RE: Unable to remove additional mailboxs in Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010?

2011-02-03 Thread Brad Metzler
Back again,

Still baffled on this, but more information. Our network admin was kind enough 
to detach my mailbox to change types which apparently blew away all of my 
exchange attributes (quotes, smtp addresses, etc...). Interestingly enough, 
after this I am still having the problem with those extra mailboxes showing up 
in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2007. Sometimes on the client they will show up in 
the list of additional mailboxes, but removing them is ineffective as they show 
right back up in the folder list a few minutes later but no longer in the 
additional mailbox list.

It would seem these connections are not part of exchange attributes but 
something actually stored in/with my mailbox. They're not part of the Outlook 
profile as I have deleted and created a new one several times. In-fact I have 
created new windows profiles and new Outlook profiles on two clients and have 
the same issue. I have no desire to delete and recreate my mailbox quite yet so 
still looking for other ideas.

Riddle me this:

Added three additional mailboxes to Outlook 2010 to assist HR with something.
Later, removed those three mailboxes from the profile.
Next day, noticed they still show up on the left under my list of mailboxes.
Check additional mailbox tab in the profile, not there.
Right-click to close, and get a notice saying to remove from the profile.
Go back to the profile, they don't appear as additional mailboxes, nothing to 
remove.
Make new profile, they're still there.
Go to new computer with Outlook 2010 and log in for the first time, make new 
profile, and they as still there as well.

It appears the server side is somehow making these mailboxes always show up in 
my list. Anyone know why? They don't show up in OWA or Outlook 2007, so I'm 
guessing it's an Exchange/Outlook 2010 feature? Thanks

Confirmed, that was the problem.

I'm going to join you in the 'not a fan' boat on this one. Interesting idea, 
might be helpful here and there, but for most people I'd rather it not do this. 
They really do need to add a way to control this feature by admins...

Thanks Simon,

For the purposes of this list I will point out from the linked article that the 
attribute msExchDelegateListLink can be edited to remove people from your 
mailbox without removing your full permissions to the mailbox. I haven't tested 
this myself but it appears that is a possible workaround when needed. Article 
it is a good read though to understand how and when this new feature actually 
works or is invoked.

Thanks guys!

Go back to the profile, they don't appear as additional mailboxes, nothing to 
remove.
Make new profile, they're still there.
Go to new computer with Outlook 2010 and log in for the first time, make new 
profile, and they as still there as well.

It appears the server side is somehow making these mailboxes always show up in 
my list. Anyone know why? They don't show up in OWA or Outlook 2007, so I'm 
guessing it's an Exchange/Outlook 2010 feature? Thanks

Outlook 2010/Exchange 2010 SP1/Win7 32bit.

RE: Unable to remove additional mailboxs in Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010?

2010-11-11 Thread Brad Metzler
Bob,

Already tried killing OST's on new profiles, but more importantly, same problem 
on new machine, new user profile, new outlook profile. It has to be coming from 
server. Doesn't seem .ost would be related.

Riddle me this:

Added three additional mailboxes to Outlook 2010 to assist HR with something.
Later, removed those three mailboxes from the profile.
Next day, noticed they still show up on the left under my list of mailboxes.
Check additional mailbox tab in the profile, not there.
Right-click to close, and get a notice saying to remove from the profile.
Go back to the profile, they don't appear as additional mailboxes, nothing to

Anyone else know any more about this?

Originally it only affected our Droid 2 users, but since the 2.2 update now our 
original Droid users and it sounds like possibly some others are seeing this. 
We verified no password requirement in the policy on the server.

Finding Delegates on a mailbox

2010-04-01 Thread Brad Metzler
There is difference between delegates set in Outlook and delegates set on a 
mailbox on the server. I believe I understand how to view and modify delegates 
on the mailbox using EMC or EMS for Exchange 2010. However, how does one 
view/modify the delegates that were set in Outlook without actually opening the 
mailbox in Outlook, or is this even possible?

Delegates Error on Exchange 2010

2010-03-22 Thread Brad Metzler
I am experiencing the following error message when trying to add/remove/modify 
delegate rights.

Cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission 
to perform this operation on this object.

It occurs on mailboxes migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.

We originally discovered it when creating profiles for resource mailboxes and 
attempting to modify their delegates while logged in under our own credentials 
with Full Access to the resource mailbox. The program did not occur when 
opening our own mailboxes and modifying our own delegates, however we are now 
finding users who cannot modify even their own delegate rights.

Additionally the options underneath the delegate rights are also grayed out for 
these users.

We have attempted adding the Write Exchange Personal Information permission to 
the SELF account on the mailboxes as suggested in some Exchange 2007 guides 
online, but this has not resolved the issue.

Anyone else running into this and have a resolution?

Brad


RE: Delegates Error on Exchange 2010

2010-03-22 Thread Brad Metzler
Thanks, have you actually used this with success?

The issue I have right now is that a user is getting this error on his own 
mailbox and there are Full and Send As rights granted to SELF for his mailbox. 
Eventually I will need to deal with the delegate rights on the room resource 
mailboxes also, but for the moment this appears to be another issue. Also, when 
testing, I tried granting myself full and send as rights on a room for testing 
and still received the delegates error when I made a profile for that room and 
tried to modify delegate rights. So I understand using a role group to give 
Full and Send As rights to resource mailboxes, but what about when you get the 
error when you already have those rights?

John, in my personal experience, I find that outdoor cats left to wander the 
neighborhood rarely limit themselves to just the neighbor next door. That said, 
their natural tendency for laziness would suggest there is a radius in which 
the homes must be in order to receive their regular ‘treatment’. I expect this 
radius could be scientifically correlated to how fat the particular cat in 
question may be.

Backup Exec and Exchange 2010 Gotcha

2010-03-12 Thread Brad Metzler
Since there is another Exchange backup thread it may me think to just throw 
this up for those who use Backup Exec and are looking to go to Exchange 2010. 

First, if you're running something before Backup Exec 2010, you'll need to 
upgrade to get support for Exchange 2010.

Second, the Exchange management tools are required on the Backup Exec 2010 
server. For Exchange 2010 this means you'll need to make sure your Backup Exec 
2010 is running a 64bit OS. This one was a gotcha for us since our Backup Exec 
servers were all 32 bit still.

Just a heads up for those on the path to upgrade.

Outlook Authentication Prompt on reboot of server

2010-03-03 Thread Brad Metzler
I have noticed one difference between using Outlook 2007 on Exchange
2003 vs. Exchange 2010 is a prompt to users for credentials. On Exchange
2003, the user (particularly when using Cached Exchange mode) would
normally not even notice a reboot of the server. However, now on
Exchange 2010 if we reboot the server, users are immediately prompted
for credentials which continue until the server is back up or until they
restart Outlook when the server is back up. This seem significantly more
invasive than before where Outlook would simply go into offline mode
temporarily until the server was available again. Anyone happen to know
why this change in behavior, or is this not normal?

invasive than before where Outlook would simply go into offline mode
temporarily until the server was available again. Anyone happen to know
why this change in behavior, or is this not normal?

Outlook Anywhere Authentication Behavior Domain Member vs. Non-Domain member

2010-02-15 Thread Brad Metzler
I have observed in our implementation for Exchange 2010 that non-Domain
Members can use Outlook Anywhere, but Domain Member systems are unable.

 

When a non-Domain Member creates a profile and auto-configures from a
remote location, it appears Autodiscover works properly and they are
prompted to authenticate to the server. The authentication box that is
presented to them is asking them to authenticate to the external FQDN of
the CAS server which works properly.

 

When a Domain Member creates a profile and auto-configures from a remote
location, while the Autodiscover appears to work, they are then prompted
to authenticate to the internal name of the CAS server, an operation
which they cannot complete remotely or without VPN. 

 

It appears that this may not even be a DNS related issue. As an
experiment, I put the internal name of the server into the hosts file of
the Domain Member system and tested it could ping the CAS server using
the Internal name from the remote location. However when prompted to
authenticate to the internal name server, the authentication still
fails. We also tried configuring a Domain Member for Outlook Anywhere
while on site, then taking the system off-site and the authentication
issue persists, so it is not an issue that is only present during
configuration.

 

It seems that Domain Member systems are treated differently in how
Outlook Anywhere handles their configuration.  Again, non-Domain Members
work as expected, it is only the Domain Members that cannot use Outlook
Anywhere. 

 

Does anyone else out there successfully use Outlook Anywhere with Domain
Member clients off-site?

RE: Outlook Anywhere Authentication Behavior Domain Member vs. Non-Domain member

2010-02-15 Thread Brad Metzler
Thanks Michael. The connectivity test was unhappy that the SSL name had
a mismatch between the External FQDN and the cert (we use a wildcard
cert). So I used Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName to set the
wildcard cert name and now it passes the test.

 

It has now worked on 4 out of 5 tries. The failed try, I rebooted and
tried again and it worked (when it failed it was just re-prompting for
credentials over and over). 

 

Interestingly, the prompt for domain members is still the internal name,
but it does accept the credentials.

Sure, all the time. It's a key use case for OA.

 

Almost certainly you have the ClientAuth or RpcAuth for one of the
vdir's set wrong or an external URL set wrong.

 

I'd start with testexchangeconnectivity.com and see what it says.

 

Note that the detailed content of the response from autodiscover will
tell you almost everything about your configuration. Using
testexchangeconnectivity, you should be able to find the parameter which
is set incorrectly and map it back to the parameter you need to change
('cuz the names just don't match).

Ahh So Snap Manager forces the file into Z:\? 

 

I presume you can't move the edb file yourself after Snap Manager puts

If that's the case, then I suppose you'll just tell NetApp to suck less

Rules Delegates in Exchange 2003 to Exchange Migration 2010

2010-02-12 Thread Brad Metzler
We have observed that as we migrate users from our Exchange 2003 server
to our Exchange 2010 server that for some mailboxes, some rules are
ineffective after the move until they are recreated. We have observed
the same behavior with delegate permissions. Some delegates need to be
removed and re-added before the permissions will become effective again.

 

Has anyone else observed anything like this? Is there any way to force
the Exchange 2010 server to re-evaluate the rules and delegates and
'reapply' them so they become effective without the user doing it?

 

This is confusing for users because the rules and delegates still exist,
but they do not know if they are ineffective until the rule fails to
function or the delegated party calls to advise them they no longer have
access.

RE: Evil OAB message 0x8004010F

2010-02-08 Thread Brad Metzler
FYI,

The original issue of not being able to DL the address book was related to the 
Internal/External URL configurations. In one case, one was not set. In two 
other cases I fat-fingered the period in the file name. If you CTRL-Right-Click 
on the Outlook icon in the system tray and do Test E-mail Autoconfiguration, 
put in an address on your target server, no credentials, and uncheck the second 
two checkboxes, you will see all the URLs being returned by the server. If any 
of them are wrong, Google and you'll find the MS article to fix them.

After those were resolved, we found that the Exchange 2007 users couldn't see 
Exchange 2003 user Free/Busy information despite all the replica partners being 
set. After 6 more hours on the phone with PSS, they finally got someone on the 
phone who knew what they were doing. In 5 minutes he found that SSL was enabled 
on the 'public' IIS folder and Integrated Authentication was not enabled on 
Exchange 2003 which prevents the Exch2k7 server from authenticating and 
accessing the FB info from the 2k3 server. 

So there you go!

We were able to correct the PF replication issue and get the OAB to generate

Administrative group there is a connector from the 2003 bridgehead server to 
the new 2007 server in both places. Where else would I add this?

I was referring specifically to adding the exchange 2010 server to the 
replication list of the public folders, using esm on 2003 instead of powershell 
or emc on 2010.

Michael,

What specifically do you mean by add the server? If I open the ESM on the 
Exchange 2003 server, I do in-fact see the new administrative group and the new 
2007 server under that group.

I don't have a solution for you. I just stopped by to commiserate. I am going 
through the exact same thing with a 20032010 migration. Error messages are 
just about identical along with the attempted steps to resolve. It's as much 
fun as sticking pencils in my eye. PSS is in my very near future.

I’m back in the office and still faced with this same issue, however another 
symptom has revealed itself. Users on the new Exchange 2007 server cannot see 
Free/Busy information. I am guessing these problems are one in the same because 
I believe both the OAB and Free/Busy are probably relying on this replication 
that is not happening and which I cannot access. Any more advice or do I have 
to schedule a weekend to sit on the phone with PSS for this one? Thanks!

Is this not accomplished with the Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard?  
(In 2003’s System Manager, right click the Org and choose “Delegate Control…”)  
The option there is listed as “Exchange Full Administrator” instead of 
“Exchange Organization Administrator” so I may be wrong about this being the

This appears that you are signed in as a “Exchange View-Only Administrator” and

2010-01-14 Thread Brad Metzler
We have a 2 server Exchange 2003 environment where we have added an
Exchange 2007 server which we are now attempting to migrate users to.
However, all the users migrated to Exchange 2007 get an error when
attempting to download the address book under Send/Receive:

 

Task 'Microsoft Exchange' report error (0x8004010F) : 'The operation
failed. An object cannot be found.'

 

After going through many articles via Google, I'm not seeing a clear
answer to this one. We moved our OAB generation from the 2003 server to
the 2007 server and added publishing it to the web OAB directory as well
(it was already set to publish to the public folders). 


The clients on the 2003 server can still download the OAB just fine, but
even after 24 hours the error persists on the people who have been moved
to the 2007 server.

 

Anyone have a magic bullet or some good suggestions on things to check
on this one? Thanks

attempting to download the address book under Send/Receive:

 

Task 'Microsoft Exchange' report error (0x8004010F) : 'The operation
failed. An object cannot be found.'

 

After going through many articles via Google, I'm not seeing a clear
answer to this one. We moved our OAB generation from the 2003 server to
the 2007 server and added publishing it to the web OAB directory as well
(it was already set to publish to the public folders). 


The clients on the 2003 server can still download the OAB just fine, but
even after 24 hours the error persists on the people who have been moved
to the 2007 server.

 

Anyone have a magic bullet or some good suggestions on things to check
on this one? Thanks

 

Brad

Michael,

 

Thanks. The install was done logged into the server as the domain
administrator. I confirmed the domain administrator account is a member
of the Exchange Organization Administrators groups. How might one go
about gaining proper access rights for this action?

This appears that you are signed in as a Exchange View-Only

Exchange Server.

I'm guessing permissions issue? I've tried this as a user with domain

Exchange 2007 New Mailbox Appearance in GAL

2009-12-15 Thread Brad Metzler
Today we added an Exchange 2007 server (on Win2k8) to our existing
Exchange 2003 organization.

The installation appears to have worked properly, all services are
running, etc... 

 

I created a new user in ADUC and made a mailbox on the new E2k7 Server.
I also create a user through the Exchange Management Console. Neither of
these users appear in the GAL. Neither user can connect to their E2k7
mailbox. Both get the The name cannot be resolved. The name cannot be
matched to a name in the address list. Message.

 

I created a new user in ADUC and made a new mailbox on an E2k3 server
and moved it to the E2k7 server*. This new user can send and receive
mail both internally and externally and can log on to the mailbox
successfully.

 

 

Any ideas why the new mailboxes on the E2k7 server don't show up in the
GAL and thusly can't log on?

 

 

A few notes:

 

On suggestion, I tried changing the OAB polling from 480min to 15min and
restarted the Exchange DFS service , no luck.

 

Also on suggestion, I open the Exchange System Manager and tried Update
Now under the Recipient Update Service for both the Enterprise and the
Domain. Still no luck.

 

Incidentally, I can send SMTP E-mail from inside and outside to the two
E2k7 mailboxes without a bounce, so I assume they are being delivered to
the mailboxes, but of course I can't open them to check.

 

 

So again, any ideas on why new users with mailboxes created on E2k7
server can't log on but a migrated mailbox seems to work just fine?  Did
I miss some kind of GAL/GC config step to get this new E2k7 server to
play nice in the existing E2k3 org?

 

Thanks

 

Brad

 

 

*I noticed that I can't move mailboxes from E2k3 to E2k7 using ADUC even
with the E2k7 32bit management tools installed, it throws this error:

The requesting program is an incompatible version. Contact your system
administrator about upgrading your Microsoft Exchange client. This
version of the client application is incompatible with the version of
Microsoft Exchange Server running on the server computer. Microsoft
Exchange Server Information Store ID no: 80040110-0510-80040110

Moving them through the Exchange Management Console works just fine
though. I presume that's normal, no moving mailboxes to E2k7 in ADUC?

The magic of Address Lists in E2k

2002-07-25 Thread Brad Metzler

Can anyone explain to me how to manage address lists in E2k?

The default global address list had read permissions for everyone, yet everyone saw a 
blank address book when looking at the global address list.

Question #1) How come with an everyone read permission set on the default global 
address list, the global address list is empty on the clients?


So, under All Global Address Lists in the system manager, I created a list which 
queries for all users and groups on server 1, and I gave it an everyone permission of 
read. After doing that, all users on Server 1 and Server 2 saw only the addresses for 
people on Server 1 under the global address list. 

This seemed logical, until...

I went back and created another list under global address lists which queries for all 
users and groups on server 2 and again gave it an everyone permission of read. After 
doing that, everyone on Server 1 still saw only recipients on server 1 and everyone on 
server 2 only saw recipient on server 2. 

Question #2) Why this behavior? Why does one list appear to preempt the other list? 
The permissions are the same on both lists, shouldn't users on both servers see the 
recipients of both lists?


Thanks for any insight on this.

RE: Permissions In E2k

2002-07-17 Thread Brad Metzler

William,
I have found there are quite a few inherited permissions, but I still can't 
figure out where they come from. Here is what is on the mailbox now:

Domain\administrator - read (inherited)
domain\domain admins - delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited)
domain\enterprise admins- delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited)
Everyone - read (inherited)
Exchange Domain Servers - delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited)
Exchange Service Account - delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited)
Exchange Services - delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited)
Self - Delete, full, Associated external account (not inherited)

The test user I am trying to give access to is not a member of any of the above groups 
except of course everyone, but he can get access if I add him to the list with full 
permissions.
When I put the test group in and give it full permissions (and of course he is a 
member of that test group) it doesn't work, even after waiting and forcing an AD 
replication to be sure his group membership is being evaluated.

1) Do you see anything in this ACL that would be affecting this?
2) Where the hell are all the inherited permissions coming from, I can't find a higher 
level in the hierarchy to modify them (in the AD or the server manager)?
3) That Everyone - read permission makes me nervous, but it was there by default on 
all mailboxes, and again I don't know where it is being inherited from to remove it. I 
have checked around on a few regular user accounts and noone can access each others 
mailbox so it would seem it doesn't work anyway, but it still makes me nervous.

Thanks for your help.

Brad

I'm still trying to figure out exactly how permissions work in E2k, but
one behavior I have discovered is a pain the ass and I'm hoping someone
can confirm this is what is supposed to be happening.

If I open a user in the Active Directory users and computer and in
mailbox permissions give access to a particular active directory user
(full mailbox access), then that user can open the mailbox. duh.

If however I create a group (I've tried domain local and global) and
give that group full mailbox access and add a user to that group, that
user is unable to open the mailbox. 

Am I to assume that you can only give mailbox rights to individual users
and not to groups? Am I'm setting the permissions in the wrong place?

SMTP configuration error?

2002-06-24 Thread Brad Metzler

E2K SP2
Just finished move from 5.5 to E2K. 
5.5 server is still in site, but SMTP has been redirected at the gateway
mail sweeper to the E2K server.

Scenario:

When a message is sent internally to the SMTP address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is returned with 'A configuration error in the
recipient's e-mail system prevented delivery of this message.  Two
recipients are configured with the same e-mail address.  Contact your
administrator.'

When a message is sent to the display name Postmaster, the message is
delivered to the postmaster mailbox correctly.

When a message is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from externally, it
arrives in the Administrator mailbox (which has only two SMTP addresses
configured for it, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (primary) and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]). 


Given the evidence, one would think the second instance of the postmaster@
address that the NDR is complaining about would be somewhere in the
configuration for the administrator mailbox perhaps. However, I have been
unable to locate anywhere in the administrator's configuration any instance
of the postmaster@ address. 

Any ideas or KB articles I missed? Thanks

Installtion issue was: ADC/Extending Schema Problem

2002-06-18 Thread Brad Metzler

Ryan Kiste of Pacific Info Systems in Portland, Oregon. I revealed the
answer to him on the phone while our account manager was also on the line. I
suspect he will be laughed at for quite some time by everyone in the office.
In the mean time, I have another problem. After continuing with the
installation, we installed E2k SP2 and a few of the hot fixes including the
information store hot fix and suddenly we were faced by any number of errors
when trying to mount the store. we tried rolling back to SP2 and still
couldn't mount the store. The answer from his 'guru' on the phone was to go
ahead and rebuild the e2k server and start over before moving mailboxes.
Problem is, after the rebuild it won't let me do a reinstall because the
server object is already there somewhere. Our consultant hasn't shown up yet
this morning (not really sure which one they will send today), but I suspect
he won't know the answer. The installation suggests running in disaster
recovery mode. Is this the best thing to do, or is there a place I can clean
out the old server name entry and do a clean install?

Thanks again guys

Brad

stand-alone server. He actually left about an hour ago planning on

He said even without any action regarding Exchange 2k, we should have
exchange tasks in the AD users and computers manager to manage the
exchange 5.5 mailboxes for our users.

 We are trying to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to 2k and were
 able to install
 the ADC and it replicated user information over to the AD, 
 but it appears to
 have not extended the schema. We tried re-installing and yet again, it
 didn't extend the schema. We tried running the ADC setup with the
 /schemaonly flag on two different DC's (one the schema 
 master, one not) and
 still it didn't extend the schema. In despiration, we tried running
 forestprep and domainprep on the new server that will be our 
 new exchange 2k

 joy. Anyone have
 any viagra for AD schema, cause ours just doesn't seem to 
 want to extend :)
 
 
 I am looking for any advice on what I might be missing here,
 and perhaps a
 tool for testing whether it is just exchange or whether the schema is
 screwed up somehow.  We tried all of this logged in as domain

No mail from E2k to 5.5 server

2002-06-18 Thread Brad Metzler

As the saga continues...

We now have our E2K server up and running and we are getting ready to move
mailboxes from the 5.5 server. Internet E-mail can get in and out fine from
the 2K server and messages from the 5.5 server to the 2K server (to
mailboxes we already moved as a test) work just fine. However, those who we
already moved to the 2K server can no longer send mail to users who are
still on the 5.5 server. The message bounces with an NDR The e-mail address
could not be found. Perhaps the recipient moved to a different E-mail
organization or there was a mistake in the address. Check the address and
try again. The MTS-ID of the original message... Blah Blah Blah... this NDR
is coming from the 2K server, not the 5.5 server. I get the impression the
MTA isn't aware of the 5.5 server still being there. We already tried the
legacyExchangeDN thing from the KB... Any ideas?

Inherited Mailbox Permission in E2K

2002-06-18 Thread Brad Metzler

After moving some mailboxes, we discovered that the permissions for every
mailbox has the domain admins group with a deny set on it, but this is being
inherited from somewhere. What is the parent object here? If you go up a
level or two in Active directory users and computers there is no place to
modify the permissions going down to that mailbox. So I looked in the system
manager and tried the delegate control option at the org and site levels,
but that isn't where it is coming from either. So where exactly is the
parent from which mailboxes are inheriting their permissions? Thanks

Dennis,
This is happening to clean system with no messaging agents or

an adware or spyware agent. The problem is that it is trying to install one
obviously, we are trying to find out where this chain is starting. Somehow
that first site is getting called that starts the redirect and the install
attempts, but where is the first call coming from? We are trying to
determine if it is embedded in a popular web site like msn or yahoo or

this problem then I'll know to start looking for the source internally, but
right now I have really no leads on the source.

John,
Thanks. I had the same experience on my workstation. I can go there,
get the page, get the install dialog and then still be fine. However, I
think that site is the second step in the 'infection'. Whatever it is that
our users are picking up is what is sending them to that site. What we can't
figure out is what program or Email or file or website is starting the
'infection' and causing clients to get redirected to that target. We are
getting reports now of people who have rebooted and been able to get to the
sites they were not able to before now getting it on other sites, so a
reboot is apparently just a temporary fix.

Go to www.lavasoftusa.com, and download the latest version of Ad-Aware. It
will scan your systems and kill the sh*t.

Is anyone else having this problem?

We are suddenly having dozens of reports from users who find that anywhere
they web-browse to is being redirected to a domain for sale page with
pop-ups and other windows for places like reunion.com and in some cases it
attempted to start an install of Gator.  Once you pick it up, it appears you
have to reboot to be able

Language Support - Japanese

2002-02-01 Thread Brad Metzler

We have several Japanese users now that are using OWA to access their
mailboxes. Some are complaining that when they receive messages in Japanese
they see only question marks for most if not all characters in the messages.
Japanese language support is loaded the workstation with the browser they
are using to access OWA but I am guessing there is something on the
OWA/IIS/Exchange side that has to be changed for them to be able to view
these messages. Any hints?

Hacking tool to .pst files

2001-12-12 Thread Brad Metzler

One of our ever wise staff members managed to lock herself out of her
personal folders by setting a password on it which she can not recall. This
file of course contains 'mission critical' information for her (blah blah
blah). Anyone have a name or URL for a good pst password hacking tool?
Thanks

RE: *** Warning *** New Virus - W32.goner.a@mm

2001-12-04 Thread Brad Metzler

Eric,
We use groupsuck here still, (primarily because we can't get rid of
it clean) but it has worked flawlessly (yeah I know, a miracle). I have had
a few other people try to sell me other on-board scanners for exchange, but
the two I had seen demo'd both broke SIS by opening and copying messages in
the MTA for the scanning process. This also triggers delivery notification.
Is there another on-board product out there that does suck, doesn't break
SIS and doesn't open messages and trigger delivery notification as part of
the scanning process?

Brad

I have nothing good to say about Groupsuck.  How they can sell that product
is beyond me.  I am also getting away from it ASAP.

Just to warn you, the uninstall is not clean.
