Sometimes there are 'legitimate' reasons for things.  Like restarting
the Store service so that a bigwig can send as that brand new group you
just created for him.

I ended up working stupid hours just to get my "service" window.  Even
now some of the staff are starting to come in early to get "more" done
and making my window into a slash.  I have proposed changing my hours
again to make them even earlier just to get my window back again, so far
my boss has resisted that idea, seems he feels I am needed for desktop
support as well as every other thing.

 

Sorry this is just a very sore point for me.

I don't believe you can.

 

If you're bouncing services during business hours you have bigger
problems.

Anyone know if you can disable the Exchange server status notifications
in Outlook 2007? By that I mean the pop-ups that come up indicating that
connection to Exchange has been lost/restored etc. I am sick of doing a
quick restart of services and getting phone calls from users who
obviously have nothing better to do than stare at the status indicator
:-)
 GPO would be preferable but I have done a recce of the Office 2007
templates and can't find anything suitable...

Cheers,

Re: Outlook 2007 Exchange status notifications

[James Rankin]

yes the change management here is sloppy, but I can't change it in a day,
and I have plenty much other to do than take calls from users who are
reporting issues to me I already know about. If Exchange goes down SCOM will
tell me, I don't need users to bombard me with calls as well.

Re: Outlook 2007 Exchange status notifications

[James Rankin]

The problem I have is finding time to do the patching and troubleshooting of
Exchange out-of-hours whilst looking after my five-month old twins - and the
fact that the company won't pay me to do it outside of normal hours anyway.
I would love everything to be run in properly-scheduled outage windows, but
this company haven't (yet) subscribed to my ways of doing things.

They are not hidden by cached mode, you have to set the registry key.

[Free, Bob]

Not really hidden by cached mode. At least not for me.

 

If you shift-r-click the icon in the tray there are at least 3 local
configuration choices that are probably just reg settings on the client.
Regmon could confirm that. If they aren't in the ORK ADM templates, you
could roll your own.

 

* Show Microsoft Exchange Messages

* Show Network Warnings

* Show Network Connectivity Changes
