Exchange Migration Sanity Check

2002-08-29 Thread Greg Marr

Hi,
 
Would really appreciate any advice on the following migration plan:
 
We currently have an Exchange 5.5 (SP4) server which is a BDC on a NT4.0
domain - lets call it NT4DOMAIN.  We have already created a Windows 2000
domain (W2KDOMAIN) and have migrated about half of the user accounts from
the NT4DOMAIN across to the new domain.  I have established a two way trust
relationship between the domains.
 
Now, we need to migrate the E5.5 environment to E2K.  Following is a brief
outline of what I plan to do to achieve this:
 
* Install the Exchange 2000 version of the Active Directory Connector on
the (new) server that will be built up to be the first E2K server.  This
will be a member server in the W2K domain.  Configure a two way connection
agreement between the E5.5 server and W2KDOMAIN;
* Run E2K setup (incorporating forestprep and domainprep) on the 'new'
server
* Configure the server to be a member of the existing E5.5 site;
* Migrate a few accounts for testing;
* Upon successful testing, migrate remaining accounts;
* Leave the E5.5 server in place long enough to ensure that re-direction
of all users takes place;
* Reconfigure the Internet Mail Connector to use the new server;
* De-commission the E5.5 server
 
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Greg

Shared mail domain with two SBS2000 servers

2003-06-29 Thread Greg Marr
Hi
 
Had a friend ring me asking for advice on the following situation:
 
A company with two sites and a SBS2000 server in each site wants to be able to use the 
same mail domain for users at each site.  They are both configured to use a dial-up 
connection to connect to the internet and the mail for their domain is stored with 
thier ISP and is accessible via POP3..
 
I don't have much (read "any") experience with SBS2000 and would appreciate advice on 
whether:
 
a) it is possible to configure a SBS2000 POP3 connection to only drag down mail from 
its specific list of users; and 
b) that the servers would not inherently believe that they are responsible for the 
xyz.com domain and hence refuse to forward mail out to the internet to a user that has 
an xyz.com address but is located at the other SBS2000 site.
 
I would appreciate any advice/experiences you could offer.

Thanks

Greg

404 Error when attempting to use OWA through a Front End server

2003-01-16 Thread Greg Marr
Hi
 
Would really love some advice on the following:
 
*   had a single Exchange 2000 Ent server (SP3) and confirmed that
OWA was working;
*   installed a new E2K server (SP3) and configured it to be a Front
End server;
 
OWA still works if you connect directly to the Back End server but not
if you connect to the Front End server.  If you go to the FE server, it
will prompt you for a username and password, you enter it, then it
prompts you again.  This happens a total of three times and after the
third time, you get a 404 - the page cannot be displayed error.
 
I have seen quite a few newsgroup postings that detail the same problem
but cant find a solution for love nor money...
 
One other thing, is the M: drive on the Front End server meant to mount
to the Back End server once it has been configured as a FE server?
Unfortunately, I have never seen a FE/BE setup working so don't know if
what I am seeing  is normal.
 
Thanks very much for any advice

Greg

Organization merge (5.5 with 2K)

2003-01-21 Thread Greg Marr
Hi

Would appreciate it if anyone could point me towards some documentation
that would help me out with the planning and execution of incorporating
a 5.5 organisation into a E2K organisation.  I have found some basic
documentation but nothing that goes into too much detail


Thanks in advance.

OT: ??? OWA with ISA - Publish or create DMZ???

2003-01-28 Thread Greg Marr
Hi

I am currently investigating setting up OWA through ISA server and have
seen various recommendations about how to do this.  The two obvious
options are;

*  to place the Front-End server in a DMZ and open all required ports to
the internal network or;
*  to publish OWA through ISA server through the incredibly simple OWA
Publishing Rule (included in Feature Pack 1 for ISA)

I realise that both methods involve compromising security to some degree
but have not been able to find any absolute proof that one is more
secure than the other.  I really would like to be able to implement the
second option but am finding it hard to get the concept of a direct
(well almost...) connection between external client and our Exchange
Front-End server to swallowed by the guys in charge.

Any documentation/experiences would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Greg

RE: OWA in DMZ Zone

2003-02-13 Thread Greg Marr
Assuming you are talking about E2K, there is a white-paper at
http://go.microsoft.com/fliwink/?linid=4721 which lists the ports that
are required to be opened at the end of the document.

>From my investigations though, it depends very much on what type of
firewall you are using as to where to place the OWA server (ie: if you
are using ISA server with Feature Release 1, it is probably more secure
to publish the OWA server through ISA and leave it on your internal
network).

Hope that helps.

NDR for specific domain

2003-03-05 Thread Greg Marr
Hi all

A couple of days ago, I set up a SMTP connector on my E2K SP3 server so
that I can block external email access for some users.  I configured it
as per the MS document and all seemed to be working fine.

Today though, no-one seems to be able to send mail to one particular
domain.  We have a very standard installation and I have checked every
place I can think of to see if someone has configured anything
incorrectly but cannot find anything.  The message I get is as follows:

*

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

  Subject:  test email - please ignore
  Sent: 6/03/2003 14:44

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

  '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' on 6/03/2003 14:51
You do not have permission to send to this recipient.  For
assistance, contact your system administrator.
... Relaying denied>


I thought this might be an issue at their end (as it only seems to be
happening for the one domain) but I sent a test message from hotmail and
it did not bounce.  I know this looks like a permissions issue but as I
say, I have checked every setting I can think of.  Any ideas

Thanks in advance.

RE: OWA front end server - licensing and security

2003-09-17 Thread Greg Marr
We have set up our OWA to require two-factor authentication (SecurID)
which eliminates any key-logging concerns but this system is not cheap
at approx $300 AU ($160 US) per user.  

The upside is that you can use the same system to authenticate all of
your remote access users (dial-up, VPN, etc) and this is the function
that really allows me to sleep well at night.
 
I guess that it all depends on how many people are going to require this
functionality and of course, your budget.

We are trying to figure out a way to give people access to email only

2003-09-17 Thread Greg Marr
Sorry, I should have said that it eliminates any key-logging concerns
related to authentication - it obviously can't stop the actual recording
of keystrokes by key-logging software.

It will however, basically eliminate the possibility of someone gaining
access to your email system using credentials "left behind" by one of
your users which is where we happen to draw the line in terms of
functionality/security.

I think you'll find that I followed my initial post with an immediate
follow up that stated:

"Sorry, I should have said that it eliminates any key-logging concerns
related to authentication - it obviously can't stop the actual recording

It will however, basically eliminate the possibility of someone gaining

Further info - I can move messages between folders with Outlook and can 
delete them so it seems that the message "pointers" are fine but I cannot 
access the content of any new messages.  Should I run an eseutil integrity

Urgent Issue

2003-10-27 Thread Greg Marr
Hi

This mornign I arrived at work to an Exchange 2000 Server (SP4) that had the 
FrameworkService exe consuming all of the CPU.  A reboot was decided upon 
and since then, users can still send messages and can open messages recieved 
prior to the reboot but when they go to open the messages received since the 
reboot, the get a message which states "Can't open this item".  There are no 
messages in the event log that suggest a cause so I would really apprecaite 
any advice.

Cheers

Greg Marr

RE: Urgent Help - Update

2003-10-27 Thread Greg Marr
Thanks - I did contact PSS and have had great service in the past but
their SLA for a consultant to get back to you is four hours so I thought
someone might be able to assist in the interim.

Anyway, it seems the issue was related to our AV software.  In the early
stages, I stopped the AV services but the issue was not resolved until I
actually uninstalled the software.

Thanks

Greg

Further info - I can move messages between folders with Outlook and can
delete them so it seems that the message "pointers" are fine but I
cannot
access the content of any new messages.  Should I run an eseutil
integrity
check or just bite the bullet and restore from bacup (would lose about
