Exchange 2007 and Windows 2008 R2
Just been reading about the issues with the above systems. Just for the record, does this mean that Exchange 2007 simply won't install on 2008 R2, or does it mean that Exchange 2007 won't work in a 2008 R2 Active Directory functional level? I was sitting about debating whether to raise my domain functional level to 2008 R2 when I came across these articles and now I'm not too sure TIA, JRR -- On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. http://raythestray.blogspot.com

RE: Exchange 2007 and Windows 2008 R2
I had a similar discussion at TEC in Berlin and back then the statement was that it wasn't going to be supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 but would have no problems running with Server 2008 R2 DC's or that functional level. The statement about Exchange 2007 has since been revised to indicate that it will be supported on 2008 R2 as the host OS but they haven't said when.

You wouldn't need a physical floppy drive for a VM environment. HyperV and Vmware (and I would presume other VM environments) allow you to mount a floppy image into the virtual floppy drive.

Restoring E-mail Folder in Exchange 2003
Hello All: I have a dilemma in where the Exchange Server that I inherited does not have restrictions set on the mailboxes. So mailboxes are large and I am in the process of convincing management that we need to set limits since our disk space is getting low. So in order to keep disk space from getting all used up, I do not have Deleted items retention turned on at the server level. Our president of the company accidentally deleted a very important folder in his mailbox and needs it back. What is the best way to get this folder back? Do I need to setup a recovery server and restore to that server so that I can pull this folder out of his mailbox? We are using Exchange 2003 SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Thanks for your input!

RE: Restoring E-mail Folder in Exchange 2003
You need a recovery storage group. This can be homed on a dedicated recovery server or your current server. When you do the mailbox database restore, it will automatically restore to the RSG, and you can then use exmerge to extract the data you require.

Insert company logo in email?
Exchange 2003 / Outlook 2003 I have been asked to find out what is involved in inserting our company logo at the bottom of all outgoing emails. We use Outlook w/ Rich Text (we do not allow HTML email per a GPO) IIRC, there was a free program... GF something... that could do this? Or maybe it only did disclosures (text)? Obviously, I could send out instructions to have everyone manually edit their signatures to add the logo... but I'd rather have it automated. Thx
Re: Insert company logo in email?
I'll be using the Vipre email security to do this (formerly known as Ninja). Not free, but it definitely is value added antispam.

RE: OT | Favour
Yes but he said he didn't have a floppy drive and your solution still requires a floppy drive. Images of the three NT4 install/boot floppies are all over the Internet (leagaly). For example: http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/nt.html The .img files can easily be opened with a variety of tools for inspection and can be used with Vmware to install. ~JasonG
Re: Insert company logo in email?
We use DisclaimIt for our Disclaimers. It's pretty inexpensive (~$2/user) does disclaimers on plain text or html http://www.netal.com/disclaimit.htm In the past I had pictures attached, but we've recently started hosting our pictures and placing them as a link. Adding pictures to a disclaimer can make searching for a file with an attachment problematic, as people will generally reply to an email you originate and it will leave the attached picture in the email. This became the primary reason we started hosting the picture and linking it.

RE: Restoring E-mail Folder in Exchange 2003
Yup, you'd need to perform the restore from CA after setting up your RSG. For a basics guide on the RSG, check this out: http://www.petri.co.il/restoring_exchange_mailbox_recovery_storage_group_part1.htm Out of interest, I'm not familiar with CA Arcserve or, of course, your backup strategy, but you may be doing brick level backups which would enable you to recover an individual mailbox, or items from the mailbox, without recovering the entire database. You'd need to look into that and I can't give you any advice on it.

RE: OT | Favour
Andrew, 1) I find it extremely hard to believe that the OP doesn't have access to a floppy drive in any way... No access to a floppy drive through coworkers, other machines in the business (assuming this is for business), friends, family, old machine sitting unused in storage, etc etc...? Heck, a USB floppy drive can be bought at the local Wal-Mart or electronics store for $15 if the OP was that desperate to get this done... Even if the OP didn't have access to a floppy and wasn't willing to part with $15 there are NT4 boot-disk images available already on the 'net which can be found in the first hit on Google with the right terms... Whether the OP trusts those images or is willing to work into that grey legal area is totally up to him... 2) Did you even bother to read my whole response? I also gave a solution that doesn't require a floppy drive (in any way). Yes, it may require more time and effort to create a new bootable CD, but it negates the need for a floppy altogether. 3) In short, I provided two solutions, at least one of which should help the OP work through his problem.

RE: Restoring E-mail Folder in Exchange 2003

RE: OT | Favour
Jason, AFAIK, Microsoft has never released the boot floppies as image files, and if they did I would think they would have them available on the Microsoft.com site for download.

Hence I'd be concerned about the total legality of allbootdisks.com distributing the disks.

Public Folder migration
Hello, We have 6 Exchange 2003 servers that host PFsthat are essentiallyour replacement for PST folders. We could not manage discovery items, etc when people were using PST folders. What we did was create a PF for each employee under the PF for the local office. IE: My folder would be Rick Fischer and located in the San Diego parent folder. What we would like to do is organize all offices onto the same server but on the 2003 servers they are whereverthey were created depending upon available space at the time. What I would like to do is use Move Replicas Too.. function to move all replicas from a 2003 server to a new 2007 server. I would then be able to use PoSh to do tree moves of PFsonto the servers I really want them on. Now I get to my question. If I use Move Replicas Too... will it overwhelmthe Hub server? I assume that if I set replication to only run during the hours of 8pm and 4am, that would help. Is it possible to setup a temp Hub server and force the 2003 server to use it without creating a new site in AD? Creating a new site would require changing IPs and that is not going to happen. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. If my explanation is unclear, please ask and I will clarify. Thanks, Rick

RE: OT | Favour
Hence I'd be concerned about the total legality of allbootdisks.com distributing the disks. Microsoft never really seems to allow third parties to re-distribute Microsoft code unless it's specifically cleared as redistributable... It's a grey area for sure. That's true, but historically, Microsoft is very quick to issue take-down notices. The site I mentioned and several others have been up for many years now. Of course it might now go down now since it's been made abundantly public ;) Then again, running a live NT4 box is completely unsupported anyway so obviously the OP's employer doesn't much care about supportability. oh woops, we have at least two NT4 boxes running here, one only @ SP4!

RE: Public Folder migration
How much data are we talking about here? And how big/small are the inter-site pipes? I doubt highly you'll overwhelm the hub server. Replication traffic is low priority by default. It's more important to consider the impact on your Internet and WAN connectivity. Regards, Michael B. Smith Exchange MVP Owner: The Essential Exchange http://TheEssentialExchange.com/blogs/michael From: Rick Fischer [mailto:uscgolflo...@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 10:36 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Public Folder migration Hello, We have 6 Exchange 2003 servers that host PFs that are essentially our replacement for PST folders. We could not manage discovery items, etc when people were using PST folders. What we did was create a PF for each employee under the PF for the local office. IE: My folder would be Rick Fischer and located in the San Diego parent folder. What we would like to do is organize all offices onto the same server but on the 2003 servers they are wherever they were created depending upon available space at the time. What I would like to do is use Move Replicas Too.. function to move all replicas from a 2003 server to a new 2007 server. I would then be able to use PoSh to do tree moves of PFs onto the servers I really want them on. Now I get to my question. If I use Move Replicas Too... will it overwhelm the Hub server? I assume that if I set replication to only run during the hours of 8pm and 4am, that would help. Is it possible to setup a temp Hub server and force the 2003 server to use it without creating a new site in AD? Creating a new site would require changing IPs and that is not going to happen. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. If my explanation is unclear, please ask and I will clarify. Thanks, Rick

List of spam emails
Is there a way to create a list all email blocked as spam by Exchange 2007 itself? We don't have any other email gateway in place. Believe it or not, I have an accountant who wants to browse the list.
'Missing' public folder
I went to create a distribution group (Exchange 2003 SP2, Server 2003 AD - 2003 functional level) and could not give it the email address I wanted because the address already exists in the organization, e.g x...@123.com. A search through AD indicates that there is a mail enabled public folder that holds that email address. However, I can only find that public folder with an AD search. I cannot see it in Exchange System Manager. Am I missing something? The public folder in question has a very old create date. Is it possible that I can't see it in System Manager b/c I don't have rights to it? (The account I'm using is an Exchange Full Administrator and a Domain Admin.) It was almost certainly created by a former admin who has been gone for years. Stumped and grateful for pointers, RS
Re: 'Missing' public folder
The folder most likely has the same name as its SMTP address. Assuming you have only one Administrative Group, if you open up the System Manager for Exchange, navigate to Administrative Groups/[admin group]/Folders/Public Folders, then you'll see the list of public folders. At that point, you can search for the PF by name in the right pane.
