Re-reading your question I see you do indeed mean that.

 

To only allow the user to recieve internal mails go into ADUC, then the

Properties of the user in question | Exchange General | Delivery

Restrictions | Accept Messages

 

To stop the user from sending messages out, two options can be used.

 

1. Give the user a bogus non routable address so they can still send out,

but no one can reply ( my personally least preferred way).

 

2. Disallow the user from sending out to the Internet on the SMTP connector

in ESM, First Administrative Group | Routing Groups | Connectors | default

SMTP Connector | Delivery Restrictions | Add them to 'Reject Messages From'

The first place is to find out what the NDR they receive has to say.

If that doesn't help, then move to the SMTP Protocol Log, but look for

status codes in the 5xx range. Those are permanent failures. If you

don't find them, do you find any 4xx status codes?

 

Are there any devices or software between your Internet connection and

your Exchange server's SMTP Virtual Server? Are you grey listing?

Using DNS RBLs? Blacklisting?

 

If you don't find anything like the above, start checking for timeouts

in the SMTP Protocol Log. Disconnections might be involved, too. Do

you see complete SMTP transactions, or are they stopping after, say,

the MAIL FROM command (or the RCPT TO command)? You may need a network

monitor to work with these.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any of those messages

being rejected. Each status is a 2xx.

 

Since each of the RCPT TO command is /to/ your domain, and your SMTP

log shows them being received by your server, why would you think

they're being rejected by hotmail or aol? Both of those ISP are

sending the messages, not receiving them.

Why do you want to enforce limits? If you enforce limits what are the

users going to do with the email they can't bring themselves to

delete? Users are all the same, they love to keep stuff and if you

won't let them store it in Exchange they'll just use PST files. If

they use PST files they'll either keep them on the PC and blame you

when they screw up or they'll keep them on the file server and blow

your storage sky high.

 

Anyway the answer to your question is that your limit is 75GB in

Standard Edition which I'm guessing is what you have. 65 users and

75GB of mail isn't a bad number to work to.

 

Not terribly keen about the hard drive though. Backups, resiliency,

protection on that?

Nobody participating in these forums is qualified to quote licensing terms

on behalf of Microsoft. Please contact your Microsoft representative or

reseller, and/or check out the Microsoft Exchange licensing page:

http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/howtobuy/default.mspx#EIC

 

Have you referred to Microsoft's licensing web site? If you talk to various

people authorized to quote licensing terms to you and you get different

answers, then my advice would to accept the advice that's most favorable to

you.

It depends. Because the recommendation is that the pagefile be equal to

the amount of RAM in the system, and you can put a lot of RAM in the system,

you may want to or even need to dedicate a drive to it.

Do you mean the File As field? That's a per-item thing. The default is Last,

First, and that makes the most sense to most people. If you mean the display

order, that's somethng they each need to set in their own Outlook or PDA.

The problem with what you're doing is that your management now has a static

copy of data that your company may wish to change over time. This won't be a

very scalable or supportable method going forward. If they want shared data,

use a public contacts folder, and to get that into their PDAs, look into

www.diditbetter.com for Add2Exchange.

CSVDE cannot be used to change anything. LDIFDE can do that.

The GAL is the GAL. If you want to follow the article and do another

GAL then you can use an attribute to filter out users. I'm fairly sure

(no 2003 image up and running at the moment) that like with Rcipient

Policies, you can't reliably use OUs and would need to select an

attribute on the security principal (user/contact etc.)

Sounds like a plan if you've got the support calls available in your

contract/plan.

When you talk to them don't focus on the users or anything like that.

Stay on the permissions and how best you will manage who gets what

view, and in what client.

I strongly urge you not to create a new GAL. It's a support nightmare.

The stats that Microsoft PSS produced some years ago made a few people

go pale, really.

 

There are just so many ways to change the information in AD. All you

need to do is to change the display name.

 

And that article isn't even the answer to the question you asked.

The GAL doesn't exist as its own entity. It's a function of AD. Change

the display name in AD and you change the GAL.

If you know all about ldap then get on with it. Quickest would

actually to use CSVDE to haul everything out, use excel to edit it and

then haul it all back in again.

You can't edit the GAL to do that. There is such a thing as an

"Address List" which can be shown as a separate folder under the GAL.

It all depends on what you want to do and more importantly why.

How about a Public Folder containing Task items.

 

Never seen Dynamics.

There are a few articles knocking about but this:

http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Understanding-External-Associated-Account-Windows-Server-2003-Exchange-2003.html

gets good hits and ratings.

That's just the display name. Change that to display it the other ay

around. It's one of those things that you needed to do up front rather

than after the fact.

Just wondering if you can do a mass change with admodify.net......
