RE: NAV for Exchange

[Nickolaos Fotopoulos]

Thanks, I really have to brush up on my knowledge base search terms.  I tend
to enter parts of the error message I see, which ironically almost never
works for me.  :)  Maybe Symantec has an article about how to search the
knowledge base like MS does!?

For your future reference, this was the first document listed when going
to Symantec's [stupidly difficult to navigate] knowledge base, when I
entered "admin account" as the search terms.
<http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/enterprise/> 
Then select Norton Antivirus / 2.x for Microsoft Exchange
Then find the tiny little buried link that says "knowledge base"

NAV for Exchange 2.1

Yesterday I went to the Windows Update page to get SP3 and install it on
my Exchange server.  I noticed that IE6 was listed along with a few
critical updates.  I installed IE6 because this often has some of the
critical updates rolled up with it.  After installing and rebooting, the
NAV for Exchange service fails to start because of a logon problem.  It
says the NT account specified is not an Exchange Administrator.  The
accounts being used is the Domain Admin account which was the default I
suppose cause I have never actually set it manually.  I tried using the
local Admin account and also using the radio button to select Local
System, but I get the same message each time.  I am considering removing
NAV and reinstalling it. Anyone see this before?

Outbound delivery queue recovery

[Nickolaos Fotopoulos]

Can the messages that are sitting in the "Outbound messages awaiting
delivery" Queue be retrieved?  None of them originated from our host name or
are set to be delivered to us.  I just recently secured the server against
SMTP relaying, I had to leave it open do to an old program that required MS
Internet Mail 3.x just incase you were wondering.  I just want to see who
was relaying mail and what kind of mail it was.  If it was porn or something
equally offensive, and it destination was to someone we know or a potential
client I would like to know ahead of time.

  It wouldn't affect 
  the local mail at all. As long as the client hasn't been 
  configured with the new mailbox. You would need to delete the new 
  mailboxes and then add the new email addresses to the old mailbox and set as 
  the primary address. Then you wouldn't need to worry about the message, 
  because it wouldn't matter what email address an email was sent to, you would 
  receive both.

We have a very

storage to 15mb.  I only had 6 drives to work with.
Drives 
are:
 
18gb raid 1 for OS

other for logs.
4 18gb raid 5 for 
database.
 
I don't know if 
this is the optimal performance setup but it has worked just fine for 
us.  It is on a single processor 933 with 1.5gb of ram.  We even 
had a drive fail during the first week of operation and it didn't miss a 
beat.
 
Storage groups are

RE: Oh man you are kidding...

[Nickolaos Fotopoulos]

Not trying to start a *NIX war or anything but, there are not .exe issues in
*NIX, since they do not use file extensions to determine executable code.  A
file is determined to be executable by its permissions.  This is a little
tougher to get around.  This is what keeps a *NIX system a little safer than
its Windows counterpart.  You, for the most part need to root a *NIX box to
really get it good, not that this is a difficult thing depending on who set
it up.
I sometimes dream about a Microsoft OS that uses a *NIX like file
system*sigh*...well I can dream can't I!?
For everyone that is bashing Outlook: Sure it has flaws, what doesn't?  The
more popular something is the more exploited it will become.  Virus writers
want there virus to spread far and wide, so of course they are going to
target Outlook users.  On top of that they know that a large number of
Outlook users are not geeks/admins/power users, and they can easily trick
them into running malicious code.  I know that if I chose to write a virus,
I would target Outlook.  Not because its insecure, but because its the most
widely used email program by novice users.

Disclaimer:
I'm not bashing anyone or any OS.  I love MS, *NIX, and BSD, you just have
to pick the right one for the job.

I agree with you in all points. I just don't see a reason why tossing
Outlook now that it, as you mentioned, has been greatly improved to stop
such automated script execution attacks.

Interesting enough KLEZ uses a completely new algorithm to spread
itself. It harvests e-mail addresses out of the browser local temporary
Internet file cache and sends e-mails with faked originator addresses
using it's own SMTP engine. How would it help to toss Outlook to get
around KLEZ?

I am just awaiting the first .EXE viruses designed to infect a *NIX
machine by using the same algorithm KLEZ uses (harvesting e-mail
addresses from temporary files) and send them via it's own SMTP engine.

Anybody knows how to program that?

Are 
all of these potential executables?  I don't recognize allot of them.  
Also has anyone run into any legitimate issues with the double extension

  NAV for Exchange blocks attachments. You enter 
  the extensions to block via registry entries. Not hard to do but I wish 
  they would have done it via the web interface. If you search the Symantec 
  website the details are there. In their knowledge base use the keywords: 
  attachment blocking. If I remember right.

RE: Pulling my hair out...

Sorry to hijack, but I am having a some what related issue only on a grander
scale.  It all started with email, and after some searching I realized that
this effected the entire network and not just the mail servers.  From my
router I can see all addresses just fine except those starting with
66.33.*.* and on the other side(those with 66.33.*.* addresses) cannot see
our addresses.

At first I though it was a router configuration issue because our ISP could
ping these addresses just fine one hop away from our router.  Our router
configuration is real simple, all outgoing traffic is sent to serial0 (WAN
interface) and all incoming traffic is sent to eth0(LAN interface).
Everything worked fine up until a week ago.

The reason this thread caught my attention is that someone had suggested
rDNS might be causing these kinds of problems.  I found out yesterday that
our DNS servers (hosted by register.com) do not support rDNS.  My question
is, rDNS was being done on this 66.33.*.* network, would this effect their
ability to connect to us or send us mail?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have seen this when the link is just good enough to establish a TCP
connection, but not good enough to hold a conversation.

Try blackhole routing the first MX record from your exchange box... this
should force you to the second.

Hi everyone,

I have a client who has  a problem connecting to the Exchange Server 5.5 SP4
using Outlook 2000-SR2 client.  The following error occurs after clicking on
the "Check Name" box under "Microsoft Exchange Server" window:

"The name could not be resolved.  The Microsoft Exchange Address Book was
unable to log on to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer.  Contact your
system administrator if the problem persists."

And if I use another computer and log in to the Exchange Server as this
user, there isn't any problem connecting.

Did anyone run across this problem before and how to resolve it?

Your help will be appreciated.

The OWA uses the domain that the server is a member of. We use a single OWA

others, they need the fully qualified user name.

RE: Disabling Relay Function

I think www.ordb.org has some info.  You can also test your server there.
If you test it and it is open, you will be added to there list of Open Relay
servers.  The only way off the list is to successfully test as closed.  I
have heard of a few cases of Linux based setups testing as open even when
they are closed, but, as far as I know testing of Exchange servers is
accurate.

RE: Exchange 2000 and virtual shares stopping on their own

I have 
done everything, moved the Info Store and used the Optimizer to move the store 
where I want it.  I can open the Exchange Admin Console and Everything 
appears to be ok, or at least all of the info about the server looks to be in 
place.  I cant seem to connect to the server locally.  Outlook just 
freezes during startup, is it something to do with the Server manager setting on 
the PDC.  I changed them by first deleting the old server and then renaming 
the new server with the old server name, but the info in the Server Manager 
didnt seem to update.  It knows that the computer XCHANGE has already been 
removed and tells me that it will update in about 15 mins.  Do I need to 
wait for the Server Manager to update before renaming the new 
machine?

  Not necessarily "no real purpose" many external IE not owned by you. 
  Mail servers will use your MX record to find the Mail eXchanger for your domain, this is its purpose. I have 
  found it is ALWAYS better to properly define the host (A) record for your mail

represents, I think, is a route for SMTP traffic.  If you have multiple 
servers accepting email for an SMTP domain, MX records can be assigned costs 
with a relative relationship to assign priorities to certain mail 
routes.

 

In a 
single server environment it may not seem to make much sense to have a 
separate DNS resource record to indicate where the Mail Exchange Server 
is.  But some companies have multiple routes, some companies have email 
hosted elsewhere.

I am trying to upgrade 
an NT4.0 Exchange 5.5 sp6 server that is in use full time to a 
Windows 2000 Exchange 2000 machine.
The exchange 5.5 server 
has been used for some 5 years with no problems. The old server was 
misconfigured to with a different netbios name from mx record, with 
aliases in the user mailboxes.
I ran the exchange 
server migration wizard and migrated the messages to the new 
mailboxes without errors or warnings. 
What I have and would 
like to know... 
oldserver 
 
netbios = some_name 
dns = 
another_name.subnet.domain.edu mx = 
mail.subnet.domain.edu 
newserver 
 
netbios =

I would like to move the

server...am I going to have problems?

Yes,

beaten up exchange servers is to add and remove email addresses.  Please go

  I 
  have been watching this thread seeing the all the "Avoid BLBrestore the IS 
  and do Exmerge" comments with interest.
  I do 
  use Deleted Item Retention (10 days) and I do perform a full backup of 
  the stores for disaster recovery.
  I 
  also do BLB for 3 reasons: 1. Management says I have to, 2. Some of my 
  users have discovered the Deleted Items Recovery feature (and deleted them 
  there too) and 3. It would take longer to 
  restore the IS's from tape than it would to just restore it directly from 
  the BLB tape.  I would rather spent 5-10 minutes restoring an 
  email or folder from my nightly backups (if it exceeds the 10 day retention 
  time) than spending hours setting up another server, restoring the IS and 
  doing an Exmerge.  If for some reason it can't be restored, then I tell 
  the user "so sad, too bad...not recoverable".  I don't consider recovering deleted emails a 
  disaster so why should I have to perform a disaster recovery just to 
  get email back?. 
     
  Just 
  my 2 cents worth.

  I may keep the BE option to backup the individual

OopsI usually just click on reply on the last message received and 
delete the entire contents of the previous messages, because its faster than 
making a new message and entering the email or selecting one from the address 
book.  In my haste to get the email typed while I had a couple of minutes 
available, I forgot to delete the body of the reply.  
Sorry.

  I

  W2K.  I want to complete remove it and start over with my bare W2K

Yes, it is ghost user syndrome. It is usually a sign that 
the user needs to be let go. Notify HR immediately

Moving the information store to another server

[Nickolaos Fotopoulos]

I desperately need help.  I am flying solo here at my company.  I am the
programmer, but I also have to admin the network which is pure MS.  This is
not so much of a problem though.  I have a new Dell server that is setup and
ready host our exchange server.  I want to move all of the mailboxes on our
current exchange server and all other data that would be needed get the new
server running in the same fashion as the old server.  The current exchange
server is running NT4 with Exchange 5.5, the new server is running W2K with
Exchange 5.5.

I had spoken with someone about this before, and was told that the 'move
mailbox' feature in the menu options was not wise in this case.  He advised
that I do it manually to guarantee that the new server acts the way I need.
I haven't had any luck contacting this person, and have not Exchange
experience.  Any help that anyone could provide, via email, AIM, or phone
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi,

I've a problem with E2K (SP1) + W2K (SP2).

OWA has a SSL key, that seems to be working fine. But when I try to
reply messages, the body doesn't appear, in the reply!
I open the message, and the body is there. When I reply, the body
doesn't come!


Any Ideas???
