RE: step 1
What I don't understand is how you plan to fail over Outlook to Site2's Exchange. Outlook is setup to connect to a specific server and AD links that user to that Mailbox. There is not a way for Exchange/AD to failover a user to another mailbox store automatically when its primary server is offline. To do this manually you would have to disconnect the user from their mailbox on Site1 and reconnect a mailbox on site2 in order for this to work, and I have never seen anyone do such a thing except when recovering from a DB failure, not as part of a multi-site DR model Your response, We need site2 to be usable as a back-up / disaster recovery site, even though it is already up and running production (not my design); the idea was to have a second set of mailboxes there with alternate email addresses and a second smtp outgoing channel.

RE: step 1
Ahh info makes more sense. There are a number of other variables, but as long as users at site1 can talk to site2(assuming GC, DNS, etc) then they can login and connect to that mailbox. Exchange on that side will handle flowing mail out its local SMTP connector. If you are using RPC/HTTP then that has to be reconfigured to connect to the new server. As to DR/Backup site, this will not allow you access to your old mail or other mailbox if the server is down. You can do a backup of the store on site1 and then copy the backed up file down to site2. DFS Replication in R2 or robocopy etc during off hours would do this nicely(Assuming the bandwidth is there) Even then you will have to perform a recovery of the IS to a recovery storage group and exmerge the files out to pst manually. As to the specific errors about exchange offline, did you move any replicas of system or public folders to siteb? If you just added it as a member and didn't move any mailboxes over or setup replicas then there should be nothing on the server at site2 that would cause users at site1, homed to that server in site1 for that error to occur.

Re: GreyListing...
You could run ASSP on the same box, configuring it to only perform greylisting. It would have little to no impact on the performance of the box. ASSP is a Perl-based anti-spam application. It has many other features that can also deter connections and therefor off-set load on your server www.asspsmtp.org On Feb 19, 2008 10:35 AM, Chyka, Robert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I wanted to get some input on the service that is recommended for greylisting with Exchange 2003. my friend has a small office with 40 mailboxes and they use Symantec Brightmail for Spam filtering.

All, I'm in my UK office, and am moving mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 in the local domain to E2k3 in the corporate domain - this happens with no errors. However, I've run into two issues that I'm not figuring out. 1) Trying to log into the newly moved mailbox with the ADC-created account isn't working. Specifically, after creating the profile in Outlook 2000 and then starting the program, I am refused with an insufficient permissions message. I checked, and indeed the corporate account (auto-created by the ADC) is not listed with permissions. That is very strange. Exactly what permissions should I be granting to the account, beyond 'full mailbox access' and 'read access'? Should I be adding SELF and granting permissions to it as well? 2) I'm not sure of this, but it seems that setting up the UK E2k3 box may have changed something regarding our message journaling mailbox, which resides on the US E2k3 machine. I got a call this morning from one of my staff stating that he couldn't get into that mailbox, which he normally does every morning. I haven't logged out of my OL2k session on my workstation for days, and I still have access to it, but he shut his machine down over the weekend, and can't get into that mailbox now - access to his own mailbox is unimpaired. Also, I started up a session on our TS server, and I can't get get into that mailbox with OL2k that session. I've checked permissions on that mailbox, and Domain Admins still have full rights, inherited. I see a whole bunch of interesting log entries for MSADC on the US E2k3 box, but nothing that looks relevant to this problem, including the Security log, though I haven't finished looking at the logs yet.

I see a whole bunch of interesting log entries for MSADC on the US E2k3 box, but nothing that looks relevant to this problem, including the Security log, though I haven't finished looking at the logs yet.

Book Recommendation
All, Post this to both the Exchange and NT lists Right before leaving for my trip to the UK, I got my copy of 'The Practice of System and Network Administration, Second Edition', by Limoncelli, Hogan and Chalup. Find it here: http://www.bookpool.com/sm/0321492668 in the US, and here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Practice-System-Network-Administration/dp/0321492668/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8s=booksqid=1203440319sr=8-1 in the UK - beware of wrappage, of course. I started reading it during the flight, and have been reading it at breakfast and during the hour or so between work and sleep that I have. I'm at page 399 out of 1011 (including index), and have 8 slips of paper so far, and many page markings, as reminders for followups with both junior staff and management. I plan on using the exercise questions at the end of each chapter for team and individual work. It's a somewhat expensive book, but worth far more to me already than what I paid for it. I purchased 3 copies earlier for the people I lead, in the expectation that it would be good, based on the first edition. It's better than I expected. My manager said that I could expense them, but I don't think I'm going to do that - I want them to own the book, not have it be property of the company. I supposed that many people on this list know much of what's in there, but I can nearly guarantee you'll find something in there that you didn't know, and you will almost certainly find that makes it worth your purchase. This book provides a framework for making a true profession of System Administration, and I'm terribly glad I have my copy. I can't give it any higher recommendation.

Re: step 1
As to the specific errors about exchange offline... I now believe these were entirely due to a GC problem, I won't be able to verify this until tonight. Thanks, though, you are confirming what I hoped we were doing here. On Feb 19, 2008 8:07 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ahh info makes more sense. There are a number of other variables, but as long as users at site1 can talk to site2(assuming GC, DNS, etc) then they can login and connect to that mailbox. Exchange on that side will handle flowing mail out its local SMTP connector. If you are using RPC/HTTP then that has to be reconfigured to connect to the new server. As to DR/Backup site, this will not allow you access to your old mail or other mailbox if the server is down. You can do a backup of the store on site1 and then copy the backed up file down to site2. DFS Replication in R2 or robocopy etc during off hours would do this nicely(Assuming the bandwidth is there) Even then you will have to perform a recovery of the IS to a recovery storage group and exmerge the files out to pst manually. As to the specific errors about exchange offline, did you move any replicas of system or public folders to siteb? If you just added it as a member and didn't move any mailboxes over or setup replicas then there should be nothing on the server at site2 that would cause users at site1, homed to that server in site1 for that error to occur. *From:* G.Waleed Kavalec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Tuesday, February 19, 2008 8:48 AM *To:* MS-Exchange Admin Issues *Subject:* Re: step 1 Nothing complicated: I *don't* expect to failover. 1. If site1 is down due to hurricane/disaster site2 has separate mailboxes, site1 outlooks won't be in the picture. 2. If ONLY site1's e2k3 is down, a few operators will need to log on with alternate ID's to connect to site2 Please note that - in terms of staff - we are a very small shop so that part is very manageable. But the data load is very large. MOST of the time the two sites are expected to act as one domain (which they are) and the two e2k3 servers are only intended to replicate some public folders and operate almost independently. On Feb 19, 2008 7:27 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What I don't understand is how you plan to fail over Outlook to Site2's Exchange. Outlook is setup to connect to a specific server and AD links that user to that Mailbox. There is not a way for Exchange/AD to failover a user to another mailbox store automatically when its primary server is offline. To do this manually you would have to disconnect the user from their mailbox on Site1 and reconnect a mailbox on site2 in order for this to work, and I have never seen anyone do such a thing except when recovering from a DB failure, not as part of a multi-site DR model Your response, We need site2 to be usable as a back-up / disaster recovery site, even though it is already up and running production (not my design); the idea was to have a second set of mailboxes there with alternate email addresses and a second smtp outgoing channel. E2k7 can do standby continous replication to handle this specific requirement. Here is something from the ExchangeTeam http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2007/06/28/445538.aspx Greg M.S, Andy throw in here if I am missing something but I just done see how this scenario could work without a lot of manual disconnecting/reconnecting etc.. *From:* G.Waleed Kavalec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Monday, February 18, 2008 3:54 PM *To:* MS-Exchange Admin Issues *Subject:* Re: step 1 I am not looking for automatic failover.

MOST of the time both sites are up just fine, running production, no problem. But up thru a month ago site2 needed site1 to do email (including automatic emails), and as of my little oops BOTH sites' need to be up. Replicating the GC *may* have fixed that.

Migration issue...
All, I'm in my UK office, and am moving mailboxes from Exchange 5.5 in the local domain to E2k3 in the corporate domain - this happens with no errors. However, I've run into two issues that I'm not figuring out. 1) Trying to log into the newly moved mailbox with the ADC-created account isn't working. Specifically, after creating the profile in Outlook 2000 and then starting the program, I am refused with an insufficient permissions message. I checked, and indeed the corporate account (auto-created by the ADC) is not listed with permissions. That is very strange. Exactly what permissions should I be granting to the account, beyond 'full mailbox access' and 'read access'? Should I be adding SELF and granting permissions to it as well? 2) I'm not sure of this, but it seems that setting up the UK E2k3 box may have changed something regarding our message journaling mailbox, which resides on the US E2k3 machine. I got a call this morning from one of my staff stating that he couldn't get into that mailbox, which he normally does every morning. I haven't logged out of my OL2k session on my workstation for days, and I still have access to it, but he shut his machine down over the weekend, and can't get into that mailbox now - access to his own mailbox is unimpaired. Also, I started up a session on our TS server, and I can't get get into that mailbox with OL2k that session. I've checked permissions on that mailbox, and Domain Admins still have full rights, inherited.

As you can see from the From line of this email, Exchange doesn't include the name of the sender in outbound messages, just the originating email address. Internal messages do still come with the name of the sender attached. This is a fairly recent problem as Exchange used to include the name of the sender in all emails.

SP1 installed today
Upgraded our single E2k7 server (all roles) to SP1 this morning-just thought I'd share. Even after running the schema extensions ahead of time and EXBPA on Friday which announced things looked good, I had an ugly little error message that failed the install until figuring it out. Turned out someone else has seen the issue: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/31296140/exchange-2007-sp1-install.aspx Tried the cmd-line upgrade install as suggested, but it failed again. I then used get-receiveconnector to document our connectors and then set-receiveconnector to change the fqdn parameter it was barking about (it was previously set to our external domain name rather than internal). After changing that, the install ran without errors. I've not changed the fqdn value back, and as far as I can see, everything is working properly except for one thing (next) that is unrelated. Anyone have any comments on what this value should be? I really don't know when/where it was originally set. Only other issue I'm seeing right now is an error in OWA when I try and view my Rules (under options). Others are not seeing this problem, so I'm going to play with it a bit and see if I can figure it out. Might be something with just the adminsdholder accounts again.

Smith MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 3:11 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Name in outbound messages As you can see from the From line of this email, Exchange doesn't include the name of the sender in outbound messages, just the originating email address. Internal messages do still come with the name of the sender attached. This is a fairly recent problem as Exchange used to include the name of the sender in all emails. I can't think of anything specific that I might have done to cause this issue, however, and I haven't had much luck googling a solution. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Delivery fails to one user
In Exchange 2003: Outside contact (X) has sent a message to two of my users. The message had a 2MB attachment, well below any limits set at my server. User A received the message just fine. User B did not receive any trace of the message. When I pull up the tracking logs, the same message (verified it's the same message ID #) appears for both users. But when I get the details from the tracking logs, the logs for both users show it delivered locally to user A, but neither log makes mention of delivering it to user B. It appears the server received the message, knew it was addressed to user B but made no attempt to deliver it. User B's mailbox is nowhere near any storage limits. User B is confused, and at the moment so am I. Can anyone offer a scenario??

RE: SP1 installed today
I hit that error with the connector as well... Regarding rules, my rules seemed to corrupt after sp1. I have Postfix mail going into ASSP mail now sometimes:) Happened immediately after sp1? jlc From: Miller Bonnie L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 1:13 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: SP1 installed today Upgraded our single E2k7 server (all roles) to SP1 this morning-just thought I'd share. Even after running the schema extensions ahead of time and EXBPA on Friday which announced things looked good, I had an ugly little error message that failed the install until figuring it out. Turned out someone else has seen the issue: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/31296140/exchange-2007-sp1-install.aspx Tried the cmd-line upgrade install as suggested, but it failed again. I then used get-receiveconnector to document our connectors and then set-receiveconnector to change the fqdn parameter it was barking about (it was previously set to our external domain name rather than internal). After changing that, the install ran without errors. I've not changed the fqdn value back, and as far as I can see, everything is working properly except for one thing (next) that is unrelated. Anyone have any comments on what this value should be? I really don't know when/where it was originally set. Only other issue I'm seeing right now is an error in OWA when I try and view my Rules (under options). Others are not seeing this problem, so I'm going to play with it a bit and see if I can figure it out. Might be something with just the adminsdholder accounts again.

RE: Email flow monitor
I used mailive for a couple of years until last November (when I left that job). They were always great, very responsive, and they added a couple of reporting features that I asked for. I could've developed something similar to their service in a week or so (the core features), but at their price-point, it didn't make sense to do so. The real problem with doing something internally is just that - it's internal. You can do internal testing with just about anything: ServersAlive, WhatsUpGold, Nagios, whatever. In my opinion, a much more important measure is the external metric. That's where something like mailive is key. Regards, Michael B.

Re: Email flow monitor
Hi Michael, I actually thinking about using a script or some software, send an email using our exchange to gmail. Then set the gmail to bounce back that email. If the bounce back email is within the allow time, then it's ok. Otherwise, an alarm goes off. That's pretty much the same concept with mailive. Anyhow, I'll give mailive a try :-).

Accessing Ex2003 Public Folders using Ex2007 SP1 OWA
Hopefully someone's run into this... Log into an Ex2007 SP1 mailbox via Ex2007 SP1 CAS (which also runs the HT role), click on the Public Folder link and get the error: Outlook Web Access is unable to open public folders. If the problem continues contact technical support for your organization. The public folders are located on an Ex2003 box which is the default PF store for the Ex2007 Sp1 database where this mailbox is located. Found the following at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb430795(EXCHG.80).aspx Exchange 2003 public folders will be available to Exchange 2007 mailboxes only if the following conditions are true: - The server that is hosting the Client Access server role must not be hosting any other Exchange 2007 server roles. - The /public and /owa virtual directories must have the same SSL setting. - The /public virtual directory has not been renamed. - SSL is disabled on the home public folder server that is assigned to the user's mailbox. That first bullet of ...must not be hosting any other exchange 2007 server roles. certainly sounds like the culprit, but I've only heard/read of issues when the mbx and cas are on the same box. Can anyone confirm? Everything else checks out. Thanks! -alex ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~

We now have attempted to configure such access to MS Exchange 2007 via MS Outlook 2007 and connection cannot be established. We have tried both Vista Home and Vista Pro as os.
