Guys thanks for all your help - all taken onboard. We have 3rd party email tool that sits as an Outlook toolbar - this maybe the cause! With regards to the mailbox store registry size increase - are there any other factors to be aware of. Backups the obvious one but a hike to 25Gb should cause...

Hi! I plan to defrag the mailbox store/add registry keys to update the 18gb limit and update the limits at the store level. Only reason I plan to defrag is because Outlook can be slow to start-up on client PC's and occasionaly we get an 'Outlook is trying to receive ....' message/pop-up...

Thanks for the heads-up guys. Will look at Exchange 2010.

Hi! I'm looking to move our Exchange server to new hardware. We will probably also upgrade it to Exchange 2007 possibly next year. Does Exchange 2003 work on a 64 bit version? Before I even look at moving Exchange I want to make sure the new server can handle an Exchange 2007 upgrade in the...

Hi thanks for the response. Presume its just a case of uninstalling MS Exchange (to unisntall the ESM) from add/remove (from the DC). Would the removal cause any issues with live Exchange? Cheers

We have a Windows 2003 server (SP3) that is a Domain Controller. It is also running an instance of Exchange System Manager (this server is not our primary Exchange server). I have noticed some application log errors that I cant find any information to troubleshoot so wondering if anyone can...

Thanks mrdenny That's a step in the right direction. When this freeze occurs im sure its a particular file the user is performing file operations but its identifying which file that is. Some kind of counter to to list user file activity when the peak occurs or something???

Hi Quick question ... We have a Dell Poweredge 2900 (file and print) 2003 server which has Raid 5 for the data drive. Occasionally the Average Disk Queue spikes at 100% which casues a freeze. Is there any way to find out which file (or process) is causing this issue. Have looked at other...

Thnaks Guys; can I just recap: 1. The 192.168.138.X subnet used for remote access to give IP's to remote clients. 2. The above subnet doesnt have an DC in it but lets say for example that the Default-First-site-Name contains a DC. Thefore I need to: 1. Create a new Site 2. Create a new...

Hi Our firewall is hosted by our ISP who recently setup remote VPN access into the office via a Cisco client. In order to set this up we provided an IP subnet for the clients not used such as 192.168.138.X. However each time a remote user is authenticated remotely the system log of the DC...

All sorted. Problems with the ISP!

Hi! It must be an internal DNS problem but I can’t see where (my DNS knowledge inst great though). There are no errors in the event logs so I am at a loss. What would determine how an email gets out? Our MX record is pointing to a public IP address provided by our ISP - they have confirmed that...

Any help would be much appreciated with the following: Since on of our (W2K3) domain controllers in a branch was rebooted we have been unable to send/receive email from our W2K3 Exchange server at head office. Prior to the reboot the DNS configuration for the sever was pointing to another...

Yeah that's what I was thinking - Cheers.
