Dumb question - Contacts
Been a while since I've made a fool of myself* and I hate to disappoint my fans, so We're running a pretty small environment.. Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise and maybe 20 users. For years, peoples' "address book" has consisted of just using the auto-complete in Outlook 2003 (and now Outlook 2007 in some cases.) But now, I'm growing more and more concerned about that technique and would like an easy and reliable way to have a central repository of contacts that everyone can use and update. My question is, what is everyone doing? I would assume a public folder that contains contacts and then is assigned as an address book in people's Outlook configurations, but then I've also heard that public folders don't exist in E2K7, which I may upgrade to at some point, so I'm not sure how to proceed. So, is there a third party solution that people know of and use, or is it just a public folder filled with contacts?

RE: Dumb question - Contacts
I make sure to backup the nk2 files (nk2 file are where those 'auto-fills' are stored, people hate losing those), and use public folders for official shared contacts. (Our mobiles phones can access the public folders, so that's a big bonus for us). There are some utilities out there that can merge/extract info from the nk2's as well. -Sam From: Evan Brastow [mailto:ebras...@automatedemblem.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 11:58 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Dumb question - Contacts Been a while since I've made a fool of myself* and I hate to disappoint my fans, so We're running a pretty small environment..

RE: Dumb question - Contacts
Evan, don't be down on yourself, I bought 1000+ shares of our stock last July at a screaming deal, and we filed chapter 11 2 weeks ago. Foolishness is in the eyes of the beholder (In my case the wife is the beholder and she told me not to do it last year BAMMM) Depending on the number of contacts, you could create contact objects in AD and then create a custom address book that shows just the contacts. This would also have them show up in the general GAL and have them available for mobile devices. You could script this type of thing (though way easier after your upgrade to 2007). As for Public Folders, they are no longer "de-emphasized" so that solution would still technically be an option.

RE: Dumb question - Contacts
We have contact info all over the place, so you can eventually find it . We each have our own contacts in Outlook's contact folder, of which mine is probably the most extensive with regard to clients and vendors. We also have a public folder called Clients, and one called Vendors (oh, we are so original) and under these are subfolders of each client and vendor we have had email communication with. When we went to Exch2007, we just migrated everything over, and create new public folders as needed. You are definitely asking for trouble if the auto-complete is the only address book. I just gave myself a new (used really-there is no such thing as a new machine in our environment unless it is for a client) and left my *.NK2 file behind. Too many errors and useless addresses in it. Was glad to be rid of it, but now, I need to remember enough of the address for the contact search to kick in with any degree of accuracy. A couple of weeks, and I'll have a decent list from my new *.NK2 file. You'll need to get your people using their Outlook Contact folders at least-they are good for lots of things, not only e-mail addresses, but physical addresses, phone numbers, notes for that person, etc. If necessary, though I have never found it to be so, you can create a public folder of contacts as well, for those contacts that everyone needs. \\Steve// From: Evan Brastow [mailto:ebras...@automatedemblem.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 12:58 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Dumb question - Contacts Been a while since I've made a fool of myself* and I hate to disappoint my fans, so..

RE: Dumb question - Contacts
I think as long as you are upgrading from an earlier version of Exchange that had PF's you will still get PF's. Personally I think it's rather short sighted (read that as STUPID) to get rid of PF's as they are a very easy way to share information (such as this list) without having to build a completely separate infrastructure for SharePoint. But I'm just a stupid SA. Obviously the people in the vacuum at MS know better. John H.

The delete key is your friend for errors or useless addresses in your NK2 file. When a bad or obsolete address shows up in the autofill, just use the arrow key to highlight the bad one and hit the delete key. Gone until the next time you type the whole thing in.

Dumb Question about queues and notifications
E2K SP3 Native mode I’m either looking for the wrong thing or in the place, but I am trying to figure out how to receive notifications that messages are queued, being bounced, or having issues reaching their dentations. Under 5.5 this was accomplished by having notifications sent to the Postmaster mailbox. I can set up notifications,. just can’t seem to find were to do it for the queues. Is there away to do this in E2K? And speaking of queues is there an easier way to view them other than by enumerating them?

RE: dumb question regarding powershell and 2010.
You have to either specify a user (that's the identity), a server, or a database to Get-MailboxStatistics (that may have been a 2010 change, I can't remember). If you want a list of ALL mailboxes on all servers on all databases, you'd add a predicate.
