RE: Bug trying to send Update to a Cal event in OWA 2010
We have about 25,000 EAS users here, many of whom have multiple devices. About 40 percent of those are iPhones/iPads and most the rest are Android devices though we still have a smattering of PalmOS, WebOS hanging around too. I personally have a Samsung Epic, a WebOS and a PalmOS device all syncing flawlessly with my mailbox. We do see some scattered issues with iPhones, most of which are related to calendars. On the Android side almost all of the issues we see are related to older devices (the Motorola devices have been the most problematic). I have not looked recently but if we have more than 100 people using TouchDown I'd be stunned. TouchDown works well but you do lose some of the tight integration features you get with the native clients. One thing I would suggest when you are troubleshooting. if you have a user or device that has issues try removing the ActiveSync policy from the user. After you do that delete the device association and set it back up again. The overwhelming majority of the issues we've had are related to how the devices handle policies.

E2010SP1 Max Folder Depth / Max Folder Path Length?
Hello all, We had a helpdesk frontliner trigger an interesting...phenomenon...in Exchange yesterday. I don't have the full details, but I was told he was trying to copy a calendar folder from his Live@edu mailbox into his on-premise Exchange mailbox (Outlook 2010; he had both mailboxes in separate Exchange-type accounts). For whatever reason, the copy failed, and he went to do something else. When he went back to Outlook a minute or two later, instead of the process actually failing he now had 232 (I counted) Calendar-type folders. These folders were in one single hierarchy, like so: /Calendar /Calendar/Work /Calendar/Work/Calendar /Calendar/Work/Calendar/Work And so on, until the final Calendar folder was 232 levels deep, with a path length of 1,622 characters. The Calendar folders had zero items in them, while I think the Work folders had maybe six items each. Anyway, said student tried to delete the folder structure in Outlook but couldn't. (I don't know what error it gave him there.) He then tried to delete the structure in OWA, but it didn't work there, either; it kept giving a permission denied message. (I theorize that OWA didn't know *why* it couldn't delete the folder, so it defaulted to you must not have permission. But I could be way off-base.) So, they called me. I loaded up the mailbox in Outlook, saw it fail, so I went to MFCMapi and tried to delete it there. However, every time I tried, the mailbox would disappear for a few seconds, come back with a MAPI_PARTIAL_FAILURE (that's not quite correct, but I didn't write it down yesterday), and not actually delete anything. I then decided to export his mailbox as a PST and exclude the /Calendar/Work/* folders in order to reimport into a clean mailbox. As I'm running Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics, in a slow loop, the cmdlet errors out with an error similar to Cannot get statistics for request because the database is dismounted on the mailbox server. Uhh...what? To make a long story endless, it turns out that something to do with this huge folder structure seems to have been crashing the information store, or at least caused it to dismount the database...and then all the rest of the databases on that server seemed to dismount as well. The crash happened multiple times before I killed the export request, and I went back and found out that every time I tried to delete one of the folders using MFCMapi it would also cause the database to dismount-hence why the mailbox went away for a few seconds, until the DB was remounted on another DAG member. It was at about this point that the frontliner called back and told me it was okay to just delete his mailbox and restore from backup, which was A-OK by me. So my question to y'all is: has anyone seen that behavior before? Is there a max folder depth in Exchange 2010? (I couldn't find one via Google.) A max folder path character count? (Again, I couldn't find one using Google.) And even if there was, is the expected result that ...the database blah was stopped (MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store 9539)? Thanks for any help or cluesticks anyone can provide.

Re: OTish: Blackberry Professional stops working
Update:
The user I'm working with says he did a diagnostic on his handheld,
and that it passed on the BB registration, is connected to the
network, and that the BB Pin-Pin passed, but that it failed to contact
the server.
He's pulled the battery, and will put it back in after 1/2 hour.
Also, I stopped all of the BB services on that box for 1/2 hour, then
restarted, with no joy.

Re: Analysing e2k10 transaction logs
I think the OP is referring to the Exchange database's transaction logs, which are not human readable text. That said, I did run across the link below by Googling exchange transaction log parser. It mentions 2007, but may be applicable to 2010 as well. Basically, the author uses the *nix strings command to find readable text and then slices and dices the output a bit. It's very much like what Kurt proposes, but takes into account that the Exchange logs are not pure text. Looks very useful, actually.

Re: Analysing e2k10 transaction logs
Hmmm, what I took away from that thread is that the 'strings' approach failed to produce useful output for any respondents, whereas ExMon turned up all sorts of potentially useful stuff including the source of 'Log Bytes'. Being familiar with 'strings' and having a vague notion of what might be lurking in an Exchange transaction log, this is not at all surprising. ;) I am kind of surprised that 'strings' found anything without specifying UTF16LE encoding though, given Microsoft's unstoppable penchant for UCS-2. --Steve On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 11:51 PM, Richard Stovall rich...@gmail.com wrote: I think the OP is referring to the Exchange database's transaction logs, which are not human readable text.
