Delivery Status Notifications from System Attendant
List, I wanted to see if anyone could potentially help me out with a problem that I'm seeing. I've been working for about the past week on this issue and haven't made any headway, so either my Google-fu is broken or it's just an oddball issue. We're running Exchange 2003 SP2 on Windows 2003 R2 SP2, a small handful of users are receiving Delivery Status Notifications from the System Attendant mailbox for messages they've not sent. The failure messages come back with the normal "The following recipient(s) cannot be reached" message that identifies the System Attendant as the mailbox that was attempted being sent to along with the error being identified as a 4.4.7 error. I've check this online with the most common problems being from the Mailbox Store with the System Attendant mailbox being unmounted. I've checked this and the mailbox store is indeed mounted. The delay notifications show up with the /O=DOMAIN/OU=AdminGroup/CN=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=EXCHANGE/cn=Microsoft System Attendant identification. I've run updates to Exchange in an attempt that might magically solve this, most recently this morning I've changed the Mailbox Store and Storage Group that the System Attendant mailbox reside in, but don't think that has resolved the issue. The only common link between the users that I can find is that they're all ActiveSync users and that it is affecting iPhone and Android users alike. Any ideas on next steps? Am I going in the right direction?

Re: High Writes Per Second, Trans Logs, and Event ID 602
I turned OMA and friends back on and the performance issue so far hasn't returned, so I'm a little less inclined to think that it as much to do with this user and perhaps more to do with the vast majority of our users leaving for the day around 4:00pm. I'm getting spikes and small plateaus (mesas, perhaps?), but it's not maxing out the writes/sec perfmon graph like it was before at all. By the way, I'm not sure if I'm double-posting to the list or not - each of my messages is showing up twice in GMail.

Re: High Writes Per Second, Trans Logs, and Event ID 602
We've had several iPhones for a few years. I did find a user account that was kicking an ActiveSync error every now and again (pretty sure he's a DroidX user). When I disable that user's mobile options everything seems to return to normal. My average writes/sec right now are ~4 with a max of 400. I guess I didn't realize that ActiveSync events created the trans logs in Exchange. I guess I'm just at a loss for what a user can be doing on their smartphone that it does this when we've got a couple dozen other Droid + iPhone users that can't produce the same problem.

High Writes Per Second, Trans Logs, and Event ID 602
List, Wanted to see if I could enlist your help to at least point me in the right direction on an issue we're having with our Exchange 2003 server running on Windows Server 2003. This primarily has to do with our disks which are two separate hardware RAIDs. One RAID is broken up into two logical drives - C: for system files and F: for Exchange transaction logs. The other RAID is one logical drive D: which houses all of our Exchange databases. Our last complete backup completed yesterday at around 7:00am and since then we have noticed three things occurring: 1. The server is generating an inordinately high amount of transaction logs for our organization at almost 40GB - a normal day for us can produce ~4GB. 2. The number of disk writes is also abnormally high. Using perfmon I've observed the writes/sec at an average of over 1,000 and highs of over 5,500. 3. Event ID 602 appeared in our event viewer. This event basically tells us to perform an offline defragmentation of the databases. We have four mailbox stores that range in size (107GB, 57GB, 12GB, and 10GB). I've scheduled a maintenance window for this weekend to perform the offline defrag as recommended by the event error. The only thing that we've done recently is that a couple of weeks ago we deleted a number of mailboxes (~50) as part of a measure to stay under our GFI MailArchiver license count. None of the mailboxes were particularly large. I wanted to find out if anyone else had experienced anything like this before or if anyone had run into Event ID 602 before. Any help, even to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

RE: iOS4 and Exchange
FWIW, I had upgraded my 3G to the iOS4 GM prior to picking up the new model. It was dog slow to the point that I had recommended to friends and family not to upgrade to iOS4 unless they had the 3GS. The 3G hardware has become severely outdated with all of the stuff they're ramming into these newer versions of the firmware. That being said from what I've been told anecdotally is that the leap from 3G to 3GS was night and day as far as performance went and from 3GS to 4 was an upgrade, albeit not the great leap that the 3G to 3GS was. Updating to 4.0.1 seems to have fixed my proximity sensor issue (my biggest problem) - I've personally not had as many issues with the antenna failing (once in an area that had crap cell signal to begin with).

MS does some things very well. No argument from me about not being perfect. They do, do some things very well. The most important, being as agile as they are for the size of the org. The process for identifying bugs and addressing them is outstanding! MS normally knows about problems in Exchange long before they show up on the street. No company no matter what they do can have ESP with their products, regardless of what they may be. In many cases you have to have the product on the street before you can find all the problems with a release. As far as MS and Exchange go, MS has the largest Exchange deployment in the world, bar none. They're able to test extensively in house before anything goes to the public and then goes public internally before it goes to the street. Very few knee jerks. As for Iphones, as they started landing in the hands of customers, we started seeing CAS issues. A crack team of forensic engineers was on the problem immediately. Unfortunately there was a lot of band aiding and massaging going on till Apple came out with the patch. If a component is not broken you can't fix it. It's also very hard to design a product that will be compatible with all future 3rd party products no matter what they may be. It's just not possible. Still no ESP.

Happy Monday to all! I came in to what I thought was a bit of an odd request - we're running Exchange 2003 SP2 and run GFI MailArchiver as our message archiving solution. Today I was asked about recovering calendar items from 2008 for a single user. I know that you can archive the calendar from the Outlook level, but even if you auto-archive every day it still creates an imperfect record that can be modified by a user prior to archiving.

RE: iPhone experience
The only issue I've ever had with either of my iPhones breaking is when I dropped my 3G from about 6 feet, glass down onto linoleum at which point the LCD cracked, but not the glass. It's taken a number of spills on the ground/pavement and I've only scratched the glass in one place. Then again, I'm the moron who doesn't put his in a case or have a protective screen on the glass. I drop it on at least a thrice weekly basis, usually when I've got it sitting on the arm of my chair at home. At work, my iPhone is the only one that has broken (out of about 10) - while I've had several BBs that have cracked the plastic screen covering the LCD, the keyboard stops working, or it stops charging because the plug on the device gets loose (out of about 25). Just my personal experience.

RE: Unable to Sync iPhone 3Gs to Exchange 2003 SP2
IIRC, the iPhone wants to use SSL by default. If you're not using SSL, you need to go through the set up and let it fail (just make sure it saves your settings), then go back in to the settings and turn SSL off.

I've tested it with a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone and that works and so does OWA, but no luck with the iPhone. They are an extremely small (3 person) company and their email server sits behind a firewall, and the firewall forwards the HTTP and SMTP traffic to the exchange server, but they do not use SSL for the connection. I'm entering the exact same address and credentials used to get into OWA which as I said work fine with a Windows Mobile device. The iPhone just says failed to verify credentials, but I don't see any helpful error messages. I know the iPhone 3Gs is suppose to work with Exchange, but it must require something different as part of the server setup and I can't figure out what that could be. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would prevent this from working? The server address is in the format of owa.domain.com/exchange which is a little different than I'm used to seeing, but that doesn't cause an issue with Windows Mobile. Is there something in IIS that needs to be setup to make this work? Thanks, Paul
RE: monitoring tips?
I use Nagios for this (in a roundabout way) - logs are on a separate drive from system and the information stores, so what I do is using NSClient, run checks to make sure that I'm not using more than 2% of the drive. If I'm using more than that on a drive, it means that the backup hasn't run and the logs haven't been removed. Do that for each of your servers.

RE: Ok it's starting BB to iPhone
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to dog the iPhone 2.0 software or the device as a whole - even though I was a little frustrated with it at the time. After testing it a little bit more I found that I would get messages around 10 seconds after the message hitting my Outlook, which is phenomenal compared to IMAP and nearly a wash when comparing it to the BB (what's the difference of 11 seconds). Calendar also works great. I guess my biggest issue was that I personally have a lot of folders and a lot of server-side rules (I'm sure I'm not the only one) and I'm not getting any love from ActiveSync. One of the nice things is that at this point with the iPhone, the only significant upgrades I can see being made are to storage, the camera, and the battery. All of the other issues that are around can be made in the software. There's nothing preventing someone or some company from writing a better mail app or suite of apps that handle these things more gracefully (and allow us to type an e-mail in horizontal mode, come on Apple). It's right there and I want to see it succeed.

RE: Ok it's starting BB to iPone
As an iPhone user (both the 1st gen and the new 3G model), I'm very underwhelmed by the ActiveSync functions in the 2.0 software. "Push" is a bit of a misnomer, unless I've completely configured it wrong, plus it doesn't automatically go out and grab subfolders, nor does it give you the option to select certain folders to do that with - so if you've got server-side rules, it doesn't work well. The wireless calendar function does work well and I'm not currently syncing my contacts (since you can only keep one list of contacts at a time). I'm going to (as always) stick with it and hope for some of these changes to be made in a future firmware update. It definitely makes me want a Blackberry and kind of sorry that I didn't wait for the Bold to come out, but e-mail capabilities were only part of my purchasing equation.

All hanging by a thread. DC started crashing yesterday (PIII white box). I was hoping for the weekend to do updates but my hand was forced. All 2K servers had over 50 updates. After updating Exch to sp3 w hotfixes and and updating the SM on the BES box, BES wouldn't talk to Exch. When I tried to open the BES Mgr the error was can't connect to the DB. Rather deceiving error. It's a mapi error. Following some of the RIM KB's and reading on the forums I was able to get the BES mgr started but there's still no mail flow from Exchange. I've granted the BB mailbox account every perm in the world. I'm on the list at RIM for help, min 24 hour wait. T-Mobile is no help. I've read, after the fact that SP2 breaks the BES so I had to do it good. Any words of wisdom for a guy that hasn't touched a BB in about 5 years I feel like I've just been RIMed.. Andy steps in Don?

List, Was checking my Exchange 2003 SP2 box this morning as I put it on our WSUS box yesterday to make sure I was getting any and all security updates for both Windows 2003 and Exchange when I came across Event ID 507 with the following error message: Information Store (3468) A request to read from the file "\EXCHANGE\$4a4ff51f-4031-4a40-96eb-b2cbb420fb44\$CopySrc0F47F74 7$" at offset 524288 (0x0008) for 65536 (0x0001) bytes succeeded, but took an abnormally long time (218 seconds) to be serviced by the OS. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware. Please contact your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem. I'm about ready to contact Dell to try and troubleshoot this problem, just wondering if anyone has seen this one before?

OT: Trend Micro Suing Barracuda over AV on SMTP
Call me naïve, but AV on an SMTP gateway seems obvious - don't know how they patented it. http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/01/29/1313206.shtml Andrew Greene Webmaster City of Anderson 120 E Main St., Anderson, IN 46018 765-648-5947 ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
RE: Recipient Policies Update Issue
Update: I bounced my Exchange box and my three main DCs (not all at the same time) after waiting about 3 hours. Here's what I did notice though. I got into adsiedit and poked around at the users and noticed that the msExchPoliciesIncluded attribute wasn't set. So, once I grabbed the string from a different user, I'd hoped that I was out of the woods, but then looked at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328738 and couldn't find the msExchReplicateNow attribute. After going through all of the attributes, and seeing that msExchPolicyEnabled was empty and was a Boolean value, I threw false into that and waited a few minutes and it worked. Of course, now that I'm writing this to you and testing it again, everything's working as normal. Mucho thanks to everyone -- I need to remember to chill and remember what I usually do when something's not working -- reboot the box. Again thanks!

As someone else pointed out here, you can bounce the Information Store server service and things will move along faster. But then again, do you really want to knock everyone off the server just so they can have a new e-mail address? John H.

RE: SBS 2003 and OWA
I'm not totally sure if there's something Exchange-specific, but for a normal website, I get into IIS, go to the website properties, the Directory Security tab, then there should be a section there for IP-based and domain-based restrictions.

RE: Spam Filter / Anti-Spam
I use Barracuda at my current job and also at my former employer. I've not had any problems with it and rarely have to touch it.

We have about 1200 users running Exchange 2003. Only real requirement is low administration. Once I set it up, I don't want to have to be tweaking it all the time. I have already sent a message for more information on Ninja, was just curious what else is out there. Hopefully responses will only be for products that you like :).
