RE: PSTs

2011-01-12 Thread Ellis, John P.
No FAQ but
 
1. Depending on the setting used, PSTs don't like being over 2gb before
needing attention
2. If left stored locally and the PC/Laptop goes TU your knackered
3. Slow response if used over a network (IIRC MS don't recommend the use
of PST over a network)
4. Yet another place for Emails to be stored
5. Not easy searchable if a FOI request is made
6. Outside the scope of a Email retention policy
7. Can eat up available disc space with ease if not controlled, sometime
users/clients/customer/staff dont realise.
8. Almost the same as 2, If emails are stored in PSTs and users delete
important emails, they are not easy recoverable because they may not be
backed up!

Outlook Web Access attachments

2011-01-12 Thread Osborne, Richard
Exchange 2003 SP2 Outlook Web Access.  I have an e-mail with two .XLS
attachments where one opens directly and one has to be saved to disk
first.  .XLS is not in the Level1FileTypes or Level2FileTypes registry
key on the OWA server.  

Why the difference in behavior?  It seems like it could be because of
the Level1MIMETypes  Level2MIMETypes registry keys.  Can different
attachments have different MIME types and how can I tell?

Thanks.

RE: Exception message: The start time has not been set.

2011-01-12 Thread Sobey, Richard A
I do believe we have the same issue, and more:

1) Clicking on Calendar folder in OWA Premium crashes IE, but works fine in 
Light mode.
2) Some Calendar items have no start date, making them corrupt.
3) ActiveSync cannot sync Calendar meeting requests.

However, the Exception message we get is different. I'll try and dig out some 
examples if you like.

I have confirmed that moving an affected mailbox (only done this once, to a 
test account that was experiencing the problem) to Exchange 2010 and back again 
resolved at least one of those problems (1).

We run Exchange 2007 SP2 RU5, all roles on separate servers.

Cheers

Richard

Subject: Proxying vs redirection - pros and cons

We're a single AD site and running Exchange 2007/2010 in coexistence pending 
migration of the users.

Are there any pros and cons for using proxying vs redirection when an 
ActiveSync client tries to connect to an Exchange 2007 mailbox using an 
Exchange 2010 CAS?

I'm struggling to get redirection to work due to the myriad of devices that 
simply don't work, so I'm looking at proxying instead.

What effect, if any, will removing the ExternalURL properly from my 
Microsoft-Server-Activesync virtual directory have? i.e. what will it break? :)

Cheers

Android Contacts

2011-01-12 Thread James Kerr
We now have shiny new android phones and my CEO brought me his phone and
showed me an issue he's having. The issue is that instead of just syncing
his contacts folder like our Win Mobile phones for the contacts on the
phone, it is syncing every single contact, other folders with contacts,
distribution lists within those folders, and even all the public folders he
has setup as outlook address books in Outlook on his desktop. Anyone know a
way to only sync the contacts folder instead of absolutely EVERYTHING? My
wish would be to be able to sync the default outlook contact folder and
select public folders but I have the feeling that this is not possible. If
not does anyone know of any third party apps? Touchdown perhaps?

From our experience, the default mail application on some of the Android

out the 2.3 update.  To my knowledge we have not encountered the issue you

RE: Android Contacts

2011-01-12 Thread Rhett Thatcher
Are you using Outlook 2010? If so, I had a similar experience. After I switched 
to the new version of Outlook I ended up getting a lot of strange contacts on 
my Android. Turns out there is a setting under Outlook Options -- Contacts -- 
Suggested Contacts. Having this checked created a new contacts folder on 
Exchange called Suggested Contacts and those had been syncing to the device and 
it ended up getting filled with a bunch of junk. I turned that off and deleted 
all the contacts and all was well.

Are you using Outlook 2010? If so, I had a similar experience. After I switched 
to the new version of Outlook I ended up getting a lot of strange contacts on 
my Android. Turns out there is a setting under Outlook Options à Contacts à 
Suggested Contacts. Having this checked created a new contacts folder on 
Exchange called Suggested Contacts and those had been syncing to the device and 
it ended up getting filled with a bunch of junk. I turned that off and deleted 
all the contacts and all was well.

Upon further review it looks like its not syncing PFs but he has contacts

2) Some Calendar items have no start date, making them corrupt.
3) ActiveSync cannot sync Calendar meeting requests.

However, the Exception message we get is different. I'll try and dig out some

I have confirmed that moving an affected mailbox (only done this once, to a

resolved at least one of those problems (1).

We run Exchange 2007 SP2 RU5, all roles on separate servers.

We’re a single AD site and running Exchange 2007/2010 in coexistence pending 
migration of the users.

Are there any pros and cons for using proxying vs redirection when an 
ActiveSync client tries to connect to an Exchange 2007 mailbox using an 
Exchange 2010 CAS?

I’m struggling to get redirection to work due to the myriad of devices that 
simply don’t work, so I’m looking at proxying instead.

What effect, if any, will removing the ExternalURL properly from my 
Microsoft-Server-Activesync virtual directory have? i.e. what will it break? :)

We haven't; since we couldn't confirm if it was a problem caused by mobile 
devices or a bug in Exchange I think we decided to carry on trying to gather 
information and see if there was a common cause.

We haven't seen any new occurrences since the New Year though, the servers got 
RU5 on or around the 17th December last year courtesy the wrong button being 
pushed in WSUS, and were rebooted at the same time.

Do you know something I don't? :)

For us, it wasn't causing a critical issue like an entire server load of people 
would have, and our workaround was to recreate mailboxes. Downtime for each 
affected user was 3 minutes - 30 minutes depending on the size of the mailbox. 
If we had no workaround, you can be sure we'd have been on the phone :)

No. I've just seen the complaint several times although none of my personal 
customers have experienced it (and let me open a PSS call). The PM I pinged at 
MSFT said they didn't have any issues like this trending up (i.e., a growing 
call volume) and he wasn't aware of it. So... call records are things I can use 
to push attention. If people don't care enough to open a call, MSFT considers 
the issues not particularly important.

(Note: that's a generalization. But a fairly accurate one.)

We haven't; since we couldn't confirm if it was a problem caused by mobile 
devices or a bug in Exchange I think we decided to carry on trying to gather 
information and see if there was a common cause.

We haven't seen any new occurrences since the New Year though, the servers got 
RU5 on or around the 17th December last year courtesy the wrong button being 
pushed in WSUS, and were rebooted at the same time.

Do you know something I don't? :)

Have you opened a case on this Richard?

I do believe we have the same issue, and more:

1) Clicking on Calendar folder in OWA Premium crashes IE, but works fine in 
Light mode.
2) Some Calendar items have no start date, making them corrupt.
3) ActiveSync cannot sync Calendar meeting requests.

However, the Exception message we get is different. I'll try and dig out some 
examples if you like.

I have confirmed that moving an affected mailbox (only done this once, to a 
test account that was experiencing the problem) to Exchange 2010 and back again 
resolved at least one of those problems (1).

We run Exchange 2007 SP2 RU5, all roles on separate servers.

Cheers

Richard

Thanks, that might be a clue. No BES, but the affected users have smartphones. 
I am out for training for the rest of the week, I will dig in Monday. If I get 
no where I will open up a PSS and certainly report the findings either way.

I asked around about this - the only comment I got was to also ensure you are 
current with BES and BES/X if you have either in your environment...

Yes, fully current.  I keep up with that pretty well. Hub Server is also the 
CAS role. Then two mailbox servers. CAS sits behind ISA.

I've seen this somewhere. Are you current on SPs and URs?
