Thanks, tried that though and when I get to the adding account part, I try to add a gmail acc. and I get this messagequote:Outlook Web App couldn't connect to the server for your other account. Please click the Back button and make sure that you entered your e-mail address and password correctly.

Gmail supports checking multiple accounts under Settings > Accounts and Import > Check mail from other accounts (POP3). Just have gmail check and download w/ delete.

Crosspost from the poo poo that pisses you off thread. Anyone have any ideas on this? Does anyone else have issues with incoming emails getting bounced back before even hitting their mail server? We have our MX records setup with weighted values, with our Primary IP for our mailserver being the preferred, then our backup IP being lower on the totem pole. We have no issues with any mail except for AOL mail. Incoming email from AOL will either randomly work or bounce back. If it bounces back, it won't even hit our servers, gets caught with the MX records. They seem to completely ignore weighted values in MX records, and randomly pick where to route to. Thus when going to our backup line (which isn't active unless our primary goes down), they will fail. Anyone else have this issue? We currently have been telling people to use something other than AOL (most of these people are loving attorneys, get off AOL email), but if there is something I could change so it doesn't come up 3 times a week, that would work just as well.

Can you just can the backup MX record for now, and add it back in in the event that your primary is down?

The way it is setup now, I don't even notice if we failover to our backup connection (our firewall will do it automatically, and flip back when the primary is back online). There probably is a setting to notify me of it on the SonicWall, but normally I would not care. Also having to worry about changing MX records in the middle of the night if the connection goes down would be a pain in the rear end.

How's your reverse DNS? I seem to recall AOL being super picky about that.

If I recall correctly we need to work with our ISP on that, correct? Our DNS and MX records were recently setup by my bosses super smart DNS expert consultant (friend), and I think he did a pretty good job, but I vaguely remember them saying they needed to work with our ISP for reverse DNS. I'll ask if if they just gave up on that, or are planning on revisiting it. Edit: I don't have much experience setting up DNS/MX records past anything basic, so if my response seems idiotic, feel free to point it out.

Just call your ISP and tell them you need to have a reverse pointer set up for your domain. In most of my clients cases, this is mail.domainname.com, pointing to the outside IP address of your Exchange server. Most every ISP I have ever dealt with will do this with little to no issue. The only guys I have ever encountered that did not do this is this lovely Satellite provider for one of my clients in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

I know MailArchiva was mentioned earlier on this thread, but not much discussion seemed to ensue. Does anybody have any experience with using either the open-source or enterprise version for simple external Exchange journaling? We need to get something in place for email discovery that won't cause our nightly Exchange backup to explode, so using a traditional Exchange '10 journaling account is out of the question. The Enterprise version is about half the price of a Barracuda Mail Archiver, and I have a spare server sitting here. I've already got the OSE set up in a VM for testing, it seems to work as desired. The software seems great, I'm just wondering how stable this is going to be with hundreds of gigabytes of email down the road. The open-source community behind this seems kind of dead, which really worries me when it comes to something so user-friendly that normally seems to warrant an enthusiastic userbase. babies havin rabies fucked around with this message at 16:20 on May 16, 2012 |

Seriously, shoot me. Let me start by saying that all I know about exchange 2003 is from googling and "experience" (not much). A lot of emails are being bounced back today, saying that we've been blacklisted. I logged into our mail server to see this: If I open one of those queues, for exmaple the one for zwallet.com that has 377 messages, they're all like this: What the gently caress do I do? I've quickly "frozen" all suspicious connections, but how do I trace this down to stop it from submitting more poo poo?

Relaying wasn't it. I looked through the security logs and thankfully these emails were all sent outside business hours, so it was easy to find the activity. There was an AD account called "tech" with a loving password of "password". I blew that account out without even asking. 40000+ emails deleted later.....

I was going to say, the smtp logs will tell you quick if it's from an authenticated account relaying or if it's just an open relay. Always the first conclusion you should reach when you see this. Also shivering at the thought of using anything besides powershell to deal with 40,000 messages.

LmaoTheKid posted:can't speak to that specific migration path as I did Ex 2k3 -> 2010 directly but I'd leave the old server in place for a while to make sure everything is peachy before decommissioning it. because it's SBS I can't just leave parts of the server though (or so I'm told). if I want to make the 2008r2 server the primary dc I have to completely decommission the SBS.

Wait, what? First of all Primary/Secondary roles for DCs aren't really a thing anymore. The only thing that is unique to one dc is your FSMO roles and global catalogs (which I always make my DCs GC). I don't see why you can't leave the old SBS server up for a day or two after you've done the transition. Is SBS really that restrictive?

You have something like 3 weeks to have two SBS machines running on the same domain before one of them will start shutting down every few hours. Or if you want to go outside of official support channels, forever: http://www.bursky.net/index.php/2012/02/disable-sbs-migration-grace-period-expiration/

SBS2011 comes with a tool to extend the time out beyond the default, and I think SBS2008 did the same thing. But yes, SBS has very cheap licensing, and this is one of the things that is restricted because of that.

Hi all. I have a production environment with an Exchange 2007 implementation, 1 CAS/HUB server and a Exchange 2010 environment in implementation, with 3 CAS/HUB servers and 4 mailbox servers. What would be the best way in the interim to configure SMTP traffic to flow back and forth from the production environment to the 2010 environment, leaving the production environment configured the way it is for now (mail flows from smarthost to 2007 CAS server) ? The project plan is to have both environments running in parallel, conduct trials and gain acceptance to migrate users and services. It's been years since I've done 2003 and lately I've been more tied up with project management and running the business. I've had to pick up on this project due to a resource failing to clear a NRC background check, so I apologize for the ignorance.

So I'm working at a place with a very small IT dept- Two of us handle around 350 computers and another guy handles IMB iSeries stuff. So none of us are exchange experts or have a lot of time to devote to it right now until we hire a new guy. Recently a bunch of our Outlook 03 users have been getting the "retrieving data" message. We run Exchange 03 and this problem is specific to Outlook 03 users. They're already running cache mode, no extra add-ins and no obscenely large mailboxes . There should be no connectivity issues- We did upgrade our core switch recently but these problems started being reported late enough after that upgrade that I'd be hesitant to blame that. We tried to run the various exchange analyzer tools, but none of the newer versions work on server 2k apparently. Any pointers?

How many items are in the Inbox / Sent / Calendar / Contacts for those users? I find a lot of times that error is due to number of emails, not size of mailbox. Check this out - http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2005/03/14/395229.aspx

R-Type posted:This deployment is within the same organization / domain as the 2007 exchange environment. Same mail domain as well? If so I'm not sure what your goal is. If you want, the Exchange 2007 organization can receive mail for mailboxes that reside on a 2010 mailbox server. So this doesn't really impact inbound messages from a smarthost. If you migrate a user to the 2010 side and mail flows into a HT server on the 2007 side, it will route the message correctly. If you want to redefine outbound messages, then for the Exchange 2007 side read up on message routing and routing groups: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232209%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx For the 2010 side, it basically just looks for HT servers in the AD site.

Yes, it is set up so cache mode is enabled when the accounts are set up. I double-checked the individual users citing problems and they all have cache enabled. We will check the connections again after we have people archive and delete their poo poo if that doesn't fix it. We didn't consider that because things are supposed to auto-archive past a certain point but the one guy I checked had massive amounts of e-mail so welp.

I'm currently testing ActiveSync security policies with different mobile phones and tablets. I just can't get OWA or Exchange Management Console to show the recovery password for any of my devices. I was wondering could the reason behind this be that i have specified that a machine will be wiped after 10 times of wrong codes? Does the recovery password only show if wipe is not configured?

When she says "contacts" she probably means the contents of her nk2 file on her PC. Basically the auto-complete cache. says she has no actual contacts.
