RE: Recipient Name in an email different than SMTP Address
Thanks for the reply. I did try the bcc option but if you click on the recipients name it resolves to the correct name - i.e. if John Smith is in the TO: when you click on it you get the properties for John Smith. In my case, when you click on the name it resolves to Dave Jones. When I tracked the message, the message had the recipient as Dave Jones but on the email message itself the recipient was John Smith. Be kind people - but I still don't understand how this is happening.

Backup Question
I know there is a lot of discussion on what to use to backup your Exchange server - this question is much more basic - I'm just curious what the experts backup and how often. Currently, we are doing a full backup every night using ntbackup. The operations department is doing a backup of the store and directory but they are also doing a backup of each drive c:; d: ; e:; f:; This means they get a lot of can't backup open files. So I'm wondering besides the store and directory what else should be backed up. For example do I need to backup the \exchsrvr\mtadata directory? Thanks for any pointers.

Free Space in the Database
Could someone explain to me the relevance of free space in the database after an online defrag? Is there a number that you should have available. For example, I have 28gb priv store after defrag I had 222 megabytes free. Is there a lower number, that would prompt you to run an offline defrag?

RE: Free Space in the Database
I know I'm missing something here. Is this the way it works, all day the store grows,new emails, etc. The amount of free space decreases. When it gets to 0 then the database goes from 28gb to 28.xxx gb. Online defrag occurs, the store is 28.xx gb but now defragging, etc. says that I have 222mgb free until it will grow again. When the store reaches a point where it can't grow any larger, free space is used up, then the store stops? cris -Original Message- From: Drewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 11:53 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Free Space in the Database The 28GB is the size of the Store. the 222 MB free is space taken by the store that doesn't have data occupying it.

Is this the way it works, all day the store grows,new emails, etc. The amount of free space decreases. When it gets to 0 then the database goes from 28gb to 28.xxx gb. Online defrag occurs, the store is 28.xx gb but now defragging, etc. says that I have 222mgb free until it will grow again.

It's not bad to have, because it allows the data in the store to grow without forcing the store itself to grow, which takes overhead. -- Drew Visit http://www.drewncapris.net! Go! Go there now!

Chinese proverb -Original Message- From: Cris Vitsorek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 10:46 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Free Space in the Database Could someone explain to me the relevance of free space in the database after an online defrag? Is there a number that you should have available. For example, I have 28gb priv store after defrag I had 222 megabytes free. Is there a lower number, that would prompt you to run an offline defrag? If the database can grow to the limits of the store, how would you get 0 space available? Thanks for any insight.

RE: Event ID 125 and Event ID 193
the problem was the store stopped and I don't know why. There are no other errors. It restarted but I can't resolve the issue as to why it stopped - it seems like a phantom error. One q article related it to the virus checking software api going into a null state because it was trying to do an update when an on access scan was occuring. but that wasn't happening. Basically, I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen and some possible causes.

I'm running 5.5 , sp4. No the exception codes and parameters are different in my error.

deleting last instance of a public folder
In the process of reorganizing our Exchange environment, we need to remove a site from the organization. This site has one server which is a bridgehead . I have read the directions for removing the first server (Server X) in a site but they get a little fuzzy when it is the first and only server in a site. I have exmerged out all the mailboxes and deleted all the distribution lists. But what do I about removing Public Folders - There are 2 homed on Server X. Contents 0-bytes, 0 items but they are seen in the public folder hierarchy on Server Y. Apparently, you can't remove them from the Information store on this server because there is only one instance of them. Is there anything else I need to do? The other gotchas in the queue article seem to be OAB, FB, Forms, and GWART - all this seems to apply only if there are mutiple servers in the site. So this seems to take me to the second article - How to Delete a SErver from Site. This tells me to remove mail connectors. Question - When I remove my mail connector is this going to remove my Directory replication connector? Then I guess I run the consistency checker on the other servers in the other sites. Does this sound right? Grateful for any insight or article that talk about removing first and only server in a site and retiring a site.

Deleting a site
Exchange 5.5 sp4 Nt 4.0 sp6a 4 sites - one server each Our organization has multiple sites connected via x400 connectors. The corporate site is the center of this hub. Directory replicates occurs between sites via the x400. There is a single server per site.We are consolidating our sites and I need to remove this site from the organization. Does anyone know the exact sequence of steps you need to take to do this? There are some good q articles on removing a server from a site, removing the first server from the site, etc. However, I don't feel confident about how you remove a site with one server. For example if you remove the connectors (x400) and directory replication, you sure aren't going to be able to go and remove the server from the organization because it's not going to be seen. I can only assume that the directory is now going to be inconsistent. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

Testing an X400 connection
I've created an X400 transport, and the x400 connectors in my two sites. now according to a q article i should create a custom recipient with an address type of x400 and sent a test email. However, I obviously don't understand what is required to do this. The x400 address for my user in email addresses properties is c=US; a= ;p=Co1; o=Corp1; s=x400test;g=1. When I try to create a custom receipient I get the message that an admd is required. What am I doing wrong?

Searching the store to extract msg
Is there any utility, 3rd party app, or admin procedure to search the information store for all emails that contain specific text or sender. We have a help desk application that sends email to users. The app crashed. Mgmt is looking to retrieve messages that were sent out from the application to exchange users in trying to recreate the incidents. Oh yeah, the help desk app can't be restored.
