I don't know about E2K, I have an E5.5 with OWA so I really don't know if they are the same or not. But have you checked to make sure the SSL port is open on your firewall and that everyone has been granted access this computer from the network and log on locally permissions.

You can specify where you want the log files to go by using the Performance Optimizer. But I don't think you can limit the size of the logs.

They have an Exchange 5.5 SP2 server which has run out of space! They originally had a tape drive installed on the server and was using Backup Exec with the Exchange agent. they had circular logging enabled but it wasn't a problem because they were backing up every night a the logs were cleared. Now they recently implemented another server and had ArcServe installed on it. They didn't want to maintain two backup apps so they uninstalled BbackupEXec from the Exchange serve and maintained the ArcServe. The ArcServe doesn't have an Exchange agent installed so there is no current backup of that server except for any files on it. I recommended that they get the ArcServe Exchange Agent. AnyHoo, a couple of months ago they ran out of space and they called me. I found out that it was due to not having a recent backup of Exchange and the logs had taken all available space. At this time, backupexec was still installed so I performed a backup and the space was cleared and the server was able to be started again. Now last week they have come across the same exact issue again and the tape drive has been removed and BackupExec uninstalled. So all I could do was move some of the log files to another server and again recommend that they get the ArcServe Exchange Agent. now, they recently got hit with Goner and there back to the space issue again. They have finally approved the Exchange agent but we are waiting for it to be delivered. So right now, the server is down because Exchange wont start due to lack of drive space. I cannot move the log files anymore because the prior relocation took up the space on another volume.

RE: ever growing log files
Tim, I'm not a Exchange expert, but I don't think those are the transaction log files that are flushed when a backup is done (at least they aren't on my Exchange Server) Those are the MDBData logs and usually start like edb.log and they are always 5,120KB. The log files you are looking at, I think, is caused by someone who has set up message tracking or diagnostic logging. I think you can just delete them, but you better ask Martin, Don, Kevin, or William to be sure. Look around in Exchange Admin to see if you have any type of diagnostics being logged.

We have one Exchange 5.5 server, SP4, running on NT 4 SP6a. Just recently after the removal of one of our servers from the site, the C: drive on our remaining exchange server has started running low on disk space. Looking out there in the exchsrvr\imcdata\log folder, there are about 17 different files named L000, L001, etc. The biggest one is almost 2GB in size and some of the others are over 100MB. Couple of questions. Should these logs be this big? I thought when you do a full backup it was supposed to flush the logs. We use Backup Exec 7.3 and are doing full backups every day. Circular logging is enabled. We have checked these logs for the past 4 days or so and they are growing larger each day. Second, can I just run the optimizer and move these logs to a bigger partition? I suggested doing that, but one of my coworkers says not to touch them. Thanks for your help.

Ideally, I would like to move these and all other logging files to the d: drive and I would like to know, should this be done only when there are no users on the system, will this improve or adversly affect the operation of the exchange server and will Backup Exec have a problem backing up the exchange mailboxes if these files are moved in the middle of the day.

This filled up the c: drive (he had 2000 messages) with loging files in mdbdata and shut down the Exchange services. So I moved the log files to the d: drive temporarily to get exchange running. If I move them back c:\ will fill up again and down the service. Also, How can I find out how big the information store is for a particular user? What a mess! Thanks.

RE: Moving to Antigen
No NAV is actually a little bit better. Don't use it for Exchange. Use Antigen. It's the best. I use NAV CE 7.51 for my servers and workstations. It pushes updates to all users pretty well. I have to keep on top of it though since I also have it at 2 remote offices. Even users who log in over a VPN will be automatically updated. I had NAI before Norton and like Norton much better for desktops.

RE: Great, Powerful Piece by L. Pitts addressed to terrorists Wed Sep 12 08:40:41 2001
Amen... -Original Message- From: Sean Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 9:52 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Great, Powerful Piece by L. Pitts addressed to terrorists Wed Sep 12 08:40:41 2001 They pay me to tease shades of meaning from social and cultural issues, to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American soul. But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving eyes, the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering. You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard. What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, know that you failed. Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned it. Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve. Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together. Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family, a family rent by racial, cultural, political and class division, but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae-a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse. We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though-peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God. Some people-you, perhaps-think that any or all of this makes us weak. You are mistaken. We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals. Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning, and we are in shock. We're still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot from a Tom Clancy novel. Both in terms of the awful scope of its ambition and the probable final death toll, your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of the United States and, indeed, the history of the world. You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before. But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall. This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force. When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice. I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future. In days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can be done to prevent it from happening again. There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined. There is steel beneath this velvet. That aspect of our character is seldom understood by those who don't know us well. On this day, the family's bickering is put on hold. As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will mourn, and as Americans we will rise in defense of all that we cherish. Still, I keep wondering what it was you hoped to teach us. It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You don't know what we're about. You don't know what you just started. But you're about to learn. List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

RE: Accessing Exchange Server over Internet
Thanks Don, I thought of that, but then I would have to clean up the mess :-) It's very tempting though... I do tell Management ALL the time about the security issues, maybe someday they will get a clue.

RE: Accessing Exchange Server over Internet
I really like working here, it is just frustrating that they don't see reality. So I just tighten what I can, and keep fighting. At least I'm doing my part. However, I still need ideas on the least amount of permissions needed to do this. I WILL just give it to those two people unless I'm told to give it to more.
