Re: Super fun question
Two words: Constant Contact. They do exactly this - legitimate mass emails - and that's all they do, and they are very good at it. Strongly recommend you look in to outsourcing the email.

Re: Syncing IPhone to a Shared Contacts Folder
The product is called FolderMirror, and it looks like it may be similar in concept to the Blackberry Desktop Redirector in that it seems to be a desktop product that monitors Outlook, and not a server-side product: http://www.chapura.com/foldermirror_works.php So that's a shortcoming, but for the people who really need it might not be too serious. -- Durf On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 2:40 PM, Tim Vander Kooi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Add2Exchange scares the Dejesus out of me.

Re: Dump Exchange Address Book from hosted server
De - one of my field engineers just suggested something much simpler: Create a new Contacts folder for the user. Then go to the address book. Tell Outlook to keep personal contacts in the new folder. Select one and then holding shift select them all. Right click and add to contacts. It will populate them and then you can go in there and select all and do a drag and drop to a public folder. I just tested it. It's a bit ghetto but I think it will do. Thanks all for the input. -- Durf On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 11:21 AM, Michael B.

Move Mailboxes vs. Move Store
Hi all; I have a client with a large Exchange 2003 message store, and we want to both move the location of the store and defragment, as many mailboxes have already been moved out of it and there's substantial whitespace to be reclaimed. In terms of time and effectiveness, which strategy is preferable: 1. Move the store via ESM, then defrag. - or - 2. Create new store, then Move Mailboxes into the new store, remove old store. The option that minimizes downtime would be preferable. We're migrating from local SCSI to iSCSI if it matters in the equation. Thanks, Durf -- -- Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.

Re: Mass emailing?
Unless you have a *very* sanitized mailing list and more than a T1 worth of bandwidth, I would expect sending out a mass mailing like that to have a good change of bringing down your Internet line and/or your SMTP virtual server, depending on your bandwidth and how 'clean' your mailing list is. Look up Constant Contact, and mention to Nancy Freitag that Connor referred you. They do an amazing job. All they do are (verified, non-spam) mass mailing, and are extremely professional. -- Durf On Feb 7, 2008 1:29 PM, Steve Hart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > We're a printing company and we're facing a large increase in the price of > paper, which is huge compenent of our costing.

Re: Mass emailing?
Yes, when the following conditions are true:(which they usually are for our average small business client who doesn't alert us first that they want to do this) * Untuned smtp server * T1 or less bandwidth * Unsanitized contact list * 1000+ contacts ...then yes, you can very easily swamp the SMTP server and the oubound bandwidth. Exchange itself is usually find for internal-internal emails, but the queues, firewall and outbound traffic are often swamped. I've seen this about five or six times in the last 5+ years; it's usually the first (and only) time a client tries to send a mass email out to their entire contact list they've painstakingly build up in an Exchange public folder (or multiple, given the limits on Exchange address lists...) -- Durf On Feb 7, 2008 4:21 PM, Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Feb 7, 2008 2:49 PM, Durf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Unless you have a *very* sanitized mailing list and more than a T1 > worth of > > bandwidth, I would expect sending out a mass mailing like that to have a > > good change of bringing down your Internet line and/or your SMTP virtual > > server, depending on your bandwidth and how 'clean' your mailing list > is. > > I've had occasion twice over the past six months to send out a mass > mailing to about 360 addresses.

Re: Conference room calendar auto accept agent?
What Rob said - When you create a Resource Account, it's a standard User on your domain. So, unless you've set default permissions such that all users have permissions to each other's calendar, just stop there and you're all set. You don't have to do anything to prevent it, just don't explicitly share and/or grant permissions to the calendar. -- Durf On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 1:02 PM, David Mazzaccaro < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You don't' "need" to grant permissions… So CAN you prevent users from > opening the resource calendar and directly entering meetings? > > Thanks, > > Dave > > > -- > > *From:* Durf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > *Sent:* Friday, February 22, 2008 12:56 PM > *To:* MS-Exchange Admin Issues > *Subject:* Re: Conference room calendar auto accept agent? > > > > You don't need to grant Calendar permissions to use the AutoAccept agent, > that's the whole point - it's accepting the meeting, not directly writing > requests to the calendar as with Resource Booking. > > -- Durf > > > -- -- Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.

Re: Exchange 2007 and Virtual Server
Can you clarify where you were mounting the volumes? Host or guest? I'm very curious as to which works better, and if you can effectively mount iscsi volumes in the vm. --Durf On 3/12/08, Joseph L.

Re: Exchange 2007 and Virtual Server
Thanks, that's indeed what I was wondering - whether the proper thing would to have the data volume mounted by ESX, and then mounted by the VM as a 'raw disk' (if that's still the correct term), or whether it's just as effective to have the VM do the mount via iSCSI in virtualization. -- Durf On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 9:52 AM, Joseph L.

Re: OT: Thursday Funny: Computer gender
You know, a little while in Walter Reed might help fix that problem.
Oh, wait - VA care was gutted by your beloved president, and Walter Reed is
a horrorshow.
Well, Semper Fi, dude. Good luck with the puppy-throwing skillz instead,
hope it helps you cope.
