    Disk Space

    You could use the Exchange Otimizer to move log files and database files to another drive. However this could be a very risky thing to do if you have no disk space. If there is a way get all the users off the Exchange server, move files (or compress them) to make space temporarily you could...

    NT BACKUP USING AT COMMAND

    Mr F Gibbon is completely right but here's another possible option too. If you install IE 5 or above on the machine it should upgrade the Task Scheduler. This provides a GUI that allows you to specify which user account to use for each scheduled task so you could create a special account to do...

    Add .bmp file to all outgoing email

    To the best of my knowledge this not possible. If you are using the OutboundAppend method like I think you are there is no option there to use html tags (or other tags) to place images. It may be possible to setup something like this in Outlook but if you plan on enforcing it over a large...

    Transaction Logs Question

    Well I've not used Backup Exec myself however I understand that you can do differential backups of Exchange and you can also backup to disk. Why not schedule a job to run every working hour (or however often you like) to keep over writing the same file (not on your Exchange server, natch) with...

    Inbound email sent directly to a printer

    In Outlook (2002 although this may be possible in earlier versions), under the Rules Wizard you can send messages to print. Unfortunately you need a computer that keeps Outlook open all the time for this to work so it may not be ideal

    Transaction Logs Question

    It depends on your backup software but most of them will allow you to do Differential backups of the Exchange server. This should backup all log files without deleting them. Also note that circular logging must be disabled for this to work.

    newbie: Forward mail

    In Exchange Admin, open Internet Mail Service under Connections. On the Connections tab, under Message Delivery you need to set "Forward all messages to host" and the address of your unix box. So long as the unix box is permitted to relay for your exchange server then that should work

    Windows NT Account

    When you look at the mailbox resources screen you're looking at the last user to logon to the mailbox, where as what you see when you look at the mailbox properties is the primary account for that mailbox. I assume the administrator account is being used to do a bricks level backup on your...

    ROUTING PROBLEM

    If "Hosts and clients that successfuly authenticate" is already ticked then there should be no need to turn the IMS into an open relay. When the POP3 user connects and authenticates, they should be able to relay SMTP If you look at the page linked above it states the following...

    Have you tried the RPC Ping tool on the Exchange CD? Try both the name and IP address

    What's Enable Message Tracking?

    Correct. The Message Archival option will only store messages going in and out of the IMS Message tracking will track internal messages but it will not store their contents. There's no method of storing message contents I'm aware of although there's bound to be a third party solution that can...

    ROUTING PROBLEM

    Have you checked this document from the knowledge base: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;197869

    Information Store

    Is it a Windows 2000 domain? Also, have you checked to ensure that some of your TCP/IP ports aren't blocked? I only mention that because some recent security alerts have recommended people to block RPC ports

    What's Enable Message Tracking?

    It will not provide message contents only who sent the message, to whom, when it was sent, which gateways it went through (within your Exchange network) and that's about it. It's very useful for troubleshooting If you want to track messages going out of the company then you could try Message...

    running out of space and 9318 code 5 warnings

    Re: Disk space issues You could check under Diagnostics Logging on your IMS to ensure that Message Archival and SMTP Protocol Log are switched to None. These options can store loads of text files on your server You could also check to see how many days of tracking.log's are being stored on...

    distribution list

    Spam is 1. Unsolicited 2. Commercial 3. Sent in large quantities The biggest issue is is the first one, will the people being sent the e-mail expect to receive it. If they don't then you can expect your ISP to get complaints and you could possibly get black listed. If the content of the...

    Folder access to shared outlook folder list

    I've just had a chance to test adding User permissions on my site like I described above and it does work here. Have I misunderstood the problem BTW, here's the MSKB document advising the same method: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;184573

    Requesting data from microsoft exchange

    It does sound like your server is rather under-powered As to why one user is getting hit more than others, I'm not sure. I would guess that the user probably has more mail than anyone else and probably has most of it stored in their Inbox folder. This could mean that the server gets pummeled...

    Requesting data from microsoft exchange

    Are you sure this same problem isn't happening to your other users? I have seen this problem before however this slow-down happened for everyone. I guess it's more noticeable on XP because of the 'Requesting Data' box. Maybe your troublesome user could try this on a none XP machine, I guess...
