I have not tried 2007 SCR as yet, but have read a lot on it. SCR looks
good, but do you really want to be doing stuff in command line when the
boss is standing over you wondering when email is going to be back on
line? The thing is, if you go to 2007 then you need to pitch your
servers for 64 bit, and get the appropriate OS as well.
 
If you are just wanting to get your existing data to an existing standby
box, then Double Take is the way to go. The software will configure your
target server so that all of the appropriate services are set to manual
and stopped. When you failover it will update AD, and add the SPN for
the source server to the target server, plus make any required changes
in DNS. Users only have to restart Outlook if they were signed in at the
time of the failover. And it can be controlled with one mouse click as
opposed to having to type correctly when the poo hits the fan.

MessageOne is a typical 3rd party provider providing message
continuity.

 

However, I would recommend you upgrade to Exchange 2007 and use
LCR or SCR; which are built into the product.

 

If you really actually want to do active/passive Exchange
clustering, search on technet.microsoft.com
  for SCC - Single Copy Clustering.

Hello all...

 

I want to have a stand-by Exchange box that can act as a
fail-over in the event I lose my active Exchange server.  I understand
that this can be accomplished by clustering.  Google has a zillion links
about Windows/Exchange clustering so I was hoping the experts here could
recommend a link where it would be a good place to start learning how to
do this.

 

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Environment is W2K3 Servers and Exchange 2003, clients are a
mixture of O2K3 and O2K7...all fully patched.

RE: strange situation with contacts

Which version of exchange? If Exchange 2003, then open the EMC, open the
search dialog, goto advanced, and LDAP query and enter:

 

(proxyaddresses=smtp:[EMAIL PROTECTED])

 

And then click find. You need to enter the appropriate address, of course.

So, I have been using this script that I found out on petri website, that
spins through a excel spreadsheet and then takes that data and creates the
contact(s).

 

Well, all fine and dandy tell today. I went in to the contacts and added a
new contact with a @att.net. however in the GAL, there is a @satx.rr.com
with this new contact. So I went back and reviewed my logs and found that
this person was in a spreadsheet from the past. 

 

Now in the ad console (exchange ver) I only see one instance not two
instances of this contact.

 

Million dollar question: how and where do I even begin to look for this
individual? ADSI or some go into the raw schema of exchange?

RE: IMAP

[Michael B. Smith]

Sidebar:

It doesn't have to be a "?". IMAP requires that you provide an identifier so
that a specific input and the specific output relative to that input can be
identified.

That is because IMAP allows you to pre-feed commands and not wait on their
responses. For example:

A001 LOGON 
A002 COMMANDA
A003 COMMANDB

*A003 
*A001 LOGONG SUCCESSFUL
..
..
..
You get the idea.

Software Request

[Travis Robinson]

Hello,

I have a strange request for all. I've recently misplaced my only copy of 
Citrix Metaframe XP Feature Release 3 disk, and I'm in a bit of a hurry to 
install two new servers. I've contacted all my friends and no one has this 
version. I've called Citrix and they don't have the downloads anymore because 
it is end of life. We plan on phasing out Citrix within a year and need it for 
a final application until it can get re-written. I've called our VAR and they 
have FR1, but that will not work on 2003 server. I'm calling another VAR 
tomorrow, but I was hoping that someone may have a copy that I can borrow or 
steal. We have plenty of licenses, just no media.

If anyone would be willing to make this available if you still have it, I would 
appreciate it greatly.

I'm hitting up all three lists in desperation.

Thanks

Travis

RE: IMAP

[Michael B. Smith]

Is the IMAP service set to Automatic and started? By default in Exchange
2003 and above, it is not. And does your firewall have the port open? And in
Exchange 2007, unless you specifically enable plain text passwords, you'll
need to install an SSL certificate as well.

RE: Outbound Connector for Specific Users

[Campbell, Rob]

I'm not sure how you would do this in Exchange 2007.

 

The Exchange 2007 transport permissions model is a can of worms all by
itself.

 

As near as I can tell from the documentation, you have to set any
permissions other than the pre-defined permission groups via the EMS,
using the add-adpermissions cmdlet.  

 

 

You'll probably have to modify the default outbound send connector, and
add deny ace's for the same group on it.

Isn't SP2 for office supposed to allow Outlook to use v4 for the OAB? I know

Any other ideas? Thanks.

Currently the user receives a 0X8004010F error, an object cannot be found
when trying to download the offline address book. Outlook 2007 clients work
fine. Only web distribution is enabled, using ADSIEDIT the user account is
pointing to the appropriate OAB. Do I have to enable public folder
distribution of the OAB for Outlook 2003 SP3 clients to work?

RE: Outbound Connector for Specific Users

[Campbell, Rob]

Create a new SMTP Connector.  On the properties of the connector, find
the Delivery Restrictions tab.

 

Tell it to reject mail from everyone by default, and then add the users
you want to send mail through the connector to the Accept Messages From
list.

I have not tried 2007 SCR as yet, but have read a lot on it. SCR looks
good, but do you really want to be doing stuff in command line when the
boss is standing over you wondering when email is going to be back on
line? The thing is, if you go to 2007 then you need to pitch your
servers for 64 bit, and get the appropriate OS as well.

 

If you are just wanting to get your existing data to an existing standby
box, then Double Take is the way to go. The software will configure your
target server so that all of the appropriate services are set to manual
and stopped. When you failover it will update AD, and add the SPN for
the source server to the target server, plus make any required changes
in DNS. Users only have to restart Outlook if they were signed in at the
time of the failover. And it can be controlled with one mouse click as
opposed to having to type correctly when the poo hits the fan.

strange situation with contacts

[Thomas Gonzalez]

So, I have been using this script that I found out on petri website,
that spins through a excel spreadsheet and then takes that data and
creates the contact(s).

 

Well, all fine and dandy tell today. I went in to the contacts and added
a new contact with a @att.net. however in the GAL, there is a
@satx.rr.com with this new contact. So I went back and reviewed my logs
and found that this person was in a spreadsheet from the past. 

 

Now in the ad console (exchange ver) I only see one instance not two
instances of this contact.

 

Million dollar question: how and where do I even begin to look for this
individual? ADSI or some go into the raw schema of exchange?

 

Thanks,

RE: NDR attachment stripping or recipient filtering - which is better?

If I eliminate NDRs completely for invalid addresses, though, then
people who make innocent typing mistakes will not know that their
message did not get through. 

 

..

 

I re-read KB909005, and I missed the part about NDRs still being
generated but pushing it back to the sending server before accepting the
message. I think that will work.

I'm using Exchange 2003 and am trying to keep my domain from
participating in NDR flood attacks. I've identified two possible
methods: NDR attachment stripping, or recipient filtering paired with
SMTP tar pitting. Any preference as to which is better, or are there
other methods to fight this crud?

 

Thanks in advance,

[Don Andrews]

I'd think recipient filtering as long as it's done at the front door
would eliminate NDRs for invalid addresses.

Doctor, it hurts when I do this.

 

Stop doing that.

 

The less crud you accept that you will not end up delivering, the less
email you will NDR.  Recipient filtering goes a long, long way to
prevent blowback. Since the bad emails are coming from lots of different
IP, tar pitting won't work as well.

[Kennedy, Jim]

You strip the attachment you are still sending messages that you don't need to 
and shouldn't, and would still be participating in sending NDR's to people that 
should not be getting them. Recipient filtering stops that and lessens the load 
on your server and bandwidth.

I have not tried 2007 SCR as yet, but have read a lot on it. SCR looks
good, but do you really want to be doing stuff in command line when the
boss is standing over you wondering when email is going to be back on
line? The thing is, if you go to 2007 then you need to pitch your
servers for 64 bit, and get the appropriate OS as well.

 

If you are just wanting to get your existing data to an existing standby
box, then Double Take is the way to go. The software will configure your
target server so that all of the appropriate services are set to manual
and stopped. When you failover it will update AD, and add the SPN for
the source server to the target server, plus make any required changes
in DNS. Users only have to restart Outlook if they were signed in at the
time of the failover. And it can be controlled with one mouse click as
opposed to having to type correctly when the poo hits the fan.

Hello all...

 

I want to have a stand-by Exchange box that can act as a fail-over in
the event I lose my active Exchange server.  I understand that this can
be accomplished by clustering.  Google has a zillion links about
Windows/Exchange clustering so I was hoping the experts here could
recommend a link where it would be a good place to start learning how to
do this.

 

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Environment is W2K3 Servers and Exchange 2003, clients are a mixture of

RE: NDR attachment stripping or recipient filtering - which is better?

[Carl Houseman]

You asked almost the same question and I answered it on Monday.  But here it
is again:
 
Your server should not send any message in response to an undeliverable
message.  That means you use recipient filtering ("filter recipients who are
not in the directory") and tarpitting.   It's also less load on the server
to do this.

RE: NTBackup Issue-Exchange 2003

[Michael B. Smith]

Almost always that happens when a backup was aborted without being able to
clean up after itself. For example, waiting for tapes and then end-tasked.
After that happens, you get that error because you can only have one backup
in process at a time.

Now, I'm NOT guaranteeing this, but as long as you have one good backup and
log files since then, you should just be able to bounce the store (restart
the Information Store service) and the message go away...

RE: Exchange fail-over

Regarding SCR, that's because it's a site resilience solution and not an HA
solution.  In my experience, most customers who want site resilience expect
and understand that manual steps are required to get the system back up and
running as they ultimately want to control when the failover occurs.  The
last thing they want is a DR site "accidentally" assuming control during a
normal day when it shouldn't do.  J

Starting simple, I have had this issue before on Exchange 2003 and it
was either the Win XP firewall or a corrupt Outlook profile. If you have

RE: Exchange fail-over

[Michael B. Smith]

DoubleTake (as someone else mentioned) and NeverFail are the typical
recommended solutions.

 

MessageOne is a typical 3rd party provider providing message continuity.

 

However, I would recommend you upgrade to Exchange 2007 and use LCR or SCR;
which are built into the product.

 

If you really actually want to do active/passive Exchange clustering, search
on technet.microsoft.com for SCC - Single Copy Clustering.

Subject: Exchange fail-over

 

Hello all.

 

I want to have a stand-by Exchange box that can act as a fail-over in the
event I lose my active Exchange server.  I understand that this can be
accomplished by clustering.  Google has a zillion links about
Windows/Exchange clustering so I was hoping the experts here could recommend
a link where it would be a good place to start learning how to do this.

 

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Environment is W2K3 Servers and Exchange 2003, clients are a mixture of O2K3
and O2K7.all fully patched.

RE: Spammed to death

I have that setup also and this is what it sounds like to me as well.

Could it be that this address is receiving every bounced email that your 
exchange server is processing (even bounced spoofed From address emails are 
delivered here).  I have this setup with ESM on a separate account just to keep 
it separate from other email, but that is what it sounds like when you say they 
are being delivered from system administrator.  I do not remember exactly where 
the setting is, but I'm sure someone else on this list knows.

Subject: Spammed to death

 

I've got a user who gets thousands of messages each day from "system 
administrator" - Message could not be delivered.  I've come to the conclusion 
that someone has setup a spam server and used his email as the reply to 
address.  At first it was really funny, but now we are trying everything to 
block and filter these out.  We use Ninja and have him setup in his own policy. 
 The messages do not get a score however, and even with many custom rules I 
can't stop all the garbage going into his mailbox.  Anything I can do in the 
exchange system manager apart from changing his smtp address?
