It can be done easily. Simply upgrade over the existing installation. Do be certain to immediately rerun the same service pack as your previous installation was at and any post sp hotfixes. Each Exchange server requires a license. If you have Standard you have to buy an Enterprise license for...

You can have the message delivered as an attachment to any account you specify using Exchange System Manager. A nondelivery report (NDR) message will be sent to the message sender. If you want a "catch-all" mailbox that will get any mail that's misaddressed and not generate an NDR...

You can use MailBasketMD from TurboGeeks. It will take all external email that arrives for nonexistent addresses and either delete them or move them to a catch-all mailbox. You can get more info at http://turbogeeks.com/products. Gary McDonnell http://turbogeeks.com

One cannot do what you're after the way you're trying to do it. May I suggest that you remove this user permanently from the distribution group in question, then create a second distribtuion group that has as members the first distribution group and the user in question. Name each group...

Whether or not Exchange is OK on a domain controller is dependent on the hardware involved. Basically, if Exchange is working well and the server CPU utilization is not high and the disks are not working overly hard you are better off just leaving it as is. Good luck! Gary McDonnell...

You can move the locations using Exchange System Manager. Drill down to your server in the Administrative Groups branch, select the storage group (usually there is just 1, called First Storage group), right click it and open up it's properties - you can move the files from there. However, it...

Start by looking at http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange. Fair warning - progamming server side enhancements to Exchange server is not trivial. Under no circumstances should development be done on your production Exchange system. Create a separate domain with Exchange and develop there. Good...

Your server may well be being used by a spammer to send spam. There are a number of ways this can be happening. One or more passwords to user accounts may have been cracked (especially the Administrator password), or your server may configured as an open relay. Good luck! Gary McDonnell...

Your Exchange server is generating the message. To confirm this look through the SMTP queues and you will find the message in a retry state. Good luck! Gary McDonnell http://turbogeeks.com Stop Spam With TurboGeeks Block & Tackle

What you want to do is turn off the ability to relay SMTP mail if one is authenticated. To do so use Exchange System Manager and drill down through the object tree to the Default Virtual SMTP Server. Right click the object and select the Properties. Change to the Access tab, click on the Relay...

The SmartHost are is indeed where you do this. You need to connect with the ISP's tech support to find out if they support this functionality on their servers. By the way - it is quite possible that it is not ComCast that is blocking your address, but that it is the ISPs and/or recipient mail...

Yes, it's possible. In Exchange System Manager just drill down to the Storage Group you want to move, right click it and select its properties, then change the location in the General tab of the database (and, if desired, the transaction logs). Both of the file (.EDB and .STM) must be moved to...

I absolutely love Exchange 2000/2003. We're running 2003 for development and testing on Windows 2003. It's great. We have had it up for about 2 months. We've had Exchange 2000 on Windows 2000 in production since it was first available and have been very happy with it as well. Gary McDonnell...

Go with #1 if at all possible. It's how Exchange is designed to work. If you put Exchange in the DMZ then you'll have to open up all sorts of ports to communicate between the users, Exchange and Active Directory. If you feel the need you can always put in an SMTP relay server in the DMZ. It can...

Don't do it. I've experimented with this quite a bit and there are just way too many ways to lose data. For example, if by some chance the network connection goes down or even just gets really slow you will corrupt the transaction logs, the information store will stop and you will probably end...

You can delete anything in the Badmail directory. If you want to automate it you can create a batch file that deletes everything in that directory and schedule it to run once per day. Emails in the BadMail directory are usually nondelivery reports sent by Exchange that cannot themselves be...

It's fine on the same partition. SMTP traffic will flow into the Exchange information store in any case. Best thing you can do is to get an Exchange-aware antivirus package. These are not file level antivirus scanners - they use the Exchange Antivirus API. Examples include Symantec's...

You have SMTP logging enabled in your Exchange System Manager. You may safely delete all of the files in this directory. Gary McDonnell http://turbogeeks.com

Just turn off the Exchange Internet Mail Service and no mail will be received. The sending servers will retry, usually for up to 72 hours (sometimes only 48) and after that will generate an NDR to the sender. Gary McDonnell http://turbogeeks.com

In a couple of the Exchange 2000 service packs there were fixes for the sort of problem you're seeing. What Exchange service pack are you on? The current SP for Exchange 2000 is SP3. Also, have you enabled SMTP logging and reviewed the logs? SMTP logging can be enabled in the Exchange system...
