Best practise for change the language template of a user ???
Hello, I have a particullar problem due to the historie in our compagny. All the people in our compagny speak eitehr dutch or french, so in the beginning of Exchange and Outlook ( 5 years ago), all the people got a mailbox in dutch or french version. A few years later they changed the policy and now all the users get a english version(template). So I have three different language templates. Because this gives troubles in outlook, I wood like to change those still in Dutch or French to English. What should I do ? I thought of deleting them completely and creating them again, in full english version? Because these users needs their data again, I thought of creating a tempory user, where I could transfer all the data of the user ( I don' t like export, because I need to get rid of the body such as calender, mailbox in, send items, because these are all translated and part of the language template). Then delete the user . And finaly start fresh over with a new mailbox. When this is ready , I'll copy the old data in this new mailbox. Is this the way it works , or has anyone better ideas ?

IIRC, the inbound messages awaiting delivery area corresponds to the MTS-IN folder, so you'll probably have to look at using the mdbvue utility.

RE: Maximum Contacts?
Assuming you're not using a PST, then I don't think there is a limit, as it's the same theory on how much mail a user can store. It would more than likely be a practical limit. If you are using a PST, then there's a limit of 16k items per folder as standard, 64k if you upgrade to large tables.

RE: OWA SSL Certificates
First thing I would recommend is to re-do your certificate so that it is correct. You can't fix the last warning about not being issued by a trusted company, because Verisign or another CA didn't issue it, but you can correct the first part, although you can add your site to the list of trusted sites within IE settings. Second, have you tried to import the certificate, or just download it? I believe that you have to actually save it and then import it in order for it to remain in your certificate list. I had no issues saving one wherever I wanted to. This I believe will take care of problems 2 and 3 that you are experiencing.

I had a similar problem. Rather than using message filtering to trash mail from the domain, I found the IP address of the offending mail servers and rejected connections. You could do this at the firewall as well. To reject connections in the IMC... Go to the Connections tab Click on Specify by host Enter the IP address (or addresses) (use a 255.255.255.255 mask for a single address) and opt to reject This should keep them from even connected... message filtering if i am correct still lets them connect and send mail (using your bandwidth and resources) and then deletes the mail. -Original Message- From: Carlos Dinapoli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 10:15 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Blocking domain via IMC Exist one Tab called Filter Messaging in Tab Connection *@domain.com.

RE: OWA SSL Certificates
Ben, thanks for your reply. I have re-done my certificate 5 or 6 times now and I keep getting the same problems. I have tried making the CA Name, Organization, and CA Description all the same as the site name and it does not correct my problem. Maybe I am misunderstanding what is being used as the site name. Is it the site name assigned to it in IIS or the server name? Also, I was trying to save the certificate on the client by viewing the certificate and then choosing install certificate which leads me to the Certificate Import Wizard.I then tried both methods of a) letting the computer automatically pick a location and b) manually choosing Trusted Root Certification Authorities. It successfully saves to Intermediate Certification Authorities under the automatic method, but it won't save to Trusted... at all.

You can't fix the last warning about not being issued by a trusted company, because Verisign or another CA didn't issue it, but you can correct the first part, although you can add your site to the list of trusted sites within IE settings. Second, have you tried to import the certificate, or just download it? I believe that you have to actually save it and then import it in order for it to remain in your certificate list.

Re: Strange problem
I may have come up with a solution to this. I have been experiencing the same problem sending to other Exchange servers. Another problem I hav seen is Protocol Error NDR's that contain an error similar to Polite people say HELO first. These errors are usually when sending to non-Exchange servers. The errors are because the default protocol Exchange uses is ESMTP, which tries to initiate a session with the remote server with EHLO, not the SMTP standard HELO. I disabled outbound ESMTP and both the Protocol Errors and the Host Unreachable errors went away. Details on disabling this can be found in TechNet article Q194132 Disabling Outbound ESMTP. ESMTP should be backward-compatable with SMTP, but this doesn't appear to be the case in all instances. I believe this to be a bug. I have been scratching my head on this one for a few days now. I am having a problem sending internet email. But here's the real kicker, I am only having problems sending to one domain. I have not made any changes to my server, Exchange 5.5 SP4, NT 4 SP6a. I know that the company that I am trying to send message to has just recently put there server behind a firewall. Wait it gets even stranger, I can telnet to there server and it does respond properly. When I try and send them a message I get Host Unreachable. Do any of you have any ideas for me?

Our ISP claims that they have no DNS issues that they are aware of. Any pointers will be gratefully accepted.

FW: 100% CPU when Synch
I'm not sure I buy this analysis...if a LOCAL virus-scanning utility is scanning email hosted on an Exchange system that also has virus software active, the ability of the client machine to request the next item for synchronization is REDUCED by the local overhead of scanning the item. If anything, the local scanning REDUCES the load on the Exchange server by limiting the rate at which the clients can task the server. We run local and server-based Exchange anti-virus software simultaneously, and have seen none of the problems mentioned. I suggest the problem lies elsewhere, and the original comment that ...a FEW of these (clients) are pegging the CPU is your clue. -Original Message- From: Benjamin Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 1:03 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: 100% CPU when Synch If you have AV on your Exchange server as well, turn that option off on the clients.

RE: 100% CPU when Synch
It doesn't reduce the overhead because the Exchange-based is trying to scan every piece of mail before it gets to the client. In the case of a synch, you are dumping massive amounts of e-mail to a local .ost file. If you have both Exchange and client AV software fighting to get to the same e-mails, guaranteed the Exchange side is going to win, at the expense of the client. It could also depend on the type of AV that is on the server, i.e. is it MAPI-based scanning, or AVAPI. I still don't think I would recommend running Exchange AV on both the server and client, if nothing else, than for the potential to cause problems. Call your Exchange AV vendor and see what they say. You may just be getting lucky.

Please help! OWA 5.5 on W2K
I have been attempting in install OWA for Ex 5.5. I am getting the error message that I don't have some of the neccessary NT hotfixes in order to complete the installation. Just for the heck of it I tried to install the NT fixes listed in the release notes, but of course they wouldn't install on my 2k machine. At first I thought it was because I had installed the security tool kit, and that it had locked down IIS too tightly. I tried uninstalling that, still with no luck. I also tried installing OWA on a different 2K server and I had the same results. I have seen postings from some of you that have OWA on a 2K.. am I missing something?

RE: 100% CPU when Synch
The server and client don't fight for the messages--the client tells the server to send a message, the server sends it (whether the server first scans it or not is irrelevant) and the client then scans it. The more CPU cycles spent scanning by the client, the less cycles are available to request the next message, reducing the server load. As you've seen from the follow-ups, disabling the local scanning has NO effect on the pegged client CPU--there is something else afoot. Your suggestion that scanning is unwanted at both the client and server level is unwise on several counts, starting with the scenario where the client has configured access to a non-Exchange POP server. And in the MAPI-scanning scenario, MS acknowledges that a server under extreme load puts higher priority on delivery than scanning, so unscanned messages can reach the client. If there's nothing scanning at the client level, you're in trouble, needlessly. -Original Message- From: Benjamin Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 1:26 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: 100% CPU when Synch It doesn't reduce the overhead because the Exchange-based is trying to scan every piece of mail before it gets to the client. In the case of a synch, you are dumping massive amounts of e-mail to a local .ost file. If you have both Exchange and client AV software fighting to get to the same e-mails, guaranteed the Exchange side is going to win, at the expense of the client. It could also depend on the type of AV that is on the server, i.e. is it MAPI-based scanning, or AVAPI. I still don't think I would recommend running Exchange AV on both the server and client, if nothing else, than for the potential to cause problems. Call your Exchange AV vendor and see what they say. You may just be getting lucky.

If anything, the local scanning REDUCES the load on the Exchange server by limiting the rate at which the clients can task the server. We run local and server-based Exchange anti-virus software simultaneously, and have seen none of the problems mentioned. I suggest the problem lies elsewhere, and the original comment that ...a FEW of these (clients) are pegging the CPU is your clue. -Original Message- From: Benjamin Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 1:03 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: 100% CPU when Synch If you have AV on your Exchange server as well, turn that option off on the clients. Think of it this way. Your Exchange AV program and your desktop AV (NAV-CE) are basically fighting to see who gets to scan the e-mail. Whoever gets to it first locks it and the other one can't get to it. Normally, the Exchange AV program will win. Hence, you have problems on your desktops. Turn it off on the client side, and I bet your problems will go away. It's understandable to want to have it running - heck, our Security team wanted us to turn it on, until we explained to them the hurt it could cause.

Interesting UDP port problem - Resolved
Good afternoon to you all: We just went through a very interesting evolution regarding our Exchange server (NT4.0 SP6, Exchange 5.5 latest SP and patches). Our firewall admin was seeing UDP packets, bound for various port numbers, attempting to depart for the Internet. These packets were dropped, but logged. These various IP addresses were mostly ATT dial-up accounts, or cable modem accounts coming in through our VPN service to the Exchange box. It seems that the Outlook client connects via both the native IP address on the client end, as well as the IP address assigned by the VPN. UDP packets bound for the VPN addresses are processed normally by the client. Exchange also generates UDP packets with the destination IP of the client's native IP address. These are the packets that the admin was seeing self-destructing on the firewall. This seems to be SOP for Exchange. I don't know how useful this information is, but it is interesting. Have fun you all.

I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. I will admit that I don't always present things in a matter which explains every nit-picking detail. I do know that it was explained to me some time ago exactly why we do not enable client-based Exchange AV here and while I can't remember every single detail, I do know there were valid reasons presented that stated why we would not employ this feature. I still pose the question to you of have you spoken to your Exchange AV vendor and asked them about having both server and client side scanning simultaneously? You never answered me. I don't know why you feel a burning desire to prove your overwhelming knowledge about this subject, and try and prove that I don't know what I am talking about - don't know if you noticed, but I'm not the only one that suggested disabling antivirus on the client. Or were you too busy thinking of a retort to my comments? I did notice that disabling it had no effect. I also made some other suggestions, or didn't you notice those either? I haven't seen any suggestions come out of your mouth (or keyboard, as it were). Your comment about a need for client-based Exchange AV is relevant when dealing with non-Exchange POP3 access. I agree with that. We don't allow POP access because of this, and other security reasons. The MAPI scenario, while acknowledged to by MS, I have never seen happen in a real-life scenario. Have you? We still use MAPI-based scanning, and process a LOT of mail, and this scenario has never happened to us. Then again, if you buy cheap AV software, you may be more at risk.

I will admit that I don't always present things in a matter which explains every nit-picking detail. I do know that it was explained to me some time ago exactly why we do not enable client-based Exchange AV here and while I can't remember every single detail, I do know there were valid reasons presented that stated why we would not employ this feature. I still pose the question to you of have you spoken to your Exchange AV vendor and asked them about having both server and client side scanning simultaneously? You never answered me. I don't know why you feel a burning desire to prove your overwhelming knowledge about this subject, and try and prove that I don't know what I am talking about - don't know if you noticed, but I'm not the only one that suggested disabling antivirus on the client. Or were you too busy thinking of a retort to my comments? I did notice that disabling it had no effect. I also made some other suggestions, or didn't you notice those either? I haven't seen any suggestions come out of your mouth (or keyboard, as it were). Your comment about a need for client-based Exchange AV is relevant when dealing with non-Exchange POP3 access. I agree with that. We don't allow POP access because of this, and other security reasons. The MAPI scenario, while acknowledged to by MS, I have never seen happen in a real-life scenario. Have you? We still use MAPI-based scanning, and process a LOT of mail, and this scenario has never happened to us. Then again, if you buy cheap AV software, you may be more at risk. None of us here are too worried about it.

The more CPU cycles spent scanning by the client, the less cycles are available to request the next message, reducing the server load. As you've seen from the follow-ups, disabling the local scanning has NO effect on the pegged client CPU--there is something else afoot. Your suggestion that scanning is unwanted at both the client and server level is unwise on several counts, starting with the scenario where the client has configured access to a non-Exchange POP server.

They left. Why should their email still be deliverable? I appreciate that this model would not work for a lot of companies - probably most of them, in fact.

However, getting supervisors to deal with the cleanup was always a problem. So we export to a PST, and copy that PST to the supervisors personal share where it occupies part of their fileshare quota.
