RE: creating large distribution list

2002-08-02 Thread Snook, Kevin S (ITD)

Personal DL - Use a utility (www.slipstick.com has some) or contact me
offline to get one.
System DL - You will need to create each address as a Custom Recipient and
then create a DL with all these CRs in it. You will have to use Exchange
Admin Import to do this.

Take a moment to read this. You have nothing to lose.

2002-08-02 Thread eric

Hello

You may have seen this business before and
ignored it. I know I did - many times! However,
please take a few moments to read this letter.
I was amazed when the profit potential of this
business finally sunk in... and it really works!

With easy-to-use e-mail tools and opt-in e-mail,
success in this business is now fast, easy and
well within the capabilities of ordinary people
who know little about internet marketing. And the
earnings potential is truly staggering!

I'll make you a promise. READ THIS E-MAIL TO THE END! -
follow what it says to the letter - and you will not
worry whether a RECESSION is coming or not, who is
President, or whether you keep your current job or not.
Yes, I know what you are thinking. I never responded
to one of these before either. One day though,
something just said: You throw away $25.00 going to
a movie for 2 hours with your wife. What the heck.
Believe me, no matter where you believe those feelings
come from, I thank every day that I had that feeling. 

I cannot imagine where I would be or what I would be
doing had I not. Read on. It's true. Every word of it.
It is legal. I checked. Simply because you are buying
and selling something of value.

AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV:

Making over half a million dollars every 4 to 5
months from your home.

THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!
==
BE AN INTERNET MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!!

Before you say Bull, please read the following.

This is the letter you have been hearing about on the
news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on
the internet, a national weekly news program recently
devoted an entire show to the investigation of this
program described below, to see if it really can make
people money. The show also investigated whether or
not the program was legal.

Their findings proved once and for all that there are
absolutely NO laws prohibiting the participation in
the program and if people can 'follow the simple
instructions' they are bound to make some mega bucks
with only $25 out of pocket cost.

DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY  RESPECT
THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING
BETTER THAN EVER.

This is what one had to say: Thanks to this
profitable opportunity. I was approached many times
before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad
I finally joined just to see what one could expect
in return for the minimal effort and money required.
To my astonishment, I received a total $610,470.00
in 21 weeks, with money still coming in.

Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey.
==
Another said: This program has been around for a
long time but I never believed in it. But one day
when I received this again in the mail I decided
to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple
instructions and walaa . 3 weeks later the
money started to come in. First month I only made
$240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made
a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months
by re-entering the program, I have made over
$710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to
success in this program is to follow the simple
steps and NOT change anything.

More testimonials later but first, ===

 PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE 


If you would like to make at least $500,000 every
4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the
following...THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN!!!



FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND 
YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED!

INSTRUCTIONS:

=Order all 5 reports shown on the list below =

For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME  NUMBER OF THE
REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the
person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report.
MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON  YOUR ENVELOPE TOP
LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems.

===WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER, MAKE SURE ===
===YOU ORDER EACH OF THE 5 REPORTS! ===
You will need all 5 reports so that you can save
them on your computer and resell them.
YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5 = $25.00.

Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each
of the 5 reports from these 5 different individuals.
Save them on your computer so they will be accessible
for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will
order them from you. Also make a floppy of these
reports and keep it on your desk in case something
happens to your computer.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who
are listed next to each report, or their sequence on
the list, in any way other than what is instructed
below in steps 1 through 6 or you will lose out
on the majority of your profits. Once you
understand the way this works, you will also
see how it will not work if you change it. 

Remember, this method has been tested, and if you
alter it, it will NOT work!!! People have tried

Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story

2002-08-02 Thread Tom.Gray

This is just an informational post, you're welcome to comment on it but I'm
not really asking any questions.  Just thought folks out there getting ready
to upgrade might want to hear the story.  I just spent the night upgrading
(or trying to upgrade) my exchange 5.5 server.

We have a very simple network.  1 domain.   200 users.  1 exchange server.
2 domain controllers (not the exchange server).


Started about 2 weeks ago prepping for upgrade.  Armed with:
  White Paper  in-place upgrade from msoft exchange 5.5 to msoft exchange
2000 
  Q316886  How To:  Migrate from exchange server 5.5 to exchange 2000
server
  Q282309  upgrading exchange server 5.5 service pack 4 to exchange 2000
server
  Q295922  considerations when you upgrade to exchange 2000 server
  Q296260  how to configure a two-way recipient connection agreement for
exchange server 5.5 users
  Q253829  description of the active directory connector deletion
mechanism

And, of course, monitored this list (and the sun-exchange) one for upgrade
ideas!


Now some of the documents have conflicting information.  If you weed thru
the dates and such you can usually figure out what is really true.  For
example, the white paper states you MUST have at least one domain running in
native mode, but the HOW TO describes a scenario where all domains are in
mixed mode.

  With the domain controllers upgraded to win2k active directory (mixed
mode) last month I tackled the exchange upgrade this month.  Went thru the
white paper and how to, updating the schema  (forestprep and domainprep) and
ran all the tests listed in those docs to verify it was working.  Got
exactly the results they told me!

  First time I ran the actual upgrade got my first rude surprise.  My vendor
had shipped me the Exchange 2000 standard edition media (which doesn't
really say standard on it, just Exchange 2000) and the upgrade process
stopped immediately with You can't go from enterprise to standard you
idiot   
  Two days later I have the correct media.  Take the server off the network
and run an online backup (Veritas backup exec with exchange option).  Verify
the backup worked.
  With exchange services down get back on the network and run domain tests
again.  Everything ok!
  Run the upgrade!   The upgrade goes thru several processes but hangs at
Setup failed while installing sub-component Site Replication Service with
error code 0xC007041D -- retry or cancel  search MS knowledge base and
looks like a permissions issue  (Q278254 and Q273730).  Hmm, make sure the
exchange service account has all the permissions and click retry.  Still no
work.  Rats.  Getting late so time to make the $250 call to PSS!
   PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works.  They have me change the
service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to SERVICE
ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct).  Still no joy.  Try
to cancel out of that error message.  Nada.  Have to task manager/shut down
process.  They then refer me to the ultimate nightmare:  Q264309 - How to
Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000.
   Yuck.  Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr
folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all service
packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed exchsrvr folders,
setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info store.
   Restoring directory service doesn't work.  Call PSS back.  Directory
service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service.
Change to manual start and reboot. Directory restores!!!
   Restore info store.  (8 gigs).  2 hours later ready to go!  (almost)  Now
the internet mail connector isn't working.  Dawn is breaking and panic
begins to creep in.   Users will be screaming in about 2 hours.  Call PSS
again.  End up deleting the IMC and creating a new one.  They very patiently
step me through lots of good stuff, including making sure I'm not an
internet relay and that I'm not doing circular logs.  They even stand by
while I reinstall my Anti-virus for exchange.  Everything is working.  It's
now 7am and I'm back to my original pre-upgrade status from 7pm the night
before.

  Problem summary:  PSS thinks that the problem was caused by the mail
service account user not having complete permissions at the org container.
By the time this was corrected by PSS (and me) the upgrade was stuck.  They
are pretty sure and reasonably confident the upgrade will work next
time.

  Moral:  MAKE BACKUPS.  PLAN FOR EXTRA TIME.  PSS is your friend (I was on
the phone with them for about 4 hours)

This was so much fun we're planning another attempt.  This will be on a
Saturday morning so I'll have lots of time to recover (or celebrate).

RE: contacts question

2002-08-02 Thread Steve Balen


Let me explain what it is that is wanting to be done.

The execs want to automate the import of contacts from a central managed
location (a csv file) to their own personal contacts because they want
the blackberry pins up-to-date. But they also want this secured. They do
not want duplicates or current records being over-written. Believe me,
the gal option and the common public folder contacts list has been
suggested but the execs are lazy and want this to be automated.

RE: contacts question

2002-08-02 Thread Martin Blackstone

Why are you using PIN to PIN with the Blackberry? While it is certainly an
option, the easiest to create a PF and put the staff contacts in there, then
import them with SMTP addys into the contacts folder.

You will inevitably have dupes. If a there is a contact called Joe Smith in
the users folder, but the CSV or whatever has Joseph Smith, your going to
get a dupe.

This is just another reason that I do not like upgrades.  Migrations -
yes.  Upgrades - NO.  I do not think I would ever attempt to upgrade my 5.5

This is just an informational post, you're welcome to comment on it but I'm
not really asking any questions.  Just thought folks out there getting ready
to upgrade might want to hear the story.  I just spent the night upgrading
(or trying to upgrade) my exchange 5.5 server.

We have a very simple network.  1 domain.   200 users.  1 exchange server.
2 domain controllers (not the exchange server).


Started about 2 weeks ago prepping for upgrade.  Armed with:
  White Paper  in-place upgrade from msoft exchange 5.5 to msoft exchange
2000

  Q296260  how to configure a two-way recipient connection agreement for
exchange server 5.5 users
  Q253829  description of the active directory connector deletion
mechanism

And, of course, monitored this list (and the sun-exchange) one for upgrade
ideas!


Now some of the documents have conflicting information.  If you weed thru
the dates and such you can usually figure out what is really true.  For
example, the white paper states you MUST have at least one domain running in
native mode, but the HOW TO describes a scenario where all domains are in
mixed mode.

  With the domain controllers upgraded to win2k active directory (mixed
mode) last month I tackled the exchange upgrade this month.  Went thru the
white paper and how to, updating the schema  (forestprep and domainprep) and
ran all the tests listed in those docs to verify it was working.  Got
exactly the results they told me!

  First time I ran the actual upgrade got my first rude surprise.  My vendor
had shipped me the Exchange 2000 standard edition media (which doesn't
really say standard on it, just Exchange 2000) and the upgrade process
stopped immediately with You can't go from enterprise to standard you
idiot   
  Two days later I have the correct media.  Take the server off the network
and run an online backup (Veritas backup exec with exchange option).  Verify
the backup worked.
  With exchange services down get back on the network and run domain tests
again.  Everything ok!
  Run the upgrade!   The upgrade goes thru several processes but hangs at
Setup failed while installing sub-component Site Replication Service with
error code 0xC007041D -- retry or cancel  search MS knowledge base and
looks like a permissions issue  (Q278254 and Q273730).  Hmm, make sure the
exchange service account has all the permissions and click retry.  Still no
work.  Rats.  Getting late so time to make the $250 call to PSS!
   PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works.  They have me change the
service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to SERVICE
ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct).  Still no joy.  Try
to cancel out of that error message.  Nada.  Have to task manager/shut down
process.  They then refer me to the ultimate nightmare:  Q264309 - How to
Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000.
   Yuck.  Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr
folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all service
packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed exchsrvr folders,
setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info store.
   Restoring directory service doesn't work.  Call PSS back.  Directory
service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service.
Change to manual start and reboot. Directory restores!!!
   Restore info store.  (8 gigs).  2 hours later ready to go!  (almost)  Now
the internet mail connector isn't working.  Dawn is breaking and panic
begins to creep in.   Users will be screaming in about 2 hours.  Call PSS
again.  End up deleting the IMC and creating a new one.  They very patiently
step me through lots of good stuff, including making sure I'm not an
internet relay and that I'm not doing circular logs.  They even stand by
while I reinstall my Anti-virus for exchange.  Everything is working.  It's
now 7am and I'm back to my original pre-upgrade status from 7pm the night
before.

RE: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story

2002-08-02 Thread Patrick Baird

I agree, although some of us less fortunate don't have the ability to
buy new hardware, so what we do is find a low-end server or high-end
desktop and temporarily move Exchange 5.5 production to it.  Rebuild the
former 5.5 to 2000, then migrate the server.

So your on a lower powered machine for a few days with some risk, but
its better than what I always here happens (and unfortunately went
through) when you try an in place upgrade.

It's a swing migration.

Subject: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story


This is just an informational post, you're welcome to comment on it but
I'm not really asking any questions.  Just thought folks out there
getting ready to upgrade might want to hear the story.  I just spent the
night upgrading (or trying to upgrade) my exchange 5.5 server.

We have a very simple network.  1 domain.   200 users.  1 exchange
server.
2 domain controllers (not the exchange server).


Started about 2 weeks ago prepping for upgrade.  Armed with:
  White Paper  in-place upgrade from msoft exchange 5.5 to msoft
exchange 2000 
  Q316886  How To:  Migrate from exchange server 5.5 to exchange 2000
server
  Q282309  upgrading exchange server 5.5 service pack 4 to exchange
2000 server
  Q295922  considerations when you upgrade to exchange 2000 server
  Q296260  how to configure a two-way recipient connection agreement
for exchange server 5.5 users
  Q253829  description of the active directory connector deletion
mechanism

And, of course, monitored this list (and the sun-exchange) one for
upgrade ideas!


Now some of the documents have conflicting information.  If you weed
thru the dates and such you can usually figure out what is really true.
For example, the white paper states you MUST have at least one domain
running in native mode, but the HOW TO describes a scenario where all
domains are in mixed mode.

  With the domain controllers upgraded to win2k active directory (mixed
mode) last month I tackled the exchange upgrade this month.  Went thru
the white paper and how to, updating the schema  (forestprep and
domainprep) and ran all the tests listed in those docs to verify it was
working.  Got exactly the results they told me!

  First time I ran the actual upgrade got my first rude surprise.  My
vendor had shipped me the Exchange 2000 standard edition media (which
doesn't really say standard on it, just Exchange 2000) and the upgrade
process stopped immediately with You can't go from enterprise to
standard you
idiot   
  Two days later I have the correct media.  Take the server off the
network and run an online backup (Veritas backup exec with exchange
option).  Verify the backup worked.
  With exchange services down get back on the network and run domain
tests again.  Everything ok!
  Run the upgrade!   The upgrade goes thru several processes but hangs
at
Setup failed while installing sub-component Site Replication Service
with error code 0xC007041D -- retry or cancel  search MS knowledge
base and looks like a permissions issue  (Q278254 and Q273730).  Hmm,
make sure the exchange service account has all the permissions and click
retry.  Still no work.  Rats.  Getting late so time to make the $250
call to PSS!
   PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works.  They have me change
the service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to
SERVICE ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct).  Still
no joy.  Try to cancel out of that error message.  Nada.  Have to task
manager/shut down process.  They then refer me to the ultimate
nightmare:  Q264309 - How to Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange
Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000.
   Yuck.  Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr
folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all
service packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed
exchsrvr folders, setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info
store.
   Restoring directory service doesn't work.  Call PSS back.  Directory
service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service.
Change to manual start and reboot. Directory restores!!!
   Restore info store.  (8 gigs).  2 hours later ready to go!  (almost)
Now the internet mail connector isn't working.  Dawn is breaking and
panic
begins to creep in.   Users will be screaming in about 2 hours.  Call
PSS
again.  End up deleting the IMC and creating a new one.  They very
patiently step me through lots of good stuff, including making sure I'm
not an internet relay and that I'm not doing circular logs.  They even
stand by while I reinstall my Anti-virus for exchange.  Everything is
working.  It's now 7am and I'm back to my original pre-upgrade status
from 7pm the night before.

  Problem summary:  PSS thinks that the problem was caused by the mail
service account user not having complete permissions at the org

Hello,

Exchange 2000 SP2

I have been trying to find a way to allow a user to reply using a distribution list as 
the from address. I know that 
for a mailbox this can be done by assigning send as permission to the user. however, 
it does not seem to work for distribution lists.

Report tool?

Management has just hot me with a request for a user's email activity for
the past 60 days due to decreased productivity over that period. 

They would like a report that shows the date, time, sender/recipient names
and length (words or KB) of each email he's sent and received over this
period. We run journaling, so we do have this info, but are there any tools
that could extract this info out of that mailbox (or even his mailbox) and
display it either as a proprietary report or in an Excel file?

If you use journaling you have a copy of every e-mail. If you use message
tracking then you have the activity of the user. The logs are purged based
on what you've set on the SA.

Crystal Reports (shudder) is available on the BORK. It can get that
information off of the tracking logs if you want.

Updating contact lists after migration upgrade (invalid X400 addresses)

2002-08-02 Thread Lathrum Matt-P55173

Exchange 2000 SP2
Outlook 98, 2000

In May, we did a migration from E5.5 to E2K including changing org names.  One of the 
by-products of the migration was the copying of a slew of old email aliases for 
everyone that were piled up during our time with the old company.  Stuff with type 
SMTP, X400, X500, RFAX, etc.

Recently, we finally got around to removing all those extra aliases.  However, since 
people created contacts and local distribution lists with the old E5.5 x.400 
addresses, they now show as invalid.  For instance, when looking at them, you see an 
x.400 address: /O=company/OU=blah/CN=location/cn=userid.  Obviously, when sending to 
this address, the user gets an NDN.

We have many people who have large contact lists who now can't use them for internal 
names without fixing each one of them individually.  Does anyone have an idea as to 
how to convert these to resolve to our new AD GAL?  The cn=userid is the commonality.

I would appreciate any ideas.

The scaled down Crystal Reports version is not too userfriendly.

Because it fsking annoys me. I'd rather spend my day watching grass grow
or Andy trying to pick up Martin.

Really, I'm just not the personality type that likes building reports,
and scripting.

If you use journaling you have a copy of every e-mail. If you use
message tracking then you have the activity of the user. The logs are
purged based on what you've set on the SA.

Crystal Reports (shudder) is available on the BORK. It can get that
information off of the tracking logs if you want.

Subject: Report tool?


Management has just hot me with a request for a user's email activity
for the past 60 days due to decreased productivity over that period. 

They would like a report that shows the date, time, sender/recipient
names and length (words or KB) of each email he's sent and received over
this period. We run journaling, so we do have this info, but are there
any tools that could extract this info out of that mailbox (or even his
mailbox) and display it either as a proprietary report or in an Excel
file?

Thanks,

Evan

RE: Is there a way to send as a distribution list.

2002-08-02 Thread Benjamin Zachary

As a workaround you could have the user sendmail using like OE and put
the reply-to and from address as the mail enabled DL. This should be
okay since it is a valid box on the system you can relay through your
own server.

Under the security Tab in the Group properties.  Just add the users or
groups in there, and make sure the send as checkbox is selected.

Subject: Is there a way to send as a distribution list.


Hello,

WIn2k SP2
Exchange 2000 SP2

I have been trying to find a way to allow a user to reply using a
distribution list as the from address. I know that 
for a mailbox this can be done by assigning send as permission to the
user. however, it does not seem to work for distribution lists.


Thank you,



Juan Rosas

No, a physical whiteboard, with erasable markers.  People do use their
outlook/exchange calendars for meetings  appointments.
 Currently we have the white board solution
 
 A virtual whiteboard solution?

 We're using Exchange 2000 with Outlook 2000 and would like to 
 implement some kind of corporate in/out board that our receptionist 
 can monitor. Currently we have the white board solution, where some 
 people actually take the time to write out to lunch, out til' 3PM...
 
 Anyone use anything like this in their office that works for them?  It

 doesn't have to be free.
 
 TIA
