The problem can be solved by changing the IP address of the Exchange 2010 server on the ... Read more

Service Pack 3 for Exchange 2010 has been released. The SP3 was probably most eagerly awaited for the migration or coexistence with Exchange 2013. However, we still have to wait for the CU1 for Exchange 2013. The SP3 can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=36768 The CU1 for Exchange 2013 is also expected this quarter. So still ... Read more

Michel has kindly put the hardware configuration for the UTM online on his blog: http://networkguy.de/?p=269 I have the same hardware except for the SSD. My ... Read more
The Exchange Team Blog has published 2 nice articles about the new Exchange architecture: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/01/25/exchange-2013-client-access-server-role.aspx and http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/01/23/exchange-2013-server-role-architecture.aspx Both articles are well worth reading in my opinion. Currently the SP3 for Exchange 2010 is eagerly awaited so that the migrations can finally start. Unfortunately, there is still no news on when the service pack will be released. The date ...

Sometimes users complain that they have not received a certain e-mail. There can be many reasons for this. From time to time, junk mail rules configured by the user are also the reason. Fortunately, in addition to the mailbox rules, the junk mail rules can also be managed from the management shell. To view the rules ... Read more
Today I came across a rather interesting archiving software. The software archives mails from the Exchange Server, is also compatible according to the manufacturer, but cannot handle a journal mailbox. The software has to access the users' mailboxes via POP or IMAP and requires read and write access to the users' mailboxes. The manufacturer of the software ... Read more
Overlong file paths can become a problem during migrations and backup/restore processes. A file path must not normally be longer than 260 characters. However, sometimes this limit is exceeded. This small Powershell script can be used to identify such long paths: #Directory or volume to be checked: $Directory = "D:\Shares" #PPath to CSV file for ... Read more
The following script can be used to determine all users with Active Sync devices. The data is then written to a CSV file. #Ppath to the CSV file for the export $exportfile = "c:\export.csv" #Name of a mailbox database or "all" to capture all mailbox databases $database = "all" #--------------------- "User;Type;Serial number;Status" | set-content "$exportfile" if ($database -eq "all") ...
