Offline Address Book.

[Robin Lawrie]

Users in a child domain using Outlook 2000 cannot download an Offline
Address Book (OAB) when configured to use offline folders.

The child domain has its own Exchange 2000 server as does the root
domain, which is the domain responsible for generating the OAB.

In Outlook 2000, users cannot select the GAL to download. There are no
other address books or lists setup as OAB's.

Users in the root domain have no problem downloading this.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Domains are all Win2K Native Mode. E2k in both domains. Outlook 2000
used in both domains.

Thanks,

Robin.

RE: Server sizing

[Robin Lawrie]

30 users isn't that many for an Exchange server but your hardware
configuration really depends on a lot of factors such as the type of
users you'll have (i.e. heavy users/light users), volume of traffic
received, what other services will be running on the exchange server
(i.e. virus scanner, email filter etc.) and of course how much cash
you've got!!

For a recommendation of a basic server with no additional
services/software, I would say get 512MB RAM, a 1Ghz processor and some
fast disks that are at lease mirrored for redundancy purposes. This will
do adequately for you for a long time and also allows for future growth
of your company.

RE: Ed Crowley Server Move Method

[Robin Lawrie]

You just need to make sure that you install all the service packs for
Exchange 5.5 if your going to install it on a Win2k server. AD is not
needed. When you run setup from the Exchange 5.5 cd, you will get an
error message basically saying that the setup program won't
run/shouldn't be run on the server but just ignore this and continue
with the installation. Then install SP4 and away you go

Subject: Ed Crowley Server Move Method


Hi

I am currently running Exch 5.5 sp4 on a NT 4.0 sp6a + Hot fixes. This
machine was the 1st NT machine in the company and was originally
configured
as a PDC. Exch 5 was then installed on this box (before my time) and has
since been upgraded to 5.5. Since then I have added other NT 4 servers
several of which are Domain Controllers and one has been promoted to the
PDC
and the Exch box now functions as a BDC.

I am installing HP LH 3000 that I want to migrate my Exch 5.5 to (not
anywhere ready for E2k) both for performance issues and getting Exch 5.5
off
a Domain Controller. I was going to install NT 4 on the HP but now think
that putting W2K may be the better choice. However, it will be the only
W2k
server in the environment, no AD and a member server of the NT4 Domain.

After the server is up running in the Domain, I would then install the
Ex
5.5 and Sp4 and follow the "E.C." server move method.

Are there any pitfalls in my plan that I am not recognizing ?

If I do take this path of migration am I creating any added
problems/issues
down the road when we want to upgrade to E2K ?

Thanks

I like trend micros program, but the viruswall

Not that any of the others are much 
better.
 
Overall the trend is fairly stable, I havent

Record high was about 1million messages in a

This is with the emanagement software

filters leave a little bit to be desired.  Watch out when you turn 
on the melissa stopper.  It stops ALL email to from or about 
anyone named melissa.  Not a big deal since the virusscanner part 
will catch it, just dont try to save the cpu cycles by having the emanager 
stop those messages!  They also update the spam filter regularly (with 
an auto update) so I suggest checking exactly what it is filtering, who 
knows, it might be filtering out mail you SHOULD be getting

Title: RE: Server sizing



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've not read all of this email so I may be repeating what has already
been said, so apologies if that is the case, but there are 2 things you

You can set up a 'catch-all' postmaster account that would receive these

addresses to other mailboxes, i.e. the administrators.

Yes, I realized that after I sent it.  The real problem is that I am
up to over 60 non-existent e-mail addresses.  I don't want to have to
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
spammers.

You don't need to do anything to let exchange know there is a
demand-dial connection. The very nature of the demand-dial connection
are that it will dial your ISP whenever it needs to. You just need to
configure your SMTP Connector as normal then create a Demand-dial

I've not read all of this email so I may be repeating what has already
been said, so apologies if that is the case, but there are 2 things
you
can do.

You can set up a 'catch-all' postmaster account that would receive
these
emails, or you can add these email addresses as secondary proxy email
addresses to other mailboxes, i.e. the administrators.

Yes, I realized that after I sent it.  The real problem is that I am
up to over 60 non-existent e-mail addresses.  I don't want to have to
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
spammers.

You'll be able to recover this if deleted item retention is turned on.
Otherwise, if the message was sent internally, it will be in the sent
items folder of the sender (if they haven't deleted) or if it was sent
externally, you may have some joy with your Internet Mail Connector

If you have deleted item retention set up on the server then he can go

RE: Non-existant Exch Server

[Robin Lawrie]

There is no simple reg hack for this. The details of the server are
stored in AD so it needs to be removed from here.

Do you have any other exchange servers other than the one you fixed? If
so, the best way to remove the server from AD is to find the server in
Exchange System Manager and delete it from here.

My feeling though is that this is your only exchange server in which
case this may not be the solution to your problem but just check
anywaysince AD stores this info and you've rebuilt Exchange
server, the old server may still appear in ESM.

If not, you need to delete the old exchange server from AD manually.
This is very dangerous though so use caution here. I can't give you the
exact answer, but I suggest you use ADSI Edit and look under the
Configuration Container/Services/Microsoft Exchange and look for
instances of your old server and delete them.

Please remember, this is an off-the-top-of-my-head thought. Search
TechNet and Knowledge base for supported resolutions to your problem. I
have included this idea as I'm sure any answer MS will provide will be
along these lines.

RE: Remote connectivity problem Using the Outlook client.

[Robin Lawrie]

Are the users home machines that they're logging in from on the domain
or are they standalone machines? If they are on the domain, are the
usernames and passwords that they log onto the machine with the same as
their network username and password? If not, or if the machines are not
on the domain, then it could be that when Outlook starts and tries to
connect to the Exchange server, it is passing the credentials of the
locally logged on user to Exchange. Exchange doesn't recognise these
users and so doesn't allow a connection. What you need to do in Outlook
is define what network logon credentials to use.

In Outlook on the users home PC's, select Tools, Services. Select
Microsoft Exchange Server, then click Properties and select the Advanced
Tab. Where you get the drop down box for Network Logon Credentials,
select None and ok everything.

Now, when you start up Outlook, you will be prompted for your username,
password and domain. Enter your network details and you should get in.

RE: Internet Newsgroups

[Robin Lawrie]

I don't think you can delete it in Exchange 2000 (I know you couldn't in
Exchange 5.5), but you can make it invisible to clients my changing the
permissions on the folder in Exchange System Manager or Outlook (if you
have the right permissions).

RE: Remote connectivity problem Using the Outlook client.

[Robin Lawrie]

The only way that the users could log onto the machine itself using the
network credentials, is if the machine is a member of the domain. If the
machine isn't, then it  has to be done this way.

I'd be interested to see this Q article.

Are the users home machines that they're logging in from on the domain
or are they standalone machines? If they are on the domain, are the
usernames and passwords that they log onto the machine with the same as
their network username and password? If not, or if the machines are not
on the domain, then it could be that when Outlook starts and tries to
connect to the Exchange server, it is passing the credentials of the
locally logged on user to Exchange. Exchange doesn't recognise these
users and so doesn't allow a connection. What you need to do in Outlook
is define what network logon credentials to use.

In Outlook on the users home PC's, select Tools, Services. Select
Microsoft Exchange Server, then click Properties and select the Advanced
Tab. Where you get the drop down box for Network Logon Credentials,
select None and ok everything.

Now, when you start up Outlook, you will be prompted for your username,
password and domain. Enter your network details and you should get in.

Hi Robin,

Committed transactions in the transaction log file are copied to the
database when one of the following occurs:
* The checkpoint falls too far behind in a previous log file. If the
number
of committed transactions in the log files reaches a certain threshold,
ESE
will flush these changes to disk. 
* The number of free pages in memory becomes too low, possibly affecting
system performance. In this case, committed transactions in memory are
flushed to disk to free up pages in memory for system use. 
* Another service is requesting additional memory and ESE needs to free
up
some of the memory it is currently using. ESE flushes pages from memory
to
the database and then updates the checkpoint file. 
* The database service is shutting down. In this case, all updated pages
in
memory are copied to the database file. 
Bear in mind that pages are not copied from memory in any particular
order
and may not all be copied at the same time. The random order in which
the
pages are copied back to disk means that if there is a system crash
while
pages are being written to disk, the database file may have only
portions of
a committed transaction updated in the actual file. In this event, when
the
Store.exe process is started, the transaction will be replayed from the
transaction log files and the database will be updated completely.

My question is - why can you not do an online Backup? What reasons are
there
for not doing one? Are they failing for some reason? If possible, its
nice
to get the Backup Software to commit the logs to the DB :)

RE: Message deleted in one mail box but not the other - weird occurre nce

[Robin Lawrie]

The message that your having trouble with has been written using a
custom form.

When you send an email, your using a form. The form is the message form.
Outlook, (all versions I think), gives you the ability to design your
own forms and to use them instead of or as an alternative to the built
in forms.

For other users to be able to use a custom form though, it needs to be
installed on the recipients machine.

In your case, your don't have that form hence you cannot view the
content.

You should try to speak to the recipient to see if they can send the
message as a normal email using the built-in forms.

Don't know why you can't delete the message though although if you can't
see it in the questions mailbox then maybe it has been deleted ;-)

I got this message from a friend.


I have a user who uses to mailboxes. One for herself and the other in
which
people send questions about the organization.   She is able to see a
message
subject in her secondary mailbox (the one with questions) but not the
message and is unable to delete the message. She did read the message
when
it originally arrived just not now.   When she click on the message to
open
it - it said "Custom form could not be used. Outlook will use a outlook
form
instead. Then in the preview pane it states " The item contains active
content which cannot be displayed. She can not delete the message.

The really weird thing is that the message does not show up in the
questions mailbox. Logging into that mailbox does not show the message.
Over a day gone by and all other messages before and after that one is
normal.

Oh yeah exchange 5.5, outlook 2K.

HTML isn't used to make a custom form, but a custom form can contain

Can you actually see the message in the mailbox? I don't know why it

Why does the message not show up when the mail box is opened by the
exchange
admin? All other messages show up but that one.

I agree that it is probably a custom form (it did have some HTML) but it
was
read once and now cannot be read.

The message that your having trouble with has been written using a
custom form.

When you send an email, your using a form. The form is the message form.
Outlook, (all versions I think), gives you the ability to design your
own forms and to use them instead of or as an alternative to the built
in forms.

For other users to be able to use a custom form though, it needs to be
installed on the recipients machine.

In your case, your don't have that form hence you cannot view the
content.

You should try to speak to the recipient to see if they can send the
message as a normal email using the built-in forms.

Don't know why you can't delete the message though although if you can't
see it in the questions mailbox then maybe it has been deleted ;-)

I got this message from a friend.


I have a user who uses to mailboxes. One for herself and the other in
which
people send questions about the organization.   She is able to see a
message
subject in her secondary mailbox (the one with questions) but not the
message and is unable to delete the message. She did read the message
when
it originally arrived just not now.   When she click on the message to
open
it - it said "Custom form could not be used. Outlook will use a outlook
form
instead. Then in the preview pane it states " The item contains active
content which cannot be displayed. She can not delete the message.

The really weird thing is that the message does not show up in the
questions mailbox. Logging into that mailbox does not show the message.
Over a day gone by and all other messages before and after that one is
normal.

Oh yeah exchange 5.5, outlook 2K.
Any ideals?

RE: Need help moving Exchange database log files

[Robin Lawrie]

To Move Log Files (from Q257184)
 
1. Start Exchange System Manager.
2. Locate the Administrative Group.
3. Open the properties on the Storage Group for which you want to change
log file paths.
4. On the General tab, change the Transaction Log Location by clicking
Browse, and then specifying a new drive or directory location for the
log files.

I need to move the exchange database logging files (edb and mdb)

An error showed up on Bup Exec yesterday that it could not backup the
Information stores because the log files had been moved or deleted after
I
tried to move a users mailbox and import it on to the Exchange server.
This filled up the c: drive (he had 2000 messages) with loging files in
mdbdata and shut down the Exchange services.  So I moved the log files
to
the d: drive temporarily to get exchange running.  If I move them back
c:\

Do you know if Exchange 2000 comes with an equivalent of the Perf

the log files and database files should be kept so didn't include the

You're

In AD, 
what you need to do is bring up the properties of the Universal DL and go to the 
Security tab. In here, add the two users who want to be able to Send As that DL, 
and for each user tick the Send As permissions box. Wait for replication to 
occur between your domain controllers in the site (if you have more than one) 
and then get those users to log off and then log back onto the

  That outlook uses MAPI and the client is a member

I have basically the same setup as you except my IS is 13GB. I back it
up
using the Exchange agent and checking the BENT logs it takes 28 minutes
to
back up the IS. However, I also backup my DS and perform a verify on
both so
the entire backup job takes about 50 minutes (Full Backup of
IS+DS+verify).

Scenario:  Exchange 5.5 on NT, being backed up with Veritas Backup Exec
8.5.1, on NT as well.  IS is approx 5G.  Servers are both plugged into a
100 MB switch.

Question:  The IS is backing up in 20 minutes.  Is this too fast?  Are
others getting the same backup speeds?

Yes unless your smtp mail is coming in on a different port (which is
very
unlikely). Depending on your firewall I would have port 25 be able to go
to
that specific computer ipaddress. If you plan to run OWA you can still
use
SSL and port 443 with a Linux firewall.

Not to get into an argument but MS Proxy is not really and firewall and
your
Linux Firewall will probably increase your security 90% or more.

We use it quite successfully, but only subject to the following:
1)  We also do a full regular backup each night
2)  We have a backup window than allows both BLB and full backup
each
time
3)  We have enough space on the tapes for BLB and full backups
4)  We use Veritas (not ArcServe!)
5)  We have a long deleted item retention period (90 days) so
individual
message recovery is rarely needed.
6)  It has never caused any faults
7)  It is regularly tested

You may wonder why we bother with BLB when we have such a long deleted
item
retention period:
a)  It is occasionally handy to restore an individual email without
using a separate "restore server"
b)  Restoring an single email can be quicker - "hero factor" when
someone's in trouble!
c)  Gives a "belt and braces" approach to backup

I would _never_ recommend only doing BLB, but if 1-7 above are all OK
then
it can be useful.  I think if you restore from a full backup, exmerge a
couple of emails out of the restore and then into the production server,
you
lose SIS for these emails.  For a full restore I'd always use the full
backup not the BLB.

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Andrew.

from the archives 
**
The Top Ten Reasons why William Doesn't recommend Brick-level backups:

10. The only product he's tried it with is ArcServeIT (*shudder*)
9. Brick-level backups should be done in conjunction with regular
backups
therefore duplicating the process.
8. Brick-level backups don't clear the transaction logs
7. Brick-level restores (esp of the entire store) are VERY slow
6. Brick-level restores result in loss of Single Instance Storage
5. Brick-level backups do not properly maintain all of the data
structures
in the store that you might need for a full restore (at least Computer
Associates product doesn't).
4. The alternative is so much easier and cleaner - deleted item
retention.
Set deleted item retention to say 30 days, a little user education and
they
can do their own  mailbox' restore.
3. Regular use of exmerge (to pst files for backup) for important
mailboxes
is another alternative.
2. Section 3.11 at: 
says
so (ok, I don't do everything I'm told either).
1. The archives at the Exchange list at swynk.com are full of
Brick-level
horror stories.

-William Lefkovics, MCSE, A+  (and a brand new Exchange MVP!)
**
Brick Level Backups will not cause your car to rust out or your hair to
fall
out.  They are unlikely to make your system less reliable (but no
guarantees
there), nor make your normal non-brick-level backups less reliable.
They
do, however, use more tape, make your backup jobs take more time and
wear
your tape drive out faster.  They give you a false sense of security
that
you can get something back when in fact you may not.  And you often
cannot
get everything back from a brick level backup.

Brick Level Backup is a kludgy crutch

Are

this is a weird question to ask but just checking a low chance

I am a fully signed up member of the CA bashing bandwagon and for the

ArcserveIT
Exchange agent at our HQ has never ever given me a clean backup in a
year,
there is always an error message or some small glitch. I do restore
fairly
regularly so it does work (although it's very tricky to restore as well)
but it's so inconsistent.

There is a Service Pack 2 for ArcserveIT 6.61 which I assume you are
using? You can get it from the CA site or I can mail it to you (11MB zip
file), you have to run it on both the backup server and the server with
the agent on it.

Bear in mind though that you will still have 10 users sharing a 128KB pipe to your

the user is effectively using Outlook in Minnesota and will have no way access their 
emails locally or if the link goes down or the ability to access them offline on a

Hello,

We are located in Minnesota, but do work with a firm in Malaysia.  Our
exchange server is here, and they vpn into our server and pull their
mail (POP3).

We are going to be upgrading to EXC2000 later this summer and at that
time are thinking it would be nice to have them using all the exchange
features (calander, task lists, etc,; not just pop mail.

We have a couple of users over there now and they can connect to the
Exchange server (5.5) using exchange services, but the Malaysia
connection is ISDN 128K shared among 10 users and it is painfully slow.

With EXC 2000 is it possible to setup an Exchange box over there that
syncs to our box here, and if so would that give them the access to all
our public folders, etc without the major lag.

RE: Very Remote Office

[Robin Lawrie]

I wouldn't recommend using Citrix unless the demands off the Malaysian office are that 
they only want to access their email when they're at work, they don't mind if the link 
goes down and they cannot access their email and they don't want to work with if 
offline.

You need to weigh up the pro's (existing knowledge of exchange, less traffic accessing 
email, ability to perform housework on your server without disrupting Malaysia) and 
con's (training on Citrix, cost of Citrix, user training, backup ISP, another 
application to troubleshoot etc etc), but based on what you've told us so far I would 
lean in favour of installing an Exchange 2K box out there. If you do decide to do this 
is would be worth that Exchange box having it's only IMS/IMC.

RE: Free/busy data error

[Robin Lawrie]

I assume from your last sentence that the original bridge head server (mailserver 1) 
is now off the network? Was Exchange removed from it or has it just been unplugged or 
switched off?

I think the problem may be that not all the public folders or some system folders were 
moved from mailserver 1 to mailserver 2 before it was removed. I had a problem like 
this a while ago so excuse the rather vague answer, but I do remember that Microsoft's 
Knowledge Base provided me with the answer.

The reason for my first question is that it should be easier to solve the problem if 
mailserver 1 is still available.

We had 2 exchange 5.5 servers in our NT environment.  One was the
bridgehead server (mailserver 1)that connected to our parent site.  Both
contained mailboxes.  I recently moved all users to non bridgehead server
(mailserver 2).  I made mailserver 2 the bridgehead server and almost
everything works great.  The problem is some users get the following
message:
Unable to update free/busy data.  The contents of this public folder are
currently unavailable.  Either the Microsoft Exchange Server computer
servicing this public folder is down or the public folder has not been
replicated to this server.

Also, when I try to access some Public folders, my Outlook XP client says
it's trying to connect to the former bridgehead.

I left the orignal bridgehead listed under sites in exchange admin because
I wanted to make sure everything worked properly.
Does anyone know what I need to do to resolve this?  I'm assuming I need
to bring the old bridgehead back up and move a role, just not sure what.

RE: Remote Offices

[Robin Lawrie]

You could put an Exchange server in each of those offices, but that may be too costly.

Another option would be that the users in those offices each have a separate POP mail 
account from a local ISP as well as their Exchange 2000 mail client. It's 
comparatively inexpensive but each remote office user would then have to manage 2 
email accounts.

Something else to consider may be to use an ASP.

The front end server can be setup on the DMZ as long as it can talk to the back end 
server and vice versa using the necessary tcp/udp ports. To begin with, I would 
recommend allowing all ports open both ways (don't allow any external clients access 
to the DMZ at this point, just in case) and turning logging on full for these rules so 
you can see what ports are being used and then adjust the rule base accordingly once 
you've finished configuring and testing the server.
