Subject: Removing ADC from E2k3 org

All,

I'm trying to follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272314/es to
remove the ADC, and am not getting exactly the results I'd like to
see.

Step 5 says:
Under System Folders, click to expand Offline Address Book to select
the Offline Address Book (OAB). The OAB should be of the form
 EX:/O=ORG/OU=Site
Right click the folder and click Properties, then click the Replication tab.


When I right-click for properties, I get a popup that says:

--Begin popup text--
The mail proxy for this folder cannot be found. This may be due to
replication delays. The mail enabled pages will not be shown.

ID no: 1038a21
Exchange System Manager
---End popup text--

I've found this article, which seems to address my situation:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328740

My question is: Has anyone here done this, and what might be the
gotchas in doing either of the procedures outlined?

I'm guessing that the first procedure is the one that applies to my
situation, because I've recently decommissioned my last Ex5.5 server,
but have not yet removed the ADC.

This article makes me a bit nervous, though, so I'm looking for a bit
of guidance before I step off the cliff.

Kurt

and work, once you tie in the full suite from Vmware including virtual centre

 The Kool-Aid is good, get on board, it costs less, well in this case
 it does.

The Kool-aid lacks live VM migration in v1.0 which makes it a non-starter
for many at this point.

I will say one thing, the VM management interface team has gone above and

RE: Update: Exchange on VM

2008-06-27 Thread Kevin Miller
I am putting up a five node cluster and migrating 30 production servers to 
Hyper-v this weekend for a banking /insurance company that I work for. I am all 
for doing Hyper-v in production. Hyper-v is not a built from the ground up 
product it is built on a 5+ year old bit of technology that Microsoft bought 
and has continued to improve on and build on in-house.

I agree with you, Hyper-v does have a limited extended feature set when you 
compare it to VMware; DR [3], VM to hardware and back migration tools, better 
management stuff, and so on. However, It is my feeling [1] that the gap in 
extended features will quickly narrow. Like RDP and Citrix(ICA), the products 
will have a similar core feature set and VMware will hang on with the very cool 
Extra features that some people cannot live without. I remember something from 
working at Microsoft that they aim for 80-85% of the features that everyone 
needs or something when they come out with a product like Hyper-V, and leave 
the rest to other vendors.


[1] I might be able to back this up but I will never say [2]
[2] bloody NDA's
[3] For offsite redundancy I have a FIOS Line (200$ for 15MB) to another site 
that snaps and trickle backups all of my images with DPM [4].
[4] Microsoft seems to toss DPM when you buy lots of stuff or an SA agreement

However, Microsoft doesn't have DR and HA tools that Vmware has, so they're

This discussion occurred recently on a private message board for MVPs and 
Exchange product group personnel. We were told by an Exchange escalation 
engineer that best effort is the policy and will continue to be the policy. 
In an earlier discussion last month, the Exchange escalation manager asked the 
MVPs if we could identify a specific incident where support had been refused 
(given the published caveats), and if it happened, he wanted to know about it.

Now, in regards to your TAM and your account rep: their response doesn't fit 
the official party line.

I don't think I can say more without breaking NDA.

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out over time.
Microsoft is going to take a lot of heat of the say We support our virtual

possibly other issues.

I have solved the issue and thought I would reply back with the solution if 
anyone was curious.  I got this solution directly from Microsoft.

In adsiedit under :  Configuration - Services - Microsoft Exchange - 
organization name - Administrative Groups - Exchange Administrative Group - 
Servers - Servername - Protocols - SMTP Receive Connectors - Client 
servername

Right click and click properties, click the security tab and grant the

Subject: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender

Hi,

I have several users that are getting this error when sending using our 
exchange 2007 server in outlook, thunderbird Eudora, windows mail etc.  Ive 
done a lot of research on this and got the subject of this message from the 
receive logs on the server

550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender

I see that a lot of sites have postings that suggest that the users do not have 
the ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Authoritative-Domain-Sender  I also see that various 
postings have various different methods of granting the said permission so my 
questions are these


1)  Does that make sense that adding that permission is what needs to be 
done?  I don't feel so comfortable about running permission altering things 
when I don't fully understand the repercussions.

2)  What is the proper way to grant this permission, I see one posting that 
has a syntax granting it to a particular user (-user 'domain\username') and 
another one that uses -user AU (which I have no idea what AU stands for, but 
implies that it grants it to everyone).

Has anyone run into this and have a suggestion?  Its worth noting that there 
are several accounts also that have no problem sending and seem to work fine.  
Also I am talking specifically about users using IMAP/SMTP and not MAPI.

Thanks!

RE: Strange pair of events twice daily

2008-06-04 Thread Kevin Miller
I was, at one time, part of the team that wrote those errors [1]. The ones that 
I dealt with for E2K7 made sense to when I reviewed or wrote them, or when I 
wrote the articles that described how to fix them. The error has to be as small 
and informative as possible, and work from more than one point of view, and be 
localizable. They are getting better, but there is always room for improvement.

To be better heard remember that for any topic or error that you can rate or 
comment on in the help on MSDN or on Technet comment it with your feedback. 
That feedback is automatically entered in to the bug tracking software at 
Microsoft and assigned to the person responsible for the document or area of 
the code base. If possible the documents are changed, if not the feedback is 
applied to future work. If you are really bold leave your email address in the 
comment and ask for a response. I made a point of always responding to those 
that gave me feedback, most others on the Exchange team are the same way.

[1] I had a brilliant editor on my team who made sure that it sounded good when 
I was done with it.

Inside track? HAH. :)

I just complain vociferously and often enough that I get responses - sometimes.

Error messages are improving, but it's a slow process. They have come a LONG 
way from Exchange 5.x, when all you got was the MAPI error. All the new 
.Net-based code in Exchange 2007 has significantly improved error messages - in 
fact, sometimes you wish the product would just SHUT UP. But having too much is 
generally preferable to having too little, that's for certain.

It sounds weird, but good error messages cause code bloat. The more localized 
text you have in a program, the bigger the program is, the more memory it 
takes, the longer reporting an error takes, the more code paths that have to be 
executed to check for errors, etc. etc. etc. It's a line that has to be tread 
carefully.

As systems grow more capable, there are more/better errors.

RE: Exchange Failover Product..

2008-05-13 Thread Kevin Miller
I've been anti-cluster for a very long time. the only good cluster is a single 
node -Ed | I have always agreed with him

Lately I have been building Clusters and putting VM's on them; I am starting to 
feel that that is the best way to do it. Your Cluster becomes a hardware pool 
with redundancy that you can place virtual machines on. You can optimize the 
hardware pool resource allocation to the virtuals on the fly; adding and 
removing ram and what not as needed. It makes it very simple to add more 
hardware to your servers, you just add another cluster node  and move the VM to 
the new hardware, takes minutes in the users eyes. No need to migrate or fiddle 
with server names and IP address and crap like we have to do on dedicated 
hardware.

 ~2000$ for an 8 proc server with 16GB or ram, and ~2000$ for Windows server 
2008 enterprise ( comes with 4 VM server cals, for 6k you can run datacenter 
and have unlimited VM's) to add a node that can support 1-10+ VM's depending on 
what you need. Well you have to storage in there. I just build a 4TB NAS 
running open filer ( 8 x 1tb drives in raid 0+1 for I/O) for like 3500$ or 
something.

 I am starting to like clusters, just not clusters but I still don't like 
clustered Exchange

Clusters allow a well-managed server farm to go from 99.9% availability to 
99.99% availability.

Emphasis on well-managed.

Those are, quite frankly, few and far between. In most shops that I've seen, 
clusters actually reduce availability.

These days, you can install Exchange, configure it a little bit, set up your 
backups, and it'll just hum along for you for months and months without 
requiring you to touch it. Run a patch install at 3am on Sunday morning once a 
month, and you're done.

If you buy good hardware for the server - you'll probably not have to touch it 
except when a disk needs replacing. And of course, you have SMART/SCSI 
monitoring, so you know when that happens, you pick up a phone and order a 
disk, it's hot-swappable and auto-rebuild. Or you have it in inventory because 
e-mail is a critical service. You're done.

No frickin' way you get off that easy with a cluster. It requires a LOT more 
care and feeding. In certain (very rare) circumstances, I can believe that that 
expert care and feeding is worth 0.09% increased availability. But honestly, I 
don't think I've EVER seen one.

Yes, it was in the early guidance. The VERY earliest guidance was .int  - and 
then that was an oops moment, because that's actually a legal TLD. Then about 
Win2K release, the guidance was .local, but basically anything that wasn't a 
TLD; then IANA went and authorized 16 (or so, I don't remember) new TLDs...

Then the guidance became - register the domain. Been that way since before 2003

Hi chaps,



I have an Exchange 2007 server here on which we have setup an SSL certificate 
(in the name of mail.mydomain.comhttp://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.comhttp://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.comhttp://mail.mydomain.com/ and attach a correct cert to both.



Can this be done ?

They will answer your call, and they will help you. [1] It is up to them at 
which time they say  we cannot support your setup, you need to install this on 
supported hardware before we can go further I have yet to hear Microsoft say 
that on a call that I have made to PSS. It is a gamble. In some environments 
you cannot do that, in others you can. It is up to company to decide to roll 
those dice based on their needs and perceived benefits from the unsupported 
configuration.

unsupported means not tested, or that will not work. It is up the support

We, today, had PSS tell us that on an OCS install - and we admitted the install 
was a proof of concept, not production.  I do not believe for an instant that 
the problem we were having related to using VMWare.

that on a call that I have made to PSS. It is a gamble. In some environments 
you cannot do that, in others you can. It is up to company to decide to roll 
those dice based on their needs and perceived benefits from the unsupported

unsupported means not tested, or that will not work. It is up the support

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

Subject: Email Certificates

I need help correcting filling in/correcting holes in my understanding of email 
certificates and how they work.

I purchase a well known cert for my domain so that I can send encrypted email 
over the public domain.

Because I laid out the money for this well known cert, I don't have to exchange 
certificates with folks outside my domain in order for them to read my 
encrypted email, right?

In Outlook, there is a checkbox to encrypt outgoing email.  Is there a way on 
the org. level to say all mail sent to anyone @thisorg.comhttp://thisorg.com  
outside my domain should always be encrypted?

Because I paid the big bucks, can we just set it on the domain level to encrypt 
ALL outgoing email?

Will this well known cert allow my BB users to send encrypted email to folks 
not in my org?

TIA,  I really appreciate those of you who are able/willing to educate the 
poorly informed.

Under the SMTP Virtual server setting, the limits are not checked at all, so I

I agree, Windows Mobile will get you there, and fast, but it's a little 
cumbersome and feature-less.  Read some of my posts in the archives about 
Windows Mobile in a thread titled SmartPhones...To sum it up, if you go 
Windows Mobile, look for devices that are version 6.1

I would recommend BB or a product called Good Messaging (Runs on most all phone 
platforms).  Both are set and forget.

Both also have hosted services, if you don't feel like running another server.  
But, like John said, the hardware requirements are minimal.

FYI, the costs for the license and support of Good Messaging for our business 
is a couple bucks a month per cell phone line.

If you want the least headaches possible, then run Windows Mobile with 
ActiveSync, which should work fine with Exchange 2003. Blackberry does, in

Hi,

 We currently have a SBS 2003 server running Exchange
2003. We are planning to migrate to Exchange 2007,
however, I don't have a timeline for that migration
yet.

 In the meantime, I've been asked about phones and the
costs for making them to work with our current
Exchange server.

 My assumption is that Blackberries require a
Blackberry server and apart of the cost, could be a
headache.

 My guess is that Windows CE is probably better suited
to work together with Exchange. Do We need something
special to make it to run?

 Any other recommendations? I want as less headaches
as possible :)

 Thanks,

 Miguel

I agree, Windows Mobile will get you there, and fast, but it's a little 
cumbersome and feature-less.  Read some of my posts in the archives about 
Windows Mobile in a thread titled SmartPhones...To sum it up, if you go 
Windows Mobile, look for devices that are version 6.1

I would recommend BB or a product called Good Messaging (Runs on most all phone 
platforms).  Both are set and forget.

Both also have hosted services, if you don't feel like running another server.  
But, like John said, the hardware requirements are minimal.

FYI, the costs for the license and support of Good Messaging for our business 
is a couple bucks a month per cell phone line.

 So they want an internal only email system, except for a few people? And or a

You can turn on off all SMTP email for X users if you want. Do your ducks also

I have moved a couple hundred mailboxes from one Exchange server to another in

about 120 gig of mailboxes to the other server but I do not see that space 
coming back on the first server. I do run the online maintenance of the 
databases that is built inside of the system manager. I also get emails nightly 
on what was done. Below is one that I got last night. I was under the 
impression that Exchange would clean itself up after the moves and allow the 
database to shrink after it ran the maintenance.

Do I have something set wrong or is my thinking wrong. If my thinking is wrong 
do I need to do an offline defrag to get the space back?

 Subject: Exchange Management Shell killed the CDO star

 Currently where I work we are using Exchange 2003.  I have written some
 VB code that uses CDO and CDOEXM to create mailboxes for new users.
 Another process creates new accounts in active directory, and my code
 goes through all the accounts, sees what department they are in, goes to
 a lookup table to figure out if the department they are in gets
 mailboxes on our servers (some departments have their own servers so we
 leave them alone).



 Now I go to the Microsoft Upgrading skills from Exchange 2003 to 2007
 class and I am introduced to the horror of the exchange management
 shell.  I want to keep using CDO!!!  But from what I was told, CDO will
 not work fully with Exchange 2007, especially since the RUS is gone.
 CDO, from my little experience with it so far, isn't a robust language
 to program with.  It's more of a scripting system.



 Am I the only one who isn't happy with the management shell?

Security it like cloths. Some people think that dresses should be at the 
ankles, the knees, or just below the panty line. All lengths work to cover up a 
minimum required amount of skin, and you will get plenty of people who argue 
the benefits of each length, and claim that another length is nuts.

Personally I am happy with SSL for OWA, and Windows Mobile and feel that is 
more than enough. I am sure that others would tell me that I need a windows

take it another step further and tell me that I need smart card authentication

1)   yes, and notes as well as GAL lookup.  WM generally yes but
can't say about tasks or notes and I personally prefer the BB's GAL
lookup - with a large GAL like ours, this is important.

2)   Generally yes, but to be fair, MS office docs MAY be more
compatible on the WM devices just due to the same vendor.

3)   Security - BES has server initiated outbound connection - WM
requires exposing your Exchange environment at least partially to the
internet.  BB intranet web site access via BES without allowing direct
internet access is included.

I definitely will.  So, as I understand it, the recommended devices are:



WM - Treo 700wx

BB - Curve (if available), and 8830 if the Curve is not available.



I've spoken with my manager, and she agrees with me that we should pursue 
getting one of each device, for me to trial, so I may end up walking around 
with 3 phones on my belt soon...lol.

Subject: Exchange 5.5 to 2000 Upgrade horror story


This is just an informational post, you're welcome to comment on it but
I'm not really asking any questions.  Just thought folks out there
getting ready to upgrade might want to hear the story.  I just spent the
night upgrading (or trying to upgrade) my exchange 5.5 server.

We have a very simple network.  1 domain.   200 users.  1 exchange
server.
2 domain controllers (not the exchange server).


Started about 2 weeks ago prepping for upgrade.  Armed with:
  White Paper  in-place upgrade from msoft exchange 5.5 to msoft
exchange 2000 
  Q316886  How To:  Migrate from exchange server 5.5 to exchange 2000
server
  Q282309  upgrading exchange server 5.5 service pack 4 to exchange
2000 server
  Q295922  considerations when you upgrade to exchange 2000 server
  Q296260  how to configure a two-way recipient connection agreement
for exchange server 5.5 users
  Q253829  description of the active directory connector deletion
mechanism

And, of course, monitored this list (and the sun-exchange) one for
upgrade ideas!


Now some of the documents have conflicting information.  If you weed
thru the dates and such you can usually figure out what is really true.
For example, the white paper states you MUST have at least one domain
running in native mode, but the HOW TO describes a scenario where all
domains are in mixed mode.

  With the domain controllers upgraded to win2k active directory (mixed
mode) last month I tackled the exchange upgrade this month.  Went thru
the white paper and how to, updating the schema  (forestprep and
domainprep) and ran all the tests listed in those docs to verify it was
working.  Got exactly the results they told me!

  First time I ran the actual upgrade got my first rude surprise.  My
vendor had shipped me the Exchange 2000 standard edition media (which
doesn't really say standard on it, just Exchange 2000) and the upgrade
process stopped immediately with You can't go from enterprise to
standard you
idiot   
  Two days later I have the correct media.  Take the server off the
network and run an online backup (Veritas backup exec with exchange
option).  Verify the backup worked.
  With exchange services down get back on the network and run domain
tests again.  Everything ok!
  Run the upgrade!   The upgrade goes thru several processes but hangs
at
Setup failed while installing sub-component Site Replication Service
with error code 0xC007041D -- retry or cancel  search MS knowledge
base and looks like a permissions issue  (Q278254 and Q273730).  Hmm,
make sure the exchange service account has all the permissions and click
retry.  Still no work.  Rats.  Getting late so time to make the $250
call to PSS!
   PSS steps me thru lots of stuff, nothing works.  They have me change
the service account user permissions at the ORG container from CUSTOM to
SERVICE ACCOUNT (i'm probably not saying this exactly correct).  Still
no joy.  Try to cancel out of that error message.  Nada.  Have to task
manager/shut down process.  They then refer me to the ultimate
nightmare:  Q264309 - How to Roll Back A failed Upgraded from Exchange
Server 5.5. to Exchange 2000.
   Yuck.  Go into registry and delete the stuff, rename the exchsrvr
folders, uninstall IIS, restart server, install IIS, re-apply all
service packs and hotfixes (that really sucks), delete the renamed
exchsrvr folders, setup /r exchange 5.5, restore directory and info
store.
   Restoring directory service doesn't work.  Call PSS back.  Directory
service was trying to start and got hung, can't restore to hung service.
Change to manual start and reboot. Directory restores!!!
   Restore info store.  (8 gigs).  2 hours later ready to go!  (almost)
Now the internet mail connector isn't working.  Dawn is breaking and
panic
begins to creep in.   Users will be screaming in about 2 hours.  Call
PSS
again.  End up deleting the IMC and creating a new one.  They very
patiently step me through lots of good stuff, including making sure I'm
not an internet relay and that I'm not doing circular logs.  They even
stand by while I reinstall my Anti-virus for exchange.  Everything is
working.  It's now 7am and I'm back to my original pre-upgrade status
from 7pm the night before.

  Problem summary:  PSS thinks that the problem was caused by the mail
service account user not having complete permissions at the org

I just deployed Exchange Instant Messenger and was wondering if there is
a way to include everyone in the company on the contact list for
everyone's messenger client?  Basically what I'm looking for is a new
user installing messenger and not having to add each person
individually.  

I tried to pull the info from the registry and add the key file through
a script, but the key folder name is the user's name and %username%
doesn't work for a key.  Can someone help?  

I guess the only other way I know of would be to create a VB script
which would rewrite the .reg file for each person as they are logging on
pulling the user's name through %username% (by batch script) and adding
it to the new .reg file in the appropriate place.  Anyone got a better
idea, please let me know.

You can get a good guess by looking at free space on the drive that is
reported correctly.

I was concerned that I would not be able to monitor the size of the
database.  I was checking it using explorer and it has steadily
maintained 10-11GB.  I never worried about it.  Now that it is 15.5GB I
became more concerned.

Hello,

Instead of suspecting that you have whitespace, why not check the
event log? event ID 1221 if I remember correctly...

not to mention what other have eluded to:
-mute point if you have 5 gigs of free space and not over 16gb limit
-lots of downtime-risk -what problem do you think will be solved?

PLUS- at least this way, Exchange wont have to use cycles to resize the
DB as it grows...

Thank you,
Patrick

  I ran it on two different servers that had been running for 3
years.
  Each IS was around 32 GB.  It took about 3 hours and was 5 GB when
it
  was finished.  The biggest improvement was that the backup didn't
use
  32GB of space on the tapes every night.

  Just make sure you have enough disk space free on 
  the drive that the priv.edb is on, MS recommendation is 110%, so 
  if your priv.edb is 15.5 GB you'll need to have about 16+ GB free 
  space on that drive. Otherwise, you'll have to run it across 
  the network and that will slow your time down considerably.

  X500 address. Is there any way for this to be done through raw mode by

Title: Message



From a 
management view more then one container is a bad idea no matter how your org is 
setup. you can use address book views and the likes to make it seamless to the 
users. if you need more OU's then an upgrade to exchange2k would very much be in 
your interest.

 Plain text is for hard core paranoids like me and not dull ;-)
 
 If you're on a dialup line #4 is a big issue, also #4 is once you look

 at the source code of HTML mails created with a certain mail client. 
 Sometimes the item is double in size :-( I don't need a 10kb mail with
a
 short notice which would be 1kb if plain text...
 
 The real issue with web bugs is that once you red the message even in 
 preview your mail address has been confirmed and the SPAM'ers are
happy
 to sell your confirmed address for $5 to get you flooded with their
fine
 mails ;-)
 
 Also, Yahoo! For example uses Web beacons to track the usage of their 
 groups. Each message contains a sponsor footer which actually tracks 
 your TCP/IP to keep Yahoo! informed who is using this group :-0

A mail box server will benefit for the ability to have a roll forward
recovery. Where you can restore from Back then roll the current logs
from the time of back up against the database. Thus loosing no data. A
gateway server that has no mailboxes on it, And is only really doing
routing or relaying does not need to have that ability, in that case
Circular logging is recommended.  

For what you are doing circular logging is bad. Just go get another

Why do you want to keep the same server  name? While that is certainly

Ermm... William... the FAQ explains how to keep a user from sending AND

to be able to recieve both internal and external e-mail, but not be able
to send anything.  I'm guessing this isn't as simple of a task as I
thought it might be.  

Looks like the send limit is still the front runner...

'Delete' 'Read Property' 'Write Property' 'Create Message' 'View Item'
'Create Subfolder' 'Write Security Descriptor' 'Write Owner' 'Read

The distinguished name of the owning mailbox is /O=SBM COMPUTERS

All the 1029 errors are all identical except for the e-mail.

Anyone see this before?

Subject: Search utility for header info??


Greetings all:

I have a fairly basic question here since I'm an interim Exchange
administrator (have done some of the basic server check/account 
management stuff but the primary EA left in a hurry - and unlike 
most of my sysadmin cohorts, I've actually had Exchange training).

Environment:  Exchange 5.5, SP4, on NT4 SP6a machines

I got asked if there was some way we could check through Information 
Stores for messages with a particular text in the subject.  I ask
around, 
call Microsoft, and learn about Exmerge for subject line and attachment 
search.  I run a quick test and it performs as promised.  Schweet! 

So of course the next question is ... Can we search the IS by sender, 
or recipient.  Cohort thinks he finds something in EA and tests it 
out ... only to be advised that message logging needs to be on for 
this to work.  We have a ~10K user GAL and our servers have space 
problems as it is.  We _don't_ want to turn logging on.  I may be 
dumb but I'm not entirely stupid.

I checked the website of Our Beloved Sponsor and saw a few products that
might fit the bill ... but of course they cost money.  Possibly lots of
money since we have such a big environment.  I'll check with 
our sunbelt rep for the details and advise TPTB what that functionality 
might cost them but in the meantime:

Does anyone know of a good and preferably inexpensive tool that does
searches on an IS similar to the Outlook search function without
having message logging turned on?   Currently I'm looking for header
search type stuff, although I'm sure that if I came up with something
for that, they'd ask about body text.  

Apologies if this was covered recently - I've been subscribed for a week
or so but have not had time to slog through the archives yet (having
trouble keeping up with the current volume, actually ... even in the
digest single-daily-dose.  But tell me to do BLBs and the fish tacos get
it ;-).

We are looking for a new server/Exchange admin, so if you're within
commute distance of beautiful downtown Oakland and looking for a new 
gig, mail me privately and I'll point you at the listing.

RE: Circular logging?

2002-06-26 Thread Kevin Miller

A mail box server will benefit for the ability to have a roll forward
recovery. Where you can restore from Back then roll the current logs
from the time of back up against the database. Thus loosing no data. A
gateway server that has no mailboxes on it, And is only really doing
routing or relaying does not need to have that ability, in that case
Circular logging is recommended.  

For what you are doing circular logging is bad. Just go get another
drive.

There are very few circumstances where Circular logging
is a good idea. It's
a particularly bad idea on a server which contains
mailboxes.

Yes a month has flown by already.

So on the topic of defragmentations, exchange does this nightly because
it is awesome. Got that part. Now if I have 2GB of free space after this
nightly process takes place, that is all white space that exchange uses
before the priv.edb would grow larger? Is this an accurate statement or
way off?

Per prior thread (see messages below) you all mentioned that there is MS
docs that recommend not running Exchange on the DC. Our consultants
recommended to us that we should use exchange on the DC because it was
recommended by MS. Can you point me in the direction of the Docs you
referenced?


Current setup:

total users 1800

site 1
NT 4 PDC
NT 4 BDC
NT 4 EXC 5.5 SP4

site 2
NT 4 BDC
NT 4 EXC 5.5 SP4

site 3
NT 4 BDC
NT 4 EXC 5.5 SP4

Current future plan

site 1
DC with global cat.
DC with EXC 2000

Site 2
DC with EXC 2000

site 3
DC with EXC 2000


Thanks for your directions. At least I now know that there could be some
issues (atleast more then normal upgrade issues)

I have an Exchange2000 server that's been running on a DC/GC through
beta3, RC1, RC2 and RTM.  No problems.  No unusual funkiness.

The documentation strongly recommends against installing it on a DC.
Though, I'm sure they hate it when customers pull crap like that.

  It will install.  It will even work, sort of.  But, from practical
experience, I can tell you that it does not work well.  We did this with
one of our small customers in a single-server environment.  We figured,
Hey, if Small Business Server does it, why can't we?  Well, all sorts
of funky things happened.  Confusing message dialogs, lots of errors in
the Event Log, etc.  Spent a lot of time in the MS PSS Knowledge Base.
We even called PSS on a few issues.  They all resolved to, You can
ignore that; Exchange will sometimes generate that error in a
single-server environment.

  Basically, Microsoft told us Exchange is not designed to run on an
Domain Controller.  Not in so many words, but that is what it amounted
to.  I got the distinct impression that the only reason it is supported
at all is that otherwise, they would not be able to sell Small Business
Server, and Microsoft management will not allow that.

  I hate it when companies pull crap like that.

This depends on the size of your org and the amount of traffic
generated.
Say a
50 user org - with a nice juicy box (at least a dual p-4 with 4 gigs of
ram)
sure you could run e2k on a dc, and even get away with running owa on
it.
