I can second Michael's statement. I've recently deployed FOPE and one of the 
1st things I did was decommission my ETS.

Sorry, but I've got another basic question.  Can't wait to actually get my 
training.

In our environment only the MS Forefront Online Protection Server are allowed 
to 'touch' our email servers to deliver messages.  We don't have a formal DMZ 
per se, but all the servers sit behind Cisco firewall and IPD/IPS systems.  In 
this environment do we actually need ET servers?  As it stands now our Exchange 
2003 servers deliver messages directly and receive messages only via the FOPE 
system.  Can the HT servers do all of our message reception and delivery, both 
internal and external?  Or should we still implement ET's if only to protect 
AD?  We won't be running Forefront or Antigen anyway, since all inbound mail is 
processed by FOPE anyway.

Thanks.

Exchange 2007 depends on the registry, configuration files in the Exchange

There are KB articles that define what you theoretically need. But they are, 
unfortunately, incomplete (altho they may have been accurate at the time they

Good morning,
 
We've recently upgraded our server to SBS2k8 which run Exchange 2k7.
 
Because of an error when ordering our backup hardware we're using a 
non-standard 
way to backup our server.  I'm having to configure it manually.
 
I've got our data files backing up with no problem but can't seem to find the 
what I need to backup for Exchange 2007.
 
I've googled etc. with no luck.  Because we're running SBS2008 instead of a 
standalone Exchange box most of what I've found doesn't seem to apply.
 
What am I missing?

  How are you doing your backup?

  You can't just use a simple file copy to backup Exchange.  In fact,
doing so can even cause Exchange to malfunction, if the backup
software manages to lock a file that Exchange then tries to open.

Outlook offline

2010-11-04 Thread Steve Hart
We only have half a dozen laptops in the company, but they all seem to 
occasionally experience Outlook going offline. I suspect that this is when the 
computers are taken off the network and then returned.

If the user unchecks the Work Offline button, they immediately connect and all 
is well. The problem is that our users typically don't notice that Outlook is 
offline and then it creates troubles when they don't receive new emails.

Is there a setting or anything else we can change to fix the issue?

Changing Exchange server IPs

We're in the final stages of moving from one Exchange 2007 server to another.

One of the remaining tasks is reconfiguring about a dozen old apps and pieces 
of hardware that send mail using IP addresses to send to the new server. 
Someone has suggested the alternative of changing the old email server to a 
different IP and giving the new server the existing server's IP?

Using Eseutil to copy other files

2010-11-04 Thread Jim Holmgren
Just got out of a meeting with a business partner of ours.  

We need to copy a large SQL database from their location to ours over a
WAN link.  Their DBA suggested using ESEUTIL for the copy.

I thought he was crazy until I did a little digging myself:

Yeah, you got tripped up in the default roll up that PowerShell does.

Regardless of which, I like one-liners and would do it slightly differently. To

RE: Power Shell and Multi Valued Attribute

2010-11-04 Thread Campbell, Rob
When you use select-object, you're creating custom objects with whatever 
properties you specify to select.
When you select just one property you get objects that only have one property, 
but that property still needs to be referenced by its property name using the 
same dot notation you'd use to specify one of multiple properties  - 
object.property.
See if this works better:

$GroupMem = (Get-Group AD_GROUP).members | select DistinguishedName
ForEach ($Member in $GroupMem)
{
Write-output $member.distinguishedname
get-mailbox -id $member.distinguishedname

RE: 2010 mailbox server memory question

2010-11-04 Thread Michael B. Smith
I don't care whether you put it on C: or elsewhere - but follow the 
recommendations. RAM + 10 MB. Don't make it system allocated, it'll fragment 
the hell out of your C: volume (or where-ever you put it). Set it fixed size.



Exchange will use the paging file as backing store. This is somewhat 
different than traditional swap file usage. Don't second guess the 
recommendations.

the Paging File.  Before changing it to System allocated, I wanted to just 
double check.

I said that as far as I knew from TechNet, Exchange best practices 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719.aspx

The page file size minimum and maximum must be set to physical RAM plus 10  MB


The HW folks said, “Unless you want to be able to perform memory dumps in the 
event of a STOP error (I've never had an occasion where they were useful), 
there's not any advantage to having a page file that large.  If a server is 
paging a lot, it doesn't have enough RAM, which is why these servers were given 
a large amount of RAM to avoid excessive paging to begin with.”

What do you suggest for memory allocations for a Mailbox Server ?

servers, but we still have some old versions of Outlook out there.


I have and EFORMS REGISTRY folder with no replicas and an inside that an 
Organisation(409) folder that I've successfully replicated to the new server.


I have an Events Root folder that is set up for replicas on both servers. 
Get-PublicFolderStatistics fails on this one, so I haven't verified 
replication. I'm not sure if I still need this and I've no idea how to verify 
replication before I remove the replica from the old server. There are two 
folders in this one EventConfig_EXCHANGE2 and EventConfig_EXCHANGE3, names of 
our long gone Exchange 5.5 servers. Neither have replicas.


Next is a folder called OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK with no replicas. This contains 
5 folders that end with Default Offline Address List, Exchange Administrative 
Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT), WBGKENT, WBGPPM and WRIGHTBG. The last three are names 
of our old E2000 Administrative Groups. The first two have replicas set up for 
both servers, the last three have replicas only for the old server. Do I need 
replicas of the last 3 on the new server as well. Get-PublicFolderStatistics is 
failing on these too. How do I verify replication?


Next I have 6 OWA Scratchpads, one with a replica of the new server and 5 with 
a replica on the old. I think I can ignore these. Correct?


After that is the SCHEDULE+ FREE-BUSY folder with no replicas. Inside here are 
for folders ending in Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT), WBGKENT, 
WBGPPM and WRIGHTBG. All ciurrently have replicas only on the old server. I'm 
guessing I need to add replicas of each to the new. Correct?


Then I have Schema-root with a replica on the old server. I should set up a 
replica on the new I presume?


Finally I have 6 StoreEvents folders, one with a replica of the new server 
and 5 with a replica on the old. I think I can ignore these. Correct?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Steve

  Interesting.

  Sounds like ROBOCOPY needs another switch.  :)

if you DON'T set /z or /b, the performance is pretty close, with eseutil 
winning by a few points due to larger buffers.
