RE: can't get into account.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q274343; You don't delete them. You delete the user that they belonged to, and after the deleted mailbox retention time they'll go away. Who cares if they're there, if they're not being used? Connect the good one to your user, and go on about your business. If the two bad ones contain messages, make a couple of fake users, connect to them, blow the messages and contacts and appointments or whatever off to a PST and then delete the users again. -Original Message- From: Michael Reid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 9:58 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: can't get into account.

Michael, I think what you need to do is right click on the user in AD and delete the mailbox. Then goto the recipients list where you see the red X's and there's an update list or refresh list there. Do that. Then you can right click on the correct mailbox and you should be able to 'attach' it back to the user. I don't know the exact steps but I have had to do it and I just know the refreshing the list is the big step everyone misses.

Ok, so I feel silly. Let me explain what happened, and maybe someone can help me fix it. I have an account on an exchange2000 box. I ended up putting a second email in tab in AD users and computers. The account started getting double emails so I removed the second email account. That didn't fix the issue so I deleted the account and recreated it. So it created a second mailbox for the users. He can't get into the original account anymore (client says that it won't accept password, etc). If I go into the Exchange Manager there is a red X through two accounts that look identical and mail in another ( I made the account twice, don't know why at the time, probably miss typed something). So... How do I get rid of the accounts that have the X in them, and let the user back into the original (or current) account? I'm not super familiar with exchange at this point, so be specific on instructions if at all possible. I'll let you know what happens.

Yeah. It's not bad, actually. I just don't like call tracking software in general. Long story.

If so, do they match what you were expecting? If not, can you telnet from your Exchange box to the MX record with lowest priority on port 25? The MX query above should return names, such as mail.his.domain.com, not IPs. You might want to check the names resolve to the IPs you expect.

RE: STORE.EXE make my server die
Well, perhaps your question isn't right. Because Ben's answer, while perhaps impatient, was certainly correct. STORE.EXE taking up 300mb of RAM is completely normal (well, except that it's very light usage for most enterprises) and is almost certainly not what is causing your system to hang. He *did* pay attention to the subject line. You need to work on your troubleshooting skills[1].

Outlook 2002 and many, many other mail clients can throw them in the trash. 3. www.grinningshark.com People have been known to reply with several hundred read receipts. Sorry I couldn't help you. But I feel your pain, trust me. -Original Message- From: Kopec, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 11:42 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: What an issue! I have a question/issue. Our legal dept. would like read receipts for all e-mails sent out, once they have been read by the recipient. This message originates from a web server and is sent with a program like Sendmail to virtually to every employee here. We have set up a mailbox within the Exchange org which is where they would like the read receipts to return to. They have a script they are using on the app server (see below) that supposedly is set up to send a read receipt but apparently it does not function. I didn't write it and I don't know much about it. It does send a delivery receipt however. In the CDO message object there is a return-receipt-to value to which can be assigned an e-mail address; and this, as far as I understand, should cause read receipt functionality to occur. However, when the web server sends off the message to the recipient, we get back a delivery successful notification (which I don't even really want), but then no subsequent read receipt, even after the message has been opened and closed. I checked the Internet headers for the message (see bottom of message), and the Return-Receipt-To header is part of the message, but it seems to be acting like a delivery notification instead. 1) Am I incorrect on which header should cause the read receipt functionality to work? Or 2) Do I just have the wrong code? Or am I beating a dead horse? I was wondering if thereis a correlation in Exchange/Outlook for which Internet Header maps to the read receipt flag in the Outlook client (like it seems the Return-Receipt-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet Header maps to the Delivery Receipt Requested checkbox in an Outlook message). I did find an article on MSDN that might have something to do with this, assuming I am correct in #1 above. It is: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q253917 If you could help me out on this, I'd really appreciate it.

This is how I had it configured when I was running Exchange 5.5 in the past. Is there any problem changing the Default Web Site properties in IIS on the Exchange 2000 server to redirect to the /exchange directory? It's just that my users have been used to accessing the outlook.mydomain.com URL for so long now, adjusting to a new URL would be problematic. Second, when I had OWA running under my Exchange 5.5 organization, I had SSL installed on the OWA box. I would like to take my Verisign certificate and move it to my new OWA 2000 server. Do I apply the certificate to the Default Web Site? Any problem I should know about with this? Thanks.

I don't think so. My guess would be that when you enable it, you have two identically configured SMTP VS's and that's what halts the system. If you want to dump the files, stop your new virtual server for a while, start your old one (after removing all access) and let it just clear the spam. Then start your new one delete the original one. Alternatively, you could just try deleting the exchsrvr\mailroot\queueu\vsi1 directory, but you may get some valid mails deleted also. -tom -Original Message- From: Norm Snowden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 8:15 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2000 Virtual SMTP Server It seems when I enable it so that I can start to delete the messages, there are too many messages trying to be sent and that slows the entire system down to where it is difficult to get anything done...CPU utilization jumps to 100%.

RE: Help....Password requested after migration to new domain
Go ahead check your binding order if you like. After making sure DNS is okay (just use PING my machine name, and by fully qualified machine name) then go back to looking at WINS LMHOSTS too. That stuff gets cached. So if your old PDC is still cached on the WINS server, or if your clients have the old one cached, you may want to clear reregister the servers' WINS database records by typing nbtstat -RR at a command prompt (case sensitive) and then going around to your workstations and dumping their local cache with nbtstat -R (again case sensitive) Probably not, though. -Original Message- From: Herchenbach, Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 14, 2002 12:26 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: HelpPassword requested after migration to new domain so i got the win98 machines working (outlook) but now it appears my outlook is starting slowly.
