slightly OT: ExchangeServer stops every 10 minutes (Active Directory issue?)

2002-05-29 Thread Elmer Stöwer

I already posted this one to W2K diskussion group. Nobody replied. I think it is an AD 
issue but it affects mainly our E2K-Server. So maybe someone here has an idea. This 
really drives me crazy...

Situation:
--
Two 2K-AD-Servers (one of them Exchange and global catalogue server). Both upgraded 
from NT half a year ago,
One Site, one Domain.
15 W2K and one XP clients.

Problem:

The Exchange/global catalogue server stands about every 10 minutes for about 45 
seconds. No response on any click, nor it is possible to work with outlook 'on' that 
server for the 45 seconds.

According to the event log I had a couple of issues with user rights in local security 
(power user etc.) (SceCli every 8 minutes). I followed the Microsoft guides and 
removed the group entries from local security policy.

No I don't have any event log entries anymore, but the problem persists.

speculation of Cause/Solution?
--
I guess that there is still a problem with AD. On the second server I can see issues 
in the AD replication monitor for the first server. Objects could not be replicated 
due to access failure.

On the Exchange/global catalogue server in the registry in 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Replica 
Sets\d5c32359-0ee1-42a9-8bac72a28682a096 I found a wrong path for ...\sysvol\domain. 
It points to an non existing directory.
So it seems that active directory is not able to find active directory.

I did not want to correct it via the registry. There must be a better way to correct 
wrong path settings for the active directory container.

Here is the main question
-
I appreciate any hint how to fix the ntfrs/AD settings on that machine. Where are path 
settings stored? Is it necessary to use DC promo to remove and add the server from/to 
the domain or is there an easier way to fix it?

Best Regards

Elmer [glad that the machines are still running under these circumstances]

RE: Outlook hangs when creating a certain rule

2002-03-13 Thread Elmer Stöwer

Good idea. We are getting closer... Inspirated by your mail I tried it from scratch 
this time.

Systemadminisitrator is the standard Exchange user which sends warning messages.

If you want to create a rule for a certain sender, you need adress book entry for this 
sender. It is impossible to create an adress book entry for the name 
Systemadministrator. It is possible to add an contact, but it won't show up in the 
adress book.

So this might be the cause.

Hmmm. Almost all mails have the word unzustellbar or undeliverable in the subject 
line. So probably this is a better approach. I will try.

Thank you for the help.

regards

Elmer

 Nice try, but outlook does not do verification of source routing while
 creating a rule.
 
 Elmer, how are you creating the rule? From scratch or do you 
 have an example
 message open and using that as a template?

 Elmer,
 
 From the point of view of someone who knows nothing about 
 E2K, could this be
 the problem?
 
 Does your Systemadministrator mailbox also have an SMTP addy of
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
 
 If so, is the word postmaster a reserved word in E2K?  If 
 it isn't, is it
 possible that trying to send to postmaster is actually 
 trying to send to
 the SMTP addy, thereby putting Outlook in a loop?

RE: Problem with Outlook after repairing windows

2002-03-07 Thread Elmer Stöwer

I have had the same idea and supposed it to my boss...

He told me something about increasing hardware prices and loss of money having unused 
hardware... And kicked me of his office.

Installing Windows and Office is defintely not the problem but most users have all 
theese small unnecessary tools, individually configured for their use. But fortunately 
it takes their time to reinstall. Its just this whimpering noise, which is so 
disturbing;)

RE: Problem with Outlook after repairing windows

2002-03-07 Thread Elmer Stöwer

We had quite a discussion about this issue. We have very few replacement parts (mostly 
old computer parts not used anymore). The idea is, if something breaks we order the 
parts. They are usually delivered on the next day (almost just in time;). We have half 
time workers so there is always an unused machine around. People share their computers.

Yes you are right. The wage for an employee not able to work in 'his' environment for 
a day is probably higher then the cost for unused hardware. But this is not my 
descision. We have only 20 employees here and so far hardware problems were allways 
managable. I am sure after an worse case scenario the management will change it's 
position.

   Of course, he's entirely right.  That's the same reason 
 that airlines and

different machines. Everything else works fine. Network is accessible.

Question:
Anyone had this issue before?
What is the cause?
how can I fix it?

Thank you for any help.

RE: Problem with Outlook after repairing windows

2002-03-05 Thread Elmer Stöwer

How can I delete an outlook profile? (the user is able to start outlook on different 
machines...)

Yes, we reinstalled Outlook!

what is ghost?

Everything else is fine so far. The user has a lot of applications and is using it 
frequently.

Thank you so far.

Elmer

RE: Problem with Outlook after repairing windows

2002-03-05 Thread Elmer Stöwer

Ah, yes... deleting the profile was the one of the first things I did.

Firing up Oulook, it complains that no service is configured and asks me to do it in 
the 'system settings', 'mail'...
so I open
system settings --
mail --
add --
Exchange Server

then I enter the server name
the user name
press 'test name' (translated from german).
Error 1: Information Store not available
press 'ok'
Error 2: Exchange Adress Book is not able to connect to the server. (something similar 
in german...)

:(

Maybe an RPC-Problem. I am just checking, but so far with no result.


Maybe I will check ghost, but what impact has a drive imaging application on 
Outlook/Exchange?

regards

Elmer

 make sure the user is not logged in anywhere first.  Go into Control
 Panel/Mail and delete the Exchange Server Component.  Fire up 
 Outlook, it
 should ask you which type of service you want to run, select 
 Exchange server
 and fill out dem boxes!

RE: Problem with Outlook after repairing windows

2002-03-05 Thread Elmer Stöwer

I do not think, that rpc is the problem. According to rpingc I have rcp problems on 
all machines:( But Files and settings are the same, also on the machine which has the 
connecting problems.

Any more Ideas? It is hard to tell the user that we have to completely reinstall his 
machine because Outlook is not working anymore.

RE: pop3 but no user on 2k

2002-03-04 Thread Elmer Stöwer

Having a test account for a software project. The software is sending and receiving 
mail to an account and doesnt need any other access rights.

So I have to create a fake user and to take care, that this user has no rights to any 
other ressource. Sometimes it is good to know that something is just not working as 
you think it would;)

Thanx for the reply

recipients policy, standard email adress

2002-02-28 Thread Elmer Stöwer

Hi,

E2K,
Win2K

Some of our email users have more then one email adress, e. g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Stoewer is the last name, so it should be the default adress when sending email for 
the company.

I set it as default adress in AD to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But Exchange/AD changes 
the default back to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I remove the checkbox 'automatic refresh with recipients policy' (sorry, badly 
translated from german) in the AD-Container for the user it keeps the new default 
adress. 

Why does Exchange change the default adress. I could find any policy which means 'use 
the first smtp-adress as default'. The policy is set to '@cyberconsult.de' as default.

Thanx for hints!

all the best

RE: recipients policy, standard email adress

2002-02-28 Thread Elmer Stöwer

'%s' in the recipient policy sounds brilliant to me. Exactly what I need to have 
almost no administration efford for new users. I will try this tomorrow.

I just wonder what more of these 'placeholders' (bad english, sorry) exist. %n is name?

Thanx a lot.

 Why don't you just make new default recipient policies as needed?
 
 i.e.  It looks like your default is @cyberconsult.de.  That 
 would give [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 Make a new one (which would automatically take precedence for 
 all users that the query captures) that lists first
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and @cyberconsult.de.  Then they get both 
 of them, and the %s (surname) one comes first.
 
 Otherwise you'll be editing email addresses for the rest of 
 eternity, rather than letting Exchange do it for you.

I found the recipient policies, but it did not do what I wanted. But now the problem 
is solved. Thank you.

 Subject: recipients policy, standard email adress
 
 
 Hi,
 
 E2K,
 Win2K
 
 Some of our email users have more then one email adress, e. g.
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 Stoewer is the last name, so it should be the default adress when
 sending email for the company.
 
 I set it as default adress in AD to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But
 Exchange/AD changes the default back to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 When I remove the checkbox 'automatic refresh with recipients policy'
 (sorry, badly translated from german) in the AD-Container for the user
 it keeps the new default adress. 
 
 Why does Exchange change the default adress. I could find any policy
 which means 'use the first smtp-adress as default'. The 
 policy is set to
 '@cyberconsult.de' as default.
 
 Thanx for hints!
 
 all the best

RE: ex5.5 -- E2K problems within migration.

2002-02-13 Thread Elmer Stöwer

bingo.

I don't use ssl so far (planing to), but I changed the standard port of IIS to get it 
accessible via port forwarding on our firewall. I just tried to change it to port 80 
again and voilá, system manager works. Now I just have to find a better way for the 
port redirection (will read the Qs).

Thanks a lot!

  Hi Exchange gurus,
  
  First of all, sorry for my English. It is also hard to 
  translate German
  error messages.
  
  We are trying to migrate to E2K and can't access the public 
  folders with
  the system manager.
  
  Before I started:
  - WinNT PDC existed (single domain)
  - Exchange 5.5 on BDC
  
  Here is what I have done:
  1. upgraded PDC to 2K mixed mode.
  2. Installed Win2K on a new server (DC mixed mode)
  3. set up DNS and configured AD (still single domain)
  4. run forestprep on new server as domain admin.
  5. run domainprep on new server as domain admin.
  6. installed E2K on new server as domain admin.
  7. installed the EAD connector.
  8. establish CA agreements between the Ex 5.5 server and the 2000
  exchange server  (single direction). 
  9. move mailboxes (trouble with
  MAPI problems). 
  10. 'clean up' user on 5.5 server 
  11. try to change 'stammserver' (whatever the English word 
 is... Host
  Server?) for public folders in 5.5 Admin to new 2K server. 
  Did not work.
  12. doing research... 
  13. repeated step 4,5,7, 8 (#8 this time both direction
  different container) 
  14. clean up AD 
  14. found out that some objects of public folders disappeared. 
  15. change server for public folders 
  16. testing with outlook. works 
  17. changed domain to single mode (don't ask why... stupid)
  
  Now I want to remove the first (5.5) Exchange server, 
  following Q284148

Backup on Exchange 2000 after migration

2002-02-13 Thread Elmer Stöwer

At last I removed our E5.5 Server. We have a single domain now, one Exchange 2000 
Server on w2k server with GC and about 20 users. Native mode.. Pretty simple and 
easy:) Everything works fine so far.

Now I wanted to do the first backup of the new server. When I choose the exchange 
field in ntbackup, backup asks me for the servername. I chose the name of the server 
and... nothing happens (no difference from which machine I start it. Even locally it 
doesn't work). The box to choose exchange backup remains grey:(

We are running SP 2 on both E2K and W2K. In the MS help is a detailed description of 
the backup procedure with the note:
Warning   The version of Backup that is provided with Windows 2000 cannot be used with 
Exchange. Read the Release Notes before performing a backup or a restore. The Release 
Notes contain the most up-to-date information about installing updates and fixes for 
Exchange 2000.

Very funny. What release notes?

Any hint?

thanx

 You're trying to backup Exchange from a remote server using NTBACKUP?
 If that's so, run Exchange 2000 setup on that server but select the
 Administration Tools only.  That will extend NTBACKUP to do what you
 want.
 
 Using something other than NTBACKUP?  Then buy an Exchange agent for
 that tool.

Sorry, getting tired (it almost 10PM here...).

I installed the administration tools on a different machine and now I can see the

from 5.5.

RE: ex 5.5 -- ex 2000 ... install problems

2002-02-08 Thread Elmer Stöwer

Interesting...

I did the same steps here, and I have issue 2), too.
I also can't open the public folder in the system manager under our site 
(administration -- site -- folder -- public folder). I get the error message 
www-service not startet. I can open it, when I use the server folder instead 
(administration -- site -- newserver -- ...).
I hoped to get rid of it after removing the old server.

We are able to access our mailboxes and public folders via OWA (at least internal . 
External we still have FireWall issues, but only with public folders. ErrorMessage: 
-2147467259).

to issue 1)
We had mapi problems with some of the user's mailboxes. When I tryied to export them 
with exmerge I found out that the mailboxes had messages with invalid attachments in 
it. After deleting these messages, it worked fine.

All the best

 Here is what we have done ...
 
 -run forestprep at the top level of our forest as schema

 -run domainprep in the doamins that will be housing users and 
 the EX 2000
 server as domain admin of the respective domains
 -establish 2 way trusts between the NT4 domain and the

 -establish CA agreements between the Ex 5.5 containers and

 Everything we have tested works (i.e. creating mailboxes in the 2000,
 sending/recieving mail, Web access ..) EXCEPT these 3 things .
 
 1) whenever we try to move a mailbox from the 5.5 server to 
 the 2000 server
 we get an error that says ...
 
 An internal processing error has occurred. Try restarting 
 the Exchange
 System Manager or the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, or
 both.
 
 Both of which do nothing to resolve the problem 
 
 2) IIS admin server has stop errors on the public,exchange, 
 exchange admin
 folders with a status of The system could not find the path 
 specified ...
 even though you can browse to the path with IIS admin AND the 
 web access
 works just fine!
 
 3) If we apply sp2 to our exchange server, the virtual M 
 drive dissappears
 and several services don't start because they can't find the 
 information
 stores ...
 
 
 What did we do wrong? Should we go back and start again ?

  sending/recieving mail, Web access ..) EXCEPT these 3 things .
  
  1) whenever we try to move a mailbox from the 5.5 server to 
  the 2000 server
  we get an error that says ...
  
  An internal processing error has occurred. Try restarting 
  the Exchange
  System Manager or the Microsoft Exchange Information Store 
 service, or
  both.
  
  Both of which do nothing to resolve the problem 
  
  2) IIS admin server has stop errors on the public,exchange, 
  exchange admin
  folders with a status of The system could not find the path 
  specified ...
  even though you can browse to the path with IIS admin AND the 
  web access
  works just fine!
  
  3) If we apply sp2 to our exchange server, the virtual M 
  drive dissappears
  and several services don't start because they can't find the 
  information
  stores ...
  
  
  What did we do wrong? Should we go back and start again ? 
  
  Thanks in advance ...
  
  Mike

OT: Outlook: how to change a lot of contacts area codes in .pst-file

2002-02-07 Thread Elmer Stöwer

hi,

I was always wondering what is the proper way to enter area codes in Outlook. With or 
without leading '0'?
Now after almost 4 years private use I found out. I got a new mobile from siemens with 
software to synchronise with outlook. It can't dial any of my 350 contact numbers 
because of the leading '0' (e. g. +49 (030) ).

Now I am trying to find a way to get rid of the zeros. Something like a search and 
replace function for the area code fields in Outlook would be great. Anyone any idea 
how to do that with acceptable effort?

Thanx in advance

RE: Backing up with Windows 2000

2002-02-06 Thread Elmer Stöwer

Depending on the storage device you are using you should realy have a look at the 
mediapools in computer admininstration of w2k. It took me some time to find out, how 
and that tapes are controlled in a library in win2k.

Elmer

 Subject: Backing up with Windows 2000
 
 
 Does anyone have a batch file or command line they would be 
 willing to send
 me for using Windows 2000 backup.exe to back up my Exchange 
 5.5 server?
 
 Also, IF (hold on to your phasers this is only theoretical) 
 someone were
 dumb enough to do brick-level backups with someone's Exchange 
 Agent, would
 they be able to do that to Public Folders as well or just 
 mailboxes? Does
 this also hold true for Exchange 2000 or does everything change then?
 
 flinching
 
 Thanks!
 
 Chris

It probably has to be W2K Server?

 Subject: Exchange 5.5 on NT4 and W2K?
 
 
 Hello Everyone,
 
 Cunrrently I have three servers running NT4 SP6a and Exchange 
 5.5 SP4, two
 of these run connectors and one holds the Private and Public 
 information
 stores. I am planning to replace the computer that holds the 
 stores with a
 new one and was wondering if anyone could tell me if I would 
 run into any
 problems if I set it up with Windows 2000 SP2 and Exchange 5.5 Sp4?
 
 Thanks,
