Re: Email performance tool?
@ Rob - The server I need to monitor is SBS / Exchange 2003. I don't know enough about Power Shell to know if your script would work with Exchange 2003. It sounds very cool though. @ Michael - Thanks for the links. They appear to do what I need and I will testing them out this week. Thanks Matt On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 9:53 AM, Michael B.

Then it would wait 5 minutes, and check the message tracking log to see if that message had been received, and could calculate how long the round trip time was just from the Subject line. All the information I needed was in the message tracking log, so I didn’t have to mess with opening a mailbox and looking for the email there, and I set a transport rule to discard the messages so I didn’t have to worry about them accumulating in a mailbox somewhere.

BES - Report on all outgoing email
BES Express 5.0.1 / SBS 2003 I have been searching for a way to generate a report on all out going email from our BB devices. I am getting a bunch of random reports that when people sendemail http://www.blackberryforums.com/# either to an internal contact or an external contact that they sometimes don't make it. I know that a lot can happen to an email during the send process from getting ate by spam filters or users deleting emails by accident but I need to have a solid report from my BES / Express that shows me each message that was sent from a device through the BES. I've done a bunch of googling but my googlehttp://www.blackberryforums.com/#-fu must be week today. Does anyone know it it's possible to generate reports on this?

Sending from multiple domains
I've spent some time searching for a good way to do this using exchange and have not found a solution yet. I have client with a SBS 2003 server and Outlook 2003-07 and needs the ability to have employees send from multiple email address/domains. The only solution that I have been able to think of is setup an SMTP/POP3 server in front of exchange and have all emails forward to exchange. From Outlook setup POP3 accounts for each email address to pull from the POP3 server (nothing would ever be stored on the POP3 server just forwarded on) but send from exchange. This type of setup seems way to overly complicated. Is there a better way to handle sending from multiple domains from exchange?

Re: Sending from multiple domains
Option number 1 is new to me. Does the from field allow you send email to any of the aliases on a users account? Or does it only allow you to send email from other accounts like send-as other users email address? I'll have to do some testing. Thanks On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 9:33 AM, Peter Johnson peter.john...@peterstow.comwrote: There are several ways: 1.)Add the addresses from the different domains to each mailbox and make sure the from field is visible an new e-mail message in outlook. 2.)Create multiple mailboxes in Exchange and give the user access to these multiple mailboxes also ensuring the from field is visible and they have send as rights or full mailbox access. The concern here would be possibly running into the account limit on SBS as each mailbox needs a separate user account.

Exchange 2007 CSR 1024 vs 2048
Just getting ready to install a new certificate on a Exchange 2007 server. Generated the request with a 1024bit cert, however on godaddy's website they will only accept 2048bit or higher. I have always only used 1024bit. Have you guys run across any compatibility problems with browsers or mobile devices using the longer key length? My googlefu must be week today because I'm really not seeing a lot of information about 1024 vs 2048. Thanks Matt
Re: Exchange 2007 CSR 1024 vs 2048
Cool. My only concern was if upping the key size would cause capability problems with say weak minded mobile devices. I went a head and purchased the 2048 cert and am going to do some testing. Matt On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 5:16 PM, Michael B. Smith mich...@smithcons.comwrote: Just set it to 2048. Or even 4096. It’s not a big deal. The issue with this is that 256 bit keys have been cracked, and it’s expected that 512/1024 bit keys will be cracked very soon.

Exchange 2003 Public Folder problems
Exchange 2003. AD 2003 I recently took on a new client that is having some weird Public Folder problems after the drive that holds the exchange DB ran out of space. I was able to bring exchange back fine after I cleared out some old backups they were storing on that drive. The problem I'm getting now is that when users try to add appointments to a Calender on any of the public folders it does one of two things. 1. lets them make the change but does not keep the change. or 2. gives them an access is denyed message. If I look at the logs I don't see any related errors. I have double checked the permissions and everything looks good. To do some further trouble shooting on the permissions, I downloaded a copy of ScriptLogic Security Explorer. After installing when I try to run I gives me an error pointing to and old DC and will not connect. This go me wondering If exchange somewhere was still pointing to on old DC . I checked the DNS on the NIC and In Exchange System Manager -- Servers -- Server name -- Properties, Directory Access Tab. Those look right. I seem to remember that there is one other place that exchange stores info on DC's but can't find it. Does anyone know if there are other places to check? Thanks Matt

MS licensing???
I have called Microsoft twice and both people I have talked to were clueless about the licensing scenario I'm going to ask you guys. One of the licensing guys I talked to said that he could not answer my question and that I should talk to *my lawyer* to get clarification on how to interpret *Their license*.. Redoing my company's network. Moving from sbs 2003 to Server 2008 with exchange 2007. I have about 75 internal users that need the typical access to 2008 AD and Exchange 2007. I have about 50 users that are field users that have laptops. Each laptop user ONLY needs email access and is currently not on the domain. They all belong to a workgroup. These laptops will stay in workgroups. I would like each of these 50 Users to pull POP3 from my exchange server. So what kind of license do i need to buy? CORE CAL and Exchange CAL or can I get away with just an Exchange CAL since their computers will not belong to the domain? My guess is that we will have to buy both but was hopeing that we could only purchase the exchange CAL. Anyone have an awnwer? Is there an easier way to licnese this?

AV on Exchange?
Do you put AV on your Exchange server or let your gateway scanners do all the work? I'm not talking about file based AV b/c everyone knows it would be just silly not to put that on your server. If you would have ask me a year ago whether or not I would recommend putting AV on exchange I would have said with out a question YES. Over the last year I have seen a ton of places only relying on their SMTP gateway scanner and the desktop scanners.

HostMonitor can do this. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/index.htm HostMonitor is like Server Alive or Nagios. One of its test is call Server Relay.

Thanks Ben I missed that. I did a test and it worked great. It's crazy ugly but I'm thinking about doing an ExMerge copy from store but not delete.

Outlook 2007 Expand folders
We recently changed from POP'ing email from an ISP to an internal Exchange 2003 server. I have received some complaints that Outlook is working a bit different on exchange than it did when it was POP'ing email. User has setup folders in outlook that goes as many as 4 levels deep with rules to move email to various folders. When outlook was POP'ing the email, if an email was sent to one of the sub folders it would open the folder tree so you could tell that there was a new email in the folder. In Exchange it does not open the folder tree. The user has to click on the tree to search for new email. Does anyone know if there is a check box somewhere to change this behavior. I cannot find how to change this for the life of me. Thanks for any input. Matt ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~
Office online, offline, broken?
We just rolled out Exchange 2003 company wide. I have all our Outlook clients setup to use cached mode. I am getting a bunch of reports from our helpdesk about outlook switching from Online to Offline and not switching back until you manual tell it to switch. I have never used Outlook in cached mode before. Is this a common thing? My understanding is that Outlook should switch right back to online mode once the connection has been restored. Is there a setting for how often Outlook tries to re-establish connection to get back online once it switches to offline mode?

We have a lot of remote sites with maxed bandwidth.I have had this reported a few times on my LAN which *shouldn't have bandwidth issues (unless someone decided to start playing with p2p stuff.) Thanks for the input i'll started digging deeper. Matt On Jan 16, 2008 3:41 PM, Exchange (Sunbelt) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would try to find out why it's going offline in the first place.

We just rolled out Exchange 2003 company wide. I have all our Outlook clients setup to use cached mode. I am getting a bunch of reports from our helpdesk about outlook switching from Online to Offline and not switching back until you manual tell it to switch. I have never used Outlook in cached mode before. Is this a common thing? My understanding is that Outlook should switch right back to online mode once the connection has been restored. Is there a setting for how often Outlook tries to re-establish connection to get back online once it switches to offline mode?

Re: Blackberry question
I saw this asked but didn't see anyone answer. Yes you can remote wipe wm5 and 6 devices.

They include their own free BB service in their unlimited data plan, so you don't need BES in-house. You have 30 days for the user to descide if it's a good solution. You can send it back anytime in the first 30 days. We did this as a test when the Treo 650s started dying and we were looking for a replacement candidate. Since then we have purchased BES and are moving Goodlink users to BB as the Treos die off.

Re: Outlook over HTTP Problem
Are you running split DNS? Is the OWA server named something different on the inside vs. the outside? OWA.domain.local vs. OWA.domain.com? Did you Purchase the Certificate or did you make your own? Matt On Dec 24, 2007 9:29 AM, Rick Corgiat [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gurus, I have an Exchange 2003 (sp2) server that I am trying to configure to do Outlook over HTTP. I must be missing something because I can't get it working. I followed the instructions from the MS website. I've followed the troubleshooting steps as well checking the SSL installation and browsing to https//mail.company.com/rcp, and both seem to be fine. The part that is not working is that when I log into OWA from a workstation, I get the Security Alert about the SSL cert. I clicked on View Cert and then Install Cert and installed it to the default location. After I close IE, restart and open the OWA page again, I get the Security Alert again. The cert has the correct name for the server but it does say This certificate cannot be verified up to a trusted certification authority. Any ideas?

Re: Weird behavior - both OWA RPC
You could try exporting her email to a PST, removed exchange attributes from her account, and purge her mailbox. Create new mailbox import email and see if that fixes it.

When she sends mail, mail is delivered to internal addresses, but disappears when sent to any outside addresses, even on the same message. Especially from OWA, this is really strange to me.

So I remoted into her machine, checked settings, those appeared to be OK. Then I set her up on OWA and did testing there. Same behavior, inside mail is delivered, external mail never arrives. How the heck does that work, and how can it be dependent on her machine?
