    - MDBVU32 Unavailable? Maybe not an exchange issue, strictly speaking, but we are getting errors on our backups that the folder \Exchange Tools\MDBVU32 cannot be backed up. When I try to click on that folder, I get a message that C:\Exchange Tools\MDBVU32 is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. Question 1: How big a deal is this? I've never had occasion to use mdbvu32 before, so I'm thinking I can probably get by without it in the short term. But what if we ever need to restore our exchnage server from backup -- is it going to be a problem not having this folder backed up? Question 2: How do I go about fixing the problem? Can I just copy this folder from CD or from another installation? Thanks Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690807

    - Password Expiration and notification in OWA 2003 I have a quick question and I apologize if this is not in the correct newsgroup. If it is not, please let me know where I should put this and I will make the correction. We use Exchange 2003 and the majorioty of our users use OWA 2003 to access thier e-mail. For many of them, this is thier only way of logging in (they share computers with other people) and about a year or so ago, they stopped getting password expiration notifications and we have a lot of user's passwords expiring without them knowing. I looked into this and it seems to be an IIS issue. Accord to kb article 297121 I should run the asdutil.vbs script to set the passwordchangeflags setting to 1. I checked the current default setting and it is currently 6. KB article 920723 states that 6 is the default setting for IIS 6.0 (which we are running on our front end-servers) and that setting means that "Password changing and password expiration notification is disabled". The last part of that statement seems to be true but the first part is not. Our users CAN change thier AD password through OWA. Here are my questions: What does that "6" setting really mean? Our users can change thier AD passwords but they are not getting the notifications. What does the suggested "1" setting really mean? What impact could that have on my Exchange servers? (I don't think it will have a major impact, I just other people's experience and opinion before I make the change, if I make it at all) If I do make the change, what do I need to do to have the change reflected? Do I need to stop and restart IIS? Reboot my exchange front end servers? Thank you for any and all help and guidance that you can provide. Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690799

    - Deleting databases and logs Exchange 2003 Hi, I have a server running Exchange 2003 SP2 that contains multiple mailbox stores. I would like to delete 2 of the stores. H,owever when I dismount them, even after a full backup, the log files begin piling up and the backup job fails. As soon as I re-mount the stores and perform a full backup the backup runs fine and the old log files are removed. I would like to know what Microsoft's recommendation is for removing stores from Exchange 2003 servers. I have searched for articles related to this issue, but can only find information pertaining to Exchange 2007. Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690792

    - OWA access Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me. I have exchange 2007 in our organisation and for some reason OWA has stopped working with both firefox and IE. People can get to the front page of OWA where they input their domain\username and password, but when they click on Log on Firefox gives the message :- "The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies". On IE, it doesnt give any message, it just stalls and the progress bar just increases. I have checked the SSL settings, cookies, Exchange server and everything seems to be setup right via IIS and the management console. I would be very thankful if someone can help me with this problem.

    - Message Size Restriction per Mailbox We are using Exchange 2007. I have set a limit of 10MB at transport level (i.e., with command "Set-TransportConfig -MaxSendSize 10MB" and "Set-TransportConfig -MaxReceiveSize 10MB"). What will happen if I try to send a file of >10MB? Will this restrict all the users from sending mails of >10MB?

    - Is it safe to install Exchange ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Hello, We have one Exchange 2000 SP3 server on Windows 2000 (the first Exchange server which we ever installed) and two Exchange 2003 SP2 servers on Windows 2003 R2 SP2. For legacy reasons, Exchange is still in mixed-mode. None of the servers are configured as front-end servers. Some users are using EAS and Windows Mobile 6.0 to sync their mailboxes on the two E2K3 servers and we'd like to install the Exchange ActiveSync Mobile Administration Web Tool for security reasons. Does anyone know please if the presence of the Exchange 2000 server or the fact that Exchange is in mixed-mode will cause problems? We're uncertain because the MS download page for the tool mentions that it's only for E2K3 or E2K7 environments. Also, where should the tool be installed, on both E2K3 servers or just one? Can the tool on one E2K3 server see the EAS users on another E2K3 server? Thanks, - Alan. Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690765

    - Exchange 2007 defrag with continuous local replication Hi, We have Exchange 2007 with 2 storage groups and LCR up and running. Our server is running low on disk space and I need to defrag one of the databases to free up space on the server. How can I do this with local continuous replication (LCR) set on the server. The database is on say drive G: and the copy on say drive H:. The database is 25Gb and there is about 47 Gb free on the server. Every article I can find says do the defrag the same as exchange 2003 or 2000. I know how to do that but what about the replication. When I dismount the mailbox to do the defrag what happens to the copy. All help greatly appreciated. -- Kath Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690761

    - EXCH2007 SP1 - piping Set-CASMailbox -OWAChangePasswordEnabled:$false question Good evening, Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 (64-bit) I half-way expected this situation to present itself as I read a post in another forum where the Admin "complained" about this happening. Anyway, I wanted to disabled the ability of certain members from changing their password via OWA. It works out nicely that there is a distribution group that holds all the users for whom I wanted to implement this. So, I open up the Exchange "command prompt" and enter the following: Get-DistributionGroupMember "nameofgroup" | Set-CASMailbox -OWAChangePasswordEnabled:$false Well, not only is "OWAChangePasswordEnabled" set to false, all of the OWA-related items are set to false. How do I correct this? And, why did this happen? Like I said, I have read one post where this happened but read several other posts where this worked. Thanks, Cary Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690750

    - issues recovering exchange 2003 We're testing a DR scenario and can't seem to get the backups to work. Scenario and steps: 1. virtual server is a domain controller in existing domain - it doesnt have exchange yet. 2. taking it out of the network, seizing fsmo roles, remove other dc's, and stop replication to be safe inb case I mess up and accidentally put it back on network : ) 3. install exchange (didnt use /DisasterRecovery option - figured db was getting overwritten anyways and I said its another server in the domain - was that mistake #1 there?) 4. trying to restore exchange backups via ntbackup. the location of the dbs on the old server were on a D partition - the new system only has root C 5. it fails with "the specified computer is not a microsoft exchange server or its microsoft exchange services are not started" - it is an exchange server obviously The server is named differently than the original (same exchange 2003 patches though).... is this possible? The restore wizard in ntbackup just constantly says "the specified computer is not a microsoft exchange server or its microsoft exchange services are not started" If I try to make the DC the same name as the old computer after exchange was installed, its just a mess... since the original exchange server has its computer sid in the domain. I could remove it and try to rename my new system.. but if exchange is already installed its a mess... and then the sid doesn't match anyways. so.... is it possible to restore to a different machine that doesnt have the same drive letter as the original backup? I know.. I can check existing document on exchange 2003 recovery but it doesnt fit this exact scenario.. IE domain information already exists on this virtual sever, no system state restore to be done.. since its active on domain its going to have a different machine name than the original mail sever. the idea is in case of a disaster take backup of virtual server with current domain info on it and restore exchange to it and we'd be good to go. well.. the idea anyways Thanks, Adam Tag: Scripting the creation of a database...

    - Bulk mail enable contact imported into Exchange 2003 from domino A customer is using an import file to get users from Domino into Exchange 2003/AD 2003 as contacts. But are not mail enabled. Any idea how to change this behavior and how can they bulk mail enable the contacts? Created by domino dump with specific fields to a csv file. Import CSVDE import. In Exchange 2007 the import worked with a field called show in address book populated. The same field did not work in the Exchange 2003. If a single user is right clicked and the Exchange tasks are selected there is an option Establish Email address. This works great for a single contact at a time, the problem is there are a few thousand. But if we select more than one user at a time the Establish Email address is not an option. How can I bulk Establish Email address for imported contacts? I asked the customer to download ADMODIFY.net and see Establish Email Address is an option there.

    - OAB Event ID 9360 Hello, We currently are running Exchange 2003 SP2 in a Windows Clustered environment. We are seeing the following error below on a daily basis in our Event Logs. Is there a way to correct this error so that the Address List changes update without issues? Is this a common type of error in Exchange? EventID: 0xC0002490 (9360) - OALGen encountered an error while generating the changes.oab file for version 2 and 3 differential downloads of address list '\Global Address List'. The offline address list has not been updated so clients will not be able to download the current set of changes. Check other logged events to find the cause of this error. If the cause of the problem was intentional or cannot be resolved, OALGen can be forced to post a full offline address list by creating the DWORD registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters\OAL post full if diff fails' and setting it to 1 on this server. When OALGen next generates the offline address list, clients will perform a full OAB download. After that time, the registry key should be removed to prevent further full downloads. - Default Offline Address List Thanks, Dean Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690730

    - Exchange 2007 DAS Dell Storage enclosure Hello all I am trying to make a case for when we transition to EX 2007 to use DAS instead of using iscsi connected to a netapp storage device. I have no control over the current storatge setup, basically its a black box to, and whenever a user compalins that Outlook freezes or request data, i have to ask the storage guy to run performance counters againts the LUNs that contain the DB and trans logs, its a realy pain the butt, and this is why i would like to take the SAN and iscis out of the picture, and instead use a DAS with a DELL storage enclosure, when i mentioned this to the storage guy he said he always has issues with Dell Storage enclosures. I cant imagine iscis would be faster then DAS anyway with DAS i wouldnt have to go over an iscis switch to talk to the SAN, basically the SAN guys can can move data like SQL DB to the same aggregate thats being used by the exchange servers, and i wouldnt evan know about it until users started complaining, so what i am looking for is can i get the same or better performance with DAS in Exchange 2007 compared to Exchange 2007 connected to the SAN via iscsi? and what about redundancy?

Failed to copy messages to the destination mailbox store with error: MAPI or an unspecified service provider. ID no: 00000000-0000-00000000" Searching this group and the 'Net led me to believe that SP 1 changed permissions on the mailboxes; therefore, I've tried running the command "Get-MailboxDatabase -identity "BANG\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database" | Add-ADPermission -user "Vert\ExMerge" -ExtendedRights Receive-As, Send-As" [Certain stuff changed, of course] This hasn't helped. I could ask why the export-mailbox no longer works with SP1, but I don't really care. I've come to expect Microsoft to break something when they fix something else. I care only about this: How do I make it work?

    - Exchange 2003 and Messages Stuck in Queue Hello, Some messages are stuck in the queue on our front end server and are stuck in retry mode. OS Windows 2003 SP 2 running Exchange 2003 Mcafee AV The queue messages seem to give different reasons for this outbound email that is stuck in retry. It is important to note this issue does not apply to all messages sent outbound. 80% of the messages are part of a "mass mailing" to external customers. The other 20% represents a nice sized number of messages that eventually will expire as well. 1. The connection was dropped due to an SMTP protocol event sink 2. Unable to bind to the destination server in DNS 3. The connection was dropped by the remote host Troubleshooting thus far has included disabling AV, transport sinks, turning on transport logs, and smtp logging. I have an open case with microsoft that to date has not produced any results as the issue remains. We have proved that it is not DNS, the antivirus software, or an issue with the transport sinks.

    - Problem with Public Folder with multiple e-mail addresses Hope that someone can help. I have a public folder (called Customer Support for example) and it has 7 e-mail addresses assigned to it. If I send an e-mail into the the folder using any of the addresses assigned to it and then open the public folder in Outlook, it will list any e-mail in the folder as sent to Customer Support (the name of the folder) rather than showing the actual address it was sent to. Is there any way to set the publich folder so that any e-mail in it actually which of the addresses they were sent to rather then state the name of the folder? Hope this makes sense, Cheers, D Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690642

    - problem adding 2nd domain name to Exchange I have Exchange 2003 and currently we have one domain name for email @mydomain.co.uk I am adding @mydomain.com to the system and went into the default policy and added the new domain and ran the policy. Checked it next day and most accounts now had the new domain added but some didn't. I went through manually adding the 2nd address via AD Users & Computers until I reached one mailbox giving me problems. The mailbox is marketing@mydomain.co.uk when I checked it the address marketing2@mydomain.com had been added. When I try to edit that to marketing@mydomain.com I get an error message: This e-mail address already exists in thise organization ID No: c10312e7 Now this doesn't make sense as we have never had any @mydomain.com email addresses here before. I ran ldp.exe and did a search and failed to find any matches to marketing@mydomain.com (but do find one for marketing@mydomain.co.uk) I have checked every account/list etc in ADUC and cannot see this address anywhere. I deleted the user marketing and purged the mailbox. I re-created it and the same problem occurred. So, can anyone suggest how I might track down where AD thinks that this address is?

    - Move cluster name and IP to Exchange group on 2007 CCR cluster I have a new Windows 2007 setup with two mailbox servers (Windows 2003 R2 x64) in a CCR/Minority node set cluster with file share witness and I have a question about the cluster group. The servers only have a few users on it at this time, but we're getting ready to start migrating our existing users from our 2003 system. The mailbox cluster is called EXMBC1. The two nodes are EXMBC1a and EXMBC1b (these are not the real names). The cluster admin shows two groups, the "EXMBC1" group with all the Exchange stuff in it, and the "Cluster Group" with the name and IP of the management name (EXMBC1M), and the MNS witness resource. When we do a manual failover of the Exchange group (from the Exchanage console and/or management shell), the Exchange group switches to the other node, but the cluster management IP and name stay on the original server (unless I move it from the Cluster Admin) What I'm trying to find out is if I can put the "cluster group" resources in the Exchange mailbox cluster group so that if I do a manual failover of the Exchange group, the "cluster group" fails over too. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Mike O. Tag: Scripting the creation of a database... Tag: 690619

    - Kerberos error "KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED" in Exchange 2007 CCR mailbox servers I have a new Windows 2007 setup with two mailbox servers with Windows 2003 R2 x64 in a CCR/Minority node set cluster with file share witness . It's only got a few users on it at this time, but we're getting ready to start migrating our existing users from our 2003 system. The mailbox cluster is called EXMBC1. The two nodes are EXMBC1a and EXMBC1b. Our internal domain is "company.local" (these are not the real names). It seems be working OK, the cluster fails over within 30 seconds, the users are getting the email, but I've noticed about once a day, usually overnight, the system event log shows a Kerberos error, ID# 4 in each mailbox server: ************************* The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/exmbc1b.company.local. The target name used was exmbc1. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (company.local), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator" ********************************** The cluster was installed using the normal setup, the hardware is new and nothing very unusual. I've done some searching, but not found too much that seems to apply. I've seen some articles that address this error, but they seem to be related to an issue where the info store won't start after a failover; ours seems to start OK. Like I said, it doesn't seem to be causing any major problems, but I'd like to get it taken care of. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Mike O. Tag: Scripting the creation of a database...

    - Exchange 2000 with 2003R2 domain? I am in the process of upgrading a 2000 exchange server to 2007. I am trying to get the domain funtional level raised, and in the process have hit a snag. I added 2 new DC's (2003R2), ran the inetorg fix, ran forestprep / domainprep, promoted the 2 DC's to DC's+ GC, moved all the FSMO roles. Demoted 2 of other 2000 DC's My big problem is that my Exchange 2000 server is also a DC+GC. I think I can remove it as a GC ok, and I know it's bad news to demote it, but I cannot raise the functional level until I do something. I took a look at the directory access tab for the Exch 2000 server, and it only lists itself as a DC, GC, and the one other thing it looks for, it doesn't appear to see any other servers, so I am worried about removing the GC role from it. Is there a way to "force" it to see other servers? I checked the reciepient update services, and they point to one of the new DC's. Any help or pointers will be appreciated!

    - Anti-Spam - Exchange 2007 We are still getting some messages that should be delivered to the Junk email folder according to our SCL rating that are clearly staying in the INBOX. We have the Microsoft Anti-Spam enabled along with Trendmicro Scanmail. We had a Microsoft PSS opened now for one month and still no progress. How does one track a message and determine which filter tagged what and where it should show up? Any help would be appreciated . We have all the latest patches for all applications involved.

    - clicking send in OWA puts the message in drafts... OWA runs perfectly on the server. The server is SBS 2003 Premium SP2. Outside of the LAN, OWA runs fine except for two things. FIRST: You can't open the contacts. SECOND: When you click on send the window reloads to the Exchange main page and the message is put in the Drafts folder. What do I need to do that will fix it.

Here is a script that I found in my book. I've never ran it though.

New-MailboxDatabase -StorageGroup: 'Second Storage Group' -Name:
'Second Mailbox Database' -EdbFilePath: 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft
\Exchange Server\Mailbox\Second Storage Group\Second Mailbox
Database0.edb' -HasLocalCopy:$True -CopyEdbFilePath:'C:\Program Files
\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\Local Copies\Second Storage Group
\Second Mailbox Database0.edb'
