Migration to full 2003 exch and domain with badly named Directory
Hi I have an NT4 domain with Exch 5.5 on a BDC. The BDC is named in the format AA_BB, where the "_" character is not allowed under 2003. I understand how to rename the serveron the domain only, before upgrading the domain, but from the exchange point of view what do I do. do I have to exmerge everything and then exmerge back into a full exch 2003 fresh install do I create a new exch 2003 server on a different machine but same site as 5.5 and use the move mailbox util Ideally there would a utility I could run on the 5.5 server to rename the relevant properites prior to any upgrades. Please help Brenden regards

I would introduce a temporary server into the mix, give it a proper name and then install exchange onto it, use 5.5 if you have the media available. Follow this to get rid of the original server http://support.microsoft.com/kb/152959/EN-US/ Then build the server again from scratch and carry out a proper Exchange migration. There isn't a need to do exmerge in your case. "Brenden" wrote: > Hi > > I have an NT4 domain with Exch 5.5 on a BDC.

Full path of a file in a VS2005 project?
How do you check the dir path of any of the files (.cpp. .h, etc) included in any of the VisualStudio2005 projects? The best way to find out would be in the Solution Explorer, normally on the left side, position on the file name, right click and select Properties.

Outlook 2003 keeps corrupting my PST
I have used Outlook for years now, but not until 2003 have I been ready to throw it out the window. My experience has been: 1) OL constantly gets locked up forcing me to kill the process - it often pegs the processor at 100% 2) OL constantly corrupts the PST - I often have to use SCAN PST 4-5 times a day. Corruptions do not always follow lock-up, but often do. 3) I constantly get messages saying OL is low on resources and then it will not allow an operation such as saving the email (so I can restart and complete), or send 4) OL has trouble exporting to other files, moving messages to f...
Exchange 2003 Send as Permissions
Hi, I am running a 2003 Exchange server. I set the 'send as' permission via the 'Permissions' (edit ACL) tab for User1 to send on behalf of User2. This then works for around 24 hours, at which point the permissions are removed. I assume that some type of maintenance routine is removing the relevant permissions, not sure why or how however! I know you can set the 'send on behalf of' setting but this displays the mail in a way that the recipient can tell who has really sent the mail - my customer does not want this! Any suggestions (sensible ones anyway) would be great...
