RE: Kodiak, again
thanks for bring this to my attention. This was what I was waiting for Liz -Original Message- From: Patrick Rouse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 2:39 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Kodiak, again Excerpt from Paul Thurott's Wininformant: Exchange 2000 will not run on Win.NET Server, he said. Win.NET Server will require Exchange 2003, which takes advantage of the many changes we made in Win.NET Server to Active Directory (AD). Goffe said that Exchange 2003 will also include a new Outlook Web Access (OWA) version, which has been popular with Exchange users, and features better performance. An Exchange 2003 beta will be available by the end of the year, he said. http://www.wininformant.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=25894 This sounds nasty to me (nothing new for MS), like you won't be able to upgrade your Exchange 2000 Server, to .Net Exchange 2003, instead you'll have to bring up another system from scratch with .Net Server Exchange 2003 migrate.

Displaying the GAL on a web page
here's the situation. We have been told that we have to go to dynamic web pages. No biggy, right?. Well, higher ups would like to have the employee directory be dynamic as well. Their logic - why update it in 2 places (exchange and the web pages), why not have it dynamically pull from the GAL. To add interest to the situation the Web pages run off of an AIX UNIX box and with Exchange 5.5 sp4 on NT sp6. Does anyone know if it is do-able to have the GAL display on a open web page? it seems like you could pull you info using the CDOs but it also seems that you would want some sort of authentication with it? Now is this actually possible? If so, can someone point me in the right direction?

.net questions
Situation: Our web committie (i am not involved) meet and decided there was no need to go to .net for web at this time, becuase they could do everything they needed to with out it. not that great, can do the same stuff myself no-tech manager a then went to non-tech higher up b (my boss's boss) and said what! we need to go to .net, as MS says it is the next best thing! non-tech higher up b (my boss's boss) said to my boss what is up with .net and why aren't we going to it? MS is advertizing it all over the place! we need to get it! my boss said - Find OUT what is going on! I went to technet and MS and now the lists. Per MS it is a XML web serivce which somehow has serversMS site was not clear on how it worked. The Technet article were better on told me that .net is a programming framework to link web and traditional server systems together to enable better flow of information. Am I correct in my undertsanding? Is .net server a true NOS based or is is just web services? My undertanding is that it is not offically released yet, is that correct? Is anyone beta testing it? If so what problems have they found with Exchange and Terminal services? I thought I read from one of my lists that there were issues with exchange?? Who is planning on going to it?

OT- Outlook will not start
I am brain dead and am hoping for some pointers. WIN98 machine. Standard (for our company) office 2000 install (run alll from my cpu). The rest of the office suite is fine. When you start outlook is hangs at the outlook splash screen. It doesn't give any errors. just stays there forever. if you do a ctrl-alt-del - it seems to be fine. If you switch to it, then it will come up not responding. Outlook will run in safe mode (when started with the /safe switch) The office suite has been un-installed, the registry keys removed. Office was re-installed under a new user (me) and setup a profile setup for me. when i clicked on outlook for the 1st time - it did give the configuration choice sreen then locked up. I have re-started the system in dos mode and deleted win386.swp... No matter what I do or who is logged in it hangs, except when started in safe mode IS there anything I can do in safe mode to affect the standard mode? Is there something I am not seeing THanks for your input.

RE: PST Bad - why?
Title: RE: PST Bad - why? Kevin, you said it!! Wally, We use psts because our users are also hard headed. Oddly enough, I have only lost 2 psts completely (had to restore from backup) and had to repair 5 of them, out of 900 users on my site over 2 years. Yes, PSTs have a significant disadvantage but so does letting the users run your IS out of space! We have more problems with OWA only users running their mailbox out of space then with psts. BUT I would not advocate them for everyone, as you must be ready for the inevitable failure. You will have to sit down and figure out what is best for your company, where you have the space and what polices can you serious implement. (we had users using pst prior to our ok...)

Wally, Kumusta po kayo? The .pst will take up disk space. Some companies will have separate budgets for NT servers and Exchange servers so you end up with lots of disk space on home drives but no spare capacity in the Exchange server IS. A choice a lot of companies make in this scenario, is to go down the .pst route. The .psts are stored on home drives so get backed up. A certain large oil company I worked for deployed over 300,000 .psts in this way. Probably best not to START with that strategy but sometimes you've just got to run with whatever you're given! Sige!

site.
Site 2
has16 gigs of space Exchange server (5.5 enterprise sp 4

16 gigs of space Exchange server (5.5 enterprise sp 4 on NT4 sp5)
with11 gigs free and priv.edb at4 gigs and550 users on
site.
Novell
Servers on SANS for file server (current free space is dependent on Novell
volumne and will incearse with the additional of new SANS drives) with tape
backup of file server and exchange box. (Novell is our standard NOS with winnt
for exchange only)
There is
significantly more space on the Novell system then the Winnt
system.
There is no
backup of individual pcs. pcs range from P166s to current ghz machines with hdds
from 1 gig to 20 gigs.
Users
ablities range from scared to death of anything more powerfull then a typewriter
to powerusers.
Average size
of pst is around 30-50 megs in size.
All psts are
stored on the user directories on the Novell
Servers.
Users here
will abuse (have proven it when we brought exchange in 2 years ago) extreme
limits. Thus limits on individual mailboxes where imposed.
Some
correspondence Information (for state or CYA) needs to be held from 6 months to
5 years.
Given this
situation,
Whats a
better sugguestion then PST/OSTs?
I would LOVE
to stop supporting psts!

Ummm... PST's burned to a CD are not accessible due to the "Read
Only" attribute.
As
for your 5 year storage requirement, that is what tape backups are for.
We're required to keep 7 years worth of mail for the FDA and SEC, we don't nor
will we ever use PST's, not to mention, I won't support them. That's
what a backup strategy is for. 30mb for a storage limit might work for
you, but it certainly doesn't work for every one.
The
other side of this coin is SIS, otherwise known as Single Instance
Storage. Exchange works wonders with this feature, you should read up on
it. In addition, disk space is cheap, feed your Exchange server some of
that disk space on the SAN and you'll be a happier admin.
5GB
is definitely not the norm for mailboxes, Kevin is a case in his own
there. My mailbox is a whoppin 500mb, but it doesn't even compare to the
2GB my CFO has and I'm not going to complain to him about it since I have a
rather large RAID array that will support larger mailboxes.
PST's actually use more disk space than the Exchange IS. I
believe the ratio is something like 1.2:1. In addition to that, PST's
can degrade PC performance dramatically due to memory
usage.
In
short, what's good for the goose is not good for the gander. While your
solution might work for you, it is not one I would ever advocate nor would I
find it acceptable...

Working
at a college, I see a wide range of users. Some users are required by the
state or grant institiution to hold onto all correspondese for a "project"
for 5 years. We estiblished "reseanable" (30 meg) limits on their mailboxes
(IS) and expect them to keep them clean. This means that they can't hold
e-mail there for 5 years. (who would want to
anyway?)
While
PSTs and OSTs may not be the best idea (yes I know all about their issues),
they are a storage type we can provide. Opening the limits on the IS for 5
gig folders like Kevins would be impossible. Our people just will abuse that
sort of limit. they would never delete anything! My bosses, andI
agree, that a 30 meg limit is more then acceptable limit for amailbox
via Exchange.
We store
the PSTs on the file server (which is on a SANS) and they are backed up.
When the psts get around 650 megs in size, I burn it to a cd and have them
start a new one. I copy the cd version on to the hdd but leave it in
read-only attribute so they can't add to it but can access the info.

Reasoning, when we had an ISDN internet connection, if people tried sending messages with large attachments it would bring internet traffic and Outlook to a virtual halt.

The biggest complain I get is from the secretaries to the "higher" ups, with the "I am so important that I don't have time to manage my mailbox and because of this you should give me unlimited space" attitude. I consider myself very fortunate in that I have the backing of my boss (Dir. of IT) when it comes to enforcing the limit. If I didn't have his support, I don't think it would be do-able. He feels that if he is fine at the standard limit, so should every one else. Before I consider an increase request I do the following: Monitor their limit via exchange admin to see if they are cleaning it out during the day. Meet with the user and review their mailbox piece by piece. Check folder sizes using folder size button to see if there are any bottlenecks like sent items folder. Determine if they are constantly receive WORK related e-mails with large attachments that can not be shared in another pre-setup fashion. (i.e. shared dept. drives). I also review the recover deleted items to see if they are on a lot of lists which they conveniently deleted right before I came over.

RE: Keeping large PST's open
I agree. PST should be used to keep messages you need. maybe even CYA messages. it is not needed to store evry bit of junk mail.

RE: More SMPT help on Exchange 5.5 please!
Forgive me, but i am slighly confused. You want to route xyz.com to abc.com. To do this, go to the routing tab of the IMC. For the routing, enter abc.com - inbound, xyz.com - abc.com. That should do it. I follow up to xyz.com - abc.com. does this mean that i enter abc.com in the reroute to this domain field?

If I read properly, this is what you want. 1. Change your outgoing smtp from @xyz.com to @abc.com. To do this, assuming a user has both SMTP addresses as their email addressed, just click on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and click on SET as reply address on the email addresses tab of the recipient's properties. 2. You want to route xyz.com to abc.com. To do this, go to the routing tab of the IMC. For the routing, enter abc.com - inbound, xyz.com - abc.com. That should do it. Rodney Li ok, I admit I am still new to exchange 5.5 since I kinda just ended up as Exchange Admin.( no one else wanted the job!) Since the general consenses seems to be the Exchange 5.5 will not auto generate the second smpt address on account creation, I will deal. I have imported the new smpt addresses into the current acounts so that they now have 2 smpt address.(@abc.com and @xyz.com) Both smtp address are in the IMS routing tab. Users can currently can recieve from both addresses and send from abc.com which is the orignal address. I have the following questions: on NT 4.0 SP5 Exchange 5.5 sp 4 How do I change my outgoing smpt to @xyz.com from @abc.com. Is there a way to route @xyz.com addresses into the original @abc.com's smpt or visa versa. I understand I can change the default smpt address through site addressing. Is there a way to get @xyz.com to route into the orignal @abc.com without having it in each users list of e-mail addresses. Can I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] and exchange 5.5 will route in to [EMAIL PROTECTED] without me adding [EMAIL PROTECTED] to his list of addresses. (or visa versa using the new smpt accounts and routing the old ones?) does this even make sense, cause I may not understanding things correctly.

There's an outside chance you could write some form of script, but if you're looking for a magic option in the Admin program then forget it.

I need a solution for exchange. I have now have 2 smtp addresses (abc.com and xyz.com) for each user and they want to keep it that way. Thanks to an earlier suggustion, we have imported the second e-mail address in to existing users. the recieve e-mail from both accounts fine. I have both addresses setup in the IMS routing tab. When I create a new account It ONLY generates a smpt address for the orignal (abc.com)not both(abc.com and xyz.com. How do I setup exchange to defaulty generate both smpt addresses during account creation.

With the import/export method, you can have a 2nd SMTP address as you've noticed. To get this done automatically, you'll need to get Exchange 2000. However, the problem you have is when sending messages. Users can only have 1 outgoing SMTP address.
