RE: GFI - Ugh

[Mayo, Bill]

I would suggest getting an external appliance.  We use IronPort and are happy 
with it.

As far as the comments about GFI/Sunbelt, I will say that my general 
experiences with GFI used to be great and have gone downhill since they merged 
with Sunbelt.

Subject: GFI - Ugh

Interesting experience this week that I thought I would share.

We use GFI MailEssentials and MailSecurity. Not really thrilled with it, but 
when Sunbelt merged into GFI, we ended up going down that route.

The other day, I get an email saying our maintenance will expire in 60 days. I 
follow the link and renew for a year.

I then get an email from a GFI sales rep saying that what I had renewed wasn't 
correct. They would send me a new quote. They did. It was higher than what I'd 
ordered from their original email.

I told them I'd have to look at some other options but may not going through 
with the renewal. Then they tell me there are no refunds, so I will lose the 
$503 they originally charged me for the product I renewed from the link they 
sent in their email that was incorrect.

What a bait-and-switch! "Here, renew this. Thanks. We have your money. Oops, we 
sent you the wrong renewal quote. The actual one is higher. No refunds."  I 
doubt Sunbelt would have ever done that.

Anyway, who has a good suggestion for anti-spam products that would integrate 
well in an Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007 environment?

Thanks all,

Evan

RE: Offline Address Book, Public Folder Database

[Mayo, Bill]

At this point, I have not removed all the 2003 public folder databases.  (I 
have moved the replicas over to 2010.)  Does that suggest that this will happen 
automatically when I do?  And if it doesn’t, then go and create a new one?

This should NOT be necessary if you have properly removed the public folder 
databases on your Exchange 2003 servers.

And I wouldn’t recommend doing this anyway.

I’d suggest creating a NEW Default Offline Address List and removing the old 
one, to ensure that EVERYTHING gets created properly.

Subject: Offline Address Book, Public Folder Database

As part of my continuing effort to finalize our 2003 to 2010 migration, I was 
confirming that Offline Address Book generation was happening on 2010.  The 
guide I was looking at had an example of running “Get-OfflineAddressBook | fl”. 
 When running this command, I noted that the “PublicFolderDatabase” attribute 
was still showing the Public Folder database on our old 2003 server.  
Everything else indicates the 2010 server.

http://blog.ronnypot.nl/?p=212 describes my scenario.  This page suggests that 
I should go into ADSIEdit and fix this.  I am not particularly keen on that.  
Can anyone confirm/deny this is appropriate or is there something else I have 
missed that would fix this?  We do still have 2003 clients, so I need the PF 
distribution for them.

RE: Public Folder to Room Mailbox problems

[Mayo, Bill]

I am able to do it using that methodology, provided that I make myself a 
delegate first.  It does now show me as the person that updated the event (as 
is logical), which is a minor issue in the short term.

As always, I appreciate the help, Michael.  If anybody else has successfully 
done this via export/import (so that the owner info can be maintained), I would 
love to hear how they did it.

Slipstick.com is the place to look for answers to questions like this.

I can't look right now, but I think this involved changing the default view for 
the calendar PF, select-all, then drag-and-drop. Not hard, but not obvious 
either.

Subject: Public Folder to Room Mailbox problems
I am trying to migrate the contents of a public folder calendar into a room 
mailbox.  I found several articles/forum posts that suggests you can do this by 
exporting the public folder to a PST and then import that into the mailbox via 
New-MailboxImportRequest.  I am having trouble doing this successfully.  I have 
exported from both Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2003.

When you export from your regular mailbox, you get asked about the items to 
export and can choose "Calendar".  That is not the case with a Public Folder.  
It looks to me like at least part of the problem is that the PST export process 
puts the calendar data into a subfolder named "IPM_SUBTREE" and then named the 
name of the actual public folder.  I have gone so far as to manipulate the PST 
(via Outlook) by moving the calendar to the top level of the folder and 
renaming it to "Calendar" as that appears to be the way that a normal calendar 
gets exported.  Even after doing that, I still show nothing in the room mailbox 
after doing the import.

Anybody have any pointers or a link to something I have missed?

It is my understanding that if you have downloaded all the updates via iTunes

Moving from Exchange 2003 to 2010.  We have an email appliance on the 
perimeter.  I am at the stage where I need to change the mail flow to bypass 
the 2003 server(s).  I have found several migration guides that indicate to 
simply check the box to allow Anonymous access on the default receive connector 
on the HT box(es).  IIRC, the Exchange training I took had you create a 
separate receive connector for anonymous access, which would require a separate 
IP (unless I misunderstand something).  The logic I see there would be that I 
could limit that connector to only accept traffic from desired IP's (e.g. the 
email appliance and designated internal devices).  However, we are using NLB on 
these servers for CAS functions and it would make life interesting trying to 
maintain high availability for both.

So, the question is, do most folks simply allow Anonymous on the default 
receive connector, or use a different connector?

RE: Allow anonymous on default Receive Connector?

Okay, I think my confusion about the different IP comes from the wizard.  The 
wizard doesn't ask about remote IP's, so I will need to create it from 
PowerShell in order to get the "unique combination of a local IP address, port 
bindings, and remote IP address ranges".

You don't want to allow Anonymous on the Default Receive Connectors because 
they allow all IP's to connect.

The better answer is to create a new connector, allow anonymous and specify 
only the IP's that you are allowing to send. Also, you don't need another IP, 
Exchange will select the proper connector.

Assuming you have more than one HT server role: Be sure HT to HT SMTP is not 
load balanced, Exchange handles that already.

I am trying to test ActiveSync on Exchange 2010 for the first time.  I have=
 it working, but I am having trouble getting the autodiscover/auto-configur=
ation to work on a test device.  I can tell from our ISA log that the devic=
e is receiving the Autodiscover.xml page.  I also went to www.testexchangec=
onnectivity.com<<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com">http://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com</a>> and did the "Excha=

nly thing that appears to be missing in the XML returned (that is in the ma=
nual configuration) is the network username.  I am wondering if that has so=
mething to do with it.  From testexchangeconnectivity.com, I show the follo=
wing XML (somewhat edited):

RE: Dynamic Distribution Groups and Address Book

I upped the logging and it didn’t make any mention of this distribution list.  
Does anyone else have any ideas why I can’t get any dynamic distribution groups 
to show up in OWA or Outlook?

Thanks, Dave.  I am getting this in the event log:

OALGen skipped some entries in the offline address list '\Global Address List'. 
 To see which entries are affected, event logging for the OAL Generator must be 
set to at least medium.

I also ran the Update-GlobalAddressList command manually and see some warnings

Bill,

Are there any OAL generation errors in the generating server's event log? You 
may want to increase the level of diagnostic logging for the OAL generator and 
then force an update to see if anything shows up.

We're still on Exchange 2007, so what I'm about to mention may not apply to 
Exchange 2010. We had an issue where the task that updates the file 
distribution service on the client access servers was running before the OAB 
was regenerated each morning. This meant that although the generating mailbox 
server had a current version, the CAS servers that our clients get their copy 
from were all out of date by a day.

This was only a serious problem during our initial migration when large numbers 
of mailboxes were being provisioned each night and users' clients couldn't find 
them reliably. I wrote the following simple script to work around that and 
would run it after all the night's mailboxes were provisioned:

Get-GlobalAddressList | Update-GlobalAddressList -Verbose
Get-OfflineAddressBook | Update-OfflineAddressBook -Verbose
Get-ClientAccessServer | Update-FileDistributionService -Verbose -Type "OAB"

question, I think) saw that I am connected via HTTPS.  I then went back and 
changed the IAM to NTLM on both CAS's, shut down Outlook, and restarted Outlook 
again.  I was not prompted that time.

Since I don't have anything to which to compare (I am the first mailbox moved), 
I am not sure if this is normal/expected behavior.  It seems to me that if I am 
on the LAN, I shouldn't be connecting via HTTPS, but I acknowledge I am not 
sure.  As I had indicated before, if I go into my account settings in Outlook

I did.  It works in the sense that it does group by subject, but it isn't the

I'll eventually get used to it.  We have some things that will fire alerts over

easier to mass delete those when they were grouped together.

Subject: Conversations different from Exc 2003 to Exc 2010?


As I have mentioned on earlier questions, I am migrating from Exchange 2003 to 
2010.  Yesterday, I moved my mailbox over to 2010.  After rebooting today, I 
went into Outlook 2010 and my view had been reset.  I have more-or-less reset 
it, but I have one thing that I cannot seem to fix.  I am using the "Show as 
Conversations" function and it works fine for emails that are replies and/or 
forwards.  However, it is no longer taking messages with the exact same subject 
and putting them into a conversation (specifically, bundling them under one 
heading with a disclosure triangle).  I do understand the logic in that, but 
prior to today, messages with the same subject were being done that way.  I 
went to a co-worker that is still on 2003, and with the same settings I have, 
it puts emails with identical subjects into a conversation.  So, my questions 
are: 1) Is this somehow a new "feature" in 2010?, and 2a) If so, any way to go 
back to the former behavior (which I prefer) or 2b) If not, what in the world 
am I missing in the settings?



If I am missing something obvious, I throw myself on the mercy of the court.  I 
have googled it do death.

RE: Yet Another Public Folder Replication Plea

As it has been said many times, many ways: Thank you, Michael!  Not sure

Subject: Yet Another Public Folder Replication Plea

 

Short version: Is there a way to request a refresh/sync of public
folders between 2003/2010?

 

Long version:

I am in the process of trying to finish an Exchange 2003 to 2010
migration.  Last year, a 3rd party was brought in to help us achieve
this.  This 3rd party did everything up until the point of migrating
mailboxes, where we ran into an issue and the whole project had to be
put on hold.  The issue is now resolved, the 3rd party is disengaged,
and I am now trying to finish it.

 

My current issue is with Public Folders.  The 3rd party setup the
initial Public Folder stores on the 2010 servers and made the initial
steps to have them replicated from our 2003 server.  I was checking that
everything was OK there and have found that I have some discrepancies in
the counts on a substantial number of the PFs.  I have done a lot of
googling and a lot of reading to figure out how to pull the info so that
I could make the comparisons.  I have also done a lot of reading about
troubleshooting and, as far as I can tell, there are currently no
replication problems.

 

What I suspect is that in the time that we had the issue that there may
have been too long of a lag in connectivity between the servers and some
of the changes were not received by the 2010 servers.  I also recognize
that some of the differentiation could come from bad data in the 2003
servers, but some of my counts are off by a lot.

 

Based on one troubleshooting article I found, I tried from the 2003
server to "synchronize content", but when I did that I got an error (The
action could not be completed because the Microsoft Exchange Information
Store service is unavailable).  I am doing this from the 2003 server,
targeting the 2010 server, so I suspect that the error is related to the
different versions).  However, I don't see a similar option/concept on
the 2010 side.  FWIW, I have installed PFDAVAdmin in 2003 and ExFolders
in 2010 to get me to this point.  I figure if I could force some kind of
sync, and the counts were still off, I should at least maybe get some
errors in the Event Log that would help (have turned up some logging
during troubleshooting).

 

Any and all help is gratefully received,

Bill Mayo

Can't get it to work.  I've had other accounts connected through this

My thoughts at this point are to disconnect the mailbox from the

I'm planning on using Remove-Mailbox to disconnect and delete the user,
then recreate the account itself manually, then use Connect-Mailbox for
the reconnection.  Should I also do a Clean-MailboxDatabase in between?

 

Sorry for the simplistic question, I'm still really new with the Shell.

RE: Exchange Attachment Size Issue

[Mayo, Bill]

(Apologies to the smarter folks on this list if I am mangle this.)
Email works with text, not binary.  So, your email system has to convert
anything that is not text into text to be able to pass it via email.
The process encodes the binary into text, which increases the size of
it.  Back in the old days, this made for all kinds of fun with
attachments, as there was no standard type of encoding.  These days, I
think it is accurate that most everybody uses MIME.  But, yes, it is
normal that an attachment will grow when added to an email.

Hi all, just an odd question. I have a client who sends out this 8.5MB
pdf contract , they have been using it for years, recently the last
couple of months its getting rejected as being larger than 10mb by many
organizations. 

 

I did a quick test, and I see in the logs that when the email is sent
the transfer is over 11 million bytes . Doing some quick math 8.5MB *
1024 * 1024 = 8912 , but Im seeing 11.4 , 11.3 on the smtp transfer.

 

As a test I sent it to gmail, and sent it back and it was basically the
same 11.4 million bytes. I could shrink the PDF size down as a possible
option (they make about 30 of these per day) but was trying to figure
out what would make an 8.5MB email (no text , tried plain , rich, html)
would come across as 11.4 million (or 11 megs). My initial thought was
that as people move to the cloud exchange and hosted apps there probably
is 10 meg limits , but some of these are clients they do business with
for years and is highly unlikely to impose these kind of restrictions
(although I am checking).

 

Bottom line the client believes we did something in January to their
Exchange 2010 SP1 server that is causing this ... 

 

Any ideas appreciated ...

There is no direct connection between Exchange and CCM of which I am aware (at

The big deal tends to be with IMAP and POP3 clients that depend on the named

If you aren't using IMAP or POP3 clients, then you are probably OK.

Obligatory statement: MAPI clients CAN be affected too. But I've not heard of 
any MAPI clients that are affected outside of one or two journaling vendors who 
have since issued upgrades to their software to work around the issue.

As I mentioned in an earlier question, we have run into the named property

I can understand, the hotfix just makes it so that new named properties aren't

We had started a migration to Exchange 2010, but had to hit the pause button

migration within about 6 months or so, and would rather take the path of least 
resistance in the meanwhile.  If I can get away with just bumping up the quota 
in that timeframe, I am happy.  But if we start to approach the hard limit that 
would obviously be an issue.

So, can anyone recommend whether it is better to try deal with the quota or

modified pages) to the database (they've already been flushed to log files), 
free memory, and terminate the process.

But if for some odd reason the store crashes on shutdown (which _shouldn't_ 
happen but sometimes does on Exchange 2003) it's going to be dependent on how 
many log files have to get replayed to get the store back up.

So...it's best to do this immediately after you've completed a full backup (and 
the log files have been flushed).

I just want to clarify something.  Is there a way to make a department
public calendar only visible to the individuals in a dept.  I know I can
create a public visible calendar with rights on it but this department
wants to have it only seen by them.  Running 2003 enterprise sp2.  I
told them that someone would have to make a calendar and share it out to
the group.  Otherwise public is visible.  I guess they do not want to
have someone responsible for it.  Not sure why they want it private.
Same goes for executives.  Am I right in saying it has to be managed by
one if they want it not visible

Good day, all.  Odd situation I cannot seem to figure out.  Suddenly as

needed to check the Sent Items (Outlook '03) for a possible DLP issue.
While I could add the mailbox to my profile, I was unable to open it.
In checking things out I found that there was a new inherited Deny
setting for the Domain Admins group.  Inherited at the data store, and
inherited from parent object at the server level.  What I cannot figure
out is from what object it is being inherited.  There's no permissions
tab at the administrative group or organization levels.  What is it I'm
looking for?

RE: Exchange 2007 backup

Tivoli offers a special client/agent for backing up Exchange servers.
It is a separate license.  We are still on Exchange 2003, but I can
report that the TSM agent definitely works on a clustered Exchange 2003
server.  I would expect that the answer to your question is yes, but
agree with Missy that you should check with Tivoli (directly or via

All the hate 'in.  MS does some things very well.  No argument from
me about not being perfect.  They do, do some things very well.  The
most important, being as agile as they are for the size of the org.  The
process for identifying bugs and addressing them is outstanding!  MS
normally knows about problems in Exchange long before they show up on
the street. No company no matter what they do can have ESP with their
products, regardless of what they may be.  In many cases you have to
have the product on the street before you can find all the problems with
a release.  As far as MS and Exchange go, MS has the largest Exchange
deployment in the world, bar none.  They're able to test extensively in
house before anything goes to the public and then goes public internally
before it goes to the street.  Very few knee jerks. 
As for Iphones, as they started landing in the hands of customers, we
started seeing CAS issues.  A crack team of forensic engineers was on
the problem immediately.  Unfortunately there was a lot of band aiding
and massaging going on till Apple came out with the patch.  If a
component is not broken you can't fix it.  It's also very hard to design
a product that will be compatible with all future 3rd party products no
matter what they may be.  It's just not possible. Still no ESP.

Encoded messages not displaying properly in Outlook 2003

[Mayo, Bill]

We have received several reports in the last couple of weeks of emails
coming in that have not been properly decoded by Outlook 2003.  In the
examples that I have seen, the person is basically seeing the raw
formatted message.  The ones that I have seen are MIME encoded.  I would
normally write this off to something getting munged along the way, but
we have had enough reports that it makes me think there is something
going on.  I was wondering if it was maybe due to some incompatibility
introduced by newer email clients, and if anyone else had run into this.
It is not terribly widespread at this point, and I have done some
searching, but my google-fu was weak.

FWIW, we are using Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook 2003, with an
IronMail appliance on the perimeter.

Thanks for any info,
Bill Mayo

RE: Cisco Unity Upgrade - Version 4 to Version 7

[Mayo, Bill]

Have not experienced this particular problem, but it does sound like the
Unity service account has some kind of permission issue on those
mailboxes.  What I have found in looking at somewhat similar issues is
that it can be extremely difficult to adequately compare permissions
between a working mailbox and a non-working one and the easiest solution
is what they suggest--delete and re-create.  I can understand why you
wouldn't want to do that if there are a lot, though.
 
The only thing that I have ever run across that was like that and was
resolvable had to do with the user account in question having been a
member of a "special" group in the past.  For example, if you have ever
been in "Domain Admins" or "Print Operators" on the DC (to name a
couple), you get flagged in AD and your permissions get reset at a
regular interval.  If these are generic department accounts, though, I
would not expect that to be your problem.  If you would like more
specific info on that, let me know and I will dig out my notes.
 
Good luck!

Good morning (or afternoon) everyone,
 
Our Network Services team recently upgraded Cisco Unity from version 4
to version 7. For all intensive purposes, the upgrade went fairly well.
There is one nagging issue that we have a workaround for, but I'm hoping
some of you may  have experienced a similar situation and were able to
come up with a better solution.
 
Environment:
Windows 2003 AD
Exchange 2003 SP2 - 2 mailbox servers, one front-end server
Cisco Unuity 7
 
Individual Unity subscribers are able to access their own voicemail, via
Outlook Viewmail 7.02 and via the phones themselves without issue.
However, several branch offices use a departmental unity account which
is tied into a departmental mailbox. Users in these office can play the
voicemail via Outlook just fine, but when they dial the extension to
check the message for that departmental account, they hear the response
"your message cannot be accessed at this time".
 
Our Network Services team has run the Unity permissions wizard several
times to verify that everything is setup correctly. The various service
accounts did not change from the previous version. Cisco support finally
suggested that the offending mailboxes be deleted and a new mailbox be
created. This seems to resolve the issue. However, we'd rather not have
to follow through with this solution considering the number of mailboxes
that are affected. 
 
I've tried deleting the mailbox and simply re-associating with the
original account. I've also tried moving the mailbox between storage
groups and between mailbox servers. Using ADSIEdit, I've tracked down
the permissions applied to the Information Stores and it all appears to
be setup correctly. 
 
Has anyone experienced anything similar? More importantly, were you able
to identify an easier solution?

RE: Attachments not showing up in Outlook

I am familiar with this issue with Outlook 2007 clients when an email

like your circumstances are different, but similar enough to mention it.

This one has me stumped.  We're an Exchange 2007 shop with Outlook

We've recently received several emails from a customer using AOL.
They've attached small (~15K) pdfs to the emails. The attachments are
properly received by the Exchange server and they show up and open just
fine in OWA.
 
They DON'T appear in either Outlook 2002 or Outlook 2003. No icon in the
folder view, no attachment when they open the email. The email itself
opens fine, it just looks like the sender forgot the attachment.
 
Ideas?

RE: Cannot forward attachments on iPhone through Exchange

[Mayo, Bill]

That's a generic message which generally indicates that it did not get
an acknowledgment from the server that the message was accepted.  When I
have seen this message it has been one of two things: 1) There was no
network connection, and 2) The connection was minimal (e.g. 1 bar) and
the message was large.  In the case of 2, sending the same message via
wi-fi had no issues.  This leads me to the conclusion that there is some
kind of timeout being hit because the contents of the message are not
completed timely enough.  Have you tested this issue over the AT&T
network and a wi-fi network?

 There is no context in that question about corporations or enterprise

correspond to what your fingers type, so "no harm, no foul" from my perspective.

 

I agree with you that the iPhone is not quite enterprise ready, at least from 
the perspective of companies that have specific data they need protected via 
legal requirement.  That is not every company, though, and I am certain there 
are many places that the current functionality is "good enough".  What I don't 
agree with is that Apple is touting that all security issues for enterprises 
are addressed.  As someone that has followed this pretty closely since the 
iPhone was announced, I feel safe saying that Apple created and designed a 
consumer phone with the idea in the back of their head that this might have 
some enterprise use in the future.  Apple is first and foremost a consumer 
product company and have been for a very, very long time.  That is not to say 
that they haven't tried to dabble in the enterprise market some (e.g. XSAN), 
but that is not their core focus.  When the iPhone originally came out, people 
came out of the woodwork asking for enterprise features.  Apple began trying to 
address that, adding some features in each subsequent release.  They have made 
quite a bit of progress in a short amount of time.  But it is just that: a 
short amount of time.  It's like people complaining about the issues with the 
App Store, which didn't even open until July 2008 (just over a year).  I think 
it's safe to say that they were overwhelmed by the scale of the success 
(developers, downloads) of the whole thing.  Again, it is obvious they are 
working to correct issues on it, but it is still basically just out of diapers. 
 But back to the main point, Apple has been working to add the features that 
people are demanding and sometimes marketing-speak can make you look silly.  
Again, the iPhone is first and foremost a consumer device, so they have to 
balance the development resources appropriately (in other words, they just 
aren't going to focus on enterprise functions and ignore all those folks that 
want whiz-bang new features, like video).

 

I think we can agree that the iPhone is not the answer for every business.  
However, the iPhone is a fantastic piece of tech, and cannot be dismissed as 
silly/crap/junk as so often comes up on this list.

Well said.

 

As much as I dont like it for business, I do love this thing.  I 
recently mounted and hard-wired audio/charging into my car, and I couldnt be 
happier with it (since its Jailbroken *snicker*).

 

I do wish they would expidite more corporate features.  But with the 
MobileMe service push, I just dont see that happening anytime soon.

RE: iPhone experience

[Mayo, Bill]

That goes both ways.  Just listen to the dismissive way in which Ballmer and 
Michael Dell have referred to Apple, if nothing else.  Ballmer dismissed the 
iPhone out of hand prior to it being released, only to have to backtrack later. 
 Likewise, he refers to Apple's percentages (software sales, Safari usage) as 
"rounding errors".  Michael Dell famously said that Apple should sell off it 
assets and give the money back to the shareholders many years ago.  Personally, 
I find the Mac/PC ads funny and recognize them for what they are...marketing.  
As for the other ad campaigns they have (iPhone, iPod/iTunes), they are pretty 
much what you suggest (promoting the product) without much mention of the 
competition at all.

Hi Bill
I agree that the iphone is a great tool, but not a great tool for the 
enterprise...yet.  It may get there.  Apple needs to be more forthright however 
with it's declarations of security, and call a spade a spade.  Those are the 
things that bug me the most about Apple.  Their advertising is cute, however it 
is more like a smear campaign then actually promoting their product.  (kind of 
like election ads up here in Canada).  Would be nice if they actually 
advertised for their product instead of against the competitor.  It gets 
tiresome hearing someone badmouthing the product you and your company use day 
in and day out all the time.   I was in Costco yesterday buying a central vac 
for the new house.  The lady behind me commented that she used to have one of 
those in the house, but now she has a Dyson.  Wouldn't ever look back.  Thanks! 
 Here I am making a big money purchase and she is trash talking it.  I 
instantly thought she must be a Mac user.  Anyways...it is Beerday and I must 
get ready to wander home...rant over.

 The license agreements with those routers don't prohibit third-party
firmware.  Indeed, in many cases, they're specifically required to
release the source under the GPL.  Some even advertise their
compatibility with third-party firmware as a feature, e.g., WRT54GL.

I personally have an iPhone and I can report that I dropped it while I was

stood horrified) and finally landed face down on the glass screen.  I can 
report that the only damage was some dings to the edges (where it tumbled) and 
no damage to the screen.  That is not to say that the screen isn't 
breakable--it certainly is.  I would just rate it as being tougher than it 
looks, not that I don't *try* to be careful with it.

OK, so my reply to you:  

 

I didnt say to pin it on anything.  I said it can be done; which is 
true.

 

I didnt say to do it or not to; only that its possible.  I really dont know how 
I could have written a more neutral statement about it originally or in my 
reply to you.  I dont think its fair to say I'm being disingenuous because of 
my intentional neutrality.

 

Touché on the open source bits of router firmware, which opens the door wide 
for any modifications. My mistake for neglecting to take that into 
consideration. But, these forums have not been quick to uphold Microsoft's 
licensing when it comes to phone firmware/software customization.  Theft, sure. 
 Customization?  No.

 

Jailbreaking is not theft.  Your comparison to BitTorrent use was disingenuous 
- for real.

 Not your reply to Bob, you reply to me.  Which I read along the

talking about, I was just saying it's theoretically possible."  You
want to argue you don't think it's a big deal, or you interpret the
license different, or something like that (which you did, now), okay.
I might not agree, but I can respect that.  But playing language
lawyer to try and dodge ownership of what you say -- that is bogus.  I
have no respect for that.  Maybe that's not what you intended to mean,
in which case, I apologize.

 The license agreements with those routers don't prohibit third-party
firmware.  Indeed, in many cases, they're specifically required to
release the source under the GPL.  Some even advertise their
compatibility with third-party firmware as a feature, e.g., WRT54GL.

 Apple/AT&T forbids it in their licenses, release updates to counter
it, and threatens legal action.

 See the difference?

> Apple is not special.

 No, they're not.  And these forums are usually pretty quick to
uphold Microsoft's licenses.  So why not Apple's?

We seem to have uncovered a strange/scary issue with some users
who are connecting to Exchange 2007 SP1 mailboxes via EWS using either
Apple mail.app, iCal or Entourage (more prevelant on mail.app and ical).

 

1. Users have reported inbox subfolders go missing, both from
the client and server, never to be seen again.  The inbox doesn't get
touched though.

2. Users on occasion are presented someone elses mailbox when
giving their own credentials

3. Users have sent messages and the FROM address is someone
elses, when tracked via Exchange it appears from the "FROM" addresses
mailbox

 

Raised a ticket with MS but thier response was "We don't support
SL".  This clearly seems like a server issue, but we can't reproduce on
anything other than SL.

 

Just curious if anyone else has seen any issues like this using
EWS.

We evaluated the Barracuda at the same time as Ironmail.  Barracuda very
definitely does not do everything the Ironmail does.  I can't
specifically recall the bit about things like SS numbers, but I am
thinking "no" on the Barracuda.  As I recall, a key differentiator
between something like a Barracuda and IronMail (and others in its price
range) had to do with the company having a reputation system (where they
actively track what sending IP addresses are up to).  I am not knocking
the Barracuda, because I have not used it, but our group definitely felt
it was not on the same level as the IronMail--and that is reflected in

RE: Anti-SPAM Appliances

I won't comment on GFI (I like SOME of their products).  What I will say
is that, while I generally like having things under my control, I find
the appliance model to be the best one for dealing with spam (YMMV).  It
gives you a middle ground between an offsite service and having to
maintain the software/hardware yourself.  It is one less server that I
have to worry about directly administering.  It basically "just works"
and if there is a problem, I just contact their support who deal with
it.  The only real problem is that if the box were to completely die, I
don't have any direct ability to get a replacement up and running...but
even that can be mitigated (you can cluster the appliances).

We have an IronMail that we purchased a little over a year ago.  We had
major problems with spam at that time (our software solution wasn't
cutting it), and the IronMail eliminated them.  Having spam sneak
through is relatively (legit to spam ratio) rare these days.  The
installer was a real pro, and little administration is required.  We
haven't had many issues, but when they arise, their support has been
very responsive.

RE: Anti-SPAM Appliances

[Mayo, Bill]

I haven't had to do any tuning whatsoever on the appliance.  A major
criteria for detection is based on the reputation of the sender (via
Secure Computing's "Trusted Source"), and it is very good at singling
out bad guys.  That isn't to say that it doesn't do any other
evaluations (it actually does something like 20 IIRC), but reputation is
a major factor.  Clients are able to make their own whitelists for false
positives, and there have been few instances where I had to whitelist
something at the organizational level (generally needed if the return
address is dynamic).
 
Installation service is part of the deal (non-optional as I recall).  It
did not take him long to get it up and running, but there are a lot of
options in there and I don't know that I would have felt comfortable
trying to set it up without him there.

We use GFI for SPAM control - work decent, but requires alot of tuning.
 
Does Ironport require much in the way of tuning rules for SPAM?
 
Do you really need an installer?  From what I have read its almost
plug-n-play.
 

Thanks,

Brian

Yes, we started using Ironport this January after years of using Trend.
No problems at all. Support is great and the users are very happy. The
encrpytion feature has become very useful in the legal business.

RE: favorite phone

[Mayo, Bill]

If you are primarily concerned with email and typing, then an iPhone is
probably not your best choice.  That said, I have an iPhone and I have
seen other devices that jumped on the "touch" bandwagon, and I can
assure you that I am not jealous of any of them.  The iPhone doesn't
simply allow you to use your finger in place of a mouse; it has a
radically different interface that works in a natural and brilliant
fashion.  I have absolutely no problem typing on the screen for what I
need to do with it, although it does take some getting used to and you
have to learn to trust the auto-correction (i.e. don't keep backspacing
because you hit the wrong key).  I do not want, nor do I need a physical
keyboard.

I did not get my iPhone for business use, but the integrated Cisco VPN
and free/cheap SSH and RDP clients make it easy to do quick problem
troubleshooting/correction wherever I might happen to be.

I would also note that while many of these phones may use the same touch
screen hardware as the iPhone, the responsiveness is more a function of
the software, and the iPhone excels in this area.

Apple is a consumer electronics company and they have made a consumer
device that has some "business" ability as well.  You have to determine
what your primary need/purpose is and make a decision from there, but
the iPhone does exactly what it was designed to in fine fashion.

I have used an iPhone also, and I have tons of friends who use them.
They all brag on them until they see my Fuze and then they suddenly get
jealous. It is thicker due to the real keyboard, but if you use it for
business purposes (RDP, email, document reading/editing/creating) having
that real keyboard is a must. Trying to take notes in a business meeting
on an iPhone's "keyboard" really doesn't work.

I've already made a few iPhone users jealous with my Touch Pro (same
thing as a fuze). Keyboard too small? Smaller then the keyboard on an
iPhone? 
Doesnt the fuze have the slide out keyboard? I like the slide out
keyboard but I find the touch screen one to be the same as the one on
the iPhone. 
Also the touch screen is the same as the iPhones. I used both but for
work purposes I need Win Mobile.
