Exmerge limit on no. of items
I have a user who, after using Entourage, has ended up with nearly 1 million contacts. I'm trying to use exmerge to get them all out, but each four hour pass of the Contacts folder only removes ~10,000 items. Not very practical, it would take me weeks!

Mailbox recovery
I have a relatively new E2k7 server. This morning, someone deleted the OU that contained several users. We reactivated them with ldp (of course they came back w/o groups). We then had a problem reconnecting the mailboxes since they didn't show as in Disconnected Mailbox or the cmdlet. Running the Clean-MailboxDatabse cmdlet populated the Disconnected Mailbox item. From there, we right clicked on the mailbox, picked the user, and let the wizard run, which said it completed. The user still can't connect to the mailbox and is getting a error that says his profile is not configured, with the name of the server in parentheses. I'm stumped here. Any ideas? This is all in the same domain/forest. Joe Louis ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
monitor outbound mail
I was just asked to provide a manager with a copy of every outbound email (discretely) from this one user. I used to use Exclaimer for that but don't have that software any longer. Is there any way I can do that for free with just Exch2003 sp2? Thanks, Dennis ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
