    - BCC + Read Receipts Hi, Where a user has been included in an email under the BCC field, is it a known issue with Exchange 2003 to not deliver these emails to the correct user but delivers it to the 'specify mailbox for undeliverable pop3 emails' as set in exchange 2003? I've tested this one 3 servers I deal with and all emails where a usr is as a BCC always goes to the undeliverable mailbox. Also, Read Receipts. What could cause these to also always go the the undeliverable mailbox instead of the user they are intended for? Thanks Chris Tag: installation Tag: 145846

    - questions on partitions for exchange Hi, We are in the process of setting up a new Exchange 2003. Highly appreciate if someone can provide us with some advice on the following issues: 1. Only going to be two Storage Groups, questions are: For DB files, going to use RAID 0+1, for Log files, going to use RAID 1. Total 13 physical drives in a HP MSA 30 enclosure Senario 1: for SG1 - two drives will be mirrored into RAID 1 and partitioned into E drive for log file, and 4 drives will be RAID 0+1 and partitioned into F drive for DB files for SG 2 - two drives will be mirrored into RAID 1 and partitioned into G drive for log file, and 4 drives will be RAID 0+1 and partitioned into H drive for DB files And the last drive will be a hot spare Senario 2: - For SG1's Log file: two drives will be mirrored into RAID 1 and partitioned into E drive for log file, - For SG2's Log file - two drives will be mirrored into RAID 1 and partitioned into G drive for log file, - For DB files in SG1 and SG2: set up all 8 drives into ONE RAID 0+1, and partition it into F and H drives, F for SG1's DB files, and H for SG2's DB files And the last drive will be a hot spare In summary, senario 1 has two RAID 0+1 groups, one for each partition which is for each SG's DB files, whereas Senario2 has one RAID 0+1 which is partitioned into two partitions - one for each SG's DB files. Is there any difference in terms of performance between these two setups? Or in reality, there is no difference or not worth considering the difference? 2. The paper named "optimizing Storeage for Exchange 2003 Server" talked a lot about set up one partition for SG DB files, one for Log file, one for SMTP queues.... And Content Indexing is also mentioned. But do we really need to put Content Indexing into its own Partition, say, I drive which is a RAID 1. If we do not need do this, where do we put Content Indexing? Put it in the partition where SMTP resides, or the partition where Exchange binary resides? These are the burning questions we have, please advise. Thank you so much. Lenny Tag: installation Tag: 145845

    - Install Exchange 2003 server in 2003 Domain Can someone point me in the direction of a good 'How to' for the following. I am going to install a new Windows 2003 server as a DC and want to put a separate Exchange 2003 server on the network. Users will authenticate through AD on the DC and be able to access OWA, OMA, Exchange and POP via the separtate Exchange 2003 server. This will be for around 150 users if that makes any difference. They already have an existing 2000 DC with Exchange 2000 on it but I am not migrating any of this data as there are issues that I don't want to come across. This has to be a totally clean and new install and has to go perfectly. I have been given the timescale of 48 hours to accomplish this and need to make sure I know and understand EXACTLY what I am doing. Tag: installation Tag: 145844

    - Exchange usage on Child domian HI, I have a domain with exchange 2003 named west.tcg.com We have a new office where I created a child domian called doral.west.tcg.com. I need the users on the child domain to have email on the exhcnage server in the main domain. When I create the user on the child domain server, it gives me all the options for exchange tasks to create a mail box. But when I check the email addresses tab, no emails show up. If I do it manually, for some reason it seems that the child domain is not creating the mailboxes on the exchange server. I created a child domain to seperate the branches, but they need to use the same exchange server and email addressing. Please advise on how to correct this, or if creating the child domains was a bad idea?? Thanks Tag: installation Tag: 145839

    - Duplicate default public folder instances. Background: - Migrating E2K site to E2K3. - Changed existing E2K-FE to a BE to start the migration. - Successfully built an initial E2K3-BE, itâ??s idling just fine in site. - Successfully built second E2K3 machine. o Let machine idle in site for a couple of days (allowing nightly maintenance to take place). o Then converted the machine to the new site FE, but did not point anyone at it. o Following good practice I dismounted and deleted the Public Store on that server before putting it into production. During this procedure wizard ask me to pick a machine to home existing public folder instances on. Since I had not replicated any site instances at this point, I picked the first E2K3 machine I had built assuming that the default instances would be the same. o Finally I pointed all site cnames at the new FE machine. OWA and POP3 functioning correctly off new site FE server. Issue: - Iâ??m now continuing with the original initial E2K3-BE server getting it ready for a mailbox move migration. - Iâ??m at the step when Iâ??m ready to migrate (replicate) site specific public folders to the machine and I notice that the following default instances now have DUPLICATES. o GlobalEvents o Internal o OWAscratch o StoreEvents Question: - Is this a problemâ?¦., if so how do I fix it? o Can I just delete these duplicate instances? - If so how? o Should I dismount and delete the public folder store on that server? - Will doing so populate new single default instances when I add a new public folder store back. - But what should I do this time if asked where to copy the existing instances? o Do I need to de-install (delete) this server and build it again? - Remember this is the first E2K3 server introduced into the site (if that matters). I hope not, seems like a lot of work wasted. -- Bill Tag: installation Tag: 145838

    - SMTP Virtual Server Email address Issues I'm sure I'm missing something simple on the one but here's the situation. Our intranet server is sending email via SMTP through the Exchange servesr to users. When I point the SMTP to relay through an old Exchange 2000 machine the "from" address shows up as an Exchange type email address (Lastname, Firstname), when I point the SMTP to relay through the Exchange 2003 machine the "from" address is showing up as a SMTP email address (1stnameLastname@company.com). As far as I can tell both of the SMTP Virtual Servers are set up the same. I've tried this from different SMTP servers and through telnet with the same result. I've also tried it with different "from" addresses with the same results. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks Tag: installation Tag: 145828

    - Exchange 5.5 data converted to Exchange 2003 I am running into an issue where I need to convert Exchange 5.5 backed-up data into Exchange 2003. I have run through everything on the Windows site, and can only find that you need an exchange 5.5 server up and running to convert exchange 5.5 data to exchange 2003. What I need to convert is all Exchange data/emails/public folders. My reason for this is to basicly utilize the current data on hard drives to convert to 2003, but the real world reason would be data was corrupted/lost on Exchange 2003 and someone would still have the Exchange 5.5 data.

    - Notes 6.5.3 to Exchange 2k3 mail migration. Hello All, Our company will be moving to Exchange 2k3 later this year. Sadly however, this operation will be performed by a portion of the company that seems to not care too mauch about our operations here in North America. As a result, I've been asked to perform a 'test' migration to get a feel for what will be happening and have a better handle on things should the implementation go wrong. I'm an Access admin so my Exchange and Notes mail experience is limited to personal use of the two different systems. I've managed to build a test server with Exchange on it so that I can try a mini-migration. At this point though I have no idea what to do next. Looking for some REALLY basic help or maybe a pointer to a checklist or walkthrough I can follow. Here's what's setup so far: Server setup running 2k3 Enterprise edition. [SP1 applied.] Made it a PDC for a fake domain 'testexchange001realdomainname.com'. [Our network is currently Novell with no AD setup. We will have AD later on but only for the sake of running the Exchange server.] Server is attached to our internal network. The server is running its own DNS to support the fake domain. Exchange 2k3 SP2 evaluation edition installed on server. [Nothing configured yet because I don't know what I'm doing. :)] What I want to accomplish: Test mail migration from Notes 6.5.3 server to the Exchange server. [Without disrupting the operation of the current mail system, I'd like to keep my job. :)] Not concerned with trying to migrate all the mailboxes, maybe just mine to start with. [If I have a process that works for one mail account then I see no need to test the other 158.] Remember, I'm a DB guy. Go easy on me as I have no experience with mail adminisrtation. Any help graciously accepted. Bill K. Tag: installation Tag: 145809

    - Exchange 5.5 to 2k3 Currently have a new 2k3AD domain in interim mode (1 2k3DC and 1 NT4BDC). The BDC has 5.5 on it. Our Domain is totally separate from the other entities in our Exchange environment, we connect to HQ via an X.400 connector for GAL replication etc. Have run the 2k3 Deployment tools up to the point of the ADC Resource Mailbox wizard (all OK so far). The mailbox wizard sees the thousands of other mailboxes in the exchange organisation globally and running the wizard gives the expected "the data collection tool found objects that must be marked as resource mailboxes etc etc" An associated error flags up "A security identifier for the associated windows NT account of a mailbox could not be found etc etc" presumably meaning all the mailbox resources globally which are not part of our domain. Waiting for a couple of days I ran the verify of step 3 and get the same SID error. I assume that this is because I have no control over marking those mailboxes as resource mailboxes as they are in domains I have no control over? How do I proceed from here?

    - Building 2003 test domain issues Here's what I'm trying to do.... (test my 2003 upgrade based on a model of our domain) Have taken 2 servers promoted them to DCs (both global catalogs), in a domain with 12 other DCs. They replicated & participated as part of the domain fine, for about 2-3 weeks. I took them off the domain, and they are now only connected to a switch, and only see each other. I went into ADSI and erased all other DCs. I can manually replicated AD from one to the other, through AD Sites & Services. However, I am still getting errors in my Event Logs: DC2 EventId 1000 Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. Return value [1355]. DC1 EventId 13566 File Replication Service is scanning the data in the system volume. Computer DC1 cannot become a domain controller until the process is complete. The system volume will then be shared as SYSVOL. I've waited (since it suggests a process needs to complete), I've waited days.....and no change. Both servers have a (once good) copy of AD, and DNS; both are global catalogs and domain controllers. (AD test, I can login with two different AD accounts....??) Has anyone else been down this road?

    - Permissions Hi I'm currently on a client site migrating from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 The Domain is Mixed Mode. I've run Exdeploy - DSScopeScan and Orgname check however when checking the logs there are a number of enteries "Warning: Either you do not have permission to view hidden objects in the Exchange 5.5 directory, or the directory is not Exchange 5.5 SP1 or later. Returned information may be inaccurate." When seeing these I noticed the account I was using was the built-in administrators account and this did not have any permissions on the Exchange 5.5 org. To correct it, I logged into the Exchange server and added the built-in Administrator account to the Exchange 5.5 organisation permissions. Within a few minutes of doing this all users including domain admins could not view the GAL or send any emails. Can anyone offer any ideas as to why? Many thanks. Rob Tag: installation Tag: 145793

    - Exchange Server Migration/Decommission 2000 - 2003 Kevin and Ace answered for my prior questions in reqard to this in DNS group, but I am posting it now in Exchange Newsgroup. We are having problems after I shutdown the old mail servers (I did remove the replication of public folders and system folders in my old mail server). The only thing, I did not do is, to uninstall Exchange on the first mail server. I shutdown the server, since I wanted to test and see that it does not have problems. But, before that, I would like to give additional information on our current situation. We have 2 mail servers 1 for staff and 1 for students. They are as MAIL1 and MAIL2, let us say. The new mail server is MAIL3 where the staff mailbox has been moved to (MAIL1 to MAIL3) including all the public folders. MAIL3 is the Master server now. The issue is when a new user is registered, and since the desktop is already pointing to MAIL1 (in Outlook profile) and am not sure how MAIL2 is resolving to MAIL1 also (do not know exactly where the settings are in place in Exchange). The desktop concern is , can it be changed on the Exchange server side so that, even though the desktop is pointing to MAIL1, that the server can handle this by redirecting it to MAIL3. I hope, I am trying to be clear in what I am trying to say. Is there a way that I could do some changes on the Exchange Server 2003 (MAIL3) server side, that irrelevant of what the desktop image is pointing to, that new users will automatically get re-directed to the new mail server MAIL3. 2. Also, I noticed that after I shutdown the old mail server (MAIL1), there was one user as of now who complained that she could not access the calendar and it was looking for the information store. But, once, I turned the server back ON, it was functioning. So, did I miss something that I did not move or remove replication that was pointing to the old mail server MAIL1, that this issue is coming up on the calendar side? thanks and I appreciate your help.

I've done it before with Hostrocket and it worked from the outset, so I never had a reason to ask if it should not work. In the present case Earthlink is the domain host, and it seems that they can't get the MX record to point to the office server properly. I simply asked them to change the MX record, and they did it this way at first, company.com. MX 10 mail.company.com. mail.company.com. IN CNAME dyndnsdomain.com. which I now know to be wrong, but I assumed they knew how to do it. But if the right way is with an A Record, then doesn't that require a static IP? -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. Tag: installation Tag: 145739

    - Book and/or paid support recommendations In a couple of weeks, replacing our ISP-provided email with an Exchange Server running on SBS 2003 Premium will move to the top of my list. I have some experience and expertise in a Novell environment but little in Windows networking, enough, however, that I have our SBS box running and about half our users are members of the domain and login regularly. I've dealt with the basics of groups, permissions, and the like. I need to make the switch from ISP-provided email to in-house email relatively painlessly - my SBS box lives behind a Novell firewall but has a NATted public address which I will be giving to the ISP at the time we're ready to make the switch. Recommendations for books to guide me through this process, and/or paid support recommendations, and/or just a name and phone number of a consultant who does this sort of thing - all appreciated. I take advantage of Novell experts for hire when I need them and have no problem doing the same in a Windows environment as well. I am looking for top-level people, e.g., authors who have written books on this subject who also do consulting work. Thanks in advance. -S- Tag: installation Tag: 145722

For this user amount what would be an appropriate upload speed. He does not have problems spending money on a faster cable connection (can get up to 1 meg up, but doesn't want to spend excess money). Will 768k with dynamic DNS to compensate for the cables DHCP leases be adequate? Thanks Tag: installation Tag: 145715

    - Event Id 9685 Applied SP2, why are we getting these entries in the Application Log? SP2 for the Standard Edition should get you 75gb, correct? Exchange store 'First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (TESTEXCHANGE)': The current physical size of this database (the .edb file and the .stm file) is 31 GB. This database has exceeded the size limit of 18 GB. However, the logical free space in this database has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, it is possible that this database contains enough free space to bring its logical size below the maximum size limit. If the logical database size exceeds the maximum size limit, it will be dismounted on a regular basis. Tag: installation Tag: 145701

    - Missing System folders on exchange 2000 - migration Hi We are doing a migration of exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003 into a single site org. The client is not using public folders on the exchange 2000 server, when i check it in order to pre check the "removing exchange 2000 server from site" document, i noticed that the public folders within system manager was empty, even with "view system folders" selected. My question is this, can i still follow the "How to remove the first exchange 2000 server computer from the site" article:307917. and still complete a successful removal. Will i be subject to any issues. Regards Ray Tag: installation Tag: 145699

    - Migrating AD and Exchange 2k3 I am looking for some guidelines to seprate AD and Exchange from our parent company. The current setup is that our domain is under our parent company and our exchange server 2k3 is in their exchange organization. We are completely separating from their network to form our own structure. My question is how can I separate our domain abc.ca and the exchange server from their AD forest? Thanks Vel Tag: installation Tag: 145694

    - OWA not working after install Migrating from 5.5 and I have only done this in a test lab but it went fine there. But after the install, OWA page (locally on server) returns the Under Construction page at http://server and the 404 page at http://server/exchange. The tests I did all went flawlessly but this one has me stumped. Otherwise, the new server is working ok. Any suggestions are appreciated. Tag: installation Tag: 145691

    - Upgrade NT4.0 w/5.5 to 2003 Hello, I have an NT4.0 domain, 1 server - PDC with exchange 5.5 - server A, 1 server - BDC with exchange 5.5 - server B. The BDC will be moved to my location for the project but lives in the next state, connects via point to point I have new hardware ready to go and bring the domain up to 2003. I have reviewed lots of the postings and just want to verify info. So...please advise and correct as necessary, I do not want this to generate a resume. 1. install NT 4.0 on new server, join domain and install as a BDC, (I have forgotten how to do this, last time was years ago). 2. promote to PDC - or transfer, again I have forgotten how to do this. At this point I shoud have the AD at 2003 mixed mode? What should I check, etc... 3. have a 2003 server join the domain, run forest and domain prep, install exchange 2003 on this new member server. 4. migrate/transfer the mailboxes from the bdc that was the pdc (server A) to the new exchange server. 5. for the bdc that lives in the other state (server B), should I make a 2003 domain controller and install exchange, then transfer mailboxes from server B? I am concerned that if this replacement server is not a DC and running exchange, if the link goes down users at the remote site will not be able to log in and get email. 6. unplug existing NT 4 BDC/exchange boxes and see how they work Additional Questions: 1. The domain is called XYZ, however the email addresses are XYZInc.com. When I upgrade the domain I would like to call it XYZ.local. How/when in the Exchange 5.5 upgrade do I force it to use XYZInc.com for the email address? Also, what about the user login? If I name my domain XYZ.local, won't users have to type in username@XYZ.local to log in? Is there a way to force it to use username@XYZlocal.com without naming the domain that? 2. How will the security for passwords transfer over? I currently do not have complex requirements, so how does AD work if you upgrade to 2003? Will I have to set complex requirements or are they default? I assume user accounts get upgraded, and you deal complex password requirements after the upgrade? 3. The exchange 5.5 store is just about at the size limit, will moving mailboxes cause me any grief? 4. How do I deal with the exchange server renaming? Is it easier just to have users attach to the new server through mail setup? Any scripts or logon bats to help here? 5. Will hidden mail boxes give me problems? 6. Do the Outlook users that currently connect to the 5.5 server have an OST type file, and will changing servers do anything to this? I have some remote users that VPN into the corp, I am concerned about massive traffic over slow links. Thanks - Wayne Tag: installation Tag: 145690

    - Disaster Recovery Soon we are going to install an Exchange 2003 server on our LAN, but first I have some questions about DR preperation. Are there reliable outsourced Exchange servers just for the sake of remaining synchronized in case of emergency? Or should this be a service that we run ourselves at another location (maybe colocated?) steve Tag: installation Tag: 145686

    - Client vs Server storage I'm installing an Exchange 2003 server soon and was just wondering what the MVPs and other knowledgables thought about POP3 vs SMTP. This will be a local network (for about 20 clients) plus internet email server. My thoughts are that POP3 is good in that it doesn't lock up Outlook if the Exchange server is down, but that SMTP is better for centralized data storage and backup. Is the network traffic with SMTP signifigantly greater? What kind of priorities do companies generally prefer? steve Tag: installation Tag: 145677

hi folks,
the account who installs the first exchange 2003 server in the domain must
be a Domain Admins account?

Yes.

If you haven't already looked at

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/guides/Ex2k3DepGuide/a3318f57-3536-4e65-9309-9300cda23c73.mspx?mfr=true

you should. It will explain the permissions necessary to run forestprep and
domainprep before installing exchange.

i know permissions for running forestprep and domainprep.
if u look at the required permissions or roles for the procedure "Install
Exchange Server 2003 on the first server in a domain" - the permissions are
Exchange Full Administrator role applied at the organization level +
Local Machine
Administrator
but with local machine administrator i cannot install exchange, i must use a
local machine admin that is also domain administrator.
