Microsoft Outlook 2003 OpenLDAP Addressbook Integration

2009-11-01 Thread Daniel Hood
List,

I have set up an OpenLDAP AddressBook Directory server. Its currently
up and running and has a bunch of contacts in it. I've got the
OpenLDAP AddressBook Directory set up on a couple of Microsoft Outlook
2003 clients.

Two questions.

1. When I first open outlook and open the ldap.example.local
addressbook, theres no contacts. Then once I search for A, it pops
up with Administrator and then J pops up Joe Bloggs. Then when I go
out of search results and into the ldap.example.local addressbook,
it shows the Administrator and Joe Bloggs contact. It doesn't show
them at startup until I specifically search for them, then it appears
in the addressbook. But once I close and open outlook again, it
disappears... Any ideas how to get all the contacts in the OpenLDAP
AddressBook Directory to appear at outlook startup?

2. I can create contacts in all the addressbooks except for the
OpenLDAP AddressBook Directory. It just says Can not create contact
when I try. Any ideas on how to enable the ability to create contacts
from Outlook 2003 to OpenLDAP?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Daniel



Outlook 2007 Contact Groups Issue

2009-08-19 Thread Daniel Hood
List,

This issue doesn't relate to exchange, it more relates to Outlook itself but
if anyone could help, it would be you guys.

I have a workstation here that has Outlook 2007 installed on it. (It
connects to our exchange server via POP / SMTP because this person has a
unique situation). The person that uses this computer has 100 or so contacts
in their outlook which also includes 2 - 3 contact lists of about 10 - 25
contacts. Whenever they send emails and specify each email address out of
their contacts or type the email address out, then the email sends. But if
they try and send an email addressed to one of their contact lists, it just
sits in their outbook and nevers sends.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot / fix this situation?

Regards,

Daniel


POP Connectors Odd Problem

2009-03-12 Thread Daniel Hood
Alright guys,

 You seem to be exchange pro's,

 I'm having quite an odd problem with Windows SBS 2003 and Exchange 2003's
POP connectors. I seem to fix one error and two more pop up, I seem to fix
those two and two more pop up. The set up is: We have our domain hosted with
a hosting company, we have all our email addresses hosted on
their mail servers and we download the mail from their servers via POP3 to
our SBS server, our SBS server then distributes the mail to the correct
accounts and its done that way, because we dont have a fixed IP at the
office location.

 I'm having problems with Exchange (Im guessing, Im not to sure at this
point), intermittantly dropping mail. Like I will get notes from users
saying A client tried to send me an email, but it still hasn't come through
yet and the client has obviously sent the email. But, its not ALL the mail,
just 2 or 3 emails get lost out of a couple of hundred daily.

 I am getting a lot of error 1023 and 1036's in the application log, part of
the event log. Saying things like:


An error occurred during a POP3 transaction to server mail.example.com.au [
michael.l...@example.com.au]. The error is 58 (The specified server cannot
perform the requested operation.



Or



The downloading process for mailbox michael.l...@example.com.au [
mail.example.com.au] was ended with one or more errors.



 I have got a couple of NDR's but most of the clients whose mail fails to
reach us, dont seem to get NDRs. Here is one of the NDRs:

I have tried resolving this issue for the past 2 - 3 days. I have tried to
use imbreg.exe (as was stated in a few kb's regarding these errors), i have
tried to update the server and have added Hotfix KB 835 734 , but I cant
seem to get this up and going correctly...

Any ideas?

Whoa seems like Ive got quite a few replies. I think I'll look into
Untangled and Ninja, as they seem to be the general vibe of everyone.
If either of those don't wont, im going to have to bite the bullet and
put a linux box in and set up mail scanner and such. I may be the
linux activist at the office here, but the extra work is just a pain
in the ass.

Hey,

I'm looking for a good open-source/free product that we can use in
conjuction with our exchange server to filter out spam. We did have
mailwasher but due to the opensource version being crap and the
enterprise version costing as much as putting an entire detriot high
school through college, I'm looking for another free/open-source spam
product that actually works.

Ideas?

Troubleshooting Exchange Mail Transaction Resources

2009-03-05 Thread Daniel Hood
Hey Guys,

Im primarily a Cisco Engineer and have had very little exposure to
Exchange. Our exchange techie has just left the business and so
someone has to deal with the exchange server problems. We are having
some problems with Exchange 2003 Servers (4 or 5 seperate issues,
involving 3 or 4 servers) sending/receiving mail. The issues are
things like one server is dropping the odd message or two (no spam
protection), one server is intermittantly sending mail and being
flagged as spam, another server is receiving the mail (shown in
transact logs) but its not showing up in the mailbox.

I understand that everyone here has better things to do then try and
teach a Cisco Engineer how to troubleshoot, diagnose and then fix
these problems, so what I'm looking for is a good guide on
troubleshooting exchange related issues (to do with mail transactions,
like sending from one server to another and things like that). I have
had a flick through an SBS book, that has very basic exchange stuff
and a MS book about Exchange 2003, but they dont give a lot about
troubleshooting.

Does anyone have a good guide or can scribble down some quick notes on
how to troubleshoot? (Like the 'telnet localhost 25' and then try and
send mail like that, kind of trick).

Regards,

Daniel

I understand the basics of exchange. (As I've had to set up two
exchange servers, modfiy GAL's, set up POP connectors and recover
mailboxes) but, I just need something to help troubleshoot mail
transactions. I might have a gander at a couple of those books though.
Im really looking for a quick fire guide though.

Yea, I can see how the email I sent would come off as me being
inexprienced. Sorry about that.

I'll have a look at that book though.

 Sorry about that, I obviously underestimated your experience with the product.

 Include this MS Press book in your list of books to check out.
