Sharing Calendars
Hello all... We have a need to share both Outlook 2003 and 2007 calendars with people outside of our Exchange org. Is there a 3rd party app that you could recommend for this? We have Exchange 2003 fully patched. Thanks!

I removed logon permissions from the rest of the machines in my domain and had the outsiders use OWA to see the calendars they needed. Now they can see the calendars they need, and schedule meetings with internal contacts without needing to call up an admin and have them check calendars for them. -Bill On Thu, May 6, 2010 at 9:06 AM, Bill Lambert blamb...@concuity.com wrote: Hello all...

Whatever PSS did, it reset the perms on just about everything to Authenticated Users and Creator Owner with Read. Running the RU9.. Whipped out process explorer and exempted everything but deny errors. Started the install and for about 30 mins jumped to each registry key to manually take ownership and inherit permissions. That’s after setting the top level manually but not resetting inheritance. Then I get to an area that virtually every key is wrong for like 200 down, and many of them don’t have anything to do with Exchange. SubinACL is not supported for 2008, PSS…yep called them back…said that may have happened as a result of what we did, but it wasn’t intentional.. Do you have a backup??? Might be dangerous and just reset the inheritance at the top and see what happens. Trusted installer and several others that are owners shouldn’t be affected. Cant be any worse than what it is now. Probably going to exmerge the Exchange data, copy the files and rebuild a new SBS box and move everything back in.. Joy.. Rejoin computers to new domain.. Move favorites, reimport..Good thing I started another SBS install at 4pm when I saw this thing getting bad.. Greg

We actually did a POC of Exchange 2010 to Unity. Currently we have Unity setup in a standalone forest so it is completely separate from our Exchange side. Management is wanting to integrate VM into the users mailbox so we have Unified Messaging. Me as the AD/Exchange guy I did not like the idea of installing Unity in our primary domain because it requires a lot of elevated rights that would then be available to our telecom guys, via the Unity management console. So I opened my mouth and suggested looking at Exchange 2010. We currently have Exchange 2007, but that lacks the MWI (message waiting indicator) interface unless you use a 3rd party. So we setup a lab with Unity and Exchange 2010 and I configured the same options that we are using on Unity. The only thing I could not get on the Exchange side was a voice mail box that had no greeting, Exchange requires some kind of recording. We did the side by side comparison with management and they like the idea of going to Exch 2010. The integration into Outlook, accessing contacts and calendar items, and the VM preview we key things they liked. Going with Exch 2010 also allowed me to keep the telecom team from having elevated rights in the domain. We will UM enable a user in the same process as creating the user. So now I am starting a project to upgrade our Exchange environment to 2010 from 2007. Still in the design phase.

Moving Exchange to new Hardware...
Hello again, all... I've completed all the necessary tasks in preparation of removing the first Exchange 2003 server from my admin group per KB 822931. I'm at the point where I should be putting in the Exchange CD in the old server and removing Exchange. However, I'm noticing a large difference in the .edb and .stm files between the two servers. The new server's files are much smaller than the files on the old machine. Is this normal? What could account for the difference? Is it safe to remove Exchange from the old server?

I've moved his mailbox and he can get to his email box fine. When I try to configure him for rpc, I get a repeating login screen. Accessing OWA over the internet is fine too. All other rpc users have been connecting fine since I moved their mailboxes. Google didn't come up with anything specific to this problem. Any ideas on what could be wrong? He has XP pro with Outlook 2007. Thanks for any tips! Bill Lambert Windows System Administrator Concuity A healthcare division of Trintech, Inc.

I have a user who got a new desktop PC with Outlook 2007. She had Outlook 2003 on her old machine and stored her archive folders on a file server in her user directory.

RE: a little gun shy (also sent to the Exchange list)
Thanks, gents, for the replies and article from Sean. Very helpful. Now I'm at the point where I am installing E2K3 on the new box. Right after the licensing agreement page, I get a screen that says The Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services component requires a user name, domain, and password for the existing Exchange 5.5 installation service account. Type the information in the fields below. Below that is a grayed out field for both Username and Domain. The Password is available but I have no idea what password it wants. If I try to click next without a password (or a guessed password) I get a window that says This account must be valid before continuing. I'm adding this server to an org that only has one other Exchange 2003 server. Google didn't find anything relevant. Any ideas anyone? Thanks again in advance!

February Project
Hello all... In early February I'll be getting a new box for our Exchange 2003 Enterprise edition. I have been trying to prepare for this as much as possible but have some questions. The current Exchange is running on Windows 2003 Standard and I want the new box to have Windows 2003 Enterprise to take advantage of the support of larger amounts of memory and CPU's (and because I have a license for it). Will this present any move/migration problems that I should be aware of? Any advice/comments/suggestions/questions would be hugely appreciated! Thanks.

RE: February Project
Thanks, Sean, for the informative reply. I'll be sure to check out the links you sent along. I tried to get E2010 approved for this year's budget but was told that it would have to wait until 2011. We are a division of a larger company so change comes slowly here. So I'm stuck with 2003 for another year. I inherited this server which is also a domain controller. I want to get Exchange on its own box so this will be a challenging project as it's only me doing Windows admin.

While Windows 2003 Enterprise may support memory beyond 4GB, Exchange is still limited to less than 4GB. If you plan on installing more than 4GB, you'll want to add some options to your boot.ini (/3GB, /USERVA=3030, /MAXMEM=4096). I believe the suggested values for USERVA and MAXMEM may vary slightly, so I would start by researching their intended utilization. Using the MAXMEM switch limits the OS to the value you specify. Since it is recommended you limit Exchange 2003 to 4GB or less, you may not be gaining much by having more than 4GB memory installed. Note: I've always used the /MAXMEM switch, but apparently it is recommended you use the /BURNMEMORY switch as it can account for memory holes.

RE: Forefront?
Wow...what a great responses! Thanks, everyone for the input. I'm going to be meeting with the tech's from other offices tomorrow and will suggest Forefront for Exchange and client machines as a possible solution. If I'm reading the literature correctly, FF for Exchange does do antispam so that's encouraging. And it comes with an installation of SQL that is dedicated to FF. Again, thanks a million!

Some if the things you need to watch out for are whether you are putting it on Windows 2008 or 2003, do you own SQL 2005 or 2008, are you using any of the System Center products. Like John the EDU discount just about kills any price competition. I use it here for that reason. I have had to touch it rarely, it works, it does seem to catch bugs, but it is not simple to setup if you have any of the mixture I mentioned to watch out for. There is a new version coming out that I hope will remove many of the issues I had. It does need a full SQL to install and function correctly but it can be installed without the management portion but why do that. Considering how hard NOD32 was to set up and get running Forefront could be done by a teenager. Considering just the install of the management portion NOD beat on the install but getting the configuration correct was much easier to do on Forefront. If you have any specific questions I will try to help but there are others using it that I know have more experience than me on the llist.

Basic Recovery Info
I need to have a temporary recovery plan for Exchange until later in the year when we will be purchasing a more permanent solution. For now if my (single) Exchange server is lost, I will have to build another 'recovery' server and restore the information store from tape to that server. I've been unable to find documentation on this anywhere and a call to MS wasn't much help as they wanted me to do clustering as a recovery method or install Double Take. These are options for later in the year but because of budgeting constraints I have to use the this temporary method. Has anyone had to do this and if so, is there documentation you can recommend? For example, do I need to run forest and/or domain prep before I install exchange on the recovery server? I would name the recovered server the same as the lost server with the same IP address so Outlook clients would be able to connect...are there any caveats in doing that? The environment is W2K3, Ex2003 all fully patched (including the recovery server). Clients are both O2K3 and O2K7 all on fully patched XP boxes. Thanks for any help you can lend.

I've checked the timezone settings for all the machines she uses and the server, and they are all set to the same time. All the clocks are sync'd with a time server.

Exchange fail-over
Hello all... I want to have a stand-by Exchange box that can act as a fail-over in the event I lose my active Exchange server. I understand that this can be accomplished by clustering. Google has a zillion links about Windows/Exchange clustering so I was hoping the experts here could recommend a link where it would be a good place to start learning how to do this. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Environment is W2K3 Servers and Exchange 2003, clients are a mixture of O2K3 and O2K7...all fully patched.

RE: Exchange fail-over
Thanks, all. It looks like Double-Take is the way to go. Bill Lambert Concuity 847-941-9206 From: Clayton Doige [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008 9:31 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange fail-over I have not tried 2007 SCR as yet, but have read a lot on it. SCR looks good, but do you really want to be doing stuff in command line when the boss is standing over you wondering when email is going to be back on line? The thing is, if you go to 2007 then you need to pitch your servers for 64 bit, and get the appropriate OS as well. If you are just wanting to get your existing data to an existing standby box, then Double Take is the way to go. The software will configure your target server so that all of the appropriate services are set to manual and stopped. When you failover it will update AD, and add the SPN for the source server to the target server, plus make any required changes in DNS. Users only have to restart Outlook if they were signed in at the time of the failover. And it can be controlled with one mouse click as opposed to having to type correctly when the poo hits the fan. On 18/03/2008, Michael B. Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DoubleTake (as someone else mentioned) and NeverFail are the typical recommended solutions. MessageOne is a typical 3rd party provider providing message continuity. However, I would recommend you upgrade to Exchange 2007 and use LCR or SCR; which are built into the product. If you really actually want to do active/passive Exchange clustering, search on technet.microsoft.com http://technet.microsoft.com/ for SCC - Single Copy Clustering. Regards, Michael B.

RE: Missing FROM

Great...thanks for the tips, all!

If it's not there then you are probably using Word as your editor. In that case you can find it in the side drop down menu for the Options button. Select it in either location and that will toggle the field on or off. Once you turn it on it will be there for all messages until it is turned off. If it is left blank the message will go from the primary account for that Outlook profile. -Original Message- From: Bill Lambert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 11:14 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Missing FROM I don't even see a From field in our Outlook 2003, 2007 machines when preparing a new message.

Blackberry or Outlook automatically forwarding messages
A weird thing happened to just one of my users this morning. Several messages in her inbox were automatically forwarded to the same internal user. She discovered it on her Blackberry and was not physically connected to Outlook via her laptop when it happened. I've searched Google but no help. Has anyone ever seen this and know the cause? E2K3, OL2003, BES is the environment. NOTE: I'm send this to the NT and Exchange lists. Thanks for any clues!
