Changing Computername - Exchange 5.5 side effects?

Posted: 04 May 2004 07:51 AM PDT

Yikes!

If you rename an Exchange 5.5 Server then you will find that the
msexchangeds service will fail to start afer its rebooted. This is because
the dir.edb (the directory) has the SID for that computer account hard
coded into it. So if you rename the computer you will get a new SID and as
a result the Directory Service won't start. There is know way to get the
directory service to start unless you rename the computer back to its
original name.

The easiest way to do what you want to do is to install a new server into
the same site as the existing server (with the new name that you need to
implement) and then move mailboxes over to this server. At a later stage
you can then rehome any public folders,system folders, & connectors to this
new server and then decommission the old server.

Hi!

We are planning to change the computername on one of ours Exchange 5.5
servers. How will Exchange react to this and what should we do to fix the
side effects?
We have to do this since the customer has naming convetntions that has to
be followed.

Cheers!

Exch. 5.5 to Exch. 2003 question

Posted: 03 May 2004 01:41 PM PDT

It is highly not recommended to perform in-place upgrade from E55 to E2K
and then to E2K3. Better borrow hardware, introduce second E55 server,
move mailboxes there, properly decommission original machine, install
W2K3 and E2K3 on that hardware, move mailboxes, decommission
intermidiate E55 and be done with it.

Transaction log buildup

I really don't think it is a virus causing the transaction
logs to buildup.

The problem began when the backup software and some compaq
management agents were installed on the server.

Ex2K OWA access help...

Posted: 02 May 2004 11:02 PM PDT

If the problem is only effecting users in specific OU's then its possible
that the Exchange Enterprise Servers does not have permissions set on these
OU's and hence the Recipient Update Service cannot stamp the users located
in those OU's.

Run through http://support.microsoft.com/?id=297124 to see if this is the
problem.

I've narrowed my problem down a bit more.
So I am still unable to get new users to connect to Exchange 2000 OWA,
however I believe the problem may be related to the users location in Users
and groups, please read on.

Here's the scenario.
Users that are created under the default AD USERS container are able to
connect to OWA just fine.
However I've created several other containers for organisation called...
C1
C2
C3
any users that I create in here are unable to connect to OWA.

I guess the question is what would be the difference between a user with
Domain\User rights, created in the default USERs container and a new
Container?

Any help greatly appreciated.
T.
