RE: Clustering
I have a similar concern at my agency that Bill seems to have. My management is deathly afraid of losing our email capability and has asked me to come up with alternatives to provide redundancy. I've never worked with clustering, but I assume the concept is to provide failover capability. So, what is the best way to provide assurance of minimal email downtime (less than 30 minutes) in the event of a server failure, or is that a pipe dream if you have a catastrophic failure?

MTA looping
I am running exchange 5.5, SP4 on NT4, 6a server. Lately, I have had a few emails get kicked back to senders with the following MTA looping error message: The following recipient(s) could not be reached: Joe smith on 3/13/2002 12:05 PM The recipient was detected looping within the message transfer service The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=US;a= ;p=ORGANIZATION;l=VASRV2-020313170505Z-27464 MSEXCH:MSExchangeMTA:HQDA:DADC012 My event log also has a lot of the following warnings: Event Type: Warning Event Source: MSExchangeMTA Event Category: Interface Event ID: 4283 Date: 3/14/2002 Time: 8:09:04 AM User: N/A Computer: VASRV2 Description: Unable to recognize an internal message identifier. Internal connection handle (LPI) 1-15-2 Error code: 8464 [POP4 POP4 UP 7 228] (14) I am not sure if the looping is related to the event ID 4283 MTA warning. I'd like to resolve both issues but the mail looping seems to be the bigger issue right now. Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance.

public folder properties
I am running exchange 5.5, SP4 on NT4, 6a with Outlook 2000 clients. Another site in my exchange org created a public folder containing a contact list. My users can open the public folder contact list and see the entries. However, my users are not able to open the properties on the folder, Outlook address book tab, to show the contact list as an address book (users in the site that owns the public folder can open the properties on the folder). When we try to open the properties we get an error message saying 'can't display folder properties...' We have verified that replication has taken place between the two sites, and my users have 'author' permissions on the folder. We can add new contacts to this folder, so it doesn't seem to be a permissions issue. There is no trust relationship between the two sites-didn't think there had to be though. Any ideas why my users can't view the folder properties? Thanks in advance for the help Ken List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
MTA Warning
I have Exchange 5.5, SP4 installed on an NT4, 6a server. For the past week I have been getting a lot of warnings in my event viewer (see below). This morning I've logged about 20, occurring at random intervals from 2 minutes to 20 minutes apart. Technet has this exact event ID, but the solution is to install SP4, which I have already done. Other than the log entries, I haven't noticed any problem with the server operation-mail is all flowing normally, but I feel like the other shoe is getting ready to drop soon. Can you point me to some other troubleshooting paths that I can look at. Thanks much for the help.

messagewise message?
I am getting the following message via email from my exchange server 5.5 SP4, NT4 SP6a. the message gets repeated about once every 2 minutes. MessageWise.Public IS disk % free space = -1 I've never seen this message before. Can anyone tell me what it means. I have a server monitor and 2 link monitors set up to notify me via email and page when things go south. Since the message came via email, I assume it was generated by one of the monitors. I have approx 10 public folders (less than 3MB total space) that get replicated out to a sister site in the next state. I looked at the disk space on the server, and there is LOTs of free space, and mail is flowing normally. Thanks Ken List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

public folder contacts list
Exchange 55, SP4, all NT4 network I created a public folder that contains a contacts list with names for all of our internal and external customers. I replicate this public folder to another site that we do business with. This remote site can view the contacts list, but they can NOT select properties for the folder. When they do so, they get a grey screen saying the properties for the folder are unavailable. I have set default client permissions to reviewer for the folder from within Exchange Admin. I also gave default publishing editor permissions to users from the actual public folder in Outlook. If users can't see the properties for the folder, they are unable to go into the contacts list Outlook Address Book tab and check the box to make the list an address book, which prevents them from setting this contacts list as a folder in the addressing tab of exchange server properties. What am I doing wrong that is preventing the remote users from seeing the properties for this folder?

OWA login
Exchange 5.5 SP3, NT4, 6a. I submitted this question earlier today-thanks to those that provided ideas. After further troubleshooting, the situation has changed slightly so I am asking again. When ANY normal users login to OWA they get an error message saying failed to connect to Microsoft exchange server. Anyone with admin privileges can login normally. The IUSR account has logon locally and access this machine from network privileges on the OWA local machine. Everyone has change permissions on the exchsrvr\webdata and exchsrvr\webtemp directories. It sure sounds like a permissions issue preventing normal users from accessing OWA, but I can't figure out what else to check. Help?

new users don't get a calendar
When I create new user mailboxes, the mailbox does not have a calendar, contacts, drafts, journal, or notes folder. I am running NT4 with 6a and Exch 55 with SP3. From within Outlook I can go in and add a calendar folder for these users, and users can add items to the new calendar, but no one else can view the calendar from their own workstations, regardless of permissions set. Last week I upgraded from standard edition to enterprise for Exchange--not sure if that had any bearing on this problem, but in the past I have always been able to create normal mailboxes with all of the standard folders.
