Global Catalog with Exchange - Microsoft Exchange

Global Catalog with Exchange - Microsoft Exchange

Global Catalog with Exchange

Posted: 17 Oct 2005 10:29 AM PDT

The Directory Access tab shows the two GC's, DC A and DC B. So, they are
there are detected by the system. The ability to add/remove servers are
greyed out, although if I switch to show "Global Catalog Servers", the
display does allow me to check/uncheck "Automatically discover servers"
(which it is checked already). Just for some reason, it looks to DC A for GC
services. Now, for my testing, I've just been literally "pulling the plug"
on DC A (removing cat-5 cable). What if I do an actual shutdown to DC A?
Will that send a signal to the other domain controllers that it is going
down, and that DC B should now take on the GC services for the domain. Or do
I have to demote the server to fully relinquish it from GC services?

thanks again for the help!

GFI Mail Essential

Posted: 16 Oct 2005 06:53 PM PDT

The options that it has are great and it will catch a huge amount of junk if
configured correctly. I suggest running it using the "SPAM" tag for a few
weeks and tell your users to forward any emails tagged as "SPAM" to you so
you can adjust the safe senders list or filtering. Also use the reports to
see what is going on. Once you have a good configrunning change the "SPAM"
to either delete if you feel real good about your config or drop all the
"SPAM" into a public folder and tell users if they are missing an email they
think should have been sent to check that folder (make sure to clean it out
once a month).

On average I have seen sites that said spam was not a problem show me with
GFI reports that the total amount of spam was actually as much as 50% of all
emails.

RPC/HTTPS config without being on domain or network

Posted: 15 Oct 2005 10:44 AM PDT

Certainly.

I did setup the profile using VPN in my home system where the system is
never part of my company domain and local network either. Once you are
able to resolve your mailbox with the server, disconnect the VPN and
then you are in RPC HTTP mode.

One note if you are setting up RPC HTTP in your company laptop -- Under
"Exchange proxy Settings", I cleared the check box for "On fast
networks, connect using HTTP first , then connect using TCP/IP" to
avoid your laptop using RPC HTTP mode when you are the office.

See couple of useful KB articles here -
http://www.messagingtalk.org/content/148.html

Hope this helps.

Exmerge utility / Windows 2000 server / Exch 2000

Posted: 14 Oct 2005 02:44 PM PDT

I mean ExMerge from either version should work with Exchange 2000.

From the download page at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=429163EC-DCDF-47DC-96DA-1C12D67327D5&displaylang=en :

Note This version of Mailbox Merge should only be run from Exchange Server
2003 or from computers with the Exchange 2003 administrative tools loaded.
It ***can be run against Exchange 5.5, 2000, and 2003***.

Domain\Username - Outlook 2003 client

Posted: 14 Oct 2005 04:43 AM PDT

Well I believe it's allowing forms based authentication that takes that
feature of using domain\username out.

That is what we did.

In the exchange system manager, you navigate to Administrative Groups, First
Administrative group, select protocols, select HTTP. Right click Exchange
Virtual Server and select properties.

Then you select settings and check the box which says "Enable Forms Based
Authentication"

At least that is what we did on our Exchange 2003 server to get rid of the
need for the domain.

Hope that helps.

If you think you have C2C's MaX Compression software installed then it
is pretty simple to check.

Open Internet Explorer. Click on Tools-Internet options-General.
You should see a button in the center called "Settings"
Click on "Settings" then "View Objects"

If MaX Compression for OWA is installed you will see on ocx component
listed called "C2C MaX Compression/OWA Control".

If it is and you're having difficulties then drop a line to

OAB woes

That's partly what I followed when I was originally setting this up -
everything apart from "using ADSIEdit, set the msExchUseOAB property for
each user to equal the distingushedName of the relevant Offline Address

mailstore-level OAB setting, which already points to what should be the

es2003 or active directory on main server

Posted: 11 Oct 2005 11:36 PM PDT

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your advice this far.

My biggest problem is I do not have Winbdows 2003. I got the ok for
Exchange 2003 with 25 CALs which has just come through.
We had one NT4 server and three four windows 2000 servers. I have basically
been told to use what servers we have due to cost.

Therefore I need the current es5.5 upgraded to 2003 on the same server it is
on.

Original Network

Server1 - NT4 PDC - Dell dual p3 500Mhz
Server2 - Win 2000 Server with Exchange 5.5 - Dell dual Xeon 2Ghz
Server3 - Win 2000 Server - File server - Dell dual p3 500Mhz
Server4 - Win 2000 Server - Dell dual p3 700Mhz (Original Exchange before
last upgrade)
Server5 - Win 2000 Server - Dell 3Ghz

Done so far

I have installed NT4 on Server5 with service pack6 as BDC, then promoted to
PDC.
Upgraded Server5 to Windows 2000 Server global catalogue, new domain in new
forest.
Tested ADC install on Server5 which passed all tests ok but did not
complete.

Desired outcome

Server2 - Win 2000 Server - Exchange 2003, OWA - Dell dual Xeon 2Ghz
Server5 - Win 2000 Server as Active Directory PDC and global catalogue -
Dell 3Ghz

I see two options

Migrate to Exchange 2000 first onto Server5 and then migrate back to Server2
as exchange 2003

Or

Install Exchange Server 2003 on Server5 joining the existing Exchange 5.5
site and use the move mailbox method.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=822942

- You can perform an in-place upgrade from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003;
however, an in-place upgrade from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2003 is
not supported.

To upgrade from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003, you must join
an Exchange 2003 computer to the Exchange 5.5 site, and then move Exchange
resources such as mailboxes to the Exchange 2003 computer. Use the Exchange
Server Deployment Tools to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003.
Although Exchange 2000 did support in-place upgrades from Exchange 5.5,
moving the resources from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 is still the
recommended upgrade path.


I would prefer not to do an in place upgrade,

1 - the drive us partitioned too many times and I want to reformat first
2 - dont really trust the roll back options if anything goes wrong

I have done a lot of readin and there are numerous options. If you could
help advise which route is the best I am sure I will be fine fomr there.

Thanks again.
Jess

Rogue indents in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:43 PM PST

I've set the fisrt lines of paragraphs to indent via the Specials drop-down list, but I've found there are other lines within paragraphs that are also indented.

 

If I highlight the rogue indent and set it to "none" via the same drop-down list, it also removes the indent from the first line too! If I then reinstate the indent for the first line, the rogue indent returns too. AArrggh!

 

I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I've tried tabbing, backspacing etc, all to no avail. I'm working in final view without mark-up.

 

Any suggestions please?

Possible bug in Word 2007 and Word 2010: page 2 of 1

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 08:11 AM PST

I seem to have found a bug in Word 2010, which also seems to be present in 2007.

To reproduce:

  1. Create a new blank document.
  2. From the Insert ribbon, add a footer and add Page Number of style Page 1 of 1.
  3. Add enough blank lines to go on to the second page.
  4. From the Page Layout ribbon, Breaks, add a Section Break, Even Page.
  5. All is OK at this point - the first page is 1 of 2 and the second is 2 of 2.
  6. Delete the section break.

Now the bug appears. You can see that the first page is 2 of 2 and the second is 3 of 2. It looks as if deleting the section break has affected the PAGE field code.


For extra fun, highlight the page number, right-click and choose Format Page Numbers; then change the Start At value. You can make the first page 0 of 2 or 2 of 2, but you can't make it 1 of 2.


Does anyone know if this is can be fixed?

Table Position in Document Footer

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 07:55 AM PST

I am  using VBA to create MS Word 2010 documents from a template. In the template, I have one footer for the first page and a different footer for the subsequent pages. Each footer contains a table that has some cells with plain text and some cells with content controls. Everything is working fine, except that when I create the documents the footer tables have shifted to the right. I have tried different ways of creating the templates and positioning the tables, but every one has this problem (some more than others). One of the best results came from starting with a document created in Word 2000 and converting it into a template, but it still didn't work entirely (small shift to the right).

Ideally, I would like to start with a blank template and build the footer from scratch. The document body has a border around it, and I would like each table to be flush with the left, bottom, and right borders. It sounds simple enough, but I'm darned if I can figure out how to do it! Thank you very much for any help . . . .

I have done this by completing a fillable form, however this then restricts other parts of word:-

 

Such as

 

Review Tab

Insert/Clip Art

Shapes

Smart Art

Captions

Cross referencing

and a few more to mention,

 

Does anybody have any ideas on how to solve this?

How to Replace Certain Characters at Start of Each Paragraph

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 05:52 AM PST

I need to replace certain characters at the beginning of each paragraph in manually-created numbered lists in Word such as "9.2 " with html code for open line item (<li>). I can't simply replace all instances of "9.2 " because there can be numbers in the body of the paragraph that should not be changed. Is there a way to do this? There will be lots of variations such as numbers followed by tabs, etc. but I have already written the code to do this, just don't know how to just make changes at the beginning of the paragraph. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Word 2010 indents lists when pasting

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 05:26 AM PST

In a template I use at work, whenever I paste from an outside source into a numbered list, the indent of the number I paste into gets shifted .5" to the right.  I have disabled Smart Paste and changed lots of the other paste settings, to no avail.  This template was originally created with Word 2003, but we are now using Word 2010.  Is it possible to correct this, or is it perhaps just one of those weird formatting quirks that happens from version to version?

Office 2010 Hyperlinks and Active Directory Authentication for Internet Access

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 02:11 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I work in an Education Environment, and we use Web Filtering based on Active Directory groupings to block or allow certain websites for Staff and Students.  For unauthenticated access, such as people using Smartphones or Tablets, we also have a list of blocked sites.  (This list is, understandably, the strictest.)

It's recently come to our attention that hyperlinks within Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2010 are responding with "Unable to open <URL>. Cannot download the information you requested".  This happens to any users for whom a website is on their specific allowed list, but would otherwise be blocked for unauthenticated users.

For example, YouTube is blocked by default, but in many establishments is allowed for staff.  If a member of staff types youtube.com into the address bar in IE, it works.  If they type youtube.com into Word 2010 and click on the hyperlink that's generated, it fails with the above message.  This is not how we want our system to work.

In another example, if a website is usually allowed, but blocked for a member of staff, and that person types the URL into Word and clicks on it, an IE Window opens, but then displays our "Website Blocked" message.  This *is* how we want our system to work.

So the question is, how do we get Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2010 hyperlinks to stop sending unauthenticated requests to the website in question, and returning an error if it cannot download the information, but rather open IE by default and *then* either display the website, or a blocked message?

Thanks,
Tim.

EDIT:  I undestand HLINK.DLL and URLMON.DLL might have something to do with it, but I don't know what.

Bottom border to a single cell in a word table

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:45 PM PST

Hello,

I can't seem to get a bottom border isolated to one cell once I've split the cell into two. Top border only works, as does left and right only, but bottom border does not work... it creates a bottom border under all cells in the row. Any ideas?


I tried to apply a bottom border to the right cell and this is what it does. It'll work on the left cell fine but not the right. If you split the cell into even more columns you can create a bottom border for each cell independently except the right most which will create a bottom border for all cells in that row.

Thanks for your help

Reassign the location where files are saved in Office 2010

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:22 PM PST

I  am running Windows 8.1.  My C drive is a SSD and I have a HDD as my data drive.  My intent is to only store program files on the SSD and save all the data files on the HDD.  I see the file  - options -save - dialog box where the default setting point to my C drive.  I suspect this is where I need to change to my HDD path.  Is this correct?  Do I need to create the folders listed in the default path or can I shorten it to the HDD drive designation (E)?  I want to do this to all the programs in Office 2010.  I suspect it will probably have to be done for each program.  Thanks!

VBA to Replace Number in All Numbered Lists in Table

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 06:04 PM PST

I am trying to use VBA to replace the number (or bullet) in all numbered lists in a table with html. The following code works great for doing this in a non-table environment but only works on the first cell in tables. I imagine it has something to do with the "paragraph" parameter but can't figure out how to change it. Thanks in advance for your help (my code follows):

 

Sub Replace_All_Numbered_Lists_In_Selection_With_Open_LI()      
    Dim oPara As Paragraph
    Dim r As Range
    For Each oPara In Selection.Paragraphs()
        Set r = oPara.Range
       If r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListSimpleNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListBullet Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListListNumOnly Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListMixedNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListOutlineNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListPictureBullet Then
            r.ListFormat.RemoveNumbers _
            NumberType:=wdNumberParagraph
            r.InsertBefore Text:="<li>"
        End If
        Set r = Nothing
    Next

What reasons make different Line spacing between "exact" and "atleast"?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 05:28 PM PST

Hi.

I just wondering line spacing rules.

I asked,

when I use "atLeast" in <w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="300" w:lineRule="atLeast"/>
the paragraph borders, the box around the paragraph, is higher than when "exact".

MS said,

" The difference can be even a little better seen if space="0" is used in the top and bottom elements in pBdr. 

The Word 2013 behavior is in compliance with ISO standard, 17.3.1.33 says "atLeast (Minimum Line Height) Specifies that the height of the line shall be at least the value specified, but might be expanded to fit its content as needed." "

I want to know what algorithm make different between them.

Please, let me know.

Have a great day.

OEM-Key vs COA Differences

Posted: 04 Dec 2005 03:55 PM PST

This is what Microsoft website OEM FAQ says:

Q. My customer bought a new PC and wants to move their OEM software from
the old PC to the new one. Can't they do whatever they want with the
software?

A. The OEM software is licensed with the computer system on which it was
originally installed and is tied to that original machine. OEM licenses
are single-use licenses that cannot be installed on more than one
computer system even if the original machine is no longer in use. The
end user license agreement (EULA) accepted by the customer before they
use the software, states that the license may not be shared, transferred
to or used concurrently on different computers. The System Builder is
required to provide end-user support for the Windows license. A System
Builder can not support a license that has been moved from a PC they
manufactured to one that they did not — this is a fundamental reason why
OEM System Builder licenses can't be transferred.


Q. Can my customers transfer or sell their OEM software licenses?
A. After an OEM software license has been installed on a PC, the license
may not be installed on or transferred to another PC. However, the
entire PC may be transferred to another end user along with the software
license rights. When transferring the PC to the new end user the
software media, manuals (if applicable) and certificate of authenticity
label must be included. It is also advisable to include the original
purchase invoice or receipt. The original end user cannot keep any
copies of the software.

The end user license agreement (EULA) is granted to the end user by the
System Builder and relates to the license on the PC with which it was
originally distributed. Because the System Builder is required to
support the license on that original PC, a System Builder can not
support a license that has been moved from a PC they manufactured to one
that they did not. This is one of the key reasons why an OEM System
Builder license can't be transferred. For more information, click here.

Show them a copy of this message and see what their reaction is. They
want to sell you a software and so they will not volunteer information
unless you ask them specifically. This is pure business.

May I suggest read these two articles and use the tools provided by

£70 is very cheap for Office 2003 Pro - although perhaps not so much so for

I really don't know if your software is legal or not but, for that or any
other reason, if you want to read a pst file you need Outlook - have any of
your friends got a copy?

Steve,
Formulas can be made as complex as you can stand but keep in mind the
limitations of using a formula in a custom field. The formula can only
work on data relating to an individual task, the more complex the
formula the more likely it will contain a logic error, and formulas only
work on tasks in the Project file where they reside. Formulas are also
quite limited in what they can do (i.e. available functions).

Whey trying to exercise multiple decisions that may involve data
elements from many tasks, (or resource or assignments), VBA is the way
to go. The same complex formula used in a custom field can be easily
broken into smaller elements making it easier to understand and
troubleshoot. A macro stored in your Project Global can be used to
operate on any Project file. If you do not have any experience with VBA,
we will be happy to help you either directly or through suggestions for
learning VBA yourself.

I know I didn't directly answer you question. When I see someone trying
to develop a complex formula my inclination is to suggest a better
alternative.

Using a macro to create a shortcut button to apply a resource flit

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 02:09 AM PST

Hello, Blue!

You can't always record your filtering - it's better to record yourself
creating and applying a filter, then you can use the code you get to create
filters for other resources, too.

Remember to use the test "contains" and not "equals", to pick up where a
task is allocated to more than one resource.

Hope this helps

Pete



Sub FilterDaveChow()
FilterEdit Name:="Dave Chow", TaskFilter:=True, _
Create:=True, OverwriteExisting:=True, FieldName:="Resource Names",
Test:="contains", _
Value:="Dave Chow", ShowInMenu:=False, ShowSummaryTasks:=True
FilterApply Name:="Dave Chow"
End Sub

Actually you probably can create the equivalent of a hammock task with

(although I've never tried it). But, I agree with your your second

they all make good sense.

A Way to list the WBS number with each task in resource usage view

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 02:11 PM PST

Hi Lisa,

This macro should copy the WBS values into the assignments' Text1 field that
can be shown in any Usage view:

Sub CopyWBS
Dim Job as task
Dim Whodunit as assignment
for each job in activeproject.tasks
if not job is nothing then
for each whodunit in job.assignments
whodunit.text1=job.wbs
next whodunit
end if
next job
end sub

Base calendar in a Master Project

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 01:33 PM PST

Hi jlb,

PMFJI, but I am puzzled when you say that the master project calendar seems
to take over the scheduling for the subprojects. When I work with inserted
subprojects with different base calendars they maintain the base calendar
definition from each subproject. True the nonworking time *display* in the
Gantt chart defaults to the Master Project nonworking time but each task
schedule (including changes in start time, finish time and nonworking time)
is following its base calendar.

As John notes, any tasks added to the master will default to the base
calendar for the master.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

How to track time without considering assignment units?

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 02:52 AM PST

Hi,

I'm ok with your definition: the status date is the date when a status
is done on a project: actual work and remaining work are only valid for
this status date. We do a project status during the week as soon as
actuals and estimates to complete are available from our time tracking
tool. The status date is the last friday.

What I was missing was a way to manage tasks AHEAD of the status date:
- do I have to spread extra work on past work, and how?
- how do I see the project gain of time and the final milestone
advance?

I solved these questions by properly configuring the calculation
options of ms project (please see my other post)
Anyway, thanks for your help !

customizing updates tab in PWA

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 01:03 AM PST

yair o --

The only way to get extra columns to show up in the Updates page in PWA is
to add them as extra published fields in each project. To do so, open each
project and do the following:

1. Click Tools - Customize - Published Fields
2. Select the extra fields you want from the list on the left and copy them
to the list on the right
3. Click the OK button
4. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. Click OK

You should also ask your Project Server administrator to add these
additional fields to the Timesheet view if you are using Project Server
2003. Hope this helps.

How to add a gridline in gannt chart to show Deadline?

Posted: 26 Jan 2005 08:27 PM PST

Use the drawing tools to put a vertical line in the plan and in the line
properties lock it to the date. A better way than a vertical line would be
to insure you have a final "Project Complete" milestone and all dependency
link paths terminate on it - while not every task in a project will have a
predecessor necessarily, every one will have a successor - if nothing else,
the Project Finished milestone. Then set a deadline (Task Information,
Advanced tab) on the finish milestone. Now MSP will "red flag" if you're
going past the deadline. You could carry it farther and put a deadline on
all the tasks in the plan if you like but I don't think that would be
particularly valuable.

Scheduling Multiple Resources for a Task

Dale,

Thanks for the help...I have a follow-up question. For the task below; what
would be the best way to track progress? In my case, Resource 3 completed
20% of her work, resource 1 & 2 have not completed any. I went into the view
you showed me and reduced the remaining hours for Resource 3 by 20% but for
the overall task, the % complete still shows zero. Is there a way to have
Project automatically calculate the overall % complete based on the remaining
work for a resource or do I need to manually calculate the overall % complete
based on a 20% completion for Resource 3?

In addition to the other comments. since you want some tasks to split and
others not to, do the leveling in several passes, selecting the tasks to be
leveled in the current pass and using "Level Selevcted Tasks" instead of
leveling the entire project.

You must add the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields to the list of

Be sure and select the "Let resource change field" option for both fields
and then click OK. You must then publish each project using Collaborate -

Lastly, you should teach your team members how to use these fields properly
while entering progress in their timesheet. Hope this helps.
