RE: Exchange 2007 message tracking

[Michael B. Smith]

My earlier utilities depended on something called the "ExIFS Driver" that
was present in Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003. It is not part of Exchange
2007 and the capabilities that it provided take a LOT more work in Exchange
2007.

Subject: Exchange 2007 message tracking

 

Is there any tool which will actually integrate with exchange 2007 message
tracking. After being able to find a message in the logs i would like to be
able to open it and read it. MBS had an xml script for 2k3 but i am not
aware that it was updated for 2007.

 

If anyone has anything I'd be interested to check it out.

RE: Silly question, perhaps.

Hmm... that could have been migration related.  It's been a long time since I 
did ours, but I seem to remember something about verifying that all DLs have a 
specific expansion server setting as a checklist item (pointing to a new 
server).

They briefly mention it here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316886 and here 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822450, but not what the side-effects are if it 
isn't done.

AHA!

When I went to the Exchange Advanced tab, I noticed that 'Expansion
server' field was empty.

That seems to have been the problem. I just sent another test message,
and it seems to be working now.

Now, how did it get that way, is the problem...

I'll leave that question to another day.

Dell laptop losing connectivity on network

[Paul Everett]

I have a Latitude D620 that started having connectivity issues.  It will
work just after it's turned on for about 5 minutes and then no network
anything (local or Internet).  Sometimes it will spontaneously start
working again, but usually not.  Sometimes if I "repair the local area
connection" it will work, but usually that fails also.  If I
"disable"/"re-enable" the adapter it will always work, but only for a
short period of time.

When it is happening, I can ping the machine and get a mixture of
"replys" and "timeouts".  The only error in the error logs is when the
"repair the local area connection" fails.  I get event id 1003 from dhcp
saying, "unable to renew address from the network. The following
error occurred:  The semaphore timeout period has expired.  Your
computer will try to continue to try and obtain an address"

The Dell tech thought it sounds like a software issue and we tried
everything.  Reinstalling the nic driver, stopping unnecessary services,
ruling out cabling issues, etc.  Finally he suggested, for no specific
reason, to try the laptop outside of our network.  So, I took it home
last night and low and behold it worked fine without having any
connectivity issues.  I was using the same Domain user account.

I would love to have some ideas on what may be going on or how to fix
this.  I have other laptops just like this and they are not having any
issues,... yet.

network
I have a Latitude D620 that started having connectivity issues.  It will work 
just after it’s turned on for about 5 minutes and then no network anything 
(local or Internet).  Sometimes it will spontaneously start working again, but 
usually not.  Sometimes if I “repair the local area connection” it will work, 
but usually that fails also.  If I “disable”/”re-enable” the adapter it will 
always work, but only for a short period of time.
When it is happening, I can ping the machine and get a mixture of “replys” and 
“timeouts”.  The only error in the error logs is when the “repair the local 
area connection” fails.  I get event id 1003 from dhcp saying, “….unable to 
renew address from the network….. The following error occurred:  The semaphore 
timeout period has expired.  Your computer will try to continue to try and 
obtain an address”
The Dell tech thought it sounds like a software issue and we tried everything.  
Reinstalling the nic driver, stopping unnecessary services, ruling out cabling 
issues, etc.  Finally he suggested, for no specific reason, to try the laptop 
outside of our network.  So, I took it home last night and low and behold it 
worked fine without having any connectivity issues.  I was using the same 
Domain user account.
I would love to have some ideas on what may be going on or how to fix this.  I 
have other laptops just like this and they are not having any issues,… yet.

Re: memory upgrade on EX2K3

[Sean Martin]

I took that as meaning it was his only Exchange server as he only referenced
"priv" and "pub" when he stated it hosted "everything". In either case,
Martin led him in the perfect direction. The Exchange BPA should give him
most of the insight he needs.

Internal SMTP email going to Junk folder.

[Brown, Larry]

E2k7, CCR, 2 Hubs.  Clients are using Outlook 2003 in cached mode.

We have Oracle servers that send SMTP notifications to users via the Anonymous 
Relay connector on Hub01.  To keep users from responding to a null address (the 
Oracle servers do not receive email), our Oracle developers asked us to create 
a mailbox that would automatically respond to anyone trying to reply to an 
alert.  All of this works fine.

However, with no pattern I can distinguish, some of the alerts go in to users' 
Junk E-Mail folders.  The Oracle team is concerned that users will miss alerts 
because they aren't expecting them, and therefore won't check the Junk E-mail 
folder before emptying it.  (Yes...a legitimate concern!  I almost always empty 
mine without checking...)

I have created a transport rule to set the SCL of emails "from people 
OracleNoReply" and "when the From address contains oraclenoreply" to 0...but 
emails still go in to the Junk folder.  One user said that she had 2 alerts go 
to her Inbox...the next 2 went in to her Junk E-mail folder...and then the next 
1 went in to her Inbox...no rhyme or reason to it at all.

Looking at the header info of an email that went in to the Junk folder, I can 
see that the SCL is 0...so the rule is working: X-MS-Exchange-Organization-SCL: 0

This morning I changed the SCL setting to -1, but somehow I don't think that 
will make any difference.

Am I missing something???

Is this on 2003 server? If so, here you go:
http://www.petri.co.il/remotely_enable_remote_desktop_on_windows_server_

Provided you can access the server via the remote registry go to:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

Under the Terminal Server key find the value named fDenyTSConnections
(REG_DWORD). Change the value data from 1 (Remote Desktop disabled) to 0

RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network

[Matt Moore]

That's nice but you don't know what the OS is... Broadcom adapter and Vista
have some serious issues.  I got a bunch of machines with Vista home dumped
on me, Nonprofit.  They had VOL Lic. and SA.  We loaded vista business and
the exact problem occurred.  One added twist, they could surf the web all
day but as soon as they connected to a network share or opened outlook the
nic would shut down.  Checked with MS, they pointed me to a couple of reg
hacks that didn't work.  Then called HP and got the run around for three
days and finally got the answer.  The workstations were sold with Vista
Home.  They are not supported with any other operating system period.  They
will not work with any other OS. Please return them to your vendor and
purchase suitable machines.

Re: Internal SMTP email going to Junk folder.

[Sherry Abercrombie]

Check the junk mail settings on the clients that have it going to their junk
mail folder.  Since it appears from what you've said that it appears to be
random, I don't think it's at the server level.

RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network

[Matt Moore]

Sorry, I guess you're getting messages out of order.  I've run around that
problem with dells and HPs with broadcoms.  Try plugging it into another
device.switch.  I've found they don't like to talk to some switch nics.
Finaly after tearing my hair out I just bought $29 usb enet adapters and
called it a day.

I have a Latitude D620 that started having connectivity issues.  It will
work just after it's turned on for about 5 minutes and then no network
anything (local or Internet).  Sometimes it will spontaneously start working
again, but usually not.  Sometimes if I "repair the local area connection"
it will work, but usually that fails also.  If I "disable"/"re-enable" the
adapter it will always work, but only for a short period of time.

When it is happening, I can ping the machine and get a mixture of "replys"
and "timeouts".  The only error in the error logs is when the "repair the
local area connection" fails.  I get event id 1003 from dhcp saying,
"..unable to renew address from the network... The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired.  Your computer will try to
continue to try and obtain an address"

The Dell tech thought it sounds like a software issue and we tried
everything.  Reinstalling the nic driver, stopping unnecessary services,

RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network

Curious, but this kind of sounds like the server-side TCP chimney/RSS/SNP 
issues.  Are these features supported/enabled somehow on XP (or Vista for Matt) 
or in the Broadcom drivers?  I haven't looked at the newer desktop/laptop 
machines to see if this is an issue, and we use custom images anyway, so it 
wouldn't necessarily be there.  I also haven't checked the XP SP3 release notes 
yet to see if they were included.

We've run into cases (not on Dell, but HP, Compaq, IBM etc.) where
having both the switch and workstation/server set to auto randomly fails

both to 100 full.

RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network

[Davies,Matt]

Is the interface in the laptop 10/100/1000 ?

 

And is you switch in the office 10/100 ?

 

And your switch at home 10/100/1000 ?

 

If you answer yes to all those try manually setting both ends to
100/Full Duplex. If not I would give it a go anyway.  We have had a lot
of problems with the newer intel nics in laptops failing to auto
negotiate  correctly on 10/100 switches.

 

Cheers

 

Matt

Subject: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network

 

I have a Latitude D620 that started having connectivity issues.
It will work just after it's turned on for about 5 minutes and then no
network anything (local or Internet).  Sometimes it will spontaneously
start working again, but usually not.  Sometimes if I "repair the local
area connection" it will work, but usually that fails also.  If I
"disable"/"re-enable" the adapter it will always work, but only for a
short period of time.

When it is happening, I can ping the machine and get a mixture
of "replys" and "timeouts".  The only error in the error logs is when
the "repair the local area connection" fails.  I get event id 1003 from
dhcp saying, "unable to renew address from the network. The
following error occurred:  The semaphore timeout period has expired.
Your computer will try to continue to try and obtain an
address"

The Dell tech thought it sounds like a software issue and we
tried everything.  Reinstalling the nic driver, stopping unnecessary
services, ruling out cabling issues, etc.  Finally he suggested, for no
specific reason, to try the laptop outside of our network.  So, I took
it home last night and low and behold it worked fine without having any
connectivity issues.  I was using the same Domain user account.

I would love to have some ideas on what may be going on or how
to fix this.  I have other laptops just like this and they are not
having any issues,... yet.

RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network

[Kim Longenbaugh]

Paul, what Don said is what I was getting at.  Although the nic and
switch vendors claim that autonegotiation always works, it just doesn't
work always.  Since all your switches are 100 mb, set the nics to 100
full, and like Don said, set the switches to auto or 100 full.

We've run into cases (not on Dell, but HP, Compaq, IBM etc.) where
having both the switch and workstation/server set to auto randomly fails
- you might try hard setting at least one end of the connection if not
both to 100 full.

The nic on the laptop is gigabit set to auto.  It's connecting at 100
full duplex.  Our switches are 100mb procurve.

If that is what you are asking?

RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network

[Miller Bonnie L .]

Hmm... maybe check what Troy said then about turning off tcp chimney at the 
servers, specifically it might be your DHCP server (if WS03).  MS has a patch 
now that turns most of it off for you, but I've found the reg entries to be the 
sure way to go if you want to be absolutely positive-can post if you need them.

You might also want to check out your DHCP server and config since the static 
address seems to be working better-might be that the server logs are showing 
something important.

Curious, but this kind of sounds like the server-side TCP chimney/RSS/SNP 
issues.  Are these features supported/enabled somehow on XP (or Vista for Matt) 
or in the Broadcom drivers?  I haven't looked at the newer desktop/laptop 
machines to see if this is an issue, and we use custom images anyway, so it 
wouldn't necessarily be there.  I also haven't checked the XP SP3 release notes 
yet to see if they were included.

I have a Latitude D620 that started having connectivity issues.  It will work

usually not.  Sometimes if I "repair the local area connection" it will work,

always work, but only for a short period of time.
When it is happening, I can ping the machine and get a mixture of "replys" and

The Dell tech thought it sounds like a software issue and we tried everything.  
Reinstalling the nic driver, stopping unnecessary services, ruling out cabling

RE: Silly question, perhaps.

Just something really basic, but should work.  Run from the DC:

csvde -f c:\mbxexpsrvs.csv -d "dc=your,dc=domain" -r 
"(&(objectClass=group)(objectCategory=Group))" -l DN,homeMTA -p subtree


Will dump all groups to csv file.  homeMTA contains the expansion server info, 
so you can sort and see which ones don't match up.

That doesn't seem to be working.

I also used msExchExpansionServerName and msExchHomeServerName, but
all I'm getting is the DN for each group, and no attribute.

Also tried it with adfind on my workstation, and same thing - just the
DN is listed.

Weird.

 I went ESM, and found the message in in the queue labeled 'Outbound -

 from us to the world.

 I then added myself to the DL, sent another test message, and it also
 went into the same queue, though I haven't yet received another
 administrative message. I have examined the event logs, and don't see
 anything that looks connected to this. The DL is local to this server,
 as are all of the members of the DL.

 This is a real headscratcher. Anyone have clues for me?

Re: Silly question, perhaps.

Oh, yeah, tried the following incantation with adfind:

adfind -b dc=domain,dc=tld -f "objectcategory=group"

and piped the results to a text file - no joy.

None of those attributes (homeMTA, msExchExpansionServerName and
msExchHomeServerName) show up in the list of attributes for any group.

On mine, there are only results if the attribute is populated (set to a 
specific server).  So, maybe that's a good thing and means the only problem was 
the one you've already fixed?  Granted, we're E2k7 at this point, so maybe the 
attribute is/was slightly different in 03.

That doesn't seem to be working.

I also used msExchExpansionServerName and msExchHomeServerName, but
all I'm getting is the DN for each group, and no attribute.

Also tried it with adfind on my workstation, and same thing - just the
DN is listed.

Weird.

Heh.

I was wondering that myself.

I created a group, and set it to a particular server, and the
msExchExpansionServerName attribute does show up.

But

How would one unset that attribute, so that it's empty? And how would
that display?

Remember, the problem came because there was neither a particular
server set nor "Any Server in Org" set.

 I believe that to be the case.

 When I bring up the Exchange Tasks context menu for that DL, it shows
 the following tasks:
 Delete Email Addresses
 Hide Membership
 Remove Exchange  Attributes

 It was migrated from the old Ex5.5 server.

I think the problem you're running into is the msExchExpansionServerName
attribute does not appear to be populated even if the option is set to "Any
server in the organization".

Re: Silly question, perhaps.

[Kurt Buff]

That's my reading, too.

However, I wonder if the approach in this link might be useful -
unfortunately, the page is in German, and my scripting skills
(especially my skills at reading them) are tiny:

http://www.msexchangefaq.de/tools/checkexobjects.3.5.vbs.txt

What I notice is that there is a construct in there that might be useful:

  If testattribute (currentobj, "msExchExpansionServerName",
"isempty")  Then warning = True

I wonder what that does - whether it differentiates between "blank,
and therefore in error" and "empty, and therefore expand on any server
in org"

Re: Silly question, perhaps.

Could be worth a test. Looking at the attribute via ADSIEdit, the field is
populated with  when the Expansion Server option is set to "Any
Server in the Organization". If you can identify another group where the
Expansion Server field is blank, take a look at ADSIEdit and see what the
attribute is actually populated with. If it is in fact blank (i.e. no text
at all) than you should be able to identify those via script somehow.
Unfortunately, my scripting skills aren't up to par either.

RE: Silly question, perhaps.

[Michael B. Smith]

Yes. But it isn't trivial.

I think the easiest way to do it would be to use adfind and generate 4
lists:

1) those that have neither msExchExpansionServerName or homeMTA (these are
"any server in site")
2) those that have msExchExpansionServerName but not homeMTA
3) those that have homeMTA but not msExchExpansionServerName
4) those that have both (these are set to a particular server)

(2) and (3) are both "wrong".

You need to ensure that the attributes match for (4).

You can ignore list (1).

RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network- SOLUTION!!

[Paul Everett]

There is nothing in the Server Event logs if that is where you are
talking about.

I'm not sure what to check on the DHCP config.  There haven't been any
changes made and everyone else is fine.

Here's what I did:

I deleted the ip entry for this computer in DHCP and DNS, put back to
dynamic ip, and for the last 4 hours it has been steady as a rock using
its new ip address.

That was a lot of head banging for this. Go figure?  

We've had lots of issues like this in the past where we've gone as far
as changing the mb.  Maybe this is all we will need to do the next time.

Hope this helps someone else.

Hmm... maybe check what Troy said then about turning off tcp chimney at
the servers, specifically it might be your DHCP server (if WS03).  MS
has a patch now that turns most of it off for you, but I've found the
reg entries to be the sure way to go if you want to be absolutely
positive-can post if you need them.

 

You might also want to check out your DHCP server and config since the
static address seems to be working better-might be that the server logs
are showing something important.

Curious, but this kind of sounds like the server-side TCP
chimney/RSS/SNP issues.  Are these features supported/enabled somehow on
XP (or Vista for Matt) or in the Broadcom drivers?  I haven't looked at
the newer desktop/laptop machines to see if this is an issue, and we use
custom images anyway, so it wouldn't necessarily be there.  I also
haven't checked the XP SP3 release notes yet to see if they were
included.

I have a Latitude D620 that started having connectivity issues.  It will
work just after it's turned on for about 5 minutes and then no network
anything (local or Internet).  Sometimes it will spontaneously start
working again, but usually not.  Sometimes if I "repair the local area
connection" it will work, but usually that fails also.  If I
"disable"/"re-enable" the adapter it will always work, but only for a
short period of time.

When it is happening, I can ping the machine and get a mixture of
"replys" and "timeouts".  The only error in the error logs is when the
"repair the local area connection" fails.  I get event id 1

Re: Silly question, perhaps.

[Kurt Buff]

Then I'm probably pretty safe, I think

I generated a full list with

  'adfind -b dc=zetron,dc=com -f "objectcategory=group"'

and piped it to a text file. The resulting file had neither
msExchExpansionServerName or homeMTA in it.

That would seem to indicate that they are all 'any server in org'.

Cool!

Is this on 2003 server? If so, here you go:
http://www.petri.co.il/remotely_enable_remote_desktop_on_windows_server_
2003.htm You will have to restart it for the change to take effect. 

Provided you can access the server via the remote registry go to:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

Under the Terminal Server key find the value named fDenyTSConnections
(REG_DWORD). Change the value data from 1 (Remote Desktop disabled) to 0
(Remote Desktop enabled).

Good morning to you all: 

While this isn't a strictly Exchange question, I thought

A little background on this: 

The group that I work with recently installed a
new DHCP server on our secure/encrypted network. The server is working
as it should, in a headless fashion, but before my co-workers removed
the Keyboard mouse and monitor, they forgot to check the "ALLOW USERS TO
CONNECT REMOTELY" check box in the Remote Desktop window of the Computer
Properties form.

Before I trudge down to where the server is located with
all the necessary things to get into the server locally, is there a way
of changing this setting via the registry?

WM9 and OMA for E2k3

[Kurt Buff]

We're trying out a Verizon VX6800, and we're trying to get it to synch
with E2k3.

I've followed the stuff in http://www.petri.co.il/configure_oma.htm,
including connecting locally with IE6/7 to the oma link, which works
fine.

I am getting a 0x80072ee2 error, and am getting now joy in connecting,
although I can do OWA on the device's IE installation.


Anybody have a clue for me? Google isn't being particularly friendly today.

OMA is the junior web access site that was last seen in 2003 (I don't miss it 
at all in 2007)

Wouldn't you rather have activesync working over the air with directpush mail?

  There is nothing in the Server Event logs if that is where you are talking 
about.

  I'm not sure what to check on the DHCP config.  There haven't been any 
changes made and everyone else is fine.

  Here's what I did:

  I deleted the ip entry for this computer in DHCP and DNS, put back to dynamic 
ip, and for the last 4 hours it has been steady as a rock using its new ip 
address.

  That was a lot of head banging for this. Go figure?  

  We've had lots of issues like this in the past where we've gone as far as 
changing the mb.  Maybe this is all we will need to do the next time.

  Hope this helps someone else.

  Hmm. maybe check what Troy said then about turning off tcp chimney at the 
servers, specifically it might be your DHCP server (if WS03).  MS has a patch 
now that turns most of it off for you, but I've found the reg entries to be the 
sure way to go if you want to be absolutely positive-can post if you need them.

   

  You might also want to check out your DHCP server and config since the static 
address seems to be working better-might be that the server logs are showing 
something important.

  "The server-side TCP chimney/RSS/SNP issues" are over my head.

  I gave this machine a static ip and so far it's working.  Over 5 minutes now.

  Curious, but this kind of sounds like the server-side TCP chimney/RSS/SNP 
issues.  Are these features supported/enabled somehow on XP (or Vista for Matt) 
or in the Broadcom drivers?  I haven't looked at the newer desktop/laptop 
machines to see if this is an issue, and we use custom images anyway, so it 
wouldn't necessarily be there.  I also haven't checked the XP SP3 release notes 
yet to see if they were included.

  That's nice but you don't know what the OS is... Broadcom adapter and Vista 
have some serious issues.  I got a bunch of machines with Vista home dumped on 
me, Nonprofit.  They had VOL Lic. and SA.  We loaded vista business and the 
exact problem occurred.  One added twist, they could surf the web all day but 
as soon as they connected to a network share or opened outlook the nic would 
shut down.  Checked with MS, they pointed me to a couple of reg hacks that 
didn't work.  Then called HP and got the run around for three days and finally 
got the answer.  The workstations were sold with Vista Home.  They are not 
supported with any other operating system period.  They will not work with any 
other OS. Please return them to your vendor and purchase suitable machines.

Strange attachment problem

[Silvio L. Nisgoski]

Hello,

When receiving emails from one particular source, the attachments ( pdf
files ) are not shown. When viewing the email through OWA, the little clip
is shown, indicating the message has an attachment, but when opening the
message, there is no attachment shown.

If I access the server through Outlook Express, the attachment is correctly
shown and accessible.

If I forward the message, inside OWA, the attachment is accessible.

Viewing the message source in OE, it seems that there is not a MIME header
before the attachment, and neither a blank line. After forwarding the
message, the MIME headers appear.

I tried to forward myself a copy of the message, to post the mail headers in
the list, but outlook mangled the contents, and didn´t send them. Silly me,
should have saved the message and attached it  to another message, not
forward it.

Only special thing I can remember of the headers, now, is that they show to
having been sent from some SAP Web processing app. Customer tells me that
these emails are generated inside their client´s system.

I´ve given up in trying to convince them that the problem is at their
client´s side, because said client will just say that this place is the only
complaining...

Is there a way that in our side I can mangle/dismangle or script something
to make Exchange accept the ill-formatted attachment ?


Thanks.
