Remember that there might a message retention period on the database and if you compact before that period expires then you will not shrink the database. Bacause the MTP keeps deleted data and it is not officially Tombstoned from compaction standpoint. If you do a Mailbox only backup then you...

To ImWoody, I think I have solved the solution. I have inherited this 5.5 Server from a previous BAD administrator. I went through group shield and have determined that API message scanning was the scan method that I was usuing. I have changed it to ESE direct scanning to ensure that all...

Actually I am runing an inbound Spam appliance (Trimmail) the outgoing queue is the problem KP

This problem stems from the current IMC problem that people are having with the 5.5 system. I have suppressed the NDRs with the registry key but <>'s are still poluting the outgoing cache. FYI KP

Well My IMS is up and suning for 2 days But the outgoing Queue still is polluted with <> non deliverables. I will wait and see. KP

The defauly Authentication for OWA is the username then a second dialogbox with the domanin\username KP

Also I made a large mistake You need to change the LDAP port to 390 on the exchange 5.5 Server if you havent. KP

I would also see if some basic Webserver functions are operating to determine that IIS is actually working. If SSL is enabled as the only access https is the conection needed a simple http to the server will fail unless you redirect it to the HTTPS page.

Actually this is exactly what I do On proliant Servers though. You really need the same machine to clone. Also you need a clone of the DC to a similar machine as well. There is a good book called Exchange 5.5 24 Seven THis book explains in detail how to move exchange Information stores to a...

Are you using SSL ? Do you have a Certificate?

That is the patch I have applied I had no problem getting it from microsoft call the medium size buisness number and say you have the IMC problem as described in hotfix 884874. I also stated that this is delaying my exchange 2003 migration which is enterprise based. It seems strange that this...
