Re: Exchange 2000
Same AD Forest. The Forest can contain multiple Domains, and indeed multiple Trees, but it's got to be one Forest. This is because the Global Address List is drawn from the Global Catalogue, and the 'Global' bit means 'across the whole Forest'. There are meta-directory products that allow you to add names from another GC to yours (and vice-versa), but I've no experience of them and they sound complicated. So - you can't have multiple Exchange 2000 Orgs in the same Forest; and a single Exchange 2000 Org can't span multiple Forests.

Re: Authentication attempt failed
It looks like it could be a nameserver for iim.co.uk (hence the 'ns' bit of the server name) but for some reason it's trying to come in on port 25, thus exercising your SMTP server.

RE: Exchange Tasks in AD
Where are you seeing these? They're not in the dialogue box that Exchange Tasks takes you into But the Establish Email Address dialogue box is definitely to create a non-Exchange email addy - it could be, as Neil said, an external address, or it could be, as we use it, for address on a non-Exchange internal system. Of course, in the latter case you also need the relevant Connector set up before it'll work. Tom Stephen I.

RE: Exchange Tasks in AD
Ah, but when? This in fact what we're doing - moving from Netware to AD, and from Domino to Exchange 2k. There is an argument that says you do the Directory migration first, so everyone's NDS account is converted to an AD acount all at once. Then you do the Domino to E2k migration over a timescale. During that migration some users would be on E2k, some would still be on Domino, but all would have an AD account. The Domino users would be mail-enabled, and one task during the migration would be to create their Exchange mailbox.

If this is Ex2K then you must be working in Win2k and AD. This means that users should be trying to authenticate with their normal logon name password. If the error message you're getting is about authentication, then the issue of where the directories actually are hasn't arisen yet - you need to authenticate first!

Re: Front-end/Back-end ???
OK. I only have OWA working in a test lab, but this is what we do: we set the homepage in the browser Properties to 'http://servername/exchange'. With Integrated Windows Authentication, what happens is that the browser automatically passes the credentials through to IIS when challenged, and there is no need to complete an authentication dialogue box. I think it's worth persisting with checking the logs, esp. the IIS logs. You mention that when you untick Basic Authentication, you get passed through to the backend server, and then get an Error 404. This sounds as if authentication is working in that case; ie, authentication at the front end IIS server. The location of the IIS log files are specified in the Server properties (that's IIS) - in Internet Services Manager right-click the 'Default Web Site', select Properties, select the Web Site tab, and make sure that the following values are set:- Enable Logging is ticked, and the logging format is set to 'W3C Extended Log File format'. If you've not touched this area before it's likely that the defaults have been left, in which case the log files will be in \winnt\system32\logfiles\W3SVC1... They are text files, one per day, and can be opened by double-clicking. The value of them is that they show the resources being requested, and who is requesting them. Once you've confirmed that logging is on, and that you can see the logfiles, try and connect again with Basic Authentication turned OFF, let the error happen, and then go back and check the IIS log file. See what's happening. There'll always be an anonymous connection attempt first - that's the http protocol default behaviour. Thereafter there should be lines that show the following requests, and who's making them. If the request is being passed through to the back-end server then you should see the requests appearing under the name of your user, and the resource they're asking for. That should tell you that authentication is happeneing, and with what value, and what's being looked for.

Re: Question with Exchange and AD Setup
An E2k organisation has exactly the same boundaries as your AD Forest. Put simply (possibly even simplistically), the E2k org uses the Global catalogue, and there is just one of them in an AD Forest, and all user objects in domains within that forest can access it. So, if the 'child domains' are in the same forest as your other domains, then they will see all the users (and vice versa). This is true even if the new domains aren't in the same tree; ie, if your forest includes domains 'acme.com' and 'sales.acme.com' and you later add a new domain 'roadrunner.org' *to the same forest*, all the users in the three domains will use the same Global catalogue. If you put 'roadrunner.org' into a different forest, however, then is uses a different global catalogue (one is created automatically when you create the forest) and its users won't be able to see the users in acme.com. There are metadirectory products that would, in fact, allow visibility between GCs in different forests, but that's complicated.

Michele has the right answer - this it the moment to call in your friendly local Linux consultancy, who will not only solve your immediate problem but will also be happy to give your Linus box a health check and even provide Linux support (for a fee, of course). The issue you're currently facing is an example of why you need this. This is in no way a criticism, btw - you are an Exchange admin, not a Linux admin.

MMC Snap-ins for SMTP NNTP not displaying
I've just checked my Internet Information Services MMC on my E2k server (Win 2k + SP2, E2k + SP1), and the smtp ntp services aren't showing. There's no 'X' against them; they just aren't there in the display. It shows the Default Web Site and Admin Web Site only. I think I need to configure the smtp service to prevent relaying, and I presume that I do this via this MMC. I know the relevant components are installed - a) I've been sending receiving smtp mail to/from the E2k server, and b) selecting Windows 2000 Components in Add/Remove Software in Control Panel, and checking the details of Internet Information Services shows that both smtp and nntp are already installed.

RE: MMC Snap-ins for SMTP NNTP not displaying
Oops - yes, I've found it. Thanks to all who replied. My excuse is that I haven't done my training course yet; I'm learning most of this from the books as I go along. However, I'm not sure about the bit about E2k being 'relay-proof' out of the box. I've just checked the settings and in the SMTP Properties - Access - Relay area there are two settings: the 'Only the list below' selected, and the list is blank (which thus ought to completely prevent relaying) *but* there's also another tick box at the bottom of the dialogue box with this text: 'Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above', and that tick-box is selected, which would seem to override the first setting. I don't remember setting this tick box, so my assumption is that this is how it was when it was installed. Given that the authentication methods include anonymous, then presumably all external smtp servers that connect to mine would be able to relay through mine. What am I not understanding? Does 'allow all computers which successfully authenticate' not include those that use anonymous?

Re: Exchange 2000 and Outlook
Mike Q163667 (which admittedly is about OL97) says that the new mail notification is on a 5-minute cycle. The first new message in a cycle period will trigger the notification; subsequent new messages within the same 5 minute cycle won't. But I guess they would suddenly become visible through the actions you describe below. Does this fit with your observations?

I Hope.. We are rolling out Exchange 2000 hot and heavy. So far we have migrated about 4000 5.5 mailboxes. one issue we have not been able to explain to users and that I have seen in my own Inbox. This problem did not show up in testing and I did not see this in my own inbox until I started to load up the new E2K servers with users. Ok, so you have Outlook open and you know an email is coming or at least you are checking to see if any is there before you go to a meeting. You dont see any messages in Outlook, but if you refresh you screen or click on another message you get a few emails...? To give you a little more detail, I can receive an email on my Blackberry 957 WSM (Wireless-Snail-Mail) but not see it in Outlook until I refresh, click on another message, or wait long enough for some interval to pass. I am hoping there is some kind of configuration I can adjust to prevent this from happening. Around here Execs watch Outlook like its the only thing they use and most times they know when certain emails are coming or should be there. Does anyone know why this is, or seen this yourself?
