I have an Exchange 5.5 (sp4) server running on Win2k (SP2). I have built a recovery server using same OS and SP levels. I created a new site using exact same Org and Site names on my recovery server. I restored the IS from my production server from tape to the recovery server, ran isinteg -patch and ran the DSIS consistency checker per the MS whitepapers. The problem is, none of my mailboxes show up in the Recipients container. I can see them listed under Private Information Store - Mailbox Resources, but I cannot view their properties from there. I get the error message "The object cannot be found in the directory, this may be because replication has not completed" when I try to see their properties.

RE: I got a tough one
You may have a problem with Directory Replication. Check the following: LMHOSTS/HOST file on each machine involved. Make sure any information contained therein is correct. In the Missoula site, go to the server where the Directory Replication connector resides, go to the Seattle connector and request a full reload of the directory information from Seattle. Yes you know that it will take hours to process. If this does not clear the problem, you may end up having to break the DR connector between your site and Seattle. If this doesn't solve the problem, you may have a problem with your local DIR.EDB file and need to call PSS for assistance.

RE: Running a file level scanner on exchange dirs???
PLEASE READ THE FAQ!! Do not, REPEAT Do NOT, run a file level scanner on your Exchange server. You will F*SCK up many files that are necessary for Exchange to operate correctly. USE ONLY AN EXCHANGE AWARE SCANNER like TREND MICRO's SCAN MAIL. If you (or your pointed headed boss) insist on running a file level scanner on an Exchange server, EXCLUDE any and all directories that are named EXCHSRVR and all the subdirectories. This will minimize that you will F*SCK up important Exchange files.

RE: Bulk hiding GAL entries?
If you export using only the CR object checkbox, you will get all but one
column you need to do the import. Add the MODE column, and specify MODIFY.
Change the HIDE FROM AB from blank or zero to "1".

Does anyone know of a way of bulk hiding Custom Recipients from the GAL?
I've got to hide about 400 contacts from an external company. I've got
them listed in Find Recipients, but I don't much fancy hiding them all
individually. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? Sadly,
company policy dictates that they all get hidden now, then deleted in a
month or so, so the delete key is out of the question :~{
Oh yeah, Ex55 SP4, NT4 SP6

RE: Bulk hiding GAL entries?
True, one may not NEED the MODE column in this situation, but since the
files are reusable, it might be nice to have it for future use.
As for the others fields, he may need them in this situation. The original
question does not state that all the CR's are in the same container, so he
will need container information in order to do the hide, should they be
spread about in differing containers. And using the NOTE field, he can put
in a little notice to delete the bleeding things in about a month or so.
It is the simplest way of getting the job done. He DID say that his boss
wanted it done ASAP; today; right now; "why didn't you think of my need and
have it completed before I requested it."

Crap. You don't need MODE. The mode is, by default, an update
operation unless you specify otherwise.
Also, if you pre-create your CSV file with the fields mentioned below,
then use the CR object checkbox, you won't get loads of unnecessary
fields. The distingushing field you need is Directory Name. The rest
are useless!

If you have the entire Exmerge package, there is a 60 page MS-Word doc that covers all the options available in Exmerge. You should be able to specify only messages with the SCR file attachment. The document is very detailed and if you can't do it in the GUI itself, you should be able to specify the conditions you want in the various INI files that go along with it.

These clients mainly got infected because they didn't have the latest virus definitions because the virus came out before the definitions were updated. Anyway, the clients who didn't have the updated virus definitions were updated and a full scan was performed. On each of these clients, I noticed it only caught one instance of the Goner virus which it found in the administrator mailbox. It deleted the attachment but I noticed there was more than one infected message in that mailbox that it didn't touch; there were also dozens of other mailboxes with infected messages that it didn't catch or touch as well. Anyway, my idea was to use Exmerge to extract all messages with Hi in the subject and with an attachment of gone.scr. I ran Exmerge and it did remove the messages but I noticed some of the PST's that it created were extremely large. those large PST's were opened in Outlook and messages that I didn't want extracted had been extracted. All the uninfected items that I didn't want extracted had some form of word hi in the subject (eq: China). I had to manually delete the infected messages and move the uninfected messages back into each individual mailbox. I also changed the criteria for Exmerge to only pull messages with attachments of gone.scr and no subject and it seems like the same thing happened. Is there a way to have Exmerge only move messages of an exact subject that I define. Also, can Exmerge move items from public Folders? I noticed certain public folder have the infected item within them and I would like to have them removed as well. Any help would be appreciated. TIA!!!

If you have the entire Exmerge package, there is a 60

covers all the options available in Exmerge.
You should be able to specify only messages with the SCR

The document is very detailed and if you can't do it in
the GUI itself, you
should be able to specify the conditions you want in the
various INI files
that go along with it.

Subject: Exmerge Question
Hello All,
I have a couple of clients who are using InoculateIT
(aka EjaculateIT) &
the Exchange Agent and they got infected with the Goner
virus last week.
These clients mainly got infected because they didn't
have the latest
virus definitions because the virus came out before the
definitions were
updated. Anyway, the clients who didn't have the updated
virus
definitions were updated and a full scan was performed.
On each of these
clients, I noticed it only caught one instance of the
Goner virus which
it found in the administrator mailbox. It deleted the
attachment but I
noticed there was more than one infected message in that
mailbox that it
didn't touch; there were also dozens of other mailboxes
with infected
messages that it didn't catch or touch as well. Anyway,
my idea was to
use Exmerge to extract all messages with Hi in the
subject and with an
attachment of gone.scr. I ran Exmerge and it did remove
the messages but
I noticed some of the PST's that it created were
extremely large. those
large PST's were opened in Outlook and messages that I
didn't want
extracted had been extracted. All the uninfected items
that I didn't
want extracted had some form of word hi in the subject
(eq: China). I
had to manually delete the infected messages and move
the uninfected
messages back into each individual mailbox. I also
changed the criteria
for Exmerge to only pull messages with attachments of
gone.scr and no
subject and it seems like the same thing happened. Is
there a way to
have Exmerge only move messages of an exact subject that
I define. Also,
can Exmerge move items from public Folders? I noticed
certain public
folder have the infected item within them and I would
like to have them
removed as well. Any help would be appreciated. TIA!!!

RE: Information Store Limit
Title: Message Depending on how far back this stuff goes, you can look into a message archiving system, this pulls mail that meet certain criteria (age, size, whatever) off to tape and leaves you with a link to the data inside the message. When you need the message back, you click on the message, wait for the tape to access the data and it gets restored automagically. As for upgrading to Enterprise, that would be a solution as well. Management needs to make some decisions. Personally, if these JPG files are in "active" messages (the business client is current), then I would kick management to get the upgrade to Enterprise and look at getting some additional hardware to support the growing mail store.

Interesting UDP port problem - Resolved
Good afternoon to you all: We just went through a very interesting evolution regarding our Exchange server (NT4.0 SP6, Exchange 5.5 latest SP and patches). Our firewall admin was seeing UDP packets, bound for various port numbers, attempting to depart for the Internet. These packets were dropped, but logged. These various IP addresses were mostly AT&T dial-up accounts, or cable modem accounts coming in through our VPN service to the Exchange box. It seems that the Outlook client connects via both the native IP address on the client end, as well as the IP address assigned by the VPN. UDP packets bound for the VPN addresses are processed normally by the client. Exchange also generates UDP packets with the destination IP of the client's native IP address. These are the packets that the admin was seeing self-destructing on the firewall. This seems to be SOP for Exchange. I don't know how useful this information is, but it is interesting. Have fun you all.

RE: single instance storage retention on mailbox move
Depends on how you move the mail box. If you use "MOVE MAILBOX" in Exchange admin, then I believe that you do retain SIS, but you lose any mail that was in the user's "Deleted Items Retention" area of the Information Store.

SNMP on an Exchange server.
Good afternoon to you all: I am in the process of building a MIB file for Exchange based on the PerfMon MIB from Microsoft.

RE: SNMP on an Exchange server.
It's not that I didn't believe you, I just posted the question to several lists at one time. The question still remains, does the MIB have to be modified for each individual server or can a generic (Exchange specific) MIB be created and installed without futzing the SNMP service. Logic tells me that I can use the generic Exchange MIB on all Exchange servers regardless of configuration, however I'd like to confirm this one way or the other prior to doing something that may cause smoke to escape the components.

Before you remove it, you need to make sure that there are no connectors on it, no public folder homed on it, no mailboxes, etc. Given that those have already been acomplished, you need to shut down Exchange services on the server to be deleted, then delete it with the Exchange admin program, connected to a different server.

RE: service packs and directory replication
I believe the statement that you may have heard is that in a site with multiple servers, the bridgehead server should be the first one updated. With earlier service packs for Exchange 5.5, if you didn't update the bridgehead first, replication between the updated site and other sites would stop, only because replication between servers inside the site got fouled. IMHO, it is still good practice to update the bridgehead server first in any case, since if it goes belly up, the users won't notice immediately.

This is from Sue Mosher - Outlook MVP: MANAGING EXTRA MAILBOXES IN EXCHANGE From time to time, I want to highlight solutions developers who really seem to understand what people want from Outlook. One such developer is Victor Ivanidze, whom I met while I was living in Moscow and whose web site at http://victori.hypermart.net/ features COM add-ins for Outlook 2000 and 2002, sample forms to add header fields to Internet messages, and various other tips. Lately, Victor has focused on one of the stickier issues in Outlook in an Exchange environment -- working with a secondary mailbox. As you probably know, with proper permissions, you can open another mailbox and see all its folders, respond to messages in its Inbox, etc. A typical example is a Support mailbox that help desk staffers access in addition to their own mailboxes. The hard part comes when you want to ensure that messages sent from the other mailbox have the right From address and are stored in the other mailbox's Sent Items folder. I wrote an article a few years ago (http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=4855) on various ways to meet those goals and concluded that it was easier to abandon the shared group mailbox approach and use a public folder instead. Victor has breathed new life into the group mailbox approach, however, by offering two COM add-ins that together make it possible to handle a secondary mailbox's messages seamlessly. RightFrom is a utility that automatically fills in the correct From address when you reply to or forward a message in the other mailbox. The second utility, UniSent, ensures that those replies and forwards are stored in the Sent Items folder of the other mailbox, not in your own mailbox. It also puts items that you delete from the group mailbox into the group mailbox's Deleted Items folder. Remember that, if you're implementing a group mailbox, there are two different ways to set permissions to allow other users to send on behalf of the mailbox. If the Exchange administrator grants Send on Behalf Of permission to the Support mailbox, outgoing messages will show both the actual sender and the Support mailbox. If you want to hide the actual sender's name and address, you need to grant Send As permission to the user's Windows account. -Original Message- From: MLewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 7:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email Template You're running the same setup I have running here. We don't have a "helpdesk" per se, so we created a Helpdesk mailbox that users submit their requests to either by email or task request. With that, everyone in IT needs access to this mailbox, so in Exchange, go to the mailbox permissions tab for the helpdesk account you want those users to share, give those users permission to that mail account. If the permissions tab isn't viewable in Exchange, go into Tools, Options, Permissions and check the box next to 'show permission page for all objects' -- this is assuming you're running Exchange 5.0 and up. After permissions have been set, tell the users to go to their Outlook program, choose Tools, Go into the properties for their MS Exchange Server Account, go to the Advanced tab, and under 'Open these additional mailboxes' add the shared user account, and it will open an additional set of mailbox folders for this shared account, which is separate from their main Exchange account.

When any of these users send out mail from support (tests currently), the messages seem to have the "on behalf of" in the from field. Don't know how to get rid of this, I set all the specific users up with "Send As" permission in the permissions tab. 2. I removed one of the users from the permissions tab, but that user can still access the support mailbox. Any help will be appreciated.

RE: Recover deleted items (formerly Outlook something or other)
However, you have to have Deleted Items Retention enabled in the public/private information store for this to work.

Question: Since Exchange keeps messages after deleting them, BUT marks them for deletion and hides them, can you turn DumpsterAlwaysOn after the fact (say a user has hard deleted a ton mail accidentally), and recover after you turn this option on for the client? In other words, can a client access deleted items that are marked as such, and hidden if the reg entry is done after the hard delete?

Yes, it does. Move the PF up to your FAVORITES folder in the Outlook client, and it will show you how many messages you haven't read.

RE: Keep copies of all email
That is the ARCHIVE directories in the IMCDATA tree. You have one for INbound traffic and one for OUTbound traffic. However, this only covers the IMC and does nothing for X.400 connector, internal deliveries (inside the same site or server) or the X.25 connector.
