Oggetto: Ost to Pst Utility for recovery



  The unthinkable happened to one of our Exchange 2003 databases. The database 
when offline for an unknown reason. Corruption was detected when the database 
was put online. The database could not be repaired. The last successful backup 
/ restore attempt failed. End users went into Outlook 2003 cached mode which 
orphaned the ost file with the data. Now the only alternative seems to be to 
convert the orphaned ost file to a pst file to recover the data. 

   So is anyone aware of a good ost to pst converter utility pay or free? 
Google gave me a few results but I would like to know what is used by other 
Exchange admins?

Hrmmm... okay, I've been trying to use Windows 2008 Server Backup to make an 
Exchange 2010 Enterprise backup, but it *always* fails the consistency check. 

I can Google and find out what my options are, but I wanted to maybe get some 
opinions from the brilliant minds on this list first (and Shook, even) about 
what my first step SHOULD be.

(Don't hurt me)

Thanks!

RE: False Mailbox Size Limit Warning?

Check the Sync Issues folder in his mailbox. We ran across that same question

Thanks to all who replied. We did not find any of the symptoms that you

overnight. We'll wait and see if it was just an anomaly or what.

Upgrade Standard to Enterprise Exchange 2010

2010-10-12 Thread Robert Peterson
We are in the middle of migrating Exchange 2003 to 2010. We have a dual 
environment setup working well. We have started migrating the mailboxes from 
2003 to 2010. All is well, but

We have discovered two of the mailbox servers were built as Exchange 2010 
Standard servers which is limited to 5 databases. We are being told we can 
apply our Enterprise license key and the servers will then be Enterprise.  
However the only key that we know of comes down with the Enterprise download 
from Microsoft's License site, and its embedded in the download.

Does anyone know the facts about upgrading Standard to an Enterprise 
license?

Thanks,
Robert

RE: Upgrade Standard to Enterprise Exchange 2010

2010-10-12 Thread Simon Butler
All you have to do to upgrade is put the key in. Nothing else.

Exchange 2010 doesn't require activation. The core binaries are the same and as 
far as I am aware there are only two keys for Exchange 2010 around, one for 
Standard and one for Enterprise.

RE: Upgrade Standard to Enterprise Exchange 2010

2010-10-12 Thread Michael B. Smith
All the released binaries of Exchange are supposed to be identical (trial, 
standard, enterprise); differing only in the product key you enter to enable 
Exchange (using the GUI or using Set-ExchangeServer -ProductKey). That's been 
true for all my clients (retail, open, and select). That's the process 
described here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232170.aspx and 
here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124582.aspx.

If you don't know what your key is, use a tool like Belarc to find out.

Re: Relaying with Exchange 2010 Nagios

Good morning Folks!
Well, tis Tuesday (Monday for us Canucks) and I figured I'd get back at
trying to figure out why the Nagios box isn't sending emails correctly
(you'll have to forgive the after Thanksgiving mind melt).

I can telnet from that box to our Exchange server and I receive the emails
just fine. Seems to be pointing to either a Nagios hard-coded email server
name or Fedora hard-coded email server name.

RE: Exchange 2010 DB SIS question and user placement

2010-10-12 Thread Michael B. Smith
My larger clients tend to group users based on: [a] mailbox quotas, and [b] 
first initial of last name.

[A] makes sense to me (so you specify a quota based only once per mailbox 
database and not for each and every user). [B] is purely arbitrary and is just 
a way to split up users between databases.

Some also have separate mailbox databases for VIPs - to be restored first in 
the event of a catastrophe.

But that's starting to go away since Exchange 2007 and CCR; even more so with 
Exchange 2010 and DAGs...

I would aim for a common size.

Subject: Exchange 2010 DB SIS question and user placement

We are currently running Exchange 2007 and we are formulating our plan to move 
to Exchange 2010.  Currently users are logically located on specific databases 
based on their department.  This was primarily for the Single Instance Storage 
for 2007 and DB's.  Now with 2010 I'm to understand that the SIS is gone.  So 
my question.  Is there any reason to continue to group users based on their 
department designation to specific database or would it make more sense to 
randomly spread them between various Databases.  Is there any technical 
advantage to placing like users who correspond between each other onto the same 
database?  Message will still have to hit the hub for the mail delivery.  If we 
randomly move users to various Databases, I would think that our DB's would 
average about the same size for the most part...more so than is the case right 
now since some departments have a high user base and some have a low user base 
and our DB's range from 13 gig to 175 gig.

Most manageable and useable corporate smartphone?

2010-10-12 Thread Paul Hutchings
I'm asking both lists as I guess Exchange compatibility is just as
important as general management.

 

So, which smartphones would you choose assuming things like mobile
network coverage weren't an issue.

 

I've no direct experience of Blackberry, I have (sadly!) too much Nokia
experience, and iPhones seem to more or less just work with Exchange but
as with Nokia's I'm not aware of any way I as an IT person can sit at my
desk, specify an action/policy or something that should apply to all
our phones and hit a big button that says make it so - I believe
Blackberry can do this?

 

I'm not really asking for a breakdown of everything each does as I can
get that from the respective websites, but I think you know where I'm
coming at this from once you have a few dozen devices.

 

Thanks.

RE: Most manageable and usable corporate smart phone?

2010-10-12 Thread Joe Pochedley
Blackberries have the most centrally manageable options…  However to take 
advantage of much of that functionality you need to pay for the Blackberry 
Enterprise Server (BES).  The free BES Express edition has many of the 
centralized management capabilities disabled, but it’s worth a look depending 
on your needs…..

Depending on your size, BES may or may not be a large expense (obviously, 
“large expense” is relative to your company’s income statement)  ☺   And BES 
may or may not require its own server (again, depending on various factors)…  
Plenty of info at the Blackberry site.

I’m asking both lists as I guess Exchange compatibility is just as important as 
general management.

So, which smartphones would you choose assuming things like mobile network 
coverage weren’t an issue.

I’ve no direct experience of Blackberry, I have (sadly!) too much Nokia 
experience, and iPhones seem to more or less just work with Exchange but as 
with Nokia’s I’m not aware of any way I as an IT person can sit at my desk, 
specify an action/policy or “something…#157; that should apply to all our 
phones and hit a big button that says “make it so…#157; – I believe Blackberry 
can do this?

I’m not really asking for a breakdown of everything each does as I can get that 
from the respective websites, but I think you know where I’m coming at this 
from once you have a few dozen devices.

Thanks.

RE: Most manageable and usable corporate smart phone?

If you are looking for something that “just works” in a corporate environment 
without much end-user drama, Blackberry is it.  

 

They don’t have all the eye candy or apps, but for pure corporate messaging and 
calendar functionality plus policy enforcement, they still can’t be beat (IMHO).

RE: Most manageable and usable corporate smart phone?

2010-10-12 Thread Simon Butler
Do ensure that you are comparing like with like, and also consider that the UK 
mobile phone market is a lot more advanced than the USA one, so some of the 
reasoning is different.

The Blackberry pricing structure changed considerably earlier this year, which 
makes anything you read that pre-dates 2010 pretty much out of date.
Until that point, to use the full Blackberry feature set you needed BES (or 
BPS) and the BES option on the devices. That made the Blackberry devices very 
expensive to run. Here in the UK, you were looking at £35/month plus call 
charges etc. My Blackberry cost me more to run than my phone used for voice.
However, I never once paid for BES. If there were more than 10 devices I told 
the service provider that I wanted BES free, and if they didn’t hand it over, I 
would talk to someone else. The profit on BES data is so high, that they hand 
it over.

However now, that has all changed.
You can now run a Blackberry against BES Express on the BIS plan. BES Express 
is free for as many devices as you want. Therefore you can run a Blackberry, 
with all of the features that the end user wants on the cheaper BIS plans. My 
Blackberry now costs me less than £15/month to run.

Of course if you want the full BES functionality, that means you need a full 
BES (which you rarely get free unless you have a large number of handsets or 
are bringing in a lot of business) and you must have the full BES data option 
on the devices. That makes the cost still pretty high.

This PDF from RIM outlines the differences between the options available to you.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/business/server/express/ComparisonChart_NA_021610_v3.pdf

As for other choices, you will not get full management without paying for 
additional software.
For the iPhone, you would have to look at third party. For Windows Mobile, you 
would be looking at SCCM or whatever it is called now, or third party. Everyone 
is still playing catch up with Blackberry for the Enterprise management.

Good Technologies (http://www.good.com/) is about the closest you will get to 
Blackberry and has cross-platform support if you need that. However if you can 
standardise on the device and don’t allow non-company devices to be used, you 
will find it easier to support and more cost effective.

what we’re already contractually obliged to so that’s for someone else here to 
look into, but I would imagine we spend enough to have some leverage (or maybe 
that’s just wishful thinking)

 

From that PDF the free BES server looks like it may have potential, I guess the 
difference is in that list of the policies you get with free vs. paid.

 

Frankly I don’t think we’re likely to want to do anything out of ordinary, it’s

Blackberries have the most centrally manageable options…  However to take 
advantage of much of that functionality you need to pay for the Blackberry 
Enterprise Server (BES).  The free BES Express edition has many of the 
centralized management capabilities disabled, but it’s worth a look depending

Exchange Defrag / VMWare / Windows Server 2003 / Exchange 2007

2010-10-12 Thread Bruce Berkow
We are running our Exchange 2007 on a Windows Server 2003 server that is 
running as a virtual machine under VMWare ESX 3.5

Anyone know if I can run it the same as you would on a regular standalone 
machine?

The last time I ran an Exchange defrag it was on Exchange 5.5.  Is there 
anything signficantly different that I should know before preceding?

Thanks in advance.

How to extract Calendar Items from Server that has been offline for a couple yrs.

2010-10-12 Thread Chyka, Robert
Is there any way to extract calendar items for a particular user from a
server that has been in a closet for 3 years?  I do not want to plug it
back into our network and have it mess with our current e-mail server.
I want to turn it back on with no network connectivity.  Is there any
tool I can use with the local Admin account to extract old calendar
items for a particular user?

 

Thanks for your help.

 From that PDF the free BES server looks like it may have potential, I guess
 the difference is in that list of the policies you get with free vs. paid.



 Frankly I don’t think we’re likely to want to do anything out of ordinary,
 it’s just that *anything* we want to do right now depends on having the
 phone in our hand, literally.

 Do ensure that you are comparing like with like, and also consider that the
 UK mobile phone market is a lot more advanced than the USA one, so some of
 the reasoning is different.



 The Blackberry pricing structure changed considerably earlier this year,
 which makes anything you read that pre-dates 2010 pretty much out of date.

 Until that point, to use the full Blackberry feature set you needed BES (or
 BPS) and the BES option on the devices. That made the Blackberry devices
 very expensive to run. Here in the UK, you were looking at £35/month plus
 call charges etc. My Blackberry cost me more to run than my phone used for
 voice.
 However, I never once paid for BES. If there were more than 10 devices I
 told the service provider that I wanted BES free, and if they didn’t hand it
 over, I would talk to someone else. The profit on BES data is so high, that
 they hand it over.



 However now, that has all changed.
 You can now run a Blackberry against BES Express on the BIS plan. BES
 Express is free for as many devices as you want. Therefore you can run a
 Blackberry, with all of the features that the end user wants on the cheaper
 BIS plans. My Blackberry now costs me less than £15/month to run.



 Of course if you want the full BES functionality, that means you need a
 full BES (which you rarely get free unless you have a large number of
 handsets or are bringing in a lot of business) and you must have the full
 BES data option on the devices. That makes the cost still pretty high.



 This PDF from RIM outlines the differences between the options available to
 you.


 http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/business/server/express/ComparisonChart_NA_021610_v3.pdf



 As for other choices, you will not get full management without paying for
 additional software.
 For the iPhone, you would have to look at third party. For Windows Mobile,
 you would be looking at SCCM or whatever it is called now, or third party.
 Everyone is still playing catch up with Blackberry for the Enterprise
 management.



 Good Technologies (http://www.good.com/) is about the closest you will get
 to Blackberry and has cross-platform support if you need that. However if
 you can standardise on the device and don’t allow non-company devices to be
 used, you will find it easier to support and more cost effective.

Essentially the Digicert wildcard certificates seem to get universally good

It seems a bit of a gray area when you get to handhelds (Nokia, iPhone mainly)

RE: SSL Wildcard Certificates?

2010-10-12 Thread Simon Butler
I am pretty sure that wildcard support on Windows Mobile came in with one of 
the version 5 updates, not sure which though. Due to the way that different 
devices got different versions most people tend to say Windows Mobile 6 or 
higher because that was the first version to support them in all variants. 

For other platforms, it is hit and miss. I know some Nokia's do support 
wildcard certificates, but I know that Blackberry doesn't NOT like the Digicert 
wildcard - which is connected to the root that they use. 

Although I personally don't use wildcards in any of my Exchange deployments. I 
have used wildcards for web sites, but on Exchange, I want to use SSL with TLS 
and not all non-Microsoft MTAs can use them.
