Sorry, I guess I didnt explain correctly. We want a method to automate certain user accounts to be admin's of their own local box. I am not looking to give a group of users admin access across all boxes, which GPO's obviously can handle the task.

We have a few thousand workstations we need to put into Active Directory. Do you know of any tools to help manage & automate provisioning certain user accounts to be admin's of their local box?

If anybody else needs to do this, look for HMC, which is under: http://www.microsoft.com/serviceproviders/hostingproviders.mspx

Outlook 2003 requires public folders, which are not by default installed with Exch 2007.

Sometimes its helpful to launch any Outlook 2007 anywhere. Then using the icon in the systray for OUtlook hold down the CTRL and right click it. You will then see a new option to "Test Auto-Configuration" You can uncheck the boxes for guess-smart and just check Autodiscover. Then enter your...

Thanks, but it seems those instructions are for Exchange 2000 and 2003. I have also done this in the past on Exchange 2003, but I am finding 2007 to be much different and these are not applicable. Any other ideas?

Man, This is prooving to be extremely difficult. I have dealt with multiple Microsoft Exchange team people and they even can answer this. Lets say we want to run 2 different domains on the same exchange. We have 2 users in different groups, and I have created both an independant Address List...

This should be simple, but I am not getting it. End user has email which shows sent at 1:15 pm, and claims it was received until 3 hours later. I checked the headers and am confused by the time zone. I am guessing it didnt take 3 hours to deliver, but somebody/somehwere has time zone messed...

We are running a Dell power edge 1855 dual 3.6 Ghz machine with only 1 GB of memory. We are running MS Active Directory with 130,000 objects and using 3 different machines to concurrently process about 1,000,000 LDAP lookups a day. After about a week our LDAP became qwirky..some results said...

We want to create an LDAP directory of just user names and email addresses. It seems to be easy, but I guess I am missing something. For example, I create a CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com and then an object with a test user and fill in the mail field with a fake email address. However, I think I am...

Sorry, but we are using POP and IMAP, so it was my understanding we needed the store mounted for this - so its already been mounted :( Our FE has 2 SMTP connectors, one is SSL for our POP/IMAP users when they send SMTP, and the other is for inbound SMTP from our spam machine, but also our...

Well we must have configured something wrong. We already have the SMTP connector on the FE, as its already our inbound mail. When we put just the FE connector on the bridgehead list, then all the mail leaving our BE piles up in the queue. For some reason its not transferring over to the FE to...

Currently we have 2 Exchange 2003 servers, a front end and back end. We support POP, IMAP, MAPI and rpc over http. When users logon externally and use POP/IMAP and send an email, it leaves our back end server. When users logon internally using Oulook, mail is sent out from our BE server. Is...

Only about 15 users total, so not too much traffic. The frac T1 will be for the entire office on each end. As for how I plan to implement the cluster, I havent researched more than that. DOes this sound like it wont work? I am kinda leaning towards asking the site to hire somebody more...

Plan to have each site with a fractional T1, to guarantee bandwidth. I kinda need to have it automated if one location fails, the other picks up and continues to accept mail + users can VPN and check mail via Outlook or simply with OWA
