RE: Activesync issue
So, after enjoying my weekend, I came into work this morning and contacted Verisign support. Apparently, Microsoft has confirmed that they forgot to include a Trusted Root cert with their Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 OSes. Due to this, Verisign is giving me a free upgrade to their SSL Pro cert, which still uses the old root cert.

RE: Activesync issue
Ahh, I got ya. So the cert won't stay on the mobile device after a wipe? That's interesting. The whole reason I was looking at doing that, was for next year when we renew.

Activesync issue
I just renewed my SSL cert today for my Exchange box. OWA is working fine, but Activesync on my WM device is erroring out, saying the cert is not valid. I double checked the config in the phone, and I've looked in IIS at the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync settings, and the cert there shows the correct dates. I've restarted all IIS and SMTP services, and I've rebooted the server. Any other ideas? Exchange 2k3, WM6. Thanks, Joe Heaton
OWA / SSL question
Guys, Due to the budget issues here in California, my agency is down to the wire with renewing our SSL cert for Exchange. I've already told my manager that we can easily go with one of the cheaper alternatives, and have the same security, but she's really wanting to stick with Verisign. Due to this, our SSL cert may end up expiring. I've told her that the impact would be that I would have to turn off OWA. In addition, wouldn't our phones be affected? We're using Activesync on our Windows Mobile devices, and requiring the SSL connection. Would we be able to make a secure SSL connection without the cert? I'm thinking this is possibly a stupid question, but my brain is really fuzzy this morning.

I have also looked at generating our own cert, which really makes sense for this purpose, as it's only internal users that will be accessing OWA.

The cert's themselves are standards. Verisign is just a high-profile name. Think of them as the Cadillac of certificate providers if you will. Are they high performance? Not really. Full of bloat and over-priced? Yep. But when the cert is only meant for you to get from A to B, does it matter about the appearance or prestige of the name/appearance? Nope. Unless you have a high-visibility web site, there is absolutely no reason to use certs from Verisign. There is no added prestige factor to using Verisign certs with OWA. None of your users care. And you and your manager shouldn't either. A cert is a cert. Its ease of use only depends on if its publicly known and trusted: Issues/published by a well-known certificate authority. Some user education is in order for your manager.

We have a 1 meg pipe between us and our ISP, then it hits the internet to our backup provider. My .edb files total a little over 12GB, and my .stm files total just over 6GB, so our nightly backup is around 18GB plus log files. Right now, we keep 5 dailies, 4 weeklies, and 3 monthlies in the vault. I'm trying to reduce our online footprint, though, as we're over our quota and can't renegotiate the contract. So, I happen to have an external USB drive sitting around doing nothing at the moment, and am trying to do local backups for Exchange, instead of sending all of them over the wire.

Thanks Don.

RE: mail store size question
My personal opinion may be old fashioned, but I believe that e-mail is meant for communication, not file transfer. If I have a document I need to send to someone, fine, e-mail it. But if it's a video, or something of that nature, there are better ways to share that information. We're not factory workers here, we're office workers. Some of which have a rather high daily e-mail usage, with e-mailing contract changes back and forth all day, and having to keep all versions until a point is agreed on.

An archiving solution may be beneficial in that case, but as for size consideration, 6GB is not that much anymore for long term positions of high email use. 150MB is fine for the factory worker, but less so for the sales manager or accounting executive.

Strange e-mail issue with one user
Exchange 2k3 Outlook 2k3 I have one user who is experiencing this problem. I have tested from her machine and verified that it is happening. We have had PC changeouts recently, so it's not a problem with her specific machine. Each month, she fills out her timesheet, and e-mails it as an attachment to the time clerk. Or her boss, or someone else in her unit. She opens a new e-mail, fills in the To: and CC: boxes, fills in the Subject line, attaches the timesheet, and hits Send. The message then shows up in her Sent Items, for about 10-15 seconds, then disappears. The recipients never receive the message. It happens only with the timesheets, whether she has one, or her whole unit's timesheets in the message. It's not a size issue, as one timesheet is only a couple hundred KB in size. It is also an intermittent issue, as I have also stood behind her, watching, and sometimes it will work. The strangest part, is that it only happens with timesheets, which are .xls documents. Any other time, attaching any other file, is no problem. Any ideas where I can start to troubleshoot this?

RE: mailbox size recommendations for 2k7?
I'm sorry, it was simply a very generic, simple question. Meaning, is 10MB recommended as best practice, or maybe 500MB, or maybe 10GB. Is there a size where it becomes difficult to do a recovery? Not really worried about the infrastructure, the question is simply an attempt to get to best practices...

Editing distribution lists within Outlook
Server 2K3 Exchange 2K3 Outlook 2K3 I have a director, who would like to manage their unit's distribution list. By default, users don't have access to adding/removing members of the list, through the GAL. I also know there is a way of setting this up so that you can give someone rights to do this, but I can't seem to think straight enough to remember where I saw it. Is it through Outlook, as an admin, or is it on the backend somewhere? Also, the director that I'm speaking of is not a technical person. Is it wise to allow users this type of access?

Internal group e-mail question
Exchange 2K3 Outlook 2K3 I have several internal e-mail enabled groups, so that if I want to send a message to all those people, I send it to their unit address. These groups are intended for internal usage only. In the last couple of days, I've seen an increase in phishing mails, some of which are addressed to these internal groups. Now, assuming that these messages are coming from outside, I've been looking for ways to stop it. I've poked around in the properties of one of the groups within ADUC. I see on the Exchange General Tab, under message restrictions, a check box to accept mail from Authenticated users only. If I have this selected, along with the From Everyone radio button, would this eliminate the outside e-mails? If not, then what is the suggested way of protecting these internal groups from spam?

RE: Helpdesk mailbox
Sorry about the delay on this, it was kind of a weird day yesterday. This mailbox is named Help, but it's not really a helpdesk type of situation. Our agency works with businesses around California, helping to fund the training/retraining of employees in order to make them a better workforce for California. This mailbox is going to be used by our Fiscal department to provide assistance to these customers. There are two people at the start that will have access to it, with a possibility of increasing that in the future. Since the security group idea was shot down, my only other idea is to create the user/mailbox and give the users rights to it. We have a helpdesk app, Track-It!, but I can't see using that for this, as I don't want to add these Fiscal Unit employees to the tech list. They're bean counters, not IT.

Public folders questions
1) Is Microsoft still trying to get rid of public folders? 2) What do they want us to use instead? 3) We're creating a task list within a public folder and need to know: a. Is it possible to add to the Master Category list, and have it show up for all users of the public folder? b. Is it possible to make a default view of the public folder showing specific columns and information? I understand that Outlook is a client-side application, therefore making it difficult to make the above changes, but I need to know for sure, so I can inform my manager. What she's trying to accomplish is creating an IT project list, to keep track of the big stuff that's on the horizon. I don't think she wants to go the Microsoft Project route.

The backup job had hung waiting for a tape the local person had not loaded, and there were an extra gig or so of log files. I just checked it again, and now it's back to normal level of free space and only a few log files. I didn't see any events in the applog other than an ESE 215 error that showed when I canceled the backup job, and the usual ESE 7xx events re. online defrags. Maybe I could turn up some logging to get more insight into tran log commitments? Thanks for this excellent explanation - I'm saving it. Have a nice weekend. - Bob From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 5:18 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Committing transaction logs A concise explanation? Hrmmm. Well, first, doing a backup does NOT force logs to be committed. It means that the backup process waits until a checkpoint occurs, flushes the current transaction log, and during the backup additional checkpoints are not allowed to occur (that is, nothing is allowed to be flushed to the ESE database until after the backup is complete - leading to an increasing checkpoint depth, and in extreme situations, checkpoint exhaustion - but that is another discussion altogether). The ESE buffers are not flushed. So...data is written, in a serialized fashion, to the in-memory ESE cache and to the log buffers, as updates occur in an Exchange database. Logs are written to disk as logs fill up, or as checkpoints occur. (This may mean that a log can have nothing but a checkpoint record in it - but that is not the normal case.) In the ESE buffers, I/O is accumulated and prioritized by a process known as the lazy writer. The lazy writer scans the ESE buffers for dirty (modified) pages and builds an optimized list to flush those to disk. As that list is flushed to disk, the pages are marked as clean, and the checkpoint is marked as having advanced (on a transaction by transaction basis, not a log by log basis). Whenever the transaction in a log are fully advanced, then the checkpoint file and the database header are updated. During a backup, the lazy writer is paused. The ONLY time you are assured that logs are fully committed is during clean shutdown, or after running soft recovery. So...what is the problem you are trying to address or question you are trying to answer? I might be of more help if I know that. Regards, Michael B.

Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 6:20 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange Project Book I've been discussing with a technical publisher about doing an Exchange book that is project oriented. That is, the book has a specific goal in mind, from beginning to end. I have suggested a soup-to-nuts guide to installing and configuring Exchange Server 2007 in small and medium organizations. I would love to hear, either in this newsgroup or directly, what y'all think about that concept. Good or bad. Also, if you have other ideas about a project oriented Exchange book, I'd like to hear that too. Thanks! Regards, Michael B.
