Re: Exchange/Outlook Resolution problem
Once you had your exchange 2000 server installed in your dev domain did you ever reboot your global catalog server(s)? I had some very similar issues until I figured out that the NSPI addition to the global catalog servers required a reboot.

Here is our situation - we have a development 2000 domain with an exchange 2000 server in it, basically all for testing and staging build tests. We are trying to test a blackberry server build from start to finish. One of the things blackberry depends on is using an outlook profile to attach to exchange. The only problem is - we cannot resolve any user we create in AD and generate an email address for. The email address gets generated, it propagates and all is good. However, when trying to attach to that profile (resolve it from the outlook client) it says it cannot resolve. 1) It appears the servers are talking to the GC's. 2) We are able to ping the NetBIOS name. 3) Even directly on the exchange server with a client installed, it gets the same error 4) The first exchange server has been ripped out and reinstalled many times already (my theory is this is the problem) What I am asking is if anyone ever heard of such a problem and what you guys suggest.

We all know it works .. That's not the question. The question is what paper MCSE+I student is consulting them stating it is a good idea. Especially since he/she is also getting less work out of it by only installing one server and not two. You may really want to re-consider your consultant as not just uninformed but a bad business person that probably wont be around for too much longer :). If I had my choice I would probably put 3 servers in every client we do. Considering even a base server of any importance is 2-3k, and our installation is about 2k, it gets pricey pretty quick and not everyone can afford it. I could always find ms papers to support putting everything on its own server. I would be hard pressed to find one that recommends all-in-one. Oh wait!

OWA - Basic authentication dialog box question
Title: RE: Weird one...truncated messages I have a new exchange 2000 server in a mixed 5.5 / 2000 org. Everything seems fine expect for little error signs on the exchange and public folder in IIS5. Dont know if thats related to my question though. I turned off intregated authentication in IIS (on the exchange 2k server) so everyone gets prompted with a login box when hitting http:\\exchange2k\exchange. Its coming up with the following info on the login dialog box. Site: Realm: User Name: Password: The Site and Realm lines have the word "email" for their values. Now I did setup a CNAME record called email (pointing to the FQDN of the exch2k box) so that the test users could more easily remember how to get to the new OWA on our intranet. But I cannot find any way to remove / change that info from the dialog box. Technet was singularly unhelpful in this so I thought I would ask you folks.

Re: Retoring a Exchange 5.5 Server
Is this server your restoring to the same computername as the original server? One issue with restoring the DS and IS that I have run into is the original server name is necessary for a DS restore. Obviously thats not possible if your restore server is in the same domain / network as the production one. When I do a test restore for disaster recovery purposes I take another server (different server name / same domain). Install Exchange 5.5 with same org and site values (make sure its the actual names, not the display ones. They can be different) and the same service account. Service pack it to same level as original server. Run restore with information store only. Not the directory service. Once the restore is done I do a DS/IS consistancy adjustment (Org - site- servername - properties - advanced tab - consistancy adjuster) and choose the Synchronize with the directory and ... checkboxes for the public and private information store. This will get you your public folders, mailboxes, and contents. You dont get your DS information such as site connectors, internet mail services and such but you do get your content (and is good enough for proof of concept) If you need to do a full restore of both the DS and IS (in my experience) that takes a server thats a domain controller with the same domain name and computer name to reinstall exchange to. (and not physically connected to your network). Never had to worry about the MTA in doing the above items.

They all use Outlook 98 on Windows 98 with IE 5. Messages are only from other internal Exchange users so far with no attachments and it is the body of the message that is truncated. Messages are viewable in Preview pane, but are truncated there also. If a message was sent to multiple users, the other users see the whole message. Messages do not truncate at 256 characters or anything simple like that. The sender can send additional messages (of equal length) that are not affected, so it does not seem to be related to the sender or the message length. Replacing their PCs with one that has our latest image lets them view the message properly. So I imagine that reimaging this person's PC will fix it for him. But still looking for a cause. I see absolutely NOTHING on this anywhere I've looked (Microsoft, Google, etc.). I also searched on here and didn't find it. Maybe I didn't go back far enough.) Like I said, a weird one... I bit more info would be nice! Where are the messages from - Exchange users, internet, other? Are they always from the same people or different? Are they displayed properly in Preview Pane? Is it the body that's cut off or attachments (if any) as well. Some of us are well qualified but we're not blooming mindreaders!

I have witnessed the behavior. It was Outlook 98 for each of the first two instances. Not sure on the third yet.
