EX55: Blocking OUTBOUND email by domain??

2004-01-08 Thread Alverson, Tom
 
I need to block inbound and outbound email to a particular domain on
exchange 5.5.  I searched the net and only found an Exchange 2000 way to do
this.  For inbound I simply added that domain to the TURF settings and that
works fine.  For outbound the only kludge I could come up with is to set up
a CONNECTION/Specify by email domain and set that domain to route through
0.0.0.0.  This host is unreachable which means that the messages sit in the
outbound queue and retry until they expire (as well as generating a bunch of
alerts to the sender).  Is there a better way to do this?

Has anybody had any problems with any of their users receiving email a bogus
alias?  One of my Exchange users has recently been receiving emails
addressed to an alias that does not exist anywhere on our domain?

How does one export the contents of the Global Address List container from

I can select the Global Address List container from within Admin as the

RE: IFS

2003-12-16 Thread Alverson, Tom
If you would like to disable the messenger service (for all computers) in a
login script, just use this in a reg file:


REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger]
Start=dword:0004 

Save that as something.reg and add this command to your login script:

start /wait regedit /s \\pdc1\netlogon\something.reg  
(change pdc1 to the name of your login server and put the REG file in the
netlogon directory)

What do you mean?  Do you send popup messages as alerts?  Even the
Monitoring notifications from Exchange send out e-mail alerts (though
one could argue the usefulness of that feature) or scripts (which
require an executable to be specified).  Neither one uses the Messenger
service, though I suppose you could configure your script to use that. I
would say that it is best to not have your Exchange server monitoring
itself.  Put a monitoring package on a server with the SMTP service
installed and use that to send out your alerts.

Dear All

I would be interested in any comments about the following ethical problem.

Recently I was contacted by an acquaintance who sent me the following email.



Hi

I would be grateful if you could forward an email to your colleague's users
about a number of telephony and Internet access packages I am involved in
offering to BT users.  The Broadband Offerings start at £15.99, which I
believe is amongst the cheapest around.  Tiscali that I know you have good
experiences of supplies the packages.  They would all save your users money
and some of them are free.  If you want to you could join up as an associate
and make money as well.  The users can find out more info by visiting
www.telco-store.com 

Thanks for your assistance.

.

My question to you is whether if I were to send out a mail to my colleagues
would you consider this Spam.  I do believe that this is a good offering
from a reputable company which would save my users money but it could fall
under the category of unsolicited email. However  so is a global email to my
users warning them of Spam from Nigeria for example or warning them that
somebody has left their car headlights on in the works carpark !! Do you
consider this different to producing a paper notice about this offering and
sticking it on the works notice board.

I welcome your comments

RE: Race between client rules and BES server

2003-12-10 Thread Alverson, Tom
 That is exactly what I was looking for.  We are running BES 2.1 now but I
am ready to switch over to 3.x very soon.  I have already switched all my
rules back to the server because I was being flooded with Blackberry
messaages where it saw them before the rule kicked in.  Does anyone have any
experience in how many seconds delay is enough?

However, if you absolutely must persist with this bloody stupid way of doing
things, here's a reghack for the server that'll do what you need it to do.
It was originally pointed to me by the below Mr. Webb's lovely wife... :)

Oh, the text below says HKLM.  Put it in HKCU as well, same tree path.

QUOTE:

Just a tip I learned that I thought I would pass along to the rest of you on
how to make the Blackberry work better if you use a spam filter or Outlook
rules. I get about 200-250 spam emails per day so I use a spam filter (I
Hate Spam, which does work well and I have no association with that
company) and also use Outlook rules to move certain emails to various
folders so, while my Outlook Inbox was relatively clean, my Blackberry was
getting very hard to use due to the shear number of messages on it. I
personally found the filters in the Desktop Manager were useless for me but
the following registry hack allows both my spam filter and Outlook rules to
do their job before the Blackberry server ever process anything, thereby
resulting in a very manageable handheld.

I am using the Exchange Enterprise v2.1 server but I was told this reg hack
should work for all versions. I'm not sure how you'd do it on a desktop
redirector but there's probably a way.

Go to regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research in
Motion\BlackBerry\Server add a DWORD value called ProcessMailDelay
(without the quotes) The decimal value you set here will be the delay, in
seconds, that the server waits before looking at a user's Inbox to begin
routing to the handheld Stop/Restart the Blackberry Server service

Hope this helps someone out there.

It's interesting to see how the timeframe has changed over the years.

This is an example of people not understanding what an information economy
is.  A very sad example I suppose.

You can use Ximian Evolution http://www.ximian.com/products/evolution/

for Exchange 2000 or 20003.  The client is free, but the Connector will cost

Well... Ximian with the exchange connector has the advantage of being able

Quite a few of our Linux people use it.

(it's really going through OWA to get to the additional folders (calendar,

Seems to work quit well here.

RE: Outlook 2k3 on XP won't connect to My Exchange 5.5

2003-12-04 Thread Alverson, Tom
If you use caching mode with outlook 2003 and exchange 5.5, then your cache
is limited to 2gig (it cannot use the new enhanced unicode PST format.
This means that if you have anywhere close to 2gig in your server mailbox it
will not work (it will fill up the 2gig of an old style PST then give you an
error).  The only workaround is to stop using cache mode or trim your server
storage to much less than 2g (like 1.5gig or less as the PST format is much
less efficient than PSTs)

2003-11-24 Thread Alverson, Tom
I have been searching Google for a solution and so far have found many
people with this problem, but no solutions.  One person said that restarting
the mailbox manager service fixes it temporarily.  I thought this too as
this got it to work once for me, but I just tried it again (restarting the
service) and still it will not process any mailboxes (although it has
several times).

I am running exchange 5.5sp4 on win2k sp4 and have the mailbox manager from
the sp4 download.  I see in the knowledge base that there is a newer mailbox
manager (post-sp4) but they do not mention this problem and it is not
available for download (you must call PSS and beg for it).

Subject: Mailbox Manager

Anyone out there using Mailbox Manager?

I am having a little trouble with mine, I have my manager set up on a test
box.
Currently it is set to audit only with these specifics:

Inbox: 3 Days
Sent Items: 3 Days
Deleted Items: 3 Days
Other Folders: 5 Days

The mailboxes on this server were imported onto it using Exmerge last
Thursday When the process runs, whether scheduled or after choosing clean
now I get
this:

Event ID: 727
Started processing mailboxes at the scheduled time of 09/15/03 09:54:50. 

Event ID: 728
The Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox Manager has completed processing
mailboxes
Started at: 09/15/03 09:54:50
Completed at:   09/15/03 09:54:50
Mailboxes processed:0
Messages moved: 0
Size of moved messages: 0.00 KB
Deleted messages:   0
Size of deleted messages:   0.00 KB. 


I know there are messages in these mailboxes older than 3 days

Any ideas on if I'm missing something?

Current config
Windows 2000 SP4
Exchange Server 5.5 Sp4

Joshua

RE: Virus with XP

2003-11-10 Thread Alverson, Tom
One of those hosts file viruses relocates the hosts file to c:\windows\help
(or c:\winnt\help).  It does not overwrite your existing hosts file, but
puts a bogus one in the help directory and modifies the registry so windows
looks there instead.

Ed,

I fully support your position on brick level backups but thought that it
would be the only possible way of supporting this type of exclusion.  A
colleague of mine recently saw my posting and mentioned that he had posted
the same question and got the same response that nothing existed today.


My only question is how companies are expected to limit their liability
under new regulations such as Sarbanes/Ox when everything is leaving more
and more of an audit train.  Senior managers throughout the industry are
over reacting by taking the position of backing up less information to
prevent someone from saying something stupid in a voicemail or e-mail and
having it come back to bite them somewhere down the road.

RE: EX5.5: can't get rid of TURFTABLE?? - RESOLVED

2003-11-05 Thread Alverson, Tom
 I got a chance to stop and start the IS (and the IMC too for good measure)
and the turftable changes finally took effect.  Apparently most of the time
restarting the IMC is all you need but sometimes the IS must be restarted
too (this is exchange 5.5 sp4 on win2k sp3).

Be advised that you cannot use the new biggie sized PST files (unicode)
for cache mode one Exchange 5.5 (It won't let you).  The result of this is
that it will create a 2g limited pst file, and if your mailbox is over about
1.5g (pst's take more space to save the messages) it will die and you will
have to disable cache mode until you get your mailbox on the server well
below 2g.

all maybe somebody out there is in a similar predicament.

I have a user who is using Outlook XP/2002 and they are connecting to my
Exchange server via a VPN connection. There is no way in He** that I am
going to setup a pop3 or Imap connection point for them.


Every so often this user starts getting slow response times. A dialog box

I have users who have a similar setup. But they are using Outlook 98 and
Outlook 2000 and they don't experience the same delays.

This user lives out in California but when they came to Atlanta they were
experiencing the same thing.

Exchange 5.5 has the latest service pack4.

Please don't say upgrade to Exchange 2003. That's not in our budget and also
we have about 200 email accounts and in Exchange 2003 you have to pay for
every email account you create.

I think we are going Lotus and drop Microsoft all together.

Anybody have any ideas?

Exchange 5.5

 
Sorry if this came through twice.  Had to change the text type and re-send.

This is a little off-topic.  We are about to deploy XWall for Exchange on
our front end IMC relays.  One of the requirements is that we change the
smtp port for Exchange on the IMC's to use 24 since XWall will use port 25
and get the messages first.  I guess my questions are:

For users using POP or custom applications that are using the Exchange IMC
as their relay host, how will changing the ports affect them?  Have I just
disabled POP by installing XWall?

We have locked down all unused ports so I guess I need to open port 24 up to
the front end and back end servers as well.

Is there anything I need to be careful about or any other gotchas that I
should know.

RE: Symantec Antivirus for Exchange and regular expressions

Too bad they don't support Exchange 5.5 with these new versions.  I read
somewhere that 40% of exchange servers are still on 5.5.  I am stuck on 2.18

Hello, I am trying to configure NAVEX to scan message subject lines with
regular expressions but it is not quite understanding me (or am I doing
something wrong?)

I am trying to give it this expression:

When I click Save, NAVEX breaks up this string into a bunch of smaller
strings.

Am I expecting too much from NAVEX?

Are there any reasons not to begin moving our client desktops to Outlook

features that are introduced in Outlook 2003 will not be available to those

I have installed it on my desk and really like it once I have figured out
where everything went to. I would like to start putting it on others so that
we can have a more gradual rollout.

RE: Hot off the Fixes....

2003-10-15 Thread Alverson, Tom
 
MS03-046 is listed as critical and involves somebody sending bogus data to
your smtp port.  In our case, the smtp port of our exchange server is not
directly connected to the internet - our external SMTP interface is a
sendmail firewall that forwards the email to an antivirus gateway and then
to the exchange machine.  In this scenario, the bogus smtp data is much less
likely to ever reach the exchange server.  If your exchange SMTP port is
directly on the internet then I would be in a hurry to load that patch.

 Subject: Permissions changing on pickup directory
 
 
 I have a couple of webpages using CDO to send mail.  For them to work, 
 I have to give IWAM_server write access to the pickup directory of my 
 Exch2k-SP3 server.  So I give IWAM those rights and the pages work 
 fine. However, we try out the webpage again a few hours later, and we 
 get an access denied error.  So I look at the permissions on the 
 pickup directory and see that IWAM has been removed.  I assume 
 Exchange has repermissioned pickup to be tighter.  So I tried changing 
 it again (and unchecking inherit permissions from parent..), and 
 again it works for a while before breaking.
 
 Am I supposed to be doing this a different way?
 
 Thanks!

trying to backup using NTBackup to a disk, all the rest of the backup

appears from the log, I get the volumes and (based on size) what appears to
be the Public folders but I can't seem to get the Private store to backup.
At the very bottom (pasted below) is where it fails. I've searched for the
error in the 'Q' articles, I don't seem to find anything (looking in
Exchange2000 kB's). Maybe it's just a RC bug...

RE: Mailbox moves completed, but....

2003-09-19 Thread Alverson, Tom
I had this same problem moving from an NT4/EX55 server to a new WIN2k/EX55
server using move mailbox.  After backing up the affected mailboxes with
EXMERGE, I tried moving one back to the old server.  If I remember
correctly, the move mailbox function saw the bogus empty mailbox on the old
server and deleted it (and then didn't bother moving it because of the
error).  This happened to about 5 mailboxes out of 250.

First, even though these mailboxes are duplicated, is the user able to open
it ok and access all their items?  If so, maybe just run the Cleanup Agent
on the old server.

Another suggestion might be to try and move the mailbox back.  It should
error out, and may remove the orphaned item for you.  If it works, then
check the new server and see if it shows up.  If not, move it back to the
new server.

Have you checked Technet (KB) at all?  Orphaned Mailbox maybe?

Subject: Mailbox moves completed, but


Good afternoon,

I have completed moving 1700+ mailboxes from one server to the other.
We are using Outlook 98 Exchange Windows 2000.  After the moves were
completed I have a few stray mailboxes that are hanging around that are
duplicated on the two servers. Under total K they show 0K, even though
the mailbox on the correct server (the one moved to) show the correct
space 58,098K.

I am afraid if we delete the mailbox on the almost empty server, we will
delete the real mailbox. So we don't want to do that.  We could dump the
mailbox to a PST, delete the mailbox and restore the mailbox, but that
would cause problems because all communications to the old mailbox would
be severed and people couldn't do replies to the eMAILs that are sitting
in the mailbox. Meetings couldn't be canceled.

What a quandary.  What do we do? Just turn off the server and clean it
off..
I don't think so.

Thanks for any help you might have.

Hi all

What is the best brick level backup software for Exchange 2000? I have
gave up on Arcserve as it crashes to many times on critical restores.

Any advice welcome.

RE: Brick Level Backup

2003-09-18 Thread Alverson, Tom
I always get errors in the exmerge log that I assume were due to antivirus
(NAV for exchange 5.5) slowing things down.  Do you have to stop AV to run
this?

I don't do that. Here's the basics of what I do:

Exmerge (with various command line switches that I'm too lazy to look up
right now).
Cd \exmergedata
Del pst.9.zip
Ren pst.8.zip pst.9.zip
Ren pst.7.zip pst.8.zip
..
Ren pst.zip pst.1.zip
Zip -m -9  pst.zip *.pst

This is in a batch file that gets run nightly via the scheduler. I keep 10
days of snapshots of select mailboxes. Customer is happy, it was easy to
script, and it didn't cost anything other than a bit of disk space.

But if you keep on dumping new data into the same PST, eventually it
will grow quite large, even if your online mailbox limit is low.

Invisible corrupt message on EX5.5 server

2003-09-17 Thread Alverson, Tom
We are running exchange 5.5 sp4 on a win2k sp3 server.  I have been using
outlook 2003 beta for a long time (I now have the final version installed)
and apparently it has left some garbage in my inbox and the administrators
(which I also open with my profile).  

I only found out about this when I installed BE 9.0 on the server (I had
been using NTBACKUP) and accidentally did a mailbox (BRICK) backup (bless me
father for I have sinned, my last full backup was yesterday).  The
information store backup runs without problems, but the brick backup logs
these failures:

That is a good possibility.  I'll try to exmerge it and see if that
generates any errors.  I did download the latest build from Veritas instead
of installing the older build off of the CD.

Nope, I think the number of mailboxes you can read is based on the licenses

Followup on OWA suddenly died thread

2003-09-02 Thread Alverson, Tom
Last Friday I reported that all of the sudden our Exchange 5.5 OWA server
started crashing with ASP 0115 errors.

Andy David (the godlike one) immediately zeroed in on my usage of Outlook
2003 and it's effect.  While researching the problem I found that it was
only MY mailbox that would crash it, so I started to clean out my inbox
(completely emptying it) and also emptying my deleted items folder which was
pretty full.  I then got the patch from MS by calling PSS and having them
email it to me.  I tried a before test but I could no longer crash OWA
with my cleaned up inbox.  I applied the CDO patch ONLY to my OWA server,
not to the Exchange mail server.  I did this because rebooting the OWA
server is no big problem, but rebooting the exchange server should probably
only be done after hours.

So I can't verify that the patch works, but it probably does.  I'm not going
to load up my inbox again just to see.  The OWA server has been running fine
since Friday.

OWA just quit after years of running - error 'ASP 0115'

2003-08-29 Thread Alverson, Tom
Our OWA server for exchange 5.5 sp4 is running on an NT4 box separate from
our exchange servers.   The old exchange server is running nt4sp6a and
exchange 5.5 sp4.  The new exchange server (that all the mailboxes are now
on) is on windows 2000 sp3 and exchange 5.5 sp4.

A user just told me today that OWA quit working 2 days ago.  I tried it
today and just got a blank screen (no web page ever loaded).  I rebooted the
server and it worked briefly but soon will fail with an ASP 0115 error.
For example, after rebooting, I try to log in and get the name  PW prompt,
and then see my inbox OK, but when I click on a message I usually get the
following error:

error 'ASP 0115' 
Unexpected error 

/exchange/USA/root.asp 

A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue
running. 

I looked at the knowledgebase article and there are a whole bunch of things
to check, but this server has been running fine for years and has never had
this problem.  No changes were made recently and the even log is clean over
the last 3 days except for after I rebooted it and I get the ASP error, it
logs Event ID 5:

Error: File /exchange/USA/root.asp  Unexpected error

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I also see a new W3SVC error with event ID 105 that says:

The server was unable to register the administration tool discovery
information.  The administration tool may not be able to see this server.
The data is the error code.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp

I have no idea what this one means or if it is related.

Has anyone seen this type of error or have any suggestions on what to try
first?  I am thinking of re-applying exchange SP4 on the OWA machine as I
can reboot that at any time (especially since it is not working very well).
I also noticed that after reboot the WWW publishing service is not always
started and I have to manually start it (it is set to automatic).

RE: OWA just quit after years of running - error 'ASP 0115'

2003-08-29 Thread Alverson, Tom
There were 99 files in there and some were from 1999.  Even though I had
stopped web publishing in services, it could not delete the temp file from
my session untill I killed inetinfo.exe with task manager.  After restarting
web publishing services, it started to come up but stalled with my inbox
screen with frames set up but blank.  I shut down and I'm running a low
level disk diag (since I saw some atapi errors in the log from a few weeks
ago) and then I'll try it again in case a full reboot is better than just
restarting inetinfo.

RE: OWA just quit after years of running - error 'ASP 0115' - Get ting Wierder and Wierder

2003-08-29 Thread Alverson, Tom
 I have now determined that after cleaning out the webtemp directory and
rebooting, I can access other peoples mailboxes without crashing OWA.  Once
I try to access mine, it (inetinfo.exe) dies trying to render my inbox.  I
think I will clean out my inbox and see what happens next.

I have been searching google for related problams and have found several
people with very similar problems and no solution ever posted.  Microsoft
suggested to one admin to just upgrade to Exchange 2000 and that would
probably fix his problem.  I guess if I upgraded my '89 Toyota Corolla to a
'04 model that would probably fix the nasty carburettor problems it has
too...

For example, after rebooting, I try to log in and get the name  PW prompt,
and then see my inbox OK, but when I click on a message I usually get the
following error:

error 'ASP 0115' 
Unexpected error 

/exchange/USA/root.asp 

A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue
running. 

I looked at the knowledgebase article and there are a whole bunch of things
to check, but this server has been running fine for years and has never had
this problem.  No changes were made recently and the even log is clean over
the last 3 days except for after I rebooted it and I get the ASP error, it
logs Event ID 5:

Error: File /exchange/USA/root.asp  Unexpected error

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I also see a new W3SVC error with event ID 105 that says:

The server was unable to register the administration tool discovery
information.  The administration tool may not be able to see this server.
The data is the error code.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp

I have no idea what this one means or if it is related.

Has anyone seen this type of error or have any suggestions on what to try
first?  I am thinking of re-applying exchange SP4 on the OWA machine as I
can reboot that at any time (especially since it is not working very well).
I also noticed that after reboot the WWW publishing service is not always
started and I have to manually start it (it is set to automatic).

Is there a fix?

Once I have accessed my mailbox on the exchange server with outlook 2003 I
have apparently infected it with the PR_FREEBUSY_ENTRYIDS property, a
fourth field in something that previously had 3.  I would have to delete my
mailbox and create a new one to get rid of the 4th field.  And once I do
that, some other rogue user will install Outlook 2003 and crash it again.

RE: 3 Layers of Virus protection.

2003-08-20 Thread Alverson, Tom
We have 3 1/2 layers:

1- custom smap based linux box with spam filtering, attachment blocking, and
some custom blocking of known bad stuff (this one is the 1/2 since it
doesn't really scan for known viruses, just virus like emails)

2- Symantec Antivirus for SMTP Gateways:  This is a separate machine that
processes all inbound mail for our exchange server.

3- Symantec Antivirus for Exchange: Runs on the exchange server and scans
everything (not just inbound from the internet).

4- Symantec Client Antivirus:  All clients have this installed and if 1,2
and 3 fail this may save us.

SAV for SMTP Gateways - blocking extensions within ZIP??

2003-08-19 Thread Alverson, Tom

I am running Symantec Antivirus for SMTP gateways version 3.1.0.29.  This
has an option to block attachments by extension, but this blocks files even
when they are in ZIP files.  The Symantec (Norton) antivirus that runs on
our exchange server (5.5) has a registry setting to control whether or not
it looks in ZIP files for bad extension (it always scans for viruses in ZIP
files). 

Does anyone know how to configure SAV for SMTP gateways to allow bad
extensions when they are stored in ZIP files?

Subject: RE: SAV for SMTP Gateways - blocking extensions within ZIP??

Can you configure this (Symantec Antivirus for SMTP gateways) to only allow
specific extensions?  Basically block all by default except for the
extensions you put on a white list?

Subject: SAV for SMTP Gateways - blocking extensions within ZIP??



I am running Symantec Antivirus for SMTP gateways version 3.1.0.29.  This
has an option to block attachments by extension, but this blocks files even
when they are in ZIP files.  The Symantec (Norton) antivirus that runs on
our exchange server (5.5) has a registry setting to control whether or not
it looks in ZIP files for bad extension (it always scans for viruses in ZIP
files). 

Does anyone know how to configure SAV for SMTP gateways to allow bad
extensions when they are stored in ZIP files?

RE: PST version - revisited

2003-08-18 Thread Alverson, Tom
I have had good luck repairing bad (over 2G) pst files by using ontrack's
easyrecovery utility.  I bought the version that does all types of office
files (doc, xls, mdb, pst) as well as doing low level hard disk recovery and
it was about $500.  You can get the various pieces for less.  

I did try the Microsoft approved method, which was to run a utility that
chops off the file at 2G (you have to experiment to find out how much).
Chopped off data is lost forever.  Then you run scanpst and it can recover
some of the data, but in the one I tried it lost all the folder names (it
had to make up new names).

Using easyrecovery resulted in two good PST's (it was over 2g so the output
couldn't fit into one).  Everything looked fine in the recovered PST files.

NAV for Exchange 5.5 is freaking out...

2003-06-03 Thread Alverson, Tom
I am running Exchange 5.5 sp4 on a win2k server.  I am running NAV for
Exchange version 2.18 and no other antivirus software on the server.  It has
been running fine for months without problems.  Today it started spewing the
two following errors to the screen over and over and over:

NAVEVAPI error
NAVEVAPI.DLL Internal Error.

A Microsoft Exchange store memory allocation has failed.

(C:\NAVMSE\Source\NAVEVAPI\NAVEVAPI.CPP, 675)



NAVEVAPI error
NAVEVAPI.DLL Internal Error.

Error Code = 0xc0090094, Additional = (null)

(C:\NAVMSE\Source\NAVEVAPI\NAVEVAPI.CPP, 1131)


I was also getting a bunch of alerts from my Blackberry server (running on a
different machine) that I believe were just a side effect of the NAV
broo-ha-ha.  The virus defs are the latest from yesterday 6-1-2003 rev2.  I
have seen these navevapi.dll errors sporadically (one ever couple of days)
but they did not seem to cause any problems.  Now the errors are occurring
about every second while the NAV service is running.  I stopped NAV for now
and have not seen any errors in the event log for about 15 minutes now
(including blackberry).

Has anyone seen this or does anyone have suggestions for getting NAV running
again??

Tom

RE: NAV for Exchange 5.5 is freaking out...

2003-06-03 Thread Alverson, Tom
Thanks for all the replies.  

I had tried stopping starting the service earlier but got the errors as soon
as it restarted.  I also just got a message that someone was having trouble
mailing a 7Meg PDF files to another exchange server in the same
orgainization but over a WAN link.  Maybe this email was causing NAV to
freak.

I had already downloaded the latest definitions but didn't update them right
away because they were the same.  I went ahead and ran the updater (the
exe) while NAV was stopped and also went into the two lastest definitions
directories and deleted a few files that were older than the definitions.
Somehow the old files get pulled into the new definition directory during an
update and I don't think they are needed.  As soon as I started the service
NAV moved the files from INCOMING to the dated directory and hasn't
complained yet.  

Hopefully this fixes it.  I am guessing that the problem was either the
definitions were messed up or something about the 7meg email was causing nav
to crash.

Tom,

We have the same setup here that you do.  

1)  I would take Nate's advice about stopping/starting the NAV services
first.  However, one piece of advice...Go logon locally to the machine and
do it from there.  What we have had happen is that we restart the services
via a remote session and it looks like it worked, but if you go logon
locally, we were seeing the the service hadn't restarted...weird.

2)  Nate and Bob are correct that it could very well be a corrupt .dat
file...go reinstall it.  We have had one instance here though where we had
to uninstall NAV and reinstall it.

HTH...let us know what worked.

I have seen where they will whack out and doing thill settle them down.

2) The other thing I have seen and you have alluded to it here is that the
virus DAT file may be corrupt resulting in NAV losing functionality.  When
this happened to me we downloaded the DAT from Symantec again and
reinstalled it.  This worked.  I have also had it happen where we had to go
back one version of the DAT because the current DAT was corrupt from
Symantec.  Or at least it was getting corrupted somewhere along the way
between Symantec and my server.  Either way we had to go back one.

I hope something here helps.

RE: NAV for Exchange 5.5 is freaking out...

2003-06-03 Thread Alverson, Tom
I haven't run in mapi only mode since that was the only way it had.  I did
find one KB article on symantecs site and they blamed the memory allocation
problem on exchange and just said to run perfwiz.  I guess I'll run perfwiz
tonight after everyone goes home and see if new definitions came out since
then.

Have you tried it in MAPI only mode?  Are there any other potentially
related events in the App or Sys logs?

Another possibility looming here is to uninstall and reinstall NAV for
Exchange.

  It's doing it again...
  
  After the below changes NAV ran for about 10 minutes and then gave 
  me
 the
  error messages once.   It then ran another 10 minutes and started giving
  me
  the errors about every 2 minutes.  I shut down NAV again for a while.  
  I guess I'll start it up again later tonight and see how it goes.  
  Symantec will probably have newer definitions available by then.

  Thanks for all the replies.  
  
  I had tried stopping starting the service earlier but got the errors 
  as soon as it restarted.  I also just got a message that someone was 
  having trouble mailing a 7Meg PDF files to another exchange server 
  in the same orgainization but over a WAN link.  Maybe this email was 
  causing NAV to freak.
  
  I had already downloaded the latest definitions but didn't update 
  them right away because they were the same.  I went ahead and ran 
  the updater (the
  exe) while NAV was stopped and also went into the two lastest 
  definitions directories and deleted a few files that were older than 
  the
 definitions.
  Somehow the old files get pulled into the new definition directory 
  during an update and I don't think they are needed.  As soon as I 
  started the service NAV moved the files from INCOMING to the dated 
  directory and hasn't complained yet.
  
  Hopefully this fixes it.  I am guessing that the problem was either 
  the definitions were messed up or something about the 7meg email was 
  causing nav to crash.

  Tom,
  
  We have the same setup here that you do.  
  
  1)  I would take Nate's advice about stopping/starting the NAV 
  services first.  However, one piece of advice...Go logon locally to 
  the machine and do it from there.  What we have had happen is that 
  we restart the services via a remote session and it looks like it 
  worked, but if you go logon locally, we were seeing the the service 
  hadn't
 restarted...weird.
  
  2)  Nate and Bob are correct that it could very well be a corrupt 
  .dat file...go reinstall it.  We have had one instance here though 
  where we had to uninstall NAV and reinstall it.
  
  HTH...let us know what worked.

  1) While you may have done this already. Stop and restart the NAV

  I have seen where they will whack out and doing thill settle them down.
  
  2) The other thing I have seen and you have alluded to it here is 
  that the virus DAT file may be corrupt resulting in NAV losing 
  functionality.  When this happened to me we downloaded the DAT from 
  Symantec again and reinstalled it.  This worked.  I have also had it 
  happen where we had to go back one version of the DAT because the 
  current DAT was corrupt from Symantec.  Or at least it was getting 
  corrupted somewhere along the way between Symantec and my server.
  Either way we had to go back one.
  
  I hope something here helps.

Outlook could not log on. Check to make sure you are connected to the

Contact your system administrator if the problem persists.

Can ping the Exchange server by name and by IP.

 Try add winnt\system32\drivers\etc in the HOSTS
   file give a line for exchange:
IP ADDRESSCOMPUTER_NAME


Still can't connect 

System: Windows 2000 Workstation

OutlookXP

Exchange Server 5.5 SP4

Anyone got another solution?

EX55: Message processing failed because there is not enough avail able memory

2003-03-11 Thread Alverson, Tom
On an exchange 5.5 sp4 server running on win2k, the IMC shut down because
the IS complained that:
Message processing failed because there is not enough available memory
(EVENT ID 12800).

This was followed by events 4182 and 4102 (ims shutting down due to serious
error i.e. 12800)

There was one message in the inbound directory of the IMC and it would not
start until I removed that message.  There was nothing unusual about that
message, it was one that BLAT had generated from a backup process I have
scheduled.  After that restart, it ran for a while and then choked on two
other messages.  One was another BLAT message and the third was a MPEG movie
somebody had mailed in (probably a funny one, I haven't looked at it).  All
3 messages were about 10k bytes in length.

MS has a knowledgebase article about this problem: (or something very close)


http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q325939

Which says:

If the Internet Mail Service receives a malformed inbound Internet message,
the Internet Mail Service may log event ID 12800, 4182, 4102, and 1001 error
messages in the Application event log, and then stop responding.

RESOLUTION
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to
computers that are experiencing this specific problem.


The fix is a new store.exe version 5.5.2656.60.  I am currently running
store.exe 5.5.2654.50 (a post sp4 fix).  After zapping those 3 emails, the
IMC has been running for about an hour now with no problems (and it has
never had a problem before).  Does anyone have any insight on this problem?
If it happens again I will call MS and request the patch, as it is not
available for download.

Tom

In exchange 5.5, you can create a distribution list with no members that

In Exchange 5.5 it was easy to create a mailbox that was simply a
black-hole.  This was done by selecting to forward the mail for that mailbox
to an alternate address, but leaving the address field blank.

Is this possible in Exchange 2k?  If I select the forwarding address option
and don't select an address (contact) then it reverts the setting.

Anyone know a way to create a black-hole for mail with Exch2K?

Thanks,

EX55: problem routing by email domain to multiple mail hosts

2003-03-11 Thread Alverson, Tom
On our Exchange 5.5 server we are using DNS for most outbound mail to
determine where the message is routed to.  We have a VPN link with another
division that we use to encrypt emails over the internet.  It appears that
you can only specify a single address to route the mail to per domain.  Is
there some way to have it try multiple addresses in the event of a failure?
The only thing I can think of is to have our DNS person hard code these
special routes into the MX records so we do not end up using the MX
records on the root servers.

I have a customer who has been connecting to our Exchange servers just fine
with MAPI Outlook, across the Internet.

They have been receiving new PCs from Dell that are already preconfigured
with Windows XP SP1.

And for some reason users on those PCs cannot connect to Exchange anymore.

I asked him to check the XP's built-in firewall. He says it is disabled.

I did an RPC Ping test with him. From old PCs RPC Ping worked fine. But it
failed on the new XP SP1 PCs.

What else could there be wrong with XP SP1 that would kill RPCs?

Thanks for any ideas!

PST over 2Gig repair notes...

2003-02-20 Thread Alverson, Tom
We had a user try to clean up his server mailbox by dragging everything into
his PST.  He is using Outlook 2000, which was quite happy to stuff messages
into the PST until it was destroyed.  The error message you get is to try
the inbox repair tool.  I found the one that came with the office 11 beta
(that was part of the free exchange 2003 cd pack) hoping it might be
better than older versions.  It was not.  It could not do any good so I then
used the 2Gig chop off tool (PST2gb.exe).  This tool basically says try
chopping off part of the file and see if scanpst will work.  If it doesn't,
they try chopping off a little more and repeat...

Well once I chopped off enough for scanpst to work it came up with a
repaired PST that looked pretty grim.  There were some folders with made
up folder names, and some subfolders that still had their original names.

I googled around a little looking for pst repair and downloaded ONTRACK's
file repair thing (demo).  The demo worked its way through the PST and then
claimed to have repaired a bunch of folders (with the correct names) on the
original oversized PST (no chopping required).  I then shelled out $500 for
the full ONTRACK easyrecovery pro thing (could have just bought the file
recovery part for $340) and let it work.  It produced one 2G pst and one
smaller pst that looked pretty good.  I gave those back to the user and
haven't heard any complaints yet about lost mail etc, so it looks like the
utility is pretty good.

Is there any way to prevent Outlook 2000 from overstuffing a PST??  I am
pretty sure that Outlook 2002 pops up a warning or something when you are
about to get into trouble.  It seems like this huge flaw in outlook should
have been addressed by a service pack.

Blackberry still (partially) down?

We still have 2 blackberry users who are not receiving messages.  Mine
started working last night at about 8:00pm.  A few were fixed today by doing

There are still 2 units that have messages pending.  Aether tech support
claims that some are still backlogged and we should just wait a while.  They
cannot even receive APB's or pin to pin messages (in addition to not
receiving messages from the blackberry enterprise server).  Maybe these two

Office 11 beta broke my Blackberry Intellisync???

2003-02-14 Thread Alverson, Tom
I got the free CD set (paid for shipping) with exchange2003, server2003
and office2003 betas.  I loaded the office beta on my desktop PC and now
(maybe coincidentally or not) I can no longer sync in the cradle.  When I go
to the PIM settings it will not allow me to select outlook as a choice
(the OK button is greyed out) for the notepad, mail or tasks.  The calendar
is still set to wireless sync which is working.  Our BES server is 2.1 sp5
and I just loaded the 3.5a desktop on my pc to see if that helped (it did
not).  I did load the 3.5 desktop on another pc with office 2000 loaded and
the unit will sync up fine on that machine.  Can anyone confirm that the
problem is between office 11 beta and the blackberry desktop??  I'm sure
Aether would just tell me to uninstall the beta software.

RE: connect to exchange over vpn

2003-02-13 Thread Alverson, Tom
It could also be an MTU problem (see recent discussion on the list).

If it is MTU related, you keep pinging with some command line options (no
frag and vary the ping packet size) and see how large you can make the
packet before it fails.  Then download and use doctor-tcp to set the MTU
for that interface.  Dr-tcp just makes it easy to set the registry for the
custom MTU size.  The MTU setting is in a registry tree below the name of
the network interface (which varies from machine to machine) so you can't
just merge a REG file to set the MTU.

Blackberry/Cingular down

2003-02-13 Thread Alverson, Tom
We are not getting any Blackberry messages in or out of the network right
now (this afternoon).  I called Aether and they said the problem was not on
our end.  It sounded like the problem was with Cingular, and he had no idea
when it would be fixed.

RE: BE 9

2003-01-29 Thread Alverson, Tom
Be advised that the MSDE (Sql server) that ships with BE9 is the old
unpatched vulnerable code.  If you install BE9 you should immediately update
the ssnetlib.dll file that they install or you could become part of the
latest SQL virus party.

I know this because I just installed the BE9 eval and then the next day I
was scanning for the SQL vulnerability with EEYE's free utility and It found
the machine with BE9 on it.  There is an app note on the Veritas web site
admitting the problem and telling you to go to Microsoft for the patches.

RE: Pole on largest PRIV.EDB size?

2003-01-23 Thread Alverson, Tom
Our PRIV.MDB is about 35Gig.  On our old server we used Backup Exec 7.3
(w/exchange option) and a Sony AIT tape drive that stores 35/70G of data.
On our new replacement server (same PRIV being moved over) we are using
NTBACKUP to both tape and hard drive.  I do the hard drive backup first,
then back up to an HP Ultrium 100/200G drive.  The hard drive is on the same
machine and is about twice as fast as the tape backup.  We are using the
half-height HP drive which is theoretically slower than the full height one.

You need a black hole DL. Create a hidden DL with no members and give it all

are no list members the message won't be delivered to anyone.

Because I watch the yellow bar on the performance monitor (outbound IMC)

Charles, 

I think what Chris is trying to say is, that's what an NDR is...REFUSING to 
accept mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED], because it doesn't exist, and 
trying to deliver notification of that fact to the original recipient. 
Exchange sends those notifications back to the originator with  as the 
sender. 

What she's asking for is a way to eliminate sending NDRs to nonexistant 
return addresses, which is why she sees e-mail backed up in the outbound Q, 
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], from .  Many times, those SPAM 
e-mails are sent to what used to be legitimate SMTP addresses within the 
organization, but which have since been deleted, due to an employee leaving 
the company.  Happens to me every day. 

So...Pete's initial suggestion to add the SMTP address of 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to the Blackhole DL when the employee leaves the 
company, is a legitimate and very good suggestion.

EX5.5: Move mailbox that is over 2Gig???

2003-01-21 Thread Alverson, Tom
I have set up a new Exchange5.5 server to replace an aging 5.5 server.  I
have been using Exmerge to backup mailboxes to PST files (in addition to the
daily backup) before moving mailboxes (just in case).  We have a few
mailboxes on the old server that are over 2gig in size.  Exmerge will not
put more than 2gig into the PST files, so I'm a little nervous about moving
these biggies without a brick style backup.  I will probably end up forcing
those users to clean up their inboxes but I was wondering if Move Mailbox
would have any issues with these big mailboxes?

complete backup to a tape every night.  I can still have the tapes offsite
etc, but now also have a much faster restore off of another hard drive.

Change to different organization without losing SIS??

2002-11-05 Thread Alverson, Tom
From what I understand of the Move Server Wizard and exmerge we would lose
SIS (Single Instance Storage) if we used the wizard (or any other method??)
to change our organization. (??)  We are currently running Exchange 5.5 and
our parent company (which we may need to change our organization to someday)
is also running 5.5 today.  Maybe we need to force everyone to remove their
mail from the server (to those robust PST files) before attempting a
changeover?

RE: Bulk creating Exchange 2000 mailboxes with CSVDE or ???

2002-10-15 Thread Alverson, Tom

Thanks for all the help!  I got the users created with CSVDE.  They start
life with no passwords and password must be changed at next logon checked.
I found an easy way to set all the passwords the same.  I downloaded a 30
day eval of Hyena which let me select all the test accounts and uncheck
the next logon box in one operation.  It also let me set all the passwords
at once (all to the same password).  

Thanks again for all the help.

Not true.  To set passwords all you need is account administrator rights (or
better).

I think the tough point he brought up is he wanted to also set the passwords
for each account. My understanding it is not straight forward using scripts
for AD. Hence the need for some 3rd party App.

You can't do it with a csv unless you also write the script that reads the
csv.

I know I have a script around here somewhere that does it.  There's one on
our web site that will create a single mailbox.  easy to modify for lots.
I'll see if I can dig up the one that does lots and post that too.
(http://www.swinc.com/resource/scripts.htm)  All my scripts use perl instead
of VB.  There are VB samples around too on MSDN and the Comp^h^h^h^hHP
ActiveAnswers web site (actually a good little set of scripts is available
there).

There may be a way via scripting but have found that there are many 3rd

RE: EX5.5 Move Mailbox only works in one direction???

2002-10-07 Thread Alverson, Tom

Same organization, same site, same domain, just different locations so the
inbound and outbound internet mail can be controlled.  Both exchange servers
services are using the same logon (a domain account).  No security events
are being logged when this fails, and all security failures are set to log.
I sucessfully moved all the accounts for the remote users last Friday by
doing it from the first site.

I just added a second exchange 5.5 server to our organization.  At first I
had it in the lab and just moved my own mailbox to is as a guinea pig.  They
were both in this building.  I then moved my mailbox back to the first
server and shipped the second one to a remote office connected by a VPN.  At
first NAV for exchange wasn't starting due to the changed IP address (they
are on a different subnet). I found the old IP in the registry and changed
it and now NAV starts.  I moved one user right away with no problems but
forget which server I did the move on (I remote control the other server).
Now today when I tried to move some more users, the progress screen would
just flash on the screen for a second and go away.  In the event log it just
had an ID 1800 error (could not move user doe, john) and no other
information or errors.  I tried a couple of mailboxes and got the same
result (this was on the remote server).  I then tried it on the first server
and it worked just fine there.  Very strange...

RE: Maximum number of email addresses in a single container??

2002-10-01 Thread Alverson, Tom

Thanks for your reply.  I have not had any problems since making this big
container.  I did try one foolish thing - I tried to import all these
addresses into a single outlook contacts folder.  The import was going fine
for a few minutes until outlook (2002) exploded (I hope they put me back on
the office beta again).  When I restarted outlook there were over 29000
addresses in the folder.  I then found that there is a 32000ish limit.
Seems like outlook should just say Folder Full or something else short of
crashing.

RE: Maximum number of email addresses in a single container??

2002-09-23 Thread Alverson, Tom

This is completely UN-automated.  I manually get the foreign addresses by
having a logon onto the parent company exchange network and using a
shareware thing called GAL-Exporter (I think it was about $40).  GAL
exporter can either export individual containers (of which there are way too
many to consider doing separately) or the Global list.  The exported
mailbox info is saved into an Access database file.  From Access, I then
export the file to a CSV (comma separated variable) file.  Before reading
this into EXCEL, I first had to split it into two parts because EXCEL can
only handle 64000 rows.  After reading it into excel, I deleted the columns
I did not need, and put the appropriate header line at the top and re-saved
it to CSV.  I also had to add the string SMTP: to the beginning of each
email address (or Target-Address in header-speak).  After adding a column
of SMTP:'s, I then used a text editor to replace SMTP:, with SMTP:
which merged this to the address column.  I then used the exchange
administrator to import all of these into a single container that I had just
created on the server.

Latest NAV for Exchange 5.5 ??

2002-09-11 Thread Alverson, Tom

I am running NAVMSE version 2.17 build 75 on my exchange 5.5 server.  Are
there any newer versions available for exchange 5.5?  I have background
scanning enabled (and combo mode) and still get errors (from outlook) when
sending emails with attachments.  Outlook tells me the delivery failed, and
the message seems to disappear for a while (does not even show up in sent
items) but after a few minutes it does get delivered OK (and then shows up
in sent items).  I probably just need a faster server as it seems that
outlook is timing out while the server struggles to keep up with scanning.
