RE: Send As

2013-05-10 Thread Steven Alfano
To my knowledge this cannot be done using an Exchange client

However, if you have IMAP service running, then this is possible using IMAP 
clients as they can be configured for different reply to address.  It will 
also depend upon your outgoing server as to weather a unique reply-to address 
will be overwritten when sending.

I am not a big fan of doing this so my suggestion is to create a 
'shared/resource mailbox' so that these addresses can be kept distinct and use 
Send-As access.  This will work better, just as long as Sent items for 
'project mailbox' don't need to be kept in that mailbox.

Subject: Send As

I have a user j...@somewhere.commailto:j...@somewhere.com.  I added an 
address to his properties so he could receive mail sent to 
proj...@somewhere.commailto:proj...@somewhere.com.  Project doesn't have a 
separate mailbox, it's mail just gets delivered to Joes's address and joe has a 
rule that redirects project mail to a specific folder.  Now, Joe would like to 
send mail as proj...@somewhere.commailto:proj...@somewhere.com so mail comes 
from the project instead of him.  Is it possible to do a send as when project 
doesn't have a mailbox?

Thanks for your help.

RE: Mailbox - Deleted Items and Recoverable Items - remove all retention from specific mailboxes

2013-03-21 Thread Steven Alfano
I would be cautioned about using retention settings for databases   User 
limits will override these setting with the addition of some service pack or 
rollup.  (Smarter people than I can confirm this)

I believe the default mailbox settings for parameters 
RecoverableItemsWarningsQuota and RecoverableItemsQuota are set to unlimited

The database RecoverableItemsQuota is set to 30 GB but we had an errant email 
client gone bad and had his recoverable items exceed 70 GB almost crashing a 
DB due to size expansion.   We have added modest settings for users 'dumpsters' 
to avoid this issue in the future.

I believe it used to be the value on the DB was what was used but at some point 
this changed.

Dana,

In this mailbox, under Mailbox Settings | Storage Quotas, you can change the 
Deleted item retention to 1 day so it will not use the inherited 60 day 
setting.

Another option is to create a 1GB database and include it in the DAG.  Since 
the Keep deleted items for (days) setting is set on a per database level, you 
can set this new 1GB database for 1 day.  That way, it's different from the 
current 60 day setting you have for your other databases.  Once you move the 
mailbox to this new 1GB database, it will inherit the database settings.

I prefer the first option as there are less steps involved.

Subject: Mailbox - Deleted Items and Recoverable Items - remove all retention 
from specific mailboxes
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:58:31 +
Greetings,
Just tossing this out for review.
Exchange 2010 SP2 UR3
Standard two node DAG
Standard 10 MEG email attachment limit

Project:
Implement XEROX Webprint so remote or wireless students  can submit print jobs 
to a specific campus mailbox which they can then print at any campus XEROX 
printer.

( We know how to make this XEROX process work to get the final printing 
outcome).

My concern is EXCHANGE storage space on our servers, as we are a bit tight  and 
no data on how much will be taken with this project with all the attachments.
FYI - Vendor indicates that we need to use POP3, but that IMAP may be an option.
Vendor also indicates that with POP3 and their product, all messages will be 
REMOVED from our EXCHANGE server as soon as forwarded to the XEROX web print 
server.

I questioned vendor  if it is really removed, or simply moved to Deleted Items 
and then to Recoverable Items folder ( formerly Dumpster) but vendor is not 
certain.
I suspect I could put a specific retention tag on the mailboxes in question so 
Deleted Items are removed after 24 hours, but not sure if this can be done with 
individual mailbox on  the Recoverable Items folder, as our global setting is 
60 days.
Otherwise, storage space could be taken up in Recoverable Items folder for 60 
days.

In Summary, my goal is to make sure anything sent to the XEROX print mailboxes 
is deleted after 24-48 hours and not taking space on our Exchange DAG.
There is no requirement to preserve this print data, nor do we want to.

Hoping for any input or questions if I was not clear in the above.

Thank you

Dana

RE: TMG replacement.

2013-03-14 Thread Steven Alfano
We also use TMG and this is what I have heard from both from our TAM and from 
MS engineers at MEC.  UAG is the 'official' replacement; however everyone 
acknowledges this it is not the best fit when using ONLY for Exchange.  TMG is 
supported with Exchange 2013.  If you are on Exchange 2010 now and are using an 
'array'; the updates to the Firewall Policy Rules are almost painless.  No more 
silent redirect needed! We will have these changes confirmed on our test 
environment in about 60 days.  Sooner, if I get a lot of extra free time!

Another alternative is to use F5.  We looked at this prior to implementing 
ISA/TMG and it looked better than TMG except for cost which was like $25,000.00 
- $30,000.00 several years ago for our intended application.  I spoke to the 
folks at F5 in MEC back in September and while we didn't speak about exact 
pricing, I believe they are not so pricy now. We use F5 for non-windows servers 
any they seem to have a pretty good product.

MS has announced that there will be MEC sometime in April of 2014. It was 
stated at MEC 2012 that this would not be an annual event but be held when they 
have something important to showcase with regard to Exchange. Weather this will 
be to announce exchange 2015 or something more realistic like Edge Transport or 
TMG replacement is anyone's guess.  Lots of people expressed dissatisfaction 
with MS at MEC 2012 on not having updates/replacements to both Edge and TMG, 
perhaps they got the message!

Meanwhile, TMG is supported for Exchange 2013 as is Edge 2010 for people who 
currently use these products.  As I believe TMG will not reach end of life for 
several years now; we plan to continue to use TMG as we only use this product 
for client connections to exchange and UAG is not a good fit for us. (Feeling 
for Nick's comment if I can ever get it to work properly ...)

RE: Email receipt mystery

2013-03-06 Thread Steven Alfano
Tammy,

Richard is correct; the tracking log is absolute 
I tracked your message on our server

Get-MessageTrackingLog -Recipients salf...@rockefeller.edu -Start 3-4-2013 
10:50 am -End 3-4-2013 10:51 am -Server hub1 -EventId DELIVER -Sender

Timestamp   : 3/4/2013 10:50:09 AM
Sender  : tammy.geo...@acadiau.ca
Recipients  : {salf...@rockefeller.edu}
RecipientStatus : {ExchangeListServ}

In the above results it indicates that the message was delivered (EventId = 
DELIVER) the time, the sender who it came to and the all important 
RecipientStatus (it was redirected to a mailbox folder called ExchangeListServ)

If you cannot find the message in the tracking log then it never was seen as 
received by the Transport.  In your case I would try and determine what is 
different from you and User A as the unix hosted email list is commonly 
shared by both of you.

If the tracking log indicates message delivery you need to investigate this 
from his client as said before Junk-Email etc

Hello.

A user who reports he's not receiving some emails sent to him from a few 
specific users (possibly more).Our environment is Exchange 2010.

After much testing, we've determined the following (from the user's 
perspective):

- all emails sent to him from User A using Outlook are received (including Unix 
hosted mailing lists  not)
- all emails sent to him specifically from User A using OWA are received.
- emails sent to him via a Unix hosted email list from User A using OWA are NOT 
received.
- I sent a message from OWA to the same Unix hosted email list which he's a 
member of and he received them ok.

From the Exchange server's point of view:

Tracking Log Explorer shows that all messages are being received by the User.

He's searched his mailbox, checked his filtering/rules and is confident they 
were not received.

I have message IDs of the 'unreceived' messages as well as subject, etc.

Is there any additional way I can prove these messages were delivered to the 
user's mailbox and where they may be?

Thank you.

Thank you all your responses ...

With respect to handling event calendars; we useshared department mailboxes 
(just a regular mailbox) where we assigned permission by group.  Members of the 
department have Author permissions and a select few have Publisher 
permissions.  This offers all department members the opportunity to post / edit 
their own day events or to have some department Admins do it for them.  We all 
know at a glance who working from home, on vacation or away on business. There 
are guidelines on how to post so the calendar is consistent.

The main issue I face with calendars now is that with Exchange 2007 users were 
able to set shared (i.e. Regular) mailboxes to autoaccept via Outlook 
calendar resource scheduling and now they can't.  It was suggested I contact MS 
support to fix this broken feature for Exchange 2010.

The solution would be to change the mailbox type as suggested:
Set-Mailbox -Identity Name -Type Regular,Room,Equipment,Shared 
-Confirm:$False

Once this is done then the Set-CalendarProcessing (Exchange 2010 only command) 
can be use to set the calendar to Autoaccept

http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/02/26/3407028.aspx

I think the main thing to understand is the difference between user mailboxes 
and resource (room  equipment) mailboxes. While both types are Exchange 
mailboxes, they have very different options available to them regarding 
calendaring. Outlook clients do not play into this at all, I think we might be 
using different terminology.

Regarding shared mailboxes... I've seen shared mailboxes called both user  
resource mailboxes in differing circumstances. I think when it comes to 
calendaring, though, you should consider them as a user mailbox and not a 
resource. It would be best to operate under the assumption that there are 
actually 3 types of mailboxes: user, resource (room  equipment), and shared. I 
cannot find a reliable source that also splits out the 3 types as I described , 
but that's definitely what I've found in practice.

Back to calendaring, however... two things can automate calendar usage. See the 
link above for details on the difference between what they do:

1)  Calendar Attendant (User  Resource mailboxes)

2)  Resource Booking Attendant (Only Resource mailboxes)

Other possible pages you might find useful...
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201680.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124255.aspx

Summary: don't use shared mailboxes for calendaring.

So how do you handle needs such as a place to document a  department's 
out-of-office schedule, birthday, or general events? I call that category 
Event Calendars and I behind the scenes I set them as a Room calendar so I 
can use the Resource Booking Attendant. This kind of messes up built in outlook 
features and these event calendars will be shown under the heading Rooms. I 
hope that Microsoft releases an option to allow for this kind of calendar 
natively.

I'd love to hear of a better way to handle event calendars if anyone has one.

Subject: Exchange 2010 User Mailboxes and AutoAccept

I hope I have an easy question for someone.  I am looking for some 
documentation to confirm what I suspect to be true.  Exchange 2010 User mailbox 
types cannot have Automatic Calendar Processing set either by Outlook Client or 
by EMS.

In the tests I have run; setting a mailbox to automatically accept meeting 
requests and remove canceled meetings will not work as the meeting request is 
delivered to the inbox and the meeting is set in the calendar as tentative.  
This is the same result as if the Outlook resource scheduling options were not 
applied.

When I look at the shared mailbox resource scheduling via Outlook I do not see 
anything checked however when looking at the properties within the shell I see 
that this shared mailbox is set to AutoAccept.

Get-mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -RecipientTypeDetails Sharedmailbox |

RE: Problem with Message Tracking Report

2012-10-23 Thread Steven Alfano
Lori,

Sometimes when exporting to a CSV file you 'lose' information.  Someone smarter 
than I can tell you why but I know it is necessary to covert this 'value' to a 
'string' like using {$_.recipients}

I use message tracking a lot so the command would be 

Get-MessageTrackingLog -Sender m...@mydomain.com -Start 10-23-2012 00:00:00 
am -End 10-23-2012 10:00:00 am -Server YourHubTransportServer | 
Select-Object TimeStamp, Sender, Recipients, MessageSubject 

This will work however when you add | Export-Csv FilePath\ExportFile.csv to 
this; then you get blanks in the recipients column.  Here is the command with 
proper syntax to convert this value. 


Get-MessageTrackingLog -Sender m...@mydomain.com -Start 10-23-2012 00:00:00 
am -End 10-23-2012 10:00:00 am -Server YourHubTransportServer |

RE: Mailbox Calendar question

2012-10-10 Thread Steven Alfano
If the executive is using Mac Mail are they using iCal for Appointments and if 
not then what are they using for calendar synchronization with other assumed 
devices; iCloud?



If you wish to remove all appointments then perhaps the shell command 
Set-CalendarProcessinghttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335046.aspx
 may work using the None parameter for AutomateProcessing.  If this is too 
drastic you may consider a workaround and use Outlook server based rules which 
mostly work with Mac Mail.  Here is a good article for mailbox management that 
clearly defines this practice.  The Three Most Important Outlook Rules for 
Processing 
Mailhttp://www.hanselman.com/blog/TheThreeMostImportantOutlookRulesForProcessingMail.aspx
  ... This is just a workaround and I think that two mailbox solution 
previously offered, while a painful process; may be the best long term solution.



Whatever path you choose, I recommend testing on a mailbox other than this 
executive first just to make sure you have the desired results.  Mac Mail/ iCal 
do not always play well with exchange 2010 when using iPhone/iPads and 
ActiveSync.  Please also consider your backup strategy and ability to restore 
calendar items when something an ISO 5.0 upgrade on a device wipes out all 
appointments!



It is nice to see that I'm not alone in supporting Mac's in an Exchange 2010 
environment.

Subject: Mailbox Calender question

We are running Exchange 2010 SP2 RU4, our users are on Mac Mail clients.  I 
have an Executive that doesn't want to receive any calendar invites.  This 
Executive has a very busy schedule and a personal assistant that manages most 
of his meeting times.  Since everyone in the company knows his email address he 
is constantly getting emails about meeting invitations, changes, declines, etc. 
 Also with the Calendar Attendant enabled on the mailbox the personal calendar 
is getting cluttered with tentative meeting request.  Ideally would only like 
to see the meetings manually entered.

Does anyone know if disabling the Calendar Attendant would prevent calendar 
requests from showing up on the calendar?  My gut feeling is that the user will 
still see request emails to the inbox, if so can those be disabled as well?

I've logged into the mailbox via OWA and was not able to find any rules that 
would alleviate this behavior.  Nor have I found anything on the Calendar 
Settings tab for the mailbox.  I did find a set-calendarProcessing cmdlet with 
an AutomatedProcessing parameter but it seems this only applies to a resource 
mailbox and not a user mailbox.

Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeve?  Any sort or Exchange based ACL's 
I could put into place?  I am grasping at straws on how to disable calendar 
invites.

In advance thanks for any feedback!

RE: Outlook provider

I concur ... Microsoft is moving away from MAPI to exclusive use of outlook 
anywhere; better to embrace this rather than try and put yourself in an

Subject: Outlook provider

Hi all,

I was reading the following blog entry 
(http://ilantz.com/2009/06/18/prevent-outlook-anywhere-aka-rpc-over-http-from-being-automaticly-configured-in-exchange-2007-with-autodiscover/)
 :

Once Outlook Anywhere is configured on a client access server an EXPR entry 
is created. Then the autodiscover application picks up the change and publish 
it, along with the url's for OAB,EWS  Availability.
This basically force the automatic propagation of settings into the profile, 
including the checkbox for Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP and 
filling the information for the HTTP proxy and authentication methods.

If i understand correctly, if the EXPR entry is set, all new Outlook clients 
will be set to use by default RPC over HTTP, am i right?



I ran recently the EXBPA on my ex2k10 boxes and as a result i had a SAN 
certificate mismatch warning and the fix was:

Use the Exchange Management Shell to modify the CertPrincipalName attribute to 
match the FQDN that Outlook uses to access the resource. To do this, use the 
following command:

Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName:msstd:FQDN the certificate is 
issued to

So i ran Set-OutlookProvider EXPR 
-CertPrincipalName:msstd:webmail.acme.comhttp://webmail.acme.com


If i look at the Outlook Provider on my CAS server:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32Get-OutlookProvider

Name  ServerCertPrincipalName   
  TTL
  ---   
  ---
EXCH
  1
EXPR
msstd:webmail.acme.comhttp://webmail.acme.com 1
WEB 
  1


My question is, as the blog indicates should i run Get-outlookprovider 
-identity EXPR | remove-outlookprovider
in order to keep the ability to have users (internally) not to use RPC over 
HTTP ?

RE: iOS 6 issues with Exchange ActiveSync

2012-10-04 Thread Steven Alfano
We have one confirmed reported issue that fits this description.  This user has 
many devices attaching to Exchange 2010 SP2 RU4. These are iPhone5 iOS6, 
Outlook 2011 (EWS), OWA (Safari) along with an iPad2 (iOS6). The 'missing' 
calendar items were found and restored from the iPad as they were removed from 
the mailbox and subsequently all other 'devices/cache'.  We believe the iPad 
triggered the loss as this is where the missing calendar items were found but 
have no further proof as to how this may have occurred.

As most of our faculty has numerous devices to connect to email, this has the 
potential to be a very serious issue.  I have hear many time that Microsoft 
supports ActiveSync in general but it is up to the individual manufacture as to 
how they implement this in their device.  Basically there is no 'official' 
assistance from MS on these intermittent issues. Now is the time to review how 
good your backup software really is.

I see this:

So by default anyone on Exchange can create folders, but I'd like to reduce the 
permissions on it so only a Public Folder Admins group can create top level 
folders.but it looks like I can't remove a permission or add a 
permission...even with the Administrator user who also happens to have the 
necessary exchange permissions.

When I attempt to add...I get a Failed to commit the change on object \ 
because access is denied. Error.


Any solutions?

RE: Exchange 2010

2012-05-15 Thread Steven Alfano
We had issues with permissions as you described across exchange 2007 and 2010 
servers (same org/site) and when we corrected issues with Availability Service 
the issues with permissions on shared calendars seemed to also go away.   I 
have not found any definitive information from Microsoft about Availability 
Service issues that would explain what you are experiencing in the article 
Understanding the Availability 
Servicehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232134.aspx. However this 
is a pretty good article that may provide some insight. I do know that 
Availability Service and calendar free/busy and perhaps other permissions too, 
is intrinsically tied to IIS EWS.



My only other suggestion would be to put on the latest SP and rollup. Again; I 
don’t recall anything with the latest updates that would address your specific 
issue.  Who knows you may get lucky and it wouldn’t be the first time an update 
fixed something that wasn’t documented to fix.

As the the other mailbox store is the only reason I can come up with for the 
Insufficient permissions error messages.  I've triple checked the permissions.



In particluar I have three users in a group that I'm ealing with here.



Two are in one mail store, one is in another.



The two in mail store A can see each other's calendars without issue, but not 
the users calendar in mail store B.  The one in mail store B can't see 
either calendar in mail store A.



What doesn't make sense to me is that for this kind of collaboration it 
shouldn't matter what mailbox store the mailbox lives in.



For futher information mailbox store A is the mailbox store that was created 
during the Exchange 2010 installation process, and mailbox store B is the one 
that was created after all the patching was completed.



Has anyone seen this before, and is the only answer moving the users out of 
mailbox store A and decommissioning the stupid thing?

RE: Disappearing messages

2011-08-24 Thread Steven Alfano
Just to clarify; on the exchange CAS/Mailbox server for the intended recipient 
you indicated that  ... the test emails subsequently do not show up in the 
Exchange message tracking logs at all ...  

If you run through the shell example of cmdlet below 

Get-MessageTrackingLog -Recipients usern...@domain.com -Start 8-1-2011 12:00 
am -End 8-23-2011 11:59 pm -EventId RECEIVE -Server Name of CAS server | 
FL 

If the message is not found in the message tracking log most likely it was not 
delivered focusing efforts trying to track the message prior to receipt. If the 
message is found in the tracking log then concentrate efforts on what may have 
happened to the message after it was delivered, consider all previous 
suggestions and do not over look other mobile/handheld devices connected to the 
mailbox. 

Hope this helps!

Hey all,

I have a client using Exchange 2010 on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.  We send 
emails to the client with invoices through our ConnectWise system.  The user at 
the location has reported that the last 3 invoices she did not receive.  Our 
office manager then manually forwarded the emails with the attached PDF's and 
she received those okay.  So we started looking into the issue.  The office 
manager does not receive any bouncebacks, ConnectWise did not show any issues 
on their side, and all of our emails go through GFI/Katharion which is our spam 
filter service, and the message tracking logs show the emails are being 
delivered.

I pulled up the Receive and Send connector logs on the client's Exchange server 
and found nothing showing any kind of errors or dropping of messages.  In fact 
the test emails subsequently do not show up in the Exchange message tracking 
logs at all, but the Receive connector logs show an actual handshake with no 
errors.  The user simply doesn't get them, and they're not in any alternate 
folder in Outlook or in her Junk Email folder either.  We currently do not have 
any Antispam running on the server itself, and I have disabled Content 
filtering through the Shell (although I don't even see that it's installed at 
all.

I'm at a loss at where to go from here.

Thanks,

Jay

RE: Exchange 2010 Crashed

2011-08-12 Thread Steven Alfano
To the best of my knowledge (I would like to find out I am wrong here) manually 
removing an exchange 2010 server is unsupported by MS.  It is designed to be 
done from Add/Remove programs so that everything is completely removed. Since 
you cannot do this; I would strongly recommend opening up a case with MS 
support.

If you choose not to do this; most (if not all) of the components can be 
removed from ADSIEdit and from the registry on the existing server.  If you 
have multiple exchange sites this may be more complicated then my simplistic 
answer.

RE: Change Primary SMTP Address in Exchange 2010

2011-07-26 Thread Steven Alfano
If an address policy is set up correctly then changes to last name should 
reflect in SMTP addresses automatically, possibly only requiring a refresh of a 
policy.

Changes to Primary SMTP are done from within Exchange Management Console (or 
shell). In the console it is done by selecting a mailbox from recipients; 
selecting E-Mail Addresses tab and making appropriate changes.  If you wish to 
change a primary SMTP and this goes against policy; remember to uncheck box for 
an automatic update on e-mail policy.  From the shell it is necessary to turn 
off policy make changes and turn policy back on (if desired)

Set-Mailbox -Identity Alias_Name -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled:$False
Set-Mailbox -Identity Alias_Name-EmailAddresses Primary, 
Secondary,Secondary
Set-Mailbox -Identity Alias_Name-EmailAddressPolicyEnabled:$FTrue

For EmailAddresses you will need to list all addresses that are required 
separating each by a comma however if you decide to enable email policy it will 
add/overwrite addresses as policy dictates.

Be cautioned if you decide to abandon email address policy for a user or set of 
users; this may come back to haunt you later should you need to update the 
policy for all users.

If you wish to you can get a list of names and aliases of all mailboxes that 
don't have an email policy enabled.

Get-Mailbox -Filter {EmailAddressPolicyEnabled -eq $False} -ResultSize 
Unlimited | Select-Object Name, Alias | Export-csv 
MailboxesWithoutEmailPolicy.csv

These commands apply to Exchange 2007 and I am pretty sure will be the same in 
2010

Subject: Change Primary SMTP Address in Exchange 2010

Sometimes I need to change primary SMTP addresses when employees change their 
names, or when my default Policies don't seem to be working quite rights. And 
since we are still on both 2003 and 2010 I am not going to mess with policies 
at the moment.

In 2003 ADUC I can simply set another SMTP address as Primary.

I have not been able to find out how or where to do this in either 2010 RSAT or 
Exchange 2010.  What do I need to do?  For the one user today, I did change his 
SMTP in the 2003 ADUC but I know that messing with 2010 objects in 2003 can be 
a problem so I don't want to be doing that very often.

RE: Database growth.

2011-04-13 Thread Steven Alfano
We have about 2,400 mailboxes and see a growth of about 10 GB / week.  The 
amount of mailboxes has been stagnant for the past 2 years so we consider this 
normal growth.  We do have limits and see a typical pattern of 10 % of the 
mailboxes occupying almost 50% of the space.

RE: Ex2k10 SP1 schema update

2011-04-12 Thread Steven Alfano
From the information I know you will need to upgrade to SP2/3 eventually if 
you wish co-existence with Exchange 2010.   The schema change made into your 
Forest/domain by running Exchange 2010 setup on a 64 bit DC may or may not 
impact your current Exchange 2007 SP1 installation but why take the chance.   
Be careful about Exchange SP upgrades in 2007 if you have high availability 
(SCR CCR) database servers; there are very well documented procedures for 
putting on SP's and you need to follow them if you wish to avoid data loss.

I have heard that it is advantageous to run 2007 SP3 when using Exchange 2010 
but have yet to find out exactly why.  If you are upgrading anyway I have found 
SP3 to be stable in our environment. Please be sure to put on the latest rollup 
and also run OS updates too.

Subject: Ex2k10 SP1 schema update

All, we are looking to update AD with Exchange 2k10 SP1 schema. We have already 
performed the R2 schema update followed by the Ex2k7 SP2 schema update so the 
rangeupper attribute of ms-exch-schema-version-pt is 14622 (same as Ex2k10 RTM) 
last year. Theres currently a mix of Ex2k3 and Ex2k7 servers in the Exch org.

Questions:
a. if we currently have Exchange 2k7 SP1 servers, before we extend the Ex2k10 
SP1 schema we will need to bring all fo them up to at least SP2 level (SP3 is 
preferred but according to this article SP2 seems th minimum requirement for 
coexistence, correct? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638158.aspx

b. Any adverse effect bringing the schema directly from 14622 to 14726 (EX2k10 
SP1) without updating it to Ex2k7 SP3 first? Will this affect existing Ex2k7 
SP1 servers later on when they need to update Exchange 2k7 ? I understand 
schema update  updating Exchange versions are two separate beasts but want to 
confirm.

Brian Desmond has summed it up well here, basically saying that unless all 
Ex2k7/Ex2k3 servers are removed there wont be any problems adding new nodes in. 
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/d60ea3f9-9e38-4725-a08c-eb06cb099937/

 There are four parts

Please note that this article is referring to Exchange RTM and Server 2008 R2

With regard to your question below, sounding a bit obtuse, it depends on what

separate URL's.  If there is a partial failure (of database servers) then there 
are ways to utilize front end servers (which I recommend) like TMG or F5 to 
handle redirection to separate CAS arrays.

Getting information from sources like this is a good first step. Partnering 
with other professionals (both formal and informal) is the next logical choice. 
 Planning for failover scenarios in a multi site organization, while not 
extremely complicated, is a process that starts with clearly outlined goals.  I 
cannot stress enough the importance of having a clear objective prior to 
architecting a solution.

Subject: **PHISHING?** RE: Questions about DAG's (Database Availability Groups) 
in exchange 2010

Hi All

How do you cope with the scenario for external users, where by access to point 
A webmail.companyname.org in the US is unavailable and Outlook anywhere users 
need to connect instead to Access Point B owa.companyname.com in the UK.  
Apart from manually updating DNS entries for webmail.companyname.org to point 
at access point B. is there some way of setting up DNS or some kind of failover 
to automate this process?

We are running Outlook versions 2007 and 2010.  The DNS entries for 
Autodiscover would presumably need to be updated as well to point at the 
temporary access point unless this can be automated in some way.

regards

 FailBACK (which is actually referred to as a switchover) is a manual 
 process.

That applies to mailbox servers.

HT/CAS - depends on your topology. Generally, you don't break existing 
connections except by manual effort.

Hi

Thank you for all  your replies.  This has given me a better understanding of 
what is expected to happen.

One more question though.  (For the moment)

When an exchange server fails and all the clients reconnect to another exchange 
server.  What happens when the original exchange server becomes available 
again?  Do the Outlook clients automatically change back to using their 
original Exchange server?  Or do they just continue to connect to the server 
that they have been connected to whilst their (home) server was off line?

I am just thinking about our circumstances where we have one exchange server in 
the UK and one In the US. It would seem illogical for the clients to continue 
to connect to a server in the US if the one in our office became available 
again after a failure.  And vice versa should a failure occur on the US server.

I saw see it says, I need 
autodiscover.yourdomain.comhttp://autodiscover.yourdomain.com

Do I need to use When using the auto-discover service, include an entry for 
auto-discover. Auto-discover with Exchange automatically uses auto 
discover.yourdomain.comhttp://discover.yourdomain.com  or would simply just 
having mail.your-domain.comhttp://mail.your-domain.com be enough.
Also does outlook offline address-book use auto discover. If auto discover cert 
doe not exist or the cname, does it cause a problem?
