Automated Replies

2001-12-07 Thread Duncan Arnold



Hi 
All,

Does anyone know how 
Exchange 5.5 determines whether or not it has already sent an automated response 
to a user?? We want to add automated response on an address but want the 
automated response to be sent back every time not just once. Is there a 
list we can clear down manually or does Exchange determine if it has already 
responded by checking the transaction log files?

Any help 
appreciated.

Thanks

Duncan

RE: What tools are good to measure bandwidth across a internet ro uter

2001-11-29 Thread Duncan Arnold

Hi Ellery,

I have just implemented MRTG in conjunction with active perl.  I am not
convinced that the stats are 100% accurate but they are pretty damn close
and give you a good idea of what is going on for both inbound and outbound
traffic.

Take a look at the following link -

http://mrtg.hdl.com/nt-guide.html

It uses SNMP to connect out to your routers and I believe that there are
some addons that will allow you to graph protocol usage as well such as
SMTP, HTTP, I will be looking at this later today myself, I'll mail you
offline if I come accross anything interesting.

Thanks for all of your input to the list, nice to be able to offer something
back ;-)

Duncan

RE: Reclaiming Disk Space

2001-09-07 Thread Duncan Arnold



The IS 
is 6.2Gb.

Exchange services are stopped every night and a full offline backup is 
taken with Arcserve.

Circular logging is on.

Thanks

  IssuesSubject: Reclaiming 
  Disk Space
  
  Hi,
  
  I have 
  Exchange 5.5 installed on a Dell poweredge 2300, The server has 2 x 9Gb 
  drives mirrored with two partitions 2Gb and 6.45Gb. Exchange is 
  installed to the first partition and the mailboxes reside on the second 
  partition.
  
  Ok, the 
  server is continually running out of disk space, so everything shuts down, if 
  I look at the mailbox resources in the Admin tool it reports that the internet 
  mail service mailbox is just short of 1Gb, how do you view, clear this 
  down? 
  
  Also I 
  believe that the whitespace can be cleared down from the database but requires 
  110% of the database size, can I install Exchange to another server with bags 
  of disk space, recover whitespace and move databases back to the original 
  server? (and no I can't move Exchange to the other server 
  permanently!!)
  
  
  Thanks

RE: Reclaiming Disk Space

2001-09-07 Thread Duncan Arnold



I 
cwould buy more disksif this was an option,we like several other companies 
are on a total spend freeze. The mail server was going to be replaced this 
financial year but again the spend freeze has put a stop to it. I need to 
buy us 6 months or so until hopefully we can either throw some disks at it or 
replace it completely. 

Does 
anyone know how to get at the IMS mailbox? Its nearly 1gb, that would 
probably see us through the next 6 months or so.

Thanks

6.2GB store on a 
6.45GB partition!?
You have to limit 
mailbox sizes or put more HDD's.
That is to 
low.

Save even more money and grief - leave the agent out of it and use NTBackup

If the IS is 6.2 GB you need to add HD space. A couple 9 or 18 gig drives
BE
withe xchange agent and you would not need to do an offline backup and lots
of other potential problems would go away. What you are proposing is only a
temp solution.  Spend a few hundred and save yourself  or the next admin
some future grief.
