There are 3 folders in c:\exchsrvr\imcdata named 'in', 'log', and 'out'. The 'in' and 'out' folders each contain 1.30 GB of data in some type of log file form. The 'log' folder contains 760 MB of data. I do not know the structure of exchange very well, and I am wondering if I can delete the files in these folders. Will they re-replicate? Will this kill the exchnage server? These seem to be the individual transactions that have been processed through the exchange server, but they do not remove themselves. They are not my users mailboxes because I have them setup on another larger partition. Does anyone know what these files are for sure?

RE: Scheduling NT Server Reboots
Well...if you'd like the skinny, here it is. We run a Win NT 4.0 BackOffice Server w/ sp6a. The database package (which runs on top of SQL Server 7.0) which we use contains a service that doesn't like sp6a. The developer of the software has confirmed this and unfortuantely the patch was applied before I began employment here. We have been planning an eventual upgrade of the software which is supposed to fix this problem, but for now the easiest way to circumvent the particular DCOM registration timeout is to reboot the server nightly. Uninstalling sp6a is not an option because it doesn't uninstalled cleanly. I have attempted to run down the bug, and I followed the service ID string into the registry. That's when I found out that the developers service was not registering itself into DCOM. Called the software companyetc, etc. I was ready to rip my hair out for a while trying to diagnose this problem, but when the developer told me it's a bug my hair got to stay. The system's DCOM seems to have a timeout value of about 1 1/2 days. So I have resigned myself to this course of action and manually remote reboot the system every night.

Attack that problem rather than applying a bandaid. That said, you can use the scheduler to schedule the program. Type at /? at a command prompt. If I'm not mistaken, the reskit also has a GUI front end to the scheduler. Or if you have an APC UPS, it has an ability to reboot servers on a schedule. -Original Message- From: Matthew Oppermann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 1:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Scheduling NT Server Reboots I have been looking around, hoping to find a way to do automatic reboots to an NT server.

RE: Scheduling NT Server Reboots
The reboot scheme that I've set up is working fine. Thanks to all who assisted me.

The boxes I have with just services (file/print, exchange, wins, dns, etc) seem the most reliable. put a 3rd party app on there, reboot time. (or at least stop/restart service). sql server up since 11/4/00 I had a pdc that I replaced after being up 2 years when we had to replace the UPS in the datacenter. Then again, I've got print servers that I reboot almost weekly, and a CD tower machine that has a scheduled reboot Sunday@ midnight cause of crappy drivers. for reliability, divide work among servers, don't use version 1.0 of apps, don't use even numbered service packs, don't run 16 bit apps on servers (or dedicate a box). anyone else have reliability tricks to share?
