Weird event error

2003-02-06 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Anyone seen this before?  I can't find it on the web or on the support site.  I am 
getting a ton of NDR's because of this.


Event Type: Warning
Event Source:   MSExchangeIS Public Store
Event Category: Transport Delivering 
Event ID:   2091
Date:   2/6/2003
Time:   4:37:29 PM
User:   N/A
Computer:   Servername
Description:
A message deliver to public folder store First Storage Group\Public Folder Store 
(Servername) with message class REPORT.IPM.NOTE.NDR is being dropped. 

For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp. 


The NDRs are showing this:

  Subject:

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce 
between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients.  Contact your

If someone can point me in the direction to trouble shoot this, I would really 
appreciate it.

thanks
Wilson

So far it's been three days.  

I was waiting an hour before I forced replication.

How long are you waiting between the time you create the new mail
account and the time you hit the panic button?

Anyone know of a document, website, or article that shows how a new
account is added to the GAL?  I'm trying to track down why we are not
seeing accounts in the GAL.

I can't see any event errors on the exchange server or DCs pointing to
replication issues.

Thanks,

Wilson

Yeah those won't be affected.  But I have a lot of addresses where the user account is 
Thomas Smith, but the SMTP was changed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also distribution lists and public folders that have SMTP addresses that are different 
then the display name.  Won't these get changed?

Thanks, 
Wilson

I don't know the answer to this, but I do know that the extra address
that I have added for my admin account (postmaster@, abuse@, etc) are
unaffected by the rebuild.

Thanks.  I tried the update now but that didn't work.  As for rebuild..
I'm a little concerned.  Does this stamp all the user accounts with new
SMTP addresses because we have made some custom entries and modified a
couple to have slightly different smtp addresses then what was the
default stamp.  Would all these get undone?

I just changed the primary SMTP email address of one of my users, waited
until it showed up as changed in ADUC and then ran the Recipient Update
Service rebuild.

The address I changed was not affected, was not changed to a secondary
and a new default address was not created for them.  I cannot speak to
what may happen in your environment, but in mine, running the rebuild
option didn't screw anything up. 

Note:  I did not try changing a public folders' address, but I doubt it
would be any different from a user object.  I'd say back that baby up
and give it a try :-)

RE: New accounts not showing up in GAL

2003-01-28 Thread Varghese, Wilson
This quote from MS Q319065 is what scares me.

If you perform a rebuild operation, all proxy e-mail addresses are recalculated and 
all address list memberships are verified. Perform a rebuild operation if you make a 
change to organizational policy on SMTP addressing (for example, if you change from a 
.com to a .net location or if you change the DNS domain name). A rebuild operation may 
take several hours; Microsoft recommends that you perform this operation only when the 
network is quiet

Can anyone shine some light on why the emails aren't being sent?  I made sure the

Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem with my home machine, even after disabling the pop-up stopper. 
 My problem was with Zone Labs software firewall, I had the privacy settings too high. 
 If you don't have anything like this running, then try going through your Internet 
Explorer options and resetting your security and privacy settings to default.

 Presumably you are going through a firewall when you access 
 OWA from home,
 and directly when you tried the laptop at work?  What happens 
 if you take
 the laptop home?
 
 Perhaps the firewall is using some sort of filter that isn't 
 accepting your
 reply request?

 Hi all
 
 I have an unusual problem.  When I access Outlook Web Access 
 from my home
 machine, I can see all my emails.  I can open my emails.  
 However, if I try
 to reply to my emails, I hit the reply button and the window 
 that normally
 allows me to reply never appears.  I can type a new email, I 
 just can't
 respond to an existing email.  This doesn't happen on any 
 other machine (I
 tried it at work with one of the laptops), just my home 
 machine.  I can't
 seem to find anything on Microsoft or Slipstick.  Can anyone 
 point me in the
 direction of a Q article that might be able to help me??
 
 Thanks

Unable to reply or forward to email in OWA, Exchange 2000

2002-12-19 Thread Varghese, Wilson
Exchange 2000 in a native mode child domain.
OWA server setup as front end server in DMZ.
5 exchange 2000 servers scattered across the world, one in each remote office.

For one office, they can't forward or reply to emails in OWA.  All other remote 
offices are fine.  

I've tried logging in as one of the users from my machine and I can't respond or 
forward emails either.  But I can from my own mailbox.  

looks like this is happening to everyone in that particular office.  The users have 
the same rights and everyone else.  

Anyone have any ideas on what I should check?

Thanks in advance,

Wilson

Indexing on Exch2k Sp2

2002-11-26 Thread Varghese, Wilson
I swear I get the weirdest errors.. 

Anyone have an issue with indexing all of a sudden stop working?  All of a sudden the 
last 4 days are not being indexed.  I checked to see if it was paused but it wasn't.  
It's scheduled to run all the time and it used to display new messages within a few 
minutes of receiving them.  

But the last message I can pull up with a search is from the 22nd of this month.  
Search on support site with indexing pulled up 56 articles but none seem to be what 
I'm looking for.  

What's the normal procedure for something like this?  Do you just delete the index and 
recreate?  Only change I've made is adding more Exchange servers to the environment.  
But these servers are at different locations around the world and currently they do 
not have any users on it.  

Christ, things like this are so frustrating... 

If anyone can point me to someplace that might have some information that would be 
great.

Wilson

SMTP connector and smart hosts

2002-09-18 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Is there a way to put multiple smart hosts in the General Tab on the SMTP connectors?  
I have two bridgehead servers I want to use to send messages to.  One in CA, one in 
Indiana.  Can I put both IP numbers in there enclosed in []?  If so, what's the 
separator?  Comma, semicolon, or space?

Also would this work in a fail over situation?  

If this, can't be done.. How can I create something that would do this?

Hello Everyone, 

There are two domains with two different exchange orgs.  One is exchange 2000

We are in the process of migrating users from the 5.5 domain/org to the 2000

from our org through a VPN connection. 

We just migrated about 20 users from one remote office onto our exchange server.  
(dumped their emails into a PST and imported them into a new account at xxx.com)

We put [EMAIL PROTECTED] as their primary SMTP address, but added [EMAIL PROTECTED] so 
they can still receive emails to the old address for a while.

Well now people that send them emails are getting a bounce message with the 
following.. X-Display-Name: lastname, firstname - MOVED.

I tried to create a new recipient policy but I don't know if I'm doing it right.  
Anyone have a step by step on how to do this by chance?  I'm going through the help 
files now but thought I would ask the experts here.

Calendar and folder switching is very slow.  Takes about 45 seconds to
switch to a different folder or to access the calendar.  Dismissing a

The log files and indexes are on separate drives but anything else I can

If you can point me in the right direction, it would be very helpful.

Subject: Slow performance


Exch 2k sp2 on win2k sp2 machine (with 150 users)  The machine is a Compaq
DL380 hooked up to a Compaq SAN.  The store drives are 5*32 gig (Raid 5) and
the log and index files are on a mirrored 32 gig partition. 

Calendar and folder switching is very slow.  Takes about 45 seconds to
switch to a different folder or to access the calendar.  Dismissing a
calendar event can lock up outlook for several minutes. 

The log files and indexes are on separate drives but anything else I can do
to speed this up a bit? 

If you can point me in the right direction, it would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Wilson

Thanks.  I ran perfmon but it seems to show that the HDD is being heavily used.  There 
is a lot of information in the calendars and quite a few people use it heavily.  I'll 
keep poking around, this just gets so frustrating when everyone is screaming in your 
ear that email is down.

Finally got this resolved with MS PSS help.  Apparently IIS didn't install properly.

RE: Server Protect on an Exchange Server

2002-08-30 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Actually this is right.  I had Norton virus scanner and the Exchange version running 
on an old Exchange 5.5 Server and when we got hit by a virus, it ended up quarantining 
the log (or was it the DB, can't remember) file and killing the exchange server..  So 
if you do scan with a file level virus scanner, exclude the Exchange, DB, and log 
directory.

I was having a discussion with someone on a Security List the other day who
said it was nonsense to NOT run AV on an Exchange Server. Just exclude the
DB's and all is well. I have heard also 2 sides: this is true and NEVER run
file-level AV on an Exchange server.

What's the group consensus?
And if it is aye! He's right! Is excluding all *.edb enough?

dial-up into the network.  It fails, can't find the server.  He can telnet
to port 25, however.  So, it appears you have to be connected to the LAN to
be able to find the server through outlook.  OWA works fine.
is this normal?  necessary operation of exchange server? network

All I have access to is my exchange server, so, I just need some direction

w3svc causes error 36

2002-08-26 Thread Varghese, Wilson

I was asked by MS PSS to :

1. Uninstall IIS
2. Reinstall IIS
3. Reinstall Win2k SP2
4. reinstall Exchange 2000
5. reinstall Exchange 2000 sp3

This was to resolve this damn bug with mail just sitting in the outbox for 30 minutes 
at a time.  Well now I'm getting this error on that server.

Event ID 36.  The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC'.  The error was 'The 
specified metadata was not found.

And people with mailboxes on that server can't access it with OWA, they get the error 
500 - internal server error.

I've been reading through the support site and so far nothing matches this error and 
the fixes I have tried doesn't seem to solve it. 

Anyone have any ideas?  I'm still waiting for the PSS person to call back but thought 
I would ask the brains in here first :)

Thanks in advance.

RE: Exchange 2000 SP3

2002-08-15 Thread Varghese, Wilson

We are running:

Two GC/DC in our SF office for the root domain, and one child domain with a GC/DC 
also.  

Exchange 2000 is on a win2k sp2 server in the child domain.  We have three exchange 
server, all win2k sp2, with exchange 2000 sp3.  One is our primary server in SF, one 
is an OWA server in the DMZ (front end server) and one in our Walnut Creek office 
(this server has zero mailboxes so far)

Outlook client is, Outlook 2000.  I'm not sure where the message gets stuck at, or if 
it's one particular message that blocks the whole queue and prevents the rest from 
being picked up.  

If you can give me some pointers on how to check if the message is in IS or 
categorizer queue, that would be helpful.  But we do know that if we restart the IS, 
everything works fine for a couple of hours and the process starts all over again.  

MS is having us dump everything and send them the log files and they are forwarding it 
to their debug team.  Let's hope this gets resolved fast because I got some pissed off 
users and managers.

I'm sure that's an important issue for several of the list members. So
can you expand a bit more on your environment and infrastructure? Do you
run Exchange 2000 SP3 on Windows 2000 SP3? How many DC/GCs are in place?
Is the Exchange 2000 machine also DC/GC?

I'm running SP3 now for a bunch of days on the test/development server
and production server and my mail is still getting delivered (as you see
right now).

Is it MAPI Outlook which causes the mail to not get picked up? Which
version of Outlook? What happens to the mail? Does it get stuck in the
Outbox or hide completely? Can you track down where the message got
stuck via Perfmon? Is it somewhere in an IS queue or Categorizer queue?

 I wouldn't recommend installing this currently if you have plans to.
 There is a serious bug that is causing none of the mail to be picked
up
 from your outlook clients until you restart the IS.  This happens
every
 few hours now when it was just twice a day last week.  We are all
 scratching our heads on this since there are no bad event errors even
with
 logging set.

 We have had this issue open with MS since last week and they first
blamed
 it on the virus scanner but that's not the case.

 The Tech at MS did confirm that a few other customers were having the
same
 problem so it's not isolated to just us.

 But as always YMMV, so good luck if you install it.. Just a heads up..

HELP, can I change the name of the exchange server?

2002-08-15 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Looks like the bug with SP3 not picking up email is going to the debugging group and 
the only thing I can do is rebuild my exchange environment.  

What I want to do is, create a new server and join it to the current site.  (MS has 
confirmed we can add an SP2 machine to an SP3 site)  then move the mailboxes over.  
(40 gigs of it will take all weekend at least)

But once it's done, I want to rename the new server with the old exchange servers name 
so the outlook clients can still connect.  Is this possible?  

Anyone changed a server name before and if so, what issued have you come across?

Please any info can be helpful.  This is kind of an emergency..

RE: HELP, can I change the name of the exchange server?

2002-08-15 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Thanks Kanee, 

My reasoning for removing the original server right away was because of the damn bug.  
I am still a little concerned that the mailflow might still stop with this bugged 
server still active in the site.  I could change the DNS entry and make it point the 
old name to the new server... One dumb thing is, we have developers that run scripts 
on databases that send email.  The server name is hard coded into the scripts so they 
all must be changed also.   

Christ, 14 gigs of public folders need to be rehomed and 40+ gigs of user mail needs 
to be moved in less then 2 days... And I was told I had good karma :P

I've read Ed's move server method, technet and support sites.. but nowhere does it say 
I can rename a exchange 2000 server.. did find one on Ex5.5 though.  (Wish I knew that 
last year :)

Thanks again..

Varghese,

For right now you can leave the first server up and running, once you
move the mailboxes over to the new server. You don't have to change the
server name in the clients outlook configuaration. After moving the
mailboxes over to the new server just connect a clients outlook without
making any changes, the mta from your old server will automatically
redirect your clients to the new server as long as both the old server
and the new server are in the same site.

Right now renaming a e2k server is hard. Since it uses AD renaming the

not sure that all instances of that name will get changed in the AD
structure, its just like renaming a domain, right now you can rename a
child domain but you have ti do a lot of stuff thru adsi edit to make it
work because not all instances of the domain name get changed in the AD
structure, not to mention the changes in the registry. That's why they
have made it easier to rename the child domains in .NET. But I moved a
exchange server from ny to ma, changed ips put it into a completely
different ip scheme and it worked like a charm, given that changing an
IP is much easier than renaming, but I think you should be ok to rename
as long as you make sure the new name has an account in the domain, all
your wins records are updated and your dns records are updated.

But if you are so concerned about the bug on the old server, once you
move all the mailboxes to the new server, why don't you just remove the
old server from the site, that way the old server is totally out of the
picture. JUST MAKE SURE YOUR MX RECORDS ARE POINTED TO THE RIGHT SERVER,
ALSO IF YOU DO THIS AND REMOVE THE OLD SERVER OUT OF THE SITE THEN YOU
MIGHT HAVE TO MANUALLY EDIT ALL THE OUTLOOK PROFILES. SO I SUGGEST
MOVING ALL MAILBOXES OVER TO NEW SERVER, MAKE THE MX RECORD POINT TO NEW
SERVER THEN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MAIL FLOW FOR A DAY, IN ONE DAY MAKE SURE
ALL YOUR CLIENTS CONNECT TO EXCHANGE SERVER, THIS WAY ALL THEIR OUTLOOKS
ARE UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE NEW SERVER NAME AND THEN REMOVE THE
OLD SERVER OUT OF THE SITE. HOPE THIS HELPS...GOOD LUCK :-)

Thanks Kanee,

My reasoning for removing the original server right away was because of
the damn bug.  I am still a little concerned that the mailflow might
still stop with this bugged server still active in the site.  I could
change the DNS entry and make it point the old name to the new server...
One dumb thing is, we have developers that run scripts on databases that
send email.  The server name is hard coded into the scripts so they all
must be changed also.  

Christ, 14 gigs of public folders need to be rehomed and 40+ gigs of
user mail needs to be moved in less then 2 days... And I was told I had
good karma :P

I've read Ed's move server method, technet and support sites.. but
nowhere does it say I can rename a exchange 2000 server.. did find one
on Ex5.5 though.  (Wish I knew that last year :)

Thanks again..

Wilson

Varghese,

For right now you can leave the first server up and running, once you
move the mailboxes over to the new server. You don't have to change the
server name in the clients outlook configuaration. After moving the
mailboxes over to the new server just connect a clients outlook without
making any changes, the mta from your old server will automatically
redirect your clients to the new server as long as both the old server
and the new server are in the same site.

thx

Looks like the bug with SP3 not picking up email is going to the
debugging group and the only thing I can do is rebuild my exchange
environment.

What I want to do is, create a new server and join it to the current
site.  (MS has confirmed we can add an SP2 machine to an SP3 site)  then
move the mailboxes over.  (40 gigs of it will take all weekend at least)

But once it's done, I want to rename the new server with the old
exchange servers name so the outlook clients can still connect.  Is this
possible?

Anyone changed a server name before and if so, what issued have you come
across?

Please any info can be helpful.  This is kind of an emergency..

Thanks in advance,
Wilson

Exchange 2000 SP3

2002-08-14 Thread Varghese, Wilson

I wouldn't recommend installing this currently if you have plans to.  There is a 
serious bug that is causing none of the mail to be picked up from your outlook clients 
until you restart the IS.  This happens every few hours now when it was just twice a 
day last week.  We are all scratching our heads on this since there are no bad event 
errors even with logging set.  

We have had this issue open with MS since last week and they first blamed it on the 
virus scanner but that's not the case.  

The Tech at MS did confirm that a few other customers were having the same problem so 
it's not isolated to just us.  

But as always YMMV, so good luck if you install it.. Just a heads up.. 

Wilson

RE: OWA File Attachments

Ellis, We have the same issue here.  Almost exact setup as you.  Whenever the file is 
over 1.5mb, the browser just hangs.  If you kill the process and try again, it usually 
works.  I tried to send a 4mb file from my DSL connection at home and first time it 
hung for 15 minutes before I gave up.  I tried it again a few seconds later and it 
worked fine.  

No idea what's causing this, if you find a solution please let me know also.  For some

NDRs on disabled accounts

How do I turn off the NDRs that keep coming for user accounts in AD that were

If the only way is to remove them manually from all the groups, then I can do that but

Anyone know what happens to emails that are being sent to an account that is

I tested this out, but the emails just vanished.  

I created a test store, and moved a test mailbox to it.  I then sent test
emails which delivered fine.  I then dismounted the store, and sent more
test emails.  I didn't get any NDRs so I assumed it's being queued
someplace?  Well I brought the store back up, but the emails are not in
there and after an hour, it's still not in there.  No NDRs still either.  

So what happened to these emails?

Subject:RE: Help with mail enabled Public folder

Well they all seem to have the right permissions... 

I did discover something though.  Only people that are having problems are
the Exchange 2000 users.  Exchange 5.5 users can send emails to public
folders with no problem.  Then 15 minutes later you see it replicated into
the Exchange 2000 server.

So this is where we are:
1. Exchange 5.5 users have no problem. (interesting though that since the
folder is homed on the 2k server, it still goes to the 5.5 server then gets
replicated to 2k.

We had the exact same issue with Exchange 2000.  External mail to PF was
good. Internal = NDR, but only for SOME users.  

With us it turned out to be an over zealous Domain Admin that had broken
inheritance in many places in Active Directory, and removed the Enterprise

RE: Help with mail enabled Public folder

2002-02-20 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Well they all seem to have the right permissions... 

I did discover something though.  Only people that are having problems are
the Exchange 2000 users.  Exchange 5.5 users can send emails to public
folders with no problem.  Then 15 minutes later you see it replicated into
the Exchange 2000 server.

So this is where we are:
1. Exchange 5.5 users have no problem. (interesting though that since the
folder is homed on the 2k server, it still goes to the 5.5 server then gets
replicated to 2k.  
2. Exchange 2k users can't send to public folders
3. Both 5.5 and 2k users can send to any new folders we create.

Does this info help a bit?

Thanks in advance
Wilson

Help with mail enabled Public folder

2002-02-18 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Hello everyone, 

Current setup..
One site, with Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000 server.
Public folders are replicated across both servers but all are homed on
Exchange 2000 server.
Exchange 2000 is in a child domain that is native for DL reasons.

We have a public folder called [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]   with an
email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]  so when you send an
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , it get put in the public
folder.  This has been working fine for over 4 years, but lately after the
Exchange 2000 addition, we are having issues from internal users that send
email to this.  They get the following NDR.

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

  Subject:  test
  Sent: 2/18/2002 12:47 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 2/18/2002 12:47 PM
The message was undeliverable because the recipient specified
has changed address permanently and forwarding was not applicable
sf1-its-exc-001.Exchange.kmv.com #5.1.6

Emails from a test yahoo account went to the folder fine after about 15
minutes so I am assuming that it's being sent to one of the servers then
being replicated to the other.  (our replication is set to 15 minutes)  

What I want to know is why the internal users are getting NDRs when the
external clients can send to it fine.  Please any info you have would be
great.  I have checked technet and support and can't find this error
referenced anywhere.  

Thank you,

Sorry, but internal I mean our normal outlook users in the domain that
connect to the Exchange servers.  All the other email works, I can send to
other users fine.  

I didn't do any MX record changes since the site was still the same, we
still have the 5.5 server as our primary until all the users are migrated
over.  

Hope that helps?

When you say internal users what do you mean?

The way you laid out the problem, it rather sounds like these users are not
using Exchange, but some other SMTP mailer and then relying on your internal
DNS to point it toward Exchange - yes?

If this be the case, did your true DNS domain names and/ or MX records
change during your upgrade?  I think you have an address resolution issue at
the DNS level.

RE: Help with mail enabled Public folder

2002-02-18 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Hmm.. users do type in [EMAIL PROTECTED] which resolves to same name.  So it
might be going out and trying to come back in.  Our MX record at the ISP
points to our firewall which forwards emails to our Exchange 5.5 server.  Is
there a setting where I can tell it that all internal emails to xxx.com
shouldn't go outside?  

But I'm still don't understanding why it wouldn't just deliver like it was
doing for the last 4 years since the only change was that the public folder
was rehomed to the new Exchange 2k server.   

There shouldn't have been any address change since no one is allowed to
modify it.

Perhaps.  Are you then also saying that your Outlook users are using the
external form of address ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) and thus
forcing it out through you SMTP gateway for routing by your relay host, and
then back in again?

You see, I am convinced that if they were mailing to the folder as an AD
addressable object from within, then an delivery failure should not be
possible.  Another possibility comes to mind.  Cached but obsolete addresses
gathered in the Outlook Contacts list.  In either case, or perhaps another
which has not yet suggested itself, an addressing change has occurred.
There are but two general possibilities: either the address being used is
truly valid and the resolution of it is failing, or the address is not
valid.

Thanks Craig.  I need to sit down with those guys and go through this also.
Just wish they weren't so damn defensive whenever you ask them a question.. 

Just an FYI, when you type in the address and do a ctrl+K in your outlook
(internal users) you get the public folder icon next to the name in the
search window.   (the little yellow folder with an envelop on it).  So you
know you are sending it to a public folder.

Subject:RE: Help with mail enabled Public folder

Remember, all (well most) SMTP addresses are relative.  It's not that there
is no such thing as a FQN or FQA, it's just that the combination of MX
records and relay host pointers can move mail with identical addresses via
numerous routes.  There is a difference between saying that a specific
address is no longer valid, and the process by which an address gets
resolved and the message delivered has changed.

One of the tools that you need, is a happy chart.  Working with your
network engineer, lay out exactly how name resolution and delivery works.
Do not combine any steps.  Your flow should read something like . . .

Client Path . . .
1.  Message picked up by MAPI services from Outlook.
2.  Message received by Exchange Server MTA.
- if address is in AD format, MTA attempts internal delivery
- if address is not in AD format, it is handed to a gateway assigned
to that format.

Exchange Path . . .
1. blah blah
2. blah blah

X.400 Path . . .
1. blah blah
2. blah blah

Digital fax path . . .
1. blah blah
2. blah blah

SMTP Path . . .
1. gateway receives message from MTA
2. Gateway looks up name of its relay host.  It is (write it down here!)
3.  Gateway calls its DNS server (write it down the name here!*) for the IP
address of its relay host
4.  Gateway opens port (probably 80) on its realy server
5.  blah blah
* note that if the IP stack on your gateway server uses a static address,
then the DNS server's numeric IP address is likely specified in your network
stack's property sheets.  If however you are using DHCP resolution, your
gateway server gets the address of its DNS server updated each time it is
booted, so you should lay out the details of exactly what your DHCP server
does, and so on.  The idea is to make sure that every last minute detail of
houw your system works is in a map in your hands.  You have to have that
map.  It is extremely important.  Your job depends on it.

Once you have a detailed map of how your system works, then tracing the
problem will be straight forward.  You simply follow the dots until you find
one that isn't connected.  It is asking too much to simply know every last
detail without having ever mapped it out.

OWA and large attachments.

I was wondering if anyone else have issues sending large attachments with
OWA (on Exchange 2000)?  I can send a 1mb attachment via hotmail or yahoo in
about 15 seconds, but when I try the same thing with OWA, it just hangs
there for several minutes.  Let it sit for over 30 minutes and still
nothing.  This is at the point where you click on the file and say attach.
Not in the send phase.

Anyone else having issues with this or know of a fix? I can't find any Q
articles on this, and so far nothing on their websites either.

RE: OWA and large attachments.

2002-02-05 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Ok, I logged on locally to the OWA Server and I could attach files fine,
even big ones.  One major difference seems to be the server is using IE 5.0
SP2, and the laptops are using 5.5 sp2.  I will check and see if 5.0 on the
desktop will work, to see if this is just a 5.5 issue.  

Anyone else with 5.5 sp2 that can test this?  Just want to see if this is
with all IE 5.5 or just our setup of it.

attach.
Not in the send phase.

Anyone else having issues with this or know of a fix? I can't find any Q
articles on this, and so far nothing on their websites either.

Thanks,

Subject:RE: synchronizing OWA with OST or PST

No.  This is a significant and long standing deficiency in OWA, and probably
an entrepreneurial opportunity similar to the one that ASL (now a part of
Extended Systems) worked on.

One could do it two ways - stupidly or neatly.  The stupid way would be to
pull the data from the OWA U/I.  The neat way would be to build an extension
to the OWA server that made the synch data available to a browser plug-in,
which in turn would update any of several local stores.  A good
implementation would support the following stores at a minimum:
.OST
Pocket PC and Pocket PC 2002
Palm/Handspring 

I doubt that it is worth doing a .PST synchronizer.

If you stop and think about it, it is really lame that a PDA can't call
Exchange, look at the store contents in a browser, and then synch anything
that is worth the bandwidth cost (time and money).  This is especially true
if you consider something like a Stinger phone.

If someone out there decides to build this, call me.

Anyone know of a utility that you can install on the OWA server or client
that will download emails from the Exchange server and place them in your
OST or PST?  And then upload changes to the Exchange Server?  I'm looking
for a way to bypass the synchronization required for people that work
offline.  

If you could point me to a website that would be great.. I've been searching
all morning and came up with a few calendar sync programs.. but nothing that
does actual emails.

Thanks in advance.

Exchange 2k OWA in a DMZ

2002-01-25 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Here is the deal:

We have a exchange 2000 front end and back end server.  The front end server
was working great as an OWA server when we did the setup and initial
testing. (inside our network).

Soon as I moved it to the DMZ, Exchange services wouldn't start on this
server.  We even went to the hassle of putting an any rule on the firewall
so nothing was blocked from the Front end server (DMZ) to the internal
network, and from the internal network to the front end server. 

Been working on this for over 2 days now and can't seem to figure out why
Exchange can't access AD to start.  LDAP communication is happening both
ways, I can log in to the server, etc.. 

Another kicker is, when I tried to uninstall exchange 2k on the front end
server, it says it can't connect to AD or doesn't know what site it's in...
WTF.. 

Anyone have any ideas?  Please?

Thanks in advance... 
Wilson

Easier to rehome them than to recreate.  If you bring up your second ADC
whilst the first is still running then on the General Tab of each agreement
you can change the server that that CA runs on.  You will be prompted to
retype in the connection username/password.

If you are really concerned set the deletion options to catch any
deletions in a csv/ldf file and then monitor those files.

Having said that I have recreated them without any issues.  Just check
Technet first as there are some articles on this very subject. Hint - Search

RE: Exchange 2000 - unable to mount mail stores

2001-12-17 Thread Varghese, Wilson

If you moved mailboxes from your 5.5 to 2000, then you probably lost your
single instance of all the attachments.. that could be a reason for your
increase in DB size.  Also during mailbox moves, a lot of log files are
created, I turned on circular logging during the mailbox move process so it
wouldn't create so many log files.  Then turned circular logging off after I
was done.  

As for not being able to mount your store.. There can be 100 reasons, check
all the event errors and see if any of them point you in the right
direction.

Subject:Exchange 2000 - unable to mount mail stores

Following what seems to be a large number of (5MB)log files, our Exchaneg
server was playing up.

We moved the log files to another location and things went back to normal.
 The same thing repeated itself 1 week later.  Moved the log files again
and since then all the services start up without a problem, however the
mail stores will not mount.

Public mail store is abnormally large - 6GB - was 50MB under Exchange 5.5.

Thanks for any assistance.

Forest and domain prep

2001-11-09 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Does anyone know if there is a formula to calculate the amount of time it
will take to do a forest prep and domain prep for a Exchange 2000 migration?


Or can someone give me some numbers on how long it took you to do it when
you did the migration?

I am just trying to see what kind of an outage window I should prepare for,
but don't see any documentation on this.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

RE: Forest and domain prep

2001-11-09 Thread Varghese, Wilson

Thanks Kim, 

We created a test lab environment to try out many different scenarios.  One
thing we really couldn't judge was how long forest prep would take because
during some of our tests, the time ranged from 30 minutes to 2 hours for no
apparent reason.  So I was afraid that it could take all weekend on the
production servers.  

Also if anyone knows... I am going to create a native mode child domain so
the delegations, distribution lists, etc will come across properly during
the in place upgrade.  Does this sound like a valid method?  We tested out
so many different ways to minimize the impact on the end user and we finally
had to break down and do the following method:

1. Offline backup of current Exchange 5.5 (currently it's a NT4 BDC Cluster)
2. Dump Public Folder permission dump with PFADMIN.
3. Shut down current Exchange 5.5 (fall back if everything fails)
4. Restore database onto a new Win2k (non DC), Exch 5.5 staging server and
bring it up
5. Create Native Mode child domain (so DL's and delegations can have a place
to be stored.  TechNet says that these will be lost if there isn't a native
mode domain available)
6. Do an in place upgrade of 5.5 to Exch 2000 (this is what everyone is
nervous about)
7. Cross our fingers and toes and bring up the server
8. If everything works, we will build a Win2k, Exch 2k cluster server on the
SAN and join it to the current Exchange Site.
9. Migrate users to the new Cluster server and shut down the staging server.
10. Move Public Folders and import the PFADMIN dump of permissions.
11. If things fail during any of these steps, we will just plug the old NT4
Cluster back in and users will get their email access back.

Since the site will remain the same, we won't have to visit the users
desktops, which is a big advantage.  Anyone have any recommendations on this
plan?  Maybe something I'm missing or some steps I can skip?

Thanks a lot for your help and hope everyone is having a good Friday.

Subject:RE: Forest and domain prep

Wilson,
as i recall, we first did the schema modifications by running setup.exe with
the /schemaonly switch.  this stretched the schema and lessened the work
to be done by forestprep.  it took about a half-hour in our forest.

forestprep also took about a half hour from the time we completed the
wizard.  domainprep took even less time.

i do recommend that you try all of these in a test lab - even a single DC
off your network somewhere.  there are a number of places where you can run
into issues - primarily permissions problems - that could cost you hours to
figure out.  you probably don't want that to happen during a scheduled
outage window on your production domain.

RE: Forest and domain prep

2001-11-09 Thread Varghese, Wilson

So it's not like other databases where you don't want people logged in
during schema updates?  I was just covering my behind in making sure that
users accessing resources in AD wouldn't cause issues.  When we did our
first forest prep in our test lab, it failed.  But when we ran it again, it
worked.  Only difference was, the first time, we were goofing around with AD
(checking permissions, creating new users, etc)

I guess I'm just a tad bit nervous.  This has to work on the first try or we
will have some pretty ticked off directors.
