RE: Questions about DAG's (Database Availability Groups) in exchange 2010
Hi Thank you for all your replies. This has given me a better understanding of what is expected to happen. One more question though. (For the moment) When an exchange server fails and all the clients reconnect to another exchange server. What happens when the original exchange server becomes available again? Do the Outlook clients automatically change back to using their original Exchange server? Or do they just continue to connect to the server that they have been connected to whilst their (home) server was off line? I am just thinking about our circumstances where we have one exchange server in the UK and one In the US. It would seem illogical for the clients to continue to connect to a server in the US if the one in our office became available again after a failure. And vice versa should a failure occur on the US server.

RE: Questions about DAG's (Database Availability Groups) in exchange 2010
You are thinking in pre Exchange 2010 terms. A given database can only be on-line on one server at any given point in time, so clients always access the e-mail on the server with the database on-line. However if I understand things properly, clients now never access the database directly. They always access via the Client Access role. So if the current client access server role remains active they will continue to connect to that client access server. Its role is to figure out where the mail box is and manage access to it in a transparent manner.

Hi All How do you cope with the scenario for external users, where by access to point A webmail.companyname.org in the US is unavailable and Outlook anywhere users need to connect instead to Access Point B owa.companyname.com in the UK. Apart from manually updating DNS entries for webmail.companyname.org to point at access point B. is there some way of setting up DNS or some kind of failover to automate this process? We are running Outlook versions 2007 and 2010. The DNS entries for Autodiscover would presumably need to be updated as well to point at the temporary access point unless this can be automated in some way. regards Kevan Dickinson Network Manager NSF-CMI 23 Lodge Road Hanborough Business Park, Long Hanborough, Oxford, OX29 8SJ, UK T:+44 01993 885661 E:kevan.dickin...@nsf-cmi.com W:www.nsf-cmi.com From: Michael B.

I totally agree. It took me several months of pain to adjust, as most of my keyboard memory is no longer applicable.

Simple things like inserting a signature *require* a mouse move, when in the past, it was a simple keystroke.

RE: Questions about DAG's (Database Availability Groups) in exchange 2010
Mr. Dickinson, This article is a good source for installation and it may address some of your questions about basic operation; most of which have been answered by others in this message thread. Exchange 2010 RTM DAG using Server 2008 R2 - Part 1http://www.shudnow.net/2009/10/29/exchange-2010-rtm-dag-using-server-2008-r2-%E2%80%93-part-1/ There are four parts Please note that this article is referring to Exchange RTM and Server 2008 R2 pre any service packs and there are some changes with these SP's. I have found this a good written reference reading material on installation that extends a bit beyond this. With regard to your question below, sounding a bit obtuse, it depends on what your goal is. If you wish to have an immediate for a total failure in the US; this can be a challenge as there will be a lag time while DNS entries are updated outside your organization. An alternative solution would be to utilize OWA for temporary outages and instruct users to redirect to another site via separate URL's. If there is a partial failure (of database servers) then there are ways to utilize front end servers (which I recommend) like TMG or F5 to handle redirection to separate CAS arrays. Getting information from sources like this is a good first step. Partnering with other professionals (both formal and informal) is the next logical choice.

Apart from manually updating DNS entries for webmail.companyname.org to point at access point B. is there some way of setting up DNS or some kind of failover to automate this process? We are running Outlook versions 2007 and 2010.

This has given me a better understanding of what is expected to happen. One more question though. (For the moment) When an exchange server fails and all the clients reconnect to another exchange server. What happens when the original exchange server becomes available again? Do the Outlook clients automatically change back to using their original Exchange server? Or do they just continue to connect to the server that they have been connected to whilst their (home) server was off line? I am just thinking about our circumstances where we have one exchange server in the UK and one In the US. It would seem illogical for the clients to continue to connect to a server in the US if the one in our office became available again after a failure. And vice versa should a failure occur on the US server.

Hub Transport Rule question (Exchange 2007)
Hello, How does Hub Transport rule apply to the message? One article says: If a message belongs to 3 (three) separate rules, all rules will be applied on the message always respecting the priority of the rules. For example, I created 2 Hub Transport rules for disclaimer setup. Rule 1 for a specific distribution group (or email domain) with priority 0. Rule 2 for all users with priority 1. The user in the specific distribution group got 2 disclaimer attached because all rules will be applied on the message. I may be able to set up an exception on Rule 2 to exclude that specific distribution group, but would like to know if there is a better way to do?

The complete makeover of the UI for Outlook (and Office) is an excellent example of violation of POLA. Outlook does not behave as I'd expect, because they've changed the user interface dramatically. - Right clicking on an email doesn't produce the menu item expected. And, in fact, they've hidden the option away, so that you have to work to get at it. As a saving grace, now that it's configured I can get at it from the keyboard, using Alt and 3. That's actually pretty nice. - Rearranging and lengthening of the keystroke sequences needed to perform other tasks is a major change of of the UI as well. I will probably eventually get used to it, but it'll take a while. Now, I actually do like a lot about the new version. Its configurability is pretty darn wonderful - the ability to make those addins is great. I'm sure there are lots of other 'under the covers' improvements, too. To answer your last question: What kind of option is the SMTP header? It's not any kind of option, but the ability to view it is a required option, and hiding it is a silly move. It's actually much more important than any of the other menu options they added in, and I have long thought that it would be a really good UI improvement to be able to expand/collapse the display header to show or not show the headers.

I did a restore of a user folder to a new folder in their mailbox using the -TargetRootFolder parameter in Exchange 2010SP1. The original folder was restored to the new location but in the root of the new folder was the Recoverable Items folder and all of its subfolders. It appears to be current, but the restore was from a backup yesterday so it could just look current and be yesterdays. Is this to be expected? I thought that folder was pretty much always invisible.

RE: Do I do this on our Exchange 2007 system? Or where? In our DNS set-up?
I'm confused (not a new condition). I don't see how anyone can block mail because of an IP not allowed in an SPF record if that domain does not have an SPF record. From: Michael B.

Or where? In our DNS set-up? Well, I called our DNS site/record holder, aplus.net, and after talking with several of their people, they said it wasn't their call, rather it was our T-1 provider. We use dual, locked T-1s for our Internet/e-mail connection here since we own the entire block so cannot yet get a high-speed cable connection without a lot of dough. We are a non-profit. So I called Covad, they are on the West Coast, probably warmer out there, and three people later, they said that yes they were the ones who did this, (add the spf record) but no, they didn't/would not do it. (Figure that one out.) I further explained our problem to the third person, he was actually with Covad, not just a support person, and he said we need to get someone from Convio to call them directly and they will see what they can do.

Or where? In our DNS set-up? This is from our Convio e-mailers, they are being blocked in sending some of our e-mails. They said we needed to do this. I work with two other firms using external e-mails, no problem. I don't agree, but... How do SPF records need to be set up for an organization using Convio? The From address in email marketing sent from Convio will typically use an Internet domain owned by the Convio client in question. To pass a Sender ID check, SPF records which identify Convio as a legitimate source of email need to be published by each client in the DNS for each domain they use in From lines in email marketing. Determining what the complete SPF policy should be for a domain is a matter for each organization's IT team; however, Convio offers the following guidance: IF your organization operates its own office email server AND Convio is the only service that sends email on your organization's behalf, then the following SPF record will meet your needs: v=spf1 +mx +include:outboundmail.convio.net ?all An SPF-based spam filter will translate this as: Servers specifically allowed to send mail are (i) our inbound mail server(s), and (ii) Convio's servers. For mail from any other source, treat it as if this SPF record was never published. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.commailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.commailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.commailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.commailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist

The SSL cert on our UK server is set to expire in a few days, so I put the new wildcard cert on it. Everyone can do OWA, no problem, but now some folks can't do RPC/HTTPS.

That is what Outlook does if it doesn't recognise the certificate. It cannot cope with the SSL prompt, so returns authentication, even though it isn't actually trying! As far as RPC over HTTPS is concerned, you have not replaced the certificate like with like. It looks at the exact common name - so host.example.com is not the same as *.example.com.

RE: Do I do this on our Exchange 2007 system? Or where? In our DNS set-up?
Nothing to prevent a mail server that knows SPF from requiring an SPF record that matches the sending IP or else the message is rejected. That is the how in a technical sense. If you mean how in the sense of doing that would be stupid, well that is still, unfortunately, true. When somebody came up with SPF, they should have also created a timeline with a deadline by which all domains must have SPF records identifying their mail servers or face message rejection. For the OP Don, if you have full control of nbm.org, you don't have to use Aplus for DNS. You can use any of a hundred DNS providers who will give you a web control panel for the DNS records and allow you to enter your own SPF record. Some of those providers are dirt cheap, or even free, if you move your domain registration to a registrar who has free DNS.

I work with two other firms using external e-mails, no problem. I don't agree, but. How do SPF records need to be set up for an organization using Convio? The From address in email marketing sent from Convio will typically use an Internet domain owned by the Convio client in question. To pass a Sender ID check, SPF records which identify Convio as a legitimate source of email need to be published by each client in the DNS for each domain they use in From lines in email marketing. Determining what the complete SPF policy should be for a domain is a matter for each organization's IT team; however, Convio offers the following guidance: IF your organization operates its own office email server AND Convio is the only service that sends email on your organization's behalf, then the following SPF record will meet your needs: v=spf1 +mx +include:outboundmail.convio.net ?all An SPF-based spam filter will translate this as: Servers specifically allowed to send mail are (i) our inbound mail server(s), and (ii) Convio's servers. For mail from any other source, treat it as if this SPF record was never published. --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist

Thanks Michael, you come through yet again! So... is Mikey your official list name? Michael B. Smith mich...@smithcons.com 4/7/2011 4:29 PM Yes. Disable-Mailbox followed by Clean-MailboxDatabase. Then you'll be able to see it in Disconnected Mailboxes in EMC and you can either purge it, attach it to a different user, or leave it there until Deleted Mailbox Retention takes care of it (defaults to 30 days).

But, I want to do the opposite. I want to disconnect the mailbox from the user, and leave the user account intact. Then I want to either delete the mailbox, or tie it to a different user account. Is this possible?

If so, this may be cause the failure when trying to resolve the SID of the writer. delete that entry with the extra .bak hope this can be useful --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
Accessing an OST
Anyone have any thoughts or experience on accessing or converting an OST to be accessible in Outlook? Have a user whose profile was trashed and their local office IT guy screwed around enough to trash Outlook and mailbox on Exchange. They created a new profile but the original OST is still there.

Re: Accessing an OST
I'm nearly 100% uncertain that there are no OST2PST conversion tools for cases like this. Yep, 100% uncertain a tool like this exists.
