Viewing hidden mailboxes on Exch2k
Quick and hopefully simple question for all the Exchange Gurus out there... Trying to view a mailbox in Outlook that has been hidden from the GAL under Exchange 2000... On Exchange 5.5 I used to be able to fill in the directory name of the mailbox such as /o=org/ou=site/cn=Recipients/cn=ExchAlias and then open the mailbox, but this doesn't appear to always work on Exch2k... Managers use this functionality to maintain access to mailboxes for a few months after a person has departed the company... I've tried to search the web, but obviously don't have the right search terms because I've come up with nothing... Any help would be appreciated...

Two recipients with the same address error?
Ladies and gentlemen, I've developed a somewhat odd quirk and am hoping that someone can help me sort it out... First the basics: Exchange 2000 SP3 on Windows 2000 SP3... I have a user, Daniel Julien, who originally existed in our parent domain... Due to some changes in the organization, we've had to move some of the users from the parent domain to a child domain... For the few users that needed to move, I've simply detached their Exchange mailboxes, deleted the parent domain accounts, created new accounts in the child domain (SID history and all that wasn't important) and then reattached the mailbox to the account in the child domain... This of course went smoothly for the other six accounts, but (of course) the last one is giving me a bit of trouble... On some clients (both OL2000 and OL2002), the new account is not resolving correctly and instead is resolving to what appears to be the old Exchange 5.5 name (we migrated from Exchange 5.5 back in January)... If I look at the resolved name on the affected clients it appears as /o=NAMFG/ou=CLEVELAND/cn=NA-STORDY/cn=DANIELJULIEN in the _Display Name_ field with all other fields being blank (First name, Last name, all the email addresses, etc are blank)... If I attempt to send the message from the affected clients, I get an Undeliverable message with the following: Two recipients are configured with the same e-mail address. Contact your administrator. mailserver.namfg.com #5.1.4 Other clients and OWA send the message without error and resolve the name properly... There are no abnormal messages in the event log on the Exchange server At first I thought it was a problem with the local name cache on the clients, so I deleted all the .NK2 files, but the issue remains... Recreating the profiles on the affected machines has also yielded no remedy... Both affected and non-affected machines alike show the same server as their GAL server... Searches in the MSKB and Google have returned nothing relevant... Any help, as always, would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Major SMTP problem, relay is blocked but still being accessed.
Are you being used as a relay or are you just being bombarded with a brute force spam attack? Brute force spam attacks usually involve a spammer sending thousands of messages to 'common' names in hope for finding real email addresses (Example: Jim, Jim1, Jim2, Jim3, JimA, JimB, JimC, Steve, Steve1, etc etc all @company.com of course). If it is a brute force spam attack, then your best bet would be to block the IP's of the spammer at your firewall so the spammer can no longer make SMTP connections to your server.

RE: RUS not working to child domain?
Neil, Thanks for the quick rundown, but none of those appear to be the problem: 1. All DC's listed in RUS are available from the Exchange server. No problem with connectivity either by FQDN or short name (netbios name). 2. I've checked all the way to the individual object in AD. Exchange Enterprise Servers have permissions to the users in question. The Exchange Server in question is part of the Exchange Enterprise Servers. 3. No third party address generators are installed. No event errors in the event log with logging set to max. 4. No problems with Dist. lists with hidden membership. Again, no errors in the event log. And the hunt continues... Thanks though.

Browse both entries and choose alternates, if available. 2) Inheritable permissions are removed on an OU and the RUS is no longer able to reach the objects within it. (Q297124) 3) RUS is unable to generate email addresses because it is unable to locate a third party email address generator (DLL file). This can occur in mixed environments where an Exchange 5.5 server had fax software or the like installed. Exchange 2000 builds its recipient policies based on Ex55 site addressing (which includes the third party address). Since the DLL does not exist on the E2K server used by the RUS, the RUS will fire Event IDs 2035, 2037, and 2027 if MSExchangeAL logging is set to max.

RE: Ex2k - PF error in ESM
Chris, Thanks for the response on a Sunday... My SSL cert is for webmail.namfg.com, which isn't the server's 'real' FQDN (or AD name)... Webmail is more user friendly than the server's real name.. I do have a DNS entry for the webmail address both internally and externally, and OWA does work properly... Would that cause the problem? I could remove the cert (it's only a temporary cert for testing, I didn't pay for it yet)... Question I'd have then is how can I address the server as webmail on the internet if I've got to have the cert named with the real/AD FQDN of the server? Would I have to go to a FE/BE solution instead of running everything off one machine just to have the friendly name?

RE: Strange Exchange 5.5 Windows 2000 Question
I've done a restore of an Exch 5.5 DB from NT4 to a differnt Win2K box, but never after AD was in place... Didn't have any real trouble with it... Don't think AD would be too much of a problem though since Exch 5.5 isn't AD aware and should just try to talk to the AD like an NT4 domain... Anyway, that's a moot point... Make sure you've got the same SP level on both Exch boxes, plus any hotfixes, etc... Plus remember that the Win2K box has to have the same name as the old NT4 box that the backup came from... You didn't specify in your original mail that it did, so I'm just making sure you've got that point in place. If memory serves, you'll get errors running isinteg if the server names are different and of course you won't be able to mount the store.

RE: Ex2k - PF error in ESM (Solved?)
Ladies and Gents, Just wanted to let you know that the problem appears solved... Here's all I did... Went into IIS admin and removed my SSL cert from the site... Stopped and restarted the default web site... PF properties were again available in ESM... Reinstalled my cert into the default site but made sure NOT to force SSL on the entire site (even though I'd turned this off after the fact previously, it didn't seem to make a difference)... Force SSL only on the Exchange subdirectory and everything appears to be operating correctly... OWA still forces the secure channel and I can still get to PF properties in the ESM... Thanks again to Chris for responding on a Sunday.. Now it's time to look into the next problem (Can't manually restart the Exchange Event service, EventID:5 with error 0x80004005, any takers? MSKB 265397 wasn't the answer) Guess I'll post another message in the morning if I can't hunt it down. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

RE: Re[2]: 25-30 external users using outlook through VPN (Excha nge on a T1)
To the original questions: 1) Yes, a T1 should easily be able to handle 25 - 30 users checking their Outlook email through VPN... We've normally got 20 to 25 users with individual VPN tunnels connecting to our Exchange server through a T1 with no problems (end users are a mix of dial-up, DSL and Cable modem users)... That T1 is also used for just about everything else as well, (web surfing, incoming/outgoing email traffic, etc) and we haven't had any performance problems... Though a different T1 we've got 20 remote offices connecting through office to office VPN links, probably around 60 users in total... Last time I checked the monitoring on that line, we were only hitting 50% utilization on the T1 during peak times... Of the 20 offices, 18 have 512K F/T1's and the other two have full T1's. They use the VPN link for access to our central email server, limited access to our central file server, and running Oracle database applications 2) Separate VPN tunnels is going to add more overhead to the communications and be more difficult to manage. Just as Ed said, if you can maintain a single link, then you've only got to troubleshoot that link if there's a problem instead of trying to troubleshoot 5 different problems on each users' machine when they're having trouble.

Swing / Swing back Upgrade question....
At the very beginning of the year I finally managed to install Win2k and AD into our environment (more management concerns than technical stopped me in the past)... Everything with that upgrade went pretty smoothly... Now it's time to upgrade our Exch 5.5 SP4 server to Exchange 2K... When all is said and done, we want to have Exch 2K running on the same hardware that our present Exch 5.5 install. Instead of doing a direct upgrade, I'm under the impression that doing a swing / swing back style upgrade would be better as I need to upgrade HD space on the server in the process... I have a temporary machine that should be able to handle the load as the swing server for a week or two while I rebuild the present Exch box... Since the temporary machine is really only a workstation with 1Gb RAM and an IDE RAID, and is normally only part of my test environment, I don't want to leave Exch on it permanently Unless someone can tell me why this approach is a bad idea the question I have is this: Should I make the temporary swing server an Exch 5.5 server or go ahead and make the move to Exchange 2000 on the swing machine? I'm looking for pro's and cons of either method. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Purchased another company, need to migrate their mail....
Kind ladies and gentlemen, looking for a little feedback on an Exchange mess that I've been tasked with handling. We're located in the USA and recently we purchased a company based out of the UK. The administration has asked me to consolidate the Exchange servers (one at each company) into a single server. Of course I protested veheminently about having a single server for both the US and UK, gave them many many reasons why it shouldn't be done, but ultimately the decision was theirs AH well We're currently running Exch5.5 on an NT4 domain, and the purchased company is running the same... I am in the process of testing and preparing to deploy Win2K and AD here in the USA... After AD's in place I plan to upgrade our Exch5.5 to Exch2K. Now for the messy part... I need to get the UK's mailboxes moved to our Exch2K server... What I was planning was this: Upgrade their network to Win2K as a child domain of ours... Then using Exmerge, pull out their mailboxes and transfer them to our Exchange server (they've only got a 600mb priv.edb, so it's nothing compared to our 90Gb database)... I've read on migration strategies, etc, but nothing really covers moving mail from one domain to another or if making them a child domain (basically creating a two way transitive trust between the two domains) gets around the problem...

Problem creating top level PF's in Exch5.5

Each time I attempt to create the PF, I get a message stating that I don't have proper permissions. I've STW and checked the archives and I can find plenty of references to creating PF's and permissions, etc. in Exch2000, but nothing for Exch 5.5...

RE: Problem creating top level PF's in Exch5.5
Duh, I knew it would be something simple. Guess I should've mentioned that I used to have the permission and nobody had made a top level PF for probably a year now (but I was in a rush and frustrated, not the best time to write a good problem description)... Actually, all the names (of people who are supposed to have the permissions) were missing from that tab. Never thought to check it because, of course, why would my name magically have been removed?

RE: No MX Record ?
This issue has been discussed a number of times before... One of those discussions I remember was started by me... :) http://www.mail-archive.com/exchange@ls.swynk.com/msg24081.html And still there's no resolution or nothing from Microsoft that even admits there's a problem. I think Jennifer may have over generalized a bit with her statement... Exchange doesn't have any problems delivering to domains that have MX records. Domains that don't have MX records are a hit or miss, and nobody has been able to come up with rhyme or reason why yet... At this point there are a few options.. 1) Call PSS and see if MS has a solution (I was too cheap to do it, but if they do have a solution please let us all know!) 2) Ask the offending domains to add the proper MX records 3) Use a relay 4) Update to Exchange 2000 4) Change mail servers all together.

Synchronizing Outlook for Offline use...
I know this subject has come up time and time again, but I've STFW, RTFM and perused the FAQ and can't come up with an answer... I have a user with a fairly large mailbox (2Gb) and many folders under his Inbox. Running OL2K SP1 on Win98SE, Exchange is 5.5 SP4... User had a corrupted OST file, which was deleted, and is now attempting to synch his entire mailbox so he can work offline in the evening from home... Mailbox doesn't synch with many messages like the following on various folders...

The filters didn't seem to help and most folders are still exhibiting the problem... Many of the folders that aren't synching aren't really all that big (10Mb)... Out of say, 250 items, only 40 of them will synch... I've also tried to set the user's mail up on a WinXP Pro box with OL2002 and tried to synch that, but end up with the same results Does Outlook have a set amount of time it waits for an item or folder to synch before giving up and going onto the next folder? If so, is there a way to increase this time... Can anyone give me some other pointers or resources to look at why OL won't synch (not that it won't synch at all, but won't synch completely)? Is the situation with synching large offline folders any better under Exch. 2000? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Slightly OT: Outlook Contacts
Kind ladies and gentlemen, We have an office manager who would like to be able to send email on behalf of the salespeople in her office. I've given her the ability to do this, but now she is asking if it is possible for her to use the individual's Contact list to verify names and mail addresses. The office manager already has user permissions on the salespeople's mailboxes, can already access their Contacts lists, and has the mailbox open in her folder list, but what she wants to do is type in the contact name and have Outlook check the name in the salesmens' lists and insert the appropriate email address just like it would if the contact were in her own contact list. The address book config options in Outlook (2000) only allow you to select address books that are in your primary mailbox and any provided by Exchange (GAL, etc), is there some way to add contact lists as other address books so the office manager can use all the other lists without copying them to her mailbox?

RE: Network Error During Host Resolution
They shouldn't need an actual MX record if they have an A record. (I know it's proper to have an MX record, but it's not absolutely necessary.) Since de.durr-usa.com DOES have an A record, Exchange SMTP SHOULD be able to locate it From RFC 2821 Section 3.6 3.6 Domains Only resolvable, fully-qualified, domain names (FQDNs) are permitted when domain names are used in SMTP. In other words, names that can be resolved to MX RRs or A RRs (as discussed in section 5) are permitted, as are CNAME RRs whose targets can be resolved, in turn, to MX or A RRs. Local nicknames or unqualified names MUST NOT be used. There are two exceptions to the rule requiring FQDNs: - The domain name given in the EHLO command MUST BE either a primary host name (a domain name that resolves to an A RR) or, if the host has no name, an address literal as described in section 4.1.1.1. - The reserved mailbox name postmaster may be used in a RCPT command without domain qualification (see section 4.1.1.3) and MUST be accepted if so used. From Section 5 Once an SMTP client lexically identifies a domain to which mail will be delivered for processing (as described in sections 3.6 and 3.7), a DNS lookup MUST be performed to resolve the domain name [22]. The names are expected to be fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs): mechanisms for inferring FQDNs from partial names or local aliases are outside of this specification and, due to a history of problems, are generally discouraged. The lookup first attempts to locate an MX record associated with the name. If a CNAME record is found instead, the resulting name is processed as if it were the initial name. If no MX records are found, but an A RR is found, the A RR is treated as if it was associated with an implicit MX RR, with a preference of 0, pointing to that host. If one or more MX RRs are found for a given name, SMTP systems MUST NOT utilize any A RRs associated with that name unless they are located using the MX RRs; the implicit MX rule above applies only if there are no MX records present. If MX records are present, but none of them are usable, this situation MUST be reported as an error. Still Looking Joe Pochedley I like deadlines, cartoonist Scott Adams once said.

RE: Need advice from the Gurus (mobile users question)
We have 60+ salesmen and engineers who connect via 56K modem dial up while on the road to access their email with Outlook/Exchange through a VPN... Everything works well, though a bit slowly at times, but not so slow as to be unusable or unbearable. You can do away with IMAP completely if you like... Outlook allows you to create an Offline Folder file, which is a local copy of the information stored on the Exchange server... With the offline folder file, users can continue to work with Outlook and maintain full functionality whether they're connected or not and will automatically synchronize (send, receive mail, update calendar, contacts, tasks, etc) whenever they are connected... Look in the help files for Outlook for help setting up Offline Access...

These users, *may* travel to another location in which they will use a PC sitting on someone else's desk. And about half of these employees will have a laptop - in which they work from home, and travel on the road. Either way, they need to have access to all new mail that comes in, in addition to all their old mail, so they can always have the ability to refer to any old messages. In all of these cases, they need access to their e-mail. Before we installed our Exchange Server, we were using POP3 access exclusively and as we all know, POP3 clients typically pull their mail from the server, when retrieving their messages. Yes, you CAN set things up to leave their mail on the server, but things get funny once in a while, and their mail clients lose track of what messages they have already retrieved from the server, versus which ones they already have on their hard drive. (so sometimes, they have like a 1,000 new messages, when in reality they only have a few new ones) I am sick of dealing with that problem - because it happens way too often. Also, some people accidentally leave their machines on when they go home at night. All just to go home and find out that they have no new messages - because their office PC steals all their e-mail. We just migrated our users from Ipswitch's IMail server, to our new Exchange Box - and the above reasons are why we decided to do this. I am very impressed with Exchange Server - although it is quite complex, I believe it's the answer to all our problems. NOW this is where I need your help. I was thinking about doing the following: Get rid of POP3 altogether, and use IMAP from now on. This way, the laptop users can still take all their mail with them when they travel and still have their old mail they can refer to if they are unable to get online to connect to the server. I believe IMAP allows you to synchronize your local mail with the mail on the server correct? Also, for corporate users with their own laptop OR those that only have access to a public terminal - I was thinking that they could use OWA to handle all of their e-mail issues. And the fact that all mail remains on the server at all times, no matter which method the employees use to get their e-mail, the mail will always be there for them. So bottom line is - IMAP and OWA correct? Are there any other suggestions

We won't need to mess with DNS records and such... Has anyone tried setting up another Exchange (5.5) box to store and forward the incoming SMTP mail (of course the forward part of that would be delayed for a couple days)... If you've done it, does it work OK? Will it hold the messages for more than a few days... One of my cow-workers seems to think that may be a possible solution? Still looking for suggestions...

Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!
Ladies and Gentlemen of the list , here's my situation in brief: Yesterday someone on our network was infected with the Nimda virus (through an infected web page and unpatched IE 5.01 install, but that's beside the point)... I had Netshield 4.5 running on our main file server, set to email me when a virus was found on the system... Within 5 minutes, I had over 8000 email messages from the scanner, from the infected machine trying to put .eml files onto the server. Now my mailbox is VERY slow... I've tried opening my mailbox with Outlook XP and Outlook 2000, also tried connecting to it with Outlook Express and IMAP, but IMAP was only downloading like 1 message per second (even though I set it to only download headers, on a 100 Mbit network connection!)

Richard, But the thing is that we don't have the virus running around anymore... I've cleaned the infected machine and it's not putting files on the file server anymore... NetShield kept the files off the server(s)...

RE: Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!
I have NetSheild running on the servers, but have turned off email alerts because of the great number of messages caused by Nimda yesterday... I have Groupshield Exchange running on the server to stop Nimda from coming in via email... Neither has reported a hit of Nimda since late yesterday afternoon. I am still receiving and am able to send email from my account, using my workstation with OL2000 but again it's so slow as to almost be unusable (though it's how I'm communicating with the list)... I have another machine set up with my mailbox and a mailbox rule going through my Inbox deleting each message created by the flood yesterday because if I try to delete the entire group of messages at once, Outlook hangs (I left it run overnight and it claimed that it was going to take 264 hours to delete the messages when I came in this morning!)... So that's why I created the rule... I'm just hoping that after all the messages are deleted (or I'm guessing there's one specific message that's causing all the problems) that things will return to normal, but I was hoping there was another way / something else I could do to get things back to normal ASAP.

Michèle, How did you know it was my uncle who owned a gas station? I didn't say that in the original message... Good guess, if it was indeed a guess...

How does synchronization work?
Can somebody explain to me what steps Outlook and Exchange take when performing a synchronization? Here's the scenario, Outlook 2000 SP1 client, Exchange 5.5 SP4 server... User has an Inbox with 4400+ items, about 6 megs worth of mail... Inbox synchronizes for offline use in about 30 seconds Same user has a Sent Items folder with 2100+ items, but about 200 megs worth of stuff (being polite, he's got big attachments)... Takes about half an hour to synchronize, every time.. Does Outlook have to compare each item in the folder every time it synchronizes? I'm assuming that it does and that's why it takes half an hour to synchronize (over a 384K WAN connection) every time the user needs to synch Outlook? If that's the case, wouldn't it be smarter for Outlook to keep some kind of change log while offline to assist in synchronizing only those items that have changed, and leaving other items alone? I'm not really looking for help here because I know the answer is (most likely) to have the user delete his larger sent items, but I'd like to provide a good explanation of if / why it takes so long every single time... Thanks in advance.
