What might cause someone to lose the folders they created in there Outlook?
The setup is NT 4.0 Sever W SP6A, Exchange Server V5.5 with SP4. Employee
left one day and logged off as he normally does, and when he came back in
the next morning, the folders were gone. Nothing had been done as
Maintenance or anything like that during the evening.

Thanks

Hello Everyone.
I have a quick question about a Disaster Recovery procedure I am carrying
out for a client.
Status is as follows:

Someone has deleted critical files from the root of C:, WINNT.SBS, Exchsrvr
and Arcserve.
Client has NO GOOD BACKUP!
Exchange no longer works - Databases appear to be intact.
Exchange Admin console no longer works.
Cannot reboot Server - if I do, it will no longer come back online!!

I have managed to backup their Data onto various PC's so I know this is
safe. I have also taken an OFFLINE Backup of the MDBDATA Folder that
contains Priv and Pub.
The client has Small Business Server 4.5

I am going to rebuild the Server, but would just like to confirm a few
points, regarding SBS 4.5

(1) I believe I am right in thinking I do NOT have to install Exchange
5.5 straight away via the SBS Wizards? And I also assume I can install
Exchange 5.5 later, once I have the Server back up and running?
(2) Any special procedure needed in restoring my MDBDATA folder BACK
onto the Server.

What I am concerned about is that when I recreate all user accounts, I was
a
little unsure about recreating Mailboxes for the users. If Exchange in
installed on this Server, then it will give me an option to create a
Mailbox. Of course I can un tick the box that says don't create a Mailbox.

Any advice is very welcome.

Delete the Internet Mail Service, and then recreate the In and Out folders 
in the Imcdata folder. 
Defragment the information store (Suggestion really!) and recreate the

Simon,

I might try and delete the IMS and recreate it when I get a chance.

I don't see how recreating the In and Out folders in the Imcdata folder
would help: that's not where the queue is - those folders are empty.  The
outbound store queue would be within the exchange database itself, wouldn't
it?

Equally I'm not at all happy about embarking on an off-line defragmentation
on the chance that it _might_ resolve the problem: could equally introduce a
whole load more problems (and I'd have to give up part of my weekend to do
it ...)

Thanks for the thoughts, though.

Karen

Karen
Your right it was not listed in Technet - not sure why though!
My first thought was SP4 needs applying - but as you stated before, that was
already applied.

But it is always worth stopping / restaring the IMS or even deleting or
recreating it!

Neil,

Thanks for alerting me to the fact that Simon was quoting a Knowledge Base
article - the article's not on November's Technet despite the website
version being last reviewed in July!  (If we had more reliable internet
access I'd've been more inclined to check the web first: I have been
warned before that it's more up-to-date - but over 3 months!!).

I forgot one important detail: we're using GroupShield 4.0.4 - reading the
full article I've found what will hopefully be the resolution.

Many thanks,

Karen

Hi Everyone,
Quick question.

We are using Outlook 2002 (XP) and in the TO: field if you type in a few
characters it automatically picks up the mailbox name.  We have recently
recreated a few mailboxes and are having a tough time explaining to the
users that they first time they need to select the name from the global
address book to update their mapi to that mailbox.  Is there a file in the
outlook client that deletes all of the cache entries?

Thanks,

RE: Unable to create new mailbox

[WEAVER, Simon]

Ok Kim, stab in the dark time!
My only suggestion is .

Make sure the account has logon as right, logon locally, ect! 
If need be, create a new account with the same rights, or more if possible!

I wish I could help more - let me know if I can assist any further.

The actual error was:

"An error occurred while processing an e-mail address. To view details of
the error, see the application event log in the Windows NT Event Viewer on
the Microsoft Exchange Server computer.  Microsoft Exchange Administrator ID
no: c1030b35"

And the event ID:

Source: MSExchangeSA
Category: General
Event: 5011

"Error, you do not have the permissions required to complete the operation.
occurred during address generation".

I am logged into the Exchange server as the Exchange Admin.  The Exchange
Admin has NT rights as exchange server, Administrator, and Domain Admin.  In
Exchange, ALL the rights are
Permission Admin.

Thanks,

No directly answering your question but the disaster recovery whitepapers do
not tell you to have :

Access to an external address (it helps in testing and having people send
you emails), Access to this group (better then 99.99% of the classes
anyone could take),
Access to TechNet disks from years ago
Software and reference sources to other connectors you might have (Cisco

I am interested in the procedures people have in place for disaster recovery
on Exchange 5.5. I have read the disaster recovery white paper a number of
times but wanted to know what people are doing in the field. The scenario is
two servers in production housed in the same location, the disaster recovery
plan calls for two servers in another location, which would only need to
support a sub-set of the total users. How would you have these servers
configured? Would you have one as a member of the production site to
maintain the directory in the event of both production servers been
unavailable? The remaining server could be used for a short period of time
to duplicate the existing site, running in parallel but not the same site
and create users on here? What do other people do?

Paul

Subject: Need help moving Exchange database log files

I need to move the exchange database logging files (edb and mdb)
off of my main hard drive as they are filling up the drive and shutting
down the Exchange services.  At present I am running Backup Exec with
differential backups and so have turned off Circular logging.  This has
also been suggested in some of the reading I have done on exchange.  As
a
result, more log files are being written in the mdbdata directories.
Ideally, I would like to move these and all other logging files to the
d:
drive and I would like to know, should this be done only when there are
no
users on the system, will this improve or adversly affect the operation
of
the exchange server and will Backup Exec have a problem backing up the
exchange mailboxes if these files are moved in the middle of the day.

An error showed up on Bup Exec yesterday that it could not backup the
Information stores because the log files had been moved or deleted after
I
tried to move a users mailbox and import it on to the Exchange server.
This filled up the c: drive (he had 2000 messages) with loging files in
mdbdata and shut down the Exchange services.  So I moved the log files
to
the d: drive temporarily to get exchange running.  If I move them back
c:\
will fill up again and down the service.

Also, How can I find out how big the information store is for a
particular
user?
What a mess!
Thanks.

Subject: Need help moving Exchange database log files

I need to move the exchange database logging files (edb and mdb)
off of my main hard drive as they are filling up the drive and shutting
down the Exchange services.  At present I am running Backup Exec with
differential backups and so have turned off Circular logging.  This has
also been suggested in some of the reading I have done on exchange.  As
a
result, more log files are being written in the mdbdata directories.
Ideally, I would like to move these and all other logging files to the
d:
drive and I would like to know, should this be done only when there are
no
users on the system, will this improve or adversly affect the operation
of
the exchange server and will Backup Exec have a problem backing up the
exchange mailboxes if these files are moved in the middle of the day.

An error showed up on Bup Exec yesterday that it could not backup the
Information stores because the log files had been moved or deleted after
I
tried to move a users mailbox and import it on to the Exchange server.
This filled up the c: drive (he had 2000 messages) with loging files in
mdbdata and shut down the Exchange services.  So I moved the log files
to
the d: drive temporarily to get exchange running.  If I move them back
c:\
will fill up again and down the service.

Also, How can I find out how big the information store is for a
particular
user?
What a mess!
Thanks.

RE: Need help moving Exchange database log files

[WEAVER, Simon]

My apologies, I was going to reply, but someone beat me to it!
But as detailed below, simply goto the properties of the storage group you
with to move and choose browse.

I would also make sure you have a FULL Backup of exchange once the move has
been successful!

I assume then that you do have Exch2k?

To Move Log Files (from Q257184)

1. Start Exchange System Manager.
2. Locate the Administrative Group.
3. Open the properties on the Storage Group for which you want to change
log file paths.
4. On the General tab, change the Transaction Log Location by clicking
Browse, and then specifying a new drive or directory location for the
log files.

Not sure myself - you can do an Online Backup anytime of the day really - at
least this way the logs get committed to the Database! Of course as

Hi Robin,

Committed transactions in the transaction log file are copied to the
database when one of the following occurs:
* The checkpoint falls too far behind in a previous log file. If the
number
of committed transactions in the log files reaches a certain threshold,
ESE
will flush these changes to disk.
* The number of free pages in memory becomes too low, possibly affecting
system performance. In this case, committed transactions in memory are
flushed to disk to free up pages in memory for system use.
* Another service is requesting additional memory and ESE needs to free
up
some of the memory it is currently using. ESE flushes pages from memory
to
the database and then updates the checkpoint file.
* The database service is shutting down. In this case, all updated pages
in
memory are copied to the database file.
Bear in mind that pages are not copied from memory in any particular
order
and may not all be copied at the same time. The random order in which
the
pages are copied back to disk means that if there is a system crash
while
pages are being written to disk, the database file may have only
portions of
a committed transaction updated in the actual file. In this event, when
the
Store.exe process is started, the transaction will be replayed from the
transaction log files and the database will be updated completely.

My question is - why can you not do an online Backup? What reasons are
there
for not doing one? Are they failing for some reason? If possible, its
nice
to get the Backup Software to commit the logs to the DB :)

Actually, its really easy - you could use a cross-over cable and connect to
the 2 PC's, or simply get a small 4-port hub, network cables and just attach
2 Pc's and install NT / Win2k Server. For test reasons, it's the way to
start, especially if you cannot justify the cost of a server (Not everyone
can!)

If you need any help, please let me know

Lee / Tim,

What I have done is setup a test lab, using several servers, and 2 PC's and
install / configure the products I wish to learn.

I also do this with help from books for the product, TechNet, online help
and Microsoft White papers! I am learning new things about exchange all the
time (especially 2k), and this list is on most occasions helpful and provide
good insight.

But there is nothing better than getting hands on experience yourself. Even
if you cannot afford some servers, just network 2 PC's and play around!

Subject: Need help moving Exchange database log files

I need to move the exchange database logging files (edb and mdb)
off of my main hard drive as they are filling up the drive and shutting
down the Exchange services.  At present I am running Backup Exec with
differential backups and so have turned off Circular logging.  This has
also been suggested in some of the reading I have done on exchange.  As a
result, more log files are being written in the mdbdata directories.
Ideally, I would like to move these and all other logging files to the d:
drive and I would like to know, should this be done only when there are no
users on the system, will this improve or adversly affect the operation of
the exchange server and will Backup Exec have a problem backing up the
exchange mailboxes if these files are moved in the middle of the day.

An error showed up on Bup Exec yesterday that it could not backup the
Information stores because the log files had been moved or deleted after I
tried to move a users mailbox and import it on to the Exchange server.
This filled up the c: drive (he had 2000 messages) with loging files in
mdbdata and shut down the Exchange services.  So I moved the log files to
the d: drive temporarily to get exchange running.  If I move them back c:\
will fill up again and down the service.

Also, How can I find out how big the information store is for a particular
user?
What a mess!
Thanks.

I've read some of the responses to your problem.  I am assuming that your
CEO is using internet mail as opposed to server-based.  I have found that in
most cases of internet mail the e-mail is stored in a *.pst (Personal
Folders) file.  If you save that *.pst file, you should be grabbing
everything in the user's profile:  contacts, calendar items, e-mail files,
etc.

Usually a search for *.pst files from the Start menu then click on
Find/Files or Folders on the C: drive will get you what you need.

Hope that helps!

I had the same thing happen, I got around it by doing the following;

1) Stop All Exchange Services.
2) Remove All Files in MDBData and Logfile Dir (priv, pub, and log
files).
3) Start Exchange Admin and Exchange Store.
4) Again - Remove All Files in MDBData and Logfile Dirs.
5) Restore Files from Tape.
6) Mount Stores or Stop All Exchange Services and Restart Exchange.

All worked fine after restore.

Hi,
I tried to simulate a disaster recovery scenario. The downside is the
recovery was not a success. I do FULL Online Backups of my Exchange
Server.
I stopped the services, deleted the core components of MDBDATA and
MDTDATA
once the services were stopped and then restarted.

Obviously, exchange complained! Brilliant - lets restore from Backup!

Performed a restore while the services were online and it completed with
errors. Checked the event log and there were errors stating that the
Mailbox
store could not be mounted. I verified a Technet Article (Q253931) and
it
told me that I should have selected "Last Backup Set" - however I could
not
find this option in Veritas.

So I decided to run the ESEUTIL /CC tool as per the Technet
instructions.
>From the Exchange Server BIN Directory at a command prompt I typed the
following:

Eseutil /cc C:\temp\First Storage Group 

This generated a Jet error that I have yet to find any TechNet article
against. I spent a long time sorting this out, to no avail. In the end I
started from scratch and rebuilt the Server.

I was not happy about this, because I wanted to simulate recovery
procedures. Does anyone have any idea what mistake(s) I may have made
about
this?

Any feedback is most welcome, considering I am quite new to Ex2k.

Thanks

RE: Ex2k Restore Failed using Backupexec - UPDATE!

[WEAVER, Simon]

Hello gurus
Sorry to bother you, but I thought I would just update you with my disaster
recovery scenario.
Here is what I done:

1. Stopped All exchange Services
2. Deleted the *Data Folders under Exchsrve program folder
3. Restarted Exchange Services
4. Exchange started to Complain that although the objects existed in AD, the
files were missing.
5. Ran NTBackup. Prior to starting step 1. I had created a BRAND NEW online
Exchange backup.
6. Dismounted the Mailbox/Public Store. Stated this could be over written by
a Restore.
7. Restored the Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store icon, and chose
Last Backup Set and Mount Databases. Specified that C:\TEMP was the location
to store the restore.env file and logs!
8. Restore stated it was completed.
9. Checked Event Log. Found a whole load of Exchange Error messages stating
that Hard was not completed. The Event ID's are as per the Technet Article
Q253931
10. Opened a command prompt, went to the exchsrvr BIN Directory, run the
following command as per the Technet Article - ESEUTIL /CC C:\Temp\First
Storage Group . I should point out that the First Storage
Group folder was created by NTBackup/Exchange and not me!
11. The screen scrolls down with various options for this tool and I am
presented with an ">" if I press any key, it takes me back to the command
prompt. When viewing the details on the screen I see a Jet error, which is
stating that it cannot find the restore files). Again, I am still unable to
find any Technet article on this problem.
12. Try to restore from an Offline Backup. Stop all Services, perform
Restore. Reboot the Server and I am still unable to mount the Databases :(
13. Stop all services, deleted the *DATA Folders, restart services, mount
Mailbox/Public store and create new stores. 
14. Reimport my data from a .PST File

As you can see, I am not having much success :( And I am very disturbed that
despite the fact I am following all the directions from Microsoft's Technet
/ white papers, I am still experiencing problems!

Can anyone actually tell me or confirm that they have tried to simulate a DR
scenario like this and they have 100% recovered successfully.

[WEAVER, Simon]

Hi Ben,
Actually, you are right in what you say, however, NTBackup would not see the
Backup Exec media! It tries to attempt to read the tape (takes 1 second)
then does nothing! I tried to catalogue the tape, but had no effect!

Tonight I am going to perform an NTBACKUP OFF-LINE for recovery, and then an
ON-LINE Exchange Backup! I will delete the *DATA Folders. Make it crash and
then do a restore using NTBACKUP.

Veritas are also going to give me some white papers on recovering exchange
2000 using their product, so I will see how I get on.

I just want to know whether I am the problem, or whether it was in fact a
problem with my backup! I will soon find out :)

Thanks A lot ben

Simon,  Another option you may want to consider is that BE can be restored
by using NTBackup.  At least, last time I checked.  Since all the MS
Whitepapers point to using NTBackup, it could make the restore scenario a
bit easier to follow.  Worth a try?

Yes Peter. I also dismounted the stores first :)
Then ticked the box, this can be overwritten by a restore!

Obviously I think the problem here is me :) But if anyone can offer some
guidance on what I should / should NOT have done, then I am all ears. I have
downloaded all the white papers from Microsoft and Veritas on disaster
recovery scenarios, so I will give this a try this evening.

But if this was a "real" disaster recovery situation, then I would look
extremely stupid :(

Subject: Ex2k Restore Failed using Backupexec


Hi,
I tried to simulate a disaster recovery scenario. The downside is the
recovery was not a success. I do FULL Online Backups of my Exchange Server.
I stopped the services, deleted the core components of MDBDATA and MDTDATA
once the services were stopped and then restarted.

Obviously, exchange complained! Brilliant - lets restore from Backup!

Performed a restore while the services were online and it completed with
errors. Checked the event log and there were errors stating that the Mailbox
store could not be mounted. I verified a Technet Article (Q253931) and it
told me that I should have selected "Last Backup Set" - however I could not
find this option in Veritas.

So I decided to run the ESEUTIL /CC tool as per the Technet instructions.
>From the Exchange Server BIN Directory at a command prompt I typed the
following:

Eseutil /cc C:\temp\First Storage Group 

This generated a Jet error that I have yet to find any TechNet article
against. I spent a long time sorting this out, to no avail. In the end I
started from scratch and rebuilt the Server.

I was not happy about this, because I wanted to simulate recovery
procedures. Does anyone have any idea what mistake(s) I may have made about
this?

Any feedback is most welcome, considering I am quite new to Ex2k.

Thanks

RE: Analysing log files in MDBDATA

Another reason for huge growth (That's if you ARE doing an Exchange Aware

Verify that nothing is taking place in their areas, and perform an online

Arcserve does Brick Level Backups - as part of the Exchange add-on agent.
You can only restore a mailbox if you have backed the mailbox up - thus you
have performed an Exchange Brick Level Backup of the Mailboxes.
 
Personally, I would set the deleted item retention period to several months
if you have to! I am not overly keen on Brick Level Backups.

Yes, we us ARCserve 2000 Exchange Backup Agent to back up Exchange 5.5, SP4
... and yes, we have restored using the backups it takes.
 
I agree it's not totally unknown for the Backup Agent RPC to Dr Watson out -
but usually only when doing a BLB (which we all know we don't need to be
doing - and now that our migration from the Exchange client to Outlook is
nearing completion and people can use Recover Deleted Items we won't be
doing any longer): I can't recall having a problem with either the Directory
or Information Store.
 
As for re-registering everything after the upgrade from ARCserve 6.x, all I
had to do was enter the 8-digit customer ID and postcode, and select the
product and enter the 16-digit registration code from the License Program
Certificate supplied via our resellers (who do the talking to CA on our
behalf on the odd occasions we've needed to).

Juan this list helped me with the same question.
First make sure that MX records for domain_b & c are pointing at the
same ip
as domain_a.
Then in exchange admin goto connections,imc connector, routing
add domain_b and c and set to inbound.
add smtp address for users user@domain_a user@domain_b user@domain_c

I am pretty sure that you can only have one address as the reply
address.
Someone correct me if I am wrong on that.

Its that simple.

I just posted this not a month ago. This list is great but the archives
might make it easier for you.

Ex2k Restore Failed using Backupexec

[WEAVER, Simon]

Hi,
I tried to simulate a disaster recovery scenario. The downside is the
recovery was not a success.
I do FULL Online Backups of my Exchange Server. I stopped the services,
deleted the core components of MDBDATA and MDTDATA once the services were
stopped and then restarted.
 
Obviously, exchange complained! Brilliant - lets restore from Backup!
 
Performed a restore while the services were online and it completed with
errors. Checked the event log and there were errors stating that the Mailbox
store could not be mounted. I verified a Technet Article (Q253931) and it
told me that I should have selected "Last Backup Set" - however I could not
find this option in Veritas.
 
So I decided to run the ESEUTIL /CC tool as per the Technet instructions.
>From the Exchange Server BIN Directory at a command prompt I typed the
following:
 
Eseutil /cc C:\temp\First Storage Group 
 
This generated a Jet error that I have yet to find any TechNet article
against. I spent a long time sorting this out, to no avail. In the end I
started from scratch and rebuilt the Server.
 
I was not happy about this, because I wanted to simulate recovery
procedures. Does anyone have any idea what mistake(s) I may have made about
this?
 
Any feedback is most welcome, considering I am quite new to Ex2k.
 
Thanks

Juan this list helped me with the same question.
First make sure that MX records for domain_b & c are pointing at the
same ip as domain_a. Then in exchange admin goto connections,imc
connector, routing add domain_b and c and set to inbound. add smtp
address for users user@domain_a user@domain_b user@domain_c

I am pretty sure that you can only have one address as the reply
address. Someone correct me if I am wrong on that.

Its that simple.

I just posted this not a month ago. This list is great but the archives
might make it easier for you.

RE: Server sizing

[WEAVER, Simon]

JK

Compaq Proliant, 512MB RAM, RAID1 for Operating System, RAID5 drives for the
Database. If possible place the Logs on a separate drive (RAID1 should be
ok). PIII 800mhz or faster is more than enough.

Don't go by the Microsoft recommendations. If possible, place Exchange on a
Member Server in a Domain, rather than a Domain Controller. 

One of my clients is a 12 user base, they have a PIII 700 with 512MB RAM and
is a DC (Only Server in the Domain).  If money is not an issue, try to make
the server as fault tolerant as possible.

Hope this helps! Might sound overspecced, but prices are cheap for RAM /
Storage.

normal operations.  They're a waste of time.  If other people on this
list wish to do them regularly (even 6 monthly) then that's fine, as
long as you don't say that I was one of the people who stated this was a
good thing to do.

There, got that off my chest.  :-)

Simon,

I just type more experienced than I actually am. Judging by what I've
learned from the many great individuals on this list, I'd say leave it
alone. However, I have never administered an Exch 2k box. I would await
a reply from someone with more experience.

I implemented Exch2k SP2 6 months ago for only 12 users.
By default, would it do any real harm performing a defrag? Or would you
recommend leaving it for the time being

60+ users, running Exchange 5.5 std edition for about 4 years. Never
60+ once
ran an offline defrag. I've got about 16mb white space in my priv.edb
and about 4mb in my pub.edb.

Online maintenance seems to be doing a pretty good job in our
environment.

hehe - I think so - by regular I meant occuring at a (reasonably)
regular interval. ie every 6 months or so - which when I was admining a
5.5 site -  was how often I took the servers offline for a few hours to
defrag.  regular <> everyday!!... - (I think my users would be a little

>>Offline defrag is necessary regular maintenance task

No it isn't. 

>>never make a change or perform any task of significance
without being 110% sure

I typically stop at 100.

>>Building an exchange box and recovering the info
stores should take no where near a weekend if your DRP policies are
accurate
and tested

Absolutely.  A typical install of 5.5 with a 10GB Info Store should be
recovered in a few hours.

>>Additionally information regarding using eseutil to defrag priv.edb is
freely available in technet

Actually, all the information on eseutil is not freely available.  There
are
a few switches and applications PSS doesn't make public.

Offline defrag is necessary regular maintenance task, and if your DB
fills
the disk at any time youll be jumping through very similar hoops to
