RE: NT user Exchange mailbox association
A brief description of the DSM in relation to Exchange: All objects in Exchange will have an ACL (Access Control List) as part of it's Security Descriptor the same as any other object in NT. The discretionary ACL (for it is he that we are talking about), will contain all users who have (or perhaps explicitly do not have access) to this object (the mailbox in this case) and what their rights are (each entry is contained in an ACE or Access Control Entry). When you log in to NT you get a token which, when you try and access any object (including logging on to a mailbox) is compared against it's ACL. If there is a match you get the designated access to that object.

I run Exchange 5.5 on Win2k servers here with no problems at all, in fact I believe it runs better on Win2K than it did on NT.

RE: NT user Exchange mailbox association
I'm still not sure I understand what you're asking.You seem to indicate that you think an NT account is created when you create a mailbox. Simply populating the Assoc-Nt-Account DOES NOT create an NT account. You have to create the NT account first then associate it with the mailbox. Your application will access a DC to get a list of NT accounts which you can then associate with a mailbox. It doesn't really matter where the application runs. As long as you're logged into the domain you can access the DC's list of NT users.

RE: NT user Exchange mailbox association
I do understand that I have to create an NT account before I can populate the Assoc-NT-Account and NT-Security-Descriptor fields of the LDAP entry. With reference to the discussion below: When my application is installed on machine B (domain controller, where Exchange is installed), new NT users are created and associations established properly. When my application is installed on machine C (the member server), I am not able to access machine B's User information. My application makes use of the AcctMgmt CoClass provided by Microsoft. This CoClass exposes interfaces like NTAccountCreate, NTAccountDelete, GetSidFromName etc. We chose to use this component instead of the normal Win32 APIs to retrieve the SID and Security Information, because we couldnt obtain the binary format of Security Descriptor attribute that needs to be populated for NT-Security-Descriptor of LDAP mailbox entry. -Original Message- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 6:52 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: NT user Exchange mailbox association I'm still not sure I understand what you're asking.You seem to indicate that you think an NT account is created when you create a mailbox. Simply populating the Assoc-Nt-Account DOES NOT create an NT account. You have to create the NT account first then associate it with the mailbox. Your application will access a DC to get a list of NT accounts which you can then associate with a mailbox. It doesn't really matter where the application runs. As long as you're logged into the domain you can access the DC's list of NT users.

Now, consider the case, where my tool needs to add a new mailbox into Exchange, then it also need to associate an NT user on the machine where Exchange is installed with the Exchange mailbox. Take the following scenario: a. Domain A b. Machine B (domain controller) where Exchange is installed. I assume this is the DC for Domain A? - Yes machine B is the domain controller for domain A c. Machine C (in domain A) where my tool is installed. Is this a DC also or a member server? - This is not a domain controller. It is a member server. Is it possible for me sitting on machine C, to create users in Machine B ? Create NT users or mailboxes?? Are you just asking whether you can run a program on Machine C which will be capable of associating NT accounts with mailboxes? The NT accounts will be created on the DC (not on a member server). Therefore, when you attempt to associate an NT account you will get the SID read from your DC. You can create mailboxes on any Exchange server, in any container to which you have access. - I want to create a new mailbox in Exchange. Correspondingly, I need to create an NT user who shall be associated with this mailbox by populating the assoc-nt-account and nt-security-descriptor attributes of the mailbox entry.

Are you just asking whether you can run a program on Machine C which will be capable of associating NT accounts with mailboxes? The NT accounts will be created on the DC (not on a member server).

Free Email Previewer/Screener For Outlook I recently went a few rounds with Microsoft Tech Support on the Outlook 2000 security patch which disallows receiving certain types of files Their response, of course, was that there was no way to fix it, but I COULD upgrade to Office XP to get a version that allows me to change those settings. No surprise, to override a Microsoft caused issue, I just have to give them more money. HOWEVER, there is another solution.

Personally I'd like to see it happen and get Trends but I'm trying to justify the cost as opposed to an already-free solution. Thanks.

RE: Database recovery help
Microsoft recommends an Exchange aware agent to backup a live database. Depending on what software vendor you are using you should be able to purchase an Exchange agent so you can do brick level backups and restores (brick level is to the mailbox level and down to a single e-mail). I know CA's ArcserveIT has the agent and I think all the other major players do too. If you can afford that then you should do a flat file backup but that requires you to stop the Exchange services then backup the priv, pub and dir.edb file. this only allows you to restore the entire database instead of a single mailbox or e-mail. I would hightly recommend the first option. todd [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1/10 1:07a Hi Todd, Need your help here, What is the best way to backup exchange 5.5 server according to MS.

Our Exchange server currently does NOT have an Antivirus add-on installed. I would like to see some kind of scanning software on the box for additional protection. Since we already have NAV for the Enterprise, we have a copy of NAV for Exchange as well. This would not cost any additional funds to get this extra protection. However, I am under the impression it's always a good idea to put a different piece of antivirus software on the Exchange server as opposed to the desktop to minimize the amount of time to retrieve updated virus definitions. In other words, if I have both NAV and Trends installed and a virus breaks out, Trends may have the definitions before NAV so we'd be better covered than if we had NAV on our Exchange server. Unfortunately Trends costs about $5000 or so (we have 350 Exchange users). Has anyone used both of these products and can help me determine whether the additional cost is worth the piece of mind? Personally I'd like to see it happen and get Trends but I'm trying to justify the cost as opposed to an already-free solution. Thanks.

Exchange 5.5 SP4 Duplicate Messages
Help! I have one exchange box running nt4 SP6a with exchange 5.5 SP4 on it. We migrated from Ipswitch Imail a year ago and everything to date has gone well with Exchange except for one nagging problem I cannot find a resolution to. Duplicate email messages intermittently will occur in various users Outlook 2000 mail client. I originally thought the problem was only with users who have both exchange and internet mail services configured in Outlook 2000. Those people were told to pick one and stick with it. Recently however, a user configured for IMO in Outlook 2000 began receiving duplicate messages as well. This is a remote user, so he dials up to the internet sporadically through the day and checks for email. The duplicates will appear in the first download of the day, but clear up afterward.

OWA on Exchange
Hello All, I'd like to get your opinion on this: Exch 5.5 sp4 on Nt4 sp6 We are in the middle of consolidating as many machines in our infrastructure as possible...can any of you tell me the cons of having my owa sitting on the Exchange server itself?

Granted 5.5 doesn't have some of the NEW COOL features, but from all that I've seen and experienced in testing XCHG2K my confidence wasn't improved at all to do a major conversion across 34 Sites in 27 States. XCHG2K also hasn't been too popular in the new email market (kinda like XP for OS's). I think the concept and design was excellent but it fell short on the functionality level to me. Not to mention administration is a LOT different and to retrain all 8 of our Admins(who are already Exchange weak) would have been more to deal with as well.

I should have mentioned in the original message that the resources in the Private Information Store - Mailbox resources showed he had completely downloaded all messages and the mailbox was empty. When disconnects with POP3 occur, I always send users to OWA to clean out the offending large file (usually a powerpoint presentation). In the past, when large files and interrupted pop3 sessions occur, users generally try two or more times and find they have many duplicates of a message. The problem I have here is messages are duplicated once and once only, so it appears to me to be a problem in the IS somehow. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 2:09 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Duplicate Messages If it was with Internet mail, it could be that his POP3 connection crapped out, and it is leaving the message on the server.

ol2002 out of ofice [sic] stopped working
Title: Message Any thoughts as to why Out of Ofice Assistant would suddenly stop working? Have Outlook 2002 with Exchange 5.5 server. Everything looks to be set up correctly. When I startup Outlook for the user, it notifies me that Out of Ofice is on, and I don't turn it off. But no responses go out to either local or internet users. I double-checked that the "disable out of ofice replies" in the IMC connector in exchang is NOT selected. This user has used the out of ofice feature successfully in the past. I think since we upgraded to Outlook 2002 (from Outlook 98). Any thoughts? Allan P.S. the listserver rejected message with "out of ofice" spelled correctly. I wondering why an archive search didn't return a single reference to this topic! List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

RE: Exchange 5.5 Event ID 1160
Title: Message in -V mode optimizer hasmany many extra screens to change/alter thread settings. Grab the Qarticle on optimizing your IMS and see if that corrects your problem. Do you have logging turned on/up in the IMS? IF so, what is it set too. It should be minimum. Max will definitely cause you problems. You should only use MAX settings if your trying to debug a problem on the IMS. In so far as volume goes, if you don't have monitoring software available, the best way is to use PERFMON and use the Total Messages hook listed there. This can be set to give you a 24 hour window of message sent if you wish. Then you can x5 that for you weekly loads.

RE: OWA on Exchange
Fred, I realize your question was directed to William, but I'm going to offer my 02 anyway. I recently completed a move from an NT4.0(SP6a) Exchange 5.5 server (SP4) to a Win2K(SP2) Exchange 5.5 server (SP4). The Ed Crowley method worked beautifully for me - no problems. Keep in mind that if you do go to a Win2k server, you will lose the NT BDC functionality that you had on your old server - everything else should work just fine. -Jim Jim Holmgren MCSE, CCNA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer Advertising.com We bring innovation to interactive communication.

But I know William would disagree... ;) -Original Message- From: Fred Valdez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 11:35 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OWA on Exchange William, I will be moving my old exchange server(ex55sp4,NT4sp6,BDC) to the new server(Nt4sp6). Is it any harder to move to Win2K server?...or use a different name on the new NT box? We don't use ADS as of yet so the install will still be EX55sp4. I may be using the Ed Crowley move method.

Cons: IIS and the related patches reside on the mail server. Server performance burdened with IIS and Exchange on the same box. Applying IIS patches to your exchange server can be annoying.

RE: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Duplicate Messages
How very strange. I wonder where that sort of thing is logged. I don't have much experience using Exchange as a POP server... -- Drew Visit http://www.drewncapris.net! Go! Go there now! In Germany, the Nazis came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me.

I have one exchange box running nt4 SP6a with exchange 5.5 SP4 on it. We migrated from Ipswitch Imail a year ago and everything to date has gone well with Exchange except for one nagging problem I cannot find a resolution to. Duplicate email messages intermittently will occur in various users Outlook 2000 mail client. I originally thought the problem was only with users who have both exchange and internet mail services configured in Outlook 2000. Those people were told to pick one and stick with it. Recently however, a user configured for IMO in Outlook 2000 began receiving duplicate messages as well. This is a remote user, so he dials up to the internet sporadically through the day and checks for email. The duplicates will appear in the first download of the day, but clear up afterward. It is all messages that are duplicated when this happens, not just messages addressed to DL's or multiple recipients. I can locate technet notes on duplicate messages in public folders, but I cannot find any info on problems with duplicate messages in user mailboxes.

Reassigning tasks
Scenerio: Ex55sp4, Nt4srvrsp6, Outlook2000 We had an employee who left recentlybefore she left, she reassigned her tasks to her manager...I have since deleted both the user and email account of the former employee. The tasks that have been assigned to the manager can be openned, but when updated, it wants to also update the former employee's task (in the details tab update list). Is there any way to edit and take that person off the update list. Thanks, Fred Valdez Global Software Resources I.S.
