It looks like that the cluster works as far as when one shuts down a node the passive node takes over the services of that node, or even when the network cable is unplugged. However, there are three qustions that I have not been able to answer or find any on, would anyone have any insight, any help would be appreciated? they are: 1. when one node is shut down, the services are seen in the cluster administrator to be taken over by the passive node Should not the services fall back to the original node when it is on line again? Or must this be done manually which then does it not mean that the serivces to be moved must first be taken offline and then the ownership moved which defeats clustering purpose? 2. When the node which had taken over all the services was shut down , I got errors that MTA data could not be saved and looking at the cluster administrator on the first node it says that the cluster has failed! But should not the first node server take over immediately (10 secs)? 3. In all the papers that I read, it is mentioned that if one has a front-end server that on each exchange virtual node an HTTP connection be mapped to the front-end. Follwing the procedure of creating the HTTP, I can not start the service unless I take offline the automatically created HTTP service which was created when Exchange SA was installed by the server itself!

RE: offline address book; object not found
Yanek, I just completed a similar issue. I also had seen the article you mention about resetting the system folders. This seemed like a bad idea to me. I called PSS and they walked me through a process which resolved the issue. I don't think I could recreate all the steps, and your situation is diferent than mine. I don't think the problem will go away when you switch to native mode. It is time to call Microsoft.

I'm having a problem with Outlook 2002 users. When Send/Receive runs, The following error appears: Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server' reported error (0x8004010F); 'The operation failed. An object could not be found' In the Synchronization log, it's reported: [time] Microsoft Exchange offline address book [time]0x8004010F So I went to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and typed in 0x8004010F which returns article number 289969. This points out that when you're offline and you try to send/receive you can get that error. But I'm online. So, I visit the link at the bottom of that page to article 273364. This claims that if the Exchange 2000 Server computer that is responsible for generating the offline address list is uninstalled and there is no replica of the Oab folder I should reset the system folders. This raises several questions and causes me to provide more background. Apart from free time, I'm ready to go to native mode. I have one 5.5 server which is still collecting mail and sending it to this e2k server. I've set the free/busy folder and the two subfolders under offline address book (in the system folders) to replicate to the 2000 server. So the e2k server should have this information, yes? I tried re-homing the folders to the e2k server which didn't seem to help either. Is this a problem that will go away when I move to native mode? Does this relate to the fact that the ORG and SITE names were different initially on the 5.5 server? (right before starting the migration I renamed the org and site on the 5.5 server to remove the old company and rename the site) Or, it is all hopeless and I have to follow the procedure outlined in Q275171. Should I wait until I'm in native mode? What are the ramifications of creating new site folders? Will this break anything or cause the loss of any data?

There is another angle I wanted to approach - and that was, if other people on the network could benefit from this guy's lists - would it be wise to possibly move all his list folders into the Public Folders? Then put indexing on the Public Folders - which would radically increase the speed when he performs searches for certain topics. Also, if we were to make these Public Folders, would it be possible to make a server rule, in which instead of this guys mailing list mail going into his personal mail store on the server, that it could be routed to the appropriate sub folder in the Public Folders. That way, you get the benefits of indexing, public availability, and replication if one wanted to do so. If we wanted to take that route, that could be a realistic move right?

He is a VERY valuable Network Tech and Programmer, and depends very much on all of his e-mail, and archived messages from all the lists he's on. This guy literally has 7 gigs of mail that he totes around with him, because he wants the security of knowing that wherever he goes, he will have his valuable mail threads that he can follow, if he ever gets into a pinch. He purposely uses POP3 to get his mail, and keeps his mail using Personal Message stores (in case the Exchange 2000 Server is down or unavailable). Well, we need to find a better way to do this, because this guy has THREE concurrent systems running Outlook 2000 (one at Home, Office and Condo) - and he does this, in order to keep 3 simultaneous copies of his e-mail, in case any of his systems blow up. I actually like his redundant setup, because it's gotten him out of a few jams in the past - and this poor guy has lost mail in the past due to our Exchange Admin guy being an idiot. We need to instill confidence back into this guy, and get him a solid Exchange 2000/Outlook solution that will deliver to him, Online AND Offline Access to his e-mail. In addition to that, we need to manage 7-gigs of mail files on his hard drive as well. Outlook has always had difficulties with the 2-gig file size barrier - so I am not sure how we can deal with his Offline Folders. What would be the BEST way, to move ALL 7 gigs of his mail to the Exchange Server, and have him exclusively use Outlook 2000 (using the Exchange Client)? I was thinking, we could copy all his .pst files up to the Server, use Server Rules to move all his mail into the appropriate subfolders as mail continually flows in, and then use Offline Folders on his local machines - so he can still access his mail when the server is down or offline. I would LOVE to hear the experts jump in on this, and please help me out. I am under LOTS of pressure to make this scenario work, and I am pretty confident it can be done - but need some direction from the experts.

One thing that ntbackup will do that I have not been able to do with Veritas is backup to a file. With Ntbackup, I can do a full backup to another hard drive and then another second complete backup to a tape every night.

We were initially told to move from three E5.5 servers to 1 clustered Dell SAN. My first comment was 'what if this unbreakable setup breaks in a way that the diagnostics on the SAN doesn't detect a problem... I'll end up with 8700 people without e-mail'... I was told that can't happen... well, it did... I did at least 6 recoveries in a 12 month span with 2 being all 8700 mailboxes and the others being 4300 each time. This FINALLY convinced the people with money that this wasn't a smart strategy and they finally allowed me to move back to the 'many small servers' approach that I prefer... yes, I take a hit on SIS (8700 mailboxes on currently 6 production servers... I'm backing up 200GB nightly.. full backups)... since our move back to off-the-shelf (but MS HCL hardware) servers, we've had no outages. Those in our org that are still using the Dell/Cluster approach continue to experience constant problems. John is a little off with his description... this is our current approach and it seems to work very well in my test restores. (this was developed during my nightmare, er experience with the recoveries of last year). We keep an offline restore domain that contains our recovery servers... these same servers are the target for my backups of the production servers... this way in the case of a restore I am running the restore from the local drive on the recovery server as opposed to over the network or from tape (we backup to files on hard drive). We also dump VIP mailboxes to PST files nightly (perl script that uses exmerge... 93 mailboxes) Restore steps with our config... this is based on a couple MS whitepapers... I can dig them up if anyone is interested (don't remember the titles) 1. production db or sg goes down. 2. determine if the db/sg can be remounted without data loss... if not, continue. 3. copy production TLOGS to a safe location on the recovery server for that production server. 4. reset the dbs on the production server so that the people on these dbs now at least have mail service back (empty mailboxes) 5. Start restore of dbs on the recovery server. (making sure not to checkmark 'last backup' or 'mount db'... start exmerge of VIP mailboxes back into the reset mailboxes on the production server. 6. Once the restore completes, copy the production TLOGS into the templog dir and run eseutil /cc against the location that has the restore.env file (templog location) this now gets your restored db back to the point in time just before the crash. 7. Mount the restored db on the recovery server to make sure all is well... if so, dismount and copy this restored db back to the production server as a different name (priv1.edb.rst for example) 8. Once all restored dbs are copied to the production server, dismount the reset dbs and rename them. (mark

RE: Clustering Exchange
I think the general opinion on this list is don't do clusters. I am currently working to implement a cluster and it does add an additional level of difficulty. In my opinion, if you are going to use a cluster, an N+1 senario does give you the cluster technology with less hardware expense. It does seem to an an additional layer of complexity when you are initially setting up the cluster. Dennis -Original Message- From: Callan, Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 10:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Clustering Exchange Okay, we have been beating our heads around looking for a cluster option that will work for us, obviously Active/Active was shot down, because of the memory fragmentation, even though initially MS told us it could be done, for the meantime we are looking to just go Active/Passive, I was wondering though what the general consensus on going N+1 is. We are going to explore the possibility to go to this, but I wanted to get some opinions on it first.

RE: PDA recommendations for access to Exchange 2000 mailboxes
We are considering MS MIS. Is there anything you don't like about it?

I believe it's made for access to mailboxes via Handhelds and Mobile Phones. The site used to be loaded with marketing crap so I couldn't find any hard facts. We don't officially support PDAs, but I (and a few others) use a PocketPC 2002 based Compaq set up to sync to my Outlook, and that works OK. I use it mostly for Tasks and Calender items, which work fine. We've had a few problems with e-mail formatting though. -Original Message- From: Pennell, Ronald B.

Subject: PDA recommendations for access to Exchange 2000 mailboxes Has anyone had any experiences with using PDA's for accessing user mailboxes? Our company is starting to research use of PDA's. So far I have done some research on the BlackBerry site. Any recommendations as to server software for E2K SP2.

RE: Antivirus software for exchange.

RE: Incoming Mail not working
Jonathan, Do you have a copy of the NDR? Dennis -Original Message- From: Jonathan [mailto:jwright;spectore.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 10:55 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Incoming Mail not working I have setup exchange2k in AD domain environment behind a pix firewall . I am able to send email using my exchange server but for some reason I am not able to receive anything. Here is the criteria of my setup. 2 DNS server with AD Intergrated Zones. 2 primary zones created domain.com and domain.org. Exchange 2k with default settings. domain.org is registered with internic as having a primary dns that points to my 2 internal DNS servers using public IP addresses. domain.com is registered with internic as having a primary dns that points to an external dns servers hosted by a consulting company. I've double checked all possibilities. I can send email using Exchange2K to myself and receive the message. When I use an outside email account to send to the excange server I get an undelivered mail message: unknown host: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. When I check my transaction logs I don't get any messages pertaining to incoming mail. How else can I troubleshoot my incoming mails. Is there any step that I'm missing between registering my dns servers with internic to setting up my pixfirewall? Please list some other variables that may resolve my incoming mail.
