Many thanks for this DestinysDream. It's a shame MS aren't as helpful as you. FB.

I administer a network with multiple site and bridgehead servers supporting 6000+ users. We have mailbox storage limits set on the IS of each site server to enable us to manage the storage capacity. A corporate policy has changed, which means I need to edit the warning message that is issued...

I need to move several mailboxes from one site to another. The Move Mailbox function only works between servers within a single site. Does anyone know how to move these mailboxes? Is there a Technet article?

Make sure that none of the recipients who are in the DL have any auto-forward rules or alternate recipients set to send mail to the deleted mailbox.

I need to implement wholesale changes to the display names of the mailboxes on my network. Typically I would export to a .CSV file make the changes and import the data overwriting the current entries with the changes. I understand this wont work for display name changes as that is the field...

After much testing with XP I finalised the production build to be used on our network. I now need to reset the permissions on the registry and HDD back to default. I thought I could use Partition Magic 7 to convert the volume back to NTFS and then re-convert FAT32 to NTFS. Partition Magic is...

Don't forget the Mailbox limits can be unique to the mailbox or use the Private Information store limits. You may need to check both.

FIXED, after a fashon. I ran ISINTEG on the PRI.EDB database with the FIX switch and the FOLDER test. This took hours but either recovered the email or deleted the ones it could not recover. B¬)

After having to rebuild the Exchange server, and reinstall exchange, I restored the IS using ISInteg –patch. This went well. Upon returning to work on Monday I reports that users can open some messages but have problems opening others. There doesn’t seem to be a pattern in size date...

I am about to roll out 30 XP Pro machines on an NT4 domain. I want to be able to disable EFS on the XP machines. Anyone know how?

I have several users who have recently changed their post titles. We use a truncated version of the users job title as the mailbox alias. When the mailbox is originally created a field on the advanced tab of the mailbox properties called ‘Directory Name’ is completed with the alias name. With...

Is the machine on a network? If so you could connect to the local users and groups and create a new account and make it a local administrator. This would get you onto the PC and give you access to the local accounts so you can reset the forgotten password.

Take a look at the Internet mail connector. In the Internet Mail tab of the connector’s properties there is an option for the administrator’s mailbox. Add you mailbox here. Click the Notifications button and tick the ‘E-mail address could not be found’ box. This will deliver any mail, which...

I am administering an exchange system with several sites in several different geographical locations. I have created a structure of public folders, which are homed locally. The users of the folders are based on other site. I have configured Exchange so the users of the folders have full...

On the General tab of the properties screen for the mailbox, set the Primary Windows NT Account to the distribution list containing those users who need to use the account. In the users Outlook set the Mailbox name to the shared one under the Microsoft Exchange Server properties. :-)
