    Front-end server can't access BackOfficeStorage

    Hi all, Please help a relatively-inexperienced-in-Exchange guy out. We've been asked to fix an Exchange 2003 (SP2) set up: it has a back-end server that's working fine, and a front-end OWA/OMA server that was OK... Problems started when the OWA server was moved to a different logical subnet...

    MAPI woes

    Hi all, Hope someone can help me out. I've inherited a Exchange 2003 (on Windows 2003) server that on the surface is working fine, but has some big problems under the surface. I've only a little knowledge of Exchange, but am fairly experienced in other areas. The main problem seems to be MAPI...

    Message stuck in outbox

    Hi all, Thanks for the very useful replies. I was working at the problem from the OWA side of things - the assumption was that the problem must be at the server/database level as the message had made it from the client PC to the server. However, going into the client PC allowed me to delete the...

    Message stuck in outbox

    Hi all, Very new to Exchange 2007. We've installed a SBS2008 server, and fortunately the Exchange system was more or less pre-configured for us. I've managed to complete the missing parts of the config and the system is up and running for 20 users with OWA, Internet mail etc. However, one user...

    Logging into Active Directory sends traffic to the 'wrong' AD server

    @Dublin73: Yeah, I think I'll try that this weekend. I've had a look at packets coming in and out of site B's DC, and it's definitely being hit by the 'client' - just some part of the login process is going over the WAN to site A. @58sniper: Yes, site B's DC is set as a global catalog server.

    Logging into Active Directory sends traffic to the 'wrong' AD server

    They're all pointed at a single DNS server running on a NetWare server. The server is AD-compatible and all AD DNS-related diags check out OK - i.e. if I do the nslookup check for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.Domain_Name, there are records for both DCs.

    Logging into Active Directory sends traffic to the 'wrong' AD server

    Yeah, AD Sites and Services all looks fine. I've ran DCDIAG on both DC's, everything checks out fine. I've also ran NLTEST /dsgetdc:company.com from a server in site B, and it returns with the Site B's DC.

    Logging into Active Directory sends traffic to the 'wrong' AD server

    Yes, we have two zones set up. However, I don't think this is a Citrix problem - we see the traffic on Site A's AD server even if we log in through RDP, or even at the server console.

    Logging into Active Directory sends traffic to the 'wrong' AD server

    Hi guys & girls, Our company has two main sites connected by a private WAN link. There are servers at both sites, including a couple of dozen Citrix servers. Site A was originally the only site in the business, with site B coming online later. Site A has a dedicated Active Directory server...

    6.1 to 7.0 licensing question

    We're just about to start out upgrade from Galaxy 6.1 to 7.0. I've received the media and am planning the upgrade, however I've got a couple of unanswered questions: * Will our current v6.1 licenses "just work" after installing v7? We've kept our VIP payments up to date, and although we've got...

    Media from a different library after tape drive swap

    After a bit of clicking about, I found the "Change Data Path" option, which seems to be as close to the migrate function as I'm going to get. I've eventually got all my old tapes showing up under the "Assigned Media" pool for the library, and I can view contents, delete contents etc. I can't...

    Media from a different library after tape drive swap

    @mspope: No, I don't seem to be able to do ANYTHING with the media - load it, export it, anything. @Frbutler: OK, sounds like a plan - but I can't find the "migrate media" option, could you help please? :)

    Media from a different library after tape drive swap

    Our HP Autoloader stopped working yesterday, so we've had it swapped under warranty. I've reconfigured the MA to detect the new autoloader and drives, and new backups are working fine. However, I need to restore data from a few weeks ago, on a tape written by the old drive, and the media is...

    Relatively slow Magnetic Library backups

    [blush] Don't know what I was thinking of - changing the SP settings regarding streams wouldn't affect currently running jobs. Starting new jobs gives me a lovely multi-stream backup :) Thank you all for all your help; I'm going to split the server into subclients, which is a great idea on many...

    Relatively slow Magnetic Library backups

    Thanks for all the replies. It's helped me focus on the cause of the problem, and to a large degree I think the problem is due to our lack of multi-stream backups. When I did the file copy test, I wasn't comparing "apples with apples" - the file copy was of a single large file, whereas the "real...
