Because E2K3 is still present in the routing group there should be a

Routing Group Master. E2K7 doesn't use Routing Groups. You can ignore

that error (unless you have other E2K3 servers).

No, that's remarkable in its absence. You can use a particular account as a

template when creating a new account, or apply using a command and have it

run on a schedule.

True enough. I tend to suggest the simplest option for the users.

Making the LDIFDE is a bit of a nause. That's best for pulling a load

of information out, editing it and importing it again into a different

forest or some other scenario. Making a fresh ldf file from scratch

ain't real pretty.

Sure. Google for CSVDE which will let you add all of them in one fell

swoop from a simple CSV file. All you have to do is get the headings

right and you'll be fine.

Ah, ok. So the mail still comes in, you just cant get to it from the

office.

But why couldnt you get to it via OWA or RPC over HTTPS from another

location other than the office?

All those OOF messages! :-)

Without guidance, how does the Bayesian filter learn?

 

Statistical filters work well for individuals. For enterprises, not so

well. One person's spam is another one's mailing list. IOW, don't

place a large dependence on this technique, no matter what the

proponents say. The tokenizer is the key part of statistical filters.

What parts of the message will be used as tokens? What parts of images

will participate? Is whitespace the boundary for words? Or does the

tokenizer chop the message into fixed sized chunks (say, five

characters)? Do the tokens overlap? Important questions if you have to

deal with written languages that don't depend on whitespace to

separate words. :-)

Slow? They'll stop it if you're not careful.

So your internal network is behind two devices which are each doing NAT?

Is it stil within the deleted item retention time? If so, then they

should still be recoverable. Google for DumpsterAlwaysOn.

 

If using Exch 2003, use the Recovery Storage Group otherwise.

That sounds like an issue with the external DNS, so hopefully if you get

that "does not match" thing sorted out you'll be good to go.

 

You can try Start -> Run -> Outlook.exe /rpcdiag, which will bring up a box

telling you what's going on with the RPC connection. I've never gotten any

useful information from it, but my problems have been certificate-based.

Yours sounds like networking, so maybe you'll have better luck.

 

I'm going to be away with no web access until Tuesday, so hopefully someone

else can post some suggestions if you don't get it working in the morning.

Add a new address and set it as primary. I don't believe that you must

It means someone made some change to the setting outside the Delegation

Wizard. Permissions are permissions; what you see in Exchange System

Manager reflect what's in Active Directory but ESM shows rights as Exchange

roles. "Customized" means that the rights aren't an exact match for a role.

If custom permissions were applied via the security tab or via

adsiedit rather than ESM , theyll show as custom in ESM.
