Gah, I'm an idiot. I reversed the intended sense in my statement.
I was trying to be sarcastic with the Amazingly, and so reinforced
the confusion.
MPG is better at 65 MPH than 80 MPH. How much, I'm not sure, but I
know I can use less gas if I drive less aggressively.
I do tend to drive aggressively. I also haven't had the plugs
changed in too long. And I'm an AC junky. So I typically get between
21 and 25 MPG in my 9-year-old Forrester. On all-highway trips when
it was new, 28 to 30 MPG, easily.
80 MPH is pushing the engine a bit, I think. Not oh my God it's
going to explode, but it's starting to whine a little. I got it up
to just over 90 MPH once, then concern for both road safety and the
engine won over and I backed off. The speedometer goes up to 120 MPH
but I think that's being optimistic. 90 was already getting close to
redline, and the engine sounded like a blender on puree. This is on
the 4-cylinder base engine. They have an H6 on some models that's
considerably beefier, or so I've read.
It's interesting to hear that some cars get lower MPG at higher
speeds. I wouldn't have expected that.

Re: Exchange on VM
It depends on your needs. I want to see if this has changed, but the RCs for Hyper-V had a minor problem when clustered and shifting to a second node. The short form of it was, while ESX could seamlessly transfer from one node to the next in a Vmotion move, Hyper-V would take a bit too long (couple of seconds, here), and lose connection state during the move. Not a deal breaker by any means, unless maintaining connection state is critical to you. I imagine that, for most folks (myself included), this won't be that big of a problem.

Re: Exchange 2000 OWA is open.
There is evidence in the Exchange security log that unwanted folks are trying to gain access via OWA and they want it to stop. As long as OWA is freely accessible, it WILL be attacked. If the business owners want it to stop, OWA _HAS_ to not be available publicly. An SSL VPN would take care of this, as it forces the authentication through a web accessible technology before anything else can occur. ISA would do something similar.

Re: IMF seems to have stopped working
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995865.aspx any help? In essence, uninstall and reinstall (although you can force the issue by manually registering the newest DLL.) Having multiple folders there is normal. In case you need to uninstall or backlevel an IMF update, the previous 3 or 4 (I forgot which) are also kept. There is a registry entry which lists which specific version is currently in use. Check the PackageVersion string in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Updates\Exchange Server 2003\SP3\KB907747 (it should be 2007.11.26 with the dates you list below). Also, if you are using a CustomWeightList file, try moving it OUT of the new folder, restarting the SMTP services, then moving it back. The CWL file is very finicky.

I understand that the other folders are placed there when I install updates to the IMF definitions. My question in regards to that is: Do I need to manually copy the .dat and .dll files to the main MSCFV2 folder, or does the system know where to find and use the latest version of these files? The two files in the main folder are dated 8/17/2005, and the latest version of these files in one of the subfolders is 11/14/2007.

RE: synchronizing of two exchnage servers
Read... a lot Exchange 2000 Enterprise Server in a Front End/Back End configuration Front End is your web server. all it has on it is a bare minimum OAW install. It is behind a firewall and locked down, with only ports 25, 80 and 443 open (prefereably only 443 for HTTPS access in addtion to SMTP.) Back End is your actual store. Standard security lockdown, behind the firewall. This is where the mailboxes are actually held. This machine is NOT directly accessible from the net. Connecting to OWA on the F/E Server automatically maps to the B/E mailboxes. No need for replication. Exchange 5.5 would be similar, except your F/E server just needs to be a machine with IIS 4+ on it.

RE: Theoretical question concerning SIS
Title: Message I'm trying to picture the havoc this would cause with regards to mailbox quotas, and it's not pretty. Scenario... If A, B, C, D and E each have a 20 MB quota, and they receive a 15 MB attachment, are they considered to each have at first 3 MB used, then 3.75 MB, then 5 MB, then 7.5 MB, and finally 15 MB used as people delete the attachment. Or is it considered 15 MB of quota used for each? If it's the first option, then users and admins have NO WAY TO DETERMINE if someone's at quota, near quota, or going to suddenyl see themselves over quota because somebody deleted an attachment.

Exchange 5.5 2. Outlook 2000 clients 3. No PST's. User A sends 1 100 Megabyte file to ten users. Because of SIS only 100 Megs of space was used on the Exchange server, not 1000. Each user will show that they are using 100 Megs of space, but my understanding is that there is onlyone 100 Meg file with 10 mailboxes pointing to it. Assuming I am correct with everything that I wrote: Why doesn't Exchangecharge, and Outlook display10 megabytes to each mailbox? Afterfive people delete the attachment (really the pointer to the SIS 100 Meg object), the remainingfive would each be charged 20 megabytes. That make any sense? My first instinct is that it would be just to damn complex. Any thoughts Guru's?

And once again the convenience vs. security debate is launched. The downside of Outlook was it's ability to execute some script attacks from the preview pane. This is solved somewhat in later versions and patches. And is defeated through a percentage of end-users inability to control their double-click. ANY OS that has file execution associations can be hit by a virus. Both KDE and GNOME are building this functionality into their interface and as such will also be subject to this kind of attack. It is more effectively solved by preventing the executable type files from passing through your server in the first place. If someone wants to email an executable, they can zip it. At least then it is a two stage process for infection and the local desktop anti-virus sw has a shot at the new virus that your Exchange servers anti-virus missed. Even if an end user is infected (floppy, etc) they mail bomb's their own email box as the server refuses to send those attachment types internally as well.

RE: Looking for Advice...
My understanding is... if it ONLY went offline (IOW, no DR needed to be done), then it'll resync. If ANY DR work was done, then it'll still Re-synch, but the server contents will take priority. He could, lacking a good DR procedure at Corporate, export the OSTs to PST PRIOR to bringing the server back online, then re-import messages depending on whether anything's missing. OSTs, apparently, can become corrupt, just like PSTs. SO... it should work, but let's not assume it will :) No reason to let Corporate off the hook for shoddy backup/restore procedures. -Original Message- From: Chris Peden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 15:49 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Looking for Advice...

OK, first I have to say that I'm not an exchange expert. I'm not the exchange admin for our company so I am quite the newbie here. Here's the story: Last week our one and only exchange server crashed and we were without email for most of the week. All clients were setup to look at the server for email, no local pst files. So, when the server went down, all inbox, sent items, calendar, contacts, etc were gone. The admin at corporate, in another state, rebuilt the server (I think) but was not able to restore every one's mail back to pre-crash status. We were missing attachments, some email... When my remote users dialed in to get new mail, they synced with a nearly empty server and poof, no more old/saved mail. We were able to restore most of our saved mail but there is a lot gone and we accept that. What I would like to learn is how can I set up our Outlook clients so that if our email server crashes again, we don't lose all of our saved mail and related stuff. Most Outlook clients are Outllok 2000 with some XP sprinkled in for good measure.

RE: Transition from Cobalt Qube 2 to Exchange 5.5
The PSTs will remain as they are... They will not be automatically imported into the Exchange store, you will either have to do that manually for each client station, or maintain them as a secondary store. The easiest way to import the PSTs would be via EXMERGE. Set up the Exchange mailboxes, prime them with a welcome message of some form, and consolidate a copy of the PSTs into a single folder, naming them according to the mailbox alias in Exchange (IOW, if user Joe Blow's alias is JBlow, name his PST jblow.pst (case insensitive)). You can then automate the import via EXMERGE. DEFINITELY read the docs beforehand and plan out what will need to be done. Alternately, each user can import the PST contents themselves. File | Import, once their Exchange profiles are set up and their Exchange mailbox is the primary delivery location. What architecture are you looking at going to?

RE: Using OSTs for backup
Possible, yes... Recommended, no. In the event of a total system failure such as you describe, you would only be able to recover mailbox contents. No public folders, no distribution lists, no directory information (smtp addresses, etc.) Procedure might run something like this... Bring up client offline. Do NOT attempt to synch. Export data to PST (if you've had to rebuild the server, the pointers in the OST will be broken. I don't believe you'll be able to rebuild directory information from the OSTs alone). Import data to rebuilt Exchange server, via either client or EXMERGE. You would be MUCH better off with actual Disaster Recovery procedures. For the size of your IS, you could get by with an IDE based TR-4 solution (if you're only worried about restoring Exchange). About US$500 or so for the drive, plus $30 or so per 10/20GB media. Actually, re-reading the below, it might be best to also do a CSV directory export, so you can at least get your recipients up to match the OST-PST procedure quickly.

RE: Mail Gateway requres Windows 2000 Server on the Internet?

Wouldn't it work just as well behinda firewall with only port 25 open to the outside world? -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 17:00To: MS-Exchange Admin IssuesSubject: Mail Gateway requres Windows 2000 Server on the Internet? I'm currently in the process of trying to find a replacement for our current mail gateway/attachment filtering software. We use a product called Kinisphere, which is installed on NT Workstation that receives email, scans for attachment type and sends it onto an Exchange 5.5 Server that is sitting on the inside of our network. The process is reversed for outgoing mail. In looking at two of the most recommended products, Mail Marshall and Mail Essentials, I've noted that both require that they be installed on Windows 2000 Server (for the current versions). Now I'll admit to a healthy level of paranoia in my day to day work life, however the idea of having a Windows 2000 server out on the internet, scares me silly! Am I really being way too paranoid about this or is there really a safe way to put a Windows 2000 server out in the DMZ? How much care and feeding have ya'll been faced with? The company I work for tends to be quite conservative when trying to bring in new software (the idea of using Windows 2000 at all has management feeling quite uncomfortable). --LisaList Charter and FAQ at:http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

We only have a 9 gig drive, and that is home to both the file server and the mail. Small Business Server makes you keep everything in one box. When my priv.edb is a gig in size, and my users do a mail clean up, I can run eseutil and regain almost 500 megs of disk space. Why not add a disk? Run Performance Optimizer after adding the disk and relocate the DB and logs to the new disk, freeing up the original 9GB disk for just file serving. An 18GB Seagate SCSI disk has an SRP of $269 US. Cost that over a single years time of shutting down and doing off-line defrags and it's paid for itself. (example... Monthly offline = ~45 minutes, at whatever your determined hourly rate is, times 12. For me (and I'm low paid), that drive's paid for itself in uptime and time spent on othertasks in about a year. Heck, for the same cost, toss in a pair of 20-30GB IDe drives on an IDE RAID card running a straight mirror. Place your files and shares there, and leave Exchange on the 9GB with the OS. My priv.edb just keeps gaining in size, it doesn't seem to stay the same size and refill the empty space after users do a mail clean up. Are you conducting Online backups to flush the transaction logs? Do you have Deleted Item Retention enabled? if you're running offline defrags, it will ALWAYS increase in size immediately afterwards as there is no white space to be filled. Never mind file level defragmentation...

Here is what the scenario is: Internet -- Users -- Firewall -- Exchange On the Exchange side we have the DC's, Exchange, IMC, OWA, etc. servers. On the public side we have the Windows 98/2000 clients, WINS server (which is a whole different issue) and Internet. There is a firewall before the Internet connection but it is basically useless since nothing is configured. On the private side we are to use NAT, since all the servers except the backup server will need to be accessed from the outside I really don't see what this is buying us. Basically we are putting a firewall in front of Exchange. We are currently testing the configuration but I think this may end up being a nightmare once we begin to change the Windows 2000 servers (i.e. Active Directory) IP addresses and DNS settings to the private addresses. I began by making registry hacks to force the RPC's through specific ports but our backbone admin figured out how to configure the PIX firewall without me having to make the changes. Now I'm reinstalling the test server to see that it's actually working. Can anyone give me any ammo as to why this is not the way to do things. I have tried to explain but I'm getting nowhere. I don't know maybe I'm wrong. However it seems it would be safer to implement the firewall at the internet connection, we seem to be trying to protect ourselves from our users. There would be a lot of politics involved with the Internet firewall but it does seem like the way to go.
