Doing test restore with transaction logs...
Hello all, Trying to do some testing in regards to DR on Exchange 5.5 sp3 on NT4. We are looking into doing backups over the wire, and wondering if I send the transaction logs offsite, at the same location that has our full backup tape, can I do a restore using these logs? After reading through the 5.5 DR guide from MS, it sounds like you can replay the logs, actually sounds like you have to play them back, but what is the syntax of this command? All of the kb articles I see are dealing with recovering after transaction log drive is lost. Sorry for the newbie question, but realized that I don't know exactly how to do this. I have, numerous times before, completed a full restore to a separate server and recovered multiple mailboxes without any problems, but haven't tried to restore using the logs, for an up to the minute restore.

Win2k Relay server woes
All, Sorry for the crosspost, but either list could bring thoughts to this, and the Exchange list hasn't been responsive today - I'm not getting anywhere near the volume there that I normally do. I have set up and piloted a relay server using Win2k and its SMTP service. The box is up-to-date, fully SPed, etc. I pointed my firewall away from the linux/sendmail box that was serving as the outside point of contact for our email, and towards the Win2k box. I've notice several things: We have about 300 Exchange 5.5 mailboxes here. Over the weekend that I had this turned up, we got more than 900 NDRs, and a huge amount of spam. The spam I'm not too worried about (although if you have worked with an anti-spam utility on a Win2k relay box I'd love to hear about it), nor am I worried about the unusually high amount of mail to ex-employees. What I am worried about is the amazing number of NDRs that contain the following message: Action: failed Status: 5.6.1 Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.6.1 Body type not supported by Remote Host I've done a google on the last line of the NDR message, and all I found was a message from August of last year with someone else having the same problem, and no replies. He describes the problem quite nicely, too. (see http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/firewalls/2001-q3/1025.html) I have to wonder if this problem isn't related to another issue I'm having using this box to do relay to external hosts - it works fine for most relaying, but has real problems talking with attbi.com, microsoft.com, msn.com, and a friend's Exchange2K box that I've been testing against.

RE: e2k logs filling up
Title: Message Are you sure that the backup completes successfully? -Original Message-From: Benjamin Zachary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 8:48 AMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: e2k logs filling up Hey all, I seem to be having this problem in a couple of clients sites where over the weekend or overnight there is like 3-4 gigs of logfiles in the mdbdata dir. We run backup exec 8.5 and have it clear logs when done. I fixed one by turning up circular logging, but would really like to try and find a solution. Any ideas where to look? both are e2k/sp2 with all default settings, my initial concern was we are being relayed through thus causing high logs.. but i dont think thats the case..

RE: Spam question
It sounds like the perp used an Email address generator program. -Original Message- From: James Gosnold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 1:48 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Spam question Dear all, more of a curiosity question than an outright problem, we received a big spam mail last night, most of you have probably seen it, it's the one where the president of some Nigerian bank wants to do a deal with you resulting in your imminent wealth. The message has been doing the rounds for at least 3 years. The thing that puzzled me this time is that as the Internet Mail service administrator, I received the mail for almost half of our users mailboxes, it had the [EMAIL PROTECTED] part totally correct, the only thing was it had the e-mail addresses pre-fixed with 6 random (or they appeared to be random) digits. My question is how did the spammer get all these e-mail addresses? Surely they would only be resident on our Exchange server? It is an Exchange 5.5 server on our internal network. Regards, James.

Nope. -Original Message- From: Rodney Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 12:22 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Change the directory name of a mailbox Hi All, I was wondering if there is a tool you can use to rename the directory name of a mailbox? I don't want to recreate the mailbox and do an export/import.

RE: Ex 5.5 SP 4
My guess would be the core netserver setup file, but it depends on your environment. -Original Message- From: Callan, Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 7:29 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Ex 5.5 SP 4 Ok, I am downloading Ex 5.5 SP4 for our disaster recovery site, but the web page which holds the files has a number of them. Which ones do I need and what ones should I not even bother with.
