Re: SNMP Service Fails to Start

2011-10-11 Thread Mike O'Toole
Sometimes starting what's normally a service in a DOS box will show 
additional errors as it loads. There might even be extra command line 
switches exposed like dumping a log.

HTH,

Mike

 I replied and gave you a command to make sure something else wasnt 
 running on that port.
 The behavior you describe is exactly what happens if something does 
 have the port open.

 Hello, All.

 I asked this question Sunday over on the NT SysAdmin list, but no 
 replies yet.  Perhaps someone here has encountered a similar issue on 
 a 64-bit Exchange 2010 system?


 Thanks in advance.

 Howdy, All.

 Have a problem on a 2003 R2 64-bit server running SQL Server 2005 
 64-bit.  Despite installing, uninstalling and reinstalling the SNMP 
 service, the SNMP server service fails immediately to start, not with 
 the typical 30-second period.  The only errors I'm seeing in the event 
 logs are 7009  7000, which haven't helped in troubleshooting.  This 
 happens set to run as the default Local System service with desktop 
 interaction enabled. I have also in desperation tried running it under 
 a domain admin equivalent account with no success.  I have been unable 
 to find any information on logs other than the System or Application 
 event logs that would record more information about what the error 
 might be.


 Any ideas out there?

 Thanks.

Re: SMTP Address is un use by a non mail-enabled Public Folder?!

2011-09-27 Thread Mike O'Toole


Try sending an email to it with a delivery receipt enabled. It *may* give some 
extra clues.  

YMMV as it has for me in the past ;-)

  To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com 

 Just came to setup a DL and the SMTP address we want to use is already in 
 use.  

 I ran adfind and found it.  

 folderPathname is listed, as is proxyAddresses.  

 However, when I use the EMC Public Folders console to browse to that 
 location, the public folder is /NOT/ mail enabled, so I have no idea how I?m 
 supposed to remove the email address so that I can use it where I want to?  

 This is on Exchange 2010 SP1 RU 3v3.  


 Thanks, 

 Paul

Re: Best Practices for Attachment Size Limits

2011-09-09 Thread Mike O'Toole


Doesn't the recipient have the last word on size? A user would like to send a 
20mb file to say AOL.com but AOL's 3 mb limit would reject it. No change on 
your end can fix the recipients limit.

 Coming to this late, I'd bump the send limit to probably 20 MB.  
 I'd remove the receive limit entirely.  But this is based on our industry.  
 People send us huge documents all the time.  We avoid having limits to deal 
 with them.

   Subject: Best Practices for Attachment Size Limits
  
   We have the standard 10-meg attachment size limit in place, and I was
   wondering if we should reconsider. It actually doesn't seem to cause
   much of a problem, but periodically we have a situation where someone
   is trying to send/receive a file that's too big.
  
   There were two main reasons for the limit.
  
   One is that e-mail isn't a particularly efficient method for
   transferring files, so big files should be transferred some other way.
   But in this day and age, is 10 MB considered big anymore?
  
   The second reason is that big files will fill up users' mailboxes
   quickly, and our users have 250 MB quotas. Although the fact that I
   don't too often hear complaints about the 10 MB limit makes me think
   users aren't sending/receiving files of that size very often
   anyway--so the mailbox size may not be a problem if I bump up the 
   attachment size limit.
  
   I know situations vary from enterprise to enterprise, but I'm looking
   for general best practices and pros/cons to increasing the limit.

RE: Tracking down a sender

2011-07-19 Thread Mike O'Toole
Change the account's password to somethingreallyhardtoguess or similar  
and then watch the AD Domain Controller logs for that account to  
lockout.


You'll have a hostname, IP and be able to get the mac address from  
network tools. Then you'll have the ability to find which network  
switch and LAN port info.
