Exch. 2007 OOF sanity check.
I am not sure why I have gotten myself so confused on the Exchange 2007 out of office settings, but I have. Two Mailbox servers, and one doing Client Access and Hub all with SP1. No edge server. I want to allow internal OOF's but not external OOF's Under Organization Configuration/Hub Transport. I hit the Remote Domains tab and change the default domain to 'Allow None'. Correct? However, all the examples I have googled have shown a remote domain entry on the hub transport for the local domain. So I first need to put one in for that (I currently don't have one) so that I can allow internal OOF's? It is a access control rule list so to speak...it checks from the bottom up until it hits a rule that applies? Just making sure. Everything is working great and I would like to keep it that way. ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~

Managing ActiveSync Rights for Users
Windows 2003 AD Exchange 2003 SP2 I'm in the process of implementing Exchange 2003 ActiveSync in our environment. I'm trying to determine the best (read: most efficient) method of granting/disabling ActiveSync for a large number of users. We have a separate department responsible for creating/maintaining user accounts and mailboxes so these procedures are aimed at entry level personnel. I'm just looking for feedback and/or better suggestions. We already have a written policy dictating which users are granted the ability to sync mobile phones based on Job Position/Category. 1) Disable ActiveSync services at the Exchange Organizational Level. 2) Ensure all user accounts are disabled. 3) Use one of the extension attributes in the user AD object and specify a character string (i.e. activesync). 4) Instruct the department responsible for maintaining accounts to apply the extension attribute to a list of already approved users. 5) Create/save an ADUC query that will list all users with extension attribute set. 6) Enable ActiveSync using the Exchange Task wizard for those users. I believe they use templates to create new user accounts, or at the very least copy the accounts of user's with the same Position/Category. All new users should automatically be enabled if their position grants it.

RE: Removal of Exchange 2007 for reinstall
You could surgically remove the server object from AD via ADSIedit, but that might be more then we could walk you through via this forum. I think that simplest thing to do to deal with what you have described would be to reinstall with the recoverserver switch, uninstall, then install again. That will rebuild your server, allow you safely remove the server, and then you can build a new server.

Inter Org Replication Tool and Exchange 2007
Anybody have any experience with this tool? I am looking to replicate Free/Busy data using it. Ok, so I have been testing using the Microsoft's Inter Org Replication Tool. In production we run a mixed Exchange 2007 / Exchange 2003 environment (working towards 100% Exchange 2007). I also have both types of servers in our test domain. So what I have done is I set up the Inter Org Replication tool on an Exchange 2003 server in one domain (Domain1), and pointed it at an Exchange 2003 server in another domain (Domain2), and vice versa. I also have the Free/Busy public folders set to replicate to Public Folder databases that I have created on Exchange 2007 mailbox servers. I then created a test mailbox in Domain2 with a email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], and then a mail-enabled user in domain1 with an email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and added some Calendar stuff. It seems to be working well, to a point. Here is my current situation: Logging into a mailbox located on an Exchange 2007 server in Domain1 via Outlook 2003 and looking up free/busy information for testuser from Domain2 is Successful Logging into a mailbox located on an Exchange 2007 server in Domain1 via OWA and looking up free/busy information for testuser from Domain2 is NOT Successful Logging into a mailbox located on an Exchange 2003 server in Domain1 via OWA and looking up free/busy information for testuser from Domain2 is Successful. I know that Exchange 2007 / Outlook 2007 completely changed the way it does Free / Busy. But it should also support the public folders for legacy clients and Exchange 2003. I mean, in production a user on Outlook 2007 / Exchange 2007 can look up a user running Outlook 2003. So any ideas what my issue here is?

RE: Managing ActiveSync Rights for Users
Correct Org level over rides individual setting. You have to enable at the org level and disable all user, except the ones you want to use it. Here is the kicker, AD by default does not set a value for the attribute which means it is enabled when the account is created. There is no way to change the default so all new accounts will have this option enabled. I used ADModify and did a search where the attribute is not set, then batched a disable for the accounts. Then as the group that creates accounts creates new accounts they need to disable the option. As users are approved to use this you can enable the option.

If you're using ISA server to publish ActiveSync, you can use a Security Group in the Users portion of the publishing rule; it works quite well. From: Sean Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 12:25 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Managing ActiveSync Rights for Users Windows 2003 AD Exchange 2003 SP2 I'm in the process of implementing Exchange 2003 ActiveSync in our environment. I'm trying to determine the best (read: most efficient) method of granting/disabling ActiveSync for a large number of users. We have a separate department responsible for creating/maintaining user accounts and mailboxes so these procedures are aimed at entry level personnel. I'm just looking for feedback and/or better suggestions.

Exch2k7 RSG
Is it possible to restore or merge only the contacts folder using the Recovery Storage group to a specific mailbox? I cant find that option(at least in ECM), nor can I find an option in RSG to redirect the restore to a different mailbox which would prevent the user from getting duplicates.
