because of he spam. How can i turn this off in exchange?

Thanks for you help

This seems to happen when the av database is being updated then panics and
quarantines everything. There seems to be no other way of doing this which
is poor on Mcafee's part

But please don't do this unless absolutley essential.
The reason I asked about the Operating System was picked up by Andy
who answered with the solution that would clear the log files out
without any intervention. Magik posts a valid solution but not one you
will probably need to worry about, so long as you have enough disk
space on your network to store a couple of backups until the tape gets
fixed/replaced.

Attachment issues

Posted: 24 May 2005 10:57 PM PDT

Yes they are, however most of hte phone calls I am receiving are from Outlook
users. we have tried changing the mail formats per MS documentation with no
change.

It looks like there is a corrupted mailbox store on one of the servers. We
created a test account and moded it between stores, on one it was unable to
sen attachemnts and recevied attachements came as WINMAIL.DAT. After moving
to a different store (defined on the same disks as the original) we were able
to send/receive attachments without error.

Obtaining E2003 hotfix per KB #867446

Posted: 24 May 2005 06:38 AM PDT

I appreciate the reply. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of placing
the call using a corporate credit card, and I am reluctant to use my personal
card for this purpose. It seems that unless I'm willing to do that, there's
no way for me to get the hotfix.

How to Setup and Use Shared Contacts

Posted: 23 May 2005 04:16 PM PDT

Dear Mark:

What I need is a dummy's guide that answers the following questions:

How do I set up Exchange Server (the Outlook parts like calendars,
mailboxes, contacts, tasks, etc.) for client users?
How do I set up clients to access their folders in the Exchange Server?

I am venting here with regard to MS documentation. Yes, there are hundreds
of pages of documentation for Exchange Server. I have searched every manual
and cannot even find the text string "shared contacts" or "contacts" for that
matter. I have found this to be the case for every server product. The
documentation is overwhelming and quite unhelpful if one wishes to setup the
basics. I wish there was a wizard that would guide me through setting up the
Exchange Server (user accounts and all), as well as a wizard on the client
side that would connect me to whatever was setup by the server wizard.

Any suggestions?

Permissions to Create Exchange Account

Posted: 23 May 2005 12:32 PM PDT

Realistically you can't stop them.

From an official MS standpoint, they will require Exchange View access over the
exchange service branch in the configuration container. If you don't let them
have that access they will not be able to use the GUI nor CDOEXM to create
mailbox enabled accounts.

The reality of the situation though is that you only really need write access to
two attributes on a user object to mailbox enable it. Mailnickname and one of
the following - homeMDB, homeMTA, or msExchHomeServerName.

Assuming the admins will only try to use MS Approved mailbox create methods,
they can be stopped with the Exchange View Access not being present for them.
But if they find some other mechanism, say even this post, they can side step
your protection.

Problem with bouncing forwarded emails

Posted: 23 May 2005 08:08 AM PDT

Thanx Mailman.

I am glad we already did that.
Even although there were only three people who kept bouncing their forwards
because an ISP had put us on a blacklist (which they normally use privately
for their own network) we didn't have too many problems.
Only that we could not reach some other domains, since the ISP was hosting
mail for at least 6 big maildomains here in Holland.

But thank you for replying.
At least it confirms what I was fearing... There is no ready made solution.

Full Text Index guidelines

Posted: 20 May 2005 07:40 AM PDT

What do you mean when you say "incremental crawls not finishing"? Also,
what client side performance hits are you seeing? RPC Latencies?

Here are two additional options:

1.) Lower the "system resource usage" for Full-Text Indexing
Open ESM, drill down to the Exchange server with Full-Text
Indices on them, access the properties of the server object, click on the
"Full-Text Indexing" tab, and then change the resource usage from "low" to
"minimum". Making this change may force MSSearch to back off more
aggressively when the Exchange server is under load. However, making this
change may/will significantly lengthen the amount of time needed to complete
an Incremental Population.

2.) Modify the Incremental Population schedules
If you have multiple MDB's each with a Full-Text Index, I have
found it better to limit the number of Full-Text Indexes doing simultaneous
Incremental Populations. By carefully scheduling when the Incremental
Populations occur, you can help reduce the amount of extra load placed on
the server caused by Full-Text Indexing as well as allow MSSearch to operate
on a few Indices simultaneously instead of all of them. Here is an example
of what I am getting at:

a.) I have an Exchange Server with four Stores and each of them has
a Full-Text Index: Mailbox Store 1, Mailbox Store 2, Mailbox Store 3, and
Mailbox Store 4
b.) Instead of scheduling the incremental population to run every
hour, I would set them up to index every other hour so that only two of the
four indexes are updating at a time.
Mailbox Store 1 and Mailbox Store 2: 12:00 AM, 2:00 AM, 4:00
AM, ...
Mailbox Store 3 and Mailbox Store 4: 1:00 AM, 3:00 AM, 5:00
AM, ...
c.) The catch here is that you will need to watch these indexes for
a couple of days to ensure that indices can finish their incremental
population within the given hour. If not, then you may need to modify the
schedule to give the indices more time to complete. On the other hand, if
the indices complete their Incremental Population within 30 minutes, for
example, then you could tighten the schedule.
d.) Due to the nature of Full-Text Indexing in Exchange 2000/2003,
the longer the time period between successive Incremental Populations means
the more changes that the index will not have. For example, if the Index
for my mailbox store runs an Incremental Population at 8:00 AM and then
again at 11:00 AM and I get a new email at 8:30 AM which does not get
indexed by the 8:00 AM Incremental Population; that message will not get
indexed until the 11:00 AM Incremental Population runs. Therefore, even
though I can see the new email, any query against the Full-Text Index before
the 11:00 AM Incremental Population will not return the new message that I
received at 8:30 AM.
