Exchange 2003 System manager hangs
Hello, When I try to view the public folders using the Exchange system manager (root > Folder > Public folders), system manager takes the server utilization to 100% and stops responding. I let it run overnight to see what would happen: nothing. Set up a testserver from scratch: same problem. Searched the knowledgebase and found some articles, but the given solutions do not apply to this problem. Anybody a clue? Greetings, Simon Weel Are there any error events being logged that have anything to do with HTTP, W3SVC etc? - Genevieve -- This posting is provided "AS IS"...

Exchange 2003 performance Question
Hi all, This has been asked before, but its difficult sifting through 100's of messages. I have a single Domain in a Single Forest. We have two domain controllers 1 in our west coast office and 1 in our east coast office. They are connected by a VPN tunnel. The exchange server is located in West Coast office. both domain controllers are Global catalog servers and the RID,PID, and Infrastructure roles are handled by the West Coast Domain Controller. I ran the best practices analizer on the server and one thing it mentioned is that the query time for domain controller access and g...

Inherited permissions on Exchange Domain Servers Group won't stay checked
Hi there, We are in a bit of a bind. The Inherited Permissions box for the Exchange Domain servers group in our child domain (child.parent.local) keeps unchecking itself. We are running W2K3 with E2K3, one parent domain and 3 child domains. Only one of the 3 child domains is having this problem. Replication occurs every 15 mins, and the change happens about 30 mins after we reset the permission. As you can imagine this is playing havoc with our RUS. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ...

Retrieve POP3 from Exchange 2003?
I have exchange 2003 standard. Currently have the individual Outlook clients retrieving their own POP3 mail from our ISP. Is there a way to have the Exchange server do this for them? I'm asking because the Outlook client has to be active in order to check the mail, but I have a few people who go out in the field and don't turn on their computers in the office... so they can check mail via the Outlook web access, but it will only show them the internally sent mails.. not any that are on their ISP account. Any ideas? I am planning on bringing all our e-mail in house, but haven't fi...

Exchange 5.5 RPC Problems
Our 5.5/SP4 environment has started to be problematic regularly, since it's been in a mixed AD 2003/5.5 site. The 3x 5.5mailbox servers will "randomly" lose RPC conenctivity to Outlook clients, however OWA will continue to work. There's nothing suspicious logged in the event logs. The only fix is to restart the information store, or if it's our IMAP server, we have to restart the whole server otherwsie IMAP won't work. Any clues, or tools? I've tried RCP Ping tools but the documentation is shitty. How can I use that to determine the availability, ideally I coul...

Exchange Running on Domain Controller
Cannot move mailboxes between stores from a server acting as DC or GC with Exchange installed. Standalone server in domain, running EXCH, with administrator rights on server, all moves can be done, even select that ADM Group where the Integrated server (exch and DC) reside and can perform moves. Logon locally on the Integrated server, does'nt work. read some docs, find that you have to be local admin of server or wrokstation where GUI is installed and run. With the move of mailboxes, it creates a dynamic MAPI profile. Where? Reason, if providing rights to that folder where the MAPI profile...

Moving exchange 2000 install to a SAN drive
Good Morning! I was wondering if there is another way to move the entire exchange 2k install to a SAN drive? Or can I just change which drive the virtual M uses?? The only thing I have seen that might do this is the disaster recovery insanity. I would rather only do that if there is a disaster....but if it keeps from having one, I'm willing to try it. The info store is already on the SAN. I have already moved the transaction logs and system path location to the SAN. This is the only exchange server I have. Not a DC, just exchange on it.

Exchange not releasing mailbox size
I'll try to explain this as best as I can. I have Exchage 200, and I've implemented 100 MB limit on all users. With some users even though they are deleting stuff from the mailbox, their size just increases until it reaches 100 MB and they are blocked. But, on Outlook their showing lot less then 100 MB, so their actual size is not 100MB but lets say 50MB or 40MB. Any solution for this ? Are the users clearing their deleted items folder as well? -- Mark Fugatt Microsoft Limited This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. "Drilon&q...

I maintain an Exchange 5.5 server with 150 mailboxes. It is the standard version of Exchange, so I am limited by the 16 gigabyte cap on my Priv.edb file.

Anyone using GFI Faxmaker Exchange?
Can anyone tell me if they use this product? I am trying to get a high-level overview of its usage - can someone describe their setup? Thank you. Faxmaker has a nifty little feature that will detect the faxnumber from the document and fax it without any further user intervention. For instance, each month I have to fax off 50 suppliers remmitance advices. These advices are generated from our accounts package and in the "old days" we would print them out and stand over a fax machine sending them one by one. Now, we print them to a Faxmaker printer called "NetPrintQueue2Fax...

2 offices, 2 exchange servers
I have two offices, in different countries. I setup each with its own DC/Exchange servers and have the two connected via a site-to-site vpn. I setup a connector between them and all inbound mail comes into server a and gets routed to b through the vpn. On the outbound side, folks on server a send mail through it. On server b in the other office I set up a smtp connection to send email directly out of it as well. Is there any concerns with email from my single domain coming out of two different IP's? Not as long as both servers have reverse DNS records. James Chong (MVP) MCSE | M+, ...

Need help on merging database on Exchange 2003
Hi, My server is running SBS 2003 with exchange 2003 enabled. Unfortunately, the anti-virus software deleted a log file under the mdbdata folder and thus the exchange wasnt running. I was able to get it running by deleting all the files on the mdbdata folder and starting from scratch. Now, the users only get new emails and their old emails are gone. I want to be able to recover the old emails/contacts,etc. I still have the priv1.edb file but the .stm file could not be restored from the backup. What would be the best way to recover those old emails? I tried just renaming the mdbdata folder but...

Exchange 5.5 reboot required
On our Exchange server that is running exchange 5.5 and NT 4 we have to reboot it everytime we add a new user to E-Mail and our AD on the 2003 server before the user can log into there E-Mail. Any Ideas? The Exchange server can see the user in User manager and I can assign the user as the primary mail account but it denies security like the SID is not being propergated to the NT 4 server until you reboot it.
