Re: Upgrade of Patches
Upgrade of PatchesThe latest Service Pack for Exchange is SP4. Use Winver.exe to make sure your system is running SP6a and not just SP6. Also, visit http://www.microsoft.com/security and grab the Security Toolkit. Run HFNETCHK and make sure you have all necessary security patches. Then, visit http://www.windowsupdate.com and make sure you have all the latest updates from there. Finally, visit http://www.microsoft.com/download and make sure you have the latest downloads form Exchange and Windows from there, too. Hope this helps. -Scott - Original Message - From: Martey, Emmanuel E To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 5:41 AM Subject: Upgrade of Patches Hi guys, I am running Exchange 5.5 (Build 2650.24: ServicePack 3) on NT 4.0 server SP 6, with about 150 users.

HfNetChk 3.3 Beta Available
The Microsoft Network Security Hotfix Checker HFNetChk 3.3 beta is now available for download from Microsoft's Betaplace website. HFNetChk is a command-line tool that administrators can use to centrally assess a computer or group of computers for the absence of Microsoft security patches. This beta includes bug fixes and new features (discussed below) and is available to folks who've registered for the HFNetChk beta program. Those who've previously registered for the program will be receiving emails shortly that contain their username and passwords to access the download site. If you've not previously registered and would like to join the program and access the beta, please visit the Betaplace site and complete the beta program request form: http://www.betaplace.com Username: hfnetchkbeta Password: staysecure -- This beta release of HFNetChk introduces new features and corrects several known issues. New features: - New switches are available to specify username/password for scanning remote systems. - New switch is available for writing the output to a specified output file. (Note: this will overwrite, not append, data to the specified output file.) - It is now possible to scan the local machine when the Server Service has been disabled (or has not been installed.) - A warning message will be presented if the installed product is not running the latest available Service Pack. - IP addresses may be used when executing a scan from a Windows NT 4 system. (Note: remote system IP addresses must resolve to machine names in order for this feature to work from NT4 systems.) - To enhance performance, tab output (-o tab) is required when scanning more than 255 hosts. Fixes: - Fixed bug where domain controllers were identified as workstations instead of servers. As a result, not all available hotfixes would be displayed when scanning domain controllers. - Results will always include status on all installed products, even when a given product is up to date on patches. - Text alignment has been enhanced for wrap and tab output. - Enhanced error reporting when access is denied to a machine or there is an error in reading the remote system's registry. - Improved -d domain scanning - Improved support when scanning workgroups (using -d) - Improved memory management when performing large scans. - Improved recognition for SQL Server 2000 Server Service Packs. Additional features, such as scanning for Exchange or Office patches, are being considered for a future release of HFNetChk and are not included in this beta.

Re: Store.exe
Just to add to that.if you have a server with 1GB of RAM, store.exe will not consume 1GB of RAM. Exchange integrates with the operating system and watches for OS messages regarding requests for memory (that's how it knows when to de-allocate memory from itself). The OS itself will keep a minimum of memory reserved for itself, and there will be other OS processes that also consume memory. So Exchange will never have the ability to allocate 1GB of memory to itself. In Ex5.5 you can use the Performance Optimizer (to a certain extent) to set a threshold on Exchange's memory usage. Note that you probably don't want to do this, but you can if you like. -Scott - Original Message - From: Lefkovics, William [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 11:28 AM Subject: RE: Store.exe You're on Exchange5.5 sp4?

Re: exchange server and terminal server
IMHO, you should always make sure you have room for this. In fact, in many cases, it's not a bad idea to also copy the i386 folder from the Win2K CD onto the server's hard drive. This can be a timesaver because you don't have to hunt for the CD, or for when you don't have a CD drive or access to the CD drive on a remote system. All you need to do is carve out enough free space and you should be fine.

Re: Exchange services
The Event Service is used for firing actions (scripts) based on events (message arrival, etc.). It has nothing to do with Exchange logging to the event logs. The Event Service is part of a custom install, not part of the typical install; if you still want to install it, re-run setup and add the component. Chances are, though, that if you don't know what it is, you won't need it installed. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Scott Schnoll, MCSE MCT MCP+I Microsoft MVP Exchange 2000 Server: The Complete Reference - ISBN 0072127392 - Original Message - From: Joe Heaton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 8:12 AM Subject: Exchange services I have installed Exchange 5.5 sp4 on a new NT4 server.

Re: Eseutil
MessageIMHO, this statement is wrong: The best maintance [sic] for Exchange is apply service packs. other then that nothing needs to be done. There is a lot more to maintaining Exchange than applying service packs. You should also regularly review your event logs (daily, if not more frequently). There are some good tools out there that can automate this for you. You should also regularly collect and monitor performance data. You also need to watch mail queues for build-up, verify that your Exchange-aware antivirus software is working and keeping up-to-date, monitor disk space, and perform a whole other slew of tasks that combine to form your Exchange maintenance practices. Don't think for a minute that applying service packs is all you need to do to keep your servers up longer. There are lots of other factors that affect uptime and availability and they should not be overlooked.

Call PSS -Original Message- From: Noel Walsh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 06:58 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Service specific error 4294966782 After backing up from a tape due to a fault with Proxy server 2.0 which also runs on our Exchange server(I know), I had to do a parallel install of NT to get the machine to boot. This got me up and running again but I had multiple problems and am still trying to undo a few of them. The fact that the tape was quite old( I don't know I've only just got this job) meant that NETLOGON wouldn't run. I solved that one and another WINS error but after getting the MTA and DS services running, the Information store service will not start. A service specific error 4294966782. This appears to be a database problem which can only be fixed by third party tools. Can any of you shed any light on this situation as I've come to a bit of a dead end in my troubleshooting.
