I asked about the OWA coverage; she went and asked someone else. Result: if the off-site user is using a desktop system to access OWA (or Exchange, via a VPN), then YES, it needs a license. If they are using a laptop, NO, they do not need a license - since the Exchange CAL covers *both* a desktop *and* a laptop of a user. The system mailboxes (Attendant, Free/Busy, etc) are covered under the server license, and so do not require CALs. NAV does *not* require a CAL; the NAV for Exchange is supposed to be sold with a CAl for the user that NAV for Exchange creates.

RE: Why would anyone install Exchange on a PDC?
Title: RE: Why would anyone install Exchange on a PDC? How does a RAID 1 (mirroring) not keep you running in the event of a failure? I'm curious. It most certainly IS fault-tolerant. If you lose a disk from RAID 1, you are still running. You don't HAVE to run maintenance until you decide to. Now, certainly, it would be idiotic NOT to replace the failed disk right away and break/re-create the mirror, but with newer RAID controllers, you can even do this online. RAID 5 will give you the EXACT same downtime. You replace the dead drive, and you wait while your RAID controller rebuilds the stripe set. But again, what is the difference between the 2 in terms of time? What, a couple of minutes? I do concede that AS LONG as your databases and log files are kept on separate spindles, then I personally don't care whether you use RAID 1 or 5. Replaying the log files comes into play when you restore the database from tape backup. I don't think it applies to creating a new database. Circular logging IS on by default, but most Exchange admins with experience (meaning those that know about Exchange and its features and why certain features are used and why others aren't) turn that feature off as one of the first steps once they build a server.

Ive done with with PSS on the phone twice due to the cluster we HAD screwing up the DB. It didn't matter that our log files were on the RAID 1 partition or on the disk where the DB was.

Circular logging doesn't come into it. You simply wouldn't use it on a mailbox server. The difference is simple: scenario 1 means you lose that day's email, scenario 2 you don't. In scenario 1, if you lose 2 disks, you ain't gonna have your log files. Also, with a -1018 error, I wouldn't bother attempting to repair the database. Would you seriously use eseutil /p on a production database? The recommended method is to restore from backup (after fixing the hardware problem) or restore the backup to alternative hardware. Why RAID1? Well, the best practises have always been to use a separate drive for the logs that perform sequential I/O in an optimal fashion. RAID1 meets this requirement. For servers with large numbers of users, this is an issue. And if you lose a drive in a RAID1 array, well, you've still got your data intact. Yes, you could use RAID5.

RE: Sendmail & Exchange
It's a little more complicated than that. I think it will still work the same exact way it did with 5.5 and Custom Recipients. If you want to "forward" the mail off the Exchange server, to another e-mail address, you will still have to create a contact for that other e-mail address. Then, once the contact is created, you can set the user properties (under Exchange general) to deliver to the alternate address (the contact in this case). I don't believe that you can simply add the sendmail address in the Forwarding Address box. I could be wrong, but I don't think it will work that way.

Yep. I know there are ways of bulk-importing too, it's just different from the csv import/export of 5.5.

If you want to "forward" the mail off the Exchange server, to another e-mail address, you will still have to create a contact for that other e-mail address. Then, once the contact is created, you can set the user properties (under Exchange general) to deliver to the alternate address (the contact in this case).

Sounds like you might benefit from your own CA then. Isn't there an option to install Enterprise Standalone CA? Been awhile since I did my last install. Do remember also that once you install the cert and assign it to the web page, you will always get that notification window stating that the cert could not be verified to be from a trusted source, or something like that.

RE: SSL - no visble certificate
An alternative to this would be to install the certificate on all clients that need to access OWA, and add the certificate to the list of trusted providers. I think this may accomplish what you are wanting to do, but the question will be is it worth it to go to all the trouble of doing it.

RE: Recovering lost space
You would be correct in your thinking that eseutil is not the safest thing in the world to use - If you don't know what you are doing. It's not something you play around with on your production server. You also need to realize that if you want to defragment your database, you have to stop the services. The defragmentation itself can take a LONG time if you have a large database to defrag. Is there a real reason that you feel you need to decrease your database size? You do know that the "whitespace" will be used again before the database grows in size? Not trying to instill fear into you, well, ok, I am. But the point is, be careful with those tools.

RE: Recovering lost space
Did you also check your event log to find out exactly how much white space there was? That should have given you a good idea. Look for event 1221.

My question is if this sounds right to you guys... I took 3GB of mail off the server and into PST files (in other words, the directory on my file server that's holding the 15 or so PST files is about 3GB in size). When I ran eseutil /d, the priv.edb only went from 8GB down to 6.4GB. I was really hoping for about 5GB. Am I dreaming? If so, why? Why wouldn't eseutil actually give back that space that is now in PST files?

We're using Small Business Server 4.5 with NT4 Server. It requires shutting down the exchange server, and you need space for the temporary database so it can execute.

RE: Opening other user's inbox
Title: RE: Opening other user's inbox Did you look at the Q article that I posted??? Event 1016 Generated When You Open Mailbox or Schedule of Another User (Q173692) The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0 , 5.5 SYMPTOMS When you attempt to access another user's mailbox or schedule, Microsoft Exchange generates the following event in the Application Event log: Event ID: 1016 Source: MSExchangeIS Private Type: Success Audit Category: Logons NT User DOMAIN\username logged on to John Doe mailbox, and is not the primary Windows NT account on this mailbox. This occurs even if you have permission to access the mailbox, and it occurs regardless of whether your attempt is successful or unsuccessful. CAUSE This behavior is by design. Exchange records Event 1016 in the Event Log regardless of how you set the diagnostics logging level on the Information Store. The decision to log this error was made with security in mind. It is important that any possible security breach be logged. If this type of logging were suppressed, an actual breach of security would not be logged.

RE: Exchange 5.5 Sending Email Problem
How about posting the NDR in it's entirety. Do you not want us to know your domain name (oh wait, that would be communitech.com wouldn't it), or the domain you are trying to send to? Do you have any service packs on Exchange? It is up to SP4. Do you have message tracking enabled on your server? Can't track messages without that. Have you checked your event viewer for any messages in there? If you find any, post them.

We are getting UNDELIVERABLE error messages when sending to several .net email addresses, as well as a few international email addresses. Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue would be apreciated, The server specs are: NT 4.0 sp5 with Exchange 5.5 (build 1960.5). Now I know it could be up to service pack 6, but we haven't yet. I will though if suggested however only if it solves the issue at hand. The exact error message goes something like this: ??@.net on 4/15/02 1:15pm Unable to deliver the message due to a communications failure The MTS-ID of the original message is c=US;a= ;p=Personal, Inc;l=Servername-020415181130z-1450 It seems as though I get this "Undeliverable" message withing seconds of sending the email. Any way of tracking the message, because it seems as though it's not even making past Exchange. Thanks in advance...

If circular logging is enabled, they will be overwritten. I'm not suggesting to enable circular logging, just pointing that out. To resolve your problem, you need to perform an online full backup, which will purge the transaction logs once they are committed.

On my E2K server, the MDBDATA folder keeps filling up with transaction logs and fills the up the disk instead of overwriting them to the point of shutting down the MTA service.

RE: domain
Title: Message But if you are interested in security at all, you don't put an Exchange server on your DMZ. Or any box that has to authenticate with the internal domain, for that matter.

RE: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story
This is just another reason that I do not like "upgrades". Migrations - yes. Upgrades - NO. I do not think I would ever attempt to upgrade my 5.5 server to 2000. I would procure separate hardware for the new 2000 server. If any of you get MCP mag, you will read in one of the last issues almost the same exact story. Person attempts upgrade, upgrade fails. Lesson learned? Don't upgrade. Migrate. Ben Winzenz Network/Systems Administrator Peregrine Systems -Original Message- From: Tom.Gray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 9:05 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story This is just an informational post, you're welcome to comment on it but I'm not really asking any questions. Just thought folks out there getting ready to upgrade might want to hear the story. I just spent the night upgrading (or trying to upgrade) my exchange 5.5 server. We have a very simple network. 1 domain. 200 users. 1 exchange server. 2 domain controllers (not the exchange server). Started about 2 weeks ago prepping for upgrade. Armed with: White Paper "in-place upgrade from msoft exchange 5.5 to msoft exchange 2000" Q316886 "How To: Migrate from exchange server 5.5 to exchange 2000 server Q282309 "upgrading exchange server 5.5 service pack 4 to exchange 2000 server" Q295922 "considerations when you upgrade to exchange 2000 server" Q296260 "how to configure a two-way recipient connection agreement for exchange server 5.5 users" Q253829 "description of the active directory connector deletion mechanism" And, of course, monitored this list (and the sun-exchange) one for upgrade ideas! Now some of the documents have conflicting information. If you weed thru the dates and such you can usually figure out what is really true. For example, the white paper states you MUST have at least one domain running in native mode, but the HOW TO describes a scenario where all domains are in mixed mode. With the domain controllers upgraded to win2k active directory (mixed mode) last month I tackled the exchange upgrade this month. Went thru the white paper and how to, updating the schema (forestprep and domainprep) and ran all the tests listed in those docs to verify it was working. Got exactly the results they told me! First time I ran the actual upgrade got my first rude surprise. My vendor had shipped me the Exchange 2000 standard edition media (which doesn't really say standard on it, just Exchange 2000) and the upgrade process stopped immediately with "You can't go from enterprise to standard you idiot" Two days later I have the correct media. Take the server off the network and run an online backup (Veritas backup exec with exchange option). Verify the backup worked. With exchange services down get back on the network and run domain tests again. Everything ok! Run the upgrade! The upgrade goes thru several processes but hangs at "Setup failed while installing sub-component "Site Replication Service with error code 0xC007041D" -- retry or cancel" search MS knowledge base and looks like a permissions issue (Q278254 and Q273730). Hmm, make sure the exchange service account has all the permissions and click retry. Still no work. Rats. Getting late so time to make the $250 call to PSS! PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works. They have me change the service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to SERVICE ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct). Still no joy. Try to cancel out of that error message. Nada. Have to task manager/shut down process. They then refer me to the ultimate nightmare: Q264309 - How to Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000. Yuck. Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all service packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed exchsrvr folders, setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info store. Restoring directory service doesn't work. Call PSS back. Directory service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service. Change to manual start and reboot. Directory restores!!! Restore info store. (8 gigs). 2 hours later ready to go! (almost) Now the internet mail connector isn't working. Dawn is breaking and panic begins to creep in. Users will be screaming in about 2 hours. Call PSS again. End up deleting the IMC and creating a new one. They very patiently step me through lots of good stuff, including making sure I'm not an internet relay and that I'm not doing circular logs. They even stand by while I reinstall my Anti-virus for exchange. Everything is working. It's now 7am and I'm back to my original pre-upgrad
RE: settle this
Yep - you are definitely right. I also referenced my wonderful book by Tony Redmond and it states quite clearly that you are limited to 5 databases per storage group, and 4 storage groups per server.

1, 2, and 3 are all possible, but are signs of a much larger problem. Said best by Ed Crowley "There are seldom good technical solutions to behavioral problems". I'll leave it at that.
