I've been pulling my hair out on this one for a few days now. I have 1 user that when she connects directly to the exchange server via RPC everything works as expected. When she connects to the exchange server via RPC over HTTPS with her credentials she gets a unable to open mailbox error...

Also keep in mind that if you use SCR and your clients are using anything but Outlook 2007 they will not see the server change until you either change the client config manually or push out a group policy that does it. I just did a site fail over for Hurricane Ike and even though we never lost...

I manage a network with 3 sites in multiple cities, I have a domain controller is Site C that after a reboot, it will talk over the WAN (VPN to Sites A and B) for about 5 days, then just stop. It won't replicate, answer any requests from any of the other sites, it will how ever answer requests...

ewallig, check out www.astrocorp.com. They sell a device that does exactly what your looking for. I have it at several of my client sites. Just point your authoritative DNS to it and configure accordingly. If WAN1 goes down, this device will see that and start advertising the IP WAN2. Scott...

I dont quite understand what auth has to do with this, or is this some watchguard thing that I dont know about? Anyway, I've uploaded some screen shots of my current config: http://www.scottspad.com/wghelp/ Hopefully I'm doing something wrong in the config and this is why that server is not...

Which Interface should I choose? Trusted or External? When I get a few minutes I'll take some screen shots of the config and post them. It's not a huge issue I just dont want to stick Exchange out with a public IP, and I'd rather use our Cisco 2600 to do this but alas, the gods of time and space...

I've got a Watchguard Firebox 700 that was installed before I had this job, recently some of our outbound e-mails have been getting rejected by the recieving mail server due to what I consider overly strict Reverse DNS policies. Everything including all my servers go out to the internet as...

I've found that if the access database is using a Security Manager database (MDW file) for logins/passwords/permissions and it's open when the link goes down you have to go in and reset where the MDW file is. For example: User is in the database working away, the apps security database is...

The issue has been solved. Read the 2nd post. I'm not doing anything with AD in this circumstance because I don't want to have AD facing the internet. The issue was with BIND not being able to write out the zone files locally it copied off the w2k3 server. Scott Heath www.scottspad.com AIM...

This particular win2k3 server is doing most of my external facing services (IIS,DNS,VPN etc) for my network. I have two other servers inside my firewall that do DNS for my 2003 AD domain, as well as a 3rd domain controller at a remote site. The bind server is just performing secondary DNS to...

I'm just using BIND for external DNS with out any fancy features like trusts. Server A is replicating to Server B, just like in the old days of DNS. It just so happens that Server A is a win2k3 server that is doubling as a DNS server for the outside world. Scott Heath www.scottspad.com AIM...

bayccs, After posting last night I ran accross a solution. Have your pop3 users log in to OWA (or you do this for them) and disable Junk Mail filtering. Hope that helps, Scott Scott Heath www.scottspad.com AIM: orange7288 SprintPCS ReadyLink? IM ME

bayccs, did you find a solution? I have 2 users in my entire org that need to use pop3 (one is in Paris the other uses a Mac and refuses to use entourage (SP)). Scott Scott Heath www.scottspad.com AIM: orange7288 SprintPCS ReadyLink? IM ME

Update: I went looking in /var/logs/messages and found the following: Jan 28 12:56:47 newDNS named[3771]: transfer of 'domain.com/IN' from 192.168.1.14#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied Jan 28 12:56:47 newDNS named[3771]: transfer of 'domain.com/IN' from 192.168.1.14#53...
