RE: Antigen filter *.*.* - worthwhile?
We use this filter and the only downside is that many people choose to hide extensions of well-known file types on their pc's. Thus, when they save, for example, a Word document the .doc extension gets hidden but most people seem to forget that it's hidden and save with the extension such as test.doc. Therefore, the filename of the document actually is test.doc.doc which gets picked up by this filter. They then send this document to your user and your user gets pissy that everything gets blocked. You then have to have that user make sure exactly what they were expecting and from who if you want to be safe before releasing it. Just an FYI. Hope it helps. -Original Message- From: Bob Peitzke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 5:36 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Antigen filter *.*.* - worthwhile? We run Antigen 6.2 on our Exchange 5.5 server. We were advised by Sybari support to include the filter, *.*.*, which they said are often viruses (e.g. annakournikova.jpg.vbs). We tried it for a while, but were quarantining too many valid user attachments, and they rebelled, so I compromised and removed that filter. We are filtering exe, bat, cmd, com, vbs, vb, js, shs, lnk, pif, scr, hta, htm, and *.*} (whatever that is). Also we are using three AV engines, and updating them frequently. As I understand it, the *.*.* filter would only come into play on a new virus for which we don't yet have the signature, and is some other scripting language that we are not filtering. I'd like to get feedback on the protection compromise of not filtering *.*.* attachments. How many of you are using that filter? Do you think it adds significant protection?

Lotus Notes Take Over
Unfortunately my company was recently purchased by another who is 100% Lotus Notes. They plan to make all US sites in the organization to have the same email domain name, ie [EMAIL PROTECTED]. There will be a central server that accepts and forwards to the other location sites own Domino servers via encrypted VPN tunnels. They have informed us that my companies three sites must convert from Exchange to the Lotus Domino servers to fit into their structure. I would like to keep my current Exchange server and use it to receive and send to the central Domino server (for cost reasons and the fact I know zero about the Lotus product).

No reminders for one user (me)
Title: No reminders for one user (me) Using Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT4 SP 6a. Outlook 2k I don't get ANY reminders. Other users do. I have default reminders set to 15 minutes before an event.

Public Folder Permissions ?
Exchange 2000 SP2. I'm having problems with permissions to my Public Folders. Somewhere during my upgrade things went crazy. I used the swing method (i think that's what it's called) to upgrade to E2K, re-homed my Public Folders, mailboxes, etc., then removed the first e2k server. Everything is working great except I can only give permissions to individual user accounts. Using the disty groups will not work. I'll make a disty group the owner of the PF, but when a member of that group tries to add an entry it says they don't have permissions. If I add the individual user account to to the same PF with the same permissions they can do whatever they want. Any suggestions?

Problems with mail queue
Hi everybody, I've setup contacts in AD with users RIM/Blackberry e-mail addresses and have individual accounts configured to deliver mail to both the users mailbox and to their corresponding contact. This seems to work great for most cases but for some reason I'm getting a lot of e-mails that can't be delivered to the remote SMTP server in a really weird way. The message in the queue sits there attempting to rety and I get The connection was dropped by the remote host. If I go look at the SMTP logs I find the last message from the remote SMTP server is OutboundConnectionResponse 25 - - 354+go+ahead 0 12 0 27625 SMTP - - - - But the message doesn't go through... The worst part is that when 1 or more messages go into retry it blocks up the queue and messages that arrive afterwards are not sent untill you delete the offending message and use the force connextion command. Shouldn't E2K be pushing out the rest of the messages while retrying the 'bad' message until it times out? I'd be gratefull for _any_ ideas as to where to look for a solution at this point. I'm using E2K SP2. Thanks, --- Luis Esteves Network Administrator Digital Connexxions Corp.

RE: Can you run OWA 5.5 on W2k Server
just replaced an NT40/IIS4 OWA front-end server with win2k/IIS5 (still using Exchange 5.5 back end) and had no problems. Just the usual stuff to do - all the latest service packs, security patches, etc for all components. W2K is a member server in a n NT4 domain and it all seems to be fine. I used www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/iis5chk.asp as a starting point to bolt it all down. I think there are a lot of other (and better?) references as well to excellent docs for hardening that system - should find lots of discussion in the archives. Some gotcha's with following the general guidelines like this one if you're dealing with specific apps like OWA 5.5 - i.e. disabling parent paths in IIS (apparently the asp code in OWA 5.5 needs this -- it barfed until I re-enabled it).

RE: Lotus Notes Take Over
Michael, we use the Lotus Notes connector (Exchange 5.5 to Notes 4 / 5) and have done for some time, it is far from perfect - but it does the job we ask of it - most of the time We run a Notes server locally - purely for show - and forward all our mail to there to get it into the Notes system used by the rest of RSA Group. We have problems with it falling over periodically - and the guys who support our notes server recommend re-booting it once a week because of a known memory leak!!! (and our CEO wants everyone on Notes ASAP - go figure...) The reboots tend not to happen - we like to prove the point (Exchange stays up - so Notes should - if it's enterprise ready) .. but this does mean that occasionally we loose connectivity - it's easy enough to sort - reboot notes and restart the connectivity processes in Exchange. Not perfect - but it gently reminds our local managers that Notes isn't really all that good - plus have you _seen_ the GUI??

RE: Public Folder Permissions ?
You have to use USGs and not UDGs. However, if you use UDGs, the store.exe process should convert these to USGs for you. So I'd look in the event log for any indication as to why this conversion process is failing. One reason it will fail is if there's any entry in the UDG that cannot be resolved by AD.

RE: Public Folder Permissions ?
Right... When we migrated I just rebuilt the groups as security groups and used the change as an opportunity to clean up and re-evaluate the groups and their members. I don't recall if they converted themselves during the migration (it was about a year ago) - I don't think they did for us either. W.

You have to use USGs and not UDGs. However, if you use UDGs, the store.exe process should convert these to USGs for you. So I'd look in the event log for any indication as to why this conversion process is failing. One reason it will fail is if there's any entry in the UDG that cannot be resolved by AD.

French OS connecting to US Exchange Server
I am working on a laptop for a French based salesperson we hired and am having difficulties. He ordered the laptop with the French OS (W2K) and French Office XP and I cannot connect to my Exchange Server. The laptop is logged on the network and I can ping by name/number. I'm not familiar with the MS multi language versions but do I need this to be able to connect the French Outlook 2002 to my Exchange Server - are there some obvious conflicts with files/DLL's?

Maybe I'm missing something (highly probable!), but I don't see where you can assign permissions to security groups.

RE: Antigen filter *.*.* - worthwhile?
Actually, no. The Internet Scan Job in Antigen, filtering on *.com, allows *.*.com to get through. This is a known bug. It works properly on the Realtime and Manual scan jobs - its only the Internet Scan Job which is at risk. I don't know if the issue extends beyond *.com to *.vbs. This became an issue last week with the My Party worm, where the Internet Scan Job was letting it into the system, but then the Realtime job was grabbing it. Antigen is working on a fix. In the meantime, Premium Support has suggested you configure your Internet Scan Job to filter on *.*.com. For more information, contact Sybari directly.

More SMPT help on Exchange 5.5 please!
ok, I admit I am still new to exchange 5.5 since I kinda just ended up as Exchange Admin.( no one else wanted the job!) Since the general consenses seems to be the Exchange 5.5 will not auto generate the second smpt address on account creation, I will deal. I have imported the new smpt addresses into the current acounts so that they now have 2 smpt address.(@abc.com and @xyz.com) Both smtp address are in the IMS routing tab. Users can currently can recieve from both addresses and send from abc.com which is the orignal address. I have the following questions: on NT 4.0 SP5 Exchange 5.5 sp 4 How do I change my outgoing smpt to @xyz.com from @abc.com. Is there a way to route @xyz.com addresses into the original @abc.com's smpt or visa versa. I understand I can change the default smpt address through site addressing. Is there a way to get @xyz.com to route into the orignal @abc.com without having it in each users list of e-mail addresses. Can I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] and exchange 5.5 will route in to [EMAIL PROTECTED] without me adding [EMAIL PROTECTED] to his list of addresses. (or visa versa using the new smpt accounts and routing the old ones?) does this even make sense, cause I may not understanding things correctly.

RE: Public Folder Permissions ?
I thought I probably was. You are exactly right, though. After some experimenting I found that the UDGs are not being converted to USGs. When I assign permissions to a UDG they are not applied. When I assign permissions to a mail-enabled USG permissions are applied. Which leads to a few questions: What should I be looking for in Event Viewer - do you know right off hand? What is the recommended way of handling UDGs vs. USGs? ie. I don't see any real advantages of a UDG if a USG can do the same thing. Regards. You're missing something. Just because a group is in the GAL doesn't mean it's a disty group. You can have a mail-enabled seccy group too! Neil Hobson Silversands http://www.silversands.co.uk Microsoft Gold Certified Partner For Enterprise Systems For Collaborative Solutions -Original Message- Maybe I'm missing something (highly probable!), but I don't see where you can assign permissions to security groups. Whether from Outlook or System Manager I am only seeing the ability to add permissions to disty groups since you must pull the group out of the GAL when assigning permissions.

repair mailbox
I'm having a problem with a user's mailbox. I'm running 5.5 sp3 on nt4.0 6a. The user did an export to another mail service (from outlook to outlook express) and ever since she has lost usage of her sent items folder. Messages do not show up in outlook that are in this folder, but do show up when I run exchng32.exe. I've unistalled and then reinstalled to no avail on the client pc. Is there some sort of repair utility that I can use or do I have to create a new mailbox. If I have to do the latter...how do I export existing inbox, etc information to the new mailbox? any help is greatly appreciated. jim in a bad way List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

Re: Moving mailboxes to another server
Arrrhh. Surprised Martin William haven't responded yet. At all costs import the PST's into your Private Information Store I can't count the number of reasons why PST=BAD, but lets start with the most obvious: 1. If stored on a network share they take up much more space than if part of your Priv.edb 2. They're less stable than the Exchange Information Store have a maximum size of 2GB. 3. User deletes PST from hard drive or computer is stolen and mail is GONE. 4. Information unavailable from OWA, or any computer that the PST is not located on. You can move the Information Stores to a NAS or SAN device, but I don't think you can just put it on another network accessable file share. Hard Drives are CHEAP, get bigger ones if necessary, 192GB NAS devices go for $2K-$3K. Quick overview: We have one domain controller and two member servers in the Forest; all are running Server 2000 with Service pack 2 and latest security patches. The Exchange Server has Norton 3.0 Anti Virus filters for the Exchange; we are using Norton Corporate Edition 7.6 over the entire network, with the client installed on all workstations. We have a 768 kbps DSL line with a Linksys BEFVPN41 router plugged directly into our 24 port switch. I setup DHCP on one of the servers due to having to disable the routers DHCP in order to do the necessary port forwarding for the Exchange Mail and Outlook Web Access ports on the Exchange Server. Question: We would like to move all data from Personal Folders in Outlook 2000 to the Exchange user mail boxes enabling their inbox, contacts, calendar, to be visible on the OWA page.

Surprised Martin William haven't responded yet. At = all costs import the PST's into your Private Information Store I = can't count the number of reasons why PST=3DBAD, but lets start with the most obvious: 1. If stored on a network share they take up much more space than if = part of your Priv.edb 2. They're less stable than the Exchange Information Store have a maximum size of 2GB. 3. User deletes PST from hard drive or computer is stolen and mail is GONE. 4. Information unavailable from OWA, or any computer that the PST is = not located on. You can move the Information Stores to a NAS or SAN device, but I don't think you can just put it on another network accessable file share. = Hard Drives are CHEAP, get bigger ones if necessary, 192GB NAS devices go for $2K-$3K. Quick overview: We have one domain controller and two member servers in the Forest; = all are running Server 2000 with Service pack 2 and latest security patches. = The Exchange Server has Norton 3.0 Anti Virus filters for the Exchange; we = are using Norton Corporate Edition 7.6 over the entire network, with the = client installed on all workstations. We have a 768 kbps DSL line with a = Linksys BEFVPN41 router plugged directly into our 24 port switch. I setup DHCP = on one of the servers due to having to disable the router's DHCP in order = to do the necessary port forwarding for the Exchange Mail and Outlook Web = Access ports on the Exchange Server. =20 Question: We would like to move all data from Personal Folders in Outlook 2000 = to the Exchange user mail boxes enabling their inbox, contacts, calendar, = to be visible on the OWA page. That brings up the issue of drive storage = space; is it possible to move the mail box/Pub stores over to one of the network drives on our storage server without reinstallation? =20 =20 TIA, Chris List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Doing test restore with transaction logs...
Hello again, Going to try to explain my question again, seeing that I haven't gotten any feedback yet. We are looking at setting up a hot site with servers, leased line, etc where a full backup location could be utilized in case of complete building loss. We are looking for a relatively reliable method to get our mail backups off-site nightly and we are discussing the possibilities of just send our transaction logs nightly to this remote site, along with 1 or 2 tapes with a full backup. If I needed to, could I restore the full backup, copy the logs for that week, restart the IS and once the logs are replayed, be back in business? Would this work? Any comments, articles, kb's or alternative options are highly appreciated. Thanks again, Mike Z -Original Message- From: Mike Zatkalik Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 5:15 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: 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. Thanks in advance for information, or even kbs that could help in this matter. tia, Mike Zatkalik List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: Doing test restore with transaction logs...
A MS PSS dude told me once while helping me, I just finished helping a guy restore an exchange server by replaying years of transaction logs on an empty DB. I would think it could be done then... How is your backup server integrated into your AD site? Need some info! jlc -Original Message- From: Mike Zatkalik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 4:10 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Doing test restore with transaction logs...
