The question was recently posed on a mailing list asking whether there was any book that covered the Exchange 2003 security model in depth. The question came up for the poster because of a recent video that is making the rounds on youtube and elsewhere...

I'm in the process of tech-reviewing an important book (you'll want it on your shelf once it is released), and one of the things I did today was spend a while figuring out how to do Attribute Scoped Queries in PowerShell. If you develop in C#...

I've brought up a number of new clients on Exchange 2007 recently, and a common issue is this event log warning: Event Type: Warning Event Source: MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store Event Category: General Event ID: 1025 Date: 7/18/2008 Time: 10:26:40 AM...

In 2004, I wrote an article Why Can't I Have Outlook and Exchange on the same Computer? It applied to versions of Exchange prior to Exchange Server 2007. When written, E12 (Exchange 2007) was still quite early in development at MSFT... Today, times...

Almost everyone has, at one time or another, wished that you could have multiple copies of Outlook running at the same time. After all, opening another mailbox within Outlook doesn't give you windows toast and calendar pops, etc. The standard answer...

I was recently (ok, this morning) trying to find out about a vbscript (actually WMI) error that I was getting, with little success. However, in doing so, I found this forum posting: http://www.tutorials-win.com/WindowsServer/Services-Windows/ This irritates...

I don't often just link to another blog posting for MY blog posting, but this one deserves it. It's not new, but last year fellow Exchange MVP Glen Scales wrote a script which allows you to export large mailboxes to ANSI PSTs. It does this by...

On Exchange Server 2007, especially post service pack 1 (I ran into this problem while installing service pack 1 update rollup 2), it appears that some of the assemblies (that is, parts of the various Exchange programs) are "signed with Authenticode"...

Sorry for the dead-silence this past week...between meetings and parties and certification tests and working and talking....it was a busy time at Tech-Ed. (One of my editors is peeved at me - I missed a chapter deadline too!) :-( So, I'm just going...

Later this afternoon I'll be hopping in my car and heading for the airport to travel to Orlando for Tech-Ed 2008 IT Pro . I'll be part of "ask the experts". I signed up for Exchange and PowerShell - somehow I ended up in Server 2008...

One of the mailing lists I read and occaisionally post on is named ActiveDir. A lot of heavy-hitters in the AD world hang-out around there. I've learned quite a bit by lurking there. A recent poster had wanted to create a few thousand accounts for...

Exchange has caught a lot of crap for publishing the fact that it doesn't work in branch office locations where only Windows Server 2008 read-only domain controllers (RODCs) are available. Exchange simply requires read-write domain controllers. It's...

If you want to write client applications to run on computers that use MAPI or CDO (for example, web servers) and you don't want to install (or can't install) either the Outlook client or the Exchange management tools, then you need to install...

We consultants help each other out, of course. I know Exchange and Active Directory pretty well, but put me in front of Citrix or a big T/S farm or a PKI implementation - heck, I'll scream for help without any qualms whatsoever. So, a consultant I...

Over three years ago, a particular publisher in the computer field contracted me to write a book - which I did. They paid me for it, but they chose to never publish it. It was written with Exchange Server 2003 service pack 1 in mind - as you read the...
