Or was it all a dream?.that to install and utilize Exchange 2000 on a quad-processor server there is a reg hack to perform? If so, does anyone have it?

What an issue!
I have a question/issue. Our legal dept. would like "read receipts" for all e-mails sent out, once they have been read by the recipient. This message originates from a web server and is sent with a program like "Sendmail" to virtually to every employee here. We have set up a mailbox within the Exchange org which is where they would like the read receipts to return to. They have a script they are using on the app server (see below) that supposedly is set up to send a read receipt but apparently it does not function. I didn't write it and I don't know much about it. It does send a delivery receipt however.In the CDO message object there is a return-receipt-to value to which can be assigned an e-mail address; and this, as far as I understand, should cause read receipt functionality to occur. However, when the web server sends off the message to the recipient, we get back a "delivery successful" notification (which I don't even really want), but then no subsequent "read receipt", even after the message has been opened and closed.I checked the Internet headers for the message (see bottom of message), and the Return-Receipt-To header is part of the message, but it seems to be acting like a delivery notification instead. 1) Am I incorrect on which header should cause the read receipt functionality to work? Or 2) Do I just have the wrong code? Or am I beating a dead horse? I was wondering if thereis a correlation in Exchange/Outlook for which Internet Header "maps" to the read receipt flag in the Outlook client (like it seems the Return-Receipt-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet Header "maps" to the Delivery Receipt Requested checkbox in an Outlook message). I did find an article on MSDN that might have something to do with this, assuming I am correct in #1 above. It is: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q253917 If you could help me out on this, I'd really appreciate it.

? @ Multiple SMTP Addresses during Migration.
Just a question folks. Planning to migrate soon to XCH2000 from 5.5 by bringing a XCH2000 into the org and gradually moving mailboxes/PFers/Connectors etc. over server-by-server. Users in the 5.5 environment that have multiple SMTP addresses now, when you migrate over to 2000, has anyone seen/heard/experienced any issues with that or do they all come peacefully along for the ride as all good Microsoft products do?

I wanted it moved to Win 2000. I installed Exchange 5.5 on the Win 2000 Server. Both servers were in the same domain and were accessible to each other. When installing Exch 5.5 on the Win2k server, it asked if I wanted to join an already existing Exchange, and I said yes. I madesure to bring the new Exch to the same SP level as the old one. I also made sure OWA was installed with the whole kit and caboodle. I then used Move Mailbox to move them all over. I did them in clumps by highlighting them a block at a time. Did not take very long. Pretty slick. I then made sure all the various maint schedules were the same on both servers (In Exch Admin program, under servers, you should see both the old and new server listed!), made sure all the anti-relay was set up the same, etc. etc. I let both run for a day or two, then, on the old NT 4.0 server, I simply stopped the services from running. That was 1 1/2 weeks ago, and even OWA is still working! one of these days, I'll switch it over to Exch 2000 running on Win 2000, but Exch 5.5 is fine for now.

RE: Clustering Exchange
Sorry for the laxity in answering. We run 5 Marathons with roughly 800 mailboxes per. This is w/ 1 gig ram each w/ double 700 processors. Some more, some less. Two others server as Public Folder and relay servers. This is NT4 w/ XCH 5.5. SP3 plus a few post SP3 hotfixes. We also have Trend AV and Veritas Backups on these boxes and that is all. There is NO time between failovers as in reality, Marathon runs like a mirrored-duplex on steroids, if you will. There are also some techniques that have been developed that allows you to shut down 1/2 of the server while you run utilities or what have you on one copy of the IS while the absolute copy of the original is left intact. If what you are doing on the live array fails, you can over-write it over from the stored IS on the side that is shut down. If on the otherhand, whatever you are doing on the active side is successful, you can bring up the second side you were using as a backup of sorts, and let it over-write it. But during normal operation, the Marathon writes simintaneously to both at once. It sees itself as one server, but in reality, it is 2 CEs (I/O) and 2 IOPs (arrays). Our experiences have been good, but know this: XCH is a resource hog, Marathon is as well. You have to run powerfull boxes so that both are confortable or else you will get hammered. We are going over to NT2000/XCH2000 this year's end and will reduce our email servers down to 4, all Marathon. Any issue we have had with Marathons, and these have been minor, have been handled promptly by their support. And as you mentioned, it is expensive. My feeling, from 1000-1200 mailboxes max on a 2 gig ram machine, with 2 times 1 gig mhz processors, 36 gig raid 1 for log files and 90 gig raid 5 for IS, you'll be hard put to find a better configuration. Sorry I do not have personal info on NT2000 yet but, alas, budget constraints.

I have two main complaints about Windows Clustering one, the length of time it takes to dismount and remount the store between nodes is likely to cause time outs with Outlook so effecting the user. Secondly, MS clustering only protects the OS, if you get a corruption of the IS then clustering will not help you. In my experience a clustered solution can just introduce more problems and be more complex to administer then it gives in return.

My boss wants us do a complete backup of the server tonight, then come in tomorrow and do a defrag of the database, back it up again, and restore it to the new server. It seems to be the general consensus on this list that defrag=bad. But what about in this situation where we are moving to a new server and we are scheduled to have the server down for 24 hours anyway? I checked the event logs and, as of last night it shows that the database has 16 megabytes of free space after online defragmentation. Is this the white space that I've heard about? And is that all the space we will gain by doing a defrag? If that's the case, I will suggest we don't take the time and risk of doing a defrag of the IS. I'm guessing it will take at least 2-3 hours to defrag our 36GB database Or will there be a performance increase by doing a defrag now? Thanks for your input.

Why not double-check then call their support? Sometimes if your are getting OTM errors or warnings in your Event logs, its a sign of the backup malfuctioning. Also, in the registry, do you see a path mentioned under software/veritas/etc/etc that pertains to these? Also,what is the extension on these logs? TXT?

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?

Don't you generate an OAB in each site? Kevin -Original Message-From: Kopec, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: 15 August 2001 15:08To: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: OAB Version 2 Sub-folder Would anyone have any insight on this? In the XCH Admin/Org/Folders/System Folders/OAB then another subfolderrepresenting the site here. Then there is the standard OAB Version 2 folder under that. But my question is, underthe OAB Version 2 folder is a sub folder titled, "0a8ef82b-4d3a-11d5-98ec-0008c7e63303". What is this folder?? We have been having issues generating/replication OABs to our 2 over sea's sites and I feel this may be connected to the issue.

RE: Guidgen.exe
Pam, This utility regenerates the system folders I believe. Do you want it for that? I do have it should you need it. -Original Message- From: Pamela Gengler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 3:11 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Guidgen.exe Anyone know where I can download this program?
