Also noticed a ton of companies out thereI actually drove from DFW to Plano and on the way there I think we took like I35 or I65 or something and I was amazed to see all of the companies that are either based out there or have a site in dallas.

RE: How Many Exchange Admins Does It Take....
520 users. 1 Exchange admin. Exchange Admin Responsiblities: 1. add/delete/modify user mailboxes, DLs, custom recipients 2. daily backup of IS and DS on Exchange 5.5 server 3. Monthly Disaster Recovery Test - fully documented. 4. Notify users with more than the max. mailbox size. 5. Other exchange issues like cannot send to certain email addresses, or errors when sending to an address etc. 6. Manage NAV for Exchange - responsible for blocking known virus extensions. Basically it depends on what your responsibilities would be as an Exchange admin. I mean does your boss expect you to also assist users who need to their mailboxes using Outlook, Outlook Express, POP3 etc? We have a desktop guy that does the bulk of that work. I would say 1 fully dedicated Exchange admin per site. Train another tech guy to do most of the day to day work.

We have about 200 people altogether with about 110 in the feild, and about 50% of all calls to both myself, ans our PC Tech are calls about field email or connectivity to the email system from the field.

RE: DR Exchange server to production server
Incase anyone is interested in the notes. Switching DR Exchange server with Production server 1. Full tape backup of the MS Directory and IS performed at 10pm est. Will take approximately 2 hours to complete. Outage scheduled for 12am est. 2. Production Server: Windows 2000 Server SP2 SR1, MS Exchange 5.5 SP4. Make sure that the DR server has the exact same service packs for both Windows 2000 and MS Exchange. 3. Backup completed at 11:47pm. Preparing to bring down the production Exchange server. (Company notified 48, 12, and 6hrs prior to scheduled outage) 4. Remove Production Exchange server from the domain. Run Replication Manager to sync this change across the network (You can also run Srvr Manager if you have a mix node environment). Waited approximately 15 mins before adding the DR server to the production domain. (Technically not necessary but did it as a precaution) 5. Added the DR Exchange server to the production domain. Ran Replication Manager again to synch the change across the network. 6. Install MS Exchange 5.0. Run setup\I386\Setup.exe 7. Select Custom Installation: Check the following options: MS Exchange Server, MS Exchange Administrator. 8. Enter the CD-KEY 9. Select Licensing Mode: Per Seat and click Continue 10. Select 'Create a new site' 11. Organization Name = 12. Site Name = 13. Organization Name and Site Name must be the same as the one on the original Exchange server. 14. Enter service account and service account password 15. Setup will not begin installing MS Exchange 5.0 Enterprise Edition. 16. Once MS Exchange 5.0 has been installed you will be asked to run the Performance Optimizer. Click 'Run Optimizer' (all Exchange services are stopped while Performance Optimizer is being run) 17. Move the Exchange server files to the following location: a. Private Info Store E:\exchsrvr\mdbdata b. Public Info Store E:\exchsrve\mdbdata c. Info Store Logs E:\exchsrve\mdbdata d. Directory Service E:\exchsrve\dsadata e. Directory Service Logs E:\exchsrve\dsadata f: Message Transfer Agent E:\exchsrve\mtadata 18. Once Performance Optimizer has complete open Exchange Administrator. 19. In Exchange Admin connect to: RKAWA1EX02 20. Upgrade to MS Exchange 5.5 (if you have an Enterprise Version of 5.5 then you would do the above using your 5.5 CD. We only have a 5.5 upgrade CD so we had to do the steps above again. Not pleasant! 21. Install MS Exchange Service Pack 4. 22. Restore MS Directory first from Tape backup. Make sure you Inventory and Catalog the tape prior to performing the restore. (We use Veritas Backup Exec 8.6) 23. Once restore has completed, stop/start the MS Directory service. Error: Event ID 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly. This behavior can occur on a recovery server or on a server you use for testing purposes because the Edb.log file that is created during a restore operation from backup interferes with the recovery process when the restore operation is finished. Resolution: To resolve this behavior, manually remove the existing data in the Dsadata folder before starting the restore operation from backup. NOTE : If you delete the Edb.log file to restart the directory service, run eseutil with the /g /v /x /ds options to ensure that this deletion does not introduce errors into the directory. 24. Once the existing data in the Dsadata folder was deleted the MS Directory was restored a second time. 25. MS Directory started successfully. 26. Run the restore process for the Information Store from tape backup. 27. Once restore has completed make sure that the MS Exchange Directory services has started successfully. 28. Run the isinteg patch: c:\exchsrvr\bin\isinteg -patch 29. Starting MS Exchange Information Store... 30. MS Exchange Information Store has started successfully. 31. Stop the MS Exchange Info Store service. 32. Run the isinteg patch: c:\exchsrvr\bin\isinteg -patch (MS Exchange Information Store Integrity checker) 33. The Information Store has been successfully updated. 34. Restart the MS Exchange Info Store service. 35. Test opening a few mailboxes to ensure that emails are present. 36.

Do you need to uninstall/reinstall Exchange 5.5 after each drill? The problem is that we only have enough diskspace to run one drill at a time. Is there a way to maybe just delete the Pub and Priv data? In the past I have been uninstalling/reinstalling Exchange 5.5 each time I do a drill or need to recover old emails from our offsite backup tapes. I just was wondering if there was a way to speed up the process a little.

DR Exchange server to production server
Hi, Has anyone ever switched their DR server to their Production Exchange server? I have a DR Exchange server that I use to frequently perform DR tests. The specs: Computername, Domain, Windows 2k and Exchange service packs on the production server are exactly the same as the DR server. What I want to do is after hours(once a backup of the Dir and IS is run)stop the Exchange services on the production server and take if off the domain and sync the servers. Then, take the DR server off of the test domain (which is exactly the same as our production domain) and bring it online on the production domain. Once online, install Exchange 5.5 with sp4 and run a restore of the Ex Dir and the IS). Once the Exxchange service have started theoretically I should be able to log back in to my mailbox via Outlook. Has anyone done this type of scenario and experienced problems? Thanks, List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
RE: DR Exchange server to production server
PS. We are a small shop so we can afford an outage to our Exchnge server overnight. I have read the Ed Crowley server move method. Its great but not be necessary as we only need one exchange server online and can afford an overnight outage. -Original Message- From: Sethi, Ali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 6:36 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: DR Exchange server to production server Hi, Has anyone ever switched their DR server to their Production Exchange server?

Replacing Exchange 5.5 server with new server
Title: What does this failure notice mean? Hi Everyone, We have just bought a new server that we want to use to host our one and only Exchange 5.5 server SP4. I have run several DR tests on our Exchange DR server so I have everything I need to successfully get the Exchange Directory and IS services to start on the new server. The new server will have the exact same specs, including the computer name as the current exchange server. I just wanted to confirm something before we begin the move to the new server. Do I need to first remove the current Exchange server from the domain and then add the new server and connect that to the domain? Im pretty sure I do but just wanted to double check. Also anything else I should prep for before moving to the new server? OS = Windows 2000 SP2.

I assume that when someone opens the attachment, it will in turn e-mail some kind of a report back to the service (or maybe directly to you?), where you can gather stats on who/how many went for it. This guy quoted a stat -- something like 40% of users will typically open any message/attachment regardless of policy or the repeated preaching by email admins. I got a call recently (rather irate user) trying to open an attachment from an unsupported app... user: I can't open an attachment me: what is it - a word doc or spreadsheet or something? user: I don't know me: is it something you were expecting from someone? user: no me: why are you trying to open it? user: I just want to see what it is me: just ignore it user: but why can't I open it? me: you're PC doesn't recognize what it is user: well, I sent to so-and-so, and what's-her-name, (etc..), and they can't open it either me: sigh just delete it and I'll tell them to do the same Our users not only dive into the unknown, but they make sure their friends are doing the same - aarhhhh! These guys get the sermon on a regular basis but it just doesn't sink in. When I heard about this kind of service out there, I thought this is kind of sneaky (would it even be considered a kind of entrapment?), but it would clearly demonstrate the problem to the managers here. Someone on another list once made a very wise comment (probably been said here too) about trying to use technology to solve behavioral problems, but that's not my intent. I'd like to use technology to raise awareness of the problem - not to solve it. The service might give us a more tangible idea if there are a lot of people here that blow off policy and just open everything they get, and it could be up to the managers here to deal with the offending staff appropriately. Is this kind of service something very new? Does anyone know anything about it? I wish I could have caught the details of that show but I was multitasking that day (my 5-year-old took over as highest priority) so I got side-tracked, but I'd like to know if anyone has any thoughts on this. thanks randy. *** The information transmitted in this email is intended only for the person(s) or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential

Brick Level backups using Veritas 8.6
Hello, Does anyone do brick level backups? I know there are many disadvantages of doing this especially since the fact that you are doing double the work and your tape could run for several hours more than if you were to just backup the IS and Dir but can a brick level backup cause problems with your logs and cause your Exchanges services like the IS service to fail? Just curious. We have a client that insists on doing it this way. Although in my brick level scheme im only backing up the Inbox and no other Outlook folder. I just want to maek sure that by doing brick-level im not going to further mess their exchange server. Thanks, List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

RE: Applying Mailbox Limits....After the Fact
We had the same problem. The previous IT members setup the Exchange server with no limits. It was a nightmare. Every mailbox was over 1gb. Our exchange server would go down constantly (atleast twice a week). Finally after much neglect our Exchange server died. Took a lot of heat for the long outage. I began to check the log files in Veritas and discovered that 80% of the emails in all these mailboxes were just BS emails like jokes, mp3's, chain emails. We submitted our reports to our CEO and told him that if we don't put certain policies in place these outages will constantly happen. Once he reviewed the data we collected he gave us his blessing to do what we want and enforce all polices. I think that no one taught the users how to delete emails. We finally put our foot down and setup limits of only 60mb per mailbox. Users whined and complained but we stood our ground. We began to block emails with certain extensions from passing thru our exchange server. With some daily routine maintenance and putting these simple measures in place we have drastically increased our uptime to almost 100%. Now the users are accustomed to the policies in place and everyone is happy. You always seem to take more heat when your Exchange server is down and everyone is looking thru your server room window with a nasty look and constantly knocking on your door asking when Exchange will be back up because they need to send out a very important joke to their colleagues.

Exchange 5.5 Disaster Recovery Testing
Title: Message Running: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Windows 2000 server sp1 Hi, Just a quick question. What is the best way to conduct periodic DR test on your Exchange server?

POP3 issue after disabling relay
Hello Everyone, Specs: Windows 2000 server sp1 Exchange 5.5 sp4 At one time our Exchange server was setup as a relay agent. We had numerous ISPs like mindspring and earthlink block emails stemming from our domain. Several days ago we corrected that problem by ensuring our Exchange server is no longer setup to relay. The following steps were done to prohibit relaying: 1.In IMS we unchecked 'Hosts and clients with these IP addresses' 2.We also unchecked 'Hosts and clients connecting to these internal address and remove the ip address and mask of our Exchange server. We are having issues with our POP3 users after making these changes to disable relaying. We are getting complaints from users setup as POP3 that they cannot send to external email addresses. They can only send to our internal users. As a temp solution we have asked that our POP3 users use OWA to send to outside clients. At present there are approximately 13 POP3 users in our company so its not a major issues but just a slight inconvenience for them. Is there a way we can correct this issue and allow the POP3 users to send externally? Does any one have any suggestions? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Disaster Recovery 2
Hello All, Note: Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 Windows 2000 SP1 Recovery Server and Production Exchange server have identical Exchange server, Windows 2k server and service packs. I have just successfully completed a DR test using the last full backup tape (Friday's tape). My manager would like me to do another test but this time using a full backup tape from April 2001. He said that back in July they lost some public folder data and could not recover it and was wondering if I could do another DR test using an older tape. My question is this. Should I reinstall Exchange and do all the steps over again? Can I just restore the IS and DS from April and would it overwrite the current one? What is the best way to go about performing the next DR test? Thanks, List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Disaster Recovery Test - Failure to start the Information Store s ervice
Hello, I decided to do a DR test today but unfortunately could not get the IS service to start after the restore. Below are my steps in the exact order: Current Exchange server running 5.5 with sp4 on a windows 2k server 1.Setup a separate Lan and promoted a bdc that I took off from our existing network to a pdc. 2.Ran setup of Exchange 5.0. Did not join existing domain. 3.Gave the server the same name as the orginal exchange server, the same site and organization names as the existing exchange server. (Understanding that the site and organization names are case-sensitive) 4.Created a new site. 5.Selected the same service account as the original exchange server 6.Did a directory Import from the most current directory.csv file 7.Upgraded recovery server to Exchange 5.5 then SP 4. (same as original server) 8.Ran MS Exchange performance optimizer 9.Deleted and re-added the computer name on the pdc to create a new sid. (After readding computer I was forced to remove the recovery server from the domain and then re-add it to the domain) 10.Installed MS Outlook on recovery server. 11.Performed the restore using the last full backup tape (Used Veritas Backup Exec ver 8.6). Restored only the Information Store not the Directory since that was already imported in step 6. (Note: I normally do a brick level backup so the tape consisted of the Directory store, Info store, and part of the individual mailboxes. The second tape contained the remainder of the mailboxes) The info store was approximately 33gb. 12.Restored both Priv and Pub data by selecting them on the Exchange tab in Veritas backup exec ver 8.6. 13. Once the restore was completed the Diretory, MTA, System Attendent all started but the Info store would not start. Also I could not do an isinteg -patch because it could not find the IS database. 14. I manually tried to start the IS service but received the error: Windows could not start the MS IS service on the local computer and to check the Event viewer for more info. The Event Viewer said: MS IS service terminated with server specific error 4294966266. 15. Im going to check the knowledge base regarding this error but im curious if any has ever come across this? Did I not do a step right? Should I have not imported the Directory store in step 6? Im a little stumped as to what I did wrong causing the IS not to start. Anyone have any ideas???

Brick Level Backups
Hello, Can someone tell me why Brick Level backups are a bad idea? I have been doing brick level backups for a while and have not incurred into any problems. Am I heading for a disaster by continuing to do brick level backups? My users demand that mailbox be restored without the Exchange server being down. I do frequently get calls from users accidentally deleting emails and then frantically calling me to restore them immediately. What are my alternatives? Email retention? How much disk space would that require on my exchange server to setup a email retention for 30 days? In order to skip brick level backups would I need a second exchange server as a DR server? If that is the case and I setup a local lan with the exact same domain, service account, site and organization name would it be a piece of cake to restore a full backup on this server and recover all the data on tape without any problems?? Exchange 5.5 sp4 Win 2k server 626 mailboxes 31GB Info store, about 100gb on server (Including emc drive array space) 1.5GB of ram. Do you think I need more Ram? I may... At what point is it a good idea to begin to think about a 2nd exchange server? Thanks, List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Mailbox sizes: Incoming/Outgoing messages
Hello, We are beginning to implement a policy of limiting all incoming/outgoing messages to 5mb. I just wanted a consensus of size limits are set by other companies. What size limit have you implemented? Thanks, List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Exchange 5.5 Server
I needed some advice on whether I should begin plans to implement a 2nd Exchange server. Here is the current setup. At present there are 625 mailboxes (not including Distribution lists or custom recipients) on the Exchange server. The daily differential is approximately 51GB and the weekly full run every Friday is about 88GB (consisting of 2 tapes). We backup both the info store and each individual mailboxes during the diff and full backups. Is there an approximate point when you need to start looking at adding a second exchange server? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
