Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise and maybe 20 users. For years, peoples' address book has consisted of just using the auto-complete in Outlook 2003 (and now Outlook 2007 in some cases.) But now, I'm growing more and more concerned about that technique and would like an easy and reliable way to have a central repository of contacts that everyone can use and update. My question is, what is everyone doing? I would assume a public folder that contains contacts and then is assigned as an address book in people's Outlook configurations, but then I've also heard that public folders don't exist in E2K7, which I may upgrade to at some point, so I'm not sure how to proceed. So, is there a third party solution that people know of and use, or is it just a public folder filled with contacts?

emails flooding from Embarq
I have a user that forwarded an email from his Embarq account at home to his work email account. He's been receiving that same email, complete with a 3mb attachment, every 5-10 minutes to his work email address. Apparently, this has been going on for a few days now. I've got his email address blocked to keep them from filling his mailbox. Could his home computer be infected or could this be an Embarq problem? We have Exchange 2003. Thanks for any help.

We have 'some people' pushing to allow the iPhone in the organization. Those 'some people' had enough pull to get a proof of concept going. At the end, it had many short comings for a company covered by HIPAA. Lack of device encryption was the most glaring and why our security department said no. When 'some people' insisted, our security department hacked (on the network) the test phone used during the proof of concept.

He's not using that setting, but may in the future. For now we turned off Outlooks automatic filtering and deleted everything from his blocked senders list.

Mail Gateway vs Exchange
Hi guys and gals, I'm moving this over from the NT Admin forum since it seems to be purely an Exchange issue. I'm still looking for guidance on why and what my DC is trying to send out port 25. Please read from the bottom. Thanks, Paul Yes, all the mail seems to be flowing out just fine. I'm getting rely denied ndr's for a few domains and I seem to be listed with Barracuda still, but no other issues I'm aware of. I'm showing connections using port 25 on both local address and foreign address. The entries which are on local address most of the state values are Time-wait with a pid of 0. The occasional pid of smssmtp. All the foreign addresses showing pid of smssmtp. I must not understand how mail is supposed to flow. I assumed that the mail flowed into and out of the Mail Gateway (my DC), and maybe it did (and still trying), but my Exchange Server seems to be sending it fine since that is the only ip allowed out in my firewall (for smtp traffic). When I installed Ninja on my Exchange Box I uninstalled Symantec for Exchange (or whatever it's called). My plan was to also take Symantec Mail Security for SMTP off the DC, but decide that it was an extra layer of Security that wasn't hurting anything. I can't remember if we did anything to change the flow of outgoing email at that time or not.

RE: Mail Gateway vs Exchange
I originally thought mail came in and back out the mail gateway (my DC), but after configuring my WG to only allow smtp out from my Exchange Server I have my doubts. As you can see, I don't know. All I can tell you is what I thought and what is happening now. Maybe there is some confusion as to what my mail gateway is. It would be my WG firewall if it sent all incoming smtp traffic to my Exchange Server, which was my original plan when I put Ninja on the Exchange Server, but I left it configured to send all incoming smtp traffic to my DC, just as it was when I was using Symantec Enterprise. Since I left Symantec Mail Security for SMTP on the DC, I kept the WG configured to send incoming smtp traffic to it, which forwards it to the Exchange Server. This has always been clear to me, it's what happens to outgoing smtp traffic that has me confused now.

Bonnie, now I know what to check in the DHCP config. The ip address that was causing the problem was in an excluded range. The mystery lessens as to why it was acting like it was, but now the question is why did the laptop get that ip to begin with? It wasn't a newly created exclusion range.

There is nothing in the Server Event logs if that is where you are talking about. I'm not sure what to check on the DHCP config. There haven't been any changes made and everyone else is fine. Here's what I did: I deleted the ip entry for this computer in DHCP and DNS, put back to dynamic ip, and for the last 4 hours it has been steady as a rock using its new ip address. That was a lot of head banging for this. Go figure? We've had lots of issues like this in the past where we've gone as far as changing the mb. Maybe this is all we will need to do the next time.

Dell laptop losing connectivity on network
I have a Latitude D620 that started having connectivity issues. It will work just after it's turned on for about 5 minutes and then no network anything (local or Internet). Sometimes it will spontaneously start working again, but usually not. Sometimes if I repair the local area connection it will work, but usually that fails also. If I disable/re-enable the adapter it will always work, but only for a short period of time. When it is happening, I can ping the machine and get a mixture of replys and timeouts. The only error in the error logs is when the repair the local area connection fails. I get event id 1003 from dhcp saying, unable to renew address from the network. The following error occurred: The semaphore timeout period has expired. Your computer will try to continue to try and obtain an address The Dell tech thought it sounds like a software issue and we tried everything. Reinstalling the nic driver, stopping unnecessary services, ruling out cabling issues, etc. Finally he suggested, for no specific reason, to try the laptop outside of our network. So, I took it home last night and low and behold it worked fine without having any connectivity issues. I was using the same Domain user account. I would love to have some ideas on what may be going on or how to fix this. I have other laptops just like this and they are not having any issues,... yet. Thank you, Paul Everett IS Dept.

RE: Dell laptop losing connectivity on network- SOLUTION!!
There is nothing in the Server Event logs if that is where you are talking about. I'm not sure what to check on the DHCP config. There haven't been any changes made and everyone else is fine. Here's what I did: I deleted the ip entry for this computer in DHCP and DNS, put back to dynamic ip, and for the last 4 hours it has been steady as a rock using its new ip address. That was a lot of head banging for this. Go figure? We've had lots of issues like this in the past where we've gone as far as changing the mb. Maybe this is all we will need to do the next time.

RE: Outlook weirdness
I have the same issue with Outlook 2003. I've gotten it down to two steps. I click to download the images in the preview pane and then I open the message. If you open the message and download the images you need to as you say, close/save/reopen. I haven't looked into the solution since I realized I need to download in the preview pane. Paul From: James Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 1:19 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Outlook weirdness I just noticed the following issue with outlook. When viewing an HTML email that has pictures in it, it doesn't display them by default, you have to click on the download pictures in the toolbar that pops up. This works fine in the preview pane but when you open the email in a new window it doesn't work. I find that you have to select download pictures then close and save and reopen it in a new window and then it allows you to click on download pictures and they are displayed. Anyone else have this problem? Its Outlook 2003 and I am using Outlook as the email editor. I use the preview pain but I have some users gripping about this and they opened a ticket, so I am obligated to help them out. James - Original Message - From: Michael B.

It's a client thing. Exchange also no longer has a 32-bit MAPI library. That's a client thing. So...export-mailbox uses some Outlook hooks. Outlook is a 32-bit application. You can run export-mailbox on XP x64 or Vista x64. But Outlook is still a 32-bit application. Exmerge used a fork of old Outlook code. That is, the PST code was ripped from Outlook in an old version and used in Exmerge. This is the reason that it only supported old-style PSTs (2 GB limit). Regards, Michael B.

New ip's and Blackberry stops receiving email
Last weekend we changed all our external ip's and ever since then our only user with a Blackberry phone/everything hasn't been able to get her email on the thing.

RE: recreating mailbox accounts
Thanks. I deleted all entries for her old and new email address and we're still getting the same dnr's. The 5.4.6 error I get when sending to the original email address states: A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients. But only when I have it forwarding to her new email address. There is not an NDR when forwarding is not enabled. Maybe I can change the time Exchange retains deleted objects to 0 days and reboot the Server?? Do you think Exchange may be retaining some info even though I have deleted both of the original mailboxes from ESM for both her old and new User? I also rebooted the Exchange Server this am.

Looking for Last Logon date in Exchange
I'm looking to determine when the last time our users have actually looked at their email, either thru Outlook or OWA. In Exchange System Manager\Mailbox Store\Mailboxes it shows a column header for Last Logon Time and Last Logoff Time, but these are all showing the same time, about 10 minutes prior to me logging onto the Exchange Server to view this information (give or take a minute). It seems like I use to be able to go here and see that people hadn't logged on for months. We have 250 accounts and not all are working at the same time much less logging on (and off) at the same time. All but three users show last logon by NT Authority\System, but the only difference it those accounts is that there is no log-off time. Is there another way for me to find what I'm looking for in Exchange? Exchange 2003 in a 2003 AD Domain, running Sunbelt Messaging Ninja. Thanks, Paul Everett IS Dept.
