 NT Servers can be just as secure as Unix servers, if you 
 apply the proper patches.  You do apply the proper patches, don't you?

 Are you sure you want to put NT machines on the firewall?  
 Shouldn't there be UNIX machines there for better security?

 Currently we run; 
 
 Exchange 5.5 SP4 
 WinNT4.0 Sp 6A 
 
 We also currently have our mail routed to us and 
 scanned\filtered  by an outside company which costs $$.  We 
 are looking at building a server that just does SMTP 
 relay\filtering\scanning and put it in our DMZ.  We are also 
 looking at putting Trend virus scanning on the box so that 
 our mail is scanned by two different AntiVirus companies 
 before delivered to the users desktops.  Our logic behind 
 this is sometimes Trend comes out with a pattern a little 
 quicker than Symantec, so we do both.  We also do attachment 
 filtering with Norton For Exchange. 
 
 I guess I have a couple of questions about this; 
 
 1. What is everyone else using for SMTP relay.  What 
 software, location of server, etc. 
 
 2. What is the best SMTP relay software\hardware?  Should I 
 just use another install of Exchange on a regular server`? 
 
 Any suggestions or relevant web sites will be greatly appreciated. 
 
 Regards, 
 Shawn

RE: NT 4 120 day eval situation

2001-10-31 Thread Andrew Duey 

I think you just need to Upgrade this machine with a regular full
version of NT4 (make sure it has SP6 in it).

The upgrade will update the binaries to current versions but leave
your configuration in place.

Hy,

i have a NT 4 (SP6a) server with MXS 5.5 (SP4) running on it. Lucky as i
am
the server suddenly thinks it´s a 120 eval box and reboots every 2
hours.
Having a look at Q173507 i´m not too happy with this solution. Has
anyone
used http://www.algintech.com/UTools/UDeploy.asp to solve this situation
?

Thanks a lot

RE: Migration from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000

2001-10-18 Thread Andrew Duey 

Run the other way!  I did a fair amount of reading and preparing and my
migration to Exchange 2k is going over like a lead ballon.  I'm just
thankful that I've got new hardware that doesn't have to go into
production immediatly.
 
Also, make sure you have a few support incidents, I did everything by
the book (according to the MS engineer) and I still spend 8 hours on the
phone with a MS tech and another 3 days trying to clear the problems up!

Hi Guys
I am in the process of planning our migration from Exchange 5.5 to
Exchange 2000 - I have finished migrating our domain to Active Directory
and that all went pretty smoothly, but there were a few gotchas not
mentioned in any documentation and MS's way of doing things is sometimes
a little questionable.
I thought before I jump into the fire I would put this out so I don't
have to pull out as much hair as some of you may have ;-) It is only a
single site with around 100 users with huge volumes of mail.
Your advice would be very appreciated.
Cheers
