Global Catalog with Exchange - Microsoft Exchange

Global Catalog with Exchange - Microsoft Exchange

Global Catalog with Exchange

Posted: 17 Oct 2005 10:29 AM PDT

The Directory Access tab shows the two GC's, DC A and DC B. So, they are
there are detected by the system. The ability to add/remove servers are
greyed out, although if I switch to show "Global Catalog Servers", the
display does allow me to check/uncheck "Automatically discover servers"
(which it is checked already). Just for some reason, it looks to DC A for GC
services. Now, for my testing, I've just been literally "pulling the plug"
on DC A (removing cat-5 cable). What if I do an actual shutdown to DC A?
Will that send a signal to the other domain controllers that it is going
down, and that DC B should now take on the GC services for the domain. Or do
I have to demote the server to fully relinquish it from GC services?

thanks again for the help!

GFI Mail Essential

Posted: 16 Oct 2005 06:53 PM PDT

The options that it has are great and it will catch a huge amount of junk if
configured correctly. I suggest running it using the "SPAM" tag for a few
weeks and tell your users to forward any emails tagged as "SPAM" to you so
you can adjust the safe senders list or filtering. Also use the reports to
see what is going on. Once you have a good configrunning change the "SPAM"
to either delete if you feel real good about your config or drop all the
"SPAM" into a public folder and tell users if they are missing an email they
think should have been sent to check that folder (make sure to clean it out
once a month).

On average I have seen sites that said spam was not a problem show me with
GFI reports that the total amount of spam was actually as much as 50% of all
emails.

RPC/HTTPS config without being on domain or network

Posted: 15 Oct 2005 10:44 AM PDT

Certainly.

I did setup the profile using VPN in my home system where the system is
never part of my company domain and local network either. Once you are
able to resolve your mailbox with the server, disconnect the VPN and
then you are in RPC HTTP mode.

One note if you are setting up RPC HTTP in your company laptop -- Under
"Exchange proxy Settings", I cleared the check box for "On fast
networks, connect using HTTP first , then connect using TCP/IP" to
avoid your laptop using RPC HTTP mode when you are the office.

See couple of useful KB articles here -

Hope this helps.

Exmerge utility / Windows 2000 server / Exch 2000

Posted: 14 Oct 2005 02:44 PM PDT

I mean ExMerge from either version should work with Exchange 2000.

From the download page at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=429163EC-DCDF-47DC-96DA-1C12D67327D5&displaylang=en :

Note This version of Mailbox Merge should only be run from Exchange Server
2003 or from computers with the Exchange 2003 administrative tools loaded.
It ***can be run against Exchange 5.5, 2000, and 2003***.

Yes, select your current zones (Windows DNS) | New | Domain

Domain\Username - Outlook 2003 client

Posted: 14 Oct 2005 04:43 AM PDT

Well I believe it's allowing forms based authentication that takes that
feature of using domain\username out.

That is what we did.

In the exchange system manager, you navigate to Administrative Groups, First
Administrative group, select protocols, select HTTP. Right click Exchange
Virtual Server and select properties.

Then you select settings and check the box which says "Enable Forms Based
Authentication"

At least that is what we did on our Exchange 2003 server to get rid of the
need for the domain.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Jim.
Yes, it does. It says "Default Microsoft Exchane Server" and the status

how to convert badmail messages into good messages

The point being that Exchange didn't like it.
If you want to take the risk you can move the messages from the
BADMAIL directory and into the PICKUP directory.
I still don't think you should do it.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your response!

It happens just by sending email. But only sometimes!?!?!?!?
I did also find those articles about meeting requests but this is not our
case.

OWA zips files at the client end.

If you think you have C2C's MaX Compression software installed then it
is pretty simple to check.

Open Internet Explorer. Click on Tools-Internet options-General.
You should see a button in the center called "Settings"
Click on "Settings" then "View Objects"

If MaX Compression for OWA is installed you will see on ocx component
listed called "C2C MaX Compression/OWA Control".

If it is and you're having difficulties then drop a line to
"com".

Good luck. If they won't help you, try signing up for something like
www.dyndns.org 's MailHop Outbound. I do this a lot. It's worth it. 

They probably don't want you running a mail server on a residential account.
 

The internet was a friendlier place before, too.

OAB woes

Posted: 12 Oct 2005 04:31 AM PDT

In article <phx.gbl>,
spam.org says...
 


That's partly what I followed when I was originally setting this up -
everything apart from "using ADSIEdit, set the msExchUseOAB property for
each user to equal the distingushedName of the relevant Offline Address
Book" - because something else said that this only overides the
mailstore-level OAB setting, which already points to what should be the
correct address book, but is showing the wrong information.

Ah well.

es2003 or active directory on main server

Posted: 11 Oct 2005 11:36 PM PDT

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your advice this far.

My biggest problem is I do not have Winbdows 2003. I got the ok for
Exchange 2003 with 25 CALs which has just come through.
We had one NT4 server and three four windows 2000 servers. I have basically
been told to use what servers we have due to cost.

Therefore I need the current es5.5 upgraded to 2003 on the same server it is
on.

Original Network

Server1 - NT4 PDC - Dell dual p3 500Mhz
Server2 - Win 2000 Server with Exchange 5.5 - Dell dual Xeon 2Ghz
Server3 - Win 2000 Server - File server - Dell dual p3 500Mhz
Server4 - Win 2000 Server - Dell dual p3 700Mhz (Original Exchange before
last upgrade)
Server5 - Win 2000 Server - Dell 3Ghz

Done so far

I have installed NT4 on Server5 with service pack6 as BDC, then promoted to
PDC.
Upgraded Server5 to Windows 2000 Server global catalogue, new domain in new
forest.
Tested ADC install on Server5 which passed all tests ok but did not
complete.

Desired outcome

Server2 - Win 2000 Server - Exchange 2003, OWA - Dell dual Xeon 2Ghz
Server5 - Win 2000 Server as Active Directory PDC and global catalogue -
Dell 3Ghz

I see two options

Migrate to Exchange 2000 first onto Server5 and then migrate back to Server2
as exchange 2003

Or

Install Exchange Server 2003 on Server5 joining the existing Exchange 5.5
site and use the move mailbox method.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=822942

- You can perform an in-place upgrade from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003;
however, an in-place upgrade from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2003 is
not supported.

To upgrade from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003, you must join
an Exchange 2003 computer to the Exchange 5.5 site, and then move Exchange
resources such as mailboxes to the Exchange 2003 computer. Use the Exchange
Server Deployment Tools to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003.
Although Exchange 2000 did support in-place upgrades from Exchange 5.5,
moving the resources from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 is still the
recommended upgrade path.


I would prefer not to do an in place upgrade,

1 - the drive us partitioned too many times and I want to reformat first
2 - dont really trust the roll back options if anything goes wrong

I have done a lot of readin and there are numerous options. If you could
help advise which route is the best I am sure I will be fine fomr there.

Thanks again.
Jess

that is not an option

basiacally waht we have is 120 totally seperate domains that are really
seperate companies - they have to use nt due to app dependencies

there mail is hosted on a central site - this is AD - 2003 with exchange 2003

they need to be able to open outlook without user prompt - ie pass the
password through
i assume this means lower some security on the central AD domain - i know
this is incorrect but that is what is dictated .
any changes to remote places is not an option

Mail missing from SMTP queue

Posted: 10 Oct 2005 11:47 PM PDT

I was wondering. I know we can track the message by message tracking center,
but then I was thinking, if the message was sent from the client to the
server and the server didn't received it, or it just past through the server
without going into the SMTP queue. How do we track it ?
