I'm using E2k and Outlook 2002 and have recently changed ISP. I'm also using Symantec anti virus enterprise edition including the bundled spam filter. My problem is this: external mail addressed to more than one internal recipient is only getting through to the first recipient in the address...

I have created an Outklook security policy using the ms outlook admin package. Updating HKEY_CURRENT_USER on my machine (administrator)creates no problems however, permissions prevent the .reg (or a batch file alternative) from updating the registry on client machines. As XP doesnt list users by...

I have just upgraded to W2000 server and I am soon to upgrade to Exchange 2000. I am concerned about internal and external domain names. All the advice seems to say name your internal domain differently to your external domain. I have therefore named the internal domain local.XXXX.com (my...

I have two DCs recently upgraded to W2k. My website is XXXX.com and it is hosted externally. My question is: should I name my internal domain XXXX.com or local.XXXX.com (for example)? I understand how to resolve externally using forwarders, my query is centred around how naming will affect...

I'm planning to migrate to W2k. We own the namespace ****.com and of course our email addresses take on the form name@****.com My question is if I name the domain for example local.****.com, can I preserve the addressing both internally and externally? (or is there a better way of doing it)? I...

Not really, I want to know where the applications should reside. Should I put exchange on the same server as ISA with the other server hosting the database and files. I'm really trying to ascertain whether to go for load balancing or fault tolerance across the 2 servers and how best to configure...

Sorry , I'm interested in how best to configure the mail, file, email, database and ISA server functions across the 2 servers. Both servers are multi-homed so maybe this will allow more possibilites. Any help would be appreciated.

I have inherited an NT4/Exchange 5.5 network with one server which is used as a file, mail and database server for 30 internal users and an external membership of 5000 who utilise our web services. Our websites are hosted externally but members log-ins are verified against data held locally. I...

I have recently replaced a tower server with a rackmount. I am now left with an HP 40i internal tape drive. Is there any way to connect a remote tape drive (ie one housed in a workstation) OR is there a conversion kit available to convert an internal drive to an external?

I am about to start planning a migration from NT4 to W2k and Exchange 2k. Currently I have one server performing as a file, e-mail (Exchange 5.5) and database server. There is a lot of traffic in both directions, not least because all web site log-ins are authenticated against the locally held...

I have a small network (26 PCs running XP Pro) and a server running NT4 and Exchange 5.5.(soon to be 2, phew!) As the server is a long way from my office, I would like to run backups from an HP DAT40 attached to my PC (we use Backup Exec 8.6). I know that a tape drive can't be seen as a share...

I have Backup Exec 8.6 installed on a server running NT4 and Exchange 5.5. As the server room is on the floor below me I would like to install an HP DAT40i on the PC in my office (XP Pro). I know you cant share a tape drive, but is there any other way to do this?

I have a small network of XP Pro workstations and an NT4 server. I have Veritas backup exec 8.6 on the server. I would like to install an HP surestore DAT40i locally on my workstation.. Can this be done?

I have been forced by hardware failure to install a new PC on the network earlier than planned. As a result I have Office 97 on XP pro OS. When I set up Outlook everything works fine with the exception of the calendar and tasks. Before I start looking at a recovery (which I don't think will...
