Hello there,
I am still a newbie in managing Exchange 5.5 in my firm. I am reading up on it but NOT fast enough. We had a crisis yesterday and from some unknown reason, everyone in the office was not able to receive and send emails in and out of the office. Everyone was able to receive / send internal emails. They were able to connect to the Internet, which Exchange was down. I have attempted to reboot DNS/DHCP servers and the Exchange but no joy in bring Exchange back up. After resetting the router to the public switch on the network, Exchange was back up, so I assume the blockage is at the upper level of the OSI layer.
Since the server were down for more than 1/2 day, all the receive emails coming in must reside somewhere on the network. I’ve checked the Exchange Admin console and see that another Exchange server there. I really need your help with step by step instructions or (where to look) as to how to recover undelivered message while our Exchange server was down.
Thank you in advance.
