I thought I would share some code I wrote for doing bulk mailbox cleanups on Exchange 2003 for cross-organizational mailbox moves. This code is nearly identical to that in my previous post , but this one takes an input file to process several mailboxes

There is no primary SMTP address

Although the mailbox was moved to the target Microsoft Exchange server, an error occurred while the policies were being applied. Proxy address policies, Unified Messaging settings, managed content settings, and Exchange ActiveSync settings may not be set correctly. There is no primary SMTP address.

More Exchange SLA Scorecard Woes

A few months ago, I wrote about some issues I was having getting the Exchange SLA Scorecard for MOM implemented with one of my federated customers. At the time, of course, the issue was compatibility with SQL Server 2005 . I am being put in the unfortunate

Understanding Your Exchange Users' Requirements

How well do you understand the needs and requirements of your end users? Everytime I ask this, I get the same response: "Fully." When I ask about conducting an email survey, it usually falls in deaf ears, because IT folks feel it is a waste of time to

The Centralized Mailbox Micro-manager and Control Problem in Federations

I am working with a politically federated customer inside a single domain. So far, they've taken Microsoft's recommendations quite well regarding delegation and centralization, but they are running into a problem that I feel is worth sharing. Email is

Exchange SLA Scorecard Woes

"Always read the release notes." That's all fine and dandy when the release notes are clear about what is and what will never be. The release notes for the Exchange 2003 SLA Scorecard for MOM 2005 Reporting Services state that SQL Server 2000 with SP3

Why can't we all share Free Busy Information?

One of the issues that came up recently with a federated customer of mine was how they were going to manage the address list needs of 30 different departments. To centralize it would prove futile, as that group would undoubtedly become unresponsive, yet
