Has anyone had any experience with this product.

RE: How can I regain Disk Space
I have very limited storage space on my Small Business Server 4.5, Exchange 5.5. Just a 9 gig drive for the whole company to run on! So, space is always an issue. When I run eseutil I actually have to redirect the temp file to another network drive to have space for the utility to run.

RE: How can I regain Disk Space
Do you have your exchange server set to retain deleted items for a certain amount of days so they can be undeleted? And did your users empty the deleted items and sent items folders? Sent items is a huge chunk of space if it's not cleaned out! I don't believe I've ever seen a huge amount of space reported after online defrag, but after a good clean up and running eseutil I can often recover 600 or 700 mb of free space. I vote to run the eseutil anyway.. I'll go down 3 flights of stairs and check to see how much white space my server is reporting today..because I know that there's hundreds of megs of space if I run eseutil right now. But, that's just personal experience with my own server. -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 10:41 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: How can I regain Disk Space You have 4 megabytes of whitespace.

I am running Exchange 5.5, and I am running dangerously low on disk space on the Exchange Server. I had everyone in our organization clean out their Inbox, Sent Items, and Deleted Items yesterday. When I looked at the disk space today, it was actually lower than yesterday. I do not understand this. If the mailboxes are getting smaller, why is the database not shrinking? Is there any other way to regain disk space? I preformed a full backup of the Information Store

(by recently I mean the past couple of days.) I am going to continue doing the Full backups every day. I had turned off all logging a long time ago, so I don't have any logs per say taking up disk space. When I looked at the Event Log, Event ID 1221 said that there was only 4MB of white space. I cant understand this, because I know for a fact that a few people that had over 100 Megs each of resources being used, and completely wiped out their systems early yesterday. And you are absolutely right, being a Health Care Facility, we are on a very tight budget. put it this way, I am the only person they have to run 450 Workstations with 600 users. No techs, no Exchange people, just me, and I have been learning Exchange as I have had time to. We currently have a Budget freeze, although I am trying to threaten them that all Email will be down if they don't allow me to purchase new Drives. I set up the IS to purge all Deleted items every 5 days, because people were using this as an archive. And I told everyone to purge their Sent Items. Thanks again for all the advice.

I setup 5 macs on my network to use the server and it was working fine for a day and a half, but now when they go to open outlook 8.2 on their Mac, it asks for the login info, but then errors out saying they have network issues and to talk to your administrator. I am at a lost, as I am not a Mac expert. The macs are able to access network resources as well as the internet. Any ideas?

RE: Exchange 5.5 troubles with Mac's
I'll check, but I do believe the AppleTalk service is running. -Original Message- From: Dennis Atherton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 12:16 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 troubles with Mac's We have 130 MACs (and 280 PCs) running against our Exchange Server - and dialing in and connecting with no problem. Brent was right - AppleTalk and Services for Mac need to be running. Even though they both talk TCP/IP, Apples need to initially talk AppleTalk to make the first identity connection, and then they transfer info TCP/IP. Dialing in using a Shiva - Works OK. Connecting over Internet using NT4 and WIN2K RAS servers VPN - Apples need to use a tunnelbuilder client, and have full connectivity.

RE: Mass printing e-mails
Title: Message Last summer I had a similar situation with a high level employee who left and wished to take a printed copy of her saved email with her.. 2500 pages. Do them in groups.. in case the print job crashes like ours did a few times. It will make it much easier to find out where you have to go do reprints. -Original Message-From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 11:36 AMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: RE: Mass printing e-mails Import them into OL.

One of my bosses asked for a stupid request : print (almost) all the emails of our ex-president. They are taking him to court!!! Nice touch! So... Is there a way to print more then one email at the timewhile also printingthe associated attachments? Because,if I have to print all those emails, I willstill be here nextyear printing...Our ex-prez used Outlook Express. I have all the emails in front of me in OExpress. I've printed some of them, but I can't seem to print more then one at a time. By the way, selecting more then one email and trying to print them all at once doesn't work. Any idea???
