    - Exchange 2007 Storage Groups I am migrating our Exchange 2003 Server to 2007 standard. I am looking for an Exchange 2007 storage groups best practice guide. In addition we have a small base of users but i am also looking for some sort of guidelines as to why I may (or may not) want to use more than 1 storage group in my configuration. Any help or resources here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166642

    - E2K3 / Win2008 Is there a documented procedure for installing Exchange Server 2003 on a 32 bit Windows Server 2008 box? My attempts result in messages that say NNTP, SMTP and IIS plug-ins are not set up but I can't seem to find out how to set those services up in WS2008. It would be nice if there was a documented procedure for this so as to avoid other pitfalls that might be coming down the road.

    - frontend/backend config question Exchange 2003, frontend - backend server config. Let's call the servers front1 and back1. I thought I could set up our basic Outlook 2003 install to create a mail profile with front1 as the server name and the logged-in user's username as mailbox name, and then the MAPI client would be smart enough to find the mailbox on back1, but it's not doing that. The first attempt fails, and if I manually enter the "back1" as the server name, MAPI finds the mailbox immediately. I know I could create the install with "back1" as the server name, but I'm thinking ahead to whenever I have to migrate to a new server again- it would be nice to not have to change the install. Am I misunderstanding something about front-end/back-end (like, there's no way what I'm doing should ever work)? Or have I likely fouled up something about the front-end/back-end config?

    - Decommission old Exchange 2003 (confirm public folders question) Hi, Couple of months ago we installed exc2007sp1 is addition to an old exchange2003, both co exists fine but now all users are migrated to the new server so we want to completely remove old exch2003. Only thing old exchange2003 is used for now is hosting public folders which we have a bunch of. What are our options, can we uninstall old 2003 server and we still have public folders as we are used to having now?

    - ActiveSync issue Hello I have 1 excheange 2003sp2 server ports 80, 443 are open. trying to setup Treo using activesynch 4.5. We do use OWA (forms based auth) with SSL. I believe this is the cause of the issue I am having with not being able to synch. Does anyone have a fix other than stop using ssl and buy a front end server? I would like to avoid registry hacks also. thanks Craigr Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166620

    - Lost Send-As permissions We were restoring an exchange database, and made a mistake of deleted the users off of users in that database. After re-attaching the mailboxes to users, people using shared mailboxes can now access the mailboxes, but cannot send-as anymore. In checking A/D, the mailbox permissions are still the same. Any idea what might be going on here? Thanks much! Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166617

    - When to use multiple Storage Groups? As subject really. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890699 explains the best practise how to configure storage groups, but I'm struggling a little to understand when/where you would want to? For example we have a single Exchange 2003 Enterprise server with a single storage group and a single private and public information store, and it's getting full. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124123.aspx is a useful read but it focuses on things like disaster recovery and performance (it makes sense that with dedicated spindles to each storage group/database performance should be higher) but it doesn't make too clear whether you would group users together by area (to try and maximize SIS) or by mailbox size (to put the hogs together) and so on? I'd appreciate any clarification and guidance. Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166613

    - public folders If I would like to install Exchange 2007 and one of the main reasons is to take advantage of public folders for sharing calendars and contact lists, but, it seems microsoft is starting to cripple public folders, what do I do? I don't want to have to set up sharepoing just for this. I would like the shared data to stay on the exchange server. Did I hear correctly that OWA can't see public folders? If this is true how do I get offsite users to see the shared contact lists? Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166605

    - OWA and Outlook anywhere (RPC over HTTPS) external settings I am in the process of upgrading from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. I have a FE exchange 2003 server that gives access to OWA, pop3 and imap4 with fqdn mail.domain.com. I already installed the Exchange 2007 servser CAS roll but I have not done the redirection to this server on the firewall yet.

    - Exchange system management tools Hello weÂ´ve installt Windows Server 2003 64 Bit version. Into the company we had worldwide Exchange 2003 servers on different locations. Now I am looking for a possibility to install Exchange system management tools on the server for mmc addons for active directory users and computers to admin the exchange users. If I try to use Exchange 2003 I get error message: Microsoft Exchange Server has a known compatibility issue with this version of Windows. For information refer ... I know that it is not recommended to install Exchange 2003 on a 64 Bit OS. But recommended doesnÂ´t meen not possible. Via Google I found several informations that there is a way to install but nobody describe how I can do that. Is there anybody how can tell me how does it work? Normally I do not need the complete installation of Exchange Server. I only need the system management tools (Properties tabs Exchange General, -Features, -Advanced and E-Mail addresses and tabs Puplished Certificates, Object and Security) . But it seem to be there is no way to install them without general installation procedure of Exchange. I am a little bit afraid to use Exchange 2007 (and I donÂ´t know if we have a licence) because as I wrote we only have Exchange 2003 mail servers. And I would not have any impact to them by the 64 bit OS and Exchange 2007. Gratefull for every kind of help and ideas.

    - Exchange 2007 Outlook Web Access redirect to /exchange We just installed Exchange 2007 and installed a third-party SSL Certificate to secure OWA, ActiveSync, and Outlook Anywhere. In IIS we would like to set the Default Web Site Home Directory to redirect to /exchange, but when we change this it changes the subfolder settings of the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync site and Active Sync users aren't able to synchronize. If we just keep the Default Web Site Home Directory alone to "A directory located on this computer" ActiveSync works fine. Is there a way to redirect the Default Web Site to /exchange while allowing ActiveSync users to continue to synchronize through port 443? I should also mention that the server source that ActiveSync Users are syncing with is the same Default Web Site name. Thanks.

    - Exchange ActiveSync configuration Hello, I am having difficulties connecting my new Windows Mobile (v6) device to our Exchange 2003 SP2 server installed on Windows 2003 SP1. The Exchange server was setup before I got there. We have Outlook Web Acces, which works just fine with a SSL certificate from VeriSign. My account in AD is set for Mobile access and same for the Exchange server. The OWA server is seperate from the mail server. Can someone help me or point me in the right direction on where to start looking? Our OWA has a /exchange at the end, but my mobile device doesn't keep that when I enter it in. Thanks!

    - Standalone Exchange 2007 installation Environment: There are 2 domain controllers and 1 Exchange Server 2003 Standard edition. All operating systems installed are Windows Server 2003 Standard edition. 2 more servers shall be added in this environment with an external network storage, on which a Windows Cluster is required to be installed (Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition x64). This cluster is destined to have highly available the File and Print Server Roles for a group of ~35 users. An Exchange Server 2007 Standard Edition is also reqiured to be installed as a standalone server in coexistence with the Exchange Server 2003 in tha same organization. The Exchange 2007 was destined to be installed as a standalone server only (not in cluster mode) on the first node of the cluster. Problem: As we came to find out, the Exchange Server 2007 Standard edition is not allowed to be installed on the first node of the cluster with the Mailbox, Hub Transport, and Client Access roles. It only allows you to install an Active or Passive Mailbox role together with the exchange management tools, which is of course not supported by Microsoft in a production environment. So the problem now is that we have an Exchange Server 2007 Standard edition which cannot be installed in the existing environment, therefore we are trying to find what are the options to provide a solution and proceed with the implementation. Options in question: - Is there a way to technicallly allow the Exchange Server 2007 Standard edition to be installed on the first node of the cluster? - If we use the Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise edition can the the Mailbox, Hub Transport, and Client Access roles be installed on the first node of the cluster? - Can the Exchange Server 2007 Standard edition be installed first on one of the two servers and then install the Windows Cluster? - As no more machines can be acquired for this environment, can there be a solution provided without leaving behind the option to install the Windows Cluster?

    - best way to allocate my SAN space for EX07 I have a limited number of disks right now in my EMC CX300 SAN. I am going to deploy a CCR pair of mailbox servers and I am wonder what the opinion is for the best way to layout my LUNs. There will be 3 servers connected. 1 CAS/HUB and the 2 MB servers. I have 15 133GB SCSI disks in the SAN. So far, I have 1 RAID1 raid group split in 3 LUNs, and the other 13 disks in one large RAID5 group and several LUNs in there split umoungst the 3 servers. Does this make any sense? Should I have seperate RAID groups of 3 disks each for the different Storage groups? how much performance will i lose by having all 3 servers use the same RAID1 for logs and the same large RAID5 for DBs? I won't have enough disks to really do it right with a raid1 and a raid5 group per server, so I am looking for advice on getting the most performance out of it as is.

    - Anti Spam updates & Enterprise Version Dear reader, 1) We are a relative small company moving from former Exchange versions to 2007 (SP1) 2) We decided that we would not use the Edge Server role because it is rather expensive (additional hardware). 3) Main reason to move to Exchange 2007 is that we can use the enhanced anti spam facilities (and the like). Note: We also installed Forefront for Exchange (SP1). 4) Anti Spam updates is why we opted to install the Enterprise Version of the product, because only that version supports the (daily) updates. We used an Enterprise Key to activate Exchange. 5) We enabled the anti-spam functionality on the Hub Transport server ./install-AntispamAgents.ps1. No problem. 6) We created a policy in Server 2008 to update Exchange via the WSUS (3.0 SP1) on an hourly basis. 7) On the WSUS server, we do receive the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Block List and the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Anti-spam Signatures on a regular basis (several tines per day). Perfect. Problems are following: A: We see in the WSUS that our Exchange Server does not install the Enterprise versions of the filters (mentioning Not Applicable). However, it does install the Standard Filters (that are updated once per month). This is of course a behaviour we do not want. Where can we locate the problem and how can we solve it? B: In addition, we discovered that anti-spam functionality on the Hub Transport server does not enable us to e.g. enter domains in the Allow List Some of the filters simply do not have the Property tab (they have it on the Edge Server). What to do? -- Jan Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166571

    - Exchange 2007 and SSL Hello, I have a client how has a single server running AD, DHCP, DNS and Exchange 2007 (know it's not ideal but it's a 2 person business, and will move over to SBS 2008 when it's released!). During the installation of Exchange, it creates it's own SSL cert, which uses the server names as it's common name. Outlook 2007 clients then connect over SSL using this certificate. As they use OWA externally, I have installed a proper SSL cert which uses email.<domainname>.co.uk as it's common name. This has in turn caused local Outlook 2007 clients to bring up an Security Alert message box when first opened about an invalid name on the SSL. This is because the Outlook clients are still pointing to <servername>.<domainname>.co.uk. When trying to tell Outlook to use the email.<domainname>.co.uk alias, it automatically reinputs the physical servername, which means I can't prevent the alert from appearing in Outlook. Any ideas?

I have stopped all cluster resources with the exception of the disk, Name, and IP resources and prior to installing Jetstress, I unloaded the performance counters unlodctr ese. Like other posts, when I run JetStressWIN, I get the message "This process is required to restart for the changes to take effect." When I run using JetStressCMD, I get this message, another message "This process is going to restart itself within 5 seconds" at which time a new window spawns, with new windows spawning after each restart. I do get a message "Database or Database ==> Instances performance counter category is not registered" that displays every time. Does anyone have any idea?

    - new setup can't send/receive from the outside Good morning, I setup a new server (W2k3) with Exchange 2003 on it. This is a test environment, so it is not part of our company's domain. The server has two nic cards - one is on the LAN side and the other connects directly to the cable modem from the outside. The domain registrar is pointing to the IP address of the WAN connection. I registered the server in our DNS table internally. I can send/receive to the server internally, but externally it isn't being seen. Any messages sent from the outside bounce. Also, you can't send to an outside email address. I had it working with just POP services prior to installing Exchange, so I know the domain registrar is setup correctly and the IPs are all setup correclty. I don't know what needs to be done at this point. I am a newbie to Exchange, so I need it spelled out please.

    - Database Maximum Size I am running Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition with SP2. I have tweaked the registry to allow a maximum size of 75 GB for the database . I wonder what does this number stands for: is it the sum of the priv1.edb size and the priv1.stm size? Currently, the sizes are: 56 GB for priv1.edb 25 GB for priv1.stm And the database is still mounted - and Exchange running. What is the real threshold? Help appreciated.

    - Error "Could not read the Security Descriptor from the Exchange Server object..." Hi all, We migrated our Exchange 2000 server to Exchange 2007 a few weeks ago following Microsoft checklist at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997617(EXCHG.80).aspx. Now I receive the following error each 10-20 min: Event ID 8365 Could not read the Security Descriptor from the Exchange Server object with guid=xxxx As a result the Proxy Address Calculation RPC interface will not be available on the local Exchange Server. Following the indications of the Help and Support Center I ran "Get-ExchangeServer | fl name,guid". I returned only one Exchange Server 2007 (we already removed the Exchange 2000 server) and the guid of this server is not the same guid reported in the above mentioned event. So I suppouse the guid reported in the event is the guis of the previous Exchange 2000 server. How can I get rid of this error? Our Exchange 2007 organisation is used only for internal email exchange. It does not connects to the Internet nor any other mail server. Any hint is welcomed Thanks in advance Sammy Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166519

    - messages queued in routing group connector I just installed Exchange 2007 along side our existing Exchange 2003 environment and message flow is working fine except for emails from the Internet to users who are on Exchange 2007. Here's our setup... 1) public MX record points to Exchange 2003 server 2) created routing group connector between Exchange 2003 and 2007 Exchange 2003 users can send email to Exchange 2007 users without any problem using the routing group connector. When Internet users send email to Exchange 2007 users, it comes through Exchange 2003 and hits the "routing group connector queue" and just sits there in queue. Eventually the Internet user will get an NDR error 4.4.7. I checked this error and it said it typically was an issue with the receive connector but my recieve connector looks fine and even deleted it and recreated to no avail. The other thing it mentions about NDR 4.4.7 is that it could be a reverse DNS issue. My PTR record points to the Exchange 2003 server so that should be good. Any thoughts as to why email from the Internet to Exchange 2007 users just sits in the routing group connector queue? Thanks!

    - CAS server and Outlook 2003 Hi I=92m a little confused if I need to deploy a client access server (CAS) or not. Basically we=92re going to upgrade from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 (single domain \ single forest so should be a transition \ mailbox move). We=92re a med sized company of about 1500 users, with 2 main sites where the Exchange servers reside plus 3 small offices with just users and a local DC for speedy logon. The workstations and desktops will not be upgraded and will continue using Outlook 2003 as the mapi client (powers that be will not upgrade the desktops at present). We don=92t use OWA or mobile. I have two questions: 1. From what I understand Outlook 2003 mapi workstations talk direct to the mailbox server and do not need to a CAS server (is that correct?. If that is right, then do I only need to install mailbox servers and hub server roles? (Looking to install just a mailbox and a hub server at each of the 2 main offices). 2. If I install just the hub and mailbox servers now, can I then add a CAS server at a later date if required?

    - What type of Certificate is needed for CAS 2007 server We are going to be replacing our OWA 2003 server with a CAS 2007 server in preparation for an Exchange 2007 migration. Today, the OWA server handles Outlook Mobile Access, Outlook Web Access, and RPC/HTTPS redirects for our clients. In the new environment, the CAS server will handle the same requests. We are not deploying any unified messaging at this point. What type of certificate is required on the CAS server? I am being told a UC certificate is required, however I am reading that a simple SSL certificate will perform all of the functions. Please help!

    - Exchange 2003/2007 Coexistence and OWA We are planning to install a new Exchange 2007 server which will host all roles and will coexist with our existing Exchange 2003 server. I just read a Technet article from Managing OWA Virtual Directories in Exchange 2007 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998849(EXCHG.80,printer).aspx) that says that Exchange 2003 mailbox users won't be redirected to their mailbox when they access the Client Access server with the /exchange virtual directory if the CAS has both Client Access and Mailbox role installed. We don't want to have to purchase a new Exchange license and server just to work around this. Does anyone know if Exchange 2007 SP1 fixes this or is there a workaround? Thanks. ...If the server that hosts the Client Access server role also hosts the Mailbox server role, users who use the /Exchange virtual directory will be redirected to the /owa virtual directory, which cannot be used by Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 mailboxes. If you must support Outlook Web Access access to Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 mailboxes, do not install the Client Access and Mailbox roles on the same Exchange 2007 server.

    - Transitioninig from EXchange2000 to EXchg2007 problem with ADC We are running Windows 2003 domain controllers with Exchange 2000. We are setting up co-existence for EX2007. In the process of setting up the active directory for the EX2007 install I am getting a message when I run command: setup /PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions This results in a the following message: FAILED - One or more AD connectors have been found. Please remove all Active Directory Connectors. The thing is that I don't find any ADC installed in the EX2000 server, but I suspect there may be remnants from the time when we used to run EX 5.5 before the EX2000 upgrade. I have checked the EX2000 server's add/remove programs and don't find any connectors listed or any MS ADC services running either. EX 2K System Manager also has no replication connectors or any site replication services installed that may affect this and the EX organization is native mode. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanx in advance Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166494

    - Exchange 2003 Disaster Recovery My question is fairly simple. What I have: A full backup of the Exchange Server 2003 SP2 database made with NT Backup The NetBIOS name of the server The NT Domain name The list of the users with mailboxes (domain name and friendly name of the users) A new server freshly installed in a WORKGROUP What I do not have anymore: The machine on which Exchange Server was installed on The domain (no DC with AD anymore) My question is: ++ Is it possible to restore the Exchange functionalities on the new server ++ Is it possible at least to extract the content of the mailboxes (with ExMerge for example) even if it takes time All of this is for testing purpose. Help appreciated. Nicolas Tag: Unable to remove an old administrative group in Exchange System Ma Tag: 166489

    - No IMF node and no Archiving occurs This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0006_01C8B74F.9600BFB0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, We're using Exchange 2003 SP2 on Win Svr 2003 Std. We have a single Exchange server, which has been configured as both = Front and Back-end server to enable RPC over HTTP by following the = deployment guide for this scenario. Prior to Exchange SP2, I installed the separate IMF. When SP2 came out, = I followed the advice to uninstall IMF then install SP2. The IMF is working in that it is filtering out messages, but the = configuration of it seems incorrect. I have specified that it should archive all messages that it blocks.

I have viewed some screenshots where the IMF appears as a node under the = SMTP Protocol, beside the Default SMTP Virtual Server - but on our = server this has never been present.

I'm currently working on a project of moving an organization from
Windows/Exchange 2000 to 2003.

I need to clean up some 'junk' first. In Exchange system manager, I see two
objects that I cannot delete.

One is a server under an administrative group that still contains a good
server.

The second thing is an entire administrative group. There are no objects
under it. It is empty, but cannot be removed.

In both cases, the objects are visible, but are WHITE. I'm assuming that
this indicates that they are defunct in some way.

How can I remove these? Is using ADSIEDIT the only option? If so, can
someone tell me exactly where to go to delete them? Will this cause any
problems on our network?

Thanks
PM
