RE: ADC/Extending Schema Problem
ADC makes about 435 schema updates using .ldf files. Those files can be found in the \adc folder on the Exchange2000 or Exchange2000 sp2 cd. You can actually run them manually using ldifde.exe. You can also confirm the extensions exist with lpd.exe or adsiedit.exe.

RE: ADC/Extending Schema Problem
Also Brad, you can check whether the ADC schema extensions have replicated to DCs by using ADSIEdit or LDP to view the following object: cn=ms-Exch-Schema-Version-ADC,cn=schema,cn=configuration,dc=all your domain components etc Look at this object's 'rangeUpper' attribute, which should be 4197. The same idea applies to ForestPrep, but the object is Cn=ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt, schemaContainerDN And the value should be 4397.

Mail Sending order problems
Hi, Can somebody help with a problem that seems to have developed since lat week with Exchange Server. I will give some background details first: 1. Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 2. 20 users, using exchange for calendar, tasks etc functionality, with internet email accounts (pop3) for sending and receiving email. 3. Delivery options in Outlook 2000 Tools|Services|Delivery set to Internet E-mail at the top. 4. Exchange accounts set up with naming convention e.g Joe B (Exchange). The server was set-up approximately 8 months ago and everything has been working fine until last Tuesday, when it started to deliver mail for all users using Exchange instead of the credentials supplied in Internet E-mail. Recipients of mail are now seeing Joe B (Exchange) instead of Joe Bloggs [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] in the senders address. Hence when they hit reply they are actually sending to a non-existent domain. when one checks a mail in the Sent Items folder, the from address now says: Joe Bloggs [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]; on behalf of Joe B (Exchange) when it was working it used to just say: Joe Bloggs [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] At first I thought it was something to do with Outlook, but now realise it must be at the Server level as this is happening for all users, although the delivery order has not been changed at all. I have checked everything obvious and all seems fine - I'm the only person that administers the Exchange Server and hence know that nobody else has done anything new recently. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

RE: New Exchange Install
Title: Message I'm still not convinced I'd put 2000 users on a single server. Anyway, if that's what you've got, then the first thing that springs to mind is disk space. If your disks are 36Gb disks, then a very rough calculation reveals that 2000 users would have around a max mailbox of 36Mb each, so you'll have to control resources carefully. This doesn't take into account SIS, etc. Also, you may want to consider getting E2k Enterprise and configuring a single storage group with 3 mailbox stores and a public folder store. That way, you'd have around 900 users per store, and still be able to create a new store should you experience any problems with an existing store. You'd simply be able to move the mailboxes across from one store to another (although 900 would be quite a task). I'd consider your DR scenario carefully too. How quick will you be able to restore the service for 2000 users? I agree with your disk plan for 7 disks, though. The key is to separate the logs and databases as always.

Re: Mailbox Backup
Hey, Thanks for the reply. Which system mailboxes are you speaking about? I have Backup Exec on another exchange server and I get the error messages with user mailboxes also. I just tend to ignore them. I spent many hours on the phone with veritas on the phone about these error messages. I'm not sure what you mean by BLB. The reason why I want to backup individual mailboxes is for house keeping. I will continue to backup the IS, but would like to backup individual mailboxes also. Just in case if a user needs to restore individual mail, then I would not need to restore the entire IS. If I can restore individual mailboxes it would be faster and easier then the whole IS. I don't think there is an issue with Outlook being on the server. That set up is rather pain staking for Veritas. You need to set up a profile for the service account, etc etc. Be sure to NOT back up the system mailboxes. It will show a failure on the job everytime if you do. Is there a reason you are going to BLB?

RE: Getting Exchange working with a PDA
If you are open on the Cell phone vs. PDA check out www.wirelessknowledge.com They have an integrated solution with Sprint and Nextel phones. All the software is resident on the phones, so there is no palm software to have deal with. It accesses wirelessly over the web via a gateway server on your network, and it's native exchange access, with contacts, calendar's, the full boat. Most synching products don't give you everything wirelessly (to slow), or forward mail to a pop account, and then try to synch up what you've read or responded to from the pop account. These can be frustrating, and synching in general sucks. Much better to have native access to the data. Have a nextel guy come out and due a demo.

Do not permanently delete option
We ran into an interesting problem the other day and I'm wondering how others have configured their E2k (sp2) option of Do not permanently delete mailboxes and items until the store has been backed up. I'm thinking of unchecking the box but am wondering what the repercussions are. We currently have set 21 days on deleted items, 30 days on deleted mailboxes, Box is checked for do not permanently delete..., and we have limits on all mailboxes currently ranging from 20 to 100MB. The problem we had was that after a personnel shuffle (several account renames), after a few days the final leftover user account was deleted by the account operator, including home directory, roaming profile, and E2k mailbox. Within a few hours the department who'd had that user previously called up and said we have a temporary person here and would like them to have access to the previous person's files and mailbox. Account operator comes to me :) So, we decided in this case we could create a new user account, restore the files, and reset permissions. But, I went to reconnect the E2k mailbox and although it was on the list, it did not have a red X and I did not have the option to reconnect. It had been several hours since the user deletion, but I went ahead and synchronized our DCs and updated RUS. Even after another hour there were no changes. I guessed that it was not being permanently deleted because the backup hadn't occurred yet. Sure enough, the next day I had the reconnect option available. I checked the MS support site, but couldn't find this as a known issue--anyone have a link? How do others have this option configured? I think with our other retentions we would be safe to turn this off. And, what safety net does this really give me if I can't recover before the backup?

Re: Mailbox Backup
These are the notes I have: Be sure that the permissions are accurate, and that the IMS mailbox is not being backed up. I was also informed that: a.. It is not necessary to back up the Exchserver folder on the hard drive (Exchange agent handles this) b.. It is not necessary to back up the MSSQL folder on the hard drive c.. A media set must be created to adjust the overwrite options on the tapes. By default, the media set does not allow overwrites, and that is why we ALWAYS had to blank out tapes before they could be used (even new tapes). This will save us time on all backups d.. A status of FAILED on a backup does NOT mean that the backup is bad. You must look at the log itself to verify which portions of the Backup did fail. All other elements are good, and can be restored. A BLB is considered very bad practice, and unnecessary. If you want to restore individual items, and have the Store space, institute DIR. You won't have to restore items for users anymore either. THEY can do it.

I will give some background details first: 1. Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 2. 20 users, using exchange for calendar, tasks etc functionality, with internet email accounts (pop3) for sending and receiving email. 3. Delivery options in Outlook 2000 Tools|Services|Delivery set to Internet E-mail at the top. 4. Exchange accounts set up with naming convention e.g Joe B (Exchange). The server was set-up approximately 8 months ago and everything has been working fine until last Tuesday, when it started to deliver mail for all users using Exchange instead of the credentials supplied in Internet E-mail. Recipients of mail are now seeing Joe B (Exchange) instead of Joe Bloggs [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] in the senders address. Hence when they hit reply they are actually sending to a non-existent domain. when one checks a mail in the Sent Items folder, the from address now says: Joe Bloggs [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]; on behalf of Joe B (Exchange) when it was working it used to just say: Joe Bloggs [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] At first I thought it was something to do with Outlook, but now realise it must be at the Server level as this is happening for all users, although the delivery order has not been changed at all. I have checked everything obvious and all seems fine - I'm the only person that administers the Exchange Server and hence know that nobody else has done anything new recently. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

RE: Getting Exchange working with a PDA
Have a look at NowSpeed Mobile Office (http://www.nowspeed.com) It runs on IIS (SSL ready) and allows the user to use Outlook on the PocketPC or a web based interface. It also has sync'ing and alerting features. We are using NMO to connect users in Italy, New York, and North Carolina to our HQ in Kansas City. The software licensing is free for up to 10 users. Depending on your situation, I can highly recommend NowSpeed. If you need more than 10, as we will in the coming months, check out MS Mobile Information Server with the Outlook Mobile Client.

Installtion issue was: ADC/Extending Schema Problem
Ryan Kiste of Pacific Info Systems in Portland, Oregon. I revealed the answer to him on the phone while our account manager was also on the line. I suspect he will be laughed at for quite some time by everyone in the office. In the mean time, I have another problem. After continuing with the installation, we installed E2k SP2 and a few of the hot fixes including the information store hot fix and suddenly we were faced by any number of errors when trying to mount the store. we tried rolling back to SP2 and still couldn't mount the store. The answer from his 'guru' on the phone was to go ahead and rebuild the e2k server and start over before moving mailboxes. Problem is, after the rebuild it won't let me do a reinstall because the server object is already there somewhere. Our consultant hasn't shown up yet this morning (not really sure which one they will send today), but I suspect he won't know the answer. The installation suggests running in disaster recovery mode. Is this the best thing to do, or is there a place I can clean out the old server name entry and do a clean install?

Account operator comes to me :) So, we decided in this case we could create a new user account, restore the files, and reset permissions. But, I went to reconnect the E2k mailbox and although it was on the list, it did not have a red X and I did not have the option to reconnect. It had been several hours since the user deletion, but I went ahead and synchronized our DCs and updated RUS. Even after another hour there were no changes. I guessed that it was not being permanently deleted because the backup hadn't occurred yet. Sure enough, the next day I had the reconnect option available. I checked the MS support site, but couldn't find this as a known issue--anyone have a link? How do others have this option configured? I think with our other retentions we would be safe to turn this off. And, what safety net does this really give me if I can't recover before the backup?

I revealed the answer to him on the phone while our account manager was also on the line. I suspect he will be laughed at for quite some time by everyone in the office. In the mean time, I have another problem. After continuing with the installation, we installed E2k SP2 and a few of the hot fixes including the information store hot fix and suddenly we were faced by any number of errors when trying to mount the store. we tried rolling back to SP2 and still couldn't mount the store. The answer from his 'guru' on the phone was to go ahead and rebuild the e2k server and start over before moving mailboxes. Problem is, after the rebuild it won't let me do a reinstall because the server object is already there somewhere. Our consultant hasn't shown up yet this morning (not really sure which one they will send today), but I suspect he won't know the answer. The installation suggests running in disaster recovery mode. Is this the best thing to do, or is there a place I can clean out the old server name entry and do a clean install?

Life Insurance Spam with strange addressing
Title: Life Insurance Spam with strange addressing Has anyone seen a recent crop of Life Insurance spam coming in with strange addressing? Last week we received the 2 emails. Normally I wouldn't be concerned with spam like this, but if I look at the addressing it is coming from a valid address (of course it has to be of two executives...) and then delivering to staff. The first message reads from [EMAIL PROTECTED], to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but was delivered to staff. The second message reads from [EMAIL PROTECTED], to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and again was delivered to staff. The thing that really makes me wonder is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] no longer works here and her email address is hidden from the address book. The headers indicate that the messages are coming from our mail server, but obviously we aren't sending our self spam. Is there a way to spoof this? Possibly a worm? I've found references to the subject lines on Google, but no one mentions the addressing issue, only that it is spam. These are the subjects: $250,000 policy for only $8.50/month!

RE: Russian email problem
Lynne, I believe it would be a client-side mail format issue. What format are the messages being sent in? Our Security here guy is Russian, and his mail looks fine when sending. The exception to this is the subject line, which is plain text, so it has no Cyrillic characters available. I believe Outlook translates unknown characters to ?'s. The body of the emails he sends (and receives) is HTML and comes through fine.

How to setup internet email on E2k
Title: How to setup internet email on E2k We have now successfully migrated about 99% of our users over to our E2k server now. Thanks to everyone who gave my advice along the way. We have one 5.5 server and one E2k in the same site. Right now, all internet email is going through the 5.5 server and we need to get that role over to the E2k server so the 5.5 can be removed. This seems like it should be fairly simple. All our email goes from E5.5 to a relay server. To set this up on E2k, do I set it up as a new routing group connector? Or do I configure it under Protocols, SMTP, Default SMTP Virtual Server? And can I have an SMTP connector setup on E2k at the same time as the IMC is setup on 5.5? Will both deliver internet email or should I turn off the IMC before installing E2k SMTP mail? Thanks for any assistance.

RE: Why would an email?
Do you have problems receiving mail promptly from any other organization? Did this problem suddenly begin happening for xyz.com or is there no history of good performance? Be aware that it's very possible... 1. The e-mail path between you and Yahoo is fast. 2. The e-mail path between xyz.com and Yahoo is fast. 3. The e-mail path for you sending to xyz.com is fast. 4. The e-mail path for you receivng from xyz.com is slow. It could be intermittent and related to IP routing problems between you and xyz.com. Or it could be due to any number of intermediate mail server issues along the way. You'd have to look at the headers on the message you finally received for hints on where and how long it was delayed on the way. The ultimate test would be for someone at xyz.com to telnet to your mail server and create a message to you using only smtp protocol and then see what happens.

RE: Why would an email?
Do you have problems receiving mail promptly from any other organization? This is not always a good indicator... like I said there are rare examples where some mail servers have difficulty connecting to exchange servers without MX records. I've seen it personally here. Mail sent to one specific organization will sit in our queue for hours and hours with network host resolution errors... low and behold they had an improper mx record. Here's an example: Domain: somewhere.com Mail Server: mail.somewhere.com MX Record for somewhere.com = mail.somewhere.com Unfortunately, the poor saps set their email address up as mail.somewhere.com. Mail takes 6 hrs to arrive. If you email [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail gets there immediately (but unfortunately in the case somwhere.com wasn't a valid local address and it got rejected as a relay attempt). I'll bet you a 6-pack of beer that a message sent to his domain from the domain in discussion will be sitting in their outbound queue with a resolution error. Routing can be an issue... but it would be more likely that mail from remote domain to yahoo would be much slower than mail to him (unless he's burried way back in an exchange org with 32k CIR links...) -Original Message- From: Carl Houseman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 2:48 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Why would an email?
