Essential Exchange

A reader recently pointed out to me that several of the last scripts in my post Chapter 12 - Exchange 2003 Scripting were corrupted. I've corrected those. And now you should be able to enjoy them! Until next time... As always, if there are items you would like me to talk about, please drop me a line...

Next week, in Las Vegas, Nevada is the semiannual Connections conference. The Connections conference is a technical conference covering SQL Connections, Windows Connections, Exchange Connections, etc. There are lots of individual tracks, both for IT Pros and Devs. I'll be speaking next week at the...

It was pointed out to me, by a party that shall remain nameless, that I depended in today's earlier post Finding Disk Space Used By Exchange Version 2 , that I ASSumed that msExchCurrentServerRoles would never be higher than 64 and that that was a bad assumption on my part, for reasons that shall...

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 testing purposes, and have them all follow a certain...

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 text, keep in mind that it was written long before...

A number of parameters for EMS (the Exchange Management Shell - which is just PowerShell v1 plus the Exchange snap-ins) require the specification of a multivalued property. A multivalued property is just what it sounds like - a property that has multiple values. A very common one is the RemoteIPRanges...

Almost everything you can buy in the server market these days is 64-bit capable - whether AMD or Intel. Almost. Much of what you buy in the desktop market is 64-bit capable - whether AMD or Intel. Much. Why do you care? Exchange Server 2007 is only supported in production on 64-bit servers running 64...

Originally published June 28, 2007 This post and the script is Exchange 2003 friendly. As long as you point the “ExchServer” in the attached script to an Exchange 2003 server, this script can work in a mixed environment containing Exchange 2000, Exchange 2007, and Exchange 2003 servers. It will not work...
