I 
agree.  Back in the day, we sold a time/billing system for law firms.  
For the most part, our salespeople were pretty ignorant of the 
competition.   We went in, and did our presentation, and left.  
Lots of our customers told us later that they learned a whole bunch about what 
our product supposedly couldn't do from our competitors, and not a whole bunch 
about what THEY COULD do.  I was proud of our approach.

I 
dislike management, directors, or CEO's that choose instead of praising their

denigrate the competition instead.  I attended a Novell presentation here 
about a year ago.  The presenter had pictures of Steve Ballmer of Microsoft 
changed to reflect him in unusual circumstances.  I almost walked 
out.  Not because I'm close to Mr Ballmer, but because my tendency is to 
professionally distance myself from businesses that practice that.  I 
was unable to make it to the Oracle booth yesterday.  But I will try today 
(I'll be at Comdex today).  Yes I will ask.  Yes, I will express my 
distaste, both verbally and in writing.
 
Why?  Because I run Exchange.  And I run 
Oracle.  And I run Novell.

There is an exception to the rule (well maybe not an exception, but I can't
think of the right word) and that is that the Backoffice CAL will no longer
be available after October 1st and you will need to  get CAL 'Core' packs
which I believe will be more expensive.  Backoffice CAL's were the cheapest
way to get EX, SQL & NT Cals together.

You don't need *any* C/C++ skills to change such a thing. The Microsoft
Visual C++ IDE offers a way to open an .EXE or .DLL file as resource to
change a string compiled into the file.


That's what the discussion is talking about and that's how you could
also change the mailbox warning messages which are stored in mdbres.dll
IIRC.

I need to set up an email that will have 2100 people who want to get this

I get "The distribution list has reached its maximum size for your network

How can I increase the number without nesting DL inside of DLs or having

Title: RE: MS new licensing plan Oct 1st?



We 
did, because our SQL vendor is currently preparing their next release, which 
will include an upgrade to Sql2000 from Sql7.   If we want the new 
features, and I'm sure we do, then hopefully we've saved a few bucks by paying 
now for the SQL server upgrade and clients. 
 
However, I haven't heard from the SQL vendor that we'll also need to be 
on anything other than winnt and office97, and I'm hoping we don't.

There is an exception to the rule (well maybe not an

that is that the Backoffice CAL will no longer be

Backoffice CAL's were the cheapest way to get EX,

  There is an exception to the rule (well maybe not an

  and that is that the Backoffice CAL will no longer be available after October 1st and you will need to  get CAL

Subject: Problems connecting to Exchange Server


Hi everyone,


This may be remedial, but I'm having with a new installation communicating
with Exchange Server.


The new machine is a Windows 2000 Professional workstation, SP2.  It is
using
Outlook 2000, SR-1.  The Exchange Server is v5.0, which is also the PDC for
our only domain.


The problem is the message "Your Microsoft Exchange Server is
unavailable...Retry, Work Offline, Help" when Outlook starts.  If Retry is
selected, there is a very long delay, then Outlook starts normally.


This issue is fairly strange in that this workstation cannot PING the
Exchange Server.  The IP address for the Exchange Server is 10.0.0.228.  The
IP Address for the workstation is 10.0.0.245.  They cannot PING each other
from the DOS prompt.  Switching network cables hasn't helped, and neither
has
using different hub ports.  Those cables and ports have been proven reliable
by connecting with other machines through them.


There is an LMHOSTS. file relating 10.0.0.228 and the Exchange Server, which
is named TCM_NT1, with the following lines (which seem to work on all the NT
workstations)
  10.0.0.228   "trendstat_nt   \0x1b" #PRE
  10.0.0.228   tcm_nt1    #PRE    #DOM:trendstat_nt


We have tried adding
  10.0.0.228   tcm_nt1
to the HOSTS. file, which has not helped.


When Checking name resolution under the Exchange Server Properties in the
Control Panel Mail applet, entering the IP address results in a "machine
cannot be found" type of message, but entering TCM_NT1 eventually
resolves...eventually meaning 45-90 seconds.


We have tried changing the RPC order in the HKLM\...\Exchange Provider key,
as recommended in Q163576, but this also hasn't worked (some of the new
combinations locked up the machine).


We are able to PING all other machines on the 10.0.0.x network from the 2000
workstation, all except TCM_NT1, and TCM_NT1 can ping all machines except
the
2000 workstation.  It seems logical that the fact that TCM_NT1 is a Primary
Domain Controller is an issue, I'm just not sure how, or how to resolve.


Any thoughts or ideas?  All help is greatly appreciated!!!

routing maintenance on the Exchange server.  There are about 600 mailboxes
and several of these boxes being over 500mb in size.  What is the
recommended size limit a mailbox should be before you need to set
restrictions on these boxes and force the user to either delete or archive

What is the policy in yoru Company.  I wanted a gather ideas on how you guys

today.  One of my users needs tosend mail to a new customer.  
When ever we send mail to this user, we getthe following error from 
Exchange: The Following recipient(s) could not be 
reached: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
on 8/27/01 3:25 PMThe recipient name is not 
recognized. What I have checked: 1.  It is a 
valid username and domain name.2.  I can send to it from 
hotmail.3.  I have same problem from multiple Outlook 
Profiles.4.  I can ping the problem domain from the exchange 
server.5.  There is no custom recipient on the server that 
corresponds to eitherthe username or domain name. Exchange

to start narrowing the problemdown?

  There's a difference.  When you open up the account you are 
  directly accessing the calendar.  When you schedule a meeting from 
  another account, you are looking at the published Free/Busy information, which 
  according to certain client-side settings, may not contain more than 2 months 
  ahead of the current date.
   
  Create NT accounts for the resource accounts and sign onto a PC with 
  that account.  Go into Outlook with the resource account as the primary 
  mailbox, and set the Outlook parameters for Free/Busy 
  publishing.
   
  To 
  take care of everybody else, put the following into the logon script (assuming 
  OL2K, tweak the values for your environment):
  %0\..\REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Preferences /v 
  FBPublishRange /t REG_DWORD /d 0x000c  /f%0\..\REG ADD

Subject: RE: saving emails



Email on the corporate network is property of the corporation - there are
several intellectual property cases both in/ out of the courts that back
that statement. It is part of the administrators function to monitor
services and content belonging to the company as directed by owners. As part
of most company's employee handbook or corporate policy it simply states -
all information transmitted through the corporation's network belongs to the
corporation. It is not a privacy issue, it is a policy issue.


I monitor several small companies and periodically will audit outbound email
for a specific period to determine the legitimacy of use. Often times during
these audits, I locate users who spend countless hours of the company's
resources having conversations with friends and relatives as well as passing
joke email (can you say ILOVEYOU?). I have even caught one user sending
confidential information to a competitor and another user sending MP3's to
himself (600+ Mb over period of a week). Since it is my job to track these
items, I regularly perform these audits as part of my consulting services.


The problem with a snapshot in time monitor is that it is only a moment in
time. Having an automated process that dumps in/out email and then allows a
cursory review is an excellent option for companies that deal with
confidential information. 


Personally, I have not adopted either the journaling option or setting up
something else (William - BCC was the suggestion was it not). It is however,
completely within a company's rights to review information coming in/ going
out of it's network as a matter of policy.


My experience, my $.02.

I think he means how do you recover an individual mailbox if you don't back up individual mailboxes.  


Basically you need a "backup server", where you restore the priv, export the mailbox and import it back into the live database.

The data in a "mailbox" is scattered throughout your information store -
it's not like each user has their own section of the database.


You might want to do some reading on the Exchange database - Tony Redmond
and Paul Robichaux have both written books that explain this nicely, and
TechNet has really good info too.

If you have not Backed Up individual Mailboxes and you need to recover One

lose their mail up to the last Back Up.

Implement 30 day Deleted Items Retention in Exchange. You will never need to

As for OFM, People say to stay away. I have personally seen it running in
8.5 on an Exchange server daily and it worked great, though you were
essentially backing up everything twice. But I believe the rule of thumb is
don't use it.

For those of you that use Veritas Backup Exec to backup the Exchange server,
what type of back up jobs do you run? Daily Differentials and Full every
Friday. DO you backup the IS and the individual mailboxes every evening or
just the IS. I think we here have been backing up the individal mailboxes
every day as well since we have had numerous problems with users
accidentally deleting stuff and needing it restored.
Also do most of you utilize the Open File option in veritas as you may have
users in email while it is being backed up?
I just wanted to get an idea of what type of backup strategy is used by
others.

  I know this has been addressed before but please 
  bear with me. I'm ramping up to build a single mailbox recovery server. 
  I've read the Exchange 5.5 Disaster Recovery Server white paper. I'm using 
  ArgggServIT 6.61 on a member server with agents to backup the current 
  Exchange server which is a BDC Dell with a mirrored set for the OS, 
  mirrored set for the log files and a Raid 5 with striping for the 
  database. The recovery server will have two large IDE drives. 
  So
   
  1)    I build the recovery server 
  as a member of the domain, installing NT and Exchange with the exact 
  service packs as the current Exchange BDC. Will this create any issues 
  with two Exchange servers on my network? I realize when I install Exchange 
  on the recovery box I create a new site with the same site and

  I know this has been 
  addressed before but please bear with me. I'm ramping up to build a single 
  mailbox recovery server. I've read the Exchange 5.5 Disaster Recovery Server 
  white paper. I'm using ArgggServIT 6.61 on a member server with agents to 
  backup the current Exchange server which is a BDC Dell with a mirrored set for 
  the OS, mirrored set for the log files and a Raid 5 with striping for the 
  database. The recovery server will have two large IDE drives. 
  So
   
  1)    
  I build the recovery server as a member of the domain, installing NT and 
  Exchange with the exact service packs as the current Exchange BDC. Will this 
  create any issues with two Exchange servers on my network? I realize when I 
  install Exchange on the recovery box I create a new site with the same site 
  and organization name as the existing Exchange server, not join 
  site.
  2)

BE 
instead of UltraBac?  If I get to make a switch I'm going to give them a 
chance, although I thought their program seemed kind of goofy to set up - each 
server was it's own 'project' I think they called it, and then you ran multiple 
'projects'.  But I've heard really good things about their service.

Since people cant seem to think for themselves and keep up with their own

to tell everyone that they need to do their time sheets.  Before I do a ton
of research on this was wondering if anyone has ever done  this.  To answer
a few questions first off... We have exchange 5.5 with outlook 2000.  I
already told management I could set up and appointment for around 3am Monday
morning when no one is in the office and when they log on the reminder will
come up.  They said this is NO GOOD they must have it be an e-mail not on
the calendar.  I asked why and they said they did not want to clutter up the
calendar even though it would be at 3am and I am sure no one is having
appointments at that time (unless to meet with the mistress).  SO
instead of a reminder on the calendar they junk up their email with a
message that they will just delete 



Any help is appreciated in advance

Disk Space
 
Hi,
 
I 
have Exchange 5.5 installed on a Dell poweredge 2300,  The server has 2 
x 9Gb drives mirrored with two partitions 2Gb and 6.45Gb.  Exchange is 
installed to the first partition and the mailboxes reside on the second 
partition.
 
Ok, 
the server is continually running out of disk space, so everything shuts 
down, if I look at the mailbox resources in the Admin tool it reports that 
the internet mail service mailbox is just short of 1Gb, how do you view, 
clear this down?  
 
Also 
I believe that the whitespace can be cleared down from the database but 
requires 110% of the database size, can I install Exchange to another server 
with bags of disk space, recover whitespace and move databases back to the 
original server? (and no I can't move Exchange to the other server 
permanently!!)
 
 
Thanks
 
Duncan

Now, can someone help me out here and let me know how to get to the 1Gb showing against the internet mail service in mailbox resources?  Please?

I have just recently inherited a small (25+ users) Exchange server that
I
will be responsible for.  I have some basic understanding of Exchange
but I
was looking for any suggestions or recommendations on what basic
maintenance things I should be doing on a regular basis.  The server is
backup up each night using Backup Exec with the Exchange agent.


Thanks in advance,

SMTP mail to exchange help

[RZorz]

Title: SMTP mail to exchange help





My sql product utilizes the IIS SMTP service to allow e-mail.  II4, nt4, sp6a.  The exchange server is 5.5, sp3, nt5 sp5. 

A couple months ago I changed our ip addresses when we changed ISPs. Frankly the e-mail capability wasn't utilized very much, so no one noticed it wasn't working. 

I think the exchange server is supposed to allow relaying from this server. Maybe I haven't configured it correctly? 


Here's what the .rtr file shows:
Connection to [nn.nnn.nnn.2] with Ip Address nn.nnn.nnn.2 failed from sharla.scottsdalechamber.com-nn.nnn.nnn.6
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Server received Winsock error Connection timed out.


The .2 ip address is the exchange server. The .6 ip address is the sql server which is also running IIS/smtp.

My exchange server went weird on me over the weekend.


I am getting lots of Dr. Watson's and error messages when I try to start
various services in exchange. The errors are all 7000 and 7001 Service
Control Manager. I can start the services manually and things work fine.
Antigen and Backup Exec both crash if I try to access them from their admin
screens otherwise those services manually also. I can start BE 8.6 but the
backup fails and the BE server services goes offline.


The machine can browse to other machines but it cannot talk to the machines
i.e. send SNMP or RPC messages.


In addition on boot I get RPCSS.exe entry point not found, isamain entry
point not found, etc for about 6 services when ever the machine is rebooted.


Checked TechNet but could not find any real help.


This may not be an Exchange 5.5 running NT4 sp6a+ issue but thought I would
seek your help.


Any ideals. I am about ready to call MS PSS.

Well nuts. Now that I got the SMTP server to finally work, I'm getting 550 Relaying Prohibited errors.  Exchange 5.5, sp2.

Maybe I don't understand the Routing Restrictions tab.  I've got a fairly simple setup - 1 exchange server - .2, and now a smtp server on the same network - .6

Don't I just put the .6 address in the Hosts and Clients with these IP Addresses?

Well nuts. Now that I got the SMTP server to finally work, 
I'm getting 550 Relaying Prohibited errors.  Exchange 5.5, 
sp2.
Maybe I don't understand the Routing Restrictions tab.  
I've got a fairly simple setup - 1 exchange server - .2, and now a smtp 
server on the same network - .6
Don't I just put the .6 address in the Hosts and Clients

Hello,


A user is complaining that she cannot send emails to a particular email
address.  She receives the following 'Undeliverable message'


 Unable to deliver the message due to a communications failure


Could this possibly mean that there is something wrong on their recipients
end?  I don't see anything wrong on our Exchange server.  I don't think it's
a relaying problem.

In my world it is part of doing your job. no one knows everything. If
you don't call tech support when you need to. And you worked for my high
tech company, you would be fired.


Sounds like a sign of weakness and arrogance. No badge of honor to me. I

just sitting at our information store and so, if they are archived, our
backup/restore times should improve.


Is there a product that will do archival for both Microsoft Exchange and a

It's one of those great discussions.  I personally try to unsubscribe to as many as I can.  Sometimes you can "view source" and go right to the unsub screen.  

If the e-mails shouldn't be going to someone else (like their replacement, manager,etc.) you can create a DL called "Ex-employees" and add the addresses to the smtp address list.  They just "disappear".

Hello,


We have deleted approximately 100 mailboxes that belonged to former
employees.  Our "administrator" mailbox usually received all Inbound mail
failures.  Many of these email failures are due to users subscribing to
various email services like horoscopes, daily sports news, marketing news,
job news etc.  Is there a way to block these emails from evening entering
our Exchange server?  We get a ton of Inbound Failure messages everyday and
99percent of them are just useless listings that former employees had
subscribed to.  What is the best way to prevent these Inbound Mail Failure
messages?  Do you recommend putting all of these email address in Message
Filtering?  Is there a better option?


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing yet, the AIAG has a program where they embed them in tires so 
when a car rolls off the line it passes in front of the reader which captures 
the VIN and the serial numbers of the tires.  Then, when there's a recall, 
they can easily figure out where the bad tires went.  We're considering 
doing the same thing in our transmissions and other key components we 
produce.  No concrete plan yet, just a lot of ideas.

Seems

patients so they don't "lose them".

The 
technology behind it is very basic, the antenna energizes the tag which 
broadcasts out it's data back to the antenna.  The data is formatted 
similarly to a PDF 417 bar code if your familiar with 2-D symbologies.  The 
tags will carry up to 1 or 2 K of data and are read-write.  The Maine 
Turnpike uses similar technology to manage toll accounts.  You can buy toll 
access at a discounted rate ($50 worth of travel for $40) and the RFID device 
decrements whenever you enter the highway.  An LCD warns you when you're 
low on cash.  Commercial accounts carry no cash, the transactions build up 
on the host and you get a monthly bill for travel.  Like my snow blower, 
when it's working, it's the best thing since sliced bread.

  Nothing yet, the AIAG has a program where they embed them in tires so 
  when a car rolls off the line it passes in front of the reader which captures 
  the VIN and the serial numbers of the tires.  Then, when there's a 
  recall, they can easily figure out where the bad tires went.  We're 
  considering doing the same thing in our transmissions and other key components 
  we produce.  No concrete plan yet, just a lot of 
  ideas.

It's one of those

If the e-mails 
shouldn't be going to someone else (like their replacement, manager,etc.) you

Hello, 
We have deleted 
approximately 100 mailboxes that belonged to former employees.  Our 
"administrator" mailbox usually received all Inbound mail failures.  Many of these 
email failures are due to users subscribing to various email services like 
horoscopes, daily sports news, marketing news, job news etc.  Is there 
a way to block these emails from evening entering our Exchange server?  We 
get a ton of Inbound Failure messages everyday and 99percent of them are just 
useless listings that former employees had subscribed to.  What is the best way 
to prevent these Inbound Mail Failure messages?  Do you recommend putting 
all of these email address in Message Filtering?  Is there a better 
option? 

Any suggestions 
would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully someone out there has some ideas about this.  Here's the scenario:


NT 4.0 SP6a Server w/Exchange 5.5 SP3
User with 9x (still, I know, but soon to be win2k) and outlook 2000 -  the
user is actually our site manager and VP.


About 6 months ago, his previous administrative assistant left the company.
She had been set up with permissions to access his mailbox, and also had
"send on behalf of" permissions.  Her user account and mailbox have been
long since deleted.  Here comes the weird part.  Ever since she left,
whenever a meeting request or appointment is sent to this site manager, a
delivery failure notification is sent back saying that the mail could not be
delivered to the following recipient:  .  We
have searched and have not been able to find anything we could do short of
moving his emails to a .pst, deleting the mailbox and recreating and
reimporting his emails.  If anyone has other ideas, that would be extremely
helpful.  If more information is needed, I will strive to provide it.

Has anyone used this tool?
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q296/0/88.ASP  It
sounds like there is no way to recover all the data in the PST file.  If
that is the case, does anyone know of any other tools that allow you to
recover all the data?


Also, according to the article, you have to call MS to get it.  Is that
because it's not free?

  I'm looking for utility (if any of this

  mail boxes (some up to 600Mg) and what I did find, most of the mail in it has

  e-mails, I prefer to find a way to save them not manually.

We 
are encountering a bit of a problem with Exchange at the moment. We have 
noticed  that some users have received blank messages from internal and 
external clients as well as having complaints that they are too sending 
them.
 
Also, we have found at then end of last week 
messages were arriving in different mailboxes despite having the recipients 
address in the TO field.
 
Has anybody experienced anything like at all as we 
are at a loss as to what it could be.

From

originally looking to do:  Either reject outright a message without a 
mailbox, or simply not send an NDR for a message without a 
mailbox.

contents of the Fax field and email will no longer bring up the Fax contact
but this also means that you can not store fax numbers in your contacts. It
seems that there should be a way to disable the feature so you can maintain
fax numbers for your contacts and not be forced to choose the email contact

I have

creation based on a certain field in the Directory. For instance, you can create 
a DL of "All users on ServerA" or "All Mailboxes in the London Office" etc. All 
it needs is the data to be in the Directory (which is another story). Drop me a

RE: RAS users can't do Exchange Authentication

Title: RE: RAS users can't do Exchange Authentication





IIRC, the RAS client also doesn't get all the info from DHCP like you think it would.  Do an ipconfig/all on the ras client and see what shows up.

My remote users were dialing in to an NT 4.0 RAS server making a tcp/ip

I was sent this tip by a collegue.  Not sure what it means by "send all" as
I can't find an operation like this in MS Outlook.  I guess it really
depends on how the virus executes the operation.


Combat that Computer Virus:
Intermedia has provided this handy hint for combating the spread of computer
viruses:


Create a contact in your email address book with the name
"! Virus Attack" with no email address


This address shows up as the initial contact.  If a virus attempts to do a
"send all" to your contact list, your PC will provide an error message
saying:


"The message could not be sent.  One or more recipients do not have an
email address.  Please check your Address Book and make sure all
the recipients have a valid email address"


Click on "OK" and the offending (virus) message will not have been sent to
anyone.  Do not make any changes to your original contacts list.


The offending (virus) message can then be moved to your "Drafts" or "Outbox"
folder.  Go there and delete the offending message.  The virus has not been
disseminated and the potential problem is solved.

Agreed. If there is a budget you will be constrained by that. Sometimes 
though the people with the purse strings have no idea how much things cost and 
will ask IT to provide a quote. In that case, you can price a system based on 
the specs you suggest as opposed to the specs available to you within a certain 
price.
 
I 
don't know how you managed to get your HP workable with those specs, but well

Yes, I realized that after I sent it.  The real problem is that I am

track each bounce and manually add it to the distribution list.  More
preferably, I would like to block (issue a reject) the message before
it even gets into the input queue.  This might discourage the

From the comments here, it seems that you can't set up exchange 5.5 to

what I was originally looking to do:  Either reject outright a message
without a mailbox, or simply not send an NDR for a message without a
mailbox.


This seems to be what I am hearing?  Is this correct?

400 users or a 1000 users, it doesn't particularly matter.  If you have the
disk space, leave the database alone.


As an example, a rater recent one I might add, I ran eseutil (the hard
repair) on a DB the other night.  Now granted, they didn't have any backups
so they were already up sh!t creek without a paddle.  When all was said and
done, they wound up losing emails and some attachments.  This utility is a
very nasty beast, so one should exercise extreme caution when running it.


Of course, they now have fully functional and reliable backups.  For some
reason, some lovely admin thought you should use BE with the Exchange Agent,
backup all of the exchsrvr directories, do the online backups, do brick
level backups, and last but not least have circular logging enabled.
Needless to say, sparks were shooting out of mine eyes...

If you have a fairly static environment then there is no reason that the db

situation where 50 odd mailboxes had been removed from the store and the db
did not shrink.  This is to be expected because the online defrag cannot

don't 
think that's possible Michele...

 

 

Michael - 
In 5.5 there are a whole set of new P2 and P1 resolve settings you can add into 
the registry(Q174755). In Exchange 2000 check out 
Q288635.

 

This 
should resolve your problem.

why not require them to use properly

Exchange can handle 2 domains. I've got 2 here. I've got MX records for both, pointing to the single exchange server.

Subject: Hosting Multiple Domians with 1 server



We have 2 small (less than 10 total users in each) offices that need to have
access to an exchange server.  Does anyone have any reccomends on setting up
one server to host email for both domains?

Sorry.  If you don't accomplish, they don't accomplish.  That's 
why I come in a 2am or the weekend to upgrade the server instead of doing it 
during the day.  In my organization, I don't sell, interact with customers, 
etc. I am a 100% cost center.  IT is supposed to be the solution, not the 
problem.  Time is your Users most precious commodity.  Your job is to 
make sure they can get their job done, so you can get a paycheck. 

 
IT 
should be like a great waiter -  stuff should just magically appear 
when you need it.

 you couldn't be more 
wrong... Time has to be the most important commodity. Without it you can't help 
everyone as needed. If you don't plan.. you don't accomplish. Doesn't get any 
simpler than that.

Time 
is not the most important IT commodity.  The point of IT is not to 
stand around and thump your chest and declare yourself king.  Your job is 
to do what you can to alleviate a problem as simply, quickly and cost 
effectively as possible.   If you're any good, most of the time you 
can.  Sometimes you can't.  That's why you ask questions on these 
lists.
 
That 
being said, I think it's about time for Kevin Snook to chime in:  
"I 
have a utility (how many messages do I start like 
this)"

Unfortunately Michele you don't get it IMHO... 
 
To 
almost all IT professionals time is the MOST important commodity. If you did get 
it, then why would you spend spare time(that is rare and almost non-existent in 
the 10+ years I've been doing this) fixing a problem you've already corrected at 
the Exchange level. Seems like duplication of effort.
 
I 
understand it's still "not right" as the scripts should be corrected. But why 
would the IT professional need to do this??? He/She didn't write the bad 
code??
 
I'd 
make THEM fix it while I spent my precious "spare time" doing something more 
constructive like exploring XP, Learning MSI, etc...

No, I get it now.  
thankyouverymuch.  and I agree that a workaround is appropriate in this 
case.
 
but, knowing that they're 
wrong would irritate me enough that I'd fix it anyway, even while using the 
workaround in the meantime.

The problem is that we 
have over 100 different clients sites with over 20 
different programmers with over 10 different managers.  Do you get the idea now.  It is going 
to take me weeks just to get the info out to the field of what they have been 
doing wrong in the past.  Then I 
will have to justify why it's wrong to use a first and last name instead of an 
email address, so on and so on.
 
I am just trying to 
find a way to force Exchange to misbehave long enough for me to fix the real 
problem, ignorance. 
 
Otherwise, I have to 
dust off my Linux and sendmail books which I really, 
really, really don't want to do...

You're right that the P2 and P1 
stuff will probably solve his problems, but why wouldn't it be possible for the 
forms to be coded to generate correct 
addresses?

Title: RE: (Slightly) Saving Outlook Email to text





We have some parsing software that we've used in the past. It was cheap, and they'll help you set up the template.  Of course, it means the e-mail has to have some consistency. I might be able to dig it up again.

Subject: OT:(Slightly) Saving Outlook Email to text



Here's the deal. I'm using webtrends to create reports for our website. The
log files are emailed to me inline (not as attachments but as the body of
the email). Webtrends can't read the email directly so I save them to .txt
files. The solution I would like to work out could go two ways.


1. Select all of the outlook messages containing log files and save to one
txt file periodically. This option almost works now except that the logs get
saved from  newest --to--  oldest. Which webtrends doesn't
like. It needs oldest to newest. If there is a way to reverse this order it
would be perfect. (I've tried sorting both ways by date..no luck).


2. Create a batch file that automatically goes in and extracts the subject
from new emails and drops it into a txt file. Is there a command line
available to put this in a bat file?


Outlook 2000 by the way.
