I found out recently that a user with an Android phone is using TouchDown to sync with his Exchange 2003 account. What's the best way of blocking this?
I've been trying to get some information about the MAPI plugin for Evolution - but it all seems to in pieces everywhere, and also mostly a couple of years old.
Anyone had any experience with getting Evolution connecting to MS Exchange via MAPI? Unfortunately, any other connection method (IMAP or WebDAV) is not an option - either because of not being allowed or just unusable.
I seem to have the most unideal server setup so here we go:
Situation: 1 Server (2008 Std), Exchange 2010 (CAS + HUB) and Sharepoint Services 3.0 installed on it.
Mission: To get OWA working at: mail.systems.com and Sharepoint at, intranet.systems.net
Execution: you tell me how, becuase I do not know where to start :(

Over the weekend our Exchange server was blasted with emails. Using recipient policies in the mailbox manager, how do I remove emails that are in the inbox, but coming from a specific sender (or maybe containing a specific subject?). Perhaps someone has some suggestions for another route to take aside from recipient policies, but that will affectively achieve the same end goal? Any help is much appreciated.
This is another question in a short series regarding a challenging Exchange project my co-workers have been asked to implement. (I'm helping even though I'm primarily a Unix guy because I volunteered to learn powershell and implement as much of the project in code as I could.)
Background:
We have been asked to create many distribution groups, say about 500+. These groups will contain two types of members. (Apologies if I get these terms wrong.) One type will be internal AD users, and the other type will be external users that I create Mail Contact entries for.
We have been asked to make it so that a "Reply All" is not possible to any messages sent to these groups. I don't believe that is 100% possible to enforce for the following reasons. My question is - is my following reasoning sound? If not, please feel free to educate me on if / how things can properly be implemeneted. Thanks!
My reasoning on why it's impossible to prevent 100% of potential reply-all actions:
An interal AD user could put the DL in their To: field. They then click the '+' to expand the group. The group contains two external mail contacts. The message is sent to everyone, including those external contacts. External user #1 decides to reply-all, and his mail goes to, at least, external user #2, which wouldn't even involve our Exchange mail relays.
An internal AD user could place the DL in their Outlook To: field, then click the '+' button to expand the DL. They then fire off an email to everyone that was in the group. (But the individual addresses are listed in the 'To:' field.) Because we now have a message sent to multiple recipients in the To: field, the addresses have been "exposed", and anyone is free to reply-all, and the messages just get sent to everyone in the To: field. Even if we try to set a Reply-To: field for all of these DLs, external mail clients are not obligated to abide by it, or force users to abide by it.
Are my two points above valid? (I admit, they are somewhat similar.) Am I correct to tell our leadership "It is not possible to prevent 100% of the cases where someone will want to Reply-All to these groups UNLESS we train the users sending emails to these groups that the Bcc: field is to be used at all times."
I am dying for any insight or parts of the equation I'm not seeing clearly. Thank you!!!
Hi,
At work I have EXCHANGE Server, so I am getting emails (Work related). I wanted to add my personal email (POP or IMAP) and get those emails too.
I am afraid that if i do that, my work can still have access to my personal emails? and they will see if I send or receive emails.
Any suggestions?
Sometimes it is useful to have e-mail address like [email protected], where randomnumber identifies the conversation between a robot such as a mailing list server and a user. Is this possible with Microsoft Exchange?
I can't connect to the instance of exchange server 2010 through EMC on the local machine running w2k8 r2. I've checked all the default website bindings, the kerberos auth and WSMan are set to native type in powershell and I still get this error message.
Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message:
The WS-Management service does not
support the request.
It was running the command 'Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true -suppresserror $true'
Hi,
We have a specific requirement for a solution that will scan an Exchange 2003 store for specific content. eg - specific words, phrases and, ideally, images. Can anyone suggest a solution?
TIA
Our organisation has decided it needs to have a standard signature block for all users based on their name, job title, contact details and office location, all of which are stored in Active Directory.
Has anyone found a neat solution for automatically generating Outlook/Exchange 2003 signatures based on Active Directory fields?
I am trying to setup an Exchange account in the Mail application on Snow Leopard. I've set it up on my iPhone and it works perfectly. However, I am unable to do so in the Mail app. I've entered all identical information, but to no avail.
What troubleshooting steps can i take?
We are using Exchange 2010. I would like to retrieve a list of total sent emails and received emails from all users in the work place. The list should have all the users' names, then total of sent and received emails.
I have tried the code below and tried to change this to no avail.
Get-MessageTrackingLog -Recipients [email protected] -start “10/22/2011 00:00:00” -end “11/21/2011 11:59:00” -EventId "receive" | measure-object
Get-MessageTrackingLog -sender [email protected] -start “10/22/2011 00:00:00” -end “11/21/2011 11:59:00” -EventId "send" | measure-object
My organisation has Exchange 2007 e-mail server, and now, we want to host e-mail service for other organisation (neworg.com)
I added new Authoritative Active Domain neworg.com, but when adding a new mailbox, there is no option to chose new SMTP domain name neworg.com, and I can't add new user with SMTP domain [email protected].
Probably I misunderstood something while reading posts on Internet, but can someone help please?
In a small three-user environment running Outlook 2007 on Exchange 2010, all users previously just used one user's calendar as their main calendar. New employee #4 has been set up with his own calendar per the owner's request, they use colored categories for their calendar events, and his categorized activities are not showing up as colored on the other users' Outlook calendars - only his own. What settings should I look at to enable the correct color coding again?
Sorry for the potentially ridiculous question.
Is there some sort of hack or work-around to upgrade OWA to 2007 while using Exchange 2003? If not, are there any ways to improve the default layout / skin? Maybe Greasemonkey scripts?
I want to do following things:
If recipient address not exist in exchange ,redirect to [email protected]
If recipient address meet specific pattern , redirect to [email protected]
Thank in advance!
We're looking at possibly upgrading to Exchange 2010. Just wondering that if many other companies have done so, and if so, what the compelling features were for them in order to upgrade
I have a large Exchange server with many hundreds of thousands of emails in thousands of folders.
I would like to generate a list of how many emails have been sent, by user, for a subset of the public folders.
If I could run SQL against the server (can I?), I would like to run a query along the lines of:
SELECT from, count(*)
FROM emails
WHERE email_is_in_folder_or_descendents('Public Folders/Customers/XYZ')
GROUP BY from
Is this possible?
I have full administrator access to the server.
In the company we are using an unix server for emails at the moment.
We are switching over to Microsoft Exchange Server.
How can I configure it to send a copy of each message posted into my inbox to a the backup SMTP server at a specific IP?
I am moving about 500 users from FirstClass to Exchange; however, we cannot move everyone at once and would like to do so in waves of 100 users. Is there a way to route mail to different servers based on email alias?
So you want to introduce agile methods to your team...
The following are some "lessons learned" when from someone who advocated agile/scrum to a group that was not ready for it.
"Change agents, in my experience, face negative consequences. Sometimes, most of the time at the beginning, it's painful.
This is the question you might have to ask yourself. Do you want to be a developer in scrum project or do you want be a scrum master managing the process?
I think with proper mentoring/training, you can become good scrum master. But is that what you want? if yes, you can go ahead, take the training.
if you want to be a developer, you may not need to be certified as scrum master. You can just pick up from a book such as Mike Cohn new book Succeeding with Agile, I am reading it now. It's good.
In my experience, I did waste my resources by trying to change the culture. It cost me lot. Instead, I should have focused on technical practices that are core to agile.
Then look for teams that are good at agile. I would have saved lot of energy, and time.
Try baby steps first yourself in the company, and next with the team, starting with technical practices like writing unit tests, SOLID principles, patterns, refactoring, continuous integration, pairing, and peer code reviews. These have inherent pull that can bring collaboration from a team. Once you see team adaption in core practices, then you can introduce scrum concepts like user stories/task board etc. This idea of Leading by example seems to be working for most of the agile folks. You can pitch core practices to the manager, and the team, and start showing them how you are doing. You can put a road map for agile adaption and you can pitch to your manager. I would include need for scrum master training as part of the road map. "
I thought about his advice for a couple of weeks and read about the pitfalls of technical debt and the team not having prior awareness of agile methods. The more I read and think about it the more I think he was right. What do you think?
I have a need to create a new Exchange public folder, as a sub folder to a folder that I'm already the owner of.
When ever I try (from Outlook 2007) to create a new public folder, I'm told I don't have persmission.
Outlook doesn't let me view the permissions of this folder, however it lets me view permissions of other folders that I'm owner of. Both ESM and PFDAVAdmin both report that my regular (i.e. non domain admin account) is the owner of the folder.
Our set up is as follows: Exchange 2003 running on Server 2003, Windows 2008 R2 domain. Windows XP Desktop, Outlook 2007. Everything fully patched.
What am I doing wrong?
There is a known issue with Outlook and Exchange where "secondary" mailboxes which are mounted in the same profile, e.g. "John Doe" + CorpMailbox1, CorpMailbox2, CorpMailbox3 will place "sent items" from the secondary mailboxes (e.g. CorpMailbox1) in the user's (e.g. "John Doe") Sent Items folder.
There is a registry value (something like DelegateSentItems) to semi-fix this, but I'm looking for an Exchange-side solution.
It seems like, at some point, an admin made CC rules to fix this, and for the mailboxes where I see a BCC rule: any item sent to [address] BCC to [address].
The behavior "fixes" the issue, but when I duplicate this work-around for new shared mailboxes, the email ends up in the Inbox and not the Sent Items for the shared mailbox.
I don't believe there is any outlook/client-side shenanigans going on, as the intended behavior for the older mailboxes works for new PCs/Users (new imagse) without any Outlook Mailbox Rules.
We have a little Exchange/Outlook installation here that fetches the mails from our provider with POP3.
Now to be able to send emails outside our organisation, I added another SMTP address to the Exchange User:
[email protected] (Default / Reply Address)
[email protected]
Sending email works using the default address. But now there is an error message each time we start Outlook.
Outlook tries to autodiscover using autodiscover.ourcompany.com which doesn't exist. Our autodiscover files are placed on our local server. I think all the servers are discovers, because everything works as expected. Everything except the error message on each Outlook start. (The error message is actually because of an invalid certificate but I don't see why Outlook should contact an external host at all!)
So how can I solve this?
Forcing Autodiscover on every Outlook client to use the local hosts? Or ist there an even better way?
