My big problem is I am unable proceded to install exchange 2k3, I got an error saying that you need to logon with right to add or change exchange site: I am the admin, I am using the same user and pasword and the old exchange server. why? thanks for who has the knowledge to help!

When I try to modify and save changes to a contact, I get the message: "The item could not be saved to this folder. The folder has been deleted or moved, or you do not have permission.

    - Hardware Recommendations with remote users? We are going to put our Exchange box at a DataCenter with a 10Mbps connection to it. We will also have a DC in the same cabinet. All of our users, almost 100 or so, will be connecting with notebook computers through RPC/HTTP. My question has to do with the power needed on the exchange server. If all the connections are through RPC/HTTP will it make much or a difference if we get a high speed server, dual 3.2Ghz, 4GB RAM, RAID 1 - OS, RAID 1 - Logs, RAID 5 - DB? Or would we be fine with the same RAID setup, but using SATA disks instead of SCSI. I just don't see how the server will be that pressured if the only line into it is 3Mbps. Any help or advise is greatly appreciated! -Douglas Tag: Exchange 2003 moving to a new server different operating system Tag: 132297

    - Unattended Installation of Numerous Exchange 2003 Servers Hi all! I work for a company that has about 800+ sites, one exchange server per site. Each site is a standalone domain/forest running WinNT and Exchange 5.5. Right now we are looking into the possible methods for rolling out Win2k3 and Exchange 2k3. The problem is that since each site is it's own domain, according to Microsoft we will have to manually install each exchange server, since they will each be the first/only exchange server in their organization. I was wondering if anyone here had another route that might be available to accomplish this massive rollout? We looked at RenameDomain, but that won't do what we will need to have done. Any help? Please? Thanks in advance, Eric Boltz Tag: Exchange 2003 moving to a new server different operating system Tag: 132273

    - Outlook 2000 hangs after migration form 5.5 to Exchange 2003 PC's with Office 2000 lockup when they start outlook 2000 on their PC after I powered down the original exchange 5.5 server. When I bring the server back up, & with Exchange services stopped, the office 2000 users can use outlook 2000 with no problems. Our vendor cannot find why the clients are still pointing to the old 5.5 server. I checked all local dns, outlook profile, Ip info on the PCs, if we upgrade to Office 2003 & use Outlook 2003 the users can use outlook 2003 with old server down. I have about 50 Office 2000 users & do not have resources to upgrade all of them. Any ideas appreciated. Tag: Exchange 2003 moving to a new server different operating system Tag: 132272

    - Recovering my exchange emails from hdd My 2000 sbs server has become corrupt and I have given up hope of repairing it. What I do have is a ghost(ed) HDD from a few weeks ago which is complete and works fine. My question is, can I copy files from the corrupt install(all data files appear to be ok) to the old ghost HDD to recover all emails on the exchange server. If not I'm screwed. Unless somebody knows a way to rebuild the exchange server with what I have got so my emails are upto date. Perhaps a merge of the two databases.

    - SmartHost Trouble Hi All - My Exchange servers don't use the external smarthost I have entered for SMTP forwarding. I've read numerous posts on this and need some help. I have two Exch. 2003 servers, one in a remote office. There is one Exch. server and one Unix server in home office, the latter of which we want to use for an external smarthost. I have in the default/SMTP Main Mail connector under the First Routing Group, the [IP address] under Propertiies for the Unix/smarthost. I have rebooted/restarted services. I have not configured this smarthost in the SMTP Virtual Server properties for the two Exch. servers, per recommendations posted. Mail does not flow through the Unix/smarthost but rather gets sent directly to Internet. What am I missing? Any help is very appreciated.

    - Restricted user access Hi all, I'm new at this, but I have a client that has a win2003 server running sbs, and wishes to have a remote desktop connection setup so that his customers can access a single program of his choice on the server, without the risk that any customer messes anything up in the windows settings and so on. I can figure out how to setup a user group, how to let the user have remote desktop connectivity, and I can even go to the Group policy editor and edit so that I create a very restrictive access policy, but this will be for all users ( local Computer policy) Can anybody inform me how to do the same for only an specified user group ?

    - Setup exchange with different domains. We recently upgraded all of my clients PC's from a Windows 98 network to a Windows XP network. We ironed out all connectivity issues and now are ready to setup exchange. They have a website hosted by a local company. Their current mail is downloaded on an isolated PC and all their mail addresses end in ex. "@madeinusa.com". Their Windows 2003 server is setup with ex. "tree.local". They use a static IP and I will open up ports 25 and 110 on the router. i want to know how I can get exchange to receive and send out mail from the "@madeinusa.com" registered domain name. I do not want to have to change the local domain name. Tag: Exchange 2003 moving to a new server different operating system Tag: 132253

    - Exchange 5.5 OWA and PDA/Mobile Access Hello all..I am hoping someone can provide me with a couple of suggestions on this issue! Our CEO recently purchased a Palm Treo and wants to access his e-mail from it. We've been using OWA for Exchange 5.5 for remote access to e-mail. The problem is, the Treo does not support Java script, so when he goes to reply or forward, he gets a blank screen! In any event..I was wondering if anyone out there has come across this issue and how they were able to get their users in via a mobile device (does not have to be OWA..could be anything as long as its Exchange 5.5).

    - OWA in DMZ - HowTo I'm planning the deployment of the new messaging system in our company. The Exchange 2003 ENT will reside in LAN. Many users need to access their mailboxes using POP, IMAP and HTTP (OWA). In DMZ we have 2 W2K ADV (NLB). The best solution would be installing OWA on the W2K servers in DMZ and opening 2 ports needed for outside users to download mail via POP or IMAP. But installing OWA on a stand-alone server (which does not have Exch) seems to be impossible. So AFAIK the only solution is: install EXCH 2003 Front-end on both W2K ADV servers in DMZ. The questions are: - Is it confirmed that OWA cannot be installed on a stand-alone server? - If installing front-end servers is the only solution, will I need 3 server licenses (2 for each front-end + 1 for the back-end server)? - Considering this last configuration, may I install STD version of Exch on front-end and ENT on back-end? Thank you for any suggestions. Tag: Exchange 2003 moving to a new server different operating system Tag: 132218

    - Migrating from IMAP to Exchange Hi, We are trying to migrate mailboxes from imap server to exchange. The problem seems to be that our imap server requires ssl authentication. in Microsofts web page there is mentioned that in migration this can be handled with IMAP_SSL parameter in imapusr.csv list. But only problem is that there aren't mentioned what values to add to this parameter. <CLIP> (from page http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/guides/e2k3InterOpMig/c1c07712-236e-47cd-99a6-100eee0d8e76.mspx) You can specify whether to encrypt the transmission of each user's mailbox contents using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). By default, if the IMAP_SSL field is not in the user list file, information is not transmitted using SSL. This is an optional field that can have the following values: </CLIP> Any quesses what should be used for IMAP_SSL values?

    - OWA in a mixed environment Hi everyone, We are currently running two environment, exchange 2000 and 2003, but plan on completely switching to 2003 soon. None of the 2003 servers currently have mailboxes on them as we are just in the in the process of setting everything up. All servers are in the same admin group. The existing OWA server has 2000, and I have a question about how to get new OWA 2003 going without causing the ex2k server any problems. The goal is to gradually move mailboxes to 2003, and of course, we want the mailboxes that are not yet moved to have all the functionality they're used to. For mailboxes that do get moved, how do we get ex2k3's OWA going for them? Will is require a new URL? new external IP? How can I get this to work? Thanks a lot in advance!

    - 0XC103FC93 Error Message When Running EX2003 Setup In going through the Exchange 5.5 to 2003 migration steps I have gotten all the way to the step where Exchange is actually installed. I have setup the ADC (the one from the Exchange CD) and in running the setup when I try the option to Join and Existing 5.5 server I get the following error message: 0xC103FC93 Setup encountered an error while attemtping to bind to the Exchange server "____":0xC103FC93(64659): The Exchange 5.5 directory service could not be contacted. Please ensure that the service is running properly, that it is listening on the correct portm and that you have the appropriate permissions needed to connect to the server. The servers are on two different domains however I have estabilished a trust and have made sure that the administrator from the new 2003 domain is at the three levels in the 5.5 exchange administrator. In another site they reference a 5.5 hotfix that will resolve this issue however no other information was given. Does anyone have any idea where I should go from here. Any help would be great.

    - Replacing exchange 2000 server with new server hardware. Hello I am replacing a current exchange 2000 server running on windows 2000 with new server hardware. The new server is running windows 2000. I have done forest and domain prep, installed exchange 2000 on the new server, configured replicas in the public folders, changed all server roles to the new server, migrated all mailboxes to the new server and everything is working great. All clients have detected the change of servers and mail is flowing. I now want to remove all replicas of the old server from public folders, however when I attempt to remove the last replica of the old server from the configuration public folder I am prompted for a password. The account that is filled in the username is the admin account that I am logged in as. When I put in my password it keeps popping back to that log in dialog and won't accept my password. Since I didn't set up that old server I have no idea what a password might be. After all that my question is can I safely remove the old server with that replication instance still in the configuration folder, or will I cause terrible problems?

    - Removed Exchange from AD on additional DC while connected to main DC (SBS2003 SP1) Long story short... was attempting to migrate a SBS2003 SP1 box using Swing Migration method... seee www.sbsmigration.com... The steps, add a member server to domain and dcpromo it... turn on global catalogue on this DC... seize all of the roles and then SHUT DOWN the SBS box and then go thru and toss out what will be rebuilt as part of the Swing Migration on the added DC... Everything went smooth until I had removed Exchange using AD Sites and Services and AD USers and Computers. However as both boxes were still online and connected this replicated to the SBS box. (Just shortly after deleting Exchange it hit me that I had the DC connected... ) Is there a way to rebuild these or can I uninstall Exchange and reload it? Guess I'm looking for some direction as to the best method to rebuild this information and to get my mail running again. I have full backup. The SBS2003 nox is a standard install at SP1. TIA.

    - Exchange Server ActiveSync HTTP_403 We're running SBS 2003. Exchange is working, both from Outlook and the web using OWA. ActiveSync synchs PPCs to Outlook, but not Exchange Server. The error is 'Your account does not ahve permission to sync with your current settings' and HTTP_403. I've tried several of the suggestions about virtual directory paths and directory security that I've read on various message boards. Under the Default Web Site, what virtual directories with what paths and directory security settings are needed for Server ActiveSync? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a 2003 Exchange server (standard edition) on a Windows 2000 server. I
would like to move this server to a Windows 2003 server with Exchange 2003
Enterprise edition. This will be installed on new hardware.

What is the best way of getting this done. I have found documents on moving
with the same operating system, but not with a different system?

If you have new hardware then simply use the server move methods.
http://www.swinc.com/resources/exchange/faq_db.asp?status=questions&faqID=1001&faqname=Exchange%202000&sectionID=1024&sectionName=Exchange%202000%20Move%20Server%20Method
is a good method.
