Exch 5.5 installation problem
Hi We have a single Site/Server setup currently, and are looking to add some additional servers to the site, to be based at remote offices. Problem is, we cant get a successful installation. It always fails towards the end with the following message; some replication operations were not completed. directories will be updated during normal replication updatesetc Event viewer says; Unexpected error <<0xc004 - Network problems are preventing connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer. Contact your system administrator if this condition persists. MAPI was unable to load the information service emsabp.dll. Be sure the service is correctly installed and configured.

I've checked both the Directory and Directory Synch Services are running, but none made a difference. Name resolution is handled by WINS, and seems fine. I can ping back and forwards between the servers using their Netbios names and IP adds, I have tried the rpcpings programme, and all seems well, and I have checked the relevant technet documents relating to this error. I've had a similar errors on one installation, which instructed me to Check Knowledge Consistency on the Directory service, which said it found errors, and corrected them. I've just applied SP3, which made no difference. A few weeks ago we were forced to change the admin password (which is also the service account password for exchange) although we updated all the services (but nothing else) and all seemed well. Exchange itself seems to work fine. I've considered using Exmerge off the reskit to export all the mailboxes top PST, and start afresh, but it keeps telling me it doesn't have permission to access the message store (MSEMS) I'm pretty sure Ive checked all the permissions tabs, and all seems well. I'm getting kind of desperate now, and need some kind of solution, no matter how long winded it might seem, regarding re-installs etc. Regards Nik _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Exch 5.5 installation problem - solution?
Well, in the end I managed to get it working, although it may have been as a result of other things I did along the way rather than the last things listed here; Re: Exmerge - I was running from the server, and this wasn't working. Run from any Win2k client with Outlook, and it was fine. All mailboxes exported, although I didn't need this fix in the end When installing Exchange Server, at the point of specifying an existing server, I was using the IP add rather than the Netbios name. When I used the Netbios name, all was well, it didn't fall over at the end with a MAPI communication error Thanks for the help and advice -Original Message----- From: Niki Blowfield Sent: 07 September 2001 08:45 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Exch 5.5 installation problem Hi We have Trend Server Protect and Scanmail.

Disabling Mail Relay
Dear All, We have started getting some low life relaying hundreds of 'questionable' mails thru our Exchange Server. I've set routing restrictions so that only authenticated users can route mail, and this stops it fine. However, we have 5 remote sites, 4 of which have local Exchange Servers within the overall organisation which work fine, but we have 1 single site connected by dial-up (for 2 more weeks, then ADSL like other sites) whose clients use POP3. They stop being able to send and receive mail when I have this restriction in place. '550 routing disabled' or something similar. Our mail server which has the IMC installed is on a private subnet, with all mail traffic forwarded from the Firewall to it. The only other routing restriction I can configure is the 'clients that connect to this address' which I assume I can set to the LAN IP of the Exchange Server, however, will this stop the external relaying seeing as traffic from externally is forwarded to this private LAN Address? The way I read it is that this is designed for when you have an interface connected directly to the web, and 1 to then LAN, which obviously we don't have. Any help appreciated NB _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

IMC Errors
Dear All, We have been getting the following error messages in Event Viewer on our Exchange Server 5.5 SP3; Event ID 4128 Failure setting file attributes on file E:\exchsrvr\imcdata\in\WFBRQJQS. The error code returned was The system cannot find the file specified. . This is an unexpected error and the IMS is shutting down. Followed by; Event ID 4093 The error code 2 was returned when trying to remove the spool file E:\exchsrvr\imcdata\in\WFBRQJQS. This file may cause duplicate mail to be sent when the server is restarted. These are happening quite often, many times a day. Technet lists nothing for that error message. Our mail server was recently used (abused) for anonymous mail relaying, which has now been disabled. However, our IMCDATA folder is now 1.6gb, and I don't know if this is related to the enormous amounts of mail relayed, or indeed the problem in Event Viewer. Any ideas?

Message disappeared during link outage
Dear All, We have 5 offices connected via VPN provided by Sonicwall ADSL routers. Each office has an Exchange Server 5.5 SP3 on NT Server 4 SP6a, with 1 of them having an IMC. There is one Organisation/Site with multiple servers to represent the different offices, and all staff at each office have their mailboxes on their local servers. It was reported to me that a Director (isnt it always?) sent an email to the Managing Director (arrrgh!) within the same organisation, but whose mailbox was located on another server, seperated by the ADSL VPN link. The mail never arrived, and no error was received by sender or recipient. Upon closer inspection, the following event is noted in the senders local NT server event log at the same time that they sent the message. Event ID - 9316 Source - MSExchangeMTA An RPC communications error occurred. No data was sent over the RPC connection. Locality table (LTAB) index: 238. Windows NT error: 9317. The MTA will attempt to recover the RPC connection. (BASE IL INCOMING RPC 40 522) (12) There were no errors immediately before or after this event (closest 5 hours) and I assume there was some problem with the ADSL link at that time, not uncommon, and also suggested by some errors on the main server (the 'hub' of the VPN). What I need to know is a) why wasn't the mail delivered when the link was restored and b) why was no non delivery error returned. Mail normally flows fine between all servers. I have followed the instructions in technet doc - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q247782 but the "concurrent xapi sessions" was already at "50". Its not so important to ensure mail delivery, as it is to make sure we know when a message has not been delivered.

Online backup of Exchange 5.5 with Veritas BE 8.5
Dear All, I got some advice here earlier in the week with regards backing up Exchange with Veritas Backup Exec 8.5 without the Exchange Agent. I have altered our backup setup here by putting a DAT drive in the Exchange server (used to be across network, offline file copy backup to another backup server) and allowing Backup Exec to simply backup all local drives, without doing anything to specifically identify the Exchange folders. I have cancelled the batch file that stopped the services, so that Exchange runs continuously. After backup, I receive the following errors in the backup log. Also, when simulating a restore, I can select the Priv and Pub databases, but Dir.edb is not available. Backup Type: NORMAL - Back Up Files - Reset Archive Bit Backup started on 07/03/02 at 02:01:03 . The item \exchsrvr\DSADATA\edb.log in use - skipped. The item \exchsrvr\DSADATA\temp.edb in use - skipped. Backup Type: NORMAL - Back Up Files - Reset Archive Bit Backup started on 07/03/02 at 02:57:01 . The item \exchsrvr\DSADATA\dir.edb in use - skipped. Any advice on how to get dir.edb backed up, and any other problems the logs suggested? Also, what added functionality does the Exchange Agent provide?

RE: Online backup of Exchange 5.5 with Veritas BE 8.5
Hi Thanks for the response Well, we do have the exchange agent I've altered the selection list to include the 3 Exchange options (Directory, Information Store, and Mailboxes) do I now exclude the exchsrvr folders on the normal backup folder selections? Thanks Nik -Original Message- From: Mike Tonazzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 March 2002 12:24 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: AW: Online backup of Exchange 5.5 with Veritas BE 8.5 I don't know what advice you were given, but you cannot just do a normal backup without stopping the exchange services. The services are accessing these files while beeing online. That's why the backup program cannot save them to the tape. If you install the Veritas Exchange Agent you will be able to backup your exchange files while your exchange service is online. Furthermore you can backup and restore user's postoffices. If you backup the whole database as you think of now, you will only be able to restore the whole thing at once.

RE: Online backup of Exchange 5.5 with Veritas BE 8.5
Hi Andy, Yes, I was doing a flat file backup. I've removed the exchsrvr folders now though. Does including the mailbox option in effect double up your backup by virtue of you backing up the information store?

RE: Cannot Join Existing Site - Exch5.5 - RPCPing gurus?
Just got round to trying this In addition to using your LMHOSTS file (mine didn't have any #PRE entries or the domain entry) and running NBTSTAT -R , I also removed the WINS server entry in TCP/IP properties this time around (DNS was already removed) so that all name resolution should be static mappings (I think) Works a treat now, and after installation, putting all the DNS and WINS entries back in doesn't affect the servers communicating Thanks a lot for your time and advice Regards, Mr. Niki Blowfield NT Administrator Extension 482 Martin-Baker Aircraft Company Ltd.

Troubleshooting Failed Delivery
Dear All, Looking for a bit of advice here if poss please One of our clients sent an email to one of our surveyors regarding something that's apparently very important. Surveyor never received the email. Client claims he received a delivery notification A common problem for us is for people sending us emails to spell our domain wrong. The most common mispelt domain exists, and seems to just catch [EMAIL PROTECTED] as we never get NDR's when people send our emails there I logged on as this surveyor, checked his email for the date and time the email was sent, nothing for that day. Checked deleted items, and recovered deleted items, nothing. So I checked the IMC Archive In folder, opened all emails within a couple of hours of the time the email was supposedly sent and a delivery received, nothing. Now we don't want to upset the client, as they are our client, and we need the work they provide us, but they are getting a little contractural over this email Without being negative to them, I need to know exactly what is needed for me to track this email down. The message body was forwarded to me, but all this shows is that the email was sent to "Our Surveyor" i.e. the name in the contacts list I'm thinking I need them to forward me the message directly from their sent items, as well if possible, as the notification report Any thoughts?

Working Offline From Exchange Server
Dear All, I have half a dozen or so laptop users, who mainly use their laptops in their respective offices, but sometimes from home. I have configured offline folders for them, and told them to perform a Send and Receive when connected to their office LAN's to make sure their offline copy is kept as up to date as to be useful. I have had a phone call today from someone working remotely whos been working offline, has sent an email (which has placed itself in the Outbox on the offline info store). Now he wants to send that email. He connects to his ISP, then to our VPN, and opens Outlook. However, it opens the offline store, even though he can see our network, and the server Exchange is installed on. I thought this config would have opened the IS on the server, and then he could Send and Receive to synchronize, and send that mail, however, with it opening in offline mode, all he gets is an error about the server being unavailable. I have managed to connect him to the IS on the server by logging off, then loggin back on and selecting use DUN to connect, when he opens Outlook then, he gets the IS on the server, and can S & R Is this working the way it should? Or is there anyway to open the IS on the server by having him connect from an "offline from the domain login" without having to actually log on to the domain thru DUN?

What I mean is, Windows 2000 allows the users to log on to the domain, even though they don't have a connection (modem or LAN) to it. Just fire the laptop up at home, and log on using the same username and password, with our domain selected in the drop down list >From then, if they establish the connection to our head office VPN/RAS server, Outlook starts in offline mode (outlook 2002).

RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to new hardware
The ECMSM worked great for me, luckily I have a lone Win2k VPN server set up for me and some Directors to connect up with our home ADSL accounts, and I can Dameware into the NT4 Exchange server to do some 'babysitting' although nothing was required. Set it and forget it indeed. I can have a lager at home too, which always tends to draw strange looks at work However, this method of operating servers from home creates some tense moments. Whilst working on servers located in far off places locked away in cupboards late at night, I always get a little anxious during a reboot watching the "request timed out" from the "ping 192.168.2.25 -t" wondering whether I left a floppy in the drive -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 April 2002 17:10 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to new hardware All together: JUST SET IT.AND FORGET IT!! -Original Message- From: Akerlund, Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 8:09 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Moving Exchange 5.5 to new hardware 5:15pm: Break in because problem account crashed IS when it tried to move it. 5:04pm: You do the above because you remember the key is locked inside. hehe Don't get me wrong I love the ECMSM works great, and is less filling.

True, that's advice I will definitely take on board.

RE: Securing Outlook
Robert, Yes, thats exactly what I was looking for. Although I used the term Security, its in its loosest sense, as its more to stop people just casually browsing anothers email. If they know how to change that setting, then they are willing to live with that. By giving everyone access to her logon suggests what security risk it poses. In the end, I went a step further and created a new NT account for her mailbox, meaning anyone can know her NT user password for the purposes of accessing the fax system, but now she has to enter the new NT account info when starting her email. The feature I needed was the "logon network security" option, as without turning that off, it would just return saying "don't have permissions to access". thanks Nik -Original Message- From: Robert Moir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 May 2002 17:31 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Securing Outlook > -Original Message- > From: Niki Blowfield : Exchange [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 16 May 2002 17:26 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Securing Outlook > > > Sorry, I didn't make myself clear > > This machine is intended for anyone to walk onto to forward faxes, > Zetafax sends all faxes to a default logon, so this machine needs to > be logged on in her username so the faxes go to it Then consider the solution Gary and I suggested.

Klez in attached html
I appreciate this is probably down to my misunderstanding of this virus, but we have one user who is being sent an html file As soon as the email is clicked on, the attachment is attempted to be opened by Outlook. Then Officescan flags up that there is a file in the users temp internet folder with Klez, and it is the same filename as the html attachment, but the html has changed to exe For instance, today he has an email with revisions1.html attached. When he selects the email, it attempts to open the attachment, and Officescan quarantines the file revisions1.exe from the temp internet folder. I thought that Klez attachments had double extensions, like revisions1.html.exe Why wouldn't scanmail be stopping this file? I havent in the past considered that we should be blocking htm and html, but should we?

RE: Klez in attached html
Reason I said that Jim is that this all happens at the point an identically named file is received as an attachment thru our Exch server to his Outlook client As far as I'm aware the machine is fully up to date, both the virus definitions on the exchange server and the desktop AV software, and the updates to both Windows and IE6 as reported by windowsupdate.microsoft.com Is the fauly likely to be with scanmail failing to notice the virus attachment, or a problem with the client -Original Message- From: Blunt, James H (Jim) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 May 2002 15:43 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Klez in attached html "...Officescan flags up that there is a file in the users temp internet folder with Klez... Why wouldn't scanmail be stopping this file? I havent in the past considered that we should be blocking htm and html, but should we?" Stop and read what you just wrote Niki. Why isn't adding *.htm and *.html going to change a thing, if you add it to your e-mail scanning program? I'll tell you why...because the "attempted" infection is not coming through the e-mail system. Someone is connecting to the Internet and either getting this from an infected web site, or they are reading their private e-mail through a web browser. When this happens, the virus scanner on the desktop catches the .exe file that is masquerading as an .html file and holds it in the Temporary Internet Files folder, before it can execute. Depending on how you have your desktop AV configured, it will either quarantine the file after the person is through visiting that page, or it will delete it entirely. If you want to stop this kind of behaviour, you need to institute an AV Gateway for all your web traffic, as well as your e-mail traffic. We use NAV CE on all the servers and workstations, with the exception of the Exchange servers, where we use NAV MSE. We have Qmail on our Mail Relay server connected to the Internet. This does the initial subject type and attachment type scanning. We also use NAV AV Gateway software to scan web traffic.

Rules on client and server do not match
Dear All, I have a user who is presented with the above message when attempting to access the rules wizard in Outlook 2000, not sure if that's worded correctly, but he basically gets asked if he wants to keep the client rules or the server rules. He doesn't know what rules he has on the server or on the client, but basically he has some rules moving messages from people in his contacts, to various subfolders within outlook. There are no PST's involved, the info store is on the server. However, he is set up for offline working as it's a laptop. The offline store is up to date He doesn't want to lose any of the rules hes set up, but I'm unsure whether to keep the rules on the server. Its win2k pro, Outlook 2000 on Exchange 5.5 SP3 I've searched technet, but it only suggests solutions for multiple clients accessing a single info store. I've had a look with mdbvu32.exe from the support folder, but as far as I can see, you can only delete rules there Thanks for all advice Nik _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Rules on client and server do not match
Ah, ok. I knew how to export the rules, but couldn't get to that point without responding to the Client or Server dialog If I can cancel back out after that point without losing the rules, then that should be ok Thanks -Original Message- From: Andy David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 May 2002 12:51 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Rules on client and server do not match You can get this message also if you have two different versions of Outlook accessing the same mailbox. If you are worried about losing any rules, export them out before you decide whether to keep the server or client rules. You can always import then back in later if necessary. When you get that dialog box, choose either Server or Client, then click on the Options button to Export the rules. Click Cancel to back out completely from the dialog box! Open the Rules Wizard again, then make your choice whether server or client, then hit OK to save your choice. If you have lost some rules in the process, import them back in from the saved .rwz in the previous step. I would typically expect you would select "server" for consistency's sake. -Original Message- From: Niki Blowfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 7:28 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Rules on client and server do not match Sorry, yeah that's what we'd want ideally The real problem here, as I seem to have missed in my original question, is that we don't want to lose any of the many rules hes set up if possible -Original Message- From: Louis Joyce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 May 2002 12:03 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Rules on client and server do not match Whoops.

Currently we are using a VAX tape drive to back up our systems. He seems to think that the hard drive solution sounds like a great idea. I think it's possibly the worst idea ever created. Besides the constant vibrations, and temperature changes that the hard drives would have to withstand could everyone give me some more reasons as to why this is a bad idea.

Advice on infrastructure design
Dear All, I hope you will excuse me if this seems like an amateurish question to ask, but I think we need to revise our setup, and are not in a position to hire a consultant. Currently, we have 5 offices connected to each other via ADSL links, using Sonicwall routers and their VPN capabilities. Our Exchange Setup is 1 site with 5 servers. We've had the odd problem in the past when the ADSL links have gone down, and messages have been lost. Not often, but once or twice It was suggested to me here that we should configure each server as residing in a different site, and configure site connectors I now have an issue where one server experiences massive delays when delivering messages to other servers (8 hours in some cases). On closer inspection, I see lots of MTA errors regarding RPC communication. When running RPC Ping, it says it failed to bind to the other servers on all protocols If we are to revise our configuration, will it be best for me to move mailboxes from 1 server to what I call our central server which will be remaining in the site its in, then delete the old server, re-install exchange into a new site in the existing organisation, and move the mailboxes back?

Hi Very few to be honest, at our head office we have something like 30 users, then each site has around 10-15 Am I correct in assuming mailboxes need to be moved to our central server first, then the sites created, then the mailboxes moved back?

RE: Advice on infrastructure design
Would you suggest all users connect with outlook in 'Exchange Mode' as opposed to POP3 retrieval? Our ADSL is capped at 256k upload from the central office, and in my experience, those who are configured to connect to the central server over ADSL (i.e. roaming laptop users) find it quite slow. At least in this config, users have local, faster access to their mail stores and public folders, and the slow mail transfer happens 'behind the scenes' I would prefer to work with one server, but would appreciate some advice before doing this as to possible performance issues Nik -Original Message- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 October 2002 16:13 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Advice on infrastructure design No. Move the mailboxes to your central site, and save the cost of 5 Exchange servers. I have had plenty of 20 person offices hitting Exchange across WAN links without issue. In fact, I have 2 offices going half way across Europe, with 30 users each, to the only office there that can support Exchange (from an admin standpoint).

Mailbox 'disappeared'
Dear All,
We have an Exchange installation of a few servers, seperated by ADSL
We are currently reviewing the setup to move everyone to a central server,
and have everyone working offline
One server does not communicate with the central server at all at the
moment, and I havent been able to ascertain why, but we have continued to
let them operate on their own sending messages to each other until we are
ready to move everyone to the central server.
I created a mailbox on the problem server, and its been used fine. It is not
accessible from any of the other servers as the changes don't seem to have
replicated across.
Today, that server had to be rebooted, and that mailbox has disappeared. The
list of recipients on that server now resembles the list that the other
servers hold, i.e. without this new mailbox. However, the user and their
store is still listed under "Private Information Store \ Mailbox Resources"
The mailbox has been used for a couple of weeks, and so has quite a lot of
info in it. I've tried exmerge which fails and gives the following error,
although it doesn allow me to select the problem mailbox;
Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Merge Program, v3.71.001

Run the DS/IS consistency adjuster on that server. Select the first check
box at the top and select all inconsistencies at the bottom. Do NOT touch
anything to do with the public folders. This should recreate the directory
object for the mailbox listed in the information store.

We've now moved all mailboxes to our central server, seperated from our remote offices via ADSL, and remote users now work offline, with automatic synchs every 10 mins.

RE: Working Offline
Hi All Thanks for the responses Basically, we have 5 remote sites with this sort of number of users, this just happens to be the first site I'm working on Users also intermittently access data (CAD drawings and such) on each others file servers, which contributes to the overhead. I don't know if its different elsewhere, but in the UK, our ADSL is capped on upload at 256k, even though head office is a 2mb connection. In some basic tests, I've found performance is not acceptable, with users getting frustrated with "waiting for repsonse from exchange server" too often. This single 256k (2mb) connection (being the only one at head office) also hosts a win2k VPN server and our OWA server, neither of which generally have more than a couple of users. We may at some point install an additional line to handle these last 2 services I don't want to give users the option to work online, as giving them this option will result in some running online and some offline, gonna be less headaches for me if they're all the same for support and administration Any further responses greatfully received Nik -Original Message- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:curspice@;pacbell.net] Sent: 01 November 2002 17:54 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Working Offline Of course, that would be 160K avaialable bandwidth.

Dear All, We have several public folders used as address books User are complaining that they only get to see the name of the contact, and not the associated email address, or their company.

If you are talking about selecting from the Address Book, then if you are using Outlook 2000 and these are SMTP addresses, then the Outlook address book by default shows the display name and SMTP email address. I am not aware of any way to show Company name in the address book. This is because Outlook's address book is weak and inflexible. The weakness and inflexibility of Outlook's address book dates all the way back to the Exchange client. Essentially, people have been complaining about this since day 1 with the Exchange client and Microsoft still has not done anything to improve it. So, don't expect it to change any time soon. > Dear All, > > We have several public folders used as address books > > User are complaining that they only get to see the name of the > contact, and not the associated email address, or their company. > (sounds like an MCP question) > > Is there a way of automatically changing the contacts to display the > name as well as the email address?

RE: Using a PST for 'overflow'
We've been forced into restricting mailboxes as everyones being moved to a central server. Most users are having no problems getting their mailboxes down to 25-50mb, some much lower, a handful much higher. I'm finding it easiest to set some limits on the IS, then override that on individual mailboxes, as required, the MD for instance has a 500mb mailbox, after 2 CD's worth of archiving :-O What I've been saying to users is delete everything you can, anything older than 2 months that you need to keep put into a subfolder, then I go round and export these folders to PSTs, and dump them in their user folders on their local file servers, meaning they're included in the backups on their local servers, but the backup and disk space burden is removed from the Exchange server. I test the PSTs before deleting the originals, but I've seen nothing bigger than about 4-500mb. With enforced limits user will have to keep things in order, and we'll have to look at ongoing archiving in the method described above. 99% aren't aware of PST's, which is probably a good thing, though its added to my workload -Original Message- From: David N.

RE: Using a PST for 'overflow'
Users have been complaining that they're being victimised and they cant possibly delete 200mb of sent items, or at least move them to a PST that takes all of 2 minutes to open from a backed up file server. Funny how much of the space is taken up by 2mb spreadsheets emailed to the 'everyone' mailing list, that are all unread, or emails to their mate title 'bloke_falls_over.mpeg.zip' Just having a look around autoarchive, I see you have the option to specify a location. I'm thinking, although it's a thankless task, that I could configure all users' Outlook to autoarchive everything over a couple of months old. I'm not sure whether to configure it to dump the files onto a local file server or not, diskspace over time being the obvious downside.

RE: Using a PST for 'overflow'
Users have been complaining that they're being victimised and they cant possibly delete 200mb of sent items, or at least move them to a PST that takes all of 2 minutes to open from a backed up file server. Funny how much of the space is taken up by 2mb spreadsheets emailed to the 'everyone' mailing list, that are all unread, or emails to their mate title 'bloke_falls_over.mpeg.zip' Just having a look around autoarchive, I see you have the option to specify a location. I'm thinking, although it's a thankless task, that I could configure all users' Outlook to autoarchive everything over a couple of months old. I'm not sure whether to configure it to dump the files onto a local file server or not, diskspace over time being the obvious downside. Perhaps we could do a bi-annual CD burning session of all archive PST files. How does Outlook react if you take away its archive PST, does it generate a new one? Or does that whole aspect need to be reconfigured on all clients Any thoughts? 3rd party may be our only solution -Original Message- From: Couch, Nate [mailto:nate.couch@;eds.com] Sent: 06 November 2002 12:29 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Using a PST for 'overflow' I know several people who use autoarchiving to handle stuff they no longer use.

Yes, I did check this.

OWA Authentication Problem
Hello Have a frustrating problem that's greeted me back to work Running Exchange Server 5.5 on NT Server 4 with SP6a No problems prior to christmas, all that has happened to the server over the break is one of the techs have applied the latest critical updates as recommended on windows update, no idea if its related to this problem Basically, some remote users cannot access email through OWA where they could before no problem I can log into their accounts here via OWA no problem, and theres too many people with the same problem for it to be a mistyped password Issue Its only affecting users that dial in to our NT4 RAS Server (not the same server as the one running OWA). I've tried from home lunchtime and can access their email no problem, I'm running XP Pro at home and access via VPN, or alternatively can connect straight to the OWA server across the internet without the need for the VPN. I mention this as I suspected it might be to do with the dialin machines not being members of our NT domain It doesn't seem to matter whether the OS is Win2k or NT, same problems experienced I've tried with the username on its own, as well as in the format; OURDOMAIN\username But still the same At a bit of a loss right now This is the error recorded in Event Viewer on the OWA server, though I suspect it the generic 'you typed your password wrong, stupid' error Didn't seem to yield anything applicable on technet Source: W3SVC EventID: 100 The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'useraccount' due to the following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

RE: Internet mail taking an obscure extra step?
I think I'm on to something The network here is a privately addressed LAN, mailgate.partition.co.uk resolves to the firewall, which forwards port 25 to the exchange server The LAN network address is 192.192.192.0/255.255.255.0 set up before I arrived, I was a good engineer and gave the other subnets 192.168.x.x ranges :) 192.192.192.0 isnt a private range is it? When I put one of our server addresses into an IPWHOIS search, this tajen.edu.tw domain comes up as the owner I guess I need to change the network address range here? Yuck Anything else or a possible workaround? We are WINS only, DNS servers for internet access are at our ISP thanks -Original Message- From: Niki Blowfield - Exchange Sent: 04 March 2003 15:42 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Internet mail taking an obscure extra step?
