Exchange upgrade
Hi guys, Particularly to Ed. I was going to use the Ed Crowley method of migrating my users Exchange server to 2000. Basically, they are running NT4 and Exchange 5.5 sp3 enterprise edition. What i want to do is bring up another exchange server on a (good spec) laptop running windows 2000, install exchange 5.5 exactly the same, apart from the name of course. Move all the mail and PFs to the laptop and have them use that, while i upgrade the NT server to 2000. Once done, i would replicate all the mail back to the original server Is that possible, or am i way of the mark here. thnx David CONFIDENTIAL NOTICE This communication contains information which is confidential and may also be privileged.

RE: Exchange upgrade
Hi I do have a test enviornment. I have a windows 2000 server running Exchange 5.5, with no problems at all so far, hence the reason for moving these guys of NT4, now i'm feeling confident in installing/configuring and running 5.5 in the AD enviornment. My main reason behind this was to avoid the tape restores and do it in a different way, mainly for my own experience.I have restored via tape in the past. I would like to do it while they work, and during the daytime for a change and maybe learn a little into the bargain. thnx David -- From: Sander Van Butzelaar[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 31 July 2003 13:15 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange upgrade Exchange 5.5 requires a ADC connector for linking it's mailbox accounts to the user names. That's about the only link it has with Windows 2000. As long as you have the three .edb files exchange 5.5 can be re-installed in a flash (provided your security accounts are there). I wouldn't bother with the double move. Your biggest thing is to sort out the exchange environment before you go to Windows 2000. No mailbox must have the same user account etc. Microsoft brought out some tools to check your 5.5 environment to check for this type of thing. I would worry more about doing the NT4 to Windows 2000 upgrade properly then Exchange 5.5. Rather make the laptop a NT4.0 BDC so that you have a set of NT4.0 user accounts for worst case scenario. I take it you have no test environment to test and document your move on.

RE: Brick level backups
Thnks for that :) David -- From: William Lefkovics[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 18 June 2003 11:19 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Brick level backups I probably should reread this, but this was my answer to this question A year ago - plus an added point. Why not to do Brick Level Backups: 1) They take a lng time. At my last position, the priv.edb on several Exchange servers was huge with several mailboxes exceeding 2GB. Backup windows of 'July' is not acceptible nor necessary. 2) Brick Level break SIS in the process. At a previous employer we had an SIS ratio of 4 (lots of little daily cash spreadsheets and the like getting sent to DL's). This means that a BLB backup uses as much as 4 times the total tape. Now I need an autoloader to take care of the boxes of tapes required each night. 3) You can't perform a full server restore to point of failure with brick level backups. You have to actually perform additional full online backups as well to allow for full disaster recovery. More tapes. More time. More money. 4) A restore of several mailboxes from BLB's will cause the store to grow because of no SIS. If my SIS ratio is 2 and some disaster leaves me with only brick-level, my restore will double the size of the priv. 5) The redundant backups for brick level lower the overall performance of your exchange server as backups compete with users for CPU cycles and disk reads. It is also additional and unnecessary wear and tear on tape drives. 6) Brick Level Backups do not backup items in deleted item retention. As my users (for email anyway) have always been of the educated variety, they know and use deleted item recovery as needed. 7) A restore of a mailbox is seldom needed. (Probably the only instance is inadvertant deletion by an administrator in Exchange5.5) With deleted item retention set to a reasonable 30 days or so, and with deleted mailboxes retained in Exchange2000, brick level backups fall in the category of a waste of time and resources. 8) Backups should not be a helpdesk support option. They are a disaster recovery requirement. With all that tape and time, the convenience of having someone restore my mailbox is so simple I can be more careless with my email. I can always get my info restored. The Potential for user complacency because we can always restore uses Valuable IT time and resources. 9) Yes, it's true. For me, I have only done this using ArcServeIT. Because of comments here in this and other forums, CA took the Exchange agent back to the lab and did some more fixing on it. For me it was too little too late. Basically, BLB's are not perfect. Data is not perfectly recreated through the restore process. Problems included header info missing, digitally signed emails corrupt, attachments missing. 10) Many, many more reputable and experienced people have shared their horror stories over and over in this and other forums and newsgroups. So much so that I was relieved to learn in 1998 that it wasn't just me that felt this way. The people that have expressed this opinion I hold in high regard and certainly owe it to myself to try to understand why the concensus is for or against something. 11) Microsoft provides the utility ExMerge which can be used to backup a single mailbox to .pst if necessary. I use this as the last step before deleting a users mailbox after (s)he have left the company. It is a simplified, granular alternative for certain circumstances. 12) Exchange2003 allows for a disaster recovery storage group to allow Production restores without a recovery server. The above may not all apply to you. Would you like to see the list against the use of 'confidentiality disclaimers'?

Exchange and OWA setup
Hi Guys, I wonder if you can advise me on this set up i'm planning for a 15 user company. Existing setup: One server with a broadband connection (512k) running NT4/Exchange 5.5/Winroute proxy and is multihomed for the broadband connection. Currently its used for around 15 connections for Exchange and general file and print aswell as Internet access. 5 VPN connections are also hosted. They now have asked if i can set up OWA for them. I'm reluctant to set up OWA on the existing server as its this machine that's open and i have suggested moving Exchange off this box and on to another server, which i will then put OWA up and other services such as FTP. I will use Win2000 server, as its time to also upgrade the OS. I will then continue to use Exchange 5.5 Questions: What do u think? Are there any issues i should be aware off with say routing?

Very strange problems occuring
Hi people, We have a very strange problem here with our users. They are working with exchange client and Exchange server 5.5 in an NT 4 domain. One by one they seem to be losing their connections to exchange server. When i go and have a look, i realise they are experiencing packet loss from the ping tests i've done. I realise this my be the wrong group to post to, but recently we have changed all our switches from 3comm to Extreme. Users have now got 100mb to the desktop..this is when we started experiencing these issues. Strange thing is though, if i swap the network card with an identical one, the problem goes away, mostly..or if i put them back on to an old 3comm switch running at 10mbit. Its a long shot...but has anyone come accross this type of problem before? I'm just about to go and buy some new NICs David Sorry if u believe this is the wrong group to send to, but i think there are some good people in this list.

If they don't work at 100MBit try setting them to 10Mbit and see if that works for reference sake. If 100MBit doesn't work but 10MBit does, check the cabling and associated wiring stuff (patch leads, sockets etc.) the *whole* way from the switch to the PC. Easy way to circumvent this for testing is by using a long Cat 5 patch lead. If your wiring is certified and installed for Category 5 or above then you're OK for 100MBit. If its Cat 3 or Cat 4 you might be getting trouble from there. I've seen some odd behaviour from cable problems with certain net cards (connections start off OK and then degrade until they're unuseable).

They are working with exchange client and Exchange server 5.5 in an NT 4 domain. One by one they seem to be losing their connections to exchange server. When i go and have a look, i realise they are experiencing packet loss from the ping tests i've done. I realise this my be the wrong group to post to, but recently we have changed all our switches from 3comm to Extreme. Users have now got 100mb to the desktop..this is when we started experiencing these issues. Strange thing is though, if i swap the network card with an identical one, the problem goes away, mostly..or if i put them back on to an old 3comm switch running at 10mbit. Its a long shot...but has anyone come accross this type of problem before? I'm just about to go and buy some new NICs David Sorry if u believe this is the wrong group to send to, but i think there are some good people in this list.

Exchange, Outlook and speed
Hi guys, I have a situation where Outlook is very slow over a VPN connection. If i give u a bit of history, on how i set this up then perhaps you can tell me where i went wrong. Firstly, we have an office here in the UK where Exchange 5.5 server is running on a PDC, they can only afford one server, so everything runs on it. During the day, they have around 8 - 10 users connect locally to it for their daily work. They only really use it for mail and Internet access, and a bit of file/print. Last year i upgraded their Internet link to ADSL and put up a proxy (winroute), Everything was working fine. The director has since move to New York to set up an office over there, and i set up his laptop to VPN in to the server for his mail. Now he has set up an additional 3 users in this office who also use the VPN to get mail and at times things can get slow. I told him using the Internet for transport, is gonna be slow at times due to the nature of the Internet. However, i know i can speed things up because of the way i initially set things up. Name resolution seems to be my biggest headache. I have no DNS set up and use Netbui for name resolution, so i guess this is gonna add to the overhead. Thus RAS has TCP/IP and NETBUEI enabled Laptops in NY have TCP/IP and NETBUEI enabled UK users are ok and have no problems. I would like to speed things up a bit for the NY users. I'm also confused with binding orders on the server and to what interfaces i should bind all these protocols to. The server has 2 nics, one for the local net and the other goes to the router for the ADSL, i guess i only need to bind this side right? I guess DNS would be the best way forward for name resolution, but as i say i have no DNS server locally. All mail arrives at a different domain (their web site host) who then forward it to another domain, to pop 3 mail boxes which i then get a program (igetmail) to pick up and deliver to exchange server. When i ping the routers external and internal interfaces i get the IP address and it resolves back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The question i want to ask, is what is the best way for me to set this up for a quicker connection for outlook. How do i set up the DNS on the router! Any advice would be appreciated. David CONFIDENTIAL NOTICE This communication contains information which is confidential and may also be privileged.

RE: Exchange and PPTP + VPN
Thanks Amy, I'll check that artical out today. -- From: ExchangeAdminList[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Reply To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 13 August 2002 22:50 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exchange and PPTP + VPN Have a look at Q163576. We have run into similar problems with Outlook not responding although all network connectivity is present. As you said, we could ping the Exchange server, establish network connectivity to other servers, but could not get into Outlook. Many times reloading the TCP/IP protocol fixes the problem but since this is VPN, reloading will not help anything. When I ran into this issue with a VPN connection, I wound up changing the RPC binding order in the registry per the Q article and ensuring the rpcrt4.dll was registered correctly under the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols. We also noticed that the rpcrt4.dll had become corrupt so after replacing this .dll with a good copy, we were able to access Outlook. This took a lot of trial and error to get the exact steps, but it was a relief when it fixed the problem.

RE: Exchange and PPTP + VPN
Yes Paul, He can telnet via netbios name and by ip. A couple of things maybe u should also know is that, in the Outlook profile it can't even resolve an IP address, if i enter that instead of the Netbios name. DNS is not really used for name resolution for the server that has PPTP installed. It does however have Netbieu installed for name resolution. I did it this way because Exchange is not Internet facing, i have a pop mailer picking up mail from another domain. So basically i'm using Netbieu over IP for name resolution. I also tried using outlook, to dial up using the VPN connection, however i couldn't get this to work.

RE: Exchange and PPTP + VPN
One thing i did notice when examining the routing tables was there was no route for the VPN server. I saw a default gateway of 192.168.1.52. However, on the modem connection there was a network route also like this: 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.52 I thought tonight i might add this in manually.c what happens! -- From: William E.

Exchange and PPTP + VPN
Hi everyone, I've been having this problem for some time and was wondering if anyone could help me with it. I have this NT4 server with PPTP installed plus some VPN connections. The staff can now dial into their local ISP and can open Outlook client and get their mail. They can also browse the shares, fine so far. However, recently the director went to NY and is sharing someones office over there which has DSL in place. He uses this link to make the VPN connection, which works no problem, until he tries to open Outlook, which freezes everytime! He can dial in to the server using a normal phone line which works fine. I guess its a routing problem, i have disabled the setting on his VPN connection use default gateway but this makes no difference. He is using Windows ME on a laptop. I myself have ADSL installed at home and it works for me no problem. The network he is connected/using seems a simple setup, just a hub that he plugs into and i guess a NAT box that gives him an ip address. Any thoughts guys?
