RE: Exchange 2003 SP2 DB Corruption
Ok I tried to mount the public store and I get "Database Files in this store are inconsistent. ID no:c1041739" Basically since it is in an inconsistent state, can I just create a new public folder and try to export contents out of original public folder store and move them to a newly created public store? We decided to go the route that we did with the private info store because the customer did not have a good backup since last week of the private info store.

RE: Exchange 2003 Database Backup
I mentioned the recovery storage group to the customer, however, for whatever reason they want my company to test it out for them. We would be in a completely separate forest and exchange organization and I was questioning whether this would work or not. Plus we are running Exchange 2007 which does not seem like the issue would be with that. I think the issue from what I am reading is going to be that we are in a separate AD and Exchange Org and I did not know if this is possible or not given those facts about the situation.

Rich Text Format setting in Exchange 2010
Hello, We have Exchange 2010 that contains mail enabled contacts in the GAL and users have their own personal contacts. I have had some complaints about internet recipients receiving e-mails with the winmail.dat attachment instead of the intended attachment. I changed the setting on all the mail enabled contacts to not use rich text format. However, I have one user that when she sends an e-mail to one of her personal contacts with an attachment, it still goes through as a winmail.dat attachment instead of the pdf attachment that she is trying to send. Is there a setting within Exchange 2010 that I can disable rich text to internet recipients? I have googled this with no luck in finding the correct answer. Thanks in advance for any insight.

RE: Adding Members from Account Forest to Resource Forest
Michael, I don't think you can do this in 2003 ADUC because we created a domain local test distribution group and added the distribution group from the account forest to this test distribution group. Nothing shows up in the GAL on the new Exchange 2010 server. I think that is because anything you do Exchange related is to be done from the Exchange 2010 server. I saw a couple of things about creating contacts to get around this, but I was hoping not to do extra work. When you brought up the suggestion long ago about a Gal Sync utility, I researched this and suggested to management that we should get a utility that will sync the GAL's. However, they denied it. I guess until the right person feels the pain of dealing with these types of issues during the migration, I will have to find work arounds for everything a GAL sync utility would do for us.

RE: OAB and GAL Entries
So if I understand this correctly, I would need to create an alias in the Exchange 2003 Active Directory where my user account is listed and add the X500 legacy DN address. Then I would need to add the X500 address to my Exchange 2010 linked mailbox? From: Steve Hart [mailto:sh...@wrightbg.com] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 5:20 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OAB and GAL Entries The answer is to add the X500 address to the new user account. The data you need is in the bounced email. I struggled a lot with the proper formatting of the address, but this format is working for a sample user: o=wright+20business+20graphics_ou=wbgkent_cn=recipients_cn=bwilli...@wrightbg.com<mailto:o=wright+20business+20graphics_ou=wbgkent_cn=recipients_cn=bwilli...@wrightbg.com> The +20 signifies a space. Note the underscores. Note that AFAIK these bounces only apply to internal users. Outlook caches SMTP addresses for external users, so outside people send email in to your users just fine. Since the problem only affects internal users, another solution is to manually delete the address entries in their Outlook, if you only had a few senders with a few problems. Another ugly solution is to delete or rename the Outlook .nk2 file, but then the user will lose all Outlook cached addresses, which usually isn't acceptable.

OWA Question during transition to Exchange 2010
We have a facility that is currently running Exchange 2003 SP2 with an OWA site of mail.company.com in their own forest. This facility has a trust to an Exchange 2010 Resource forest. The URL for this facility points to their Exchange 2003 server to serve up the OWA requests. We are moving mailboxes from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and would like to keep the mail.company.com URL link the same for the users of this facility. However, I am trying to figure out the best way to keep this link working so that users can still go to one link, regardless of where there mailbox is located and be able to sign in. Once all users are moved over to the Exchange 2010 server, we are going to transition the link to point to the Exchange 2010 server, but until then, I would like to keep this link intact and not change anything during our transition. I am trying to find some articles about this situation, but not really coming up with anything that makes sense. Any input on this topic is appreciated.

Sharing SMTP Name Space Issue
Hello, I am trying to configure mail flow from one Exchange 2003 SP2 Organization that contains two Exchange servers to an Exchange 2010 Server Organization. Both of these organizations are in different forests and we are migrating away from 2003 and putting everyone on 2010. There is a trust relationship between the two forests and DNS naming is resolving correctly between the two forests through the trust.

Moving Mailboxes from 2003 Legacy Forest to Exchange 2010 Resource Forest
Hello, We are to the point where we need to move mailboxes from legacy 2003 Exchange Forests to a 2010 Resource forest, but looking for some suggestions in doing so. The trusts have been successfully established and DNS is working properly between the two forests. I know Exmerge is still an option for this, but not for sure how well this works with this type of setup. Plus I think that the user will not get any new e-mails come through until the PST file has been imported into the new mailbox on the 2010 server. Also know about the New-MoveRequest cmdlet for EMS, but not for sure if I need to use the ADMT tool to migrate user attributes over before the mailbox is moved. I am just confused right now and looking for some pointers. If anyone has some info about this, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your feedback.

RE: Exchange 2010 Database Rename and Log File Move
I only have two users in the database, so it is not that big of a deal. Most of the articles that I see for this recommend to move the mailboxes and arbitration mailboxes to another database and then you can delete the database. Then it appears that I need to manually remove the .edb file using Explorer. Is this the route that I should go if I don't want to use the default database that was created during the install?

Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 2:30 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2010 Database Rename and Log File Move Ok, there are lots of names involved here, for each mailbox database. The displayname of the database, the filename of the edb, the pathname to the edb, the pathname to the logfiles. All of those can be specified - and changed - individually. How many users do you have in that database? Perhaps it's easier for you to just create the new databases and get rid of the original one. Regards, Michael B.

RE: Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010
Michael, We have created a brand new forest that is reserved for Exchange. Then each company in our group has their own forest that will trust the Exchange resource forest. We then link their mailbox in the resource forest to their AD account in the user's respected forest. I am following this article below (this is for Exchange 2007, but same concept).

Installing Exchange 2007 into Resource Forest
Good Afternoon: We are setting up an Exchange Resource Forest as part of a project to consolidate e-mail servers throughout our company divisions. Each division is on there own forest and will remain that way. We have the forest created with all of the necessary AD configs. My question is should we establish the trusts first and then install Exchange 2007 or install Exchange 2007 first and then establish the trusts? Not for sure if it matters either way, but thought I would run it past the experts first. As always, thanks for your input!

FW: Some Questions about Whitespace
Forgot to mention that we have Windows Server 2003 SP2 Standard with Exchange 2003 Enterprise SP2 From: Chris Pohlschneider Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 10:19 AM To: 'MS-Exchange Admin Issues' Subject: Some Questions about Whitespace Hello, We are in the process of setting size limits on each user's mailbox. Currently, the exchange database only has minimal whitespace in it. My question is that if a user moves a folder that has a size of 1GB from their mailbox to a pst file and the online maintenance runs tonight, will I get around 1GB extra of whitespace in the database? Currently our deleted items retention is set for 7 days, but I am not for sure if Exchange sees this action as a user deleted something from their mailbox or if Exchange recognizes that their mailbox is 1GB smaller and thus increases the size of the whitespace in the database. Thanks in advance for your help! Chris Pohlschneider Holloway Sportswear Network Administrator chris.pohlschnei...@hollowayusa.com 937-494-2559

Exchange 2007 Server Setup for Multiple AD Forests
Hello, We are planning a project to combine all of our sister companies Exchange organizations into one. Currently, each company has its own AD forest installed with an Exchange server. At this time, we are not looking to combine all of the networks into one AD forest, just move each Exchange org into one forest. We would also like to keep every user's e-mail address the same for now and maybe changing it to the same domain name later on. Our goal is to consolidate exchange servers throughout the enterprise. In doing some technet research, the multiple forest topology looks like it would be a good method to adapt for this project. Does anyone know of a better way to accomplish our goal or is this the best topology to go with for now. Your help is appreciated.

E-mails with Attachment issue
Hello All: Last week we setup Exchange GAL sync between two forests using IIFP. All of this worked successfully. However, since setting this up, our parent company is receiving e-mails from us, but not attachments (it does not matter what kind of attachment). We can send e-mails with attachments just fine to any other organization except for our parent company. They are on a different AD forest than us and we have a trust setup with them. They have their own Exchange Server and we have our own. Both environments are AD 2003 forests with Exchange Server 2003. I have tried to do some google searches and it has not turned up any good hits. Has anyone run into this before or have suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!

Whitespace Question
Hello, I have Exchange 2003 Enterprise SP2 on Windows Server 2003 SP2. A few of our users have large mailboxes and I am enforcing limits on them. One user copied about 4GB of folders into a pst file and her mailbox size showed the size difference after that happened (reduced size). The user did this two days ago and I thought that I would see some whitespace regained anytime a mailbox size is reduced. My question is does this only increase the size of whitespace when a user deletes items?

New Exchange Server Specs
Hello, I am looking for some recomendations for a new Exchange server that we are going to be purchasing. Currently we are running Exchange 2003 SP2 Enterprise on a Windows Server 2003 box. The plan right now is to upgrade to Exchange 2007 Enterprise when we move to the new server. I am going to load up on Processor and Memory and storage space with at least 15K hard drives. One config question that I would like to ask is the disk configuration and what is the best suited config for Exchange. I have read that a best practice is to have the OS mirrored on one set of disks, the logs mirrored on another set of disks and the database on another set of disks that are RAID 5 or RAID 10. Is there any other disk configuration that is better than this? Thanks for any input on this topic.

RE: Exchange 2003 Hard Drives Filling UP
Thank You all for your help. I will check the logs tomorrow morning to see if any whitespace has been created in the database. I set the deleted mailbox retention to be zero days, so it should free up some whitespace tonight when the online maintenance runs. One last question, is there a max limit on how many GB Exchange 2003 Enterprise will recognize?

Outlook Clean Free Busy Command
I have an Exchange 2003 SP2 server running on Windows Server 2003 SP2. Recently I just fixed an issue where users could not see other user's free busy info through outlook. I followed a KB article to fix this on the exchange server. Then on the client I had to run the outlook /cleanfreebusy switch on the client to make everything work. Is there a way to do this on a global basis for all users in my domain? I have searched google and have found nothing yet.

Resource Calendar Issue
I have an Exchange 2003 SP2 Server with clients running Outlook 2003 SP2. I am trying to setup resource calendar for each one of our conference rooms. I have created a user account and mailbox for each resource and logged in with outlook to setup the resource calendar options. I am going to instruct users to choose the conference rooms as a resource, however, I am sure some of them will mess up and choose it as required. My problem is that only one of the resource mailboxes actually send a message back stating that the meeting is accepted or declined if a user does it this way. Is there anyway to configure each resource mailbox to send an e-mail back stating something about the meeting they are trying to book?

Schedule Free/Busy System Folder not showing up on Exchange Server
Hello, We have an Exchange 2003 SP2 Server running on Windows Server 2003 SP2. We have an issue where no one can see the other user's calendar information to determine if they can schedule a meeting at a particular time. I have noticed that they Schedule+ Free/Busy folder is not showing up underneath of the Public Folder Store. Supposedly there was an Exchange Server crash a few years ago before I started and I am thinking this may be a lingering problem from that crash. Does anyone have some insight on how I would be able to fix this or is there even a fix without rebuilding the server and Exchange? Any help is appreciated.
