Create Contacts with Batch File

Posted: 31 Jul 2006 01:35 PM PDT

Hello Brian,

Thank you for posting.

Our recommended way is:
Using CSVDE to create mail-enabled contacts in batches.

1. Create a text file, input your contacts by following this format:

********************
DN,objectClass,targetAddress,mailNickname,mail
¡°CN=Ellen,OU=Marketing,DC=Contoso,DC=local¡±
,contact,SMTP:com,Ellen,com
¡°CN=Mike,OU=Marketing,DC=Contoso,DC=local¡±
,contact,SMTP:com,Mike,com
********************
(You must create OU before you run this command.)

2. Rename this xx.txt file to xx.csv.

3. Run the following command in command prompt:

csvde -i -f c:\xx.csv

4. Manually run all the Recipient Update Services.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
John Chen, MCSE, MCSA, MCDBA, MCSD

Email Attachment Names/Contents Swapping

Posted: 31 Jul 2006 07:39 AM PDT

Joe and Mary may, or may not, be on same exchange server. We have three
exchange servers (all housed in the same data center) that hold email
accounts for users at several geographically separate locations. But, we have
seen the swapping occur both on emails sent between users on same server at
same site and on emails sent between users on different servers and at
different sites.

File types - we have seen swapping occur across several different file types
- .doc, .xls, even a .jpg file - one user had a .xls file get swapped with
..jpg file - in this case, neither file would open because it now had the
wrong file association for the contents of the file. When we renamed the
image file from .xls back to .jpg, it then opened fine. In the case where it
was two files of the same extension such as t he two .doc files, they opened
fine but the contents were swapped.

I have had them try to save the file to the harddrive and open from there
but that did not help. I think it is important to note that the attachments
are swapped not only for the recipient but also the sender. If we have the
sender (or forwarder) pull up the email from their sent items, the
attachments are swapped there as well so it looks to me like the swapping is
occuring server-side instead of client-side.

Cant send mail to one specific domain

Send just one domain to Smarthost

Posted: 31 Jul 2006 01:58 AM PDT

That could be it then. Using Telnet to submit an email to them I got the following error report:

No PTR but got:
x.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN CNAME x.x-x.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa.

Which I think (note the range specification in the CNAME?) proves your idea that the IP is from a known pool. This overrides my PTR record(?) so does not count and a legitimate reverse lookup.

I've submitted a support ticket to my ISP - let's see what they can do. In the meantime I suppose my only option is the second SMTP Connector suggested by Jim above.

Thanks for your advice.

Ben.

Enabling true "Send As"

Posted: 28 Jul 2006 08:57 AM PDT

Just to be sure this is clear, Send As is not granted on the mailbox, i.e.,
"Mailbox Rights", but in the Security tab of the user object.

the AD account to switch back to no forwarding.

One OWA user gets "You are not authorized to view this page"

Posted: 28 Jul 2006 02:47 AM PDT

Thank you, Lee!

The user had the right domain but as "firstname.lastname@domain". His alias
was only his first name so I added the address "firstname@domain" and now he
can log in.

Exchange and Linux configuration

Posted: 27 Jul 2006 02:32 AM PDT

Kind of a sticky configuration. You can certainly share SMTP address spaces
between two systems and I know of a number of organizations that do this.
However, you may find as you move those first 100 users over to Exchange
that the other users magically start needing Exchange functions, too. Your
big costs are going to be the server hardware, setup, and management. 300
additional Client Access Licenses for Exchange may be a small factor when
compared with the hassle of running two systems and getting the
interoperability running smoothly. Just something to consider. If the
additional 300 users don't need Outlook functionality (just POP3 or IMAP4),
you could always let them keep their existing clients but use Exchange for
POP3 or IMAP4. Heck, though, the web interface for E2K3 is very good.

Just something to think about. I'm lazy, so I always try to keep things as
simple as possible while providing the user the best possible messaging
solution.

Mailbox Size reported as 0 KB in ESM

Posted: 26 Jul 2006 01:04 PM PDT

I haven't seen this happen in Exchange System Manager, but I can tell you
that using CDO to obtain a mailbox size, when it goes over 2GB it shows as a
negative number.

Hi,

When you install exchange with the /disasterrecovery switch there will be no
log files created (till you mount the databases).

Exchange Activesync Requirements

Posted: 24 Jul 2006 07:34 AM PDT

Actually we have about 40 Windows 95 scattered as well. I have seen some
documents that haven't even mentioned mixed/native mode and that is why I am
wondering. We would like to have this be a front-burner project if this
isn't a requirement but I really haven't been able to get a straight answer
out of anyone.
