Hi All,
 
I have a small exchange server (only one on site) it gets email from
POPBeamer which in turn sends it onto exchange to be processed.  
 
I have noticed that since I turned the relay and anti-spam (Q196626) that
the user on the network cant send email OUTWITH the organization ... am I
missing something there?
 
Any pointers/help would be appreciated

We're using Outlook 2000 with MS Exchange Server 5.0 sp 4.
A user has managed to enter approximately 40,000 records into her calendar
for the year 2031 (not sure how that happened).  Is there a way to wipe out
a group of messages from her calendar for a range of time Jan 2031-Dec 2031?
I was thinking about autoarchive, but I want to be able to put a range and
not autoarchive her entire calendar.

Any thoughts? tips?

Many, many thanks!

Hi guys,
I am still getting out of disk space errors that shut down exchange.  It's a
win2k sp2 exch2k sp1. here is the error:
Source: MSExchangeIS
Category: Content Engine
Event ID: 12801
Message processing failed because there is not enough available disk
space (8004010D-82000374).   
I have checked the KB and Technet till my eyes are about to fall out.  All
it says is delete some files to make more space.  This is a small system by
comparison about 50 users and mailboxes with public folders.  The storage
container is about 3 gigs and the drive that exchange seems to create is 5
gigs.  A check of the drives free space before a reboot is less than a 100k.
After reboot it's almost 2 gigs.  There is nothing on this drive to delete.
If it need to be bigger I haven't figured out how to increase it's size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  The hair on the top of my head is
thin and getting thinner by the minute.
TIA
Matt

Hi,

We have a single exchange 2000 box sitting on our network behind an ISA
Server.

When I arrived at work this morning I noticed that email was a little slow
(to say the least).  Upon further investigation I found there were 1000s
of messages behind sent through our server.

How do I configure exchange to only allow email that is sent from or

Here is the list of ACTUAL quotes I assembled for them in response to their
sudden concern (I did not include names, but these are from public forums):

When someone made a comment like this:

-"We have bought Arcserve 2000 w/ the backup agent for Exchange to backup
our Exchange Server and have been having nothing but problems." - Saul,
October 10, 2001

The ACTUAL replies were as follows:

-"Do you really want us to go for the entire day about how HORRIBLE of a
product Jerkserv is/ NTBACK2k [1] is 1000 times better. Return the
Jerkserv and install Backup Exec"

-"The best thing to do with CA products, is to place them in the dumpster,
where they belong."

-"We have been using Arcserve 2000 for awhile now and I would have to say
that it DOES SUCK."

-"why do people buy that program? I have never heard anyone say anything
nice about it?"

-"Don't get started on that crappy as*s piece of software."


Other comments about CA software, by those who actually use it:

-"Let me clue you in on something.  I've got a good friend at
CA - he told me that they have a bad time getting their E2K servers backed
up
using their product"

-"ArcCrap is exactly that...  Unreliable, no support, a pain in the arse,
breaks more than it fixes...  Shall I go on?"

-"Arcserve does an excellent job of backup things up, it's
downfall is the ability to restore things"

-"Arcserve and anything is not a good choice."

-"I agree on Arcserve, which is the lowliest of backup products anyway."

-"Arcserve and a dumpster are a perfect fit."

-"There's only so much overtime one man can do, and my quota's
fully taken by using AarghServe"

-"Run away! Fast! Seriously. There are very few here who like working with
ANY CA products even if they inherit them, much less ask for them."

-"you can switch to arcserve if your current backup is too fast for you"

-"Running Innoculan was somewhat akin to flogging myself."

-"I've only purchased a few products from CA and the support was
absolutely horrid. I have had other system administrators with the same
experience. Most of the products themselves were very good until CA
buys the company, then the support seems to go down the tubes."

-"I can't seem to get ARCServe to back up my (WINNT 4.0 SP6) Exchange server
5.5 SP2 data files."

-"EjaculateIT has worked well for us as a desktop antivirus solution for our
office, but for the Exchange Agent, I'd recommend hiring a tibetan monk to
analyse code segments manually for viral patterns than ever recommend this
piece of crap clearly written by laid off AOL programmers."

-"The last time I remember any kind of success with ArcServe was when
Computer
Associates didn't own it and it was running on Novell. Ever since Computer
Associates got involved, it has become unreliable garbage."

-"Yes, although usually alot of things tend to not work after a CA product
is
installed."

-"When it comes time to update CA's stuff, maybe an alternative would be in
order
here."

-"in my short time in the IT industry InoculateIT 4.53 is the worst piece of
software I have had the displeasure
to work with. Closely followed by Arcserve."

-"I don't feel like playing with ArcServe**It right now."

-"I just started a new job. they have this SQL server that is all hosed
up. I uninstall JarkServ and it all worked better : > no more problems
go figure."

-"Don't use arcserve - its horrible."

-"We cannot get a good IS backup using ArcServe2000..."

-"Given the knowledge (or lack or it) exhibited by various CA
techs, I trust them about as far as I can throw them."

-"You hate ARCServe? Can't understand why. Don't you like being pummeled by
a brain-dead licensing and registration process that's just an extra added
bit of torture?"

-"when we moved to Exchange instead of Netscape Messaging Server, we
discovered that Arcserve wasn't too friendly"

-"If our damn Arcserve was working could have restored the whole box, but it
has been failing
for a while."

-"We use InocIT because the tech people aren't making enough of the buying

Check the client's free/busy - normally it is only published for 6 months.
Not sure if that would generate an error but something that might be

Hi, all,

Thought I'd share with you my notes on this (surprising) new contact i just
had with the Computer Associates VP of Technical Support.  Though I had been
a vocal critic of CA's tech support in the past, even back when I was an SE,
I thought I was a lightweight when it came to CA-bashing on this list.  So I
was surprised when I got a call from their VP/TS, especially since he was
calling from the east coast.

Anyway, let me just hit the high points for you ...

I told him my main complaints with CA products (ARCserve & Inoculan) were
lack of real-time tech support, and the nightmare of RegIT.  He agreed. Here
are a few of the things he told me:

- CA has relaxed their registration code, so that now it does not disable
the service.

- They have beefed up their support staff, with an office in India with 100
techies, and now 80%+ of their calls actually get answered by a real tech
support person.  Wow!  I used to get the "take a number, we'll call you back
someday" runaround.

- Their knowledge base has been beefed up.  I recall it used to be pretty
thin. I haven't checked it out yet.

Well, I was impressed that a high-level guy from CA is actually reaching out
to customers and people in the industry, and trying to respond to
criticisms.  Maybe they have turned over a new leaf.  I won't have the
opportunity to really evaluate them as we are a Backup Exec / Sophos /
Antigen shop, and being happy with these I'm not changing horses ... but
maybe some of you out there will revisit CA products and give them a fresh
chance.

FWIW

normal but then they get a 404 instead of a page asking them for their user
name and password. I have looked through the Microsoft KB for pointers
without luck. I am thinking of reinstalling OWA but before I do so, I wanted
to see if other people had had similar experiences.
Also, if I resintall OWA, don't I have to reinstall SP4 afterwards ?

Maybe set up your RAS server for callback to your cell
#, then put the # to RAS on your speeddial. Dial when
inlaw/client/evil person isn't looking - RAS should
call you back (?). You can then fake conversation
and/or critical alert. Haven't tried this - I'll get
back to you.

RE: Blocking attachments: Know Viruses

Yes, Antigen allows you to block filename or *.extension. However,
Groupshield will allow you to block filename and extension - but it requires
service patch 7 obtainable from their prime support.

Tomorrow we are scheduled to move our single server Exchange 5.5 site over
to a new Compaq DL380 server that is part of a SAN.  Old server is NT4, SP6.
New server will be Windows 2000, SP2 but will still have Exchange 5.5, SP4.


My boss wants us do a complete backup of the server tonight, then come in
tomorrow and do a defrag of the database, back it up again, and restore it
to the new server.  It seems to be the general consensus on this list that
defrag=bad.  But what about in this situation where we are moving to a new
server and we are scheduled to have the server down for 24 hours anyway?  

I checked the event logs and, as of last night it shows that the database
has 16 megabytes of free space after online defragmentation.  Is this the
"white space" that I've heard about?  And is that all the space we will gain
by doing a defrag?  If that's the case, I will suggest we don't take the
time and risk of doing a defrag of the IS.  I'm guessing it will take at
least 2-3 hours to defrag our 36GB database  Or will there be a
performance increase by doing a defrag now?

Thanks for your input.

has 16 megabytes of free space after online defragmentation.  Is this the
"white space" that I've heard about?  And is that all the space we will gain
by doing a defrag?  If that's the case, I will suggest we don't take the
time and risk of doing a defrag of the IS.  I'm guessing it will take at
least 2-3 hours to defrag our 36GB database  Or will there be a
performance increase by doing a defrag now?

Thanks for your input.

RE: Defragging the IS

[Clark, Steve]

I feel your pain. You might want to explain the experienced recommendation
from others that have done this several times and the proven track record.
This along with the words about defragging the IS may help to convince them
otherwise.

Good luck! 

Or wait until late, in the dark, and take a baseball bat to them. Then do it
your way while their "out sick". Your call.

Call me slow, but why not put the NT 4 server in your new AD world and move
the IS and such over so as to prevent any loss or downtime?

Don't really call me slow - I might have to go to the carebear list that

Title:  Specially Formed Script in HTML Mail can Execute in
Exchange 5.5 OWA
Date:   06 December 2001
Revised:07 December 2001 (version 2.0)
Software:   Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Server Outlook Web Access
Impact: Run Code of Attacker's Choice
Max Risk:   Medium
Bulletin:   MS01-057

Microsoft encourages customers to review the Security Bulletin at: 
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-057.asp.
- -
- --

Reason for Revision:

On December 6, 2001 Microsoft released the original version of this
bulletin. On December 7, 2001 an issue relating to file dependencies
for the patch was identified and the bulletin was updated and
re-released
to include this information. Specifically, for this patch to function
properly, the Outlook Web Access (OWA) server on which the patch is
installed must have Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0 or greater installed.
If
the patch is installed on a system with a version of IE older than
5.0,
unexpected consequences may result. The "Caveats" section has been
updated to include version requirements for this patch. In addition,
it
contains version recommendations for dependent components that are
applicable at the time of this writing. In addition, the FAQ contains
remediation information for customers who have applied this patch
on systems with versions of IE older than 5.0. 

Issue:
==
Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a service of Exchange 5.5 Server that
allows users to access and manipulate messages in their Exchange
mailbox by using a web browser. 

A flaw exists in the way OWA handles inline script in messages in
conjunction with Internet Explorer (IE). If an HTML message that
contains specially formatted script is opened in OWA, the script
executes when the message is opened. Because OWA requires that
scripting be enabled in the zone where the OWA server is located,
a vulnerability results because this script could take any action
against the user's Exchange mailbox that the user himself was
capable of, including sending, moving, or deleting messages. An
attacker could maliciously exploit this flaw by sending a 
specially crafted message to the user. If the user opened the
message in OWA, the script would then execute. 

While it is possible for a script to send a message as the user,
it is impossible for the script to send a message to addresses in
the user's address book. Thus, the flaw cannot be exploited for
mass-mailing attacks. Also, mounting a successful attack requires
knowledge of the intended victim's choice of mail clients and
reading habits. If the maliciously crafted message were read in
any mail client other than a browser through OWA, the attack
would fail. 

Mitigating Factors:

 - A successful attack would require the victim to read the message
   in a IE using OWA only. The attack would fail if read in any
   other mail client. 
 - A successful attack would also require knowledge of the version
   of OWA in use. The attack would fail on other versions of OWA. 
 - A successful attack can only take action on the mailbox on the 
   Exchange Server as the user. It cannot take action on the user's
   local machine. It cannot take actions on any other users mailbox
   directly. Nor can it take actions directly on the Exchange Server.

Risk Rating:

 - Internet systems: Moderate
 - Intranet systems: Moderate
 - Client systems: None

Patch Availability:
===
 - A patch is available to fix this vulnerability. Please read the 
   Security Bulletin at
   http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms01-057.asp

I am not sure this is correct.  I believe you are referencing NAS as the
platform Microsoft does not support.  I have seen many design documents in
relation to large stores utilizing SAN's for Exchange 2000.  I know that
this is 5.5 so I could be wrong for this version.  But Microsoft uses a SAN
for their Exchange farm (EMC Sym's).

Wait.  I missed that.
 
Microsoft does not support Exchange over a SAN.  I realize that may not be

Diane,
See my answers in context below: 
 
 1. Is this a new Exchange setup? --Not really.  The server's been up for
over a year, but we just hooked up a SAN array & ran perf optimizer to
redirect the store.
 We have seven servers total, & this is the only one with a problem.
 
 2. Has this ever worked? --No, not on this server.  We normally use
ArcServe, which worked fine until recently. (before you ask, the error was
around _before_

3. This is a dumb question, butdoes this exchange server possibly still
have circular logging turned on?  --No. (I just checked).  Good question,
tho.
 (There are no "dumb" questions, only dumb answers.)
 
4. How many log mdbdata log files do you have?   --A whole bunch.  Since I
haven't been able to get a good backup, they're still there.
 
5. If you can't get it backed up, you probably have many many days worth and
a very full partion.  --The SAN _greatly_ increased my storage capacity,
it's
  only about 50% full.  The problem has been around since it was 25-30%
full, however.

Diane, 
Yes, I have.  It makes _no_ diff when the job runs.  At the present time, I
am only running the job manually and it still fails.  Sorry, should've told
you, the OS is Win2Kserver.  I run the same job on two other, identical,
servers with no problems.  Now, I wouldn't even be using NTBackup, except
that ArcSmurf choked on the backup.  After reading about similar problems
from other folks on this list, I thought I'd try using NTBackup to a file &
then have ArcSmurf back that up to tape.  Works like a champ on the other
two servers, just not this one!  Any other ideas?  Should I try running some
diags on the store?

RE: OWA Installation

[Clark, Steve]

No - you can just add the OWA from the same setup process. You will have to
re-service pack the server and patch a whole load of IIS stuff.

I use UE to automate the patch process - much easier than that other thing.

We originally installed our Exchange Server 5.5 without Outlook Web

to our existing installation or do I need to do a whole new Exchange
installation?  (Note: I have to add IIS either on the same server or on a
different one as part of this too.)  If it is possible to add it, do I
just rerun the Exchange installation and add the additional components?

Thanks in advance for any help!

hmmm...sorry for your bad experience.  
I've never used one to initiate a meeting request (fortunately I don't go to
many meetings) but many of my users have done so without problems.  Their
tech-support has been relatively good on the few occasions I've had to call.
 
We have users in San Francisco, Baltimore, and NYC with no reported coverage
problems, of course those are three pretty major cities.  I suppose it would
be important to find out what the coverage is like in the area you want to
use it, pretty much the same as you would for a cell phone.  I believe
Blackberry uses Cingular Cellular's (formerly Bell South) network.
 
Monthly cost seemed pretty straightforward to me.
 
To each his own!  I'm also a big fan of the PocketPC 2002 (I like the
built-in VPN).

Reminders

[Clark, Steve]

Anyone else experiencing problems with OutLook 2002 not displaying
reminders? 2 different offices, one is mine, with Exchange 5.5 sp4+ on an NT
4 server with W2K Pro clients. OutLook just doesn't display reminders for
the client unless you reboot the PC. OutLook 2K clients do not see this
issue.
 
Any ideas?

Hi Guys

I've been through the archives because I'm sure this has come up before
but I can't find it.

Basically whats happened is that a new user has arrived onsite with a CD
which contains a .pst file with all his old mail in it. When he tries to
connect the pst file as a personal folder he gets the error message "File
access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the
file .". Anyone know how to get round this. Like I say I'm sure
I've seen this answered before but its getting near xmas and my brain has
decided to go into holiday mode already

RE: Exchange 5.5 - Configure for Broad Band Cable Modem

[Clark, Steve]

There are other ways to do this rather than use a POP3. I have used POP3
Gateway (http://www.jak.com) for years without any problems. If you look on
the Exchange FAQ from http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm you will
see info on ETRN which is a no-cost solution for what you're trying to do.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

 The full version of exchange doesn't work with the SBS POP3 connector.
 I am assuming that you are still trying to use it to connect to a Pop3
 mailbox at your ISP, then take the mail down to the exchange server?
 The only way to setup mail now is the old fashion way with a static 
 external Ip address and a registered DNS name. Unless there are 3rd party
 Pop3 connectors that will work with full Exchange out there.

Hello Exchange List...

This is my first posting, so please
excuse the length of message.

We have been using NT Small Business Server 4.5
with Exchange 5.5 and the POP3 extensions for
more than a year with excellent results.

Dial-Up Modem / ISDN & recently Cable Modem
to our corporate mail server have all worked. 

Our local office user base has increased and we have
moved to a brand new installation of Windows 2000
and the full product Exchange 5.5 (SP4).

We have setup an Internet Mail Service, but with a cable modem
scenario we oviously don't have a dial-up connection to configure...
and in SBS the POP3 extension handled this area quite happily.

We can Send e-Mails to external addresses and internal addresses.

However, we just cannot get Exchange to poll the Corporate server
to collect inbound Mail for us.

In simplified terms for a non-Exchange person - What information
should we ask our mail-server colleagues for; how & where should we
then configure this and in practical terms have we missed something obvious?

If you think Exchange 2000 is a better option for a clean install we
are ready to move and work with that product...

I just cannot seem to find simplified step-by-step instructions for either
Exchange 5.5 or 2000.

Any help and/or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

RE: Anit-Virus Software for Exchange

I've always heard the same thing. It was a dead toss between Trend and
Antigen. However, I attempted to contact Trend regarding some questions I
had about the product and a potential relationship. They snubbed me. I
contacted Sybari, got right through and was able to set up a relationship
with ease.

Since adopting the product in all offices, I have found the product to be
fantastic with little or no problem what so ever. When I did have to contact
support, the issues are not only resolved - they follow up with me when I'm
not forthcoming on the results.

Extremely impressive.

My vote from not only product capability but from world class support is
Antigen.

[Clark, Steve]

Let me know if you need a multipage timeline w/hours on every little step. I
had to make it look very technical for a wanna-be technical client.

William,

I will be moving my old exchange server(ex55sp4,NT4sp6,BDC) to the new
server(Nt4sp6).  Is it any harder to move to Win2K server?...or use a
different name on the new NT box? We don't use ADS as of yet so the install
will still be EX55sp4.  I may be using the Ed Crowley move method.

Thanks again,

Fred

It makes no sense to me to maintain it on a separate server for less than 50
people.

For Exchange2000 Standard, you no longer have the choice.  IIS will be
there.  My as well get used to it.  :o)

Thanks William,

You always have great info to share...as usual...we are a small enterprise
(under 50 people)...so I don't think performance will be an issue (also
upgrading the exchange server hardware)...your right, my concerns do deal
with having to enble IIS and constantly making sure all the patches are
applied.

Hi Fred:

Pros: Single admin entity
Simple for small deployments
Less hardware, therefor cheaper.

Cons: IIS and the related patches reside on the mail server.
Server performance burdened with IIS and Exchange on the same box.
Applying IIS patches to your exchange server can be annoying.

We are in the middle of consolidating as many machines in our infrastructure

It is per workstation for version 5.5.  It looks like they changed it to per
user for Exchange 2000, but that may or may not apply to volume licensing.
 
So - you need a Win2K/NT4.0 CAL per user or per workstation (per server or
per seat mode), then you need an Exchange 5.5 CAL per workstation (including
home machines if they use OWA to authenticate).
 
There was some academic volume licensing in 5.5 where they licensed Exchange
per user instead of per workstation.  Your best bet is to check out the
license agreement your purchased under.  Microsoft doesn't do a one size
fits all for licensing.

RE: Internet Mail Connector - HELP

[Clark, Steve]

They handle the DNS settings on your behalf. If you want the SMTP mail to be
sent to you, punch a hole in your firewall and assign it an external static
address mapped to the Exchange SMTP service location (your Exchange server).
Provide that IP address to your ISP and they will start funneling the SMTP
mail to you.

But, your not done - there are relay items as well as configuration issues
that you want to look at - I have several links off my website to Exchange
FAQ's that walk you through step by step (www.clarksupport.com).

RE: Exchange Server Unavailable

[Clark, Steve]

Shut down the antivirus product to ensure it is not an antivirus problem. Do
you see anything in the logs indicating errors - if you test on a W2K PC,
you can check the logs on that box as well. How about swapping the name for
the server to an ip address to see if it is a WINS issue?

Have seen this long time ago with NT 4 and EX 5.5. Turned out to be a WINS
database corruption issue as opposed to a problem with EX.

Hope my mad thoughts helped yours.

RE: CDW

[Clark, Steve]

I’ve
bought name brand and off brand and had good/ bad experiences on both. One
office right now has a Gateway 2000 PC as it’s server (only 5 people so there’s
not much load) but it has hardware problems. The only way I can resolve is to
call Adaptec on the controllers, Seagate on the drives, Kingston on the RAM and
GW2K on the motherboard. My point is this, with Compaq or whomever, you call Compaq
for all the hardware issues and they replace with very little hassle. If you
piece meal a server from another company or yourself, you now own the component
warranty and it’s a pain in the A$$.

 

Now from
what I have heard, GWK sells a server and there are a million small shops
selling servers – will they be here in 1 year when the market continues to
spiral down. What utilities and installation software routines do they
accompany with the products? I stick with Compaq on the server as they are
simply the best.

 

My experience,
my $.02.

There are a lot better
faster and cheaper servers around that don't have a name brand. We used to shop
around until we found a dealer that did white boxes. These are genuine Intel
Boxes that cost a hell of a lot less. My last server we got 2 weeks ago was a
4U box with quad Xeon  700's with an external DPT array holding 7 36GB
harddrives and 4 Gigs of memory. It is a beast of a box that cost us around
16K.  I know for a fact I could get the same specs for the Compaq you
ordered for around 6-7k easy. If anyone wants a contact please feel free to

Subject: Problems connecting to Exchange Server

Hi everyone,

This may be remedial, but I'm having with a new installation communicating
with Exchange Server.

The new machine is a Windows 2000 Professional workstation, SP2.  It is
using
Outlook 2000, SR-1.  The Exchange Server is v5.0, which is also the PDC for
our only domain.

The problem is the message "Your Microsoft Exchange Server is
unavailable...Retry, Work Offline, Help" when Outlook starts.  If Retry is
selected, there is a very long delay, then Outlook starts normally.

This issue is fairly strange in that this workstation cannot PING the
Exchange Server.  The IP address for the Exchange Server is 10.0.0.228.  The
IP Address for the workstation is 10.0.0.245.  They cannot PING each other
from the DOS prompt.  Switching network cables hasn't helped, and neither
has
using different hub ports.  Those cables and ports have been proven reliable
by connecting with other machines through them.

There is an LMHOSTS. file relating 10.0.0.228 and the Exchange Server, which
is named TCM_NT1, with the following lines (which seem to work on all the NT
workstations)
  10.0.0.228   "trendstat_nt   \0x1b" #PRE
  10.0.0.228   tcm_nt1#PRE#DOM:trendstat_nt

We have tried adding
  10.0.0.228   tcm_nt1
to the HOSTS. file, which has not helped.

When Checking name resolution under the Exchange Server Properties in the
Control Panel Mail applet, entering the IP address results in a "machine
cannot be found" type of message, but entering TCM_NT1 eventually
resolves...eventually meaning 45-90 seconds.

We have tried changing the RPC order in the HKLM\...\Exchange Provider key,
as recommended in Q163576, but this also hasn't worked (some of the new
combinations locked up the machine).

We are able to PING all other machines on the 10.0.0.x network from the 2000
workstation, all except TCM_NT1, and TCM_NT1 can ping all machines except
the
2000 workstation.  It seems logical that the fact that TCM_NT1 is a Primary
Domain Controller is an issue, I'm just not sure how, or how to resolve.

Any thoughts or ideas?  All help is greatly appreciated!!!

Yes, that's the directory.

Thanks for the clarification - I don't use the other connectors so the IMC
archive is really the only thing I look at periodically.

That is the ARCHIVE directories in the IMCDATA tree.
You have one for INbound traffic and one for OUTbound traffic.

However, this only covers the IMC and does nothing for X.400 connector,
internal deliveries (inside the same site or server) or the X.25 connector.

It would require actual work to UNC and look. Most of the other stuff is

Guys and Gals,

Exchange 5.5 Sp4

Everyone in my company is having problems send mail outside of the
company.  If I look into the Queue in the IMS there are a bunch of
messages in the 'Outbound messages awaiting delivery' section.  As soon as
I send an email it is posted there and it says that it is pending under
'delivery'.  If I wait a second, and hit refresh, the message is still
there, but it no longer says pending, it has a date and time.  But I am
not getting the email.  I can recieve email from the outside with no
problem, just sending email to the outside.  Any ideas would be great.

Thanks in Advance

Derek

RE: Problems connecting to Exchange Server

[Clark, Steve]

But that would not affect the ability to ping by IP - any clues from the
logs on the PC or device manager?

Worst case - rename the box and restart. Test to see if the non-standard
name would stop the server/ workstation services. Last resort, pull the NIC
and IP stack and reinstall.

You've got a good one there!

Steve,

Yes, that workstation can ping EVERYTHING else on the network.  And the
Exchange Server can ping all other machines except THAT one Windows 2000
workstation.

I may have a small clue...I started a 2nd Win2K installation and when it
asks
for the machine name, I used one of our standard testing names TEST_NEW.
The
installation program balked at the use of the "_" character, saying
something
to the effect that only MS DNS servers would be able to recognize that
machine?

The original machine name is KATHY_PC.  I tried changing it to KATHY-PC,
which didn't help.  Next try was just KATHYPC.  Still no luck.  The
workstation was rebooted between name change.

Still working on getting the 2nd Win2k up and running, so I can see if that
one has trouble also.

Sorry - missed that you had already renamed and restarted. Anything in the

This would not affect it - but is the computer/ user account in the domain?
I did have problems after posting updates and my IP settings were not 100%.

If Exchange2000 wasn't
released already, we'd probably see an exchange5.5 sp5.  We still might.

Does everything work OK
before SP4?  I can't see why anything
in SP4 would cause those problems.

What sp4 are you using?

 

Download?  CD?

 

Also, there are several
post-sp4 fixes for the MTA.

exchange

Hello All, 

Me again with/on about SP4. It's giving me
a hell of a headache and before I talk to MS maybe you have some bright ideas.

Here is the deal 

I installed the software in the following
order 

Compaq 1850 
NT 4.0 
NTssd (compaq stuff) 
iis4 
Sp6a 
some iis patches 
srp 
exchange 5.5 
(stuff replicated!!) 
exchange sp4 

after this MTA just doesn't want to start
anymore with the error of... 

A fatal system error occurred while
initializing the MTA. Reboot the computer. If that does not work, contact
Microsoft Technical Support. [4 BASE IL MAIN BASE 1 173] (16) 

And NT service 2140 error (when trying to
start the mta). 

 

why why why why? 

If you have some additional questions or
hints please let me know. I want this sp4 running well and till now that is not
working (as still my imc - other machine - needs to have a reboot once in a
while since sp4).

Groetjes, 

Nicole

RE: Automation of E-mail sending out

[Clark, Steve]

Agree 100%. Most of the VB scripts that I've seen require OutLook or OE to
be running on the machine that will send the message. Using BLAT, since it
is a command line utility will completely bypass the requirement to have the
client running or installed - it uses SMTP within your Exchange server.

Very nice utility - AND IT'S FREE!

Does anyone know or recommend a script that will return an email without
having to use a client (O2K or OE) on the Exchange Server? I've looked and
installed the CDO option but have a snag where I still have to monitor the
mailbox. Using a rule to forward it to myself negates the autoscript and
also means I have to have the client running.

Or use BLAT instead of a POP3 mailer...

If one of your servers has the IMC, you can use one of the freeware POP3
command line mailers, and use a scheduled event on the server.

Is there a way for you to have an email automatically sent out once a week.
The reason I ask is that the company wants a e-mail sent out every Monday
morning telling everyone to complete there billable time sheets.  If anyone
knows how to do this please let me know.
