SQL Server 8 / Server 2003 + Exchange 2010 E-Mail Notification

I was asked to setup a mail profile on the SQL 8 server we have running on Server 2003 so it can send emails via exchange. Every guide online is telling me to install an exchange client but I have no idea what an exchange client is? Anyone got any guides
for this?

Hi Neurotox,
According to your description, we need to verify if you use SQL Server 2008 and
 want to setup a mail profile in SQL Server database for sending an email or notification. If yes, as other post, you need to configure database mail in SQL Server. In SQL Server 2000 , it supports MAPI profiles to send email instead of an
SMTP server. SQL Mail requires a MAPI-compliant mail server (Microsoft Exchange Server) and a MAPI client (Microsoft Outlook).
And now it uses an SMTP server to send mail. When you specify the related accounts associated with the profile, you can use
an external e-mail application, such as 126, 163, yahoo and so on.
 Only set the right SMTP server name, port number, and
 in Basic Authentication option, enter the same email ID along with the valid password of the email ID. It can send and receive e-mail.

  • Installing SQL 2012 BI on a server with Exchange 2010

    I would like to create a new SBS-type network ... and I know that SBS2011 is dead, so I am looking at moving into the new Server 2012 world.  I understand that Server 2012 Essentials has some really nice management and remote-access capabilities.
    I definitely want to install Exchange 2010 on-premises and I know that it cannot be installed on Server 2012 Essentials, so I will have to deploy a second server running Server 2012 Standard.  Not thrilled, but I can live with that (I miss SBS already).
    I am also interested in installing SQL Server 2012 BI because I understand my POS (Point-Of-Sale) vendor should release a new SQL-based option in 2013 and I want to anticipate that and be ready. 
    I should have 15-17 users on this network without heavy use - mostly file + print sharing along with Exchange-based email.  I do understand that Exchange takes up a lot of RAM, which is potentially a conflict with SQL Server, but I can put
    8-12GB into each box.  (Each box has two dual-core 2GHz AMD cpu's.)
    So, my questions are:
    Where should I best install SQL2012 BI? 
    Can Exchange 2010 and SQL 2012 BI live on the same box?  If so, are there any tuning/install recommendations?
    As you can see, I'm a newbie to the 2012 world and I appreciate any advice / pointers you can give.
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Please see the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997379(v=EXCHG.80).aspx
    “Running SQL Server on the same computer as a production Exchange mailbox server is not recommended. Both SQL Server and Exchange mailbox servers consume a large amount of memory and disk resources to operate optimally. Co-hosting SQL Server and Exchange Server
    on the same computer in a production environment will likely lead to poor performance by one or both of the servers. Additionally, troubleshooting and securing such an installation is not well understood.”
    “Move either Exchange Server or SQL Server off the computer. Completely removing one of these programs from the computer is recommended”
    Hope this helps.

  • Upgrading Exchange Server 2003 to 2010 to 2013 is worth???

    Hello there, I am planning to upgrade about 30 users from exchange server 2003 to 2010 and finally to 2013. Is it worth to upgrade in this way because this steps are hard and very time consuming. What if, if I just copy all the user mailboxes directly to
    exchange server 2013 and configure 2013 as a new exchange server and decommission old exchange server 2003?
    How to copy user mailboxes to fresh exchange server 2013?
    Please help me out.
    Thankx

    Yes, Export the PST from User Mailbox and Import it into Exchange 2013 Mailbox. But the problem is, you can't install Exchange 2013 in your current Exchange 2003 environment.
    Only option is to install Exchange 2010 first and migrate all the users to Exchange 2010. Also Replicate the Public Folders too(If you are using)
    Decommission Exchange 2003 entirely. Install Exchange 2013 SP1 and Migrate the User to Exchange 2013.

  • SQL Server 2003 support?

    I need to migrate a lot of SQL Server 2003 databases to Oracle 10g. It looks like the migration workbench doesn't have support for 2003. is that True?
    is there a beta version coming that might support 2003?
    What expectation should I have if I run it against SQL Server 2003 anyway -- is it possible that I'll still get all of my data, and some of the stored procedures, etc?

    We are not aware that a SQL Server 2003 existed. Only 2000 and 2005.

  • JDBC Adapter for SQL Server 2003

    We are trying to connect from XI to SQL Server 2003 for the first time.  Does anyone know what values to use for these 2 parms in the JDBC receiver channel:

    Hi,
    JDBC Driver :

    SQL server does not have any version named SQL server 2003 please check the version correctly it should be either SQL 2005,2008,2008 R2,2012
    You can use the backup/restore to upgrade the SQL 2000 database to till SQL 2005,2008,2008R2
    For SQL Server 2000 to 2012
    First upgrade from SQL 2000 database to either SQL 2005, 2008 or 2008R2 and than upgrade it to SQL 2012.

    And after migration to SQL 2005 or 2008, if you want to script the database than can generate scripts pick DB and check off "script all objects in the selected database".

    You can upgrade from SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, and SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012.

  • Connecting to MS SQL Server 2003 with JDBC.

    I have a problem connecting to the MS SQL Server 2003.
    When i execute my sample example coded in JDBC it gives me the error :
    TCP/IP Connection failed . Connection Refused.
    The authentication used in MS SQL Server 2003 is the SQL authentication. The port number used is 1433. But when i telnet the remote machine on which the SQL Server is installed on port number 1433 it gives me the error : Connection to the host lost.
    Is this the problem with MS SQL Server 2003 ?
    I changed the port number to 1400 but still the problem persists .
    Are the settings of the SQL Server a problem . Because i have not used it much & it is been set by others.
    The JDBC code is surely not a problem as i have checked that code on different machine with the databases.
    I have tried other drivers but the error remains the same. ?

    Thanks for the replies but as u suggested to check
    As u have suggested to check the firewall i
    dont know the way to check it. So can u please
    explain the way to do it.You need to talk to the owner of the server on which the database is running and ask if it's behind a firewall. The best way to check is to talk to some other people who know about your network.
    I'd also ask which port the listener is running on. Maybe they changed from the standard port 1433 to confound hackers.
    Is there any way to check whether there is a problem
    with the particular port. I changed the port number
    to 1400 but still the problem persists.The port change won't help. The only person who can change the port on which the SQL server listener is running is the database DBA. You can tell your client to try to connect to different ports, but the listener on the server side won't change.
    If the SQL server client won't connect, you've got a very serious problem indeed. Sure you have the server name correct? Start with that. Check the easy things before you thrash around with harder problems.

  • SQL Server Agent Job And Database Mail - Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters

    We have a stored procedure that we are trying to call with a SQL Server Agent Job. The stored procedure calls Database Mail. This is SQL 2008. The execute task is simply:
    USE [Production]
    GO
    EXEC [dbo].[JOB_EMAIL_SCHEDULED_REPORTS]
    GO
    When the job runs, it is erroring out immediately, with the error:
    Execute as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22050). The step failed.
    When we go into SQL Server Manager and just execute the SQL query, it works though. Something within the SQL Server Agent job,  and Database Mail is causing problems. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Justin,
    If you use SSMS then the procedure is executed under a different user when compared to running using a SQL Server Agent Job.
    Isolate the problem by running a SQL Server agent job that sends a mail. Also check if the NT Authority\Network Service account is
    in good standing. Look at the below thread with a similar problem that had an expired account.

  • Relay issue from Unix across Exchange 2003 OWA server in Exchange 2010 environment

    Hi,
    I'm trying to resolve an issue.  We have one Exchange 2003 server left in our environment. The rest is now Exchange 2010.  We are working to decommission this server. Monitoring the SMTP logs, I am working with the various groups to get the traffic
    off this server and onto the Exchange 2010 environment.
    The issue we are finding is with a work flow. This Java app for eBis sends email to users. This is done correctly through Exchange 2010 and gets delivered from our HUB/CAS servers to the target user mailbox. This email has several links the user must click
    for approving or rejecting requests. Upon clicking Approve, a new email window opens (we use Outlook 2010).  The TO address is in the format of [email protected]  Upon clicking Send, our Exchange 2010 HUB/CAS servers accept the
    email, because one of our send connectors has, as address space, *.domain.corp.  However, the email address being used it not an alias on any Exchange 2010 mailbox, so it appears Exchange 2010 is sending this email on to the Exchange 2003 server, which
    also is an SMTP server.  I *think* this server is looking at the address after @ to determine where to send it (ebisserver.domain.corp, which is valid in our DNS), and sends it on to that server, where the java "listener" program intercepts
    the mail, processes it and then saves it to a file somewhere.
    We are at a loss as to how to get Exchange 2010 to do this instead of Exchange 2003... once this traffic is eliminted from Exchange 2003, I can proceed with decommission of this server.  Any help troubleshooting this issue is appreciated.

    The only reason the Exchange 2010 server would route outbound mail through an Exchange 2003 server is that you have an SMTP Connector defined on the Exchange 2003 server that has a more specific domain than you have on the Exchange 2010 server.  You
    should be able to see all your Send Connectors (an SMTP Connector on Exchange 2003 looks like a Send Connector in Exchange 2010) by running Get-SendConnector.

  • Setting up a test AD domain to practice Exchange Server 2003 to 2010 migration

    Please critique my plan to upgrade our Exch 2003 server to 2010.
    I want to start by setting up a test domain using an old Win Svr 2003 DC, and another old win 2003 server as an Exch 2003 mail server.
    This test domain will be connected to our existing LAN so I need to make sure it doesn’t cause any problems.
    We are a small single domain shop with a public domain name that I will call “mycompany.net” for the purposes of this question.
    Our DC’s are named: “dc05.main.mycompany.net”, “dc06.main.mycompany.net”
    Mail server: “mail1.main.mycompany.net”
    Public DNS for our domain has an MX record that points to a public IP we use for our Sonicwall spam filter. The firewall has a 1 to 1 NAT entry to route that public IP to the LAN IP of the spam filter with corresponding rule that allows smtp to that LAN
    IP.
    The spam filter routes good mail to the Exch Svr, and the Exch Svr uses the spam filter as a smart host for outgoing mail.
    Another public DNS entry points “smtp.mycompany.net” to our firewall which 1 to 1 NAT’s that public IP to another LAN IP of our Exch Svr (we have 2 IP’s assigned to this server). This is used for OWA, ActiveSync etc. to the Exch Svr.
    Test Domain Setup
    I plan to name the test domain “test.mycompany.net”.
    DC = “dc01.test.mycompany.net”
    Mail = “mail.test.mycompany.net”
    Public DNS MX record for “test.mycompany.net” to point to a currently unused public IP we have available.
    MX record for “test.mycompany.net” will point to public IP x.x.x.10
    Firewall will NAT that public IP to the LAN IP x.x.x.30, and allow smtp on that IP to route to the sonicwall spam filter.
    The spam filter will have in incoming mail path setup that routes mail with source IP x.x.x.30 to the test mail server.
    Outgoing mail configuration on the test mail server will be the same as the “main” exch svr I guess.
    Once the test domain seems to be working:
    I will obtain an SSL certificate (we are not using SSL now) and apply it to the test mail server, so I can figure out how that works.
    Then I will add a new Win Svr 2008 R2, Exch Svr 2010 machine to the test domain and go thru the procedure of migrating to it.
    Once I feel like I know what I am doing I will plan the migration of the “main” domain mail server.
    Primary concern is to not allow this testing to disrupt the operation of our currrent systems.
    I know this is a lot to ask, but I’m hoping some of you guys just love this stuff so much you will enjoy thinking about it and helping me with any constructive suggestions.
    Thank you.

    Hi everybody, I need some help with a problem removing my last Exchange Server 2003 (the only one now, back-end) from my mixed environment, actually I have one Exchange 2010 server with all the mailboxes, I have replicated public folders and OAB and List
    Address Books to it, after that i removed my front end server from my environment but when I tryed to remove my back-end, I have the error 0x80072030 (8240) when I ran the uninstallation of Exchange from Add/remove Programs:  I read
    tons of articles but anyone helps (i have removed all mailboxes from that server), my last resource is removing the last Exchange Server 2003 from my mixed (2003/2010) organization, I have read articles about to remove Exchange from one server and to remove
    Exchange from one site, also to remove Exchange to reinstall after, but my goal is remove Exchange at all because I have Exchange Server 2010 too and finally need to migrate to Exchange 2013 so I need to clean Exchange 2003 manually from my
    organizatión.
    Please somebody knows a procedure to remove Exchange Server 2003 from Active Directory and left only Exchange 2010 to be able to migrate to Exchange 2013.
    thanks in advance.

  • Removing mailbox server from Exchange 2010 DAG - Node not fully cleaned up

    Hi,
    We are in the process of decommissioning some old Exchange 2010 servers. I have just attempted to remove one of our mailbox servers and have received a number of errors, related to its removal from the DAG.
    I have already removed the Public Folder replicas and all mailbox database copies. I then tried to evict the server from the DAG and received the following warning:
    I then ran the command that was recommended, from another server and in an administrative command prompt:
    I have looked in this log on both the server I ran the command on, a CAS server, and the mailbox server itself and can see no evidence of this error 2 that is listed here.
    If I run the Powershell command to look at the DAG I cannot see it there any more. I am assuming that this error message might only be an issue if I was planning on re-using this server somewhere else in Exchange or perhaps adding this server to another
    DAG. But I just want to decommission it.
    Can anyone put my mind at rest as to whether this is a genuine concern or not. If not my next step is to uninstall Exchange 2010 from this server and turn it off.

    Hi Belinda,
    I get the following:
    [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup
    Name             Member Servers                                                         
    Operational Servers
    DAG01            {WSR-EX-01, WSR-EX-101, WSR21}
    It doesn't look like that server is part of the DAG any more as far as I can see. I just can't explain that error message reported from the cluster command. As far as I can see the server is isolated. I already removed its database copies as a pre-requisite
    before removing it from the DAG as per this guide:
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/Q_27039933.html
    I found a nice little script that gave reports on your Public Folder configuration and it highlighted that some of our folders were not being replicated properly across our mailbox servers. This helped me in removing these services from the server.
    It is currently doing nothing at this time as far as Exchange Services are concerned.
