Having some problems with an Exchange user. We are running Exchange 2007, with
the all updates. The day started out by this user (our CEO of course) not being
able to login to Outlook at home using Outlook Anywhere. Next we tried OWA,
which gave an error saying it couldn't open the mailbox.

Coming in through VPN? Looks like http is coming through okay, could it
be a firewall issue on his home system blocking email?

I've seen OWA issues when any of these are true:
1. The domain account was not completely configured correctly. For example,
UPN field was not populated.
2. When I checked the mailbox in PowerShell, it said it was a LegacyMailbox

is due with our baby boy in 3 weeks, but she is calling saying she is having
contractions. So far, they are about 10 -15 minutes apart.
This all started last night while he was trying to use Outlook anywhere. Today
Forget about Outlook anywhere and go be with your wife :-).

Any chance there's a corrupted email in his Inbox causing this?
I've seen more than one case of a corrupted email making Outlook go wobbly but

Thanks, I will be. The doctor says not to come in until the contractions are 3
minutes apart. I am 10 minutes from home and home is 1 minute from the
hospital. So far, she is OK and relaxing now. I am more nervous about it then
she is.

LOL, well, make sure the contractions aren't Braxton Hicks contractions
before you go.
Try changing his password, give it time to replicate then try again.
And try the breathing techniques etc you've learned. Calm down, take a deep
breath, exhale. Repeat as necessary. ;)

My son was a month early. So 3 weeks doesn't sound that crazy.
Could he be being prompted for a network share? PST on an inaccessible
network drive, could cause constant prompting.
Otherwise, I'd double check the associated external account properties for
the account.

I ran the command you mentioned and the LinkMasterAccount is blank. I checked
others, and they were blank.
I setup a Outlook profile on a blank machine, no shares, or pst files.

My wife is a midwife - her advice when contractions are at this point is
to either have a hot bath or enjoy a glass of wine. If labor stops, she
should try to sleep.
Good luck!

As part of our document retention policy project, two huge changes are being
mandated by our legal department.
1) Emails may not be retained past 365 days.
2) PST files may no longer be used.
Emails are NOT supposed to be used for any documentation that should be
retained beyond
First thing that comes to my mind is IT shouldn't have to be the one giving
out the news, let the legal dept. tell them. For one thing, IT is likely to
hear less screaming about it.

of them support the hunting down and imbibing of at least network

I found out two things on our kids...
First, the wife got an urge to clean the whole house top to bottom a few
days before.
Second, the baby stopped moving all day long the day before it was born.
This happened on both ours...

Check that the inherit permissions in the security tab has not been unchecked

So have I. Mostly they seem to be caused by permission inheritance getting

I haven't run into this issue before, and from this article it makes it sound
like adminsdholder would apply mainly for inheriting specific AD permissions
(not affecting default perms on a mailbox).

Ms. Abercrombie is right. Legal needs to announce this. Then after wards you
announce the time line and the steps IT is going to follow to comply with
