can someone here help me setup/configure exchange server? I really have no idea but interested in doing so on my dedicated server.
I just want to know how to say, setup email accounts/web access.
Right now, just installed WS2003 EE R2 with updates and installing other things too like SQL Server 2005/AV/ISA Server
I take it I need to make the machine into a domain?
I have 2 IP Addresses assigned to me. and I have 2 domains, so I'm thinking about configuring each domain for an IP Address.
I would ideally like to have email addresses for both domains but going to test it on 1 domain first before proceeding onwards.
It would be appreciated if someone could just jot down on how to go about setting up Exchange, how to configure it...and pretty much it. I will be using Exchange 2003 Enterprise
Just today we started having some problems with our exchange server...everything was working fine until around 10:00 A.M this morning.
We've started getting sporadic reject messages from people that we have always been able to email in the past.
These are a few of the NDR's we've received.
There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator.
<mail.uaminc.com #5.5.0 smtp;550 not local host baronintl.com, not a gateway>

Theres more as well, but that pretty much sums up the main issues really....as I said, these were working fine for the last year, until today. No changes have been made on our exchange server.
We have GFI Mail essentials installed with SPF records turned on.
We have reverse dns setup through Time Warner Telecom for our IP.
I can send email to my hotmail address, but yahoo rejects it.
I've checked dnsstuff.com and dnsreport.com and we're not on any blacklists.
I'm not exactly sure where else to look.
These mail servers rejecting our email are not from just 1 ISP or 1 mail server, these are from companies in different states/countries.
My entire hosting life, I've been with Linux, so now that I'm looking to setup a Blackberry Enterprise Server account, things are very new to me.
Let me explain. I have a Blackberry and would like to setup a BES system such that I can get push email, calendar, and contacts for OTA syncing from my own personal.com
So, the question is, what sort of hosting package do I need to do this? And, will this cost a lot of money?
Again, I'm completely new to Windows hosting, so I'm not sure what I need and if it's even possible.
We are currently using Veritas BackupExec to backup our in-house Exchange Server. However, we ALWAYS get some type of error when using this program, whether its the "Advanced Open File" piece of the program, or just what it calls a "corrupt email," I'm fed up with it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a sub-$100 program that can backup everything Exchange (database, emails, etc.) and has open file protection (for backing up system files, etc.)?
I am trying to setup the trial of Exchange 2007, everything is installed. However, I am unable to connect to the SMTP server
Quote:
452 4.3.1 Insufficient system resources
Connection to host lost.
After googling around, I found the solution, I changed the settings xml file and now I have to restart the service but I can't seem to find the "Restart Service" option in the EXCHANGE MANAGEMENT CONSOLE?
Also, how secure is exchange by default - any guides/tips so I can secure this test environment?
Any 3rd party Anti-virus/worm/spam solutions for Exchange that are affordable instead of MS Forefront?
I have two questions that hopefully someone will be able to help me out with. The first, is my partner and I want to provide server redundancy for our clients. Our set-up is as follows: two identical servers with multiple virtual machines (about 4) on each. One for SQL, one for IIS, etc. We also have a ServerIron XL to connect the two together and provide replication and load balancing. So the question is, has anyone here used a ServerIron XL and how easy is it to use/how effective is it? The second question is, we would like to provide our clients with hosted Exchange. I have set up and maintained a few Exchange 2007 servers, but only for a single company with a single domain. What would be the best way to go about providing a hosted Exchange solution?
I have a client who needs a solid webhost that supports MS exchange server for his email.
I usually recommend Bluehost , but I guess they donât do this. Quick turnaround time on email tech issues (2-4 hours) and phone support is also needed. The client is definitely a phone person.
It should be Wordpress friendly. My CMS that I'm using is actually Textpattern, but most people don't know it so I just opt for the default popular version, Wordpress.
if I have a dedicated server with WS2003, would I be allowed to install my own software (with license)? such as MS SQL Server - I have an MSDN subscription and multiple licenses.... would this be ok to do so?
What about Exchange Server? I have a License for that also...again, MSDN subscription
I'm currently with Steadfast Networks for my VPS (Linux). We are now in need of shared MS Exchange Hosting plan. Although I found some companies offering Exchange Hosting, they do not offer VPS's. Does anyone knows of any reliable company offering both?
I want someone (well maybe except Rackspace) who is reliable, has good feedback and provides good uptime and customer service.
We've been buying our Microsoft licences retail which was fine when we were a lot smaller. But as we grow I was thinking about the joining the Microsoft services provider licence agreement.
Can anyone out there give me an idea if this is a worthwhile route to take for a managed services webhost? If so what are the requirements, we aren't a Microsoft partner, have no Microsoft certifications, etc.
What are the initial costs? What are the long term costs?
On of our clients use an MS Exchange 2003 SBS server, with exchange for their internal email. We provide them with a domain, ADSL (which uses dynamic DNS) and POP3 email. They don't have an spam filter program on the exchange server itself due to costs, so I have setup each user on the Exim server, which runs ASSPX for anti-virus / spam filter / etc.
Then I setup the SBS 2003 server to pull the email via POP3, but this doesn't seem to work too well, cause the exchange server doesn't always download the POP3 email, and then the users often sit without email until I go there to manually download the mail again.
I have tried changing the MX record to point to their DynDNS address, and it works well, but then they get a lot of spam. And the cost of a server-side spam solution is just too expensive, and they also pay for the bandwidth uses when spam comes in. So, I moved their MX record back to the Linux server. But now I sit with the problem of the POP3 connector failing from time to time.
So, I would like to know, is there a way to "push" (not forward) mail from the Linux server, after it has arrived and spam been blocked, to another domain, but with the same email address? i.e. the domain in question is attorneys.co.za and I've setup attorneys.dyndns.net as the dynamic domain, but the exchange serves email for attorneys.co.za Forwarding email doesn't work, since there's no such user as bob@attorneys.dyndns.net, but rather bob@attorneys.co.za.
Customer wants to move his website in-house along with his email. The hardware guy installed a windows 2003 64-bit exchange server. I logged in with logmein and created a directory c:Inetputwwwroot hewebsite. Copied iisstart.html to the new dir. Put the company name in the iisstart file. Opened IIS6. Went to properties of the default website and pointed to the new directory on the home dir page. Added iisstart.html the Documents page and moved it to the top. Closed everything. Opened Internet Explorer 7 and put in http://localhost. All worked well. Brought up the new start page. Opened IE7 on my pc and put there ip address in and it also brought up the new webpage (tested the port 80 in the router). Said we were ready to go.
The hardware guy sent me an email stating that he was having problems with the 64-bit version and took the server back to the 32-bit version of windows exchange server. I logged back in with logmein and followed the same exact steps as above but it will not show the new webpage. Am getting a page not found error.
I have done the above on several 2003 servers and several xp pro machines. Always works.
Have done one 2003 exchange server. Went to a couple of those servers and made sure the default website settings were exactly the same as the ones that work. Still no help.
Downloaded an iis6 troubleshooting program from microsoft but cannot locate the error. I have been studying the II6 documentation and 2003 exchange server documentation. Went thru all the tutorials in google on iis6 and exchange I can find no help.
Our company has recently invested in a Microsoft Small Business Server, we are moving all our email accounts to exchange server.
Our company runs a high profile website in Japan and we have a few email accounts that are downloaded by multiple staff, rather than have all staff download the same emails is it possible to have all emails forwarded to a public inbox where emails processed can be marked and ignored by other staff?
We do not want to forward the emails to user's personal inboxes, this seems to be the common solution for this type of email.
This might sound like a basic questions but we have trolled the internet for best practices in trying to set up this solution on exchange server but have not come across an answer.
I have a 2003 SBS server with about 50 users on exchange. It is a standalone DC - all the users connect with 'profiles' and 'docs' on the server and use exchange thru outlook..when they leave the office they VPN in and exchange works like a charm.
Problem is for a quick setup I've used the POP 3 connector and kept the emails hosted on my server - I want to get rid of the POP3 connector setup altogether and have mail delivered directly to the server.
Can someone give me a walk thru of steps to do this - so far I have fgured out that I have to add the domain to the recipient policy - configure it properly and then setup each user to receive email for that username and it will just work....
I want to be sure and was hoping that someone who has done the same thing could point me to an accurate tutorial of sorts.
I have built a server so I can co-locate it to be used for shared hosting. The specification is high, compared to most dedicated server offerings, so I was considering splitting it up into different virtual machines for different purposes. The specification is: Intel Xeon 3230 (4x 2.66ghz), 8GB DDR ECC RAM, Seagate Cheetah SAS 15,000rpm (4x 147GB), Adaptec RAID 5405 (RAID 6 Array with Battery Backup), Dual on-board NIC, etc.
The original plan was to use this machine as just one linux server, but I am concerned most of its potential will not be exploited. So I am exploring the possibility of setting it up as 2 Virtual Machines, installing Linux on one and Windows on the other. This way I can offer hosting for ASP and ASP.NET, and possibly MS SQL and/or Exchange depending on costs for their licences.
What Microsoft licences are suitable for servers used for shared hosting? From what I can gather there are several ways of being licenced, but I can't figure out which is the most cost effective. It seems you buy the server OS edition that supports your requirements, then pay another licence per user (CAL?) - I haven't got a clue how many users I will need to have though. Then if you want to use MS SQL, DNS or Exchange you need the correct edition - and buy licences for these too.
Does anyone know roughly what I should be looking to pay for what? I would ideally like to have MS SQL, DNS and Exchange - but am aware that the licence could be so expensive that it wouldn't be worth doing.
Most people probably run Linux on their media servers, but since I don't know much about Linux and the media server we have is unmanaged, I was wondering how you guys feel about running Windows Server 2003 Std on a media server instead of Linux. We'll only be using the server to host Flash video files (.flv) and we'll be serving those vids on websites hosted on other servers, resulting in approx. 50,000-100,000 media views per day (filesizes range from approx. 5MB to 10MB). We don't want to run Windows Media Services, just a Web server (IIS6) and have the Flash video players on the external websites take care of the streaming/downloading part.
I currently have one dedicated server and four VPSs all using Plesk and all having their own name servers controlled by Plesk. What I'd like to do is consolidate everything so all my sites use one set of name servers.
I'm a PHP developer (and will be developing my own front end), and only have limited knowledge of administrating a server, so first of all if anyone has done this before and made mistakes in the process, please could you share them with me so I can avoid making them?
Secondly, I would like to use a MySQL database for storing the DNS info - I've found a tutorial at [url]which I'd like to use - could someone who knows what they're talking about have a skim through this and reassure me that everything there is correct and up to date (the article was written in early 2006 - just checking nothing in the world of DNS has changed since)?
I've a production server running web,smtp, ftp, cpanel...
Now I need to run different solutions on the same server (like PABX, games), of course I can't put all on the same place (to better control security, resource usage etc..) Is it possible to install xen without affecting my production environment? It would be a good choice doing that?
I want to start up my web server again. I have Windows XP hosting my web server right now. and, it's slow. Should i stick with Windows, run IIS and use httpZip from Port80? I really like microsoft, and don't want to change and adapt to something else. give me advice
Or, should I run Linux I would run Linux on it, but I don't know how. And they have different version of Linux. Example Redhat, Ubuntu etc. Which one should I go for?
Also, what do I do if I have a netgear ethernet card? Is that Linux? Is it compaitable with Redhat?
And last question, what do I use for security? I'm a hacker, yeah.. I know what all people can do to websites. How do I stop them? DoSing, Cross Scripting, XML Attacks, MySql Injection.. Etc.
why not just setup my own server. I have the connection and hardware necessary. So I am wondering why do people pay for web hosting? Why not just run your own website from your own server?
setting up a server running ZFS as a backup server. My only problem is that it's very new to me, and naturally I'm skeptical of it's redundancy capabilities etc, I don't want to get burned. Anyone used ZFS, what's your experience with it?
I'm a flight Sim Buffer, I use Microsoft flight simulator X Delux, I also have real flying hours under my belt too.
My Question is, what would I need to have FSX running 365 days of the year with upto 100 Connections at all times from it, plus teamSpeak?
Should I Rent a gaming server and allow my costs to increase, which taking into account I have three children, would be quite hard? Or is there a Gaming server service that I can use?
Any help would be great, also I picked this topic, and I'm quite new for posting, so do forgive me for posting in the wrong topic if thats the case.
1) What does it take to run your own DNS server? 2) How to determine server specs? 3) Where to locate? 4) Do you need multiple server? 5) How do you manage DNS entries on the server? 6) Is there commercial software to do this? I've heard of PowerDNS.
i hosted 1 wesite ( forum script with no plugins )
when my traffic consuption reache to 25mbs the server running very slow for hours although the load avarage is very normal 1-2 Iowait 3% ram consumption 8-10Gb
my uplink port 1Gb and of course my DC said the connection is normal with no limitation
the server specs are good Quad procs 7200 ,16Gb ram ,15K SCSI speed
