    - Running the Active Directory Connector while users are logged in Can i be brave and run it?! The Environment is Exchange 5.5 to 2003 single server, single site. What are you actually trying to do? Create the disabled user accounts in AD? If so, you can run this whilst the users are logged into their 5.5 mailboxes, yes. -- Neil Hobson Exchange MVP http://www.msexchange.org/Neil_Hobson/ http://www.msexchangeblog.com Ok, that kinda answers my question... at the mo there is no ADC connection but it is installed ready to go. My concern is we have a number of mailboxes that are associated with groups. From previous testing i know the ADC will create a user account for these mailboxes and disable it. However it will add the members to a group. Giving "Full Mailbox access" to the mailbox assuming the disabled users get re-enabled. Should the users be able to see their secondary mailboxes without much hassle as before? Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150959

    - Windows 2000 DC w/Exchange 2003 upgrade to Windows 2003 DC w/Exchange 2003 Hi We currently have 2 DCs. SERVER2 is Windows 2003 DC (all FSMO roles), GC, DNS, WINS. SERVER1 is Windows 2000 DC, Exchange 2003, DNS, WINS. I need to upgrade SERVER1 to Windows 2003 DC. I know hosting Exchange on a DC isn't recommended, but size and budget limitations mean this is the only option I have (if I want to have 2 DCs on the network). I have no additional hardware. Partitions on SERVER1 need to be resized as C: drive only has 1.5GB free. Bit of a nightmare, I know! However, does anyone have any suggestions? I will obviously read-up and test in a lab envt first, however, off the top of my head, I was thinking: (1) Backup Exchange 2003 database on SERVER1 (2) Shutdown SERVER1 (3) Metadata cleanup of SERVER1 in AD and DNS. (4) Clean install Windows 2003 on SERVER1 with repartitioned HDs. (5) dcpromo SERVER1. (6) Install DNS / WINS (7) Clean install Exchange 2003 with /disasterrecovery switch. Is this possible given the fact that I'll be doing a metadata cleanup of SERVER1 DC entries in AD as a previous step? (8) Restore Exchange 2003 databases. Any comments and advice greatly appreciated!

    - Qmail and Exchange server 2003 Hi All, Currently we have a Qmail server running our mail of course, Spamassasin , Anti-virus protection, etc. We have a mix of Outlook and Thunderbird clients pointing to this Qmail server. Wanted to purchase Exchange server 2003 to handle Calendering/Scheduling needs only, and we would like is to keep our existing Qmail server for our email. Please advise! Much appreciated, Luc Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150949

    - Free Busy data - how to keep it as up-to-date as possible Our company is on the verge of implementing Outlook as our calendaring and scheduling tool. The free/busy data does not work as I expect it would for invite requests. Ideally, all attendees invited would show as tentative on the free/busy views until they actually viewed their meeting request in their mailbox. What I'm finding is only the attendees that have the Outlook client running are getting updated as tentative (or if they act on the meeting request then a status of accept/decline/etc shows up). If someone is out of the office on vacation and their Outlook client isn't running, the meeting requested times are NOT blocked as tentative for free/busy searches. This poses a problem for many of our users who travel and will not access their Outlook until they are in the office. The knowledgebase help I've found so far reinforces my findings. Is there a way to have everyone's meeting requests processed as tentative for free/busy search purposes whether the client is running or not, until they can act on the meeting request in their inbox ? We are also using an auto accept agent that is running as a service on our exchange server for resources such as rooms and AV equipement. It will accept meeting requests automatically for the resoures. Our resources are setup using a CAL. Anyone know of an equivalent agent that would process meeting requests in all users mailboxes as 'tentative' automatically? This would keep the Free Busy map updated at all times.

So... I ran through my DNS wizard again, then ran ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns and netdiag /fix still gives me lots of errors. I'm not sure where to start to get this resolved, but any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch! Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150938

    - Exchange between continets Hello, I need to provide Exchange services for an organistion that has offices in US, UK and Belgium. What are the possible solutions? First I thought about setting one Exchnage server for each location. VPN, pop3, https? In case of using vpn I'm afraid the link will be overloaded with the traffic between Exchange servers - is there a possibility to limit it to a certain level (500 kbps)? Also how safe is the use of connection to Exchange Server over https? Thanks, Yevgeniy Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150933

    - Adding 2nd B/E server... I have inherited an exchange setup as follows, 1 f/e Windows 2003 Ent. and Exchange 2003 Ent. and one b/e Windows 2003 Ent. and Exchange 2003 Ent. the b/e is running out of disk space and in lieu of purchasing new h/w for the messaging infrastructure, I have been told to implement a band-aid solution by using a free server in the office as a 2nd b/e. I have a few questions on the process nad ramifications: 1. Whats the easiest way to add a 2nd b/e end server and move one of the current mail stores from b/e #1 to b/e #2? 2. How will this mail store move affect the clients whose mailboxes are contained in this mail store? 3. Will the move break their connection or will AD take over and remedey the connection? 4. Will the f/e server automatically forward any OWA connections to the new b/e for those users? If not, do I need to create a routing group or will AD take over w/o the need for a routing group?

    - 1 forest to root domains and 2 exchange servers I have 1 forest with 2 root domains. In the primary domain companya.internal we are running exchange 2003 with email addresses as companya.com, we created a second root domain for companyb.internal & want there email addresses as companyb.com in the second domain it has it's own exchange server so now we have 2 exchange servers. Why is the new exchange server in domain companyb.internal when creating new accounts give them the companya.com address as the email address? I want users that are created in companya.internal to have companya.com addresses (This currently still works the way it has for years). But I want users that are created on the companyb.internal domain to have companyb.com address by default? It is like exchange added the new exchange server to the companya organization group and did not create its own companyb organization group. I am not trying to host multiple smtp domains on one server I want them on seperate servers the MX records point to the corasponding exchange servers for each company's domain. Can not find any good papers on setting up multiple exchange servers in multiple domains in the same forest keeping the domain namespaces seperate. Thanks for any info.

    - Performing a Reverse Lookup on Incoming Messages Hi, There is a setting in Exchange that says Perform Reverse DNS Lookup On Incoming Messages. What is the benefit of this? Does this help prevent email from bogus domains? SPAM? I am getting an error when I try to send to a certain domain. The remote host "216.240.32.17", responded to the SMTP command "rcpt" with "450 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [MY MAIL SERVER'S IP] ". The full command sent was "RCPT TO:<emailaddress> ". This may cause the connection to fail. For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp. I am guessing that the remote mail server has the Reverse DNS Lookup enabled and my mail server doesn't have a ptr record. Can anyone confirm my thinking?? Thanks.

    - Exchange 5.5 mailbox migration to AD I have an easy question about moving mailboxes to between 5.5 and AD. I've installed Exchange 2003 into an existing 5.5 org. I have my ADC up and it has created a bunch of disabled objects in AD for each 5.5 mailbox. Unfortunately, I migrated all of my user accounts and groups after the ADC was in place. In many cases the AD users are using their AD account but are tied their Exchange 5.5 mailboxes. How can I migrate the mailboxes from 5.5 to active directory and still let my users keep their existing AD accounts? I've read that the Active Directory cleanup Wizard may help with this. Is this the appropriate tool? Can someone provide a general outline or point me to a reference on how this tool works and if it is the solution I'm looking for? Thanks for any info.

Is there a document that can explain what the configuration settings need to be to allow a user to authenticate without having to use the full 'user@domain.tld'. These users would prefer to just type the 'user' part. TIA Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150895

    - Migration of Public Folders from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003 Hello, This is my first post to this discussion group - please be gentle! We are migrating from Exchange Server 2000 to Exchange 2003. I have moved *all* mailboxes and left the Public Folders until last (big mistake). In a nutshell, the folders are not replicating. I have used the pfMigrate tool to setup the folders for migration. I have verified that all the Public Folders are set to replicate to both the old and new servers. I have verified that the email address (proxyAddresses) are setup correctly for both servers using ADSIEdit. I have setup logging to the suggested levels and there is nothing obvious in the Event Viewer. I do see the Replication Outgoing Messages on both servers but no Replication Inbound Messages on either. I have not been able to see the inbound message in the Message Tracking Log either. This server has been up and running with replication for about ten days and this issue has me stumped. Email messages addressed from a mailbox on the new server to a test mailbox on the old server are transferred just fine. Do I need to create a connector for Public Folder replication? Any assistance would be gratefully received. Kind regards, Gary Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150887

    - Move exchange 2003 to 64 bit I would like to move my exchange 2003 server to new hardware and keep the same name. I have seen the article that discusses it, but it says it should be running the same software. Does that mean if i want to install win2003 64 bit (is running 32 bit on old server) i am not able to keep the same name? or does it not matter if it is running 32 bit vs 64 bit as long as it is running windows 2003 server? I hope that made sense. Thanks! Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150877

    - Unable to receive on newly installed Exchange 2003 I added an Exchange 2003 server SP1 (on Windows Server 2003 SP1) in an organization that made up of one Exchange 2000 server planning eventually moving all the mailboxes to the Exchange 2003 server and removing the Exchange 2000 server. I moved one test mailbox (that already existed and working on Exchange 2000) to the newly installed Exchange 2003 and since hen I'm unable to receive mail on that account. I'm able to send mail internally and externally but not receive from either.

    - Multiple email domains for the same Exchange serveur Hello, Exchange maps DC domain name to SMTP adresses. Let's say DC domain name is acme.com, then AD user john has a mailing address john@acme.com. Now, if we merge with another company previously using mail domain named company.com, we want to create the employes of this company into our AD but wanted their previous adresses to be still valid and the new one too (@acme.com). Do we simply have to add their @company.com addresses into the "Exchange Addresses" tabs of the user in AD Administration program? Thank you for your help. -- Yves Belanger, ift.a.u. Admin. de syst.

    - Mail question Hi, I need to change my A record for my mail server and immediately reuse it for something else. What happens to mail while that A record propagates? Will it simply keep trying to the same wrong IP or will it look up the IP each time it tries to send and thus, eventually get the new IP for the mail server. Thanks.

    - New Install questions It has been quite a while since I have done this, so please understand that I may need to be refreshed on some of the basics. I need to deploy a new Exchange Server 2003. My email domain name is different from my local domain name. Should I set up the exchange domain to match the local domain, for access to Active Directory, and then add the email domain as one to receive emails from in Exchange? Do I have to have a front end and back end Exchange server, or can I just have one? If I can just have one, can I put it behind the firewall? I will need to allow web access as the primary access to the Exchange server. What's the best way to do this? What additional protection will I need to employ?

    - Information Store Will Not Start I installed Exchange Server 2003, into an existing 5.5 site, on a second server, I went though the deployment tools, all worked ok, installed AC Connector and so one. After completing the installation, I restarted the server, it took a very long time to shutdown and restart. I took a look at the services, the information store did not start, I attempted to start manually, it failed with "1068 Dependence Service DID not start, I took a look at the other Exchange Services, all started ok except for System Attendent, which when I start, it says that it started and stopped, saying the some services stop if they have no work to do. I tired to start the MTA Stacks, that gave the same error message as the Information Store. I tried to install the service pack II I beleive, and recived a "Fatal" error after starting the update.exe program. Thanks Steve Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150859

    - ADC error 8286, but inter-org is enabled... Trying to achieve co-existence between old Ex 5.5 org (in NT4) and new Exch 2003 org (in 2003 AD). All users migrated to AD, SID's preserved, mailboxes in 5.5. When using ADC, the 5.5 to 2003 CA works fine, but the 2003 to 5.5 CA generates error 8286 "will not replicate CN=username because source is a custom recipient and destination is a mailbox. If this is a problem, consider making the connection agreement inter-organizational". But it is inter-organizational....we have selected that option in the agreement. Due to this, we only get 2 of the 4 values that we need to see on the ADC-Global-Names attribute (we get the EX5, Forest values but not the NT5, forest values). Any history on this?

    - Delay in recognizing new host of virtual server in cluster I have an Active/Passive 2-node cluster hosting the Exchange virtual server. Everything works well on either node until we shift services to the other node. As soon as the services shift, we lose the ability to ping the virtual server. After some experimentation (pinging the virtual server from various places), we determined that a network switch is causing the problem. If we ping the virtual server from that switch, suddenly communication with the virtual server resumes. Until then, anything upstream of the switch can't reach the virtual server. So... apparently the CAM table in the switch never updates with the new "next hop" to the virtual server (which is the MAC address of the other "real" server adapter. What could cause this? Wouldn't the new host of the VS make enough "noise" to update this table? Is there any way I can force this, or do we need to buy a new switch? -- Kore Breach Network Server Analyst Tag: Simple Exch 2003 setup--best resources??? Tag: 150844

    - SMTP Relay Hi! I have a server with Exchange Server 2003 SP2 installed behind a firewall. The server has only one private IP address (let say: 192.168.0.2) which is mapped on an external public IP address (to which points the DNS name mail.mycompany.com). Everything works fine. My question is basic: is there a way to be sure that 1) my server is not being used as an SMTP Relay by the some bad guy in the wild; 2) that it will never be the case?

My problem is that the member backend exchange server can send mail thru the master to the internet or to the stores on the Master but when I try to send an email back thru the master it automatically forwards it to the frontend and fails to deliver to the exchange member server. all three servers are in the first routing group and I did not want to cluster the backend servers because I will be removing the master server over to the other backend server as soon as all the mailboxes and public folders have been moved. can any body send me information on how to set this up.

    - Exchange SMTP Authentication Our exchange server got messed up when installing another software product and now I'm trying to correct things. Version is 5.5. We can receive e-mail but not send; it gets rejected. The feeling is there is a problem with SMTP authentication. Our ISP says we need to have the correct user name (a name they assigned us when the DSL line with static IP address was set up; I have it) in Exchange so that's sent out (in the header?) with each e-mail so their system knows where it is coming from. Where this might be set in Exchange I am not seeing. Here (with some of the info replaced with ~ characters) is a typical message we get: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: test2 Sent: 10/26/2006 2:16 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: '~~~~~~@hotmail.com' on 10/26/2006 2:29 PM The recipient name is not recognized The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=US;a= ;p=~~~~~ Associates;l=~~~~~~-061026181626Z-2 MSEXCH:IMS:~~~~~ Associates Inc.:~~~~~:~~~~~~ 3550 (000B09AA) 550 Relaying is prohibited The e-mail addresses we're sending to are valid.

Good day all. I administer a small domain (50 users, 1 PDC, 1 add'l server).
Presently, we're running Kerio 6.2.1 Mailserver, and are interested in
moving/migrating to Exchange 2003. 99.9% of the resources I've looked at
regarding Exchange cover migrating from Exch 5.5 to 2003, NOT from another
mail server package.

Also, most of the documentation that I've looked through cover
multiple-server, WANs, branch offices, yadda-yadda. I do not need to concern
myself with this. Like I indicated above, my situation is simple and
straight-forward. What can any of you recommend for a successful
installation?

FYI...Kerio stores all of my users' email, both archived and "live", as .eml
files, which of course open with Outlook Express. This does then offer a
better potential for migration?

Any and all comments & suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks!

If you have IMAP access to Kerio, then you can use the Migration Wizard.
