Your issue doesn't sound like an Exchange 2003 topic. Folks on this forum will need additional information in order to help you. It sounds like you are not authenticated properly/fully through their mail server. 1: Is it an ISP Pop3 account you are trying to access? 2: You state most of your...

I have received the following types of spam and would like everyones opinion as to whether or not I have a security issue with my Exchange server or SMTP services. The header info follows: Microsoft Mail Internet Headers Version 2.0 Received: from exchange.xyzdomain.com ([66.215.255.73]) by...

Hi there, See if your solution is addressed within this thread: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=991839&page=4

Thanks sab4you, Your reply resolved my issue. My users were accessing OWA via the IP address not the FQDN. As this is new to us I didn't realize they could also access via exchange.domain.com. I changed the certificate to reflect the correct information, imported it and all is well. Thanks...

I have a Windows 2003 SBS server with Exchange and both OWA and Remote Web Workplace access working with one small caveat. When logging into OWA or Remote I get a "Problem with certificate" error as follows. 1: Security Certificate is from a trusted certifying authority 2: Security Certificate...

Hello, Hope you guys can point me in the right direction. I am a little nervous that my server may be open to outsiders. I am using Windows SBS 2003 Premium with Exchange. I received this message today: "Alert on AMERICANSBS at 12/2/2004 1:01:35 PM A large number of messages are pending in...

I agree that it sounds like an external DNS issue. I think it's unlikely (but certainly not impossible) that some DNS servers have not updated their records yet (5 days since the MX record change). If that is the case I should see the amount of mail picked up by the server at my backup MX...

It looks like about 30% being re-directed. What confuses me is that someone can reply to an email sent to them and I get the reply - but I don't get the mail if they just send it on their own. How would I check the utilization of my SBS server? If it helps with diagnosing, the domain is...

We have recently moved our mail in house from our ISP. (They previously provided us with pop3 access) It's been configured and running for 5 days now with one issue. Some email is successfully delivered to my users and some is not. Here are the particulars: MX records are updated and listed...

A shot in the dark here as I don't see that you posetd any error message you received when logon was attempted. We had a similar issue where we could not logon to our ftp server using our domain username and password but if we enabled anonymous access we could gain access anonymously. As we do...

I walked into a situation with a W2k server having no administrator password. They would like to secure this server but BackUp Exec is set to run under the Administrators account. When I add a secure password to the Admin account Backup Exec is going to fail. Is there an easy way to fix this...

You can rename the domain as long as certain requirements are met. See the Microsoft KB article at the following link. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292541 You may want to look at upgrading to Server 2003 if your current servers don't meet the pre-requisites defined by the KB article...

Thanks to all who helped. After going through everything again, I found that during the changeover the DNS was set pointing to the ISP's external DNS server. Corrected this by setting up DNS on the DC and performance improved dramatically. I don't know how they got it to be the DC WITHOUT a DNS...

Sorry - thought I made the issue clear. Outlook on all clients (47 of them) starts very slowly which was not the case when the NT 4.0 server with Exchange 5.5 was in use. This is what has me befuddled. I don't know why Outlook would now be slow UNLESS it has something to do with accessing...

Hello, Walked into a situation which goes as such. Company had an "Exchange Expert" come in and migrate 5.5 to 2000. At least that's what they were told. Upon examining the situation what they actually did was export a .pst backup on each client computer, took the NT 4.0 Server with...
