Outlook cannot connect to Exchange 2003 Enterprise server: OWA OK
Hi
i recently had to bring up a new 2003 server when our old server died. I migrated all the accounts over to the new machine and am experiencing the following
OWA works fine. Nobody can connect with outlook - even a check name fails even though the machine name resolves. says outlook cannot logon etc. can ping machine by name, fqd and ip address and all respond correctly
I am guessing this is some sort of permissions problem. have looked at all the threads re:RPC but that is not the problem. we are experincing this across XP w/ 3 different versions of Office
Any ideas - this has reached crisis level Tag: domain controller or member server Tag: 108434

Exchange 5.5 Server, Active Directory and Windows 2000 Server?
I'm curious if anyone has implemented this setup. If you
have any feedback regarding the feasibility and
compatibility of these three titles, please share. I
currently run Exchange 5.5 on an NT4 server and am in the
research process for possibly upgrading the OS without
upgrading the mail software. Thanks in advance!

Exch 5.5 OWA causes reboots
When I access OWA and do any navigation other than the
Inbox, I can almost always expect my Exchange 5.5 server
to crash (with an unexpected restart in the Event Log).
I'm on NT4.0 with SP6a and all the latest MS upgrades.
Exchange 5.5 is up to date with all service packs. I
access the Exchange server by port redirection on my DSL
Router/Hub. All Inbox activity seem to work fine (i.e.
look at emails, delete emails and create/send emails).
It's when I go to places like the Deleted folder or the
Contacts folder that server crash will take place.
The server can run indefinately if I just use Outlook 2000
clients. The crashes only coour when I access OWA remotely.
Does anybody know why this happens?

Failed migration of public/system folders...
We migrated from Exchange 5.5 to 2003, by adding a W2K3
server with Exch 2003 to an existing 5.5 domain. After
moving all mailboxes successfully, the public folders were
migrated, and the old 5.5 server removed.
However, some of the public system folders failed to
move (primarily the Schedule+ Free/Busy, and the Offline
Address Folders).
I wasn't involved directly with the public folder move
or the 5.5 server removal, and suspect that something
happened during the process that caused the failure of
some system folders to fail in being migrated.
My boss spent over 60 hours on the phone with MS Tech
support, who didn't appear to even understand any of the
problems, and finally stated that they were going to close
the support case, still unsolved.
He's spent over 3 weeks in trying to address the
problems & is almost ready to either try erasing the 2003
server and reinstalling it from scratch (not upgrading
from 5.5), then trying to recover the private mailboxes
from a tape, or else moving to an entirely different mail
server product, such as OpenMail on Linux, or Lotus
Domino, etc.
I've been able to restore the system folders to the
\Folders\Puclic Folders\ tree in System Manager, but they
will not replicate to the server's Public Store, and I
cannot access properties for either folder instance.
Does anyone know how they can be repaired, or recreated
entirely?
Thanks,

Exchange 2003 Setup Failed forestprep
1 domain controller - Windows 2003. Upgraded a fresh 2000 server to Windows 2003 to load Exchange 2003 on - currently running 5.5 on another server.
I followed the "co-exist with 5.5" option in the setup and all seemed to work (4 pages worth). AD Connector worked -- all seemed fine. When I got to the Exchange installation step near the end it failed because it was unable to extend the forest. Running the setup with the /ForestPrep switch yields the same results.

Multiple POP3 Domains on SBS2000 with Exchange
I am currently running SBS2000 and 1 exchange server, using an
internal domain name (domain1). I have downloaded and installed the
POP3 connector from Microsoft because many of our users have external
e-mail addresses as well. The internal domain (domain1) is the same as
one of our external (POP3) domains. All e-mail going to external POP3
accounts (usera@domain1.com, userb@domain1.com) is retrieved via the
Connector and delivered accordingly. However, I have also configured
the connector to retrieve POP3 e-mails for our other external domain
(usera@domain2.com, userb@domain2.com), but the connector does not
retrieve these e-mails. Any thoughts? I have also downloaded and
installed 2 demo versions of other connectors (POPCon & eXchangePOP)
but with the same results.
Thanks in advance!

Migrating from POP3 to Exchange 2003
We currently have all of our e-mail setup as POP3 through our webhosting
company. I have recently purchased Exchange 2003 so that we may take
advantage of its benefits over standard POP mail. Does anyone know of any
problems I may run into while doing this? I know some e-mails may be lost as
DNS records are being updated after I switch mail.XYZ.com from our

Exchange 2003 - Clean install vs. Upgrade
We are currently running Exchange 5.5 on Windows NT4 and have about 50 users and 3 domains
We are moving to Exchange 2003 and I have a few questions on the best upgrade approach
We have purchased a new server for Exchange 2003 because our old server does not meet the minimum requirements
I am considering two options
Option 1
Install Windows NT 4 on the new server. Then install Exchange 5.5 and restore our data to the server. Then upgrade the operating system to Windows 2003 and finally upgrade Exchange to 2003
Option 2
Start fresh with a clean install of Windows 2003 then install Exchange 2003 and migrate over the mailboxes
I am not sure which option is the best approach or even the pros and cons of each. My gut says go with option 2 because clean is best and we have so few users. My concern is I have not supported multiple Exchange servers and I donâ??t know what I am getting into
Does anyone have any suggestions or feedback
Also does any know of any White Papers or How Toâ??s I can read up on

Migration Issue. Urgent.
Friends, I have a little and interesting question.
I am planning to migrate Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003, right?
But I havea doubt.
I will install a new server, migrate everything (this has been tested and
works perfect) mailboxes, public folders, etc. For example, the new server
it is called exchange2003, the old server it is called exchange55.
If I turn off the exchage55 server and change the exchange2003 name to
exchange55 (like the original one) and the IP addresses to the exchange55,
do the clients computers have to reconfigure they reading account
properties? Or I can leave the exchange 2003 name and IP addresses with out
modifying and make the changes in the DNS?, with this solution, the clients
does have to make any change?, because I am looking for the best solution
for the clients, they dont have access to modify anything and If I have to
go to each computer to change the profile I will get crazy soon.
Thank you very much for your help my friends.
Kind Regards.

Install of exchange 2003
Hi there,
I have read through a couple deployment guides and have a
couple questions before I go ahead and upgrade.
1. I have decided to install a new server with Windows
2003 as my Domain master for everything (PDC emulator)
I'll let this run for a week or two just to ensure
reliablity.
2. Once this has run for some time I will install exch
2003(I am currently running Win2K in native mode and Exch
2000 in native mode. I have about 8 exchnage 2000 servers
accross the country, will the domain prep and forest prep
effect my existing servers, as this will be a phased
approach and will do one server a month.
3. I will then have my exchange 2003 infustructure in
place, I think moving the mailbox's from the 2000 server
to the 2003 server will work the best for me, are there
any problems with a mailbox move from 2000 - 2003
Thanks for your assistance

Exchange 5.5 -> 2K3 - ADC Step 4 Problems
Hi Everyone,
We've recently upgraded to Windows 2003 at both of our sites, each site has
it's own domain (NOT in the same forest) but they are linked by a two-way
trust.
We were running Exchange 5.5, with a server at each site but in the same
organisation, the remote site has completed an upgrade to Exchange 2003 and
is happily using it. However now i'm trying to upgrade(well migrate) our
local exchange server, I've gotten through the install to the point of the
ADC Tools setup, the first three steps complete successfully. However the
4th stage, during the Connection Agreement Wizard when you have to specify
the Credentials for the individual sites the local site is fine, but the
remote site gives the following error:
"? Unable to find a responsive Exchange 5.5 server in the specified site.
The operation has completed successfully."
And you cannot proceed. I can't figure out if it's having problems accessing
the remote server, or if the problem is because the remote system is running
Exchange 5.5 and 2003!
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Static RPC ports
I have a firewall/static port mapping question.
A number of articles talk about assigning static ports for
Exchange. In particular the registry key of note is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet
However I can't find where is it discussed how many ports
you need to reserve. Usually 20 ports are mentioned as an
example. How many ports do I need to "open/reserve" for
Exchange?
I'm sure it depends on the number of clients?? If I have
1500 recipients per Exchange server how many RPC ports
should I enter in the above registry key?

How to preserve Rich Text Format on replies (Exch 5.5)??
Sorry about multiple positing, the first one got to the wrong group...
Our Exchange server is version 5.5. Users have both outlook 2000 and
2003.
I want to set up the Exchange server such that if a domain user
replies to a message that arrived in Rich Text format from another
Outlook user on the Internet the reply shall also be in rich text.
As it is now our users receive the message in rich text. Then they
reply and edit the reply with rich text so they can color code certain
parts of it. And they also copy the reply to a user in the same
company, i.e. on the same Exchange server.
But when the reply is sent out to the original sender he receives
the message in plaintext, whereas the internal user sees it in rich
text as does the sender if he looks in his sent items folder! So the
same message is different for these users, surely this cannot be
accepted!
If the sender changes the To: address, which has been put there by
Outlook after clicking the reply button, to the same address but
taken from his own address book, then the output message is in rich
text to all including the person on the Internet!
Obviously I want the message to retain its rich text format without
the users having to change the address of the message after making a
reply.
So where do I set this?? I have looked everywhere I can think of. In
the Exchange Server settings for Internet Email I have made every
change I can think of. Also in Outlook I have searched for this
setting, but with no success.

Problem Moving Mailboxes?
1. We have a Domain server running Win 2k Sp4.
2. We have Ex 5.5 Sp4 installed on a Win 2k Sp4 Server.
3. We have done a fresh install of 2003 Server on a new
server, and then a fresh install of Exchange 2003. Once
this is running properly, we want to move the mailboxes
from the 5.5 to the 2003 exchange server.
4. I set up the Active Directory connector on the 2003
server, and it is running a 2 way connection between the
Domain server and the 5.5 server, using the default LDAP
port 389. It is replicating to the default objects
(Active Directory users > Exchange Recients both ways)
5. I can see the 5.5 server on the 2003 server management
snap in, but with no attributes.
6. I can see the 2003 ex server on the 5.5 server
management interface but it will not let me move the mail
boxes.
7. There are no events in any event logs mentioning the
ADC's failures or successes.
8. When I first forced the Replicate Now option, in the
Exchange 5.5 server, a Custom Recipient was generated for
every mailbox.

suggestions? Do I have to change the LDAP port? Do I need

Exchange 2003 server in Exchange 5.5 site
Hi,
I've configured the ADC between the 5.5 exchange and the Windows 2000 domain
and its all working fine (using the Exchange 2003 ADC). I've just installed
my first Exchange 2003 server into the 5.5 org however when I run the System
Administrator as the administrator I only see the Recipients and Tools
branches (missing Global Settings and Administrative Groups), but if I logon
as exch_srv (the Exchange 5.5 domain service account) I get the normal view
and works fine. Administrator does have full permissions in the Exchange 5.5
site so I don't know why this is happening.
Also if from the Exchange 5.5 Administrator application I try and view the
Logons container of the Mailbox Store of the 2003 server I get a MAPI error,
is this normal? I get the same error when I try and run the 5.5
administrator on the Exchange 2003 server, "You do not have the rigts
required to complete the operation".
Even logging on as exch_srv trying to move a mailbox from the 5.5 to the
2003 fails (part of the error file below:)

"@domain2.com", which i did.
as im sure you can imagine, it doesnt work. from within the office, if i use
outlook to send
and email to the domain2.com domain it works fine. of course the whole idea
is to have email
sent from the internet addressed to domain2.com handled by exchange and that
is not working.

Installing new Exch 2003
Guys,
I would like to add a new server box and install a windows 2003 and exchange
2003 and join my existing windows 2000 domain. Here is what I have
currently:
2xwindows 2000 DC(still in mixed mode) with SP3
1x windows 2000 with SP3 and exchange 2000 with SP3(member server)
I would like to add new windows 2003 box as member server on a windows 2000
domain and install exchange 2003 on it and join exchange 2000 org
Questions:
1. Since I need to run setup /forestprep and setup /domainprep before
installing exchange 2003, what steps I should be taking care of before
running these utilties. I mean some kind of fall back or roll back schenario
just in case something happen to the AD during the forestprep/domainprep
setup. I understand that when you run these utiltities it will do some
schema changes on the windows 2000 AD to accomodate the Exch 2003
2. As per my current set-up, does my Exch 2000 will works after running the
above utilties
3. Assuming that the setup /foresetprep and setup /domainprep is
successfully done on my AD. While installing the exh2003 on the new box,
will the exchange 2003 installation prompt me to join an existing exchange
2000 organization/site as in the case of Exchange of 5.5. I could not
find any documentation that it will as or prompt you to join the existing
Exch 2000 org or site. Please help
Thank you in advance for your help.

Trouble with Public Folders
I recently upgraded my Ex2K Server to sp3 and in so doing upgraded my OWA installation. Here's the problem.
After installing sp3, the Public Folders became available in OWA apparently with no discretion with regard to the user. I decided to change the permissions on the Public Folder and restrict the availability to only certain users using ESM. Apparently, this was a huge mistake. I inadvertently deleted the Owner of the Public Folders and now none of the users on the network can see the Public Folders. Apparently having Admin privileges is not a substitute for the owner role.
1. How can I gain access to the public folders again? Based on my research, I think I may have to use the PFAdmin utility but I have no idea how to use it.
2. How can I restrict access to the public folders in OWA once we can see them again?
I really wish I had asked before deleting the permissions and not afterwards, but then again hindsight is 20/20! Your input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance to anyone that responds to this thread. Tag: domain controller or member server Tag: 108318
Native Mode...
I'm trying to migrate my NT user accounts to Win2K AD with
ADMT, however I'm getting an error telling me that the
target domain is not in Native Mode. Why would I put it
in Native mode if I'm synchronizing an NT box with a 2K
machine?? HELP!!! Tag: domain controller or member server Tag: 108317
exchange 2003 setup
I'm attempting to setup Exchange 2003 on an Win2k3 box. The goal is
this exchange server will host serveral non-contigious domains for
different companies, say:
company_abc.com
company_xyn.net
Each group of users should have their own unique administrative
policies. Since exchange 2003 is tied so closely w/ active directory
and the method of installing users into seperate groups is to either
multiple domains or multiple forests.
I've already installed active directory on the Win2k3 machine and have
what I believe to be the 'root forest domain'. A active directory
domain with only a handful of administrators.
To create a new forest or domain to hold a new group of customers
belonging to a new administrative body I did read the docs and ran
dcpromo
The problem is dcpromo just prompts to remove active directory - not
to install an additional domain or forest...
My question is - how do I add an addition forest to put users
belonging to seperate administrative groups and non-contigious dns
space? - sentence was a mouthful. Tag: domain controller or member server Tag: 108316
Load Balancing Cluster
I have Windows 2000 Server (Just Server) and Exchange 2003. When I try to
run the Internet Mail Wizard I get the error that Exchange can not be
installed on a server that is part of a load balancing cluster. It isn't.
Anyone seen that?

Exchange 2003 Evaluation, Server 2000 to Server 2003
I have a Windows 2000 Server running Exchange 5.5. I want to end up
with a Windows 2003 Server running Exchange 2003.
I have purchased Windows 2003 Server. I understand that I can't run
Exchange 5.5 on it, and that I have to run Exchange 2003 on it.
Can I do the following steps in the following order:
1) Download the Exchange 2003 Evaluation version.
2) Install it on my Windows 2000 Server.
3) Upgrade my Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server.
4) Purchase a license for Exchange 2003 and install it, without
losing any settings or data.
When I first installed Exchange 5.5, I installed the evaluation version.
When I purchased a license and tried to install it, I found that IT WAS
IMPOSSIBLE, and that I had to start over. Is this still the case with
Exchange 2003 Server? Tag: domain controller or member server Tag: 108314

exchange 2003 server w/ 2 2000 servers
I have 3 servers all 2000 1 with exchange 2000 on it. I
am putting a new server in to replace the exchange
server. I am installing a windows 2003 server with
exchange 2003. Should I upgrade my other 2 servers to
2003 or is the adprep tool ok to link the servers.
I am open to all suggestions.
Thanks for your help Tag: domain controller or member server Tag: 108311
Can anyone specify a link for information regarding benefits/drawbacks of installing Exchange 2000 on both domain controllers or member servers?
