We are trying the different upgrade scenarios from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 in a lab and I had a question. I installed the Exchange 2003 box into the same organization as the two 5.5 servers (separate sites) but accidentally chose to install in the same site as one of those servers. We...

Are you running an Active Directory domain? I am not that familiar with the SBS version of Exchange 2003, but with the Standard and Enterprise editions they require AD. In order to set up forwarding to an external email system such as hotmail, you must create a contact in Active Directory...

I really should know this, however, the terminology being used in the Microsoft courseware is very confusing. Just to make sure I want to post this question. Here is a quote from the Microsoft courseware: "Transaction log files are not deleted from the server at the completion of an...

Do software restriction policies apply to Windows 2000 pro clients or just to XP?

that works, I didn't even think of the export capabilities. Thanks for your help. I discovered today that I could create a group using the grouptype attribute and it would be a domain local but a distribution group. If I left that attribute off I got a security global. I figured that if all else...

Okay so the grouptype attribute with a value of 4 creates a distribution group which is domain local in its scope. I couldn't get that security group value to work though. I need to be able to create multiple security groups of global and domain local scope within a single csv or ldf file...

What I am really looking for is a list of the LDAP attributes that are used with these two utilities. It seems that the list of attributes used to create user accounts are abundant. But how about the list of attributes for the objectclass: group. When I add this to my text file it automatically...

Recently on our only Exchange 2000 server a number of services are stopping on a regular basis. The most apparent service in question is the SMTP service. At least once a week (twice in the last two days) the service has just stopped. There are no errors in Event viewer and the service starts...

I had this problem when sales personnel left the company and their accounts had to be disabled. However, the sales manager still needed their emails to be forwarded to his mailbox as well as the accounts disabled for security reasons. Initially the forwarding address did nothing but after I...

Here is the situation and I am a novice administrator thrown into the management of an Exchange environment. THis morning I realized that no one in my company can send email messages to remote domains. Deliveries are able to be received from all domains and internal deliveries are working just...

Yes Microsoft products, thanks that answers that question. Would the process be similar for third party products as well? Will an administrative install work for those as well? THanks for your help

Using Group policy to deploy software for the network users, what happens if a piece of software requires a license key. Microsoft's documentation is lacking on the issue of licensing as always. If I create a software package to deploy to the network, wouldn't the users be required to enter...

Simply go into Active Directory Users and COmputers and create a new computer account for the machine in the Computers subfolder. Do so by right-clicking the computers container and going to New>Computer and filling in a unique name

Cannot get Windows 98 clients to access the list of users from the domain. EVerything is in order, DNS records and WINS records pointing to the domain controller. Anyone ever tried this and experienced the same thing.

I am an MCT and saw something I had never come across today. Setting up the DFS root for the Distributed File System and then had students set up replicas of the root, and then links beneath that. Everything worked fine except that after replicas were created new folders showed up the DFS root...
