Quest Software for Exchange

2008-04-24 Thread JB
All-

I'm looking for anyone who has had experience with the Quest Exchange migration 
tools and to gather their experiences with the tool.

I'm in the planning stages of migrating from one forest to another and I need a 
tool that will keep the co-existence in place until the migration is complete.  
I'm wondering if this tool will provide this functionality and the experiences 
associated with it.

Thank you,

Missing Headers

2008-04-25 Thread JB
All-
I have an issue with this one particular user.  She's emailing a person within 
our company in Hong Kong.  When she sends an email to him and he replies back 
to her...everything seems normal.  But when she tries to reply back, she gets 
a "MS Word Unspecified Error" pop up.  One thing I've noticed is that when the 
guy from Hong Kong replies there are no headers in the message if you 
select View->Options.  It's totally blank.  
If I remove the original message sent out by the lady from the body of the 
message it gets sent back just fine.  So it seems that MS Word Editor is 
choking on something in the originating message.
Now, I've tested a message from the same guy with the header information in the 
message and did a reply and nothing bombed out on me.

Could it be that MS Word Editor is choking on the null header information in 
this message?  This guy is either using MS Mail or Outlook Express and POP'ing 
his mail from his mail server.
Thank you for your help.

I totally understand removing the MS Word Editor.  And in my testing, removing 
the editor makes everything work just fine.  The problem is that this use is a 
VP and she's set in her ways and refuses to give it up.  So I have to find a 
solution that allows her to use the MS Word Editor That's the catch.
Thanks for the response.

Yes, checked there.  Everything is set as the default there.  Just to keep in 
mind, this only happens with one users she emails.  He's located in Hong Kong 
either using MS Mail or Outlook Express is all I have to go on right now.

Anyone virtualized Exchange 2007? I'm getting mixed opinions.. My Dell server 
guys are saying performance would suffer too much.  I also have a local 
integrator who is a VMware and MS Gold Partner and says they virtualize 
everything and that because my information store is only about 25GB for approx 
150 boxes I wouldn't have performance problems.  Thoughts?

Thanks,

Wasn’t it in early MS guidance for 2000 or perhaps it was 2003, that you use 
.local?  The concept of split DNS was relatively new,  if I remember correctly.

Another way might be a 'wildcard certificate'.  One that handles *.domain.com, 
www.domain.com, domain.com, mail.domain.com, etc.  A little more spendy 
though...

Hi chaps,
 
I have an Exchange 2007 server here on which we have setup an SSL certificate 
(in the name of mail.mydomain.com). This works great for users outside using 
Outlook 2007s Outlook Anywhere feature. However, internal users get a warning 
stating that the SSL cert name doesn't match the server. It's not the biggest 
issue, but it's...untidy.
 
What's the best way to handle this? Obviously I can only attach one SSL cert to 
the Default site in IIS on the Exchange box and the internal domain 
(mydomain.local) is sufficiently different from the external one (mydomain.com) 
that we can't get an SSL cert to cover both.
 
Is there a way to create a new IIS site that still points at the same exchange 
folder structure as the current Default Site but that is set to accept a 
different hostname? That way I could have one site for the internal users 
hitting blue-server.mydomain.local and one for the external users hitting 
mail.mydomain.com and attach a correct cert to both.
 
Can this be done ?

Exchange 2003 Recipient Policy Issue

We have a customer that is using E2K3 and I'm looking through their recipient

Re: Exchange 2003 Recipient Policy Issue

2008-05-23 Thread JB
Ok this is what I did... whether it worked or not remains to be seen.
I created a third address and named it something whack.  Set it as the Primary 
address.  Then at this point I two primary addresses and one secondary 
address.  So one of the original two got demoted sort to speak.
Next, I renamed the new one I created to one of the primary addresses and hit 
ok and voila there was one primary and one secondary in the recipient policy 
that was in question.  
Now, I don't know if this solved the problem...but it sure looks right in the 
recipient policy now.

Temporarily create a third one - and make it primary. Save the policy.

Open the policy back up, make the proper one primary and delete the
temporary one.

I've had this happen a few times in the last couple of months, but this time it 
happened to a manager, so I have to look into it.
 
Exchange 2K3, latest SPs and patches
Outlook 2K3, cached mode
 
This manager sent an e-mail back in August of 2005, which was answered way back 
then, etc.  The original message is sitting in her archive folder.
 
This morning, this same message was sent again, without the user sending it, 
just magically going out.  The only way she even knew this is because the 
person on the other end responded to it.
 
I don't know of anything within Exchange that would do this, but I'm hoping 
someone out there does.  The message sent today is in her Sent Items, so 
something happened, but the user had nothing to do with it.
 
Any ideas?  Or are there simply gremlins in my Exchange system, randomly 
resending messages from years ago?

Generally, it's a balancing act of trying to put enough mail transports as

I'd start looking at having a pair of MTA's at each major backbone segment

Even 9646 Question

2008-06-18 Thread JB
All-
On one of my E2K3 mailbox servers I'm getting the Event ID 9646 as descrived in 
this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842022/en-us..  My question is 
this, if I removed the Maximum allowed Mapi connections in the registry, will 
that turn the Mapi connections back to normal and not put a ceiling on these 
types of connections?  
It describes in the article that installing SP1 put this reg key on the server, 
but I'd think with SP2 that it would remove this key since you install SP2 that 
it doesn't put a hard cap on the MAPI connections.

Has anyone had to deal with this "feature"?

NTBackup Issue-Exchange 2003

2008-03-18 Thread JB
All, 

I'm having a weird issue with a customer of ours. They are using NTBackup run 
backups on a public folder server of theirs. The catch is that the OS is a W2K 
server with E2K3 installed on it. Here is the error we are constantly seeing 
when the backup attempts to kick off. 

Event Type: Error 
Event Source: NTBackup 
Event Category: None 
Event ID: 8012 
Date: 3/18/2008 
Time: 10:00:01 AM 
User: N/A 
Computer: SERVERNAME 
Description: 
The 'ESE API' returned 'Callback 
' from a call to 'HrESEBackupRestoreNodes()' additional data 'SERVERNAME' 

Now I've researched this issue and have came across an article that pertains to 
Exchange 2000 and they say that the error is irrelevant and give no further 
explaination as to why it's irrelevant. Now how am I to ensure that the backups 
are working properly? 

Thank you,

I am using DoubleTake and although I have not had to fail over, it works very well.  I replicate to an off-site server.
 
Feel free to contact off list if you have any questions.

Thanks, all.  It looks like Double-Take is the way to go.

I have not tried 2007 SCR as yet, but have read a lot on it. SCR looks good, but do you really want to be doing stuff in command line when the boss is standing over you wondering when email is going to be back on line? The thing is, if you go to 2007 then you need to pitch your servers for 64 bit, and get the appropriate OS as well.

 

If you are just wanting to get your existing data to an existing standby box, then Double Take is the way to go. The software will configure your target server so that all of the appropriate services are set to manual and stopped. When you failover it will update AD, and add the SPN for the source server to the target server, plus make any required changes in DNS. Users only have to restart Outlook if they were signed in at the time of the failover. And it can be controlled with one mouse click as opposed to having to type correctly when the poo hits the fan.

DoubleTake (as someone else mentioned) and NeverFail are the typical recommended solutions.
 
MessageOne is a typical 3rd party provider providing message continuity.
 
However, I would recommend you upgrade to Exchange 2007 and use LCR or SCR; which are built into the product.
 
If you really actually want to do active/passive Exchange clustering, search on technet.microsoft.com for SCC – Single Copy Clustering.

Hello all…
 
I want to have a stand-by Exchange box that can act as a fail-over in the event I lose my active Exchange server.  I understand that this can be accomplished by clustering.  Google has a zillion links about Windows/Exchange clustering so I was hoping the experts here could recommend a link where it would be a good place to start learning how to do this.
 
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Environment is W2K3 Servers and Exchange 2003, clients are a mixture of O2K3 and O2K7…all fully patched.

Outlook 2003 Issue

2008-04-21 Thread JB
All-

I'm having an issue with a particular user.  When she tries to respond to a 
message from a certain user in Hong Kong she gets the error message 
"Unspecified Error".  I know she's using Microsoft Word Editor for her editing 
purposes.  Could this be causing a problem?  

I'm not a fan of the Word Editor, just wondering if anyone has seen this type 
of behavior and what did you do to remedy the problem?

Thank you,
