    - How to allow a common login for mailboxes on 2 servers in 1 Admin Group Hello, I have 2 Exchange Servers (Exch 2k3 Std on Win2k Srv & Exch 2k3 Enter on Win 2k3 Enter) and want to be able to move mailboxes from the one server (Exch 2k3 Std) to the Exch 2k3 Enter server. When I move a mailbox, that user can no longer login via the first server. Is it possible to allow logins via one server and maintain the mailboxes on either server. If so, how? Small Srv (Exch 2k3 Std) - accept client requests via OWA and Outlook - contain some mailboxes Large Srv (Exch 2k3 Enterprise) - contain bulk of mailboxes Thanks, -Ben Tag: Configuring a "catch-all" mailbox for Exchange Tag: 118350

    - upgrading exchange 2000 to 2003 Hello, I'm planning on upgrading our Exchange 2000 server to 2003 and wanted to get some advice on my plan. First, I'll be upgrading AD and the DCs to 2003. My plan for Exchange is to 1) Install a Exchange 2003 server on one of our W2K3 servers in the same admin group of the Exchange 2000 box. 2) Move mailboxes to new Exchange 2003 box. 3) Rebuild original Exchange box to W2K3 and Exchange 2003 4) Move mailboxes back to original server 5) Remove secondary Exchange box. Sound like a workable plan? Any caveats I should be aware of? Seems deceptively simple which always worries me. Thanks for the help.

    - Migration from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 I am running Exchange 5.5 SP4 on Windows 2000 Server SP4 which I am trying to migrate the data to a server running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. When trying to use ADC to migrate the data, the information for the Windows Server is fine and passes but for the Exchange server, I get an error "Server exch1:389 is not an Exchange 5.5 Server of an SRS Service". However, the server name is correct and resolves via DNS. I checked LDAP using netdiag and all is well. The Exchange 5.5 version is standard while the Exchange 2003 version is Enterprise.

    - Another Relay Question... My server DOES NOT relay, but I have this problem... The best way I can explain this is...the Exchange server seems to mislead spammers into thinking my server is an open relay, allows them to connect and upload the spam messages but never deliver to the outside. It still attempts to deliver the messages, queues up clogging my system...and its getting worse each day! The other problem is it fills up my BadMail folder with thousands and thousands of BDR, BAD files - last weekend I had over 50,000 files in this BadMail folder. Im getting UNDELIVERABLE messages (my account is setup to receive all UNDELIVERABLES from the server) at a rate of 2 or more a minute! What can be done? There has to be a way to shut down my servers ability to ACCEPT message from spammers even though it doesn't forward them.

    - Exchange migration Hi Our company is planning to migrate to windows 20003 and exchange 2003 from our existing Nt4.0 and exchange 5.5.We are also replacing all old with new compaq dl 530.There is almost 250 users and same mail boxs for all users. When we are migrating we don't want to loose any mail, file permission. Our existing network is like one PDC called company_nt and BDC is for mail server(exch01) and there are two more bdcs.One of my new server I install NT 4.0 and made it as a BDC then isolate from network upgrade to promote to PDC,then upgrade it to first DC in the forest.Now usres can login to new 2003 server with old user name and password.I made a second DC and a member server on new server we want member server is a mail server. When am trying to connect to Exchange 5.5 using ADC I am getting error that exchange name ,port or permissin problem osccur while trying to connect to 5.5 (deffrent organisation name ). I create a two way trust between the both server,still I am getting the problem. Please advise me is any other way I can do my migration with least configuration changes .

    - AD Domain Rename with ADC running. oops. Seems someone here decided to rename the 2003 AD domain when we had an Exchange 2003 server running ADC to an Exchange 5.5 server. (All users are still on 5.5 except a few test ones) The domain name change worked until the exchange part (XDR-Fixup) where it said you cannot have a SRS (Site Replication Service) running. :/ So now everything is pretty messed up. They re-ran rendom and put everything back to the original domain. (back to .local) The ADC was just a test connection and everyone will be staying on Exchange 5.5 for awhile longer. Is it possible to remove the ADC (I've seen KB822450 article) and then run rendom to fix the domain name. Then later re-run the ADC with the same exchange 5.5 email server. Then eventually transfer over the users to the Exchange 2003 email server. I've briefly scanned 822450 and it appears it permanently removes 5.5 from the domain. Not sure if you can reattach later. Thanks for any help and options. Robert Tag: Configuring a "catch-all" mailbox for Exchange Tag: 118328

    - Exchange 2003 Rename Hello, Is there a way to rename my Exchange servers without rebuilding them from scratch? I have one BE and 2 FE servers. I used netdom and renamed the machines fine, but then the old names still show up in the system manager. Once I rename, can I somehow add the new machine names to the org?

    - Exchange 2003 Server migration Hello, Could someone please give me some directions here: I have installed two new Servers in a Windows 2000 Domain with AD, they are on the same physical network with Windows NT 4.0 domain. I am installing Exchange Server 2003 in the Windows 2000 Domain, it will be a fresh install, not an upgrade (new organization, although I would like to keep the same organization name as my Exchange 5.5 Server in my Windows NT domain). As just mention, I have a Exchange 5.5 up and running in my Windows NT domain with about 75-100 mailboxes. What I would like to do is migrate all the users mailboxes and their message folders over to the new Exchange 2003 Server from the existing Exchange 5.5 Server. What is the best method of doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks William Tag: Configuring a "catch-all" mailbox for Exchange Tag: 118314

    - M drive plus Hello, We are starting to plan our move to Exchange 2003 and do not expect any issues since we are upgrading all equipment. The one question is we have had issues with our Ex2k box in that when it was built the 'domain' under the M drive was 'company.com' yet our domain is companydom.com. This has caused quite a few problems with some 3rd party apps and trying to avoid in the move to Ex2k3. What was done wrong and how can I/we avoid this.

    - Added 2nd server to Site, some smtp problems. Ok i installed a second Exchange 2003 SP1 server. The install went without a hitch. I then moved my mailbox from the old server to the new, again no problems. Logged into my mailbox no problem and verified it was reading it on the new server. Now problems -- I can send internal and external email just fine. I can not receive mail at all, no rejection notices seem to be sent to the senders either ? I.e. if i have my coworker send me an email it sends with no rejection but i never get it, if i send mail in externally i never get it and again no rejection email. Why is the old server (lets call it exch1) not delivering my mail to (exch2) it obviously knows where I am ? Second problem is public folders, i went into public folders and added exch2 as a replica of every folder. Even after an hour however in my outlook i do not see any public folders ? Suggestions ?

    - Optimizing Memory Usage in Exchange Server 2003 Please can someone advise me what to do in the following situation: I recently upraded my Exchange 2003 server to 4GB RAM and saw the event 9665 in the event viewer. It refers to KB815372 which details how to optimize memory usage in Exchange. After reading the article; I am considering putting the /3GB switch in the boot.ini; however there are some mitigating factors in my environment. My Exchange server is actually the DC and it has SQL2000 installed on it. (I know, I know - terrible. Budget constraints). I know that SQL and Exchange are both applications that are memory hogs/lovers; so can I use the methods described in KB815372? Tag: Configuring a "catch-all" mailbox for Exchange Tag: 118298

    - What is 'free/busy'? What is public free/busy data? How can I create it? or locate it? Recently I transferred Exchange 2000 on a Win 2000 Server to Exchange 2003 on a new 2003 Server. When all was OK, I switched off the server, worked well then removed it following instruction found in MS site. After a week, Outlook 2000 is often giving on some PCs: "Unable to update public free/busy data. The contents of this public folder are currently unavailable. Either the Microsoft Exchange Server computer servicing this public folder is down or the public folder has not been replicated to this site." I check MS Q284200 but settings are as expected. I ran Outlook 2000 with: /cleanfreebusy and got this message "unable to clean your free/busy information on the server" All looks quite well. Any solution?

    - Exchange 2000 Migration question.Trying to add a new 2k server to Exchange 2000 Migration question. Trying to add a new 2k server to Site 2 after turning off 5.5 server My original 5.5 Config was 1 x 5.5 Org (O1) with 2 Sites (S1) and (S2) both with Exchange 5.5 servers. I added Exchange 2K servers to each site and Migrated the users/Public folders fine. In Site 2 I followed the instructions to remove a 5.5 server moving Roles etc. I have turned the server off for a few weeks all works fine. The two steps I have not done is to delete the server Object from site 2, and remove the SRS from the Exchange 2K in S2, which I think I am not meant to do until I remove all 5.5 server from the Org and want to got native. When I try to add another 2K server to Site 2 it asks for a 5.5 server to get information about joining the Site (which I have turned off). If I delete the object will that solve the issue? The reason I have not delete the old 5.5 object was I wanted to make sure I had covered everything before I do this. I have left the ADC running in Site2 maybe i need to stop it ?

What would be the better method of migration for the public folders...using the pfmigrate utility to do all at once, or setting up an actual replication partnership between both servers? Both seem to accomplish the same thing. Thanks, Alex Tag: Configuring a "catch-all" mailbox for Exchange Tag: 118272

    - Use our ISP as mail provider I need to setup Exchange 2003 to send mail from our ISP (mail.Bellsouth.net). BellSouth requires authentication to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? If I do set this up, will a internal Exchange users sending to an internal Exchange user also have to go through the ISP and then back in? Just FYI We are currently using Novell GroupWise and planning to change to Exchange. Some blacklisting organizations have included our IP address as being blacklisted due to this range being part of BellSouth dial up /dynamic IP addresses(even though we have a DLS static IP address) The best way I have come up with to fix this is to send our mail through our ISPs mail servers (mail.Bellsouth.net) This does produce some big problems with GroupWise that I hope will not be a problem with Exchange.

    - ADC I am migrating from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2K3. The Migration path that I have chosen is to "Join an Existing Organization" for coexistence purposes. I have completed most of the Exchange 2K3 Deployment Tools task. At this time I have not deployed ADC. Does anyone know the answers to the following questions? 1. Is it mandatory to populate AD with the NT 4.0 user accounts before synchronizing the NT 4.0 Security database with the W2K3 AD? 2. Can I just Install ADC and bring the NT 4.0 user accounts over afterwards? If so how will this impact my migration? 3. Does installing ADC modify my Exchange 5.5 Schema? --Thanks in advance for your help Tag: Configuring a "catch-all" mailbox for Exchange Tag: 118249

    - exchange 2003 Relay Config I need to allow my new Exchange 2003 server to relay email from my web-server which in inside the same domain and inside the firewall. In 2000 and 5.5 I was able to configure authentication via 'access' from the Default SMTP Virtual Server Properites panel, but I can't seem to find this GUI anywhere.

    - 2003 Front End /w 2000 Back End Configuration We currently have a exchange 2003 front end server with a exchange 2000 back end cluster. When users attempt to access our front end OWA, they receive the 2003 form based authentication page, but as soon as they enter their credentials, they receive the old exchange 2000 OWA interface. Also, that user gets logged on the IIS log on our back end server. Is this normal behavior? Why is the backend processing all the requests, isn't that the job of a front end server? Or does the front end server just proxy requests and not alleviate load. thx -- Steve Tag: Configuring a "catch-all" mailbox for Exchange Tag: 118244

My pop3 e-mail account requires authentication for outgoing e-mails, but I cannot see anywhere to setup exchange to authenticate the link to my pop3 e-mail provider. Has anybody else had this problem, and does anybody know a work around to this? By the way, we can receive e-mails no problem.

    - Upgrading My Situation: I have been asked to upgrade our Exchange 5.5 server to 2003, now the problem is we want to utilize the same server that is currently being used (HP Proliant), currently the setup is windows 2000 server with Exchange 5.5 SP4. Now the problem is that downtime has to be kept to a minimum since I work in a banking environment and things have to be up and running 24/7. My battle plan thus far is 1. Backup Server 2. Setup temp machine with win2003 running Exch 2003 also to migrate from 5.5 to that machine. 3. Fresh installation of server 2003 on HP Proliant server 4. Install exchange 2003 on that server and let it get all the data from the temp exchange 2003 machine I placed. 5. Once data has been transferred I proceed to take down the temp machine and voila... I should be done. Let me know what you guys think of this procedure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Carlos Tag: Configuring a "catch-all" mailbox for Exchange Tag: 118240

Hi All,

does anyone know if it is possible to setup a catch-all
mailbox or public folder for exchange so that all unknown
e-mail addresses delivered to the mailbox/folder?

I can't see this option anywhere. It would be very useful.

Thanks in advance.

Regard,
