Hery, The administrator account doesn't have access over other mailboxes, you have to give it yourself by using the active directory users and computers. From the exchange machine are you able to telnet an external mail server on port 25? -----Original Message----- From: Hery [mailto:hery@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 9:28 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] NEED HELP - EX2K goes to strange http://www.MSExchange.org/ hi guys, can anyone help me with this ? my ex2k is going to strange, can't send and only rcv. i check the smtp, it's ok. but the queue is grow up. so i planned to use a back up. i try to export mailboxes using exmerge.exe but error, and it say that maybe the information store not functioning, or logon account can't access the mailboxes. is there anyway to export all the mailboxes or what account should i used ? now i'm using "administrator" account. hery ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: robert@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') This mail was content checked for malicious code and viruses by GFI MailSecurity.
