    - Exchange Migration A collegue of mine was asked to tackle a migration from NT to 2000 AD. He setup exchange 2000 without first doing any user migration. He only set up exchange 2000. I'm having all sorts of replication problems with passwords and I'm not sure how we are going to migrate users over to the new domain. He is still in mixed mode too. My question is a)is this going to be a problem with the user migration and are we actually going to have to set up new permissions for them? b)Is this the correct way to do this?

    - OWA Issues Hi All I hope someone can help me with this issue. I have Exchange 2003 running on a Windows 2003 server. I have a front end back end setup in my organisation. SSL has been configured. I can access OWA internally however I am unable to from outside the network. No errors are being logged in the Event viewer. Users simply get a Page cannot be displayed from outside the network when they try to access OWA. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    - Installing second Exch2003 server in forest in new domain. Hi, I am having a problem installing my second exch 2003 server. We have a single forest and one domain which works fine with exchange. I needed to add a new domain to the forest which also requires me to add a second exchange 2003 server to support the new domains mail. I can't seem to get the installation program to run. What option do I pick, " first server" or "additional server". It is the first server in the new domain but it is the second server in the forest. I did run domain prep but it still can not assign the install task due to a possible permission problem. I had no problem installing the first exch 2003 server in the first domain. I want to 2 servers to be in the same site so the global address book can see users in both domains. Thank You, Steven Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125118

    - Exchange Permission Problems on Moved Mailboxes We have added a Windows 2003 Exchange 2003 domain controller server to a former NT Exchange 5.5 PDC domain. The Windows 2003 server is now the PDC and the NT Exchange 5.5 server is not a domain controller. We have moved 6 mailboxes over to Exchange 2003 server and the remaining are still on Exchange 5.5. The mailboxes that have moved over to 2003 can be accessed by their corresponding users. However the domain administrator can no longer access them. In the permissions on the mailboxes the domain administrator has inherited rights for full access listed but also has "Denied" full access listed and is greyed out. Exchange users who still have their mailboxes residing on the Exchange 5.5 server can access the mailboxes on the Exchange 2003 server. Other users who have already had their Exchange mailboxes moved over to the 2003 server cannot access other mailboxes moved over to 2003 server. However users who still have their Exchange mailboxes over on the Exchange 5.5 server can access the mailboxes moved over to the Exchange 2003 server. The most important thing is to have the 2003 administrator access these mailboxes once they have moved over to Exchange 2003 and then also to allow users to be able to access each others mailboxes once they have been moved over to 2003.

    - Address lists two Exchange servers Hi All, Is it possible for two Exchange 5.5 servers to share address lists.views if they have a different organization? What I have is two companies merging, each with an exchange server. They would like all users from both companies to see the same address lists. Both have NT 4.0 domains. If this is not possible, can you change the organization of one Exchange server to match the other? My guess is this world require a reinstall. Thanks Bob Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125112

    - Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 on New Server Hello, I'm looking for direction on how to move data from a Win2k server running Exchange 5.5 to a new Win2003 server running Exchange 2003. We currently have only the single server and plan on replacing it with the new server. I have seen a lot of complicated ways to do this but was also wondering if before I switch to the new server, I could do an "export" of each user's mail to their desktop. Remove the old server and install the new server with Exchange 2003. Manually add each user to Exchange 2003 then do an "import" of their data previously saved to their desktop to Exchange 2003. I think there would be a max of 60-70 users. Thanks in advance for your help! Carl Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125108

    - How to repair OWA 2003 Hi there! I've got a problem it getting OWA up and running on my frontend-servers. I think the problem is a combination of the following: 1.) I installed the w2k03-Servers via Altiris and after that renamed the servers. As a result the "IWAM_" and "IUSR_" Accounts that are used by IIS had the wrong name. 2.) I installed Exchange2003 without checking the IIS and the User-Account first (my fault). 3.) I deinstalled IIS and reinstalled IIS. After searching through some Newsgroups and looked at some other servers I managed to get the OWA-Virtual-Dirs up and running again. Something is still wrong, because I get an 404-Error when i access http://servername/exchange In the IIS-Logfile there is a 401.2-Error-Code mentioned each time i would like to access the site. Could anybody help me I can't reinstall those frontend-Servers!!! Sincerely, Philipp Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125096

    - Throttling Exchange 2003 bandwidth use for sending outbound emails We have a MS Exchange 2003 Enterprise server and we use a DSL for our internet connection. Our DSL speed is 1.5 Mbps down and 384 kbps up. We have been having problems with our internet connection being down when someone from our company sends large emails. They larger the emails, the longer our internet connection is down. Is there any way to set Exchange 2003 to limit the bandwidth that it uses at certain speed? If not, any other suggestions would really be appreciated. TIA, Alex Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125091

    - Mail-Enabled User Not Appearing on GAL Hello folks I have a strange problem. We are using Win2K3Ent and Exch2k3Ent, with the latest service packs and hotfixes installed (that I know of). I am trying to create a mail-enabled user (internal user on the GAL which actually forwards to an SMTP email address externally). I am under the impression that once created, this user should appear for all clients in the GAL (this seems to be confirmed by 70-284 text). I create the mail-enabled user in Exchange Tasks, establish an email address without incident. But no matter what I try, the user will not appear in the GAL. If I do a query in ExchSysMgr under the GAL, the user is displayed. However, if I run a MAPI client such as Outlook2K3, and view the GAL, the user is not displayed. However, the user *IS* displayed under the All Users folder of the GAL within my OL client. I have manually rebuilt the GAL using RUS, yet the user does not appear. I have even waited 48 hours for the user to update and it hasn't. Has anyone seen this symptom before, or am I missing something at a fundamental level?

    - Co-Exist of Lotus and Exchange server question. Hi all, Currently, We are using lotus domino R6.02 on Win2K server and plan to switch over to Exchang2003 on Win2003 server (another server). During this migration phase, how can i have all mails send to both lotus and ex2003 server for a period of time? So that my users can access either Inotes or OWA in the testing phase. How do i import the user accounts and their current mails in Lotus to ex2003? Please show steps. My goal is to have both lotus and ex2003 up and serve users for like 1 or 2 months instead of switch at once. This is to let my users to get use to OWA. I will have them all use OWA, since they are using Inotes now. Question aside, Does 2003 lotus connector work with Lotus 6.0.3 only? Thanks all, Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125083

    - E2K3-Upgrade hardware/OS I am planning on upgrading my E2K3 server to W2K3 as well as upgrade my hardware. NOTE: I will be making the OS a DC/GC as well. What is the recommended method for doing this? I was thinking since the versoin of Exchange will be the exact same that I SHOULD be able to disabel all AV, do a full backup of the IS (using Veritas), build the new box to the same patch level as a member of the domain and then simply restore the IS. NOTE: I do NOT want to restore the system state as the OS will be different AND it will be a DC. Is it this easy or am I missing something? Thanks, Bob Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125077

    - Exchange 5.5 on Windows 2000 Hi All, I have an Issue here. I recently changed my Exch 5.5 OS from WinNT to WIN 2000. My config on WinNT works perfectly but have been giving issue since my move to W2K. I have 2 NIC's on the server. I tried upgrading to Exchange 2000 but it was goked along the way. I returned to 5.5 and now i have sleepless nights with it. If i diable the external NIC, everything works fine. but once enable, i am in for it. I suspect a config tweek. perhaps internal and external DNS. The error i get is (Extension 'smtp' could not be loaded). any assistance? Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125076

    - Retaining IMC and mailbox server split when migrating from 5.5 to 2003 Hello We're about to upgrade from nt4/exchange 5.5 to Windows and Exchange 2003. Presently, we have a couple of mailbox servers, but we'll probably add another one as part of the migration. Our Exchange 5.5 IMC runs on a system that hosts no mailboxes, but is part of the site. If we want to maintain this separation, do we need to configure one of the Exchange 2003 servers as "front-end" ? Thanks, Loftus. Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125073

    - upgrading servers Hello, i have the following scenario. I came upon this client after other IT people were fired, and this whole setup seems to have been set up very inneficiently from the start. My client is running 2 servers. First server is running windows server 2003 standard, and the second server is running small business server 2000, which includes exchange. Not only are these two systems not completely compatible, but to make matters worse, the domain name of the server does not match the domain name of the company website. (i find it easier for exchange if both match) What i would like to do, is configure the 2003 server to the correct domain, and upgrade the 2000 server to also be a 2003 server without losing the exchange information. Anyone have any recommendations as to how i could go about it, and the best way to migrate the exchange information from the 2000 server to the 2003 server where i plan to install exchange 2003 standard.

    - Exchange 5.5 restore to test server in the lab Hi, we are planing to migrate Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003, currently we use Backup Exec 8.5 Exchange agent to backup the IS, DS and individual mail box. 1)A lab will setup to simulate the migration, just wondering how we could retore the live Exchange 5.5 system and its mail boxes into the test server under the lab environment using a different model (hardware) of the server. 2)In worse case, since there are only lower than 100 mail boxes, we also prepare to export/import each individual mail boxes into the new server if anything goes wrong during the migration. How could we export the Exchange 5.5 mail boxes to *.pst and import them into either the Exchange 5.5 in the lab or the new Exchange 2003? Thanks in advance, fshguo.

Also, do I need to redirect my inbound mail at the firewall to the new server IP since all of those rules seem to point to the 'old' server's IP? Dan Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125049

    - OWA - SSL exchange 2003 I am trying to Setup OWA to use SSL, I am using the following from 2003 Exchange Server deployment guide chapter 8. I have installed certificate server and created and install my own certificate. After doing below steps, I receive message from browser that Cannot find server - The page cannot be dislpayed - check network settigs I think I am missing something but I am not sure. To set up SSL on a server 1. In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, and then expand the Web Sites folder. Right-click the Web site or file that you want to protect with SSL, and then click Properties. 2. Under Web site identification, click Advanced. 3. In the Advanced Web site identification box, under Multiple identities for this Web site, verify that the Web site IP address is assigned to port 443 (the default port for secure communications), and then click OK. Optionally, to configure more SSL ports for this Web site, click Add under Multiple identities of this Web site, and then click OK. 4. On the Directory Security tab, under Secure communications, click Edit. 5. In the Secure Communications box, select the Require secure channel (SSL) check box. If you require 128-bit key encryption, your users must use Web browsers that support 128-bit encryption. For information about upgrading to 128-bit encryption capability, see the Microsoft Product Support Services Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14898). I have allso tried this Enabling SSL for the Default Web Site After you obtain an SSL certificate to use either with your Exchange front-end server on the default Web site or on the site where you host the \RPC, \OMA, \Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync, \Exchange, \Exchweb, and \Public virtual directories, you can enable the default Web site to require SSL. Note The \Exchange, \Exchweb, \Public, \OMA, and \Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directories are installed by default on any Exchange 2003 installation. The \RPC virtual directory for RPC over HTTP communication is installed manually when you configure Exchange to support RPC over HTTP. For information about how to set up Exchange to use RPC over HTTP, see "Configuring RPC over HTTP for Outlook 2003" later in this chapter. To require SSL 1. In Internet Information Services (IIS), select the Default Web site or the Web site where you are hosting your Exchange services, and then click Properties. 2. On the Directory Security tab, in Secure Communications, click Edit. 3. In Secure Communications, click the Require Secure Channel (SSL) check box. After you complete this procedure, all virtual directories on the Exchange front-end server on the default Web site are configured to use SSL. Thanks for any help Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125046

    - Exchange 2003 migration problem - incoming email not routed correc We're attempting to complete a migration of our email system from Exchange 5.5 on NT4 SP6a to Exchange 2003 SP1 on Win2003 hotfixed via windows update. The mailboxes have been migrated to the new server using the Exchange Migration Wizard. We can connect to our new exchange server using Outlook and IMAP and view the contents of mailboxes. Mail can be sent via out using the SMTP server and from within Outlook. Our problem is that incoming emails from the internet are not being distributed into mailboxes and emails sent internally to internal users do not reach their destination. The incoming emails from the internet can be seen in Local Delivery Queue, with a state of 'Retry'. There is no sign of the internally sent emails. It may be that the Exchange 2003 server is receiving messages and attempting to route them through back to our old mail server. One possible course of action we are considering is to remove the old server from the organisation. Should this be attempted as a solution to this problem? Can the old server be added back into the organisation if necessary? Any advice to this serious issue gratefully received. Alfonso Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125025

    - email redirection 5.5 to 2003 Hi... Our current setup includes exchange 5.5 in our domain. We are planning to deploy a new win 2003 domain on new servers and will include exchange 2003. I was able to migrate users to the new 2003 AD. The issue I am facing is that I need to change some email IDs for some users in order to standarize our email IDs. For Example user jamseT@company.com on 5.5 becomes jthompson@company.com on exch 2003 Is there a way to let the exchange 2003 server forward the emails coming to jamseT@company.com to jthompson@company.com, although the exchange 5.5 will be down, but the same previous(on 5.5) public domain is used (form ISP). If I manage to keep each exchange in its domain and conneted to the internet independently, how can i let the exchange server 5.5 to forward jamseT@company.com emails to jthompson@company.com Thanx Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125024

    - OWA Login issue I have a 2003 Exchange Enterprise server with OWA configured and working...Kind of. When I log into it I have to use the user@domainname.com to successfully log in. I would like to be able to log in using the alias or the user without the domain name. I have a feeling that I might need to add anothe SMTP address or something like that. I know this can be done as I have had a SBS that worked this way. But the SBS is automatically configured to do this with out too much intervention from the person doing the installation. Thanks for any insight. Rob Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125021

    - exchang 5.5's distribution list to Exchange 2003 Hi, I have to clarify something about the distribution list in Exchange 5.5, when I migrate the Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 into a Windows 2003 single domain. Would Exchange 5.5's DL automatically becomes Windows 2003 distribution list? Does it have anything to do with the Universal Group? Thanks in advance, fshguo Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125019

    - Exch 5.5 to 2003 ADC question I have a mix of Windows 2003 and NT 4.0 domains each with Exchange 5.5 servers. When I run the ADC tools the log file shows all the mailboxes with NT 4.0 user acounts as "Cannot find match to 'cn=1204, etc." Does this need to be cleaned up before creating any Connection Agreements and if so, how do I clean them up? I am trying to install the Exchange server in a 2003 domain. Do I need to upgrade all the NT 4.0 domains before proceding? Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125018

    - Upgrading Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 alongwith Windows NT Domai Hello Everyone, My case scenario is as follows: I have an NT4 Domain with a PDC that has Exchange 5.5 running on it. The BDC is only used for Domain replication. I also have 3 Windows 2000 servers that are not Domain Controllers but are a part of the NT Domain and are used for Applications and Terminal Services. I would like to upgrade the NT Domain to Windows 2000/2003 alongwith Exchange 5.5. The dilemma I face is that the Exchange is running on the PDC and I am confused about the installation of AD and the order of upgrade at this point. I would appreciate if someone could guide me through the sequential order in which I can accomplish this upgrade without causing serious repercussions. I appreciate your help in this matter. Thank you, Khurram. p.s. please cc reply to kaliforniakhurram@hotmail.com Tag: Exchange questions Tag: 125002

    - Continue - Cant recieve external mail If other people then Lanwench...read below. Well i asked my brother if i can have access to edit these records on my domain and i have the access. I made an A record called mail.janovich.net and pointed it to my public ip. It still didnt work. I was wondering if i need to keep the cname entry for mail.janovich.net. I tried taking that away and then i couldnt ping mail.janovich.net. So i am honestly not sure what i am missing or forgetting to do. So if there is something else that i may have missed and you can think of it please let me know. I have port 25 open on my our router also.

If you > can please continue to help me i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Whoever hosts your public DNS needs to do this. It isn't something you do on your network or server unless you are hosting your own public DNS, which it appears you aren't, and you shouldn't be unless you understand all the requirements and ramifications.

I currently have Exchange 2000 on Windows 2000. I am getting ready to setup
a new box with Exchange 2003 Ent. on Windows Server 2003. Here are my
questions:

1) Does my Exchange server have to be in Native mode before I can upgrade?

2) If I change it to Native mode, will I need to reboot my server?

3) Do I need to reboot the server after I run the Forest and Domain Prep?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Kit
