RE: Copy HT/CAS config to another server

[Ehren Benson]

I see most of these utilize ntbackup, can you do all of the same tasks with 
windows server backup in server 2008?  I know it lacks many of the features of 
ntbackup.

Also if I am installing CAS/HT on a new server with a different name is there a 
way to copy the settings and still keep the CAS/HT on the mailbox server 
running while I move people to the new dedicated CAS/HT?  I notice in the 3rd 
article it talks about backing up the system state etc, would that be a problem 
if I restored the system state to a different computer than the one it came 
from and still have both online?

Thanks for the info!

Subject: Copy HT/CAS config to another server

Hi all,

Does anyone know of an easy way to copy the exact configuration of a HT/CAS 
ex2007 server to another HT/CAS server?

Background:  I purchased another server to separate the mailbox role from 
HT/CAS and want to move the HT/CAS to the second server obviously, however I 
cant remember every tiny config that was made and figure there has to be an 
easy way, or at least something that is not ridiculously difficult.

Thanks!

We're running XPSP3 workstations, Office 2003, Exchange 2003 Server on a
Win2K3 server. 

One of my users has a distribution list in Public Folders with about 150

distribution list on my workstation. For a while yesterday, she could
move the list into her personal Contacts and open it from there, but now
she gets the same message either way (personal Contacts or Public

I Googled it, but all I came up with were things involving Exchange 5.5

RE: Blackberry, or something else?

[Don Andrews]

[opinion on]

We have a single digit number of C*O's - and a goodly number of exec's
who get BBs as perks but many hundreds of users who need and use BBs as
corporate data devices and the fact that they double as phones is great
- slick phones, i or not just don't make it in that environment.

RE: Copy HT/CAS config to another server

[Michael B. Smith]

You can create a system-state backup from the command-line using wbadmin.

 

I personally would probably write a script to export the required registry
key, and then archive the files and copy those to somewhere on backup
storage. As I think I noted in my blog entry, it's easier to rebuild a box
than to restore it.

IRM Configuration

[Roger Wright]

Exchange 2003 & Outlook 2007

 

Looking at IRM for Outlook and am unclear on some of the concepts.  

 

Is this only for use within an organization or can an IRM-protected
message be opened by any external party with Passport credentials?

 

Apparently, web-based email recipients can also open the messages once
they install the IE add-in .  Is this correct?

Helpdesk mailbox

[Joe Heaton]

I need to create a generic mailbox, that multiple people will be
accessing.  At first, I created a mail-enabled security group, and added
the people that needed it to the group.  Now, I find that's not what
they wanted.  They want an actual, separate mailbox, that these people
will access, in addition to their own.  I need to verify that my
thinking is correct here:

 

1)   In order to do this, I have to create a new user within ADUC,
with a mailbox. (Named Help, for example)

2)   I then have to give the people that will be accessing this
mailbox full rights to the mailbox.

3)   I then need to go to their computers, and setup their Outlook
to open this Help mailbox in addition to theirs.

 

 

Is this correct?  Is there a better way of doing this?

 

Thanks,

Re: Helpdesk mailbox

[Eric Woodford]

Hey Joe, you may want to setup a security group for the HD people, and grant
that permissions. Also may want to grant 'send as' rights to the users, so
that they can send out as the Help Desk mbx.

Use a helpdesk system.

 

This almost certainly won't work the way they expect.

I need to create a generic mailbox, that multiple people will be accessing.
At first, I created a mail-enabled security group, and added the people that
needed it to the group.  Now, I find that's not what they wanted.  They want
an actual, separate mailbox, that these people will access, in addition to
their own.  I need to verify that my thinking is correct here:

 

1) In order to do this, I have to create a new user within ADUC, with a
mailbox. (Named Help, for example)

2) I then have to give the people that will be accessing this mailbox
full rights to the mailbox.

3) I then need to go to their computers, and setup their Outlook to open
this Help mailbox in addition to theirs.

 

 

Is this correct?  Is there a better way of doing this?

 

Thanks,

[mqcarp]

That would work, but they could also open it under File/Open/Other User's
Mailbox

+1

This is matching the letter of the request, but will not be anywhere
near as efficient as people think it will be.

Exchange 2003/2007 Configuration question

[Travis Krampy]

Hi All,

I am hoping someone can help me with a question...

I have a customer who is interested in upgrading to Exchange 2007.

Currently they have a FE Exchange 2003 server and a BE exchange 2003 server.

They want to add an additional server to break up the mailboxes (currently 
have about 1000 mailboxes, splitting them into 500 mailboxes per server)


This server would be an Exchange 2007 server.

My questions are:

Can an Exchange 2003 FE server route mail to an exchange 2007 server?

Would it be better to upgrade the 2003 FE server to an Exchagne 2007 CAS?

Thanks

Travis

Anyone know of a free site that performs tests similar to what dnsstuff
used to do for free?

Thanks.
