    Exchange 2003 Public Folder Permissions Viewing

    Here is what technet has to say about it... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324345 ____________________________________ I'm allowed one mistake per day, hopefully the suggestion I just gave wasn't it.

    cannot log into server via rdp/terminal services or console

    It's a long shot but try running mstsc with the /console switch (in other words start -> run -> mstsc.exe /console). Then try to log into the server as you normally would. Using the console switch will log you into the console through RDP and is not restricted by the 120 day Terminal Services...

    Receiving e-mails not addressed to user

    Most likely they are putting in your email address in the Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) field. Exchange by default (it may be possible to change this, but I've never tried) doesn't register any BCC email addresses in the Internet Headers.

    Retention of e-mail messages?

    The option you’re looking for is deleted item retention. When this it turned on, all user deleted email is kept on the server for the specified retention time. You can configure this setting by going to the properties of the information store, the “limits” tab, and then to the “Deletion...

    Adding External contacts for Global Address book

    You actually use the “contact” object in AD. When creating the object, establish an email address and enter in the external SMTP address. The Contact will then display in the Address book, and any email sent to that user will forward to the configured external SMTP address. Here's a Q...

    unable to remove SMTP address

    You can’t actually remove the SMTP addresses from recipients since SMTP is how Exchange 2000 resolves and delivers email (in Exchange 5.5 X.500 was the native addressing format and therefore you could remove the SMTP address since it was not required). What you can do however is restrict the...

    Huge log file

    You have your diagnostic logging for your IMS on. Go to your IMS settings, diagnostic logging, and set your SMTP Protocol Log to none. You should be able to open up the log files and see they are just text files of email messages. You can just delete the log files if you don't need them.
