RE: Uninstall Exchange 2000
You may want to do a little write-up on this little bit of troubleshooting and send it to the tool's author, Mark Russinovich. He likes to post these stories on his blog or even talk about them in presentations at TechEd. A long shot, but maybe he'd even bring back compatibility in the new tool for this very scenario? ~JasonG -Original Message- From: Steve Hart [mailto:sh...@wrightbg.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 20:46 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Uninstall Exchange 2000 SCORE!!

RE: Uninstall Exchange 2000
Getting back to my E2000 server that won't go away, I've already gone through http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288905%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx The Exchange uninstall process is still dying with Access Denied when removing registry entries. If I go through http://support.microsoft.com/kb/260378/ to manually remove the server will that leave any baggage in AD? Alternatively, since we are going to trash the server anyway, can we just do the last step start Exchange System Manager and select the server object. Right-click the object, click All Tasks, and then click Remove Server and skip the registry work on the server?

RE: Uninstall Exchange 2000
I'm checking permissions on each of registry keys specified in KN 260378, trying to determine why my uninstall is failing. I got to thinking if these are the keys that would need to be manually deleted, then these are probably the keys the uninstall is trying to delete. When I try to look at permissions on the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeMGMT, I get a popup reading The permissions on MSExchangeMGMT are incorrectly ordered, which may cause some entries to be ineffective. Press OK to continue and sort the permissions correctly, or Cancel to reset the permissions. Any idea what the permissions should be on this key?

SCORE!! Thanks Ben, I've been struggling with this off and on for months and this finally did the trick. Process Monitor wouldn't work on the particular patch level on Win 2K I had, but it led me to find an old copy of RegMon. That enabled me to pin down the key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\WinReg as the culprit. A little googling told me that SYSTEM typically has full control over that key and it didn't in my case. I added that permission, ran the uninstall and it completed perfectly.

RE: Uninstall Exchange 2000 - Install new 2007
The main challenge I _think_ you will have is that the install will try to create a routing group connector and (depending on how much of the 2000 server is left in AD) use the SMTP virtual server on the Exchange 2000 server to send email. You can defeat that by, after completing the install, removing any RGCs that are present, and creating an Internet Send Connector on the new server. Obviously - IMO - you should still get that server taken care of. You won't be able to upgrade to Exchange 2010 or later while it is still in AD. Regards, Michael B.

My next task on this network is to install a new E2007 server. (We already have E2007 installed and we're migrating to better hardware). I'm installing E2007SP3 on Win 2008R2 and I'm under some heat to get the new install up and running. The install reports under Mailbox Role Prerequisites that it can't find an RUS for each of our three domains. That makes sense because I removed the RUS as part of removing the last E2000 server. Since E2007 doesn't use RUS, I'm guessing that that this error is due to the remaining E2000 server that I haven't managed to get rid of yet. Does anyone see any problems in going ahead with the E20007 install?

RE: Exchange 2000 sp3 with sp3 rollup.(Windows 2000 AD) mail flow problem
After spending 6 hours cleaning stores the problems remain. Let me summarize... External email works fine and has thoughout the event. I can send email to a bounce account and it responds without issue, with the exception of when mail piles up in the lookup and pre submission queue. LAN Outlook 2003 clients get, outlook is trying to retrieve data from the microsoft exchange server , all the time. If the Exchange server is restarted, LAN clients can connect and send/receive mail for 10 -20 minutes then back to the above message and no email delivery. In the meantime I have checked to make DNS and DHCP is working properly. DCPROMO'd an additional DC/GC with AD/DNS local with no change in behavior of Exchange server. I think the LAN clients difficulty connecting and the fact that both Exchange servers had problems at the same time points to and AD/security related issue. Your thoughts are welcomed. MS is to call me tomorrow am to follow up. It would be very cool to have a solution before they call. The client would think so too! Cheers.

RE: Exchange 2000 queue stuck
It appears that the queue built up as a result of a malformed journaling connector. Deleting the connector unfortunately allowed the queue to retry and deliver the mail over the regular SMTP. So, I never found the emails, and now they are delivered. I still wish I knew why I couldn't find the queue. All the normal queue locations were empty. Oh well, at least the queue is empty...

Add a second server. Install Exchange on it Configure it as a front end exchange server. Enable forms-based authentication and SSL on this front end box. Get a SSL cert either from Entrust, Verisign, etc or configure your own in-house Certificate Authority and get a cert from that server.

Re: Exchange 2000 OWA is open.
There is evidence in the Exchange security log that unwanted folks are trying to gain access via OWA and they want it to stop. As long as OWA is freely accessible, it WILL be attacked. If the business owners want it to stop, OWA _HAS_ to not be available publicly. An SSL VPN would take care of this, as it forces the authentication through a web accessible technology before anything else can occur. ISA would do something similar. In both cases, you're just moving the point of attack.

There is evidence in the Exchange security log that unwanted folks are trying to gain access via OWA and they want it to stop. Put it on a non-standard port and distribute shortcuts via logon scripting. That'll stop most of the worms at least (is it still codered you're seeing).

Exchange 2000 SP3 - Doesn't remove Post-SP2 Security Hotfix
I installed Windows 2000 SP3, then Exchange 2000 SP3 on our 'test' production box (it's a desktop configured equal to our production server) It had the following to Post-SP2 hotfixes on it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q320436 (Malformed Mail Attack) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q316056 (Admin Tool Fixes) When I installed SP3 for Exchange, it left both in add/remove. Looking at the Exchange SP3 fix list, Q320436 is there as included. Q316056 is not, and its Q articles still says Post-SP2. An Example file from Q320436 29-Apr-2002 15:04 6.0.5770.91676,352 %EXSRVROOT%\Bin\Davex.dll --After SP3 Install 18-Jun-2002 10:17 6.0.6249.0 660,000 %EXSRVROOT%\Bin\Davex.dll An Example file from Q315056 Mad.exe 6.0.5770.21 --After SP3 Install Mad.exe 6.0.6249.0 So, 2 questions: 1. Is Q315056 included in SP3 even though the include list doesn't have it. 2. Should I remove them both through add/remove or will this cause issues? Thanks All!

RE: Exchange 2000 SP3 - Doesn't remove Post-SP2 Security Hotfix
Do you mean Q316056 ? The changes in that are going to be in SP3, as there are later builds of system attendant. Q320436 towards the bottom of the article it says that it is first fixed in SP 3. As post-sp2 fixes are developed there comes a point of cut off whereby the post-sp2 fixes continue for a little while, but those changes aren't applied to SP3, as that code becomes frozen. So there will be a post-sp2 hotfix for something, and also a post-sp3 hot fix for it as well. I would say since there are later builds of system attendant referenced in q articles on microsoft.com, that you have those in SP 3. With regards to removing them from add/remove programs.. Hmm not sure. I certainly wouldn't do it on a production machine !

Re: Exchange 2000 SP3 - Doesn't remove Post-SP2 Security Hotfix
from reading some of the articles on sp3 I have gleaned that if sp3 says it's going to change files associated with a particular hotfix you must reinstall the hotfix after sp3. somebody stop me if I'm wrong. I'm going to do a little more research before jumping in with both feet. most of my clients only have production machines so I don't have the luxury of testing in their environment first.

Thanks Rob -Original Message- From: Garrett Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 July 2002 19:15 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Reposting: Groupwise 6 and Exchange 2000 Co-existence Hello, I've set up the Groupwise API gateway for Groupwise version 6 and the MS Novel Groupwise connector for Exchange 2000. After playing with it for a little bit, I've gotten them to exchange directory information, but I haven't gotten them to successfully route messages between the two systems. They both return NDR's with out much helpful information. On the Exchange 2000 side of things, the bounce message is being returned by the Groupwise connector, and the ID of the recipient is correct, but the messages just aren't making it across the connector. The purpose of this is to give us the time needed to do a migration. We will not be able to do a quick migration...so we will need the co-existance.

Hello, I could not find anything that stated either way as to whether or not it was compatible with Groupwise 6. However, Groupwise is using the same API gateway that it has used in previous versions...so I would expect it to work!?

RE: Exchange 2000 SP3
Damn, Somebody at CA must have some pretty incriminating pictures of you to make you load all of their software on that box. When you are at your wits end and have just about given up, remove, not just disable, the CA stuff,reboot, and see what happens. I believe the BkExpandDontRun key gets loaded everytime you eat a Whopper. -Original Message- From: Charles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 5:21 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2000 SP3 Importance: High Hello Tom, I have the following: Windows 2000 sp2 e-trust anti-virus (CA) Arcserve IT SP3 (CA) Exchange Agent for Arcserver IT ISA SP1 Exchange 2000 SP3 Hp LC2000 512 MB RAM 40GB RAID I did disable all non-essential services, Including the anti-virus and backup. -Original Message- From: Tom Meunier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 5:13 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2000 SP3 It's probably time to call PSS.

Exchange 2000 server trying to contact decommissioned 5.5 server
Hello All, I have recently installed a Exchange 2000 server and migrated all of the mailboxes, contacts, public folders over to this server from an Exchange 5.5 server. The 5.5 server has since been removed from the site organization and formatted for other usage. All has been well, I haven't had any issues with clients connecting or mail flow but I do get the following error within the event logs: An RPC communications error occurred. Unable to bind over RPC. Locality Table (LTAB) index: 164, Windows 2000/MTA error code: 1722. Comms error 1722, Bind error 0, Remote Server Name NTSERVER [MAIN BASE 1 500 %10] (14) It seems as if the E2K server is trying to communicate with the removed e55 server. I followed all of the KB articles when I removed the e55 server so I am unsure why it is still trying to communicate with it. The closest articles i see to this issue has something to do with the e55 service account. The site has been converted to native mode so the tab that allows me to change the service account pswd isn't there any more. One thing I do notice is in the Public\System folders. In the System manager, Under Offline address book, I notice there are two entries. One is: /o=Playknits/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Default Offline Address List the other is: EX:/o=Playknits/ou=PLAYKNITS Are there supposed to be two entries in this? The other thing I noticed was under the Events Root System Folder, there is an item called EventConfig_NTSERVER. NTSERVER was the name of the E55 server which has been decomissioned. Should I delete this entry. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. I keep getting the error messages every 10 minutes. â²Ð¡j»^©Ý¶m§ÿðà .·¥¶Ê ·«yÊýì\ ©àzX¬µÈZ®×«Ù
FW: Exchange 2000 server trying to contact decommissioned 5.5 server
Looks like I solved the issue. I removed the entry under the Events Root system folder (EventConfig_NTSERVER) but 10 minutes later the error reappear. I then restarted the MTA Stacks service and I have been monitoring the logs since, so far no errors. I will keep monitoring the logs to see if it reappaears, hopefully it wont.

RE: Exchange 2000 - Enterprise
No, I meant the pricing. Apparently I can run the enterprise edition right over the top. This is a single site single org, that just needs more space, so wasn't worried about that. But now I have to get another 6k for the version and toss out the old version.

Exchange 2000 coexisting with Groupwise 6
Hello, I've set up the Groupwise API gateway for Groupwise version 6 and the MS Novel Groupwise connector for Exchange 2000. After playing with it for a little bit, I've gotten them to exchange directory information, but I haven't gotten them to successfully route messages between the two systems. They both return NDR's with out much helpful information. On the Exchange 2000 side of things, the bounce message is being returned by the Groupwise connector, and the ID of the recipient is correct, but the messages just are making it across the connector. The purpose of this is to give us the time needed to do a migration. We will not be able to do a quick migration...so we will need the co-existance. Also, each system is using the same SMTP domain name. Thanks for the help.
