Link Dump / Exchange :: ROKUS.NET ::

Tips for Disaster Recovery: From the EHLO team, a couple of tough questions to ask:

1) Which one is more important to my users: Restoration of Mail Flow or Recovery of Historical Data?
2) How long can we afford to be down with out any Mail Flow?
3) How long can we afford to be down with no Historical Data Recovered?
4) If Historical Data is our top priority at what point does Mail Flow become more important and vice versa?

WINS and Exchange: Scenarios where Exchange 2003/Exchange 2000 still require NetBIOS/WINS name resolution:

· The Exchange Server 2003 Setup program and the Exchange 2000 Server Setup program, especially on clustered servers.
· Exchange Mailbox Merge Wizard (ExMerge) on an Exchange 2003 computer and on an Exchange 2000 computer.
· Changing a password for an Exchange 2003 mailbox or an Exchange 2000 mailbox through Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA).
· Exchange System Manager on an Exchange 2003 computer and on an Exchange 2000 computer.
· Microsoft Outlook clients that are earlier than Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 also require NetBIOS name resolution.

Exchange 2003 SP2: Unless you were buried under a rock, you already knew this was published. Make sure to check the release notes before installing.

Hidden Features of OWA: More from the EHLO team. Favorites:

· Putting an = in front of the e-mail alias that you are trying to resolve when composing a mail will automatically resolve it to any exact matches.(Outlook, too!)
· Sort on multiple columns at once by holding down shift and clicking on the column headers you want to sort on.

Exchange Server Management Pack: "Provides a graphical user interface to configure Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003 Management Pack, including test mailboxes, message tracking, and monitoring services." Nuff said.

Exchange Disaster Recovery Analyzer (ExDRA): "...designed for administrators who need to troubleshoot database mounting issues."

Exchange Performance Troubleshooting Analyzer (ExPTA): "...designed for administrators who need to determine the root cause of Exchange Server performance issues"

MS Webcast: Setup and Deployment Changes "...discuss the changes made to the local computer and to Active Directory by the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 setup process, and how its deployment differs from Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server." Includes link to download (rather than stream).

Exchange 2003 Common Criteria Certification: EAL 4 + Systematic Flaw Remediation. If your eyes just glazed over, don't bother clicking.

Since I own the domain name for a couple more years, and the hosting was paid-in-advance, it's still here. But I've moved on to Hawaii, and no longer have the need to publish all the sorts of neat stuff that made up the contents of this website.

If you've linked to me, you are invited to unlink, as your readers will no longer be presented with new content. Thanks, Steve
