   Hi Folks,

   We have a customer who managed to corrupt their Exchange 2K3 databases due to
   a dirty shutdown. We've got the databases back for them now, but some users
   have email(s) in their Inbox that are unreadable, and cannot be deleted,
   marked as read etc. We've ran all the usual 'fixes' but these emails refuse
   to go away. I presume this mail was either in the process of being delivered,
   or open at the time the server went down and are thus corrupt, any ideas of
   how we can clear them out of the database?

   Thanks all

Thanks for the quick reply James.



Shift+Delete doesn't work, I'd tried that already! I downloaded mfcmapi and
tried that, and got the following error, and the emails are still there.





Warning:

Any ideas?

You might be done :) it's not uncommon to see this type of behavior after
corruption. Maybe try moving the mailbox and skipping corrupted items.

Here's something that worked for me when I had a run of similar problems on an
E2003 server: have the user try to move the messages to a .pst file.  If that
works, it will get the messages out of the database.

Typically, it isn't something wrong with the Information Store, but with
something else in the environment.

What's going on with your storage?

Crank up some diagnostic logging and wait for it to occur again and see if any
more info comes up in app logs. Also try stopping any AV services when this
occurs.

Can you define "usual 'fixes'" in greater detail as isinteg should help
with things like this.



In some scenarios, logging in through OWA to delete those emails work
where a MAPI client does not.

Thanks for the quick reply James.

Shift+Delete doesn't work, I'd tried that already! I downloaded mfcmapi
and
tried that, and got the following error, and the emails are still there.

Warning:

Hi Folks,

We have a customer who managed to corrupt their Exchange 2K3 databases

Hi Mike,



We'd run isinteg etc. Just this morning we got the users to log on via OWA -
they don't normally use it and we had to 'explain' how to use it - and they
have managed to delete them through that means.



Thanks to everyone for their help in this matter

We have been observing some strange behavior recently with our clients
accessing PF stores.

We have a mixed Exchange 2003/Exchange 2007 environment right now with
Exchange servers in various geographical locations.

There are no PF stores on Exchange 2007.

There are Riverbed Steelheads optimizing WAN traffic between locations.

We have been receiving calls from our WAN engineers saying "there are
a ton of RPC connections from all over the world connecting on port
58599 to the Exchange server in Geneva". Then the next day ""there are
a ton of RPC connections from all over the world connecting on port
1200 to the Exchange server in Zurich". Etc.

These client connections eat up all their Steelhead sessions and ruin
optimization.

When we examine the connections, it turns out that there are a bunch
of logons on the "victim" Exchange server's PF store from clients all
over the world - NYC, Amsterdam, Dublin, Sydney, Miami, etc.

It seems that they are all connecting to the "victim" Exchange server
for OAB downloads or Free/Busy. There is really no other PF replicas
for example on a Zurich Exchange server that the clients from Miami
may be possibly connecting to.

But why aren't they connecting to the OAB or Free/Busy replicas right
on their own Miami Exchange server?

have you reviewed ms kb: 273479 ?

If you had public folder stores on your Exchange 2007; it would make probably
explain issue as you can run into PF referal issues as 2003 uses routing groups
to determine PF referals while 2007 no longer uses RG info. How long has this
gone on etc prior to your migration or during the course? How did you determine
that it's your FB and OAB?

1. You are sure no replicas exist on your 2007 servers?
2. What part of your environment is still 2003? Public folder servers and...
3. All your 2003 and 2007 mb stores are pointing to Exchange 2003 PF stores?

We don't have any PF stores on Exchange 2007 servers. All our
Exchange 2007 mailbox servers are CCRs.

I think this has something to do with referrals, but I can't put my
finger on it. Plus - why would there need to be a referral when
there is a local replica?

I cranked up PF store diagnostic logging on the victim of the swarm
and saw that a lot of the clients were connecting to the Free/Busy
and OAB PFs.

All Mailbox stores (both Ex2003 and Ex2007) are respectively
pointing to the local PF stores on Exchange 2003.

We have 30 Exchange 2003 servers in various locations (Miami, NYC,
SanFran, Toronto, Amsterdam, Dublin, Geneva, Zurich, Sydney, Nassau,
Curacao, etc).
We started deploying Exchange 2007 CCRs a few months ago and now
have them in NYC, Toronto, Geneva, Curacao, Singapore.

I wasn't 100% correct. We do have an Exchange 2007 server that is
not a CCR cluster - someone requested an Exchange 2007 server as a
sandbox for developers, so we installed a regular Mailbox/CAS one on
a VMWare virtual machine.

It does have a PF store.

I have a situation where the stores on a certain drive were taking up too
much disk space.  Instead of running an offline defrag I started moving
mailboxes to other stores on other drives.

During the same time I had problems with my back unit.  It was telling me
that Third store was corrupt and wouldn't complete a backup so my logs grew.

All I want to do is finishing moving the remaining mailboxes about 10 (32GB
of mail) and delete the store and then recreate and move mailboxes back.

My hope was that the delete of the store would let the backups run, cleaning
up the logs.

Questions:
Are the number of logs related to the size of the mailbox moved?
If I just move the third store to another drive would it include all the
whitespace or would it only take the mailboxes?
I only have 3GB on the log drive would it make more sense to stick on a
150GB usb drive and move the logs there temporarily until I can move the
mailboxes?

Sorry for the rambling but its been a long night.

Thanks for all the help.

PS the other drives in  the server do not ahve enough space for the logs or
the stores.

A] yes



B] all the whitespace is included. It's just a file copy.



C] If a USB drive is fast enough. USB is pretty darn slow, but it's likely
better than running out of disk space.

There is an Exchange 2003 list here in Yahoo! now, you know!

AFAIK, the storage violation is calculated during store maintenance.  Is
store maintenance completing nightly (according to the event log)?  Is your
notification scheduled to fire after that?

I am transitioning to Exchange 2007 from Exchange 2000.  We have the
new server up and running, all mailboxes and public folders have been
moved.  I was following an article on this site to decomission the
E2K server and got to the point where I would unisntall E2K.  When I
run the setup and choose remove I get the following message:

[quote]
The component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration
Services" cannot be assigned the action "Remove" because:
-Setup is unable to access the Windows 2000 Active Directoy
-Failed to contact the Schema Master Server for the Active Directory
forest.
[/quote]

This box is still a DC, but all of the FSMO roles have been
transfered off to new W2K3 servers during this transistion.  I read
somewhere that if Exchange was installed on a DC you needed to remove
it before demoting the box.  Could it be that I needed to wait to
migrate the FSMO roles until after removing E2k, too?

Any ideas?

In the Exchange server properties in ESM, you can hard-wire specific domain
controllers to talk to instead of talking to itself. One of the problems with
co-located Exchange and AD is that Exchange never wants to talk to another
domain controller.

I don't remember if you can override that behavior manually, but it's worth a
try; lock in the values for the new domain controller and see how it works. If
it doesn't, then move the FSMO back and give the uninstall another try.

Hi everyone,

Our company president recently got a DASH from t-mobile with  the data plan -

The outlook keeps timing out   and the internet service goes out-

I have contacted the carrier  they have sent me a new phone - still the same
issue

I contacted the carrier again they sent me to the stoe to get a new sim card-
and still the same issue

I don't know what to do at this point, we are in NYC  so  signal strength is
always good,   just last night she had to restart the phone  4 times to get
outlook working again.

I don't know what else to do the phone is running WM6

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks,


J

Hi Guys,



We have an Enterprise customer who is moving from their own Exchange 2000
environment to a kind of hosted solution (NHS Mail for anyone who is familiar
with that!). The problem is, with 2000+ users / mailboxes they all various
access to different peoples mailboxes, calendars, distribution lists etc.



Does anyone know of a tool / app that we can run against the Exchange servers
to find out who has access to what, is a member of which group etc etc?



This is not just a simple Exchange to Exchange migration, there are many more
hoops we have to jump through.



Any help appreciated

Hi all,

Its been a LONG time since I implemented the owa redirect (exchange 2003
windows 2003) and frankly based on the article I do not know if it "can work"
again.

After 5 years of it running flawlessly I had to implement citrix, after the
citrix installation (which works great ), users now have to manually type
https to get to our OWA page.

I have redone the steps for  redirecting http to https   but it does not seem
to work- I followed this article to a T

http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Securing-Exchange-Server-2003-Outlook-Web
-Access-Chapter5.html

and still users have to type https://fcimail.org might this have something to
do with it  from the KB article for redirecting;


*Note:  If you have additional content on the default web site of your
Exchange server and/or host other websites, be aware that after completing
this step, requests to the default website will result in automatic
redirection to the /exchange virtual directory.  Make sure that you
understand the impact of this change.


Anyone can shed some light I would appreciate it

Thanks

J
