Using a Server 2003 monitoring tool, I get daily health reports. Recently, 2 of my servers have started reporting negative values. It uses WMI and I do not have SNMP enabled. Any suggestions? I've heard about rebuilding the WMI database but do not know how to do that. If that is the only way to...

I'm going to blow it away and start over. The hard drives were partitioned too small anyway. I hope they have the original CDs! Thanks for the replies.

Small Business Server was sold to new customer and they want everything reconfigured. They ran DCPromo to delete domain (only 1 DC) then ran it again and created a new domain. How can I get Exchange to recognize the new domain? Running System Mgr says "No Exchange Org in that domain". Duh...

Problem solved. Spam filtering company changed some IP addresses and these were not in the firewall.

We have been having problems receiving emails from certain domains. First it was just 1, and they said their IT team "did something" and then all was fixed. The next day two more customer domains could not send. Magically, all was fixed. I had not done anything to my Exchange 2003 (Server 2003)...

Test restore was successful. I got the alert again about store using more memory... I have not rebooted yet but I will try applying the patches first.

Backups thanks. Knife in drawer - hahaha, very punny. ;) Restore - I misunderstood your question about a server level restore. I thought you were saying to restore the whole store. I have test restored folders and messages, albeit it was a while ago. Another test is in order so I will follow...

Don't reboot immediately - OK System managed - Thanks Reapplying service packs may well resolve the problem, it normally does. - OK, will do. Stopping services. Apply SPs and restart, may well cure it. - thanks, will do. Backup Strategy - good. Really good. When did you last do a server...

Thanks for the reply. Boot.ini - I've reset it back to how it was. I still need to reboot though. Pagefile - It was set as: C: = 2046-4092 D: = None What would you recommend? Should I change to "System managed"? I'd rather wait to reapply the Service packs, but thanks for the...

SBS2003, Exchange 2003, 2GB RAM. I am getting the following alert: "The store.exe process is allocating more memory than usual." I have searched and have not found a fix, just some articles about disabling the alert and that this is normal behavior after applying SP1. This may be considered...

OK markdmac, now you're just showing off! hahaha Sounds kinda cool! I could have all of the groups listed and she could just check the appropriate one... Nice idea.

Yes, AD Users and Computers distribution list. Don't know why I was looking under Exchange... Brain fart I guess. I am doing it the way you are suggesting. I guess I will just have to make sure she copies a user. Gotta love management... Thanks again.

Thanks, I did find it there. One more question, can a new user automatically be added? They have given our receptionist the right to add users (I know, I know) and I want it to be a simple as possible, since I will have to support it. What I do is copy a user that matches the new user's role...

That's what I thought too, but only the @domain.com is listed; not the "everyone" address for me to edit... I may eventually figure it out but I am drawing a blank at the moment. Thanks for the reply.

Instead of our company-wide email address being "everyone@abc.com" how do I change it to "allusers@abc.com"? Should be simple, but I do not remember how to change it. Getting old sux... ;)

It is not the only DC but it is running DNS and DHCP. Exchange and SQL are on other boxes. Thanks for the input.

Client purchased new server and wants to retire the old one. The old one is the 'primary' domain controller in a 2003 level domain and forest. Is it as simple as connecting to the new DC and changing RID, PDC, and Infrastructure master roles to itself, and then demoting the old DC? Thanks in...

Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003 We do not want to set "delegates", just do not want everyone to see private appointments. We have the default as "Reviewer" but one person is "Editor". How would I set that one user to see my private appointments without setting up delegates? I do not what...

I found a MS article that shows how to keep the rights and shares (don't recall what it is at the moment) but there is a LOT of data on the drives so I was hoping to take the quick way out and just move it and have it be recognized. I know W2003 has Dynamic drive ability but I did not want to...

W2K server (DC) has RAID5 array; 4 drives + 1 Hot Swappable drive) and all is fine - data shares, rights, etc. no problems. The data is the user's "Public" share. When moving the array to a new 2003 server, the RAID is seen in BIOS but in Drive Manager it shows as an "unallocated" basic...
