 Hi All,



 I have been asked to setup Active Directory Rights Management  
 server. My question is, does anyone have a way to perform email  
 discoveries when using ADRMS? I get asked by Legal and HR almost  
 weekly to do email searches and our current email discovery  
 software, Discovery Attender from Sherpa Software, can’t open the me 
 ssages that are secured by ADRMS.

 Thanks,

Re: R2 VSS backup issue

Interestingly enough, I ran a successful backup this morning after unloading 
Trend Office Scan and also waiting until Backup Exec was finished. I have 
another one scheduled for 10 AM with Trend loaded but BUExec idle.

You need to be looking at: 



A] are you releasing and deleting snapshots after you copy them to the backup 
drive? 



B] how much VSS storage space you allow and whether the current backup now 
exceeds it. 



Check out the vssadmin command.

2008 R2 server using  VSS to backup Exchange 2010 to a network shared folder.

Publishing items in users agenda

2010-03-26 Thread Vandael Tim
Hello all,

As a school we want to publish the teachers lessons directly into their agenda.
Anyone here knows a way to do this?
Or maybe a paid solution what can do this.

Our lessons are available in ics format.
It is possible to open the public ics in their outlook, but we want to push 
them into their personal agenda.
This way it is also synchronized with the mobile, owa, ...

We use Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007 for all our clients.

Configureing OWA 2K10 in Coexistence

2010-03-26 Thread John Bowles
All-

I'm setting up an server with all the roles on one server.  Currently the 
client is using https://webmail.company.com to access their webmail externally 
to their E2K3 box.  What I want to do is use that same name on the E2K10 CAS 
server and have E2K10 handle all OWA request for both servers (e2k10, e2k3).  
What I'm unsure of is how do I setup redirection so users won't have to type 
out https://webmail.company.com/owa?

Thank you,



John Bowles



RE: Configureing OWA 2K10 in Coexistence

2010-03-26 Thread Michael B. Smith
There is no such thing as CAS-to-FE proxying.

However, you can configure the CAS to redirect the user to the Exchange 2003 
server.

Typically, you will do something like this:


Set-OWAVirtualDirectory CAS2008\OWA* `

-Exchange2003URL https://legacy.example.com;

And the Exchange 2003 server will have the 2010 SAN certificate loaded which 
includes legacy.example.com. This does necessitate that you have TWO external 
IP addresses.

You configure redirection the same as you did in Exchange 2003 and/or Exchange 
2007 - you put a redirection script in the root of the website, whether it's 
ASP, ASPX, Perl, or whatever.

RE: Outlook 2007 - Win7 - Password Prompts - confusion??

2010-03-26 Thread terryl (Terry Lynch)
Hi James,

 

If your Windows 7 systems have e1kexpress Event ID 27 in the system log,
then you should also take a look at the SipsEnabled System Idle Power
Saver (SIPS) in the Advanced tab of your Intel NIC. You may need to
update the Intel NIC drivers to see the SIPS feature in the Advanced
tab?

 

Check out the Intel discussions below on the 82567LM NIC that ship with
new Dell systems.



http://communities.intel.com/message/80336

http://communities.intel.com/thread/9913
http://communities.intel.com/message/72785

 

Not only can this setting cause Outlook 2007 to prompt for password, but
it may also corrupt the OST file.

 

Here is a tool that can be used to control the SIPS feature:

I have an issue with outlook that I'm finding a little difficult to
troubleshoot.  Trying to search for ideas is like finding a needle in a
haystack.

 

Infrastructure details:-

 

Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 clients.

Outlook 2007 SP2

Exchange 2007 SP1 with Update Rollup 7

Outlook Anywhere in use

ISA Server in the mix but for this issue it is all internal.

 

These clients are laptops connected to the network via wired and
wireless (they are sitting on a dock) at the same time.  Outlook has
been opened without any issues and has been in use.  If the user then
undocks the laptop the following occurs:-

 

XP SP3 clients reconnect to the Exchange server and it's all pretty
seamless.  The user doesn't notice.

Windows 7 clients attempt to reconnect to the Exchange server but fails
and then prompts the user for credentials.  Entering the creds just
results in continuous password prompts.

 

If the user then closes and reopens Outlook on the Windows 7 client all
is well.

 

Going the other way (from Wireless to Wired) there is no issue.

 

Any suggestions are more than welcome!!



RE: Configureing OWA 2K10 in Coexistence

2010-03-26 Thread pramatowski

And the Exchange 2003 server will have the 2010 SAN certificate loaded which 
includes legacy.example.com.


Upgrading our existing cert costs more than just getting another cert for 
legacy.mycompany.com so a silly question…

An existing cert for mail.mycompany.com points to 2K3 FE’s.  
Could we move the mail.company.com to the CAS array and get a separate 
legacy.company.com cert  on the  FE's?

Assume we’re not using OutlookAnywhere externally so (hopefully) no need for  
autodiscover.mycompany.com.

/confused:)


RE: Configureing OWA 2K10 in Coexistence

2010-03-26 Thread Michael B. Smith
Sure, you can do that.

The disadvantage is that you'll have a short switchover timeframe during which 
the FE will probably not be accessible. (That is, the interval between when you 
put in the new certificate and update your DNS and then the DNS propagates to 
everwhere you need it to.)

Using a SAN certificate containing the old and the new name avoids that.

Exchange 2010 install w/coexisting E2K3 Organization

I filed a bug, and they fixed one instance of the issue, but apparently the 
larger issue is that setup creates objects that may not be replicated in AD by 
the time setup goes back to try to use them.

This is a common issue. And some of the problems cause fatal setup errors, this 
one doesn't happen to be a fatal issue.

Really?  It blows my mind by just running a typical installation that is guided 
by MS would create issues like that.  Thanks again Mike for your help... you've 
been very insightful on many occasions for me.

Sure have.

It was very common in 2007 migrations and only slightly less so in 2010 
migrations. Just create the Interop-RGC.

All-

I installed an Exchange 2010 server into an Exchange 2003 organization(1 E2K3 
server, 1 E2k10 server).  All the pre-req's passed with no problems, exchange 
installed fine.  One issue is that when Exchange 2K10 was installed it didn't 
create RGC between to the two servers, also the E2K10 server doesn't show up in 
the created admin group during installation.  So no, I cannot replicate PF's or 
send mail between servers.

Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Thank you,



John Bowles

Which AV for Exchange are you running?
I had a similar issue with an earlier build of Forefront (was my fault though 
as I had downloaded a version that wasn't quite 2010 compatible).

No. I doubt highly that they are related.

In both cases, you should be getting event log entries providing clues.

Crap!  As I solve one issue, another arises.  I'm trying to log into my test 
account via owa (https://server.company.com/owa) I get the login page.. but 
when I submit my credentials it times out on me.  Even when I try and access it 
from IIS Mgmt Console it gives me the same issue.

Another issue is when I restart my server the DB's never mount.  I have to 
manually mount them each time. I'm wondering if the above issue is directly 
related to this.

E2K3-E2K10 PF Replication

2010-03-26 Thread John Bowles
All-

I'm trying to replicate my public folders from E2K3 to E2K10.  I've set all the 
limits for replication up to 2GB (seemingly that's as high as you can go on 
either RGC and PF DB).  Problem is that my replicas are getting queue's up on 
the RGC between the two servers.  Am I missing something here?  All message 
sizes seem to be under the allotted size limitation.

Thanks,



John Bowles

Yea, PF replication traffic queue is slowly dwindling down.  Will I not see the 
replica's on E2K10 until all the traffic has been replicated?  Or should I be 
able to view what's been replicated over in ESM2k10?

Define queued up?

Is traffic passing, but only 2 or 3 messages at a time? Are email messages 
passing first with no delay? (They should be.) etc. etc.

PF replication can cause a huge backlog at the transport layer. In general, 
that really isn't a problem.

2010-03-26 Thread Michael B. Smith
Did you replicate the hierarchy? That should be your first step. :)

Otherwise, you should see the replicas as they backfill, absolutely.

Get-publicfolder -server whatever \

Shows you what folders are on what server (exchange 2007 and above)
