Conversations containing internal and external recipients can be done from a single email client, not 2. * Easier management of your AV solutions. Currently you HAVE to make sure end-users are always up to date on their AV signatures. * Active-Sync/ Blackberry devices. want email on that iPhone/Android(?) * Meeting invites extend to external recipients. If your recipients also use Exchange or other rich client, you can send meeting invites from Outlook and they can actively respond and maintain it in their own calendars. * Fewer viruses written for Outlook than OE (no statistical info on hand, but OE is often a target with open AB) On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 12:28 PM, David McSpadden dav...@imcu.com wrote: I am looking to write a justification letter for merging my two email clients into one.

Minor issue but nagging
Greetings, So I have a user that has had some changes done to their computer and now Outlook does not act the same. Outlook 2007, Exchange 2003, the issue?

RPC/HTTP Revisited
The other day I posted a question regarding rpc/http in an Exchange 2003 environment where the FE nlb cluster Exchange is sitting in a DMZ - turned out that Checkpoint was overriding some of the allow rules with it's smart defense stuff. Have a different problem now. I am on the local network with a fully patched Windows XP virtual machine, and a fully patched installation of Outlook 2003. If I set up a standard user profile and configure it without rpc/http no problems, as soon as I add the exchange proxy settings for rpc Outlook just continually prompts for a password, and goes no further (I am not asking Outlook to remember my password here - I want to have it accept it when I put it in) Any tips on what I am doing wrong here would be greatly appreciated.

Is the computer in question on the domain? Have you tried changing it to NTLM Authentication?

If it still doesn't work, use the rpccfg /hd command to verify the ports are correct. Jay Dale I.T.

Segregating multiple Exchange e-mail addresses in Outlook
(Apologies for the length of this message.) We are a small Exchange 2003 shop with several companies working under the same roof. Several of our employees present themselves publicly as representatives of more than one company. For example, Bob T. Salesrep works for two companies and must keep his outward presentation such that customers of company A only see e-mail from CompanyA.com and customers of Company B only see messages from CompanyB.com. My preference has always been to have separate Outlook profiles for each brand. There is almost zero chance of accidentally sending messages from the wrong e-mail address if there is a hard wall between accounts. Until I read about ExtraOutlook (thanks Ken Schaefer) I always thought that using multiple Outlook profiles meant having only one instance of Outlook open at a time, which is a pain. I have one user who likes using ExtraOutlook, but the others refuse to do so for some reason. A previous admin devised a scheme for using POP via a separate account created in Outlook to retrieve mail for the secondary accounts. This does work in that it collects all the mail into one mailbox and replys are directed from the correct sender. Original e-mails must be sent by choosing the correct account. And to the point. I'm looking at upgrading to Exchange 2010. Obviously each AD account will continue to require a server CAL and an Exchange CAL if we stay with on premise Exchange and the current setup. For those users with multiple identities (that does seem accurate sometimes, btw) this means two CALs of each type. Are there any changes in Exchange/Outlook 2010 that would allow this subset of users to accomplish what they need without requiring multiple CALs? In the past I have created DGs for the secondary accounts and given Send As permission to the users' AD account. This kept the CAL count down, but everyone hated it b/c it was too confusing and did not deal with issues such as replying to incoming mail without manually changing the sender every time the replies needed to go out under the address associated with the DG. The other reason I'm asking is because I'm also considering moving to a hosted solution. It would definitely push us beyond the limit of affordability if two monthly recurring charges were required for each person representing more than one company. Does anyone have any experience with hosted Exchange and a situation similar to this? Thanks for any suggestions or comments, RS

Two questions - Exchange 2003 2010
We are preparing to upgrade to Exchange 2010 from Exchange 2003. We presently have a test environment setup. Our 2003 test server is unable to send to our 2010 server. We can send from 2010 to 2003 and from 2010 to Internet addresses (i.e. non acadiau.ca addresses) but we're unable to send from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and from Exchange 2010 to other non-Exchange addresses within our domain (i.e. acadiau.ca addresses on other servers). Exchange 2010 appears to be trying to deliver them locally. Any pointers? Everything appears to be configured properly but obviously we've missed something. Also - our Exchange 2003 server occasionally gets tied up trying to deliver messages to domains that are registered but their DNS servers aren't answering to accept email (1800thriller.com just this afternoon for example). Our Exchange 2003 server is configured to send through a Postfix server before going on to the Internet. Our Postfix server is sending the message back to Exchange with a 450 error. Exchange retries 1 minute later. And as is configured, this continues for 2 days until Exchange gives up (or if we delete before then). This isn't usually a problem unless 3 or 4 outgoing emails get in this state at the same time then all outgoing email comes to a halt. I previously read about this issue and the fix I found mentions to not make the change unless Microsoft Support Services advises (the only URL I can find this aft is http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/E xchange/Q_24771370.html. it references Exchange 2007 but it's the same sort of thing for 2003)We've been addressing this issue as it arises and we're hoping it'll disappear once we migrate to 2010. I was hoping someone on this list might know the answer to that for sure. Huge thanks in advance my apologies if these questions have already been asked answered. -- Tammy George Sr. Systems Operator Technology Services Acadia University tel: (902) 585-1158 fax: (902) 585-1066
RE: Segregating multiple Exchange e-mail addresses in Outlook
I think you misunderstand how CALs work. IANAL. That being said, CALs are either per-user or per-device. They are NOT per-account or per-mailbox. A single user could, for example, have 50 mailboxes and a thousand AD accounts. They still will only need one Windows Server CAL and one Exchange Server CAL (and one Outlook license). I wouldn't even attempt to authoritatively speak on a hosted environment without testing. My __guess__ is that you'd have to have one account for each user/company combination. However, Outlook 2010 completely simplifies this process. Outlook 2010 allows you to connect to multiple Exchange mailboxes in a single Outlook/MAPI profile. Each mailbox can have an individual identity and they are handled for you. The solution doesn't even require Exchange 2010; just Outlook 2010. You'll have one mailbox per user/company combination. Load'em each up into Outlook. Works fine. Tastes great. Less filling. If you need more information about how CALs work, see http://microsoft.com/licensing. You can also place a telephone call to a Microsoft licensing specialist. You don't have to identify yourself or your company and the call is free (at least in the United States). Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Richard Stovall [mailto:rich...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 12:19 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Segregating multiple Exchange e-mail addresses in Outlook (Apologies for the length of this message.) We are a small Exchange 2003 shop with several companies working under the same roof. Several of our employees present themselves publicly as representatives of more than one company. For example, Bob T. Salesrep works for two companies and must keep his outward presentation such that customers of company A only see e-mail from CompanyA.com and customers of Company B only see messages from CompanyB.com. My preference has always been to have separate Outlook profiles for each brand. There is almost zero chance of accidentally sending messages from the wrong e-mail address if there is a hard wall between accounts. Until I read about ExtraOutlook (thanks Ken Schaefer) I always thought that using multiple Outlook profiles meant having only one instance of Outlook open at a time, which is a pain. I have one user who likes using ExtraOutlook, but the others refuse to do so for some reason. A previous admin devised a scheme for using POP via a separate account created in Outlook to retrieve mail for the secondary accounts. This does work in that it collects all the mail into one mailbox and replys are directed from the correct sender. Original e-mails must be sent by choosing the correct account. And to the point. I'm looking at upgrading to Exchange 2010. Obviously each AD account will continue to require a server CAL and an Exchange CAL if we stay with on premise Exchange and the current setup. For those users with multiple identities (that does seem accurate sometimes, btw) this means two CALs of each type. Are there any changes in Exchange/Outlook 2010 that would allow this subset of users to accomplish what they need without requiring multiple CALs? In the past I have created DGs for the secondary accounts and given Send As permission to the users' AD account. This kept the CAL count down, but everyone hated it b/c it was too confusing and did not deal with issues such as replying to incoming mail without manually changing the sender every time the replies needed to go out under the address associated with the DG.

Re: Segregating multiple Exchange e-mail addresses in Outlook
Well that's excellent news. I can't believe I misunderstood that. It makes sense, I guess, if you turn it around. In my scenario three workers sharing a single AD account would only have required one CAL for the account instead of one for each human. And I always knew that wasn't the case. As always, thank you very, very much. On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 1:37 PM, Michael B. Smith mich...@smithcons.comwrote: I think you misunderstand how CALs work. IANAL. That being said, CALs are either per-user or per-device. They are NOT per-account or per-mailbox. A single user could, for example, have 50 mailboxes and a thousand AD accounts. They still will only need one Windows Server CAL and one Exchange Server CAL (and one Outlook license). I wouldn’t even attempt to authoritatively speak on a hosted environment without testing. My __guess__ is that you’d have to have one account for each user/company combination. However, Outlook 2010 completely simplifies this process. Outlook 2010 allows you to connect to multiple Exchange mailboxes in a single Outlook/MAPI profile. Each mailbox can have an individual identity and they are handled for you. The solution doesn’t even require Exchange 2010; just Outlook 2010. You’ll have one mailbox per user/company combination. Load’em each up into Outlook. Works fine. Tastes great. Less filling. If you need more information about how CALs work, see http://microsoft.com/licensing. You can also place a telephone call to a Microsoft licensing specialist. You don’t have to identify yourself or your company and the call is free (at least in the United States). Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com *From:* Richard Stovall [mailto:rich...@gmail.com] *Sent:* Wednesday, April 21, 2010 12:19 PM *To:* MS-Exchange Admin Issues *Subject:* Segregating multiple Exchange e-mail addresses in Outlook (Apologies for the length of this message.) We are a small Exchange 2003 shop with several companies working under the same roof. Several of our employees present themselves publicly as representatives of more than one company. For example, Bob T. Salesrep works for two companies and must keep his outward presentation such that customers of company A only see e-mail from CompanyA.com and customers of Company B only see messages from CompanyB.com. My preference has always been to have separate Outlook profiles for each brand. There is almost zero chance of accidentally sending messages from the wrong e-mail address if there is a hard wall between accounts. Until I read about ExtraOutlook (thanks Ken Schaefer) I always thought that using multiple Outlook profiles meant having only one instance of Outlook open at a time, which is a pain. I have one user who likes using ExtraOutlook, but the others refuse to do so for some reason. A previous admin devised a scheme for using POP via a separate account created in Outlook to retrieve mail for the secondary accounts. This does work in that it collects all the mail into one mailbox and replys are directed from the correct sender. Original e-mails must be sent by choosing the correct account. And to the point. I'm looking at upgrading to Exchange 2010. Obviously each AD account will continue to require a server CAL and an Exchange CAL if we stay with on premise Exchange and the current setup. For those users with multiple identities (that does seem accurate sometimes, btw) this means two CALs of each type. Are there any changes in Exchange/Outlook 2010 that would allow this subset of users to accomplish what they need without requiring multiple CALs? In the past I have created DGs for the secondary accounts and given Send As permission to the users' AD account. This kept the CAL count down, but everyone hated it b/c it was too confusing and did not deal with issues such as replying to incoming mail without manually changing the sender every time the replies needed to go out under the address associated with the DG. The other reason I'm asking is because I'm also considering moving to a hosted solution. It would definitely push us beyond the limit of affordability if two monthly recurring charges were required for each person representing more than one company. Does anyone have any experience with hosted Exchange and a situation similar to this? Thanks for any suggestions or comments, RS
RE: Two questions - Exchange 2003 2010
The cover article in May's WindowsITPro covers Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 migrations and covers everything that you have to set up for it to work properly. It'll be out next week. (I should know, I wrote it.) As a guess, without further information, I would guess that you do not have a bi-directional routing group connector or if you have one, it isn't properly configured (get-routinggroupconnector | fl -- from the Exchange Management Shell). Insofar as your second issue - if you want to change the retry interval, that's fine. But I would consider this more of a postfix issue. IMO, instead of returning a 450 error, postfix should be returning a 5xx error. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Tammy George [mailto:tammy.geo...@acadiau.ca] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 1:36 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Two questions - Exchange 2003 2010 We are preparing to upgrade to Exchange 2010 from Exchange 2003. We presently have a test environment setup. Our 2003 test server is unable to send to our 2010 server. We can send from 2010 to 2003 and from 2010 to Internet addresses (i.e. non acadiau.ca addresses) but we're unable to send from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and from Exchange 2010 to other non-Exchange addresses within our domain (i.e. acadiau.ca addresses on other servers). Exchange 2010 appears to be trying to deliver them locally. Any pointers? Everything appears to be configured properly but obviously we've missed something. Also - our Exchange 2003 server occasionally gets tied up trying to deliver messages to domains that are registered but their DNS servers aren't answering to accept email (1800thriller.com just this afternoon for example). Our Exchange 2003 server is configured to send through a Postfix server before going on to the Internet. Our Postfix server is sending the message back to Exchange with a 450 error. Exchange retries 1 minute later. And as is configured, this continues for 2 days until Exchange gives up (or if we delete before then). This isn't usually a problem unless 3 or 4 outgoing emails get in this state at the same time then all outgoing email comes to a halt. I previously read about this issue and the fix I found mentions to not make the change unless Microsoft Support Services advises (the only URL I can find this aft is http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/Q_24771370.html. it references Exchange 2007 but it's the same sort of thing for 2003) We've been addressing this issue as it arises and we're hoping it'll disappear once we migrate to 2010. I was hoping someone on this list might know the answer to that for sure.

I'll bite. This is the same behavior you see if you rename a user in AD/Exchange - Outlook does not reflect the new name unless you update their profile, even though the address book shows the correct entry. Removing and re-adding the shared calendar in their list of People's Calendars should allow them to re-add it with the new name - it will not delete the actual calendar.

Exchange PF on cluster
Currently we have a 2007 active/passive cluster running on 2008 enterprise and it works well. We have a front end server that has been doing hub transport services with, the a/v and anti spam etc. We have recently migrated over to a new spam/av product which is acting as an smtp connector so all mail transactions are simply handed off from the front end server to the connector and vice versa. In our migration process I was asked about putting the Public Folders, which were being stored there and not the cluster, so we can debate on getting rid of that server entirely or converting it to vm, but basically get the public store off it. I poked around and saw some different mentions of problems with doing it, so wanted to know if anyone is doing it successfully. Thanks
RE: Two questions - Exchange 2003 2010
I thought I would add a bit more info to Tammy's first question. Our two test servers are called EXCH2003 and EXCH2010. After the 2010 installation, two connectors were created and appear when using Exchange System Manager. In the First Routing Group (associated with EXCH2003), the new routing connector was called EXCH2003-EXCH2010. In the Exchange Routing Group (created by the 2010 install), another connector was created called EXCH2010-EXCH2003. These connectors cannot be modified with Exchange System Manager (complains that version 8 is required). Our understanding is that the first connector controls mail going from EXCH2003 to EXCH2010, while the second one controls mail from EXCH2010 to EXCH2003. They appear to configured properly, but obviously something isn't quite right. Email works from mailboxes on EXCH2003 to mailboxes on EXCH2003, from EXCH2010 to EXCH2010, and EXCH2010 to EXCH2003. However, EXCH2003 to EXCH2010 does not work, so our guess is that the EXCH2003-EXCH2010 connector is the one that is not working properly. If anyone has any suggestions on what to look for we would really appreciate it. We don't want to proceed with the production upgrade until we get all the details working in our test environment.

RE: Exchange PF on cluster
Always was told this was unsupported. However: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123996(EXCHG.80).aspx shows scenarios where it could work. I am not doing it, we have a dedicated PF server that also houses our Journal mailboxes. Cluster Continuous Replication and Public Folder Databases CCR and public folder replication are two very different forms of replication built into Exchange. Due to interoperability limitations between continuous replication and public folder replication, if more than one Mailbox server in the Exchange organization has a public folder database, public folder replication is enabled and public folder databases should not be hosted in CCR environments. The following are the recommended configurations for using public folder databases and CCR in your Exchange organization: -If you have a single Mailbox server in your Exchange organization and that Mailbox server is a clustered mailbox server in a CCR environment, the Mailbox server can host a public folder database. In this configuration, there is a single public folder database in the Exchange organization. Thus, public folder replication is disabled. In this scenario, public folder database redundancy is achieved using CCR; CCR maintains two copies of your public folder database. -If you have multiple Mailbox servers you can host a public folder database in a CCR environment provided that there is only one public folder database in the entire Exchange organization. In this scenario, public folder database redundancy is also achieved by using CCR. In this configuration, there is a single public folder database in the Exchange organization. Thus, public folder replication is disabled. -If you are migrating public folder data into a CCR environment, you can use public folder replication to move the contents of a public folder database from a stand-alone Mailbox server or a clustered mailbox server in an SCC to a clustered mailbox server in a CCR environment. After you create the public folder database in a CCR environment, the additional public folder databases should only be present until your public folder data has fully replicated to the CCR environment. When replication has completed successfully, all public folder databases outside of the CCR environment should be removed, and you should not host any other public folder databases in the Exchange organization. -If you are migrating public folder data out of a CCR environment, you can use public folder replication to move the contents of a public folder database from a clustered mailbox server in a CCR environment to a stand-alone Mailbox server or a clustered mailbox server in an SCC. After you create the additional public folder database outside of the CCR environment, the public folder database in the CCR environment should only be present until your public folder data has fully replicated to the additional public folder databases. When replication has completed successfully, all public folder databases inside of all CCR environments should be removed and all subsequent public folder databases should not be hosted in storage groups that are enabled for continuous replication. During any period where more than one public folder database exists in the Exchange organization and one or more public folder databases are hosted in a CCR environment (such as the migration scenarios described previously), consider the differences in behavior for scheduled (Lossless) and unscheduled (lossy) outages: -If a successful scheduled Lossless outage occurs, the public folder database will come online and public folder replication should continue as expected. -If an unscheduled outage occurs, the public folder database will not come online until the original server is available and all logs for the storage group hosting the public folder database are available. If any data is lost as a result of the outage, CCR will not allow the public folder database to come online when public folder replication is enabled. In this event, the original node must be brought online to ensure no data loss, or the public folder database must be re-created on the clustered mailbox server in the CCR environment and its content must be recovered using public folder replication from public folder databases that are outside the CCR environment.

RE: Two questions - Exchange 2003 2010
I spoke too soon. The change allowed a manual telnet session to work, but mail initiated from Outlook still gets hung up. Does Exchange use standard SMTP/port 25 protocol for inter-Exchange email transfers, or does it use something different?

Our two test servers are called EXCH2003 and EXCH2010. After the 2010 installation, two connectors were created and appear when using Exchange System Manager. In the First Routing Group (associated with EXCH2003), the new routing connector was called EXCH2003-EXCH2010. In the Exchange Routing Group (created by the 2010 install), another connector was created called EXCH2010-EXCH2003. These connectors cannot be modified with Exchange System Manager (complains that version 8 is required). Our understanding is that the first connector controls mail going from EXCH2003 to EXCH2010, while the second one controls mail from EXCH2010 to EXCH2003. They appear to configured properly, but obviously something isn't quite right. Email works from mailboxes on EXCH2003 to mailboxes on EXCH2003, from EXCH2010 to EXCH2010, and EXCH2010 to EXCH2003. However, EXCH2003 to EXCH2010 does not work, so our guess is that the EXCH2003-EXCH2010 connector is the one that is not working properly.

It'll be out next week. (I should know, I wrote it.) As a guess, without further information, I would guess that you do not have a bi-directional routing group connector or if you have one, it isn't properly configured (get-routinggroupconnector | fl ß from the Exchange Management Shell). Insofar as your second issue - if you want to change the retry interval, that's fine. But I would consider this more of a postfix issue. IMO, instead of returning a 450 error, postfix should be returning a 5xx error. Regards, Michael B.

RE: Two questions - Exchange 2003 2010
Well, you've identified the problem. You shouldn't have disabled the default receive connector. If you take a look at it, you'll see on the Permission Groups tab, that Legacy Exchange Servers is one of the options. Exchange servers speak to each other using a number of extensions to the SMTP protocol. Those extensions are only allowed when you enable the permissions. The default receive connector allows those permissions from Exchange servers (2007/2010) and legacy Exchange servers (2003). However, the Internet receive connector should only enable anonymous. Generally speaking, most people just enable the anonymous permissions on the default receive connector so they can get by with a single connector. And to answer your other question - Outlook and Exchange preferentially communicate using MAPI, not SMTP. Regards, Michael B.

RE: Exchange PF on cluster
These are actual Public Folders for calendars, we have faxing folders routing there and dozens of departments (the PF store is about 50GB). On the cluster side this isn't an actual CCR cluster, I don't think, this is a standard 2 server with DAS attached storage. Only one server is active at any one time. We are about 75% Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003 is almost phased out, maybe another 30-60 days. -Original Message- From: Michael B.
