    - OWA Administration tool - need help I installed OWA admin tool recently. On the back-end servers, I see that I can actually change settings using the tool. However, on the Front-end OWA server (where I actually need it), all the options are grayed out. Is this by design? If so, any workaround available? Thanks!

    - Migration from W2K EXCH2K3 to W2K3 EXCH2K3 Hey all, I want to use Active Directory Migration Tool 2.0 to copy users from a W2K Exch2K domain into a new W2K3 Exch2K3 domain which is already setup on a new server with different domain, IP, server name and Exchange 2003. I already have correct versions of Exmerge for W2K and W2K3 setup and tested mailbox to PST successfully. My questions are: 1) Does ADMT copy users with their Exchange Server properties (The ones that show in AD Users and Computers, i.e. email address, ect.)? 2) If I am using ADMT2.0 it does copy the passwords over to the new domain with the users does it not? 3) Anything else I am missing or need to know? Thanks!! Tag: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132359

    - Exch 2003 and domain email We currently have a exchange 2003 server setup on our internal domain (lets say domain.local) We had our domain email (domain.com) hosted externally because we did not have a static IP. We do now and want to move the domain email to go directly to the exchange server rather than having to have an exchange account and pop3 account setup in outlook. So to do this I know I have to add the users domain email address to their profile and set it as the default smtp address which I have done. I also have to change the MX records to point to our exchange server. What else do I need to do for this to work and us to be able to send domain email out from exchange? Cause right now i get messages like this sending pop email out from exchange: Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified. Please retry or contact your administrator. <server.domain.local #4.4.7> And when looking at the mail queue it says : remote server did not respond to a connection attempt And I see nothing in that remote servers logs Tag: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132358

    - Ex2003/Ex5.5: Duplicate groups after ADC starts syncing... After going through the various wizards and setting up the CAs, everything seemed to sync normally... I had some security groups set up in AD that I was hoping would be synced up with the distribution lists in Ex5.5 with the same name. What has happened instead is that there were duplicate distribution groups created in AD with a "-1" appended to the end of the Pre-Windows 2000 name. What would be ideal, is to keep the security groups as they are and have them mail-enabled and sync up with the Ex 5.5 groups of the same name. Unfortunately, the security groups in AD have no exchange tabs in their properties, and the new distribution groups from Ex5.5 appear to have a different SID because when I tried deleting the security groups and changing the distribution groups to security groups, the ACLs that used the previous groups were broken. Is there a way to repair this after the fact? Tag: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132356

    - 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. reg.

    - 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. Thanks Hilton Tag: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132327

    - 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. Thank You Tag: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132321

    - 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.

    - 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?

Our vendor cannot find why the clients are still pointing to the old 5.5 server.

    - 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. Thanks. - robbg Tag: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132256

    - 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: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132253

    - Mailbox Full Access I know how to grant an administrator full access to the mail boxes, however, it seems that everywhere I look the administrator is inheriting allow and deny, instead of just deny. I even unlocked the securities tab for the root server (adding the DWord value to registry). Has anyone had this issue? Thanks, James Tag: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132252

    - Installation Recommendations I will be performing an Exchange 2003 install on a Windows 2003 Server (no SP1) I'd like to know if for any reason I should install Win2k3 Server SP1 before installing Exchange Server 2003? As well the Win2K3 server has Sharepoint services installed and running; Any compatibility issues here? Is it recommended to install the latest Exchange Service Pack? Basically I like to get some recommenations (besides the basic Exchange pre-requirements) on setting up the server environment to help make this a smooth implemenation. Thank you in advance, TS.

    - 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). Thanks in advance! Tag: Reinstalling Exchange 2003 Tag: 132241

Exchange 2003.
What is the best way to backup all off Exchange mail boxes and to

Thanks

Post this in the SBS group. the procedure to do this with SBS is different.
I can tell you how this is done in the real world, but, SBS, no idea.
