -domainprep and forestprep necessary for 2nd e2k server install?
Well, is the error message suggesting the situation that you are in? Are you trying to upgrade another Exchange 5.5 server in a different site than your existing AD/E2K implementation? Usually, if you are setting up the second E2K box into the same AD forest and same Domain as the first E2K is in, then you don't need to run Forestprep or domainprep.
