OT: Exchange Work From Home
All- Just a quick question to the community. Is there a market for Exchange Engineer jobs working from home? Everytime I do a job search I come up with nothing. I have situation in my life that requires me to be at home, just wondering if there is a market out there for this type of work.

RE: DAG Creation
Just one more thing to note here. This DAG group name, let's call it DAG01 has been used before and removed. The two AD objects that reference this name have been removed as well by searching it through AD. Is there another object(s) that I need to find to remove as well? Is this why it's saying it cannot find the server within AD? Thank you, John Bowles From: Michael B.

RE: E2K10 Sp1 Installation
Thanks for all the links guys... Michael- Your blog was very insightful. The question I have is before I install SP1 do I have to run a /foresprep ? Or is this a typical just click the .exe and answer the prompts? I'm trying to update my DR site with SP1 first and I'm getting the server needs to be in the site with the schema master.. so as I was told by a stout Exchange person, he said that I need to move the schema master to the DC in the DR site run the SP1 install and then move the schema master back.

RE: Compliance
Doug- As Michael pointed out this is something your legal team (if you have one) or your upper management need to determine. If you determine the the retention periods and something comes down the road, you're going to be on the hook. So it's in your best interest to have someone from above you to determine the policy.

Nope, still sitting in the same situation. I've found an event log error I'm getting when accessing OWA. It looks like this server is trying to proxy the request for some reason.

Windows 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010
I was running over the pre-reqs for E2K10 on this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354.aspx#WS08R2 and I came across this: If you're installing the Mailbox server role and you intend the server to be a member of a database availability group (DAG), you must be running the Enterprise Edition of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. The Standard Edition doesn't support the features needed for DAGs. You can't upgrade Windows when Exchange is installed on the server. What i'm unsure of is, Is it saying you can run any flavor of Windows 2008 R2? Or do you need Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise? My customer has Windows 2008 R2 Standard, just wondering if I can setup DAG's on that platform. Thank you, John Bowles

Configureing OWA 2K10 in Coexistence

Unistalling E2K7 w/Windows Firewall Service Down
All- I have a Windows 2K7 server installed into an E2K3 Org. The client has decided that they want to go to E2K10 since nothing has been done with E2K7 outside of the initial install. The issue I'm facing is that we cannot uninstall E2K7 because the Windows Firewall service won't start. Prior, we had an issue with Group Policies and an exiting Administrator decided to edit the Domain Controller Default Policy and Default Domain Policy and changed all registry permissions as well as Files System files. So anything added to the domain was hosed. Windows Firewall wouldn't start, couldn't RPC, couldn't connect to the server at all outside local terminal. Anyway, so the plan was since you can't upgrade in place the E2K7 server with E2K10, we needed to uninstall E2K7 first then wipe the server off, reinistall and then add E2K10. The problem is it won't allow us to uninstall E2K7 because of the Windows Firewall. Has anyone faced this issue when trying to remove an Exchange server? How did you work around it to get the box uninstalled? John Bowles | 301.473.2260

All- I'm looking to deploy an Exchange 2010 HA scenario for a customer with 2 sites. Site A and Site B. My question is this, if Site A's Exchange server goes down completely, how do I redirect all the users to Site B? My DAG's will be located on the Site B's server...but how am I going to redirect everyone to the site b servers? I'm assuming MOMT would do the redirect.. but if the CAS servers go down as well how will they no where to direct the clients to the appropriate mailbox server? Thank you, John Bowles

Exchange 2003 Migration to Exchange 2010
All- I have a client who is currently running Exchange 2003 single server and already has an Exchange 2K7 server installed into the Exchange Organization.

Furthermore, the fact that Exchange is bundled with Essential Business Server, which (AFAIK) Microsoft targets towards small-medium sized businesses (300 users) suggests to me that they intend for Exchange to be used in those kinds of environments.

The argument is that when you add more complexity to an application you're going to have more complexity in the configuration. Honestly, they could of kept majority of that functionality in the GUI. I think it was a vast attempt to appease the CL weenies of the world. And it back fired IMO. I like E2K7, but I think they alienated majority of the population that buys their product.

In E2K3 we used an OWA redirect so users would type in webmail.company.com and it would direct them to the OWA server. Now when we are moving to E2K7 and utilizing the CAS server role to handle our OWA access between E2K3 and E2K7. I'm curious as to how is everyone redirecting their users so they can use the same URL to access the CAS server when there are mailboxes on E2K3 and E2K7? I'm trying ot make the OWA access seamless as possible. Thank you, _ John Bowles
RE: SP1 RU9
I haven't installed RU9, but from my last experience installing RU8 it was a nightmare cause it gave me the old OWA white screen and the only way to fix it was to uninstall the CAS role and unistall IIS and then reinstall IIS again with the CAS role installed finally. _ John Bowles From: Barsodi.John [john.bars...@igt.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 12:03 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: SP1 RU9 Anyone deploy SP1 RU9 over the weekend?
