  How to move items from one profile to a local storage to free up space under this profile?

  Hi MartySlaught,

  ·         You want to move the files in your user account on a different medium (external hard drive)?

  If so, you can do this only for your personal files. You can refer to the following.

  a. make sure that your external USB hard drive or a USB flash drive is connected to your computer.

  b. open the directory on your computer where are the files you want to transfer. Press 'Ctrl' key and click each file you want to transfer.

  c. click on the option "Move selected files" on the left side of the window. Then select the external USB hard disk or USB flash drive. The files will be moved from the computer to the external hard drive.

• Voice on Exchange 2003 Cluster connector?

  I have a small question regarding to where to install a voice connector.

  We currently have a voice connector installed on a stand-alone server Exchange 2003 (running Windows 2000 Server).

  It is configured to connect to our bridge of unity via VPIM server.

  We want to install the connector on the voice on our Exchange 2003 Cluster (two Exchange servers, running Windows 2003 Server) if possible.

  The problems for me this or not do this? Or is it better to keep it on a stand-alone Exchange Server?

  I don't know since we are talking about two Exchange servers configured in a cluster and there may be additional licenses involved, etc..

  Thank you

  It seems that the implementation of bridge on a cluster is not supported by Microsoft.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/voice_ip_comm/bridge/31/Networking/Guide/31ex_5x/31cubnetex.html

  Implementation of voice for the network bridge connector

  "Install the connector of the votes on any Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 server that is not part of an Exchange cluster (Microsoft doesn't support connectors from third on an Exchange cluster server)." Although the voice connector can be installed on the Cisco Unity Server (when Exchange is also on the server), it is not recommended for performance reasons. "

  A vueltas con los procesadores....
  
  Lo primero, ¿que tasa de carga tiene el procesador inicial?, si la máquina va mal con un Xeon PIII@900, el que se ejecute en un core de un X5500 no va a resolver gran cosa si es por tema de rendimiento (obiamente va mejor, pero no el doble de mejor)
  
  Si la máquina original (pongamos un DGaviion con 2 Xeon PII 300 y 256 de ram con NT Enterprise) tiene 2 procesadores, echando cuentas deberian tener 300+300 y por lo que he leido hasta aqui, un core de cualquier procesador actual debaría valer.
  La realidad es que si esa máquina (me da igual el procesador, el sistema operativo y la ram que tenga) se cambia a menor en alguno de los componentes físicos, lo lógico es que pierda rendimiento, aunque corra en un hp blade 680 G7 (4 hexacores).
  
  En principio y salvo muy raras excepciones yo siempre virtualizo 1 a 1. (en las excepciones entran los procesadores HT y solo respeto los cores en la serie P4-478) con lo que pongamos el primero de los procesadores, Xeon de PIII a 900, que en un 2003 representa 4 cores en 2 pastillas. En este caso le virtualizo a 2 vcpu y pruebo su rendimiento. En los casos en los que son xeon PIV a 2000 por ejemplo (sin HT) en 2 pastillas, se quedaría igual, con 2 vcpu.
  
  Al igual que en un ESX, el tema de las cpu en la VM es delicado porque pueden tener aplicaciones y servicios multihilo a los que el KB de microsoft no les afecta para nada (oracle es un buen ejemplo, cristal reports, GIS, y alguna mas). Y ademas, las herramientas de inventario como puede ser el capcity (de vmware o de m$) o perfmon suelen registrar poco o nada de esto ya que los servicios arrancan incluso antes que el monitorizador o el servicio wim (y no digamos que caiga una consulta en ese momento) por lo que puedes tener en apariencia una máquina física muy sobredimensionada, que al reducirla durante su virtualización caiga por su propio peso.
  
  Y dicho esto, recojo y me voy de vacaciones :)
  Ahi queda.

• Virtualization of Exchange 2003

  We are about to start (finally) virtualization of our systems.  One of these systems is a Standard Exchange 2003 on Windows 2003, using DAS server and serves about 600 boxes mailbox (if users concurrent max would be around 200 users).  Current physical area includes 3 disks, C, D and E.  C is for system D is application/newspapers and E is for banks to information (only 2 - public and private).

  After reading the various articles and best practices I came with a plan.  Could you get it someone please let me know if it is a good idea?

  In a test environment first of all (with DC operation), separated from the production network:

  Plan of P2V is the current physical Exchange box using VMware Converter Standalone.   Each physical disk would be converted to a virtual disk.  It will implement a SAN to shared storage iSCSI.  Thought create LUNS separate D and E drives, just don't know if this is necessary.  All Exchange and protection antiviruss services will be stopped during the P2V.  I tried to make a cold-clone, but don't know if I can due to the fact that we won't have a VMware enterprise license.

  Once that P2V is complete, power to the top of the new virtual machine.  Remove any vendor (HP Insight) specific applications and drivers.  Then, start the Exchange services and test.

  If successul, process document, repeat the test and before you run on the production system.  Once final, production VM is created, physical stop and turn on VM again.

  If you're ok with the unsupportability of the solution, then I say go ahead and virtualize it.  I still believe that deploying a new server and migrate the mailboxes are the cleanest way to do but to understand the limitations it.  All the more that I would recommend if you could back migration to Exchange 2010 rather than another server in 2003.  There is no direct upgrade from Exchange 2003 to 2013 path so you will need to go to Exchange 2010 in a first time in any case.  Might as well get ready now.

  Migration is easier because then you're not taking all issues with the server of your virtual infrastructure.  It is also pointless to worry about uninstalling the hardware drivers, of unnecessary software, etc.

  I had some success with P2V migration running on Exchange servers.  As I said earlier, you will have the best chance of success if you can organize the downtime to stop all of the Exchange during the P2V services.  That's how I managed in the past.

  Do your homework and understand what works best for you.  I'm sure you can succeed with two approaches.

  Good luck!  Feel free to come back and post how things went or if you need any help.

• Exchange 2003 / 2010 on vshpere foundation 4.1

  We are a small organization with 60 mailboxes on a physical server to Exchange 2003.  My VMWare environment consists of 710 2-Dell servers with 32 GB of ram and vmfs volume unique raid 10 on each server.  There is no SAN and this seems to serve us well, even if a San would make things like Vmotion and HA as possible, that's what we have at the moment.

  Ideally I would like to move the exchange Server 2003 on a VM host and continue to use this platform for another year or two, but there seems to be problems of performance that are best addressed in the 2010 version.

  Would it not possible to run Exchange 2003 on one of my servers host with the VMFS volume shared using storage for databases and log files?   What I do need to provide some physical drives dedicated for exchange databases, or is there any recommended configuration: for the virtual drives for a small exchange on VMWare Server?

  Jim

  From a disk I / IO perspective if you have only 60 users, I don't think that you will have problems even if you use Outlook in Mode online (as opposed to the Cached Mode).  In addition, there are a few things you should think about to / consider:

  (1) Exchange 2003 is not supported in a machine virtual on a hypervisor/platform. You can't get support from Microsoft if you are running Exchange 2003 in a VM on vSphere, Hyper-V, whatever it is.  I've had clients essentially turned almost immediately without even best effort support for Microsoft.  I'm not sure of the importance of technical support Microsoft for you, but for many of my clients, the risk is not worth...  Customers choose to migrate to Exchange 2010 (or 2007 for years before) that supports virtualization complete.

  Microsoft has created the program (SVVP) Validation of virtualization server to validate their applications running on virtual machines on multiple platforms.  I would check that out to see exactly what is and is not supported all the way back to Exchange 5.5 If you can believe it.

  http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/SVVP.aspx?svvppage=svvpwizard.htm

  (2) Exchange 2010 offers big improvements over Exchange 2003 in more than a reduction of inputs and outputs.  There are so many new features of the product that it is useful to consider migrating directly to Exchange 2010.

  If you really want to virtualize it, I would follow advice from design even for physical Exchange 2003 servers.  You don't need the physical disks dedicated to the database/log, but you may want dedicated virtual disks for easy management.  In addition, you can just follow normal recommended or even existing P2V your Exchange Server.

  So to sum up - Yes you can virtualize Exchange 2003 and as small as your environment, it should run perfectly, but it is not supported by Microsoft.  I would consider an upgrade to Exchange 2010 as preferred approach if possible.

• Exchange 2003 Server kept receiving unknown Email sending out through SMTP and the paper jam in the queue folder

  Hello Sir,

  I have a problem with one of my SBS Exchange 2003 servers.

  At first, I was getting a lot of 3008 errors for a non-delivery report with a status code of 5.0.0 was generated for recipient rfc822; address email is removed from the privacy * all these repeated error messages from the event log, SMTP and Exchange Routing service...

  I looked around and discovered more than 10000 .eml in my x:\program files\exchsrv\mailroot\queue folder.  At first, I thought that my server or one of my workstations was compromised, but all workstations have local antiviral software (symantec endpoint protection), my server software also has antiviral and I have a mail server antivirus (symantec endpoint protection).  I scanned all of the computers on the network and even tried almost all of them closing to see if new entries have been created in the queue.

  Unfortunately, more than entries kept by appearing so I kept looking.  By opening one of the .eml, I discovered my own responsibility that I attach to outgoing emails if I have my server acted as a mail relay.  I checked for this and I have been clean.  I kept searching in the .eml and discovered different origins IPs of the Internet.  Am I right to assume that my mail server is BOMBED or attacked with emails with false return addresses and my mail server sends return NDR for spammers/compromised machines on the net?  I tried to stop the exchange services and tried to rename the vsi file 1 to something else as one of the suggested MSKB, but the file was protected.  How can I stop this, it's slowing down my mail server and fill out my HD.  I can't block the IP to shippers because it comes from everywhere.  Help!  There are about 2 to 5 new .eml created every minute!

• Outlook 2007 is limitation of message size, although there is no restriction of message on the Exchange 2003 server.

  When one of my users trying to reach a 50 MB file to an e-mail message, Outlook 2007 immediately appears with the following message: the attachment size exceeds the allowable limit.  The user is not even allowed to attach the file such as Outlook it immediately blocked.  We have a 10 MB limit for messages that leave the organization.  This user has attempted to send the file to another Member of our Organization. In Outlook 2003, we are able to send 50 MB files to another without problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? I wonder if there is a setting in Outlook 07 which limits the size of an attachment. The confusing part is that he was not yet able to attach the file.

  Hello

  1 you need to set the maxRequestLength value in the web.config file to a value greater than 50 MB. The maxRequestLength value in the web.config file is a parameter ASP.NET prevents applications greater than a certain length that has been added to prevent DOS attacks. He is set to 30 MB by default and must be increased in order to send attachments more than 30 MB. This could also be declined to enforce a lower limit.

  2. you need to increase the MaxSubmitMessageSize which is a property of the mailbox of readonly (MaxSubmitMessageSize = 0x666D0003) and this is where we reach the limit of 10 MB.

  It is read from the following locations:

  1. First reading of the object the user mailbox
  2. If not found as indicated by "unlimited", Transport Settings Container
  3. If not found as indicated by "unlimited", Org (read default Org container) container

  To set the value, use the following tasks in the Exchange Management Shell:

  1 set-transportconfig MaxSendSize (this is KBS) and then assign 51200 for 50 MB attachments. This will put it to all users

  Or

  2 set-mailbox and set the MaxSendSize (this is KBS) to 51 200 for attachments of 50 MB forspecific to a set of users.

  Once you set or the other, you must recycle store or not access to the mailbox for 15-20 minutes (to allow to store the cache expire) so that the change in size to have effect. In addition, the property is stored in AD and submitted to replication delays.

  One last thing that you should be aware of (sorry, the list will just):

  We have a timeout of 60 minutes for any attachment request or download attachment query (in OWA basic and Premium). So if you try to download an attachment 50 MB on a 56 Kbps connection, you will then expire and get a HttpWebException (e.g., the max upload is about 25 MB on a 56 Kbps connection).

  So, to sum up, there are two keys to send a large attachment:

  1 ASP.NET change web.config settings.

  2 modify the MaxSendSize using the set-TransportConfig (for all users) or Set-Mailbox for individual users.

  And you must

  3 ensure that the total download time will be less than 60 minutes (depending on your size and the speed of your network link)

  The web.config change is immediate, but the MaxSendSize change takes time, because of the caching strategy (the letter box, DSAccess deadlines and delays in replication cache).

  Examples:

  Changes to Web.Config

  By default, web.config under OWA virtual directory (Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\Owa) will have the following entry (by default, the maximum request size is about 30 MB):

  ....

  Change to where X is the value you want in KBs. 50 MB, X will be of approximately50000

  Change the size limit of messages by user

  Go in the Exchange Management Shell and type the following command:

  Set-mailbox - id: "username" - MaxSendSize:50000

  Where "username" is the identity of the mailbox. This will set the limit to send message to about 50 MB. You need to restart the store to see the effect immediately.

  Change the size limit for messages of all users

  Go in the Exchange Management Shell and type the following command:

  -Set-transportconfig MaxSendSize: 50000

  This will set the limit to send message to about 50 MB. You need to restart the store to see the effect immediately.

• Unity 4.0 (2) and /ForestPrep for Exchange 2003

  We plan to upgrade our Active Directory in Windows Server 2000 and Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003 and Windows Server 2003 AD network. We currently have two unit 4.0 (2) servers (Unified Messaging) in two separate locations, each serving a different group of offices. All in all, we have more than 1,000 users in 5 different locations. All these users and locations upgrade to Windows 2003, Exchange 2003 and unity 4.0 (4) at the same time is not an option. Therefore, we would gradually migrate each location to Exchange 2003, Windows 2003 and unity 4.0 (4).

  I understand that unity 4.0 (4) is the recommended version to use with Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003, but I've also read in Cisco documentation as 4.0 (4) unit when running on Windows 2003 requires that you are already running Exchange 2003. What confronts a dilemma in that we have separate locations of mutiple supported by one server shared unity and we simply cannot risk all these sites simultaneously to unity 4.0 upgrade (4), Server 2003, and Exchange 2003. So, what would be the best strategy to go where we want to be? This brings me to the following questions:

  a. If we run / Exchange 2003 ForestPrep against our field now even if we are always unity 4.0 (2)?

  b. can we begin to introduce Exchange 2003 servers in each of our branches (administrative groups & routing Exchange) while staying at unity 4.0 (2) provided that these servers are not designated as a partner of unity and without voice mail server or connectors of the unit (for example, unity voice bridge connector) are on these servers?

  c. would make sense to upgrade the servers of the 4.0 unit (3) first and then move to unity 4.0 (4) once all the Exchange servers in all our branches have been improved in Server 2003 and Exchange 2003? This interim update seems to give us more flexibility in our path to upgrade its operating system to Microsoft Exchange server version requirements are less onerous

  Windows 2003 is not necessary for the 4.0 unit (4). Likewise, it is not recommended because there is evidence of the way in which Windows 2000 with the unit, but we do support Windows 2003 if the client really wants to use it. We ship the unit on Windows 2000 and that's what we recommend at this time. No functionality is lost under Windows 2000.

  Officially we do not support have all Exchange 2003 servers or even execution of ForestPrep if you have lower than 4.0 (3). That said, the only flaw we've never seen this is when the unit is connected under the local system or when the subscriber accounts are on Exchange 2003 servers. You wouldn't be the first customer to do so and it should be fine but really understand that it is not technically a Cisco tested and taken in charge of the configuration.

  Thank you

• Exchange 2003 FrontEnd Server Down, Bank of messages of the unit down.

  Hello

  The configuration of the Exchange 2003 environment with 1 Server frontend and backend (cluster) 2 servers. The Exchange FrontEnd server is down due to the problem of relay service. All outlook and exchange related services clients are point directly to the server main exchange. This cause of unity is unable to store voice messages in the exchange store. When subscribers call for unity, system will tell the Bank to the user messages are temporary offline. How re - configure the unit to make it appear the message store? Below is the version of the unit.

  Cisco Unity Version 4.0

  Build number 4.0 (3) SR 1

  Windows Server Version Microsoft Windows 2000 version 2195 (Service Pack 3)

  Pls advise.

  Thanking in advance for your help.
