Different Disclaimers Per Domain
Hi there, I currently have about five or six domains on an exchange server farm, we now need to add a disclaimer to some domains - but not others, and also different disclaimers depending on domains, anyone got any pointers on how to do this? Any software that's needed should be set and forget. Cheers ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~

Hi there Chuck, Its Exchange 2003 (not upgrading to 2007 just yet), however, we don't use Dynamic Distribution Groups, as the people that would be in those groups, are not visible in the GAL (they cant be visible in the GAL) Cheers -Original Message- From: Robinson, Chuck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 January 2008 14:02 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Different Disclaimers Per Domain What version of Exchange?

Recover hard delete
Exchange 2003, Outlook 2000. User deleted contents of inbox this morning. Deleted item retention is 14 days, with no ADUC overrides. I added the DumpsterAlwaysOn key to the users computer shortly after the user informed me of the problem, and restarted. The deleted items are not showing in the deleted item recovery box. User says she did CTRL-A to highlight all items, and hit the Delete key, not Sift+Delete, just Delete. Items are not in the standard deleted items folder either. Am I missing something? Where else can I go to recover her email. If after waiting a little while longer, the items still do not show up to be recovered, what are my options? Create a second Exchange server, restore a back up to it and recover the data from there? How would I get the deleted mail from the second Exchange to the primary after the back up has been restored? Lots of questions, thanks for all help.

RE: Recover hard delete
You must recover them from the folder they were permanently deleted from. E.g: * They use Shift-Delete on the Sales folder. You run the Recover Deleted Items tool while the Sales folder is selected. * They use normal Delete on the Sales folder. The mails go to the Deleted Items folder. The Deleted Items folder is then emptied. You use the Recover Deleted Items tool while Deleted Items is selected. Hope that helps.

meeting planner slow
I didn't find much help when googling this. I found articles that others have the problem but didn't find a solution. Maybe there isn't one... Exchange 2003 SP2 4500 mailboxes across 5 servers Public folders on 6th server All servers in same data center Outlook 2003 takes a long time to populate the meeting planner info. I know they can disable the meeting details in meeting planner, but the administrative assistants prefer to see the details. Would it help if I replicated free/busy to each server? I prefer to have only one location for public folders to make recovery easier.

Delegating OOF management
Hello, Scenario: We have an offsite location which is two hours ahead of my location. When they have someone call in sick for the day, they want to be able to go in and change the Out of Office message for the person calling in. One problem being they want about 10 people to have the ability to change these for about 100 employees. I know I can give them the permission to do this, but don't want to give them too much access and I don't want to do this for 100 people. Delegates don't work for this issue. Right now, I tell them to call the helpdesk and I'll make the changes when I get in, but they're concerned about the 2 hour delay. Is there a program that can accomplish this? What would the best way to handle this so it can be changed in a timely manner without giving access to everyone's e-mail? Thanks Travis ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
Re: Delegating OOF management
I don't think that there is a program that will do what you are asking. Basically, you must be in the actual mailbox, not attached to it via some permissions etc, to setup OOF, which means you are going to have to give Ownership level permissions in order to do this. Wouldn't it be easier to give these employees the ability to connect to their mailboxes remotely so that they can do it for themselves? Oh, and if you say management has demanded this, you might want to ask management if they have checked on the legal aspect of this.

RE: meeting planner slow
Since all the Exchange servers are in the same physical location replicating the Public Folder Free/Busy data to an additional server in that same site would not increase the performance from the Outlook client.

RE: Delegating OOF management
Thanks for confirming my thought. We have OWA published so that would work, but apparently not everyone has access to internet? Odd, I know. I haven't had the legal conversation yet, because I initially told them I wasn't aware of a way. I never told them we could do it by giving them full access.

Internet Mail Wizard to send outgoing email through 3rd party?
So I need to send all outgoing email from our exchange server to Messagelabs servers. The only document they have that explains how to do this involves running the Internet Mail Wizard.

Anybody want to save my sanity?
So, we are beginning our transition to Exchange 2007. So we currently have Exchange 2003 SP2 mailbox servers and Exchange 2007 SP1 CAS boxes. We are having issues with Active-Sync. Basically, active-sync needs Integrated Windows Authentication enabled on the 2003 Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory. I understand this. And according to this: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/09/04/446918.aspxblocked::http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/09/04/446918.aspx Note: Integrated Windows authentication for /Exchange and /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directories must be enabled via Exchange System Manager on Exchange 2003 back-end server. And here is where I start feeling like I am going to go insane. If I go into Exchange System Manager, and expand the server, expand protocols, expand HTTP and right click on Microsoft-Server-Activesync and go to the Access tab I see this: [cid:646522317@15012008-327A] So needless to say I can't seem to set it there. But if I set it using the IIS manager, the setting falls off after a few hours and everything breaks again. Basically it is driving me crazy. I am using the Exchange System Manager actually on the server in question, so they are at the same version level. So what silly stupid thing am I missing here?

RE: meeting planner slow
I would start by re-running EXBPA to verify there are no known issues reported by that tool. Then I would capture detailed performance counters from the Exchange servers. If your client is seeing a delay then the MSExchangeIS\RPC Average Latency value would be too high. From there you have to work back to determine which component is causing that delay. More often than not, in Exchange 2003, this is caused by a disk or memory bottleneck. Since 2003 has a hard limit on how much RAM it can utilize, you often have to increase the disk system performance by modifying the RAID configuration and/or adding additional drive spindles to increase Disk Read performance. You may have something different specific to your environment but I would guess that 9 out of 10 times I have heard of this problem Disk performance was the cause. Hope that helps.

RE: Internet Mail Wizard to send outgoing email through 3rd party?
Last instructions I saw from Message Labs said to put a smart host on the SMTP Virtual Server.

Distribution list not being displayed in Global
Back from the world of public accounting. Actually, I'm still there, but my role has changed a bit... I've recently assumed network administration duties for a Windows SBS 2003 deployment with Exchange (2003) installed. I last worked with Exchange at version 2000 over two years ago. As I recall, when one adds a distribution group through the Exchange provided Active Directory Users and Computers that group should automatically be displayed in the Global Address List, unless you've selected otherwise. Unfortunately that I don't see the group, and I had to shoehorn the user into the GAL, and don't recall the steps I took to do it. Also, when I create new users, or groups, no email addresses appear in the Email addresses tab. As I recall this isn't normal behavior. And to provide complete information, I did select Universal and I did select Distribution for the scope and type, respectively. A quick google search didn't really stand out at me, but I may not be searching for the correct thing, if so, I'll take my punishment like a man! :-) Mainly, I'm looking for a sanity check or a possible idea of what/where to look to fix this. Also, I need a good book to pickup for Exchange 2003 specifically. The previous admin purchased all the books personally and removed them when he left. That won't be the case with me, but it's another story altogether.
