Re: Outlook 2007 appointments?
She changed the attendees when she expanded the DL. = different meeting = new request to all. On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 6:35 AM, McCready, Rob rob.mccrea...@dplinc.comwrote: We have a user that sent out a calendar appointment for the entire company (about 1,000 people). She then later needed to send out an update and add a few people, so she expanded the distribution lists and added several names. Exchange/Outlook then sent out a cancellation to the original 1,000 users, followed by a new invite for 1,005 people. Has anybody else ran into this? It seems like Exchange/Outlook should just update the appointment without first cancelling it??? Exchange 2007 SP1 Outlook 2007 SP2 Thanks. Rob

Where did you get UTF-22? Anyway, this message is multi-part/alternative. The first part is the message in US-ASCII and the second part is the message in Unicode (supposedly). However, the second part, which is supposed to be in Unicode, isn't. It's also in US-ASCII. OWA and Outlook prefer Unicode over ASCII; so that is what they are trying to display - ASCII as if it were Unicode. I don't have Outlook 2007 handy any more, but in Outlook 2010, you have More Actions - Other Actions - Encoding - US ASCII that will allow you to override the specified encoding in the message.

Obligatory warning: I would never do this without a written letter from C-level company management. You could be held liable for any content you see in someone else's mailbox. The right answer is for you to have an exchange administrator login that is separate from your domain administrator login. Then add the exchange administrator login to have full-control over each mailbox database.

Then that's fine - you've got a policy and affected parties are informed. In the US, courts have gone both ways when a policy doesn't exist.

Sorry, coming in late here The Circular Logging setting doesn't take effect until the IS is restarted. So...you can have restarted the IS 90 days ago, changed the setting 89 days ago, and if you haven't restarted the IS since then, the new setting won't take effect. From: Joseph L.

RE: defrag (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Good morning Jeff: I know this is going to draw more incoming fire than a convoy in indian territory out here, but here goes. I've used defraggers on my Exchange servers for quite a while now. Once the Exchange EDB and STM files become stable in PHYSICAL SIZE, it's safe to run the defragger. I've used PERFECTDISK for a number of years. The procedure I use is this; shut down and then disable the Exchange server services (normal maintenance cycle, scheduled outage, whatever), run an defrag of the system files (usually you have to set the system file defrag, then reboot the server). Allow the system files to defrag. Defrag the data drives where your EDB and STM files reside. Defragging your transaction log files is a waste of time since they will go away and be recreated the next time you do a full back up anyway. Once this is all done, re-enable your Exchange services and reboot the server. Everything should come up clean. Unless you move data files around to different directories or drives, you shouldn't have to defrag your data partition again as the physical size of the files will not change, just the ratio of used space to whitespace inside the database files.

On one of my mailbox servers the data partition that has the ex db files shows 96% fragmentation. (looking at file fragmentation using windows sys tools defrag util). I've seen posts that say the util will skip the .edb file so it's ok to go ahead and run, but I think I've actually seen defrag hang on an .edb in the past. What do you recomend/use IF ANYTHING to do file level defrag of files on a partition with exchange files on it. I am NOT asking about defraging the exchange files.

RE: Permission to open all mailboxes (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Hey James: That's great for normal everyday operations, but if you have to enter a mailbox for a specific reason, legal discovery, evidence of possible wrong doing, you better have the legal department or some other high level officer provide you a memo authorizing you for the specific task. You can get thrown under the bus and be open to civil liability. I've been involved with enough Army investigations out here that we ask for memos routinely to authorize access. You may have the technical capability to access everyone's mailbox, but that's a big difference from having the authorization to do so. Also, courts are hair splitting when it comes to administrators having 'access' for technical things, like troubleshooting and moving mailboxes, etc. and having 'access' for criminal/civil discovery, management searches and the like.
