RE: Defragmenting servers

[Steven M. Caesare]

Honestly, compared to FAT, fragmentation on NTFS was not nearly as big an 
issue, IMO.

Yes it fragmented but the cache-manager/VMM/filesystem and the ability to 
pre-read the block allocation and order them intelligently for an I/O operation 
reduced the effect significantly...

I am already a much bigger fan of 2008 R2 than 2008 R1 for the same

XenApp Server 5.0 on 2008 R2, meaning that I have to maintain some 2008

upgrade my AD schema to 2008 R2 because I'm paranoid that it will fsck

Makes sense:

2008   => Vista tree
2008R2 => Win 7 tree

I'm wondering if I could upgrade a 2008 box to R2 underneath MS DPM

something tells me that would be an exceptionally bad idea.

Subject: FW: Cannot forward attachments on iPhone through Exchange

We have done some more testing and found that we can send and forward
attachments using a Windows Mobile device.  This problem appears to be
only with the iPhone.  With the lack of response that I received on this
issue I have to wonder how many of the iPhone users on this list
actually use the iPhone with Exchange, and if you see a similar problem.
If so, how did you correct it.  Seems pretty quiet out there...

Okay, all you iPhone users out there...

We have brought 6 iPhones into the environment.  Now we have found that
the users cannot forward attachments from the iPhone through our
Exchange server.  If they forward them through their gmail account (also
set up on their iPhones), it will go through so it appears to be
something on our end.  It's not a size thing because the file sizes are
way below the limits.  We've got the iPhone running through an ISA 2006
server to our Exchange 2003.  Emails without attachments flow through
just fine.

For sufficiently geeky values of "nerd", yes.

I spun my propeller beanie as I was waiting for my X.25 connection to
the nearest PAD for our WAN link to our interweb gateway.

Oh, and so we could connect to the SNA server to talk to the System/36.

We seem to have uncovered a strange/scary issue with some users who are
connecting to Exchange 2007 SP1 mailboxes via EWS using either Apple
mail.app, iCal or Entourage (more prevelant on mail.app and ical).

 

1. Users have reported inbox subfolders go missing, both from the client
and server, never to be seen again.  The inbox doesn't get touched
though.

2. Users on occasion are presented someone elses mailbox when giving
their own credentials

3. Users have sent messages and the FROM address is someone elses, when
tracked via Exchange it appears from the "FROM" addresses mailbox

 

Raised a ticket with MS but thier response was "We don't support SL".
This clearly seems like a server issue, but we can't reproduce on
anything other than SL.

 

Just curious if anyone else has seen any issues like this using EWS.

The answer is "sort of".

First, Exchange is NOT an SQL database. 

 

Exchange does not have a native backup function like SQL.  You can
however use Windows Backup to backup the Information Store(s). 

This can be automated/scripted but unless you have a local tape drive or
lots of extra disk for Exchange, I'd strongly suggest just putting the
Exchange agent for your backup software on there.

I was wondering if the database portion of Exchange was similar to other

We have MS SQL configured to back its self up every night and I would

Our HP���s have had *odd* behavior with LAG on the dual onboard NICS(intel I

It seems to have something to do with the phase of the moon and the version of

RE: Anybody Out There?

Yeah, when I replaced water heater I installed a pan with a drain to the
sump to deal with eventual water heater failure.

I've actually already looked in to the moisture detectors that work with
home automation systems in order to kill the water supply via valve,
etc... Now just to do it.

Home Project #364 I suppose.

It's actually on the main level. It happens to be right above my mechanical

When it decides to blow, it will be a mess. Mebbe I should make a project of 
replacing the hoses with some high quality steel braided lines. Soon.

 

The other thing that scares me is sump pumps. The greatest chance of me losing 
poser is during heavy storms. That also happens to be the time I most need the 
sump to be working. :(

 

I've been meaning to install one of these for a while now.. it protects not

the primary pump:

Hi Guys

 

I've got a single, very senior user, who has an issue with seeing other
users free busy times. It doesn't appear to matter whether it's on the
same server or on another site. Eventually suggestions time out and the
free busy bar goes to the hashed grey line of no data available.

 

Anyone got any ideas? I've tried with both cached mode on and off with

RE: Thoughts on running MS Exchange to mapped drive...

[Steven M. Caesare]

If you MAP that UNC path to a drive letter, it disappears when your session is 
torn down.

 

If you use that UNC path DIRECTLY, it���s available.

 

Permissions still apply however, so you have to consider your BackupExec 
process context.

Very interesting point Stuart - so if I set up a NAS drive - Maxtor and it's on

\\maxtordevicename\public  , once I'm logged 
off the server won't have the drive available anymore so backups won't work 
using BackupExec pointed to a drive from within backupexec?

Mapped drives exist within the user session.

 

We ran into that issue with BackupExec which runs as a service ��� you c�t 
back up to mapped drives (which screwed us a little for the non iSCSI NAS) 
because they d�t exist for the service.

 

Would it not be easier to just connect it as an iSCSI device and mount it as if 
it were a local disk? Your SAN software should handle the ownership of the disk 
etc for multiple machines connecting.

I have a question for the peanut gallery..  What are the thoughts on
running an MS Exchange message store from a mapped drive.  We have a
scenario that the client has a iSCSI SAN that currently does not have a
direct connection to the desired MS Exchange server.

 

Thoughts???

That's a database being accessed via SMB/CIFS. 

 

If Exchange even allowed that (which I doubt), it's not going o be

Basically at random intervals throughout the day folks will experience a
"slow down" or "freeze up" in Outlook 2003 (all machines running XP Pro
SP3/Office2003 SP3) and a telnet program that we use. We have several
subnets and this is occurring across all of them at random times and to
random people. 

 

When this behavior occurs svchost.exe will spike on the machines to 99%.
It is impossible to recreate this problem and it is NOT happening to
everyone. Like most companies there are certain people who are in these
programs more than others so they may notice it more, but I am in
Outlook all the time and have not had this behavior occur.

 

I have researched and tried to pin point anything locally that might be
causing this, I have done rebuilds of machines, tried running Outlook in
Safe Mode all to no avail.

 

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions they are willing to throw my
way? Thank you in advance and have a happy holiday weekend!!

the demo runs out (although MAPI seems to continue to work). Also, it
seems to strip attachments. Their support line is almost completely
nonresponsive and for them the mail-list functionality seems like an
afterthought.

Quick Question...

We are trying to set up an internal listserv on our Exchange 2007
server.  It will be small (about 10 users) and it will be strictly
internal.  Is this possible through exchange without using any add-ons?
(or any expensive add-ons)  And if so can anyone point me in the right

They really mis-represent that product. I DL'ed a demo and went thru all
the installation only to find out that  _THE_ significant feature of a
list-server: rewriting the reply-to address such that the replies come
back to the LIST and not THE SENDER is not part of the product.

 

It's a DL member self-service product, not a list server.

I've done some research before posting this issue, and can't find any
good suggestions, so I'm going to the "Source". We have Exchange Server
2K3 running on a Windows Server 2K3 and use the Outlook 2K3 Client.
Recently we are having significant slowness upon opening the client
first thing in the morning after logging into the network. Later in the
day, if opening the client after closing the client, the client loads
very fast, within a few seconds. We'd surely like to determine the cause
of the slowness or at least a fix. Since we have staggered start times
here, it's not like everyone is opening the client at the very same
time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Very cool... although the estimated 18/23 mpg seems a little anemic. No HP 
rating either... although at 376 TQ, I'd guess maybe about 200... that is a 
little low for a vehicle that size with probably only a 5-spd tranny.

RE: Exchange 2003 Public Folder problems

Does your AD have old DC entries somewhere? Does DNS believe so as well?

Subject: Exchange 2003 Public Folder problems

 

Exchange 2003.  AD 2003

 

I recently took on a new client that is having some weird Public Folder
problems after the drive that holds the exchange DB ran out of space.
I was able to bring exchange back fine after I cleared out some old
backups they were storing on that drive.  The problem I'm getting now is
that when users try to add appointments to a Calender on any of the
public folders it does one of two things.  1.  lets them make the change
but does not keep the change.  or 2.   gives them an access is denyed
message.  If I look at the logs I don't see any related errors.  I have
double checked the permissions and everything looks good.  

 

To do some further trouble shooting on the permissions, I downloaded a
copy of ScriptLogic Security Explorer.  After installing when I try to
run I gives me an error pointing to and old DC and will not connect.
This go me wondering If exchange somewhere was still pointing to on old
DC .  I checked the DNS on the NIC and In Exchange System Manager  -->
Servers --> Server name --> Properties, Directory Access Tab.  Those
look right.

 

I seem to remember that there is one other place that exchange stores
info on DC's but can't find it.   Does anyone know if there are other
places to check?

 

Thanks

RE: OT: American automotive (was: Is Exchange Doomed?)

[Steven M. Caesare]

Man, I'd love to have that plant in mid-size SUV.

There are few attractive small diesels in the US, but those that are available 
often don't make their way in to passenger vehicles, where the emissions 
regulations are far more strict than the light-duty truck market, which is 
where you find the majority of diesels here.

I read about one test that replaced the 4.7L V8 (which got MPG in the high 
teens) with a ~3.5L V6 turbo diesel. The mileage went to low/mid 30's, and the 
performance was nearly identical. That would be the perfect for my Toyota 
Sequoia.

What many folks don't realize, is that other than particulate, modern diesels 
actually have LESS harmful emissions than their gasoline brethren in several 
categories.

_SIGH_.
