Re: Splitting off a group of users to a separate domain, but still have access to email

Yes, you can have users in one forest, and Exchange mailbox in another. In brief, you probably want to: * Create a domain trust (you didn't mention if this is interforest or intraforest... the resource domain with the Exchange mailbox must trust the domain that contains the active user account) *

Hmmm, what I took away from that thread is that the 'strings' approach failed to produce useful output for any respondents, whereas ExMon turned up all sorts of potentially useful stuff including the source of 'Log Bytes'. Being familiar with 'strings' and having a vague notion of what might be lu

I'd suggest going with a format that's unambiguous, and readily accepted by both .NET and SQL: "dd-MMM-"; e.g., "30-JAN-2012". This is my date format of choice for systems and for communicating with an international audience. --Steve On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 10:18 AM, Sobey, Richard A wrote:

Re: AD site for Exchange 2010

2012-01-30 Thread Steve Kradel
Yes, AD and things that depend on AD will generally do fine with one site and no subnet mappings at all. Once there are two or more sites, you must map every client to a site via ADS&S or things will start to go off the rails. Go ahead and create a second, larger subnet for the site, wait a decen

Cross-posting this from the ActiveDir list: this tool may be of interest to folks with non-AD directories, maybe you just don't like ldifde, or want to pipe LDIF from stdout to another program. I went ahead and knocked out a quick and dirty .NET LdapSearch. Source code is on GitHub: https://github

Agreed -- AD does not store the last time a user logged on interactively to a particular computer (and even if it did, XML would not have any place in extracting that information). System Center or the like could help aggregate these data, it is probably available from the on-machine Event Logs, o

You could simply use OldCmp for what you describe -- but it tells you if the computers themselves are logging in to the network, not if users are logging in on those computers. http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/oldcmp/ --Steve On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 3:14 PM, John Matteson wrote: > Rob >

Mailbox security changes do not replicate urgently; the mailbox security descriptor is just an ordinary attribute as far as AD is concerned. The default intersite replication interval is still a comical 180 minutes, although most orgs reduce it to the 15-minute minimum that the GUI will allow. Ho
