if two server are up use mailbox move, down time to user only when that mailbox is being moved. below is a link to exchange2003 it is essentially the same for e2k, only thing that has to watch for in e2k, even one single message is corrupted in a mailbox, the move of that mailbox will fail, so...

apart from all your licensing here is a link, in part 2, about making sense of disk configuration. they have some really good things there, sure somebody already mention this site somewhere in this forum. http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Exchange-2003-Tweaks-Part1.html There are some folks...

ironically, just a day after I posted a possible solution, we have the same problem on our smtp relay svr. mail got stuck and restarting related services won't work, then reboot kind of work in the first 5 minutes or so. I mentioned this because we were under dos attack after checking the...

just browsing the forum and somebody, sorry forgot your name but thanks for sharing, mentioned this link. http://www.mxtoolbox.com it can check if it is an open relay, of course if you don't want telneting and don't have scripts on hand.

We had the same problem over a year ago, you might have to look closely the IDENT and fixup on your pix, another thing, what is the outgoing mail size you allowed and what is your upload bandwidth. if there are large email waiting in the queue, use the system manager to pause some big email...

exmerge has a down fall, it will sometime corrupt pst file or mailbox over 2gb, so when you doing that make sure no one has a 2gb mailbox

it looks we can start another thread, I guess stopping spyware, virus, and such at the gateway rather than being a cleanup crew would make our lifes easier, but this assume that the gateway product actaully up to its task.

km, here is what we found and there are already some discussions on fortinet forum about using symantec at the back, when they found out it only happen with symantec AV but not from other vendors, it might be false alarm from symantec, I want to test it too if my vmware, version 5 does cloning...

hitting the submit button too soon, some security appliances can set in a transparent mode so that almost no change to the network topology, just add it between you firewall/router and LAN/dmz. but most vendor offers only gateway products. we use fortinet and tried both gateway and transparent...

we use symantec ent. ed., server, desktop, exchnage, smtp(gateway), and web security. are all included, just like Mike and Aquias, very easy to do thing around with the console, and we are looking forward to March to see if their new v10 with spyware scanning ability will be easy to manage as it...

gfi product is not a smtp svr by itself, you can start/stop it anytime and should not affect the email flow that between your relay iis host and the exchange svr, put away the gfi first and go to mskb website find an article regarding how to setup your iis host to talk to the exchange, here is...

not aware of any vendor will allow you to resize after raid 1 is created, an very expensive tool call volume manager from powerquest (now symantec) can resize partition on win svr but a lot of them saying error might occur, if you need two partitions for the os and data, just build the rain 1...

I think the doc does mentioned that you have to get iis smtp server running first, under the smtp virtual server, creat a domain and set your forwarding/smart host, your exchange's ip with format [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx], on the exchange you need to creat a smtp connector if not existed then again...

we use symantec ent. with sms 4.5 for exchange, it's been quite stable with the sms 4.5, but what ashleym saying was true on all of the issues with the perious release and we had it all happened to us. we licensed for the ent. edition, we got the whole package for server and desktop, web proxy...

if your exchange is directly process incoming email, a 128k link might be the problem, one thing about smtp is it might use all your available bandwidth this is true for both incoming and outgoing, that is someone flood your exchange with spam will potentially bring you down for all the net...
