 For external, TLS is the easiest answer if your threat is mail in

 between agreed organisations.  There are mail gateway appliances you can
 buy which can define policy based encryption too.



 For internal and the ability to email anyone, anywhere with encryption,
 you may want to look at S/MIME or PGP Mail.  Fairly straightforward, but
 you will have a user education piece to go with it!  This is the only way
 of ensuring user to user encryption rather than just in transit.

 It helps to a certain point. I just don’t think with all the government

 your encrypted email is only as good as the various governments that are

Re: [Exchange] CAS Array question

I dunno Richie, do you really need an array for 100 users?  I have a single

 I will soon be moving Exchange 2010 to new hardware (or maybe virtual

 I have a single server with fewer than 100 users spread across two AD
 sites.  Of course I did not create a CAS array all those years ago, so I am
 preparing to deal with the ramifications of that now.

 Currently all mailboxes are (obviously) hosted on one server in one of the
 sites, but that may change in the future if we grow, add data center
 capacity, whatever.

 Given the need to create a CAS array now, should I create a single
 site-specific array for each site?  Can an array for site 2 specify an ip
 in site 1?  If not, should I create a single array and not specify the site?

 Thanks for the help,

 Agreed.  It just gives him a copy of the messages to resend when/if

 I think there are a couple ways of doing that.  Wiser heads may have other

 To export the messages in a queue for replay



 Run Get-Queue to find your “QueueName”



 #Suspend all messages in the queue

 get-queue –Id QUEUENAME | Get-Message | Suspend-Message

 #Get all messages from the queue

 $array = @(Get-Message -Queue QUEUENAME -ResultSize unlimited)

I think number 5 should also be .5, and then you have number 2 twice, so
you should insert number 5 in between those as well.

The product I use for antispam, Vipre, also includes the ability to add

 There is fixed and dynamic, do I want to use dynamic for the OS

 *Subject:* [Exchange] E2010 ActiveSync Android 4.4.2 (Outlook notes)



 Is it possible to sync Outlook’s “Notes” folder with an Android 4.4.2
 device?

 After finding “Tasks” hidden within the phone’s calendar app, notes
 appears to be the only remaining item that is not syncing w/ my Galaxy S5
 (4.4.2).

 Or, I guess more generally – is there a list somewhere of what ActiveSync
 features are compatible for different devices/operating systems?

 Thx!

Re: [Exchange] Any real world with McAfee GSS on Exchange

[Steve Ens]

Sorry, no McAfee experience, but my guess is that since they've been bought
(by Intel right?) they may be better than before. I use Trend  here and
also have used Vipre at other small clients.  Knock on wood they have all
be quite good.

 My only real world experience with McAfee products was in Afghanistan with
 a badly configured EPO policy and McAfee file scanners loaded on Exchange
 with exclusions that may or may not have worked. On reboots of the server,
 it would about three times out of five cause a deadlock in which we
 couldn’t do much of anything other than pull the power cord and try again.



 But, the customer is the customer, and walking away is not an option.



 What has your experience been with the new line of McAfee products and

[Exchange] Relaying

[Steve Ens]

I'm running exchange 2010 here with all the service packs.  I think that I
must have misconfigured one of my receive connectors.  I know I am not an
open relay from the outside, but I think I have a machine inside my network
that is compromised and using exchange to send out since I have many
messages sitting in my queue that are undeliverable.  Any suggestions as to
how I'd determine from which IP these messages are originating?  The sender

Done, now I guess we wait and see.

 SMTP protocol logging would help if it's a relay situation.

Re: [Exchange] OST files

[Steve Ens]

OST files have been recommended for quite some time now.  PST's not.
 Cached mode puts far less strain on the bandwidth...and with newer clients
like Office 2013 you can adjust how much cache you want on the client.

 OST files?

 I thought I had heard PST and OST files are bad, very bad.

 Would like to be educated on the Pros and Cons of turning Cached Mode on.

Re: [Exchange] User needs to send as two different email addresses

[Steve Ens]

What I've done in the past is setup two separate accounts, and with Outlook
you can have both open simultaneously.  She then would choose which account
to send from.

 Last I looked outlook/exchange didn’t allow this directly. There where
 options like using owa (separate mailbox) or setup POP with smtp in outlook.



 Are there any better ways to do this now?



 Thanks,jb

I've tried to tell that to Jason, but since he's a Lions fan, I have a hard
time getting through to him.

 Are you referring to running this command?

 Set-DistributionGroup NameOfGroup -ManagedBy ad...@contoso.com
 –BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck.

 If we do run this one, it replaces the current owners of the group which
 we do not want

 SG’s are now considered to be owned by AD, not by Exchange.

 Give them Group Manager permissions.

 Hi, we are currently migrating from exchange 2003 to 2010 and our security
 staff is having an issue now with modifying USG’s.

 In 2003, they could modify the groups but now in 2010 they get an access
 denied.

 Our security staff are members of the “recipient management”  MS Exchange
 Security Group.

 Thanks,
