What I mean by that is...that sometimes they want to send and receive email to their individual email accounts.  But..sometimes, the general public would email in questions to a generic email account. (Like Questions@domain.com).   Each user had that same extra email address added on their computers (Outlook 2007) as an extra mailbox.

That way, multiple people would be viewing the mailbox, and no matter if someone was on vacation, or sick, the mail from the general public was always seen through this extra mailbox.

Well..a request came in to actually ANSWER some of that mail. The email was not to come from the person reading it, but from the general email account that multiple people shared in viewing.

The problem came as the email server (Called Exchange 2003), decided to DENY outgoing mail.

All users were given FULL MAILBOX Rights...but all were denied sending mail each time they tried.

SOLUTION!!

1. Start Active Directory Users and Computers; click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.

2. On the View menu, make sure that Advanced Features is selected.

3. Double-click the user that you want to grant send as rights for, and then click the Security tab.

4. Click Add, click the user that you want to give send as rights to, and then scroll down and check "send as" under allow in the Permissions area.

4.5  Remove all other permissions granted by default so only the send as permission is granted.

5. Click OK to close the dialog box.

If you are using Internet Explorer...you may get an error box displaying Error 0x0000005.   This code is a generic code meaning "the problematic software is not installed correctly or is corrupt."

This is just what the code means.  Internet Explorer was already on the computer as it is a part of Windows.  First- test the internet....if you have a 2nd computer available...see if the internet works on it.  Also--if you have a 2nd computer available, or a friend's...have them download the install file for another browser, like Mozilla FireFox.

Bring the install file manually to the problematic computer, install it, and see if the internet works through that browser.  If so, then that means we just need to fix the Internet Explorer browser.

I have found a few answers to this issue, including upgrading, or reinstalling...but the Explorer sometimes remains broke.  This blog will be to give the quickest answer.  Any other answers may takes hours and only  have a chance of working.  Here is the result of about 5 hours of trouble shooting...to come to this answer than should only take you less than 15 minutes.

 Find a computer with the same operating system. 

Copy off 2 files to the desktop.  They are:

Winlogon.exe
IExplorer.exe

The best bet is to do a search for these files.  Each file could be located in about 3 different places on a computer.
Copy 1 of each file to the desk top....then note where the other locations are at.

Turn off the computer.
Remove the hard drive from the problem computer and make it a secondary(or slave) hard drive to the one you were just on(with the good files)

Copy/paste the files from the desktop to the same locations as your notes.

Turn the computer off and put the hard drive back into the original Computer.

That is it. That should do it.

Copy off 1 file to the desktop.  It is:

userinit

That is it. That should do it.

***On a side note***if you can get that userinit file to a CD or thumb drive...it is possible that Windows will let you overwrite the original without removing the hard drive.  You may want to try that first....it would make the solution even quicker.

Manually running a defrag on your EDB file will erase out all the blanks in BOTH the EDB file and the STM file simultaneously.  The Command is ESEUTIL.  I recently defragged a 38gb edb file, and when it was done...it was 23 gb.
This saved tremendous space on an older server running with hard drives less than 60gb.  It went from having less than 1gb of space on a daily bases, to having 25 gb of free space.  I am sure this should assist in server performance.

1) check the size of your EDB file in C:\Programs files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA.  There are lots of log files, but it's default name is Priv1.edb and Priv1.stm.

2) Find out if you have 110% free space available.  If it is a 20gb file....have 22gb free space available.
My instructions are for the more difficult situation of NOT having the 110% available.  These instructions will work for those with the space or without it.

   2a) Have a mapped drive to a place with plenty of room for at least the EDB+STM+10% more.

3) Dismount your mailbox database. (yes- email will NOT function during this time. My 38gb EDB file took 6 hours to get thru the processes completely)

3) Drop to a DOS prompt. CD to C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin
(the command only works in this directory)

Type ESEUTIL /d "c:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\Priv1.edb" /t "<location of your mapped drive + desired file name"
LET'S EXPLAIN HOW TO TYPE THIS COMMAND A LITTLE BETTER.
EXAMPLE
ESEUTIL /d "c:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\Priv1.edb" /t "<H:\defrag"

There are many switches to use
ESEUTIL /D – Used for offline defragmentation of a Database
ESEUTIL /R – Used for recovery purposes of a Database
ESEUTIL /g – Performs an integrity check  of a Database
ESEUTIL /k – Performs a checksum test of a Database
ESEUTIL /p – Repairs a Database when it’s corrupt (and beyond recovery)
ESEUTIL /m – can dump header information of a Database and Log Files
ESEUTIL /y – can copy large files like Mailbox Database files efficiently
ESEUTIL /c – Is used to ‘hard recover’ a database during an online backup

But some of the switches have "sub-switches and commands" and the /d for Defrag,,,is one of them

Notice in my example, there is a "/t "   The /t refers to some other mapped location that has lots of free space over 110% of the EDB file size....and gives that temporary file some name I made up called DEFRAG.  You call it anything you can think of.  the ESEUTIL command will create 2 new files in that location.  Defrag.edb and defrag.stm.    

 Again..my 38 Gb job took 6 hours.  So plan accordingly as your email will not function during this time.

When complete...don't forget to re-mount your mailbox database in the System Manager.

The command that defrags these databases is ESEUTIL.

Before I give the steps. I think a little preliminary understanding of "WHY"  the database full of Email would even need a special defragging.  The EDB database will get large.  There are limits to how big it can get.  People think the maximum size of the EDB file is 16 GB.  ( 16,383 megabytes ).  They are close.  I have had technicians come to me asking;

"Why if their EDB file is only 10GB, is their system shutting down for being over the 16 GB limit?"

That's because the  16,383 megabytes (MB) limit is the maximum size of BOTH the EDB and the STM files together!

SO--some people have heard of files being 20gb, 30gb, 40gb.,..etc....How do they get away with going over the maximum limit without Exchange shutting off the service and email stopping? Well, Exchange 2003 had a Service Pack 2 that came out..and with it...the "DEFAULT" maximum was upped 2 more gb to 18 gb.

You can change this maximum limit up to a 75 gb database with a registry entry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<SERVER NAME>\Private-013e2e46-2cd7-4a8e-bfec-0e4652b94b00

 Edit the REG_WORD keys:
Database Size Limit in GB
Database Size Buffer in Percentage
Database Size Check Start Time in Hours from Midnight

**NOTE**  When EMail saves, it 'rounds up' to the nearest number of blank space to take.   Saving the word "THE" (3 spaces) .....may have Exchange saving 10 spaces for that 3-lettered word.  So the larger you make your database able to hold more mail......the more mail you have saving all  those extra blank spaces....taking up space and making your database unnecessarily big.  And also can quickly approach the maximum limits you created.....causing a shut down.

In Part 2 - How to save ONLY the data and not the blanks!  DEFRAG IT!

Now if you ARE the person that opens your Outlook....goes to FILE- OPEN- OPEN OTHER USER'S FOLDER....and you want that list to go away....then use the REGEDIT command and browse down to the key(s) mentioned in Part 1 of 2....and press your delete key each time you want to clear the Out look memory..

But...of course...there is always a better  way.

There is a free computer clean up product called...amazingly enough....CleanUP.

Here is the link.

After you insall this...there is a button to press for OPTIONS.

In the OPTIONS area...is a TAB called REGISTRY.

It has a browse button.....so browse out to

 Now you never have to go to the registry again to drill down through all those folders.

Just run CleanUP and your Outlook Memory gets wiped also.

ENJOY!

Here is the EMAIL you would get. 

The RED boxes change and are different for each person that receives the mail.  It also comes with a link to the fake IRS to go and enter in private information.  (I have not included the link because I do not want anyone clicking on it!)

Here is the Entire story of its background covered by Snopes.com
http://www.snopes.com/fraud/phishing/unreported.asp

It is a "rogue" Fake program.  It gives the appearance of being an Anti-virus program and even performs Fake scans to make you believe it is doing something. It even will make a Fake list of things it found that are not really even on your computer!

Many computers were infected with its predecessor

Antivirus Pro 2009.

These are the same people and they have returned with something new.

It takes over your PC, you can NOT get on the internet, and.....wait for it.......

they found a away to make their files invisible to all the removal programs that you can use to get rid of it.

They leave you with seemingly only ONE choice.  BUY their product with a credit card number and you get removal instructions with your purchase.  Well guess what.......It's a lie too!

The money is taken from you and you are left with a useless computer.

Well...James Clancy.com is here to help. 

I will go over the MANUAL way to both remove this evil malicious spyware, as well as show you how to make the program be visible again to anti-malware removal programs. ALL FREE.   Can't beat that? Can you?

Computer Attack ***ALERT*** Part 2 of 2

What about SAFE MODE? 
Answer---nope....not without some instruction.  You may get 30-60 seconds of internet time in Safe Mode before your computer is stopped and the program starts running.

So...what do you do?

1st...you do need to boot into safe mode with networking.
Open internet explorer..and you will get an error....because the program will not allow you on the internet.

STEP 1
Go to TOOLS
Internet Options
Click the CONNECTIONS tab
LAN Settings button
and UNCHECK ALL BOXES!
Nothing in that windows should be marked.
Say ok and close out of the Browser.

STEP 2
NEXT for XP users, click START-RUN and type Regedit.msc
For VISTA users, click the start button, type "CMD" and in the DOS box, type Regedit.

Find and delete the following Registry keys if they are present
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "[random charaters]"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "[random characters]"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments "SaveZoneInformation" = "1"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings "ProxyServer" = "http=127.0.0.1:5555"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations "LowRiskFileTypes" = ".exe"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download "RunInvalidSignatures" = "1"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings "ProxyOverride" = ""
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AvScan 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AvSoft
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AVS4YOU

STEP 3Reboot into SAFE MODE again, open the browser and you should have internet now.Now download and run MALWAREBYTES.If you need it, I have it on my Downloads site.

http://www.jamesclancy.com/Downloads.html
Update it as well before using.

STEP 4
Do the FULL SCAN. It maye take an hour, but it will now find all the problem files.
Click REMOVE and reboot to normal use.
It will be slow the first time as you really have given your PC a workout.

ALTERNATE IDEA
If you don't want to mess with getting into the registry or blowing off 2 hours of your time.

A  DVD Burning and IDE / SATA Cables 6 part  demo.

You should click your way through from Part 1 to 6.  I added as many pictures as possible which should make it easier and quicker to get through.  

Start here with Part 1

If you have a SATA DVD Burner and have VISTA, you want the check box that mentions DMA to be checked. If you have IDE, UNcheck this box.

If you have a SATA DVD Burner and have Windows XP, you want the settings to appear as they are below. If you have IDE, then use the pull down menu to choose an option that lists "PIO."

Click OK and that that brings us to the end.  "PIO" is for IDE Ribbon Cables and "DMA" is for SATA cables.  These things are data transfer modes and tell the computer how fast or slow to transfer Data in and out of some device (remember "IO"?)  

So now you have all the acronyms and technical information. If you want to know exactly was DMA and PIO are for educational reasons, then open up Google and surf the internet to all the definitions out there!

Good luck and have fun!
