    Disaster recovery issues

    It is a DC - and the mirror wouldn't build at all. Is there no way of swapping out a faulty HD simply? Hollingside Technologies, Making Technology work for you. www.hollingside.com (No, I am not scary at all! See www.stircrazy.org)

    Disaster recovery Q

    Here is the scenario: 2 servers, both running w2k3. One with E2k3. This manifested itself as an Exchange 2k3 issue, but I think it is really a win2k3 thang - hence the cross posting to both forums. The exchange server has 2 hard disks - c: for the system, and D: for exchange - everything...

    Disaster recovery issues

    Here is the scenario: 2 servers, both running w2k3. One with E2k3. The exchange server has 2 hard disks - c: for the system, and D: for exchange - everything exchange is stored on D: Now - C: starts getting the odd bad block - so I figured I would add another HD and mirror both C & D, then...

    Block a user sending external mail

    Thanks again for your prompt reply. I guess I must be doing something wrong - I set this setting on my email account (to test it), then sent an email outside of my domain, and it worked no problem at all. Which is odd - because it looks like that "deny" should do the trick. Hollingside...

    Block a user sending external mail

    Hi! Thanks for the rapid reply. On my E2k3 setup - I cannot see any smtp connectors - there is a calendar connector, but that is it. This user, at the moment, collects his email either via IMAP or OWA - does that make any difference to the solution? M Hollingside Technologies, Making...

    Block a user sending external mail

    Is it possible to block a (or a group) of users from sending external mail? I still want them to be able to receive mail, but not send any. They can send within the company, but not to external domains. Many thanks. M Hollingside Technologies, Making Technology work for you...

    MTA stacks and Inf. Store not starting

    Not yet - not fully. Situation thus far is: On old server, couldn't resurrect - so installed new server with E2k3 - which had some issues but seems to be work with new mail ok. The issues with the new server is that they couldn't find the offline address book - which is on the opld server - so...

    MTA stacks and Inf. Store not starting

    How do you re-attach a mailbox to a user? I can remove the exchange attributes (losing all the email addresses etc - but I can live with that) - but then how to point the recovered mailbox to the user again? Or do I just create a new mailbox on the new server, and use exmerge to copy the old...

    MTA stacks and Inf. Store not starting

    Hi there. Current status - the exchange server failed to come back to life. :( They have a new box on the network, onto which I have installed Ex2k3 and this is running fine. I have recovered the mailboxes from the old server and mounted these in a recovery storage group on the new server. I...

    MTA stacks and Inf. Store not starting

    Urch. Ok - back at it again today - all via remote desktop. The re-install won't work - I get the message: 'The component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services" cannot be assigned the action "Reinstall" because: - You must use the same edition of Microsoft Exchange Server...

    MTA stacks and Inf. Store not starting

    Ok - ran forest and domain prep with no errors. Rebooted the server, and the same errors are still there. What is the next step? On another note - if I can't get this fixed - what are your daily rates, and how long do you reckon it might take you to fix it? Assuming that you might be willing...

    MTA stacks and Inf. Store not starting

    So, an in place "re-install" might do the trick? Will that break anything - or lose the data that is there? Thanks for the prompt response btw. M Hollingside Technologies, Making Technology work for you. www.hollingside.com (No, I am not scary at all! See www.stircrazy.org)

    MTA stacks and Inf. Store not starting

    Scenario is: At the company with this problem - the exchange server mobo went down, and was a week+ in being replaced. In the meanwhile, they installed E2k3 on a new machine - giving it the same name, and restored a backup of the data - they were not able to get this going. Not sure why, but I...

    Public folder as mailbox and also a free spam filter

    I have just setup a public folder as a mailbox (to get all my companies spam into one place). The spam filter is the very good (and free) ORFilter from here: http://www.martijnjongen.com/eng/orfilter/ Anyhow - I created a spam folder in my public folder tree to receive all the spam - but the...

    News Groups removal?

    Ah - I had to propigate my folder & admin properties (via exchange system manager) to the subfolders before I could delete them all. M. Hollingside Technologies, Making Technology work for you. www.hollingside.com (No, I am not scary at all! See www.stircrazy.org)

    News Groups removal?

    Here is how I did it. Assigned myself owner rights over the public folder in question (internet newsgroups) - then in outlook from a client workstation deleted the folder itself. This takes some time. Just before it finished deleting the sub-folders, I canceled the delete, and delted the...

    News Groups removal?

    I have just setup the nntp part of exchange 2000, allowing - in theory people in the organisation to view some newsgroups. However, I mistakenly left the "*" in when selecting which newsgroups to add to the feed. I have now downloaded *ALL* newsgroups - or at least the group names. How can I...
