RE: Exchange admin
Even running setup.exe from disk 3 fails( /exchsrvr/server/setup/i386/setup.exe ) I did just try running setup.exe on a Win2k workstation and it won't run on it, wrong version of windows error. Unless you are running SBS you cann't run the setup. You could find someone who has a set of Exchange cd's and borrow them long enough to install the admin program.

Unfortunately, perhaps becasue it is SBS4.5, the installation program requires that Small Business Server be installed. I was kind of hoping someone would know of some switches or something.

RE: Co-locating mail

Director of the company is asking me if it is worth to co-locate emails with ISP. I checked with one of the ISP and looks like its very cheap if the ISP will host our company's email. I think the advantage will be that there will be less headaches for me to maintain emails within the company. I am not sure what will be the disadvantage of ISP hosting our company's mailboxes. That way I don't have to worry about antiviruse software on Exchange server, can use existing server for some other purpose and less administrative cost.

RE: Exchange Recovery Question
Todd, Exchange itself does not really care about hardware. It cares about software layout(drive letters) and the SERVER name. If the server name does not match, no restore. Lyle -Original Message-From: Todd White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 2:26 PMTo: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: Exchange Recovery Question When I recover Exchange to another server, EXACTLY SAME HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE LAYOUT except for server name, why doesn't the mailboxes appear with all the information such as Phone, Job title, etc. Is this because the server has a different name? This is using Veritas Backup Exec 8.5 or 8.6, Exchange server 5.5 SP4, and Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

RE: Exchange 5.5 dialup
Cann't tell about the article, this link goes no where :-{
I don't think the problem is Exchange specific, but more the dialup goes
brain dead, but I have not found any answers elsewhere, so I was asking
here. I did all this setup within Exchange and the Internet connector.

Subject: RE: Exchange 5.5 dialup
Hi Lyle
I have had a similar situation where I used a util called etrn which polls
the store and forward server for you - I just put this into a batch file
which did the dialup and then ran this - you give it a host and port to
connect to and shibang it goes off and gets it.
After looking there is an MS solution aswell, but the above is wonderfully
simple.
The MS solution is under
http://support.microsoft.com/support/exchange/content/whitepapers/dialupims.
asp
Hope this is what you are looking for.
Cheers

Subject: Exchange 5.5 dialup
I had tried at the Microsoft forums and got nothing back. I thought I would
try here. If anyone feels this is off topic, please just ignoreGRIN!
A new client called with a SBS server with everything installed. They are a
K-8 grade school and have little money. It was installed as part of a
network and they wanted email out of all of this. There is an ISP that does
'store forward' so they could do this via a dialup parttime connection.
They are also using this server as a proxy server for shared websurfer. It's
a busy little server. It's also setup for multilink connection using two
USR modems to the ISP. I updated NT to sp6a and exchange 5.5 to sp4. I
turned off IIS on the public IP addresses also.
I got most of it running well, but one part. It appears that after a while,
mail will get stuck in the IMC with a message stating that it cann't resolve
the name for the host. I setup the proxy to be 'on' or availible from 6am to
6pm M-F only. I setup the IMC to poll for mail every 4 hours for 15 minutes.
The store forward routine at the ISP should poll for the mail server in
about a 10 minute cycle for mail inbound to this server. I found the server
once dialed up but the dialup was not passing traffic and there were
messages stuck in the queue. I brought up the dialup monitor and dropped
the dialups. They dialed back up and mail was flowing.
Any suggestions? I am at a lose here on what to do next??
Thanks,
Lyle

RE: Retrieval of deleted item from the recycle bin
I just looked it up in the Exchange 5.5 online docs. Deleted messages are retained as per the settings of retaining deleted items in Exchange itself. As long as you are within that retention period, select the deleted items folder and then find the Recover deleted items tool in the Tools pull down. The online docs in Exchange state the deleted messages are hidden until they pass the retention period selected in Exchange. Lyle -Original Message- From: Mathews, James E.

We are running exchange 5.5 with outlook 2k client. I don't know of anyway to get it back but he claims that it has happened before and he got them back. I know we can restore messages from backup but he deleted it the same day so would not be on the nightly back up.

RE: Error publishing Free/Busy Info
I see that locally only occassionally, but the remote users see it about once a day. It's just a connectivity issue. Outlook is trying to ask the Exchange server for any updates to the calendar and the communication failed. could be a busy ethernet segment. Wan timeout issue. Busy server and didn't answer quick enough for Outlook.

WinNT 4.0 SP6a w/ Exchange 5.5 SP4 (Server is PDC). In MS Outlook the following error is generated Unable to Publish Free/Busy Data. An extensive search on the MSKB shows many articles, I have yet to find one that fixes the issue. I'm new at this company and I did not install this rollout of Exchange OR NT, so I am not sure if there was a faulty setup process or not. I have been administering Exchange for quite sometime, I just have yet to come across an error like this that isn't easy to fix! I am curious if there are issues with the System Folder (On MS Exchange) Schedule + Free Busy. The name of it is really weird, can someone confirm their name and compare? Ours is named as: EX:/o=M-M-S/ou=MAIN. I am familiar with Exchange, but I can't for the life of me think of what this folder's usual name is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Justin M.
