Hi Folks

I seem to getting these errors from time to time, and I'm not too sure
if I should be worried about them:

App: E 'Thu Feb 21 10:15:51 2002': MSExchangeIMC -  An error was
returned from the messaging software the Internet Mail Service uses  to
process messages on the Microsoft Exchange Server. It is possible that
the piece  of mail being processed at the time will be returned to the
sender as a failed delivery instead of being delivered. The message will
be moved to the BAD folder,  if possible, and the error is not a
temporary error. Otherwise it will  be retried when the service is
restarted. Use the appropriate utilities found in the  SUPPORT directory
of your Exchange CD to view and manipulate messages that have been
moved to the BAD folder.

RE: service pack install level

2002-02-21 Thread Neil Hobson

How true.  Perhaps the reason the service pack isn't being displayed is
because it's RTM?  :-)

The other option is to be flash and produce some simple VBScript code
like:

set objServer = CreateObject(CDOEXM.ExchangeServer)
objServer.DataSource.Open your server name here in quotes
wscript.echo objServer.ExchangeVersion

Is there a chart that shows the service pack level in exchange 2000? In
the MMC, going to the server in question and looking at the version
level displayed there doesn't tell either of my brain cells what service
pack the exchange is at.

Did I miss something?

We have a blend of both.  Why argue which is better when two antivirus is
better than one.  Interscan for NT runs between our firewall and Exchange
server.  Content management is also done on this server.  Once mail has
made
it through it then gets scanned by Antigen.  This setup works very well and
has saved us from many virus.  A good third tier solution is to have Norton
Corporate on the desktops (employees still use Hotmail, Yahoo mail to get
personal email).

 If you are weighing two products and they seem equal to you, compare

Unable to remove additional mailbox

2002-02-21 Thread Dave Vantine

After researching Swinc, Slipstick and MS KB's without much luck, I am
hoping someone has an answer to my problem. I had a number off additional
mailboxes set up to open when I start Outlook 2K. I went and removed a
number of these yesterday from my profile  the Exch services - Advanced
Tab and applied the change. All but one of the mailboxes closed. The
additional mailbox that is still showing up is now no longer listed in the
advanced tab - additional mailbox area. I went an added the mailbox back in
and when I apply the change, Outlook now shows this mailbox 2x. Removing the
additional mailbox again will only remove one of them from Outlook. Any
ideas?

Is there a way I can easily block incoming Emails from an address or domain.
One of our staff is receiving Emails from a very dubious source and whilst
we could create a rule for her in Outlook I want them zapped before they
hit the desktop.

I've checked delivery restrictions and this appears to only apply to
outgoing mail.

Yup I know it's an old version of exchange, but we're a very small
installation (25 users) and I'm just starting to plan a migration to SBS
2000 as I need to leave the system easy to maintain for the next person to
look after and what I inherited was a loads worse than it is now!

Any help (constructive!) welcome...

We have a stand alone exchange 5.5 sp4 which we need to run pop3 on and have
applied the fixes mentioned in the article.

http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=7696

We have a blend of both.  Why argue which is better when two antivirus is
better than one.  Interscan for NT runs between our firewall and Exchange
server.  Content management is also done on this server.  Once mail has made
it through it then gets scanned by Antigen.  This setup works very well and
has saved us from many virus.  A good third tier solution is to have Norton

  It's 
  easier to delete the few than count the many.
  
  However, I believe that Bill's right -- it's by users, not by 
  mailboxes. Now, if you only have 1 user per mailbox...
  
  And if I have a user who connects here at work, AND 
  from home (using OWA)? I thought we had hashed out the fact that the license 
  goes by connected device, so that user would require *2* licenses. Which blows 
  holes in my 1 user, 1 mailbox, 1 CAL" theory. 
  :-)
  
  Also, since NAV (and the administrator) both log in 
  (altho NAV is not a human), that counts as a CAL. But what of the other 
  accounts that also access other mailboxes (Free/Busy connector; System 
  Attendent)? Don't they need a CAL, since they are using Exchange-specific 
  resources?

RE: Applying Mailbox Limits....After the Fact

2002-02-21 Thread Steve Wyman

Hi William

I assume your observation regarding it not being a good solution (on the
grounds of price) is based on the thought that most people just need a
simple email system from an ASP?

If however they actually want the calendar etc etc features of exchange
then 200 is ok?

Your thoughts.

Exchange2000 Enterprise will allow multiple storage groups so you can
have
variable send/receive limits administered more simply.  Also, you can
keep
management mailboxes in their own store.  Restoration can be per store.
Other stores are not affected during the process.

Use the HEADERS.EXE file to build a CSV template of the mandatory and

export tool with the CSV file you generated with HEADERS and then set
the
limits you wanted on the boxes you wanted, then import.

Barring that, and you want to set a GLOBAL value, use the values on the

I read that it couldn't do that, but I'm wondering why anyone cares to do
that?  If you are worried about viruses being transmitted via ZIP files, it
seems that you should just block ZIP.  I mean, are you just trying to
prevent the users from sending ANY EXE files back and forth?  Basically the
only reason I'm letting ZIPs through are so people CAN actually transmit
legitimate files through and a good way to force them to use some form of

Subject:ScanMail 3.8 for Exchange 5.5 bug

OK, since everyone has been talking about this and Antigen lately, I'll add
this.

I just got off the phone with Trend's tech support and apparently there is
an issue with blocking file extensions.  I noticed that SYS and VBS files
were not being blocked, even though they were on my list (or Martin's list I
should say, although I don't think he had REG on his list and I do have it).

Anyway, the reason is because it is now performing the true file type
scanning.  I've already tested this and it does work.  For example, I'm not
blocking ZIP, so renaming a ZIP to EXE, which I am blocking, will let it
through just fine because it knows it is a ZIP.  So, in turn, it registers
VBS, BAT, my SYS (which was really a text file renamed) as TXT files, which
aren't being blocked.

The fix is to list them in the file name box (the box right below the
blocked extension list) as *.vbs;*.bat;*.sys, etc.  Seems to work so far.
So I guess to be safe, I'm going to add all of Martin's extensions to both
boxes.

Hope this helps someone else.

  Right; that's why I said

  Yes, but - usually - you have 1

RE: ScanMail 3.8 for Exchange 5.5 bug

2002-02-21 Thread Majetic, John RAME

You could get some mail monitoring software like mail essentials. The
majority of my files blocking, vbs, vbe, mpg, avi etc is done by my
antivirus software. Since we have departments that do send out, and receive
exes, zips, and jpgs, I set mail essentials to send all incoming and
outgoing files to me, and I decide on a case by case basis whether it comes
and goes.

This won't help for internal mail, but I have found if I can keep the new
elf bowling from coming into the system, then I really don't have to worry
about it be passed around internally.

Just as a mention for those of us anti-elf bowling time and resource wasting
file blockers, I have just added .PPS files to those I examine. I noticed a
large amount of the same file going in and out, looked at it and it was a
fancy Christmas card thing that was about 1.2MB.

I read that it couldn't do that, but I'm wondering why anyone cares to do

seems that you should just block ZIP.  I mean, are you just trying to
prevent the users from sending ANY EXE files back and forth?  Basically the
only reason I'm letting ZIPs through are so people CAN actually transmit
legitimate files through and a good way to force them to use some form of

Subject:ScanMail 3.8 for Exchange 5.5 bug

OK, since everyone has been talking about this and Antigen lately, I'll add
this.

I just got off the phone with Trend's tech support and apparently there is
an issue with blocking file extensions.  I noticed that SYS and VBS files
were not being blocked, even though they were on my list (or Martin's list I
should say, although I don't think he had REG on his list and I do have it).

Anyway, the reason is because it is now performing the true file type
scanning.  I've already tested this and it does work.  For example, I'm not
blocking ZIP, so renaming a ZIP to EXE, which I am blocking, will let it
through just fine because it knows it is a ZIP.  So, in turn, it registers
VBS, BAT, my SYS (which was really a text file renamed) as TXT files, which
aren't being blocked.

The fix is to list them in the file name box (the box right below the
blocked extension list) as *.vbs;*.bat;*.sys, etc.  Seems to work so far.
So I guess to be safe, I'm going to add all of Martin's extensions to both
boxes.

Hope this helps someone else.

Exchange2000 Enterprise will allow multiple storage groups so you can

Other stores are not affected during the process.

RE: Counting mailboxes - info from MS

2002-02-21 Thread Leone, Michael
Title: Message



So, I 
just got off the phone with a nice, perky young 'Softie. :-)

Here's 
the odd part ... I asked about the OWA coverage; she went and asked someone 
else. Result: if the off-site user is using a desktop system to access OWA (or 
Exchange, via a VPN), then YES, it needs a license. If they are using a laptop, 
NO, they do not need a license - since the Exchange CAL covers *both* a desktop 
*and* a laptop of a user.

The 
system mailboxes (Attendant, Free/Busy, etc) are covered under the server 
license, and so do not require CALs.

NAV 
does *not* require a CAL; the NAV for Exchange is supposed to be sold with a CAl 
for the user that NAV for Exchange creates.

Until 
somebody at MS contradicts this info, this is what I'll use to base my licensing 
purchases on.

Exchange is not licensed by mailbox.

It is licenesed by the number of users 
that will connect to the Exchange server.

Yes, but - usually - you have 
1 user, with 1 mailbox. And a number of other accounts - NAV, etc. 
So it's a good ballpark

So, since there's no user for 
"System Attendent" (as an example), I don't need a license for

I read that it couldn't do that, but I'm wondering why anyone cares to do

seems that you should just block ZIP.  I mean, are you just trying to
prevent the users from sending ANY EXE files back and forth?  Basically the

legitimate files through and a good way to force them to use some form of

Subject:ScanMail 3.8 for Exchange 5.5 bug

OK, since everyone has been talking about this and Antigen lately, I'll add
this.

I just got off the phone with Trend's tech support and apparently there is
an issue with blocking file extensions.  I noticed that SYS and VBS files
were not being blocked, even though they were on my list (or Martin's list I
should say, although I don't think he had REG on his list and I do have it).

Anyway, the reason is because it is now performing the true file type
scanning.  I've already tested this and it does work.  For example, I'm not
blocking ZIP, so renaming a ZIP to EXE, which I am blocking, will let it
through just fine because it knows it is a ZIP.  So, in turn, it registers
VBS, BAT, my SYS (which was really a text file renamed) as TXT files, which
aren't being blocked.

The fix is to list them in the file name box (the box right below the
blocked extension list) as *.vbs;*.bat;*.sys, etc.  Seems to work so far.
So I guess to be safe, I'm going to add all of Martin's extensions to both
boxes.

Hope this helps someone else.

Synchronization and archiving problems

2002-02-21 Thread lraskin

We keep having these problems with ost users, who has large mailboxes during
initial sync: it fails with a timeout message. 

According to MS (in article -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q264731) it could be
fixed on the server site, but even after recommended changes, We still have
very same problem. Same with archiving. If we create pst file locally and
manually  ONE by ONE will move messages, it will work. But if I want to
archive it come back with; .Item has been moved or deleted Even
everything still in in box.

Also number of users receive meeting request it automatically goes into
calendar while keeping request in inbox, so when he approves it in inbox
outlook creates a duplicate meeting in calendar - and he has two records -
one original waiting for approval and another approved from the inbox. 

We ran outlook with cleanviews switch and it fixed the problem, but if he
opens another meeting request and approves it everything is fine he gets
only single copy of it in calendar - unfortunately if he closes request
without approving it he gets duplicates again - one waiting for approval
another sitting in inbox.

TIA, Bigll

Using Outlook 2001 - when I resolve the name I start with IP

Static IP address even on the same subnet plugged into the

Not sure about the domain in the Additional Search Domains

  Did you get your problem resolved?
  If not are you using Outlook 2001 or Outlook 
  8.x.
  If your using the old version try Outlook 2001 from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/
  Also are you resolving the names using DNS. If so how are 
  the macs getting their IP address, DHCP or 
  static?
  On the Mac in the TCP/IP control panel do you have your 
  domain name in the Additional Search domains. If not it might help 
  having it there.
  
  I hope this info helps. I started off as a mac person and

fixed on the server site, but even after recommended changes, We still have
very same problem. Same with archiving. If we create pst file locally and
manually ONE by ONE will move messages, it will work. But if I want to
archive it come back with; .Item has been moved or deleted Even
everything still in in box.


Also number of users receive meeting request it automatically goes into
calendar while keeping request in inbox, so when he approves it in inbox
outlook creates a duplicate meeting in calendar - and he has two records -
one original waiting for approval and another approved from the inbox. 


We ran outlook with cleanviews switch and it fixed the problem, but if he
opens another meeting request and approves it everything is fine he gets
only single copy of it in calendar - unfortunately if he closes request
without approving it he gets duplicates again - one waiting for approval
another sitting in inbox.

Possible fix found -

According to PSS and some tests we ran, my Exchange server is not 
listening on canc_ip_tcp which is required for MAC connectivity. He 
has provided my a hot fix to solve it Q297534 unfortunately he provided me a

Here's the odd part ... I asked about the OWA 
coverage; she went and asked someone else. Result: if the off-site user is 
using a desktop system to access OWA (or Exchange, via a VPN), then YES, it 
needs a license. If they are using a laptop, NO, they do not need a license 
- since the Exchange CAL covers *both* a desktop *and* a laptop of a 
user.

The system mailboxes (Attendant, Free/Busy, etc) 
are covered under the server license, and so do not require 
CALs.

NAV does *not* require a CAL; the NAV for Exchange 
is supposed to be sold with a CAl for the user that NAV for Exchange 
creates.

Until somebody at MS contradicts this info, this is 
what I'll use to base my licensing purchases on.

Architecture question

2002-02-21 Thread Bob Falkenberg

Hello Folks, 

Currently I have 4 Exchange 5.5 SP4 servers running on NT4.0 here in my
server room.  3 user servers and 1 server hosting the IMC and OWA.  As part
of the disaster recovery plan and because of other reliability issues the
head of my group wants us to move a BDC to a remote collocation.  At the
same time they are asking me what servers if any from the Exchange site we
could move to the co-location.  They have a DS3 in place for connectivity to
the co-location.

I don't think I want to move the user servers but can anyone give reasons
not to move the IMC/OWA server to the co-location?

Subject:ScanMail 3.8 for Exchange 5.5 bug

OK, since everyone has been talking about this and Antigen lately, I'll add
this.

I just got off the phone with Trend's tech support and apparently there is
an issue with blocking file extensions.  I noticed that SYS and VBS files
were not being blocked, even though they were on my list (or Martin's list I
should say, although I don't think he had REG on his list and I do have it).

Anyway, the reason is because it is now performing the true file type
scanning.  I've already tested this and it does work.  For example, I'm not
blocking ZIP, so renaming a ZIP to EXE, which I am blocking, will let it
through just fine because it knows it is a ZIP.  So, in turn, it registers
VBS, BAT, my SYS (which was really a text file renamed) as TXT files, which
aren't being blocked.

The fix is to list them in the file name box (the box right below the
blocked extension list) as *.vbs;*.bat;*.sys, etc.  Seems to work so far.
So I guess to be safe, I'm going to add all of Martin's extensions to both
boxes.

Hope this helps someone else.

Title: Counting mailboxes



I feel 
like a right scrouge, looking at our system...

950 
mailboxes - 9GB.

We 
have been using limits since we upgraded to 55 and we discourage the use of PST 
files (Though in total, PST files add up to about another 3GB's).

Unix server acting as relay is at the collocation already but thats a good
point.  That server is going to hold the mail till we are back up.  Part of
the DR plan assumes we are going to be out of this building for a week or
more.

Hello Folks, 

Currently I have 4 Exchange 5.5 SP4 servers running on NT4.0 here in my
server room.  3 user servers and 1 server hosting the IMC and OWA.  As part
of the disaster recovery plan and because of other reliability issues the
head of my group wants us to move a BDC to a remote collocation.  At the
same time they are asking me what servers if any from the Exchange site we
could move to the co-location.  They have a DS3 in place for connectivity to
the co-location.

I don't think I want to move the user servers but can anyone give reasons
not to move the IMC/OWA server to the co-location?

RE: Removing Exchange

If you can't restore your Exchange database to a test server, are you sure
you can do it in an disaster recovery scenario on your live system?

Subject: Removing Exchange


Dear all,

Just a quick one I'm sure somebody will be able to point me in the right
direction for.

I am currently 'messing' around with a development server (NT 4.0) which I
am trying to restore our Exchange Server to. I join it to our network as a
BDC and then take it off-line, restore the backup thus demonstating my
ability to deal with a disaster and then also practice upgrading to 2000
e.t.c

I am experiencing problems restoring the database but this is another
issue involving the wonderful Arcserve.

My problem is that every time I botch up a restore it basically corrupts
the Exchange installation and I don't really seem to able to remove it
properly. Therefore a new resote won't work, I can't re-run setup so I
keep re-installing the server!

Basically the state I have at the moment is only 4 Exchange services
installed, if I run setup (to hopefully get the uninstall option) it
doesn't detect the current installation and attempts a new one which then
fails! I think what I am asking is does anyone know where to find the
article for manually doing a total removal of Exchange 5.5?

Thanks, James.

RE: Securing Exchange Server

2002-02-21 Thread Ben Winzenz
Title: Message









You can turn off unused/unwanted protocols
under the Site, Configuration, Protocols, properties for each protocol.
This should render the ports inactive and unable to accept connections on
them. You can also do the same on a per server basis under the Server,
Protocols, properties for each protocol. This will cover the Exchange
protocols only though.



I really think that if you are wanting to
filter that many ports, you should look at a firewall. Heck, even if it
is a software firewall to start with. It would be better than nothing.

Hey Folks 
-

Exchange 5.5 SP4 on Win 
2K SP2

Yesterday several 
people started complaining that server side rules no longer work for 
them.

Rebuilt the the rule - 
no good.

No changes have been 
made to the system and rules work fine for others (me for 
instance).

Searched TechNet but 
did not find anything that seemed relevant.

Any one else seen 
this?

TIA for any 
ideas.

You can turn off unused/unwanted protocols
under the Site, Configuration, Protocols, properties for each protocol.
This should render the ports inactive and unable to accept connections on
them. You can also do the same on a per server basis under the Server,
Protocols, properties for each protocol. This will cover the Exchange
protocols only though.



I really think that if you are wanting to
filter that many ports, you should look at a firewall. Heck, even if it
is a software firewall to start with. It would be better than nothing.

Title: Message









Can you tell us how you tried to set up
the port filtering on this server? Did you configure it by TCP, UDP or IP
Protocol? Also, remember that internally, if your clients are connecting
via Outlook, they will be using different ports. Do you have 2 NIC's
in this server? More info on your exact setup please. Ports 25, 80
and 110 sound like the ports you want open to the outside world. Inside,
I wouldn't restrict ports. It would get really messy.

is there no way to close ports not needed on the

Just allow port 25, 110 for the exchange to 
breath. So that all the 135, 137, 139, and the rest are 
closed.
