Hi folks, one of our frequent contributors to this forum in the past went by the handle Wahnula. His real name was Tony LaRue. I just got a note from Tony's wife letting me know that he'd recently died. He was a great and cheerful contributor in this particular forum and I wanted to post this in...

If I want to allow an internal workstation to be able to use an IPSEC Juniper VPN client to an external host, what do I need to get set up? I've already allowed PPTP and L2TP inspections, but this still isn't working. Currently I have outside PPTP connections allowed inbound to a Windows...

I'm putting together a two-server solution for a 200-user client with multiple geographic locations, and I want to implement DAG HA. I've purchased Windows 2008 Enterprise and Exchange 2010 Standard for both servers, and I'm currently planning on buying a Kemp LM2000. But I haven't really been...

Hey, do you have to buy Windows 2008 Standard to host a CAS-only Exchange role, or can you use the Windows 2008 Web Server version of Server 2008? It's half the price, and it makes sense that you could use it, since CAS is completely web-based, but I wanted to check and see if anyone knows of...

Ok, I need another pair of eyes here. A mailbox database called Mbox4 from a storage group called SG4 is restored to an RSG. In the RSG it's known as Mbox4, naturally. Now I'm trying to merge the contents of one user in the mounted db into that same users mailbox on the production db. Here's...

What are you guys using for store-scanning AV? I've been using Symantec, but would like to see what other people are doing, and whether there are any decent comparative reviews out there. Dave Shackelford ThirdTier.net

Ok, I've been telling people that they should schedule an "ExportEdgeConfig.ps1" script to fire off every couple of weeks to capture changes to their environment and make sure that their edge is recoverable. But I can't get my script to work so far. Here's what I've got right now: powershell...

So what's the experience like with BES? It's existed during migrations I've done and I've never noticed it having a problem, but I'm getting involved with a new project in which the local sysadmins are saying that there are going to be all sorts of issues, having read about them. Since BES...

Ok answer mans... Answer me this: I've stood up another E2003 server at a new site that's connected to the original site via VPN. I need to migrate at least half the mailboxes on this server over to the other site's server. The current database is about 73gb, and I'd say I need to move at least...

Ok, here's the scenario: 1 CAS-only server - CASSVR 1 CAS/mbox server - MBOX 1 2003 Mailbox server - E2003 If I connect to CASSVR with the /EXCHANGE path, I can open up mailboxes that are on the E2003 server, but if I try and access a mailbox on the MBOX server, after I authenticate, I get an...

I met someone last week who asked me what I thought of their proposed E2007 architecture, and I had mixed feelings so I thought I'd get some other opinions: Environment is set up to serve 300-500 mailboxes. Single quad processor server with 18gb of ram. Running Hyper-V Core on mirrored SATA...

Company has 4 distribution lists. They don’t want normal users to be able to see these lists in Outlook/Exchange. Sure, users could go through the GAL and select all users or a large group, but they don’t want to make it easy for users to “spam” these specific DLs. How would you go about...

If I've put together a single-server OWA environment, no FE/BE, and then I add another Exchange 2003 server to the organization and move half the mailboxes to it, will OWA users be able to access their mailboxes irregardless of the server that their mailbox is homed on? Or is there something...

I've come in to a partially complete coexistence setup in which an E2007 server has been added to an existing E2003 organization that has a FE/BE arrangement. The intention is to migrate all mailboxes to the new server, once we've tested difference scenarios and know that things are working...

Best current guess for the release date is September 2008. SBS 2008 is ONLY available on 64-bit hardware. There is no direct upgrade path from SBS 2003, due to the hardware issues. SBS 2008 can take advantage of LARGE amounts of RAM... 4gb to 24gb won't be unusual over the next few years...

I had to do a manual removal of Exchange 2003 a couple of days ago, and I didn't do a great job. I removed the stuff from the registry and AD (using Sites and Services and ADSIEdit) before I actually disabled the mailboxes, so that screwed things up. But I used ADSIEdit to delete the server and...

I've set up a test server for one project and have created several custom managed folders, but they do not appear in Outlook or OWA, even though I've configured the Managed Folders Assistant service to run 23 hours a day and have manually initiated folder management tasks using the cmdlet. Does...

I'm trying to do a demo of some different Exchange 2007 backup solutions, and I need to be able to add additional drive letters to a VM. Right now any VMs I build only have a single C: drive. Is there a simple way to do this? Maybe to add a share on another server as a mount point or something...

I recently aquired a small client who was sold an SBS Server and a Windows Storage Server last winter. The Storage Server is hardly utilized. They want to deploy LCS 2005 with archiving, and I'd like to put SQL and LCS 2005 on the Storage Server rather than the SBS. Am I going to run into a...

I'm trying to help someone with some orphaned messages stuck in the local delivery queue that they cannot figure out how to move. The messages were originally bound for 2 mailboxes that were corrupted (msexchange transport error 327). They fixed the mailboxes, but the messages in the queue...
