    - Maybe this is a silly question. Our company name is "abc" our website is "abc.com" or email is "name@abc.com" our domain name is "abc" we are in the process of changing all this Our company name is going to be "xyz" and our website is going to be "xyz.com" and we want to have our email become "name@xyz.com" For the next few months though we want each persons outlook email to be configured with 2 mailboxes "mail@abc.com" and "mail@xyz.com" so that it stays completely seperate until almost no one sends mail to "abc.com" anymore at which time we will remove the abc.com. What I need to know is how to add xyz.com to our exchange server so I can set up emails with xyz.com and configure everyones outlook with xyz.com. (we are not changing the domain ever or until I quit) Any help would be great. Thank you Mell Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143325

    - Unknown version of Exchange Server I've installed Standard version of MS Exchange Server 2003, later I upgraded to Enterprise from a MS TechNet DVD because it was a weekend and we didn't have anything else around. I now have the real Enterprise edition CD. Do i have to update the Exchange with the Enterprise CD? It says no expiry but unknown version. How do I know for sure it's not going to expire because it's in production right now. My Exchange Server setup Progress.log: [03:49:11] Setup configuration information: -- ID:62227 -- [03:49:11] This is a(n) unknown version of Microsoft Exchange Server -- ID:62232 -- [03:49:11] This is not an evaluation copy of Microsoft Exchange Server; it will not expire -- Thanks Tony tyung@ualberta.caNOSPAM (delete NOSPAM) Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143317

    - Info Adress fo Everyone Hi, I want to set up an address info@mydomain.com wich will be re-directed to every user (user@mydomain.com). Clearly, when someone (from the network or from the Internet) sends an e-mail to info@mydomain.com, every user from mydomain.com will get a copy in his or her mailbox. What is the best way to achieve that? Many thanks. Ncolas Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143315

    - Address Lists Hi! I'm finishing to set up a fresh install of W2K3 Server + Exchange Server 2003 SP2. I wish to set up a list of external addresses (not belonging to the AD) which will be accessible to the Exchange users from their Outlook 2003 clients. Read/write rights need to be applied to his list. I did it by putting the addresses in a specific Public Folder accessible from Outlook (under the Exchange System Attendant). I have three questions: 1. Is it the best practice to do that? The Address lists and Global Address Lists drill-down of the Exchange System Attendant seems to me more appropriate, but I am not sure it is possble... 2. I did apply the rights to the AD users (Reviewer, Author, etc.) but it doesn't work. The Users with the "only" Read right can still modify, delete, etc., the adresses in the list. What are the Default and Anonymous (visible in the drop list when you set the rights) used for? Can I delete them or set them with None right? 3. To make the new List visible in Outlook, I need to go on each Outlook client and check the Show as an address book check-box in the Properties of the list. Not very convenient... I want to avoid to have to go on every computer... Help appreciated! Nicolas Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143314

    - Outlook 2003 can not connect to Exchange 2003 server through VPN Hi, We have a Exchange 2003 server running on windows 2000 server. Everything is working fine (Outlook client, OWA) for LAN. The server has two NIC, one connect to LAN, another one connect to firewall with different subnet. I can ping both NIC after I established VPN connection from outside internet, also can open OWA using both NIC ip address. I updated "hosts" file on remote computer for the exchange server name and ip address translation. But, When I setup exchange server in outlook 2003 on the remote computer, type in the exchange server name and user name(User account is already in the server), shows me: "The name could not be resolved, the name could not be matched to a name in the address list". How to troubleshot this problem, your advice will be appreciated. Jywu Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143295

    - Authenticated SMTP Hello everyone, I am having a few problems with authenticated SMTP, I cannot get my external users to send e-mails to external domains, to relay, I have ES 2003 installed on windows 2003 box with 1 x SMTP virtual server IP 192.168.0.14 , with 1 x network card and the external IP address of the mail server being redirected to the internal ES, external users can curently send e-mails to users from the domain but to external domains , 5.5.0 errors. What be most handy is a step by step guide to achieving this, without compromising our exchange seerver. I have no control over our firewall as it is hosted and managed by our ISP, I have checked and confirmed all ports for exchange are active. If I am to create a new virtual SMTP connection what IP address do I use ie. 192.168.0.15 and if so do I have to get the firewall admins to reopen redirection to this IP ? Thanking you Baz PS I have asked this question before but the answer was very vague Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143290

    - New domain name with new xch2003 from xch2000 A question: Currently we have the domain A.local with exchange 2000 (windows 2000 domain) I want to create the domain B.local with exchange 2003 and windows 2003 domain and migrate the old email from server A to server B. My question is - is this possible, while maintaining the integrity of the information store. I only have about 35 users so recreating the mailboxes and accounts for the new server isn't such a big deal but I want to make sure that I can move the email that is currently in the mail store to the new store without data loss and hopefully some confidence that I won't be losing my job come monday ;) . Our current mailstore is about 15 GB in size if it makes any difference. Any ideas, KB articles, or other references would be greatly appriciated Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143263

    - OWA 2003 front-end and 2000/2003 backend I presently have an exchange 2000 frontend server running on windows 2000in a administrative group. When I tried to deploy exchange 2003 frontend server I got an error saying that I will need to first upgrade the frontend server to exchange 2003. I will be upgrading that to OWA 2003. However, some of the exchange servers in my organization are 2000 and some are 2003. Once upgraded to OWA 2003, will both the accounts sitting on exchange 2000 and 2003 be available through OWA? I will also be deploying another front-end server, this time windows 2003/exchange 2003 and this will be used to support rpc-over-https on a clustered exchange 2003 back-end. I know that rpc-https will only be available to users having there exchange mailbox on the exchange 2003 system. However if an exchange 2000 user hits this box using owa, will they be redirected to the exchange 2000 server where their mailbox sit so they can retrieve mail via OWA on the second front-end server? Any thoughts or documentation links would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys and gals cao! Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143261

    - Exchange and MX configurations I am setting up Exchange 2003 (standard) on Windows 2003 (standard) behind a pix firewall. We have a toatal of 12 users that are using a combination of webmail and pop mail with 2 different ISPs. Two of those users have laptops and 3 users are at a remote location. Everyone retrieves email from one ISP and send through two depending on thier physical location. Are these the steps I need to take? 1. Open ports 25, 80, and 443 (inbound) and point them to the Exchange Server. 2. Move my MX record late Friday to point to my external ip address ( is this enough time to be ready to go by Monday?) 3. When mail begins to flow to Exchange, make one last run on the pop accounts for each workstation. 4. Export the inbox on each workstation to a .pst file, delete the profile. 5. Move users to Exchange - Tell mobile and remote users to use OWA 6. Import the .pst from each user into Exchange via Outlook. Once I take these steps, can I then begin to configure rpc over http?

    - Moving Exchange 5.5 to a new server I need to move an Exchange 5.5 installation from an old server to another; the old server is NT 4.0, the new one can be either NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. The Exchange server is the only one in the organization, it has no connectors and it isn't member of a cluster; the domain is NT 4.0 (no Active Directory). What is the best way to move it to the new hardware? - Installing NT 4.0 on the new server, making a full backup of the old server (after stopping Exchange services) and restoring it on the new one. - Installing NT 4.0 and Exchange 5.5 on the new server and moving the databases. - Installing Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5 on the new server and moving the databases. I'd like to install Windows 2000 on the new server, since NT is no longer supported and also the hardware of the new server is quite recent (possible driver problems using NT 4.0), but I don't know the proper way of installing Exchange 5.5 on Windows 2000 and then moving the contents of an existing installation; the same is true if the new server has a fresh Exchange installation on NT 4.0. Regarding the backup solution, I don't know if it could even work. Another issue: the new server needs to have the same name and IP address of the old one. Any suggestion about this? I'm quite good at Exchange 2000/2003 and AD administration, I also know NT quite well, but Exchange 5.5 is definitely not my favourite topic :-/ Thanks Massimo Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143242

    - Redirecting Issue.. Greetings, I am running IIS 6 (with Exchange 2003) and want to accomplish the following: Default web site should take users to a redirected website (I know how to setup redirect feature) but directories under the default should not redirect users to another site. So for instance, if default web site is installed as http://serverA, I want users to be redirected to http://serverB when they type http://serverA in the browser but if they type, http://serverA/Exchange, they should stay on serverA and not be redirected to serverB. I can get default web site to redirect to ServerB but the problem is that why I try to get to the directories under the same server, I am redirected to ServerB as well. When I made the changes for redirection (on default web site), it did ask me if child nodes (for instance, exchange, public, oma etc) should inherit (highlight and click ok option) the new settings but I did not highlight on any directories and just clicked OK (also tried clicking on cancel which should not be the case). The problem is that when I even try to manually go into the virtual directories and change configuration â??no redirect â?? A directory on this computer..â?? and click ok on it, it does not retain the settings. Am I missing anything here, any help in this regard would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Feddie Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143239

    - Adding a new Exchange Server to existing Exchange 2003 environment Hi; We have an existing exchange 2003 server, and I want to add an additional Exchange 2003 server, so I used one of the DC's to make it an additional exchange 2003, the 1st mistake that I made during the installation that I clicked on New Exchange 2003 environment instead of existing, so after I was done I removed exchange 2003 and SP2 and removed all of the registry keys based on MS article. Then I reinstalled exchange 2003 and selected adding a new exchange 2003 to existing environment then I applied SP2. Then I setup a connector between the 2 exchange server in order to send & receive between the users on these 2 servers, am I correct here? Now I am able to send and receive e-mails. But for some reason the users that are located on the new exchange server get the following error when they click on (send & receive): Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server" reported error (0x8004010F): 'the operation failed an object could not be found' Any idea why?

    - Exchange 2000 Information Store Corruption Hi, We had a hardware failure with our Exchange 2000 server. We managed to move the mailboxes over to another server using Move Mailbox wizard in ADUC. This all seemed to work fine, but we are now experiencing some problems trying to backup the new server using both Backup Exec and MS Backup. Is it possible that the data has become corrupted on the original server due to hardware and that corruption has been moved to the new server? Everyone seems to be using their outlook without problem, sending / receiveing mails, access to their mailboxes etc. We have about 30 mailboxes in total. Is there anyway I can pinpoint where the corruption exists, whether it is just one mailbox at fault, public folders, or whether it is the whole lot? What steps can I take to fix / recover the corruption?

Using an appliance to protect the network, we have to allow external users to access MS Exchange with POP3 and IMAP protocols as well as Outlook Web Access.. How to confgure port forwarding (which ports) to allow access to MS Exchange using those ports. I ma currently configurring my firewall for that and have some problems with the authentication. IMAP and OWA can not authenticate. OWA is installed on a Default Web server that lives on port 8088 and not on a default http port 80. We have to use it to allow direct SharePoint access. The port 8088 is open and forwarded to the exchange server. I always had to enter http://server.mydomain.loc:8088/exchange to get OWA inside. That same apporach does not work from the outside even the port is forwarded. Any suggestions on how to configure a firewall to allow access to POP3, IMAP and OWA if the exchange web lives on 8088. mlk Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143215

    - MS Exchange 2003 install/setup problems Hi, I installed MS Exchange server STD on top of a Windows 2003 STD SP2 server. The network is like this: firewall: Symantec 200R FW/VPN firewall outside interface: static IP firewall inside interface : private 192.1698.1.0/24 I have a domain mydomain.com that uses DNS hosting by directnic.com. All A, CNAME, MX records are OK. If I ping on A record I get the IP and the responce, CNAME returns proper FQDN name and the responce. If I use nslookup and set type=PTR and type in the IP of my outside interface, the repsonce is the DNS name of my modem from the ISP's DNS server (something.very.very.long.com) I used my internal DNS server first (on Win 2k3 SP2) without smart SMTP host. Almost all outgoing mail got rejected by the recepients. Then I used smart SMTP host (SMTP from my ISP), left the internal DNS on Win 2K3 SP2 and the problems suddenly dissapeared. I have to use internal DNS and the internal SMTP for my Exchange, it is a MUST. Any ideas what to do to send mail correctly ????? Found a few postings but none of them fixed the issue. Thank you in advance! Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143214

    - Insufficient DNS information found for <address@mydomain.com> Have a question: We have installed MS Exchange 2003 STD on an Intel server. Immediatelly I found out that some recepients would not get e-mail. The error message was( delivery confirmation): *************************** The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator. < bc-node0.vdn.ca #5.0.0 X-Spam-Firewall; host mx.webminders.com[66.165.106.125] said: 550 Insufficient DNS information found for <address@mydomain.com> (in reply to MAIL FROM command)> ************************************* We have DNS hosting with the directnic.com. All A, CNAMe and MX records are correct. Ping works fine. Pinging our mail server returns correct IP. The only thing I noticed was that nsloookup on PTR records returned my ISP`s modem A record, and not my domain name record. SMTP protocol is configurred OK. I use masquerade domain to my domain, DNS lookup on the domain name in the SMTP protocol configuration returns a positive answer. I also use smart SMTP host. All other recepients received mail correctly, except the domain above: webminders.com. Since some of my clients are hosted on those servers it is a major inconvenience. Please help me with some suggestions. I am exhausted !!! Thank you ! mlk Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143212

    - can send but not receive email from exchange i have a 2003r2 server with exchange 2003. I can send fine to outside the domain but not receive email from outside the domain. the server has 2 nics, one for internal dhcp and one for external access. it then goes to a modem that has port forwarding on it. I've allowed all ports to go to the server on the external nic. yet i can not access the default web site or get email. The mx and a records are correct .Is there somewhere that i need to open ports to allow access to the server from outside? It is not the firewall because it tells me that some other thing is controling one of the files so the windows firewall is disabled. I know there is somewhere that i need to create exceptions or changes so that i can open the right ports, but its just not cllicking as yet. it is also a new server but needs to go to production asap.

    - OWA Configuration My setup is Windows 2003 SP1 with Exchnage 2003 SP2. Exchnage works fine except for OWA. Clients are getting the "Loading.." message. I have tried all the steps in TechNet article 280823, but to no avail. Strangely on the Exchange server when I use OWA, placeolders are displayed in place of images, which suggests NTFS permissions, but they are consistent with the above article. I have tried everything under the sun, but am getting nowhere. Is there a definitive step by step guide to configuring OWA anywhere? I suspect a GPO may be causing an issue with rights and/or anonymous access but don't know hat to check. Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143205

    - POP3 Accounts and Exchange Hi all, I have 3 pop3 accounts (which I cannot administer), right now I'm using outlook to read/reply them, which is perfect for me, I can also choose from which account I want to reply.... But now, for backup purposes and movility (I'm using 2 computers and also other like cyber cafes...) I want to install exchange + OWA + POPCon in a server. I dont have a domain name and also I dont want to loose the posibility to choose from which account reply....How can I accomplish that? Is possible? What are your proposals?

    - 2 IP ranges use the same Exchange server My Exchange 2003 server has 2 NIC's in with 10.4.100 and 10.224.132 IP address My DNS server has 2 NIC's in in with 10.4.100 and 10.224.132 IP address We have all our machines on a single domain but some (ADMIN) have a 10.224.132 address and some (CURRICULUM) have 10.4.100 address. On my ADMIN machines outlook email is not working (and never has as new setup) it can't find exchange server. When I 'PING EMAILSERVER' from a machine with a 10.224 address it replies that the email server is 10.4.100 and times out. That is why email isn't working I suppose?! I know multihoming is bad, but what's the solution to allow both IP ranges use the same exchange server? Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143201

    - Mailbox Storage limits in Exchange 2003 Here is the scenario: I want to impose a 1GB mailbox limit to ~35 users on a newly upgraded Windows 2003 SBS Server with Exchange 2003 SP2. So in Exchange System Manager, I go to Exchange > Servers > SBSERVER > Mailboxes (SBSERVER) and get the properties. On the Limits tab, I put in: -Issue Warning at (KB): 900,000 -Prohibit send at (KB): 1,048,576 -Prohibit send and receive (KB): 1,150,000 Here is the twist: There are 7 users that are already well over the storage limits I set in Exchange System Manager. To resolve this issue, I go to each individual users profile in Active Directory and in Exchange General Tab > Storage Limits..., I uncheck the "Use mailbox store defaults" box. Here is the problem: Even though the "Use mailbox store defaults" box is unchecked for each of the 7 offending users, it still denies them access to send and recieve emails. Am I missing a step?

    - Exchange 5.5 masquerade domain Hello all I have inherited a Windows 2000 DC with Exchange 5.5 installed on top. When the server sends mail, it sends it as server.domain_name instead of server.FQDN.com and it gets rejected as syntax error. Is there a way to set a masquerade domain for this Exchange 5.5 server?

    - Exchange Migration questions Hello, I am currently running an Exchange 2000 server. It's also one of a couple domain controllers on a W2K3 domain. The server has been running flawlessly over the past 5 years. My boss has agreed to let me purchase a new dual processor server and Exchange 2003. Is there an easy way once I install this new server, to copy all the mailboxes over, etc? I have 70 mailboxes. Not a big deal if I have to recreate them all and restore from backup.

    - Can Exchange do what I want it to? (2/2) I have created some filtered lists of contacts in Outlook based on a custom field 'ogp_in_use' - this gives about 800 contacts. How can I print out this list - ideally into Excel for mail merging? If possible, can I link an Excel document to the database so it always has the most up-to-date information. I have had a look but cant seam to get to folders in the 'public folders' on the exchange server only local contacts lists. Help? Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143182

    - Can Exchange do what I want it to? (1/2) Hi all. Were looking to move our existing client database to something a bite more stable and functional and I would like to know; is Exchange/Outlook the answer? We have about 8'000 company's on our database at the moment, and about 30'000 contacts. At present the way they are displayed is like this: The top of the page shows the company information, the bottom shows contacts for that company. I have done a trial export of data - this comes out as 2 .csv files, one for company information one for contacts - and have imported that into my trial Exchange server. This results in a series of contact cards, not apparently linked. Let me try and explaine that a bit clearer with an example: In out current system: Company name: Jo Bloggs Inc, 1 Street Name, Town, County, TelNo Contact: Jo Bloggs, joe@bloggs.com, 09999 999999(tel) Contact Jane Bloggs, jane:bloggs.com 09999 999999(tel) 1999999999(mob) If I double click the contact Jane Bloggs, it populates the business fields from the company (such as main phone numbers, postal address etc...). If they change address, then I only need to change the company address once and the contacts pick up that change. In Outlook: There are 3 contacts, one with the company information only, and one each with the contacts. Each one has a full set of data but if I change the address in the 'main' company card, the contacts do not reflect this. Obviously for 2 contacts that's OK as I can manually update the details, but for companies with 10 or 20 contacts that could become troublesome. I can't imagine I am the only person with this need so I assume there must be a way around it. I would be grateful of a pointer in the right direction as so far I am at a bit of a loss. I do have a few more questions but will post them separately to prevent you falling asleep. Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143181

    - Unable to delete Exchange 5.5 server Hi, Two sites, one has just a 5.5 server, the other has our new Exchange 2003 environment and another 5.5 server (the original one). I am keeping (for the short term) the 5.5 server in the same site as exchange 2003, but want to remove the other 5.5 server in the remote site. I have run through the various kb's, but am still unable to delete the exch 5.5 server in the remote site from system manager (homed to any of the servers), the option to delete is greyed out. I have checked everything I can think of, any ideas? Thanks in advance, Fred Cooper. Tag: exchange 2k3 on windows server 2003 r2 Tag: 143180

especially interested in any hotfixes, etc. needed for this setup - would be
very nice if sbdy can post some good links.
