RE: First OWA install
Not advisable. By design, Exchange 5.5 will replicate some DLL files from the server with the latest service pack. So those server with SP3 will get the latest DLL files from the OWA that is running SP4. Not exactly sure which DLL files are replicated over, can't find the exact article, nearest I can fine is Q147929, the following sentences, If this file exists on another Exchange Server computer in the same site, it is dynamically replicated the next time the IMC property page is opened. = I will suggest just apply SP3 to OWA, then later on upgrade all servers to SP4 later.

RE: Exchange Conference
To get back to Sherry's original question, the following is copied directly from Mark Minasi's newsletter (Issue #25, July 2002): TechMentor San Diego September 3-7 A terrific show that I'd attend even if they didn't pay me to be there. It's got great sessions and is in San Diego this September. Info at www.techmentorevents.com http://www.techmentorevents.com. For the past two conferences that have offered you the opportunity to take any Microsoft cert test for half price, so on the off-chance that you didn't see any sessions that you wanted to sit in on (an unlikely event!), then you could take a test. They even ran tests until about 9 at night. I'm doing Securing Your Network -- A Dozen Tips, Troubleshooting Group Policies, and Tuning Windows 2000/XP/.NET Computers as well as a general session. If you can make it then I surely hope to see you there! Frontlines Orlando Returns October 28-29 They said it was dead but they were wrong. George Spalding's Frontlines, the premier conference for technical support folks, is back (yay!) in Orlando (boo!) this October. In case you've never been to a Frontlines, it's a conference for help desk and support people -- on the front lines -- and offers two very full days of sessions aiming to build and refresh both the soft and hard skills that you need in order to get your job done. In the process, you of course meet others in our industry so at worst you have someone with whom to bitch about tech support life and at best you may find someone who's already solved a problem that you're struggling with right now. George and I will do our ever-popular Networking 101, where we explain every single networking concept known to Man in just three hours; I will do my talk about the best and worst of XP and .NET Server, and George and I will run Tech Support Jeopardy, where geeks vie for fabulous prizes and merchandise. Info at www.front-lines.com http://www.front-lines.com. Windows and .NET Magazine Live! October 30-November 2 Orlando What was once the WinConnections conference is now Windows and .NET Magazine Live! and this fall it goes to Orlando. In addition to the great content (which keeps getting better, thanks to conference chairs Don Jones and Jeremy Moskowitz), the magazine has now brought together all of the Connections conferences -- not only is there stuff for administrators, but developers as well. If you sign up for the entire week then you end up getting access to conferences focusing on 2000/.NET/XP administration, Exchange, SQL Server, XML, Web Services. ASP.NET, and Visual Studio.NET. It's a kind of superconference that ends up being quite a good value for your conference dollar. The speakers are an all-star line-up, including my co-author Christa Anderson as well as a long list of top-of-the-line experts. I'm keynoting as well as doing several sessions, including a new one on tuning systems. www.winconnections.com http://www.winconnections.com for more info. Kenneth W.

RE: Spam Control
I'm also using eManager, and I've seen a lot of spam that contain no words, only pictures. At that point, you have to open the email and View, Options, and add the sender's domain to the Anti-Spam tab as a new rule, with their domain in the Routing Domain line. If you've already done this, then I'm out of ideas. For instance, we get a LOT from Korea, and they're all pictures, so I've added co.kr in the Routing Domain line, and that takes care of a lot. I've also set this rule up to Quarantine instead of Delete, in case we get a customer inquiry from that country. Also, I have set up a Spam Archive public folder for the users to place their Spam mail in. Keeps my inbox free from forwarded Spam. I agree with someone else's response (sorry I can't give due credit, already deleted it before responding to this one) that there is a time/cost factor involved.

RE: OWA and firewall
It sounds like you have Integrated Windows Authentication enabled which won't work through a firewall. It is taking a long time because it makes several attempts to authenticate. It is probably falling back to basic authentication after failing. Basic authentication doesn't encrypt passwords, so you might want to change this.

Same server hosts OWA and our web site. If I go to www..com/exchange from a PC outside my firewall, I immediately get the login box. After logging in the OWA responds extremely slow (5 minutes to come up on a cablemodem). If I open a PPTP session from the same PC and then do this, the response is almost immediate.

RE: McAfee The final Results.
Title: RE: McAfee The final Results.
I
wished that too, and I "sort of" achieved it by removing the *.{*.*.*.*} and *.*
filters from the Internet scan job, but keeping them on the Realtime scan
job. Since most of the infections come from the outside, the virus scanner
will get to see them first. If the files are clean andmake it
through the Internet scan job the Realtime scan filter will pick them up, and
this keeps our internal coverage solid. I left all the other file filters
on both, which is why it only "sort of" achieves what I want, but it picks up
the majority of them. Seems to be working well, and gives me better
stats.

I can't speak for or against Trend as I've never used

OTOH, I installed Antigen a year and a half ago and I've loved
it. To my knowledge, we haven't recieved a single virus through company email
since.
The only thing I would change is that I wish files were
scanned for viruses before they were filtered by attachment type. I filter all
executables and Antigen doesn't give me a quick way to determine if a file is
a clean executable or a virus.

It is taking a long time because it makes several attempts to authenticate. It is probably falling back to basic authentication after failing. Basic authentication doesn't encrypt passwords, so you might want to change this. Jeff -Original Message- From: Joe Irvine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: July 09, 2002 8:40 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OWA and firewall Here is my situation: I have an exchange 2000 SP2 running on a Windows 2000 Server SP2 and IIS 5. Same server hosts OWA and our web site. If I go to www..com/exchange from a PC outside my firewall, I immediately get the login box. After logging in the OWA responds extremely slow (5 minutes to come up on a cablemodem). If I open a PPTP session from the same PC and then do this, the response is almost immediate. Is there something that I should be looking for at my firewall? My exchange/web server is behind the firewall and I have port 80 open to the server. The web site performs beautifully, it is only OWA that is sluggish. Thanks, Joe Irvine Director of Information Technology The Business Office, Inc.

The installation was relatively painless, the file extensions to block have to be entered manually one by one, the auto update for the sigs works great, their support people so far have been very good, the subject line content filter works well but is very particular, it uses, in my case four different virus engines and it makes me coffee in the morning. OK. So it really doesn't make me coffee. The bad news is I'm having an issue with end users not receiving notifications of virus laden emails. Antigen is catching them and stripping the infected attachments but not notifying the recipients. I need to rename some Antigen .adb files then stop and start all services.

Well I just got done replacing McAfee VirusScan with Trend OfficeScan on all my desktops, and I thought I would post the results here. Trend found 22 out of 84 computers had a virus on them despite having VirusScan with up to date (4209) data files installed on them. They were all set up to check for new dats automatically. Most had multiple infections, with one even having 6 different viruses on it. 90 percent of the viruses were Outlook based email viruses that somehow got through GroupShield, and VirusScan! I even saw several infections from KLEZ, and supposedly you didn't even have to be up to date on your DAT fields for VirusScan to clean that one. I just thought that this info was worth putting out there for those using or thinking of using VirusScan.

Change in IMS antirelaying settings betweem SP3 SP4?!
OK, I have a weird one on my hands; and the docs seem to lead me in circles. [Yeah, yeah... it's like putting me in a round room and telling me to piss in the corner...] Anyway, I rolled out a small Exch5.5/SP4 server on top of a self-contained NT4 PDC with DNS service for a 5 user office, for both collaboration and Internet email. When I followed the relevant MSKB articles to check Reroute incoming SMTP mail (which they need for about a half -dozen .COM domains). On the Routing Restrictions property sheet, though, is where the changes from SP3 to SP4 seem to have occured: In SP3 I would check Hosts and clients with these IP addresses and leave the address box EMPTY. This would provide the two benefits I want: 1) Any external host that wants to *route* SMTP traffic to a GAL recipient can do so; 2) Allowing authenticated users SMTP relaying (POP before SMTP emulation) regardless of originating IP address. If I check the Hosts and clients that successfully authenticate box then it rejects SMTP routing. I need the POP3 SMTP access for Mac clients, because of the LAN configuration Outlook for Exchange does not work at all. What did I miss in the SP3 to SP4 anti-relaying settings changes? Cheers!

Exchange 2000 Server Sizing
Hi All, I recall seeing a document talking about the problems associated with merging the public folder server and mailbox server onto one server. Can anyone point me to that? We are in the process of consolidating our NT/Exchange 5.5 servers into a windows 2000/Exchange 2000 environment. My proposed topology is to go with 1 mail server and 1 public folder server. One of the questions I was asked is why not go with just one for the two functions. I explained that with disaster recovery in mind, separating the two is a better idea...but I need more. Does microsoft have such a document? Thanks, Rodney List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

OK, I have a weird one on my hands; and the docs seem to lead me in circles. [Yeah, yeah... it's like putting me in a round room and telling me to piss in the corner...] Anyway, I rolled out a small Exch5.5/SP4 server on top of a self-contained NT4 PDC with DNS service for a 5 user office, for both collaboration and Internet email. When I followed the relevant MSKB articles to check Reroute incoming SMTP mail (which they need for about a half -dozen .COM domains). On the Routing Restrictions property sheet, though, is where the changes from SP3 to SP4 seem to have occured: In SP3 I would check Hosts and clients with these IP addresses and leave the address box EMPTY. This would provide the two benefits I want: 1) Any external host that wants to *route* SMTP traffic to a GAL recipient can do so; 2) Allowing authenticated users SMTP relaying (POP before SMTP emulation) regardless of originating IP address. If I check the Hosts and clients that successfully authenticate box then it rejects SMTP routing. I need the POP3 SMTP access for Mac clients, because of the LAN configuration Outlook for Exchange does not work at all. What did I miss in the SP3 to SP4 anti-relaying settings changes? Cheers! Dan Please CC any replies to me as I'm a DIGEST subscriber. Thanks! List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

Information Store Maintenance
Greetings Knowledgeable Exchange Admins Our Exch5.5/SP4 WNT4.0/SP6 information store is beefed up to 15.5GB. I was planning to run the ESEUTIL to clean up the database. I suspect there is a lot of space that can be reclaimed and by defragging the store things *should* run more smoothly. I have never done this so bravely I go forward, but not before asking for the sage advise of the list. A couple of things I would like to know are: 1. Approximately how long will it take? The box is a Dell PE2400 dual PIII-600 1GB-RAM. I'm just looking for a ballpark so I can schedule the time. 2. Are there any precautions, other than backups, I should take? 3. Are there any known problems with the utility Thanks in advance. Dan Munley List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

POP3 Issue on E2k
Anyone seen this.. I have a single e2k server running in a small 10 user environment. The 110 port is open for letting the users pull mail from remote but sometimes it just says connection closed after you connect. This even happens on the box locally. Stop/Restart POP3 in Exadmin, and MSExchange POP3 service doesn't seem to fix it. Any ideas? Sometimes it just works, sometimes it doesn't. Not sure where to look, I'm going to turn up logging because nothing is there right now .. Thx We are running Gfi Mail Essentials but that's bound to smtp only so shouldn't make a difference.

I was planning to run the ESEUTIL to clean up the database. I suspect there is a lot of space that can be reclaimed and by defragging the store things *should* run more smoothly. I have never done this so bravely I go forward, but not before asking for the sage advise of the list. A couple of things I would like to know are: 1. Approximately how long will it take? The box is a Dell PE2400 dual PIII-600 1GB-RAM. I'm just looking for a ballpark so I can schedule the time. 2. Are there any precautions, other than backups, I should take? 3. Are there any known problems with the utility Thanks in advance. Dan

Title: RE: Information Store Maintenance I sent my Exchange server on a round trip one day just before 5pm. It was an honest accidental event. I was remotely attached to it via SMS and instead of disconnecting properly, I rebooted it.
