Configuring RPC/HTTPS in a Multiple Cluster 2003 Environment
Dear all, I hope someone can help with this one. Environment Exchange Front End Servers are Windows 2003 SP2, Exchange 2003 SP configured in a load balanced set up using Windows NLB, digital cert is a wild card, and the servers are sitting in the DMZ (no ISA Server) Exchange back end servers live on a three node cluster (again all 2003 sp2) where node 1 and 3 typically host the two live cluster resources, with node 2 as a failover node for both. OWA works without firing a cert error when connecting. I have installed the RPC/HTTP proxy components on both front end servers, and ticked all the relevant rpc/http radio buttons on the rpc tab for all of the servers (ESM only shows the 4 (two front end, and two back end hosts) If I do an RPCDUMP.exe /v on the first backend server I am testing it is not listening on ports 6001, 6002 and 6004, so I am guessing that this is something to do with it living on a cluster? I have the below information rgearding reg hacks: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy] ValidPorts=server-fe:100-5000; server-be:6001-6002; server-be.domain.local:6001-6002; server-dc:6001-6002; sWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy] ValidPorts=server-fe:100-5000; server-be:6001-6002; server-be.domain.local:6001-6002; server-dc:6001-6002; server-dc.domain.local:6001-6002; server-be:6004; server-be.domain.local:6004; server-dc:6004; server-dc.domain.local:6004; mail.external.com:6001-6002; mail.external.com:6004; server-dc:593; server-dc.domain.local:593; server-be:593; server-be.domain.local:593; mail.external.com:593;erver-dc.domain.local:6001-6002; server-be:6004; server-be.domain.local:6004; server-dc:6004; server-dc.domain.local:6004; mail.external.com:6001-6002; mail.external.com:6004; server-dc:593; server-dc.domain.local:593; server-be:593; server-be.domain.local:593; mail.external.com:593; My question is do I need to add both of the virtual node names in for the back end system on all three back end registries? I am guessing I do, just wanted to run it past you all in case someone else has done this, as google is not being friendly on this one. Thanks in advance Clayton
RE: Configuring RPC/HTTPS in a Multiple Cluster 2003 Environment
Simon, agreed, poor design, (pre-me) Michael, we are talking about people who don't want us deploying 2008 member servers even though they know support runs out soon. (GR) RPC/HTTP was my idea as the firewall they have wants MD5 VPN, and well, Vista and 7. Found out after the fact that we have another client with a similar set up, so gonna have a browse through their exchange registries - you know, I am so looking forward to that ;-) Hopefully that will sort me out (he says) This three node backend cluster still has me worried, but I guess it depends on the reg entries?

Questions about masquerade domains
Morning all, hope someone can educamate me on this topic. I am looking at this setting on our Exchange 2003 SP2 environment, and note that there is something entered in there. When I look on our external SMTP proxy I see that there are outbound emails referencing the Masquerade domain. The emails referenced originate from either a Web based IT Service desk which connects to a mailbox on the Exchange server, or from an Exchange server which routes email from a remote site to the local Exchange server through a routing group connector. I am wondering why this is, and if anyone uses masquerade domains what is the practical use for them. Me no understand :-) Thanks in advance.

Blackberry :-( Issue
Hi all, first if this is a reallynewbie stupid question I will apologies up front, as thus far in my career I have been fortunate enough not to have had the displeasure of supporting these devices too much, which leaves me not knowing a helck of a lot lol. BES, latest version, 2 mailbox servers, E2K3 SP2 If a user is on exchange server A changes made onthe blackberry calendar sync to Outlook, however if you move them to server B the Blackberry changes no longer sync. I read that this can occur is mapi32.dll and cdo.dll on the exchange server does not match the version on the BES. I checked this all through and the same versions are present on all three machines. I checked the version of all of dll's in program files\exchsrvr (sad huh) on both mailbox servers and found only one discrepancy, exmime.dll (the non working server has an older version, but it is still a 6.5.76 version. Has anyone seen mismatches of exmime.dll cause the calendar issues decribed, and if so is it a simple matter of copying the dll from server a to server b and bouncing the server or is there a specific hot fix for this, google has not come upwith too much on this so far.

I have got a system folder created in 2002 that has only a version2 OAB folder. The default folder with the three versions was created in 2005.

RE: Dumb question - Contacts
What about an OU in AD for just contacts?

Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise and maybe 20 users. For years, peoples' address book has consisted of just using the auto-complete in Outlook 2003 (and now Outlook 2007 in some cases.) But now, I'm growing more and more concerned about that technique and would like an easy and reliable way to have a central repository of contacts that everyone can use and update. My question is, what is everyone doing? I would assume a public folder that contains contacts and then is assigned as an address book in people's Outlook configurations, but then I've also heard that public folders don't exist in E2K7, which I may upgrade to at some point, so I'm not sure how to proceed. So, is there a third party solution that people know of and use, or is it just a public folder filled with contacts?

RE: OWA Message Content not displayed
Under options in the browser install email security, has worked for me previously From: Ralph Smith [mailto:m...@gatewayindustries.org] Sent: 12 March 2009 12:18 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OWA Message Content not displayed I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with a problem I am having with Outlook Web Access on a single Exchange 2003 Standard installation. About half the time after the server is rebooted there is a problem that the message content will not display. The message list is visible, but the preview pane is completely blank. Double clicking on a message opens a new window, also completely empty. Sometimes issuing IISreset at the command prompt will 'magically' fix the problem. Other times rebooting the Exchange server fixes it. Other times, like today after several IISresets, and reboots it is still not working. This problem actually started after MessageSolution added their OWA add-in to my system to handle messages that are stubbed by their archiving software. In the past they have remoted into my server and fixed the problem for me, but I have had to wait days for them to fix it, and it is always in the middle of the night because apparently the only people they have who can do this are located in China. They have promised several times to give me instructions on how to fix this, but they never follow through. Is there anything I can look at? Is there a pretty standard way that they might have implemented this add-in that may have some typical things to look at? I know I'm fishing here, but I am not knowledgeable about how OWA and IIS work, and the vendor is almost completely unresponsive. Thanks for any guidance someone might offer.

Re: favorite phone
the touch pro rocks! 2009/3/6 James Kerr cluster...@gmail.com I've already made a few iPhone users jealous with my Touch Pro (same thing as a fuze). Keyboard too small?

RE: Exchange 2003 disaster recovery
It's feasible, but then you would also have to restore the system state of the Exchange server before doing the4 Exchange restore? Question to ask management: how long can Exchange be down before it starts to really hurt the business. I suspect you will find the answer is less than the amount of time it will take to restore to the new server from back up even if it goes smoothly the first time. Get yourself something like Double Take which can replicate all of the data in real time to the standby server. If your main server dies you will be back up and running in about 4 minutes from the time you tell it to failover. Way cheaper than a cluster and a lot less overhead to maintain.

There is also a spare server labelled mail dr which I believe was going to be used as a disaster recovery server in the event of a failure in the main mail server. Both the mail server and the mail dr server have the same tape drive in them. Allegedly the previous admin was going to configure the mail dr server so that he could use the previous night's backup to restore the data onto the server and everything would be back to normal relatively quickly.

RE: Exchange 2003 SP2 Mobile Messaging
In the ISA Server there will be a rule wizard to point to your exchange server for ActiveSync, so you can run through that fairly straight forwardly. Make sure you get a proper cert for it though or your mobile devices won't connect. Go to www.isaserver.org for various tutorials on the set up. Martin is right though, you don't have to have either ISA or a front end, and I have set this up just fine using a stand alone firewall with port 443 NAT's to the Backend Server.

RE: Ok it's starting BB to iPhone
:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 July 2008 17:13 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Ok it's starting BB to iPone That's a pretty good question...and WM5/6 devices have the same issue. There is actually an 'iPhone Configuration Utility' that you can use to locally provision settings/lock down an iPhone with for Enterprise use. One of the tabs lets you install your own certs, in case you use internal PKI for the OWA/EAS SSL. But if you use something from a large cert house (Thawte, Verisign, etc). you should be safe. --James On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 10:46 AM, Sam Cayze [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I wonder what type of SSL certs they accept.

I'll know for sure once we get some demos in this week (but from checking the HTTP-agents in our logs, I can see that a few people already have theirs and are working). Whether this is good or bad -- the Exchange copy will overwrite the local email and calendar on the device (only one profile, I guess). The only requirement from an Exchange perspective is to have OWA servers exposed to the internet for HTTPS. If everything else is set to default, Exchange Activesync will work just fine.

Re: Ok it's starting BB to iPhone
Hey, can't speak for Apache, but it seems to me that the cert needs to live on both the reverse proxy and the fe server. Certainly with the ISA set up you put the cert in both the ISA cert store and the website itself, else it does not work. PDA's also seem a lot more touchy with certs than a browser, as in a browser will connect when a pda won't. Can you telnet from the apache to IIS on 443? Also, on the ISA server set up's I have done I have had to make an entry for the FQDN of the cert in the hosts file on the ISA Server which points to the fe server. So if you can do this on the apache, and ping the fqdn and get a response from the fe server that might help? Dunno, just shotting out ideas really. HTH, will touch base with you later, but I am getting kicked out of the office now, so will check in from home :P C 2008/7/16 Sherry Abercrombie [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Grrr, I'm getting a little frustrated, well a lot frustrated. We've just recently gone the route of setting up OWA and now I'm working on ActiveSync. We have an Apache server that is setup with a reverse proxy to do OWA, and it works flawlessly. Attempting to do the same thing with ActiveSync, and it's not working. I go between getting an 0x85010014error code on the device to it prompting me to Please correct your Exchange Server password. on the device over and over again. It just depends on what settings I have in IIS, I've broken OWA a few times in this and fixed it, but I don't know what it is I'm missing. Exchange 2003 sp2, IIS6, and some windows device that my manager had laying around that we've put a sim card in. ISA is out of the loop since we're doing a reverse proxy from an Apache server, and we've had to install a root cert from our colo facility on the device. My apache guy says we don't need the cert on the exchange server because we're doing the reverse proxy. I've got the active sync virtual directory set to ignore client certs, it's also set for no anonymouse access, and Integrated Windows authentication. What else do I need to look at in IIS? What other settings on what other directories do I need to make? Yes, I've been googling and searching for answers since yesterday afternoon and not making any progress. Oh, I get the 10014 error code when I set the active sync virtual directory to have both integrated basic authentication, or to just basic authentication.

All, sorry for the OT, I have a groups of four people who's pop email all stopped working about a week ago. When they send/receive the error in the subject comes up. Google reveals that this is due to Norton/McAffee blocking Outlook. In this case Norton is not installed, they are using AVG. I have had one of them turn off Windows Firewall and stop the AVG services and they still get the error. From a command window they can telnet to the mail server on port 110 and login, list, retrieve etc. If I had hair I would be pulling it out, and was wondering if anyone has any experience of this and can give me a few pointers.

RE: email archiving
Because journaling is turned on (plus a couple of reg hacks) every message that passes through the MTA is archived. We use it here. While it is great for compliance in terms of enforcing our retention policy, it does not help to manage information store sizes as it is just taking a copy of everything. We just put in a solution called Zantaz. It's not cheap, but what it does is takes every email older than a specified date and moves it to archive storage. What's cool though is that the email appears to the user as if it is still in the original folder in outlook, it just changes the icon slightly. It compresses the archive and eliminates duplicates that may have got past single instance storage.

Re: Exchange fail-over
I have not tried 2007 SCR as yet, but have read a lot on it. SCR looks good, but do you really want to be doing stuff in command line when the boss is standing over you wondering when email is going to be back on line? The thing is, if you go to 2007 then you need to pitch your servers for 64 bit, and get the appropriate OS as well. If you are just wanting to get your existing data to an existing standby box, then Double Take is the way to go. The software will configure your target server so that all of the appropriate services are set to manual and stopped. When you failover it will update AD, and add the SPN for the source server to the target server, plus make any required changes in DNS. Users only have to restart Outlook if they were signed in at the time of the failover. And it can be controlled with one mouse click as opposed to having to type correctly when the poo hits the fan.

RE: Upgrading from 2003 to Exchange 2007 Estimate
Hi, first of all, forget upgrading Exchange, 2007 is 64 Bit, so you will need the appropriate hardware etc. Personally I am not a fan of upgrades, having been royally burned a few years back, but if you have no other choice, the actually domain controller part should not be too bad, and take 4 hours including Windows Update, Service Packs and testing. To be safe add an hour to that, and take an image of the box before you upgrade it. With the Exchange side of things, you will be adding the new Exchange server as a second server in your organisation and moving mailboxes. Call it 6 hours to build the server with patches, testing etc, and then the mailbox moves and public folder rehoming times depend on the amount of data stored in Exchange.

Virus Hunt (PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!)
Dear all, I have a server apparently spewing out a hoarde of SMTP messages, at least according to the Message Tracking system, which indicates the emails originate from a specific email address. This is Exchange 2003 by the way: I have checked and the system is not a relay, and only authenticated users are allowed to send. I blocked access for this particular user account to the smtp connector, and changed the password on the user account. When looking in Message Tracking subsequent to making the changes above, the messages are noted, and the last action for each message is Submitted to Categorizer. According to the ISP mails are still coming out, and there is no record of an SMTP server on the packets. netstat outputs also seem like everything is normal, although the output is extensive. The box has been swept by it's local Trend SMEX, and Office Scan, plus two other online scanners. WireShark is not telling me anything exciting, and none of the processes running in task manager seem out of the norm. If this was another authenticated machine on the LAN I would have expected the password change to have put an end to that. Has anyone seen similar, and if so could you kindly point this already bald person in the right direction? Many thanks in advance -- Regards, Clayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://alsipius.com ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~

Re: Virus Hunt (PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!)
It is the admin account, there goes my attempt at being discreet lol, Found out that Exchange 2003 SP2 is not on here, so trying that, and have disabled authenticated relaying as per your suggestions. Thanks On 21/01/2008, Simon Butler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The first thing I would do is disable authenticated relaying. It may cause some problems for some users, but it needs to be done. Very unusual for a specific user account to be targeted, the usual target is the administrator account. Therefore what might be happening is that a user account is being abused but the authentication prompt is the administrator account. I would not expect the messages to show in the Sent Items, almost certainly the messages are coming from outside and are being pushed through SMTP. Take a look at my spam cleanup article: http://www.amset.info/exchange/spam-cleanup.asp Also remember that ESM is notorious for not showing the true extent of the queues, so while you may think you have cleaned the server up, the messages can continue to flow.

RE: Is virus protection on the Exchange server necessary?
Title: RE: Is virus protection on the Exchange server necessary? For the cost of a license, is it not worth it to be protected from every possible angle? Sure, for the most part, your set up should trap most things, but it is not going to get everything. Why go through the hassle of running Exmerge etc., when a 3 minute session at the server to install AV will prevent (hopefully) you from ever having to do that. My previous bit of sarcasm is based on that thinking.

Change Password in Outlook Web Access
E2K SP2 - W2K SP2 Hi, I have only just started to troubleshoot this, so forgive me if I am somewhat vague in my description, but I thought perhaps someone else has seen similar, and may be able to fire a suggestion my way, off of the top of their head. My problem is that in OWA, either remotely, or on the LAN, when you go to the options section, and click on Change Password, you are returned only with a new window withPage Cannot Be Displayed, with no HTTP error number etc. I am assuming it is an IIS issue, but thought I would throw this out there now, as I start to look into this.

RE: WLKMMAS
A few years back I was a Security System Installer. I soon noted two things: Access Control Systems are VERY similar in function to network Access Control lists (identical really), and the guys doing networking seemed to be making a heck of a lot more money than I. So, I signed up at an ATEC, and went for it. Shortly before writing my first exam, two things happened; I got a job as a Computer Operator in a small Library, and I had a full on consulting company ask me to come and see them once I had completed my MCSE, fully aware of my background, and lack of experience in the IT industry. I did my 6 months at the Library, and passed my last exam while there. So, when my Library contract ended, I went back to the consultantcy. Here with my newly found MCSE certification, I performed illustrious tasks, such as unboxing PC's that were preconfigured, and setting them on the approriate desk, or Ghosting 125 PC's with an image someone else had already made. From there I moved onto a help desk for a large NT Network. In that 12 month period, I learned how a network really works, and that a lot of the stuff covered in the Enterprise course, really, went on the back burner when Becky in Accounts was having troubles with her company budgets in Excel. Getting MCSE Designation, without going the Boot Camp Route, as mentioned, shows you can stick at something, that, when it is totally new to you, is quite a challenege (remember this was before all the brain dump sites were really up as they are now etc. etc.) Where I really learned was on the job, and every once in a while, something I learned in my schooling and studying would pop into my head when addressing certain situations; but the reality of it is that I rely mainly on what I have learned doing this job, staying touch with lists like these, and making my own mistakes along the way. By all means, if you want to get a start in the IT industry, and you've no previous experience, go get certified, but don't think for a millisecond that you will even be close to being able to look after an enterprise environment once you are done. And, if you are already in the industry, and find that getting a certification will enhance your position or salary, go for it. Either way, the cert does not necessarily make you better at your job than someone who does not have it, but it does demonstrate commitment, and the ability to take on complex information and scenarios and apply practical solutions. Just stay away from the Bootcamps, as all you get out of that is a piece of paper, and you really might as well take it to the toilet with you for all the good it is in the real world. As for HR folks, if the Tech dept needs to bring someone in, let the Tech Manager do the initial interview to find out what the person actually does know, and then if the Tech Manager likes the person technically, and personality wise, then let HR loose on them with their questions like What would your Wife say are your weak points? Well of course, My Wife thinks I am perfect!
