Is there a way to disconnect MAPI sessions from the exchange server? thanks, Drew

Can you explain more what you are trying to do? Why the need to do this?

I have a user who has a poor wireless connection. He VPN's in, connects to exchange and establishes a bunch of MAPI sessions. Wireless drop, the sessions stay connected. I believe they have a 2hr timeout value. He re-connects and establishes more MAPI sessions. repeatthis process until all 32 connections are used and he can no longer get connected to exchange. I'd like to disconnect all his mapi sessions so he can get logged back in. thanks, Drew

I imagine you could use something like TCPView:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspxYou may want to attack the bigger problem. What version of Exchange and O/S? Does the client and server have the latest NIC drivers?

I believe that if youSTART moving his mailbox and then cancel the move it will also killthe sessions and the mailbox will remain where it is.Using TCPView is also an option:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Sorry Rich, "to 5 minutes on the server?" - not sure what this means. Thanks both of you for the TCPView option. I might give this a shot if the user continues to have problems. Once the sessions from this morning dropped- he got logged back in and wireless has held. I just want to be ready to get him back online if it happens again. - he's an important one to keep happy. I'll check the users system for missing patches - he should be up to date on either outlook 2003 or 2007. connected to our 2003 exchange server. Have a good one, Drew

I means I'm using a beta version of sofware that allows access tothese forums from a real newsreader. Unfortunately, it's buggy -- verybuggy. It drops out chunks of text from messages, refuses to send somemessages, badly formats messages, and makes life generally miserable.---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
