Exchange server 5.5 is gone
Hi,
We have mixed-mode AD and Exchange 2003 server and 5.5 server.
All the mailboxes and information store has been moved to 2003 server during
migration.
The old 5.5 (NT) server relayed only mail and OWA. This server was the first
exchange server.
Now the NT server crashed down, the system disc went broke.
Can I simply install new server with W2003 and MsExchange2003 FE and make it
relay and OWA server? Or is there any necessary info/data on that broken
server? I dont want this NT/5.5 anymore (even I may lose public folders)...
There is possibility to restore but if I can make new installation right
away, it would be nice.

IMAP Connector?
Does Exchange 2003 server have a method to connect to a remote IMAP mail
server similar to how the Exchange POP connector works?
If not, is there a known methog to connect an Exchange 2003 Server to an
IMAP Mail server?
Thank you in advance.

Duplicate SMTP alias/proxy addresses for new SMTP Domain.
I have a situation where I have multiple SMTP addresses for every user using
different formats. I was wondering if there was a to copy all mail addresses
from old smtp domain @oldcompany.com and just edit the domain @newcompany.
For example if there is a guy bill young and he has "byoung@oldcompany.com"
and "billy@oldcompany.com" and "b_young@oldcompany.com"
How can I run a scan and add all the above addresses but with the new
Domain. I have used ADModify but you have to tell it what addresses you want.
There are basically some weird addresses here and I dont want ot have to look
at every users mail settings to add the SMTP mailbox.

Mail to many sites 'delayed', then 'returned'
Exchange 2003 sp1 seems to not send to many sites, retrying over and over
over a 2 day period. The sites are not down, Exchange just refuses to
deliver mail to them.
One is hotmail.com, but many others are colleges, etc. I can go into the

Exchange 2003 and Exchange 5.5 SMTP
Hello! I recently upgraded my Exchange 5.5 to 2003 by joining existing site
of the 5.5. Since then I moved all my mailboxes to 2003. My 5.5 is still
in place and all external mail is still being routed to 5.5. Here is what i
think is a problem that I noticed recently. When I send out mail to
multiple external recipients, and then I go to the message tracking center
in 2003, I can see that the email is being transfered from 2003 SMTP to 5.5
MTA for delivery. Why does this happen? Shouldn't the 2003 SMPT make the
delivery itself? Please advise.

connector: everything is virtual, no statut bar,hd is spinning like crazy,
but nothing happen to my users list...

My big problem is I am unable proceded to install exchange 2k3, I got an

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!

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?

remote desktop connectivity, and I can even go to the Group policy

this will be for all users ( local Computer policy)

Multiple Storage Groups Re Post
I am posting this again to see if anyone else has any ideas??
Could you elaborate a little? I have let the servers sit for over a day
since I moved the mailbox and still that user does not show in the GAL
anymore and I still cannot setup an Outlook profile for the moved user? Is
there anything I can look into to help the situation? I have 2 DC's in my
AD environment. Unforetunately my Exchange server is one of them. This
scenario was granfathered into me...

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: RPC Proxy / One Server 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?

Internal email only
How do i setup an exchange user to only send or receive internally rather
than to external email addresses? Tag: RPC Proxy / One Server Tag: 132209
ISA is not listening to port 443
I am setting OWA with the internal certificate. I have also set up my ISA to
listen to to the external IP address. I have installed certificate on both
ISA and Exchange 2003 server and I have published the Web publisher on ISA.
Accessing internally using <https://www.myserver.com/exchange> is OK but from
Internet it says "Page cannot be displayed" and DNS error. My ISA is a member
server and is a part of another domain separated from the domain where the
Exchange 2003 server. Do I need to intall the certificate on the DC where ISA
resides?. I have found out that my ISA does not listen to port 443 and 80 and
8080 (from NETSTAT) command. Could you please assist?

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!

RPC-HTTP Tab greyed out
Greetings,
Everyone, I have an Exhcange 2003 Server, which I am trying to set up RPC
over HTTP, on.. I have the general idea, sine I have set it up successfully
at three other sites.. Here is the setup:
SSL provided by Verisign
Since Exchange 2003 SP1, not a GC or DC..
Here is what I have done.
Enabled RPC-HTTP
Made Registry Edit to include te right ports on both the Exchange Server and
the GC ..
On the client side configured outlook correctly.. (agin I have it working in
several places) --
Run Outlook /rpcdiag --seems like I am always trying to connet via TCP/IP
Something Strange. ....
Recently I noticed, that when I click on the RPC-HTTP tab in system manager,
it is greyed out and spits out an error indicating it can not find the
expected file..
ANy suggestions? Tag: RPC Proxy / One Server Tag: 132203
