NickPark, Good One, Dude! M~

Ben, Sounds like your exchange server is not secured against relaying. Have you tested for open relay? M~

The SRS server in your case is the new 2003 server. If you have site and/or X.400 connectors configured on the 5.5 server, then Yes you have to perform step 12 (my guess is you didn't). Also, you must configure the SMTP connector on 2003 to replace 5.5's IMS. Since you have already unplugged...

Dan, Yes, this is relatively a simple procedure. But, good to approach with some degree of skepticism. You don't want to do this during production hours. Perform your due diligence and backup the server before starting. The new database target ideally should be double the size or larger of...

shibuyauk Just a few words of caution on forwarding from exchange... You must filter SPAM before forwarding to external addresses. If you have an SMTP filter in front of or on the exchange server you will probably be OK. If you are filtering SPAM on the client side, then you run the risk of...

cahelmster The rpc warning is normal as the Exch2003 server is still expecting to communicate with 5.5 server. You can safely ignore this for now. But continue to monitor the application log. While you are waiting with sweaty palms, try replicating some client task. Access the public...

cahelmster, I concur with jamescoyle's article. However, the procedure is virtually irreversible. Prior to executing the removal procedure, disconnect the exchange 5.5 server's ethernet cord. Leave the 5.5 server running, with ethernet cord out. Monitor Exchange 2003 operations for at least...

takoch03 -- The delay problem to aol.com has been an issue for some time. It has to do with AOL's efforts to combat SPAM. Run a search on google and you'll find dozens of posting. Here's one for example: http://wings.buffalo.edu/computing/alert/index.cgi?alert=1117204440 M~

Hi WGBTR, I'm not sure I have the current understanding; the ceo currently uses webmail interface at register.com to retrieve and send email. The desired process is to have the ceo use owa instead of register.com address. This will provide local archive and administrative control of the ceo's...

Hi Yoja, "When you say assign an alias do you mean, create a new entry in the senders address book or change the actual email address that she is sending to?" My suggestion assumes you have administrative rights to user accounts (Active Directory Users and Computers.) If you do, just go to the...

Hi Yoja, Please clarify the current status - are some of the user's messages being delivered or is it messages from some other users. Sometimes you can't find anything wrong, because there isn't anything wrong. That could be the case here. If this is solidly isolated to one user, then the...

Hi there, Assuming you mean new "email" domain, not AD domain - Yes. One approach is to setup a second "A" record using "mail.newdomain.com" and point it to the same IP address as "mail.originaldomain.com". Then you must setup AD and Exchange (not to mention your SPAM and A/V solutions) to...

I am running Exchg 2003 SP1, on Server 2003 in 2000 AD Domain. Single exchg svr, no front-end. Recently reinstall IIS to resolve an issue with 3rd party SPAM Filter Software. After removing the 3rd party app, removing IIS and then reinstalling IIS, reinstalling Exchg, reapplying Exch SP1...

Just to clarify ... what browser are you using?

Eric, After trying LonnieCT's suggestion if that fails try accessing owa using the exchange server's ip address. Example - "https:\\192.168.1.50\exchange" (leave the "s" out if not running ssl). If this works, then check dns. mas
