public folder replication and mta failure (on a cluster)

Posted: 26 Aug 2006 05:38 PM PDT

I have removed the folders from having this server as a replica. There are
around 20 exchange servers (all exchange 2003 sp1), with 5 or 6 with public
folder stores.
This folder shows a couple hundred folders in the pf instances on this
server but thought it would be removed since it no longer has a replica but
that hasn't happened.
However, in the public folders of this store, a few still show. if i try to
look at the properties it says the folder was removed and to refresh the
list. i do that and it still shows (even over 24 hour later).
Wondered if since it knows it no longer configured to replicate anything if
it now would allow us to uninstall ?
Used ESM in combination with pfdavadmin to remove the replicas.
Since it isn't 5.5, i won't worry about trying get mta back online.

50,000 per day is a mere 35 per minute, hardly exercising a basic

Have a look at the webcast:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/events/exchange2003/exc-06.mspx
just one of an enormous number of google results using the words
Exchange, Performance and SMTP.

I'd certainly look at outsourcing this because one false move and the
server would be on a Blacklist as soon as you can say WTF!! There's
also the issue of bandwidth. If your customer wants to maintain a
reliable output and do their normal business then you would probably
want to give it to some online marketing operation to do for you.

Where is the public folder

No, this is the first exchange server in the organization. We are using an
smtp/pop3 mail server from our ISP.

Invalid Email Addresses

Posted: 22 Aug 2006 10:33 AM PDT

Ok. Thanks for getting up and looking that up for me :^) What I am seeing
is that it is fine. It is set to my account. The notifications are not
even set. How in the world can email be getting delievered if there is no
actual email address. How does Exchange handle invalid email addresses? If
there is no com how in the world can email being sent to
that address actually be getting to a users mailbox? That is really
confusing me. I looked in the source of the emails and it is really going
to that email address but that email address does not exist (because I can
add it without getting an error that it exists). This user seems to get a
lot of emails sent to invalid addresses. Almost like he is the Exchange
Admin; but he is not. He said it has really gotten worse over the last
week. Any other ideas? I really appreciate your help on this. I have
googled this topic to death and can not find anything.

AOL Users not Receiving Attachments

Posted: 17 Aug 2006 10:45 AM PDT

I've always thought Rich Text wasn't a very sensible default format as it's
not a standard, like HTML.

I suppose it sort of makes sense for an Exchange server running in an
organisation that only uses MS mail clients and never sends email to
Internet addresses.

Perhaps with the next version of Outlook it'll default to XML ;-)

I've got a Group Policy forcing HTML or Plain Text and banning Word being
used as an email editor because of the pig ugly HTML it produces.

Event 9548

Posted: 17 Aug 2006 09:04 AM PDT

I have already read that site. Most of that applies to disabled accounts
(which they aren't as they do not exist in AD) or problems during migration
from Exchange 5.5. This may well have been th cause but Exchange 5.5 was
turned off and removed some time ago. Our Exchange 2003 server is now in
native mode.

These appear to be zombie accounts but I do not know how to remove them or
find them. I have seen http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324323/ but this
applies to Exchange 2000 Standard wheras I am running Exchange 2003 SP2
Enterprise.

Thanks.

Exchange 2003 using failover domain controllers

Posted: 17 Aug 2006 07:43 AM PDT

That is the way to go about it then. Note that Exchange may not die but
it could choke a little during the cut over. Outlook can also choke or
possibly die depending on the version. You want to run the most recent
version of outlook preferably in cached mode to have the fewest issues.

How to delete a looping email with rule forwarding to oneself?

that was continuous replication creating an inifinite loop. Yeah, I didn't
expect Exchange would allow that to happen either.

There is no header on the email, as the email was just forwarding within
Exchange server.

The problem was already solved in a rathere stupid way. What I did was
disabling that user account, in order to prevent the email from generating
further. Then, I restarted the Email Queue, and just let the system clean up
the unfinished email forwarding. The email queue finally cleaned, with 7,000+
emails spawned. >_<

Is there any action to prevent this, please? Or, if it really happens again
(unfortunately), would there be a better way to handle this? Thanks!

Mailbox has mail but user can't retrieve it.

Posted: 16 Aug 2006 12:44 PM PDT

Let me give you the full story which might help shed a bit more light on the
situation... Currently I run an Exchange 2003 server in house that serves up
email for three different domains. I cancelled a hosting account I had for a
fouth domain and got with the registrar to change the www. mail. and mx
records for that fouth domain. The exchange server also happens to run
internal DNS and uses forwarders to resolve to the outside world. Based on
the records I saw in the DNS for the three previously existing domains I
created two new records for the forth; an mx record of mail. & a text record
of v=spf1 mx:mail.xx.com +all. Now I added an email address to an existing
AD user account for the forth domain, and created a new AD user with an email
address specific to that forth domain as well. With the previously existing
AD account I am not receiving any emails specific to that forth domain (I've
tested this by sending emails from a yahoo account). As for the new AD user,
if I look in the Exchange System Manager at the mailboxes as viewed under the
First Storage Group -- Mailbox Store, I can see that the new user has a
mailbox with three items in it. I setup that new users mail account in an
Outlook 2003 client using Exchange Server as the Server type, entered the
name of the server and the user account (both of which were properly
recognized) but the three items that are supposedly sitting in the new users
mailbox do not get pulled into the client.

I think I'm dealing with two different issues here, the first possibly
having to do with the DNS setup internally, and the second being the new
users inability to get to the mail that exchange is show ing as being in
their mailbox.

I'm very confused with the proper setup and records for DNS but since the
three previously existing domains have been working properly I simply tried
to recreate what I saw for the forth domain. I spoke with the registrar of
the forth domain yesterday and they assured me that all the proper DNS
records are in place for the forth domain. I'm fresh out of ideas. Please
help!!!

You might look into the DumpsterAlwaysOn reg hack (google for it) if you

IIS port number giving problems.

Posted: 12 Aug 2006 10:52 PM PDT

I went through the documentation on that link and we have it configured
pretty much the same with the same topology, same ports open, etc.

But if you have any particular advice regarding the setup, sure like to hear
it.

Anyway the IIS port changing problem still persists? Do you think its anyway
related to the ports opened on the firewall?

Thanks

Organizational Forms Library

Posted: 11 Aug 2006 11:41 AM PDT

Yes, I have Owner permissions and I have closed Outlook and reopened it. I
even waited overnight to check to see if it showed up, in case it had
anything to do with the server updating information. I shoud have explained
the complete story to begin with, so let me give a little more background.
This Exchange server was originally set up as a BDC for the domain that it
belongs too. At that time, it had a functioning Organizational Forms
Library. We changed the status of this Exchange server to a member server of
the domain and apparently, the library quit working at that time. The old
Organizational Library seemed to be corrupted in some way, so I deleted that
library and created the new one. Now it stands that I have an Organizational
Library, but no one can see it. Thanks.

When you do a Find in ADUC, you can display the "Published At" column, this

If I right-click on a public folder and choose properties (in Exchange
System Manager on the original server) I get this error:

The HTTP Service used by Public Folders is not available, possible causes
are that Public stores are not mounted and the Information Store service is

What type of antivirus software do you have? Does it have a "service
account"? What about mailbox-by-mailbox backups (brick level backups)? Do
you do those? Have you moved all of these mailboxes? These are reasons
that your account would be the last logged on.
