In this article, I will show you how to administer the Full-Text index with a new command line tool – called MSSEARCH_ADMIN.VBS. This tool greatly expands the administration capabilities with a lot of missing features in the GUI administration (Exchange System Manager). You can use MSSEARCH_ADMIN.VBS with Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003.
In this article I will give you an overview about the Exchange 2003 Resource Kit Utilities – called “All-in-One Exchange 2003 Tools” which you can download for free from the Microsoft Exchange website.
We would like to extend a warm welcome to Microsoft MVP Erik Rozman to our team of authors as he presents his first article to MSExchange.org readers.

Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition still provides a X.400 connector. With Exchange Server 5.5 this was the default protocol and connectivity standard. With the release of Exchange 2000 Server Microsoft implemented SMTP as the default protocol for connectivity. Due to backward compatibility there is still a X.400 based MTA stack available. But it is only a stack and not a protocol implementation. The following article is a drill-down through the basics of X.400 and how to configure the X.400 connector. Afterwards we will then talk about in what cases we still need it.
