    Recover Mailbox Data feature

    Hi, Has any had any luck using this SP1 feature? I've successfully recovered a database to recovery storage group and I can see the mailboxes within the RSG version of the database. However when I try and run the "Recover Mailbox Data" Exchange task it fails with an Access Denied error...

    External USB drive compatibility

    Does anyone know of any external USB hard drives (500GB ideally) that are actually supported by the vendor on Windows 2003? From the ones I've checked so far none seem to state Windows 2003 and I've been told by a reseller I'd need to buy a NAS device rather than external USB drive. However I...

    All jobs and logs disappeared...

    One of our ARCserve servers is no longer displaying any jobs or job logs within ARCserve manager. In server admin it still listed 2 jobs in queue but in the manager I just get a blank page with "The job detail is not available" on the Job Detail page and "The job log is not available" on the Job...

    iSCSI requirements

    We have a Dell/EMC CX3-20 SAN that is currently running fine with several FC attached hosts however we now also want to add some iSCSI hosts but I'm struggling to understand what we need in terms of software and how it all hangs together. Our current setup for iSCSI is 2 x dedicated 48-port Gb...

    Changing Exchange server IP

    Hi, We have a mix of Exchange 5.5 and 2003 servers across 3 sites. We're changing all our internal subnets and that means migrating the Exchange servers (we intend to do them all on the same day). Looking at it it seems pretty simple as most settings reference hostnames not IPs (on connectors...

    MSDE DB nearly full

    Hi, I had an issue where my ePO's DB hit the 2GB limit, I've managed to clear events and run the SQLMAINT procedure to reclaim space. It dropped the DB size to about 750MB which solves my immediate issue however I still think this is way too high but can't figure out what's using the space (on...

    Server disk space monitoring/alerting?

    Does anyone know of a free (or very cheap) disk space monitor? It needs to be centrally manageable, preferably agentless and be able to send SMTP alerts. http://www.poweradmin.com/ServerMonitor/Lite.asp seems to do what I want (along with a lot of others around the 449-100 a server mark)...

    Delegate mailbox administration...

    We have a separate Security Admin team where I work who do all account admin and they also need to be able to modify mailbox permissions for people. Now the standard way to do this seems to be to delegate them Exchange Full Admin at the Admin Group level but to me that's giving them way too much...

    GroupShield update failures

    We have GroupShield 5.2 on Exchange 2000 and 5.0 on Exchange 5.5, as well as McAfee command line scanner running on an SMTP gateway box. Around the middle of April these all stopped being able to update their DAT files and I've been unable to resolve it so far. The Exchange 2000 box has DAT...

    Controlling VS8 patch deployment through the ePO

    How do you control things so that I can check in a patch for Virus Scan but not have clients automatically update (yet they still update their DATs/engines)? On the update task properties under task settings all I have is DATs and Engines ticked, there isn't even an option under Pathes/Service...

    Transfering DHCP scopes to new server

    As part of a rolling Windows 2000 to 2003 upgrade I need to transfer the DHCP scopes from a Windows 2000 DC to a Windows 2003 DC. KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325473 seems pretty straight-forward but it doesn't mention the impact to clients. I'm thinking I might be able to do this...

    Dummies guide to restoring a sever...

    We want to recover one server (an Exchange 2000 box) to a new box in a DR environment as a test (AD is in place as we have a DC running that was built in the live environment). I thought you just install the OS, install ARCserve (v11.1 in this case), merge the DB from tape then do a full...

    Stop resource calendar keeping attachments?

    We have automated resource bookings here for meeting rooms that work fine. The only issue I get is people often include attachments for the meeting when making a booking (as the meeting request goes to delegates as well as the resource). The problem is the resource mailbox is filling up with all...

    Utility to check if NIC running full or half duplex?

    Does anyone know of a utility than can query a NIC to tell if it's currently running in full or half duplex mode? Preferably it would be able to query remote NICs to...

    How does everyone handle exclusions?

    Most of the people where I work are developers and McAfee on-access scanning seems to choke a lot of Oracle and Java areas (scan timed out errors), which causes the PC to hang for several seconds each time. Firstly - is this normal? I've tried adjusting the scan time out settings but this...

    DAT download has started failing...

    My scheduled DAT download task has started failing (every time) the error reported is a proxy authentication failure. This worked fine for weeks though and nothing has changed. Also if I do an immediate pull task it works, but doesn't this also use the same proxy settings as the scheduled task...

    First 2003 DC into an AD

    Our current AD is in mixed-mode due to one NT DC still being present, all other DC's are Win2k. I want to add a new DC and would prefer to build it as Win2k3 so I don't have to upgrade it again in a few months. I have a couple of questions: 1). Can you install a Win2k3 DC into mixed-mode...

    The Synch Domain scheduled task

    From reading the ePO product guide I got the impressino the Synch Domain task adds in computers it finds in the domain that aren't in the ePO and pushes the Agent to them (as well as remove PCs if the opposite is true). However I just run a task as a test and it seems it also tries to push the...

    List of all EPO agent/VirusScan processes?

    Is there a document anywhere that lists all the McAfee processes that run on a client system (including those during initial installs and scheduled updates etc), as well as stating what the process does? Things like Mcscript_InUse, McShield, Frminst, FrameworkSrevice etc (I know the answer to...
