domain/ip adres

Posted: 24 Jan 2009 08:36 AM PST

Hi there, sounds like you need to change your dns record of domainname.org to
th new ip address that you an use to connect to your new OWA site. Presumably
you have a dns A record along the lines or mail.domainname.org that you use
when connecting to OWA with the added /exchange component on the end (the
/exchange is nothing to do with dns, dns purele resolves names to ip's , or
vice versa). Hope that helps
James.

Yes, you can. Add a new "other" address, type is "X500" (no dot or quotes)
and the address will look something like
/o=org/ou=site/cn=Recipients/cn=MailboxDN.

The best way to handle this in a migration is to perform a directory
synchronization that maps the legacyExchangeDN to a proxy address of the
type described above.

All versions of Exchange use internal addressing in the X.500-type (it's not
pure X.500 for various reasons) format. You cannot remove them.

Exchange 2003 DR Testing

Posted: 21 Jan 2009 12:06 PM PST

I absolutely wouldn't connect a recovery server to the production network.
Another option would be to use your production Exchange server, or build
another server in the production organization and create a recovery storage
group and restore there. The latter option helps ensure that your restore
doesn't impact your users' performance. Just build the new server with a
new name as if it were a new mailbox server in your present organization.
There are some things you won't be able to do with this method, but you will
be able to use Exmerge to recover deleted mailboxes, folders and items from
your restored databases to the production server, if that's what you're
looking to do.

Is there any way to make a Word document with fillable forms functional in the tablet/iPad version of Word?

Mail Merge section 1 footer links to previous

Problems editing documents (Word 2010)

Posted: 18 Mar 2015 07:55 AM PDT

My entre office uses a cover sheet template saved as both a .docx and a .docm. Either way, whenever we print our cover sheet, we're not able to edit it any further unless we close it completely and reopen it. Also, if we click outside of the text area before we're done, the document "freezes" and we have to close and reopen the blank template and start over. Any suggestions as to how we can continuously edit the document after printing without reopening it? We all use Office 2010 on machines running Windows 7.

Very Slow Office 2013 Pro Plus Mail Merge.

Posted: 18 Mar 2015 04:41 AM PDT

Hi,

I am working in an organisation with about 14000 supporters.  We use mail merge as well using Word to send out emails to the supporters. Ever since we went to MS Office Word 2013 Pro Plus and doing a mail merge (~4000 recipients in total, but sending a customised message to each via Word --> Mailings -->Mail Merge --> Email Message) and after finishing the merge it is taking an extremely long time to print the letters - approximately 1 minute per letter - so the entire process takes over an hour to send them all. Each letter is just under 40KB.

We feel this may be related to the MS Office 2013 Pro Plus as it never happened when we was using MS Office 2010. 

I would appreciate any insight or configuration changes we can make.

Thank you.

Word Comments bugs - can't see cursor in Review pane and when writing comment in Review pane the main text goes back to the top

Posted: 18 Mar 2015 03:16 AM PDT

I'm using Microsoft Word 2010. To insert a comment a use the Review tab - New Comment. This opens a Review pane at the bottom of the screen (I'm in draft view), which I type into but as I do so the main document text (which is visible in the top half of the screen) jumps to the top of the document. Is there any way to get it to stay where I was in the document, where I'm inserting the comment?

Also, if you try to edit comments in the Review pane, it not only jumps to the top again, but you can't see a cursor in the Review pane text. You just have to start typing and hope that you're in the right place.

I have query on this in another Forum and have been advised to open a similar thread in the Office Forum.

The thread is: Word slows for a time upon opening document

There you will find a description of my problem and what I've been advised so far. 

Basically Word becomes unusable at times because it takes from 1-5 seconds for each key stroke to register. 

It happens when I open a document from OneDrive. Sometimes it is ok if I close the document and reopen it, but mostly not.

I've have Office 365 Student.

Table occupying parts of two pages

Posted: 17 Mar 2015 09:16 PM PDT

I have a table (actually lots of them) that extends from near the bottom of one page onto part of the next page. It would be nice to remove the border that appears at the bottom of the first part and the top of the second part, so the reader, when seeing the first part, knows that there is more to the table. I can do this, so far as I know, only by splitting the table into two parts and removing the bottom border from the first part and the top border from the second part. This can get quite inconvenient and has to be redone of the table moves even slightly. Is there a better way?

Sudden problem with editing document in Word 2003 SP3

Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:31 PM PDT

Recently in composing and editing my Word 2003 documents, I am finding the editing has gone haywire.  When, for example, I change the font of a piece of text, the WHOLE document reflects that change.  If I hit Re-do, then  the edit turns out correctly, i.e., just the target text relfects the desired changed font.  The Re-do works most of the time that way, but not always, depending on the kind of edit I do.

What's happened and how do I repair this?

Thanks, Walt

Comparing values using a word macro

Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:23 PM PDT

As far as I can tell this should be easy, but I just can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is to create a macro that will look at a number value, and if it is within a certain range it will replace the line with a new piece of text i.e.

find "height=xx"

if xx is less than or equal to 50

then replace "height=xx" with "style=height:2%"

else

if xx is greater than 50 and less than 100

then replace "height=xx" with "style=height:15%"

And so on.

I've looked at a lot of macros and tried adapting them, but never quite hit on the one that does what I'm after.

If Then Else syntax for blank date field (Word 2013)

Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:21 PM PDT

I have a date field I am merging from a 3rd party program.  That date field is either blank or has a date in it.  But....it's never really "empty" in that it has slashes already in the field.  So it it's empty, it looks like

  /   /

and therefore, when I use the comparison IS BLANK, it doesn't work.  I have tried "if date is greater than or equal to 1" and that doesn't work either.

So I want to end up with:

DATE: 01/01/01

or

nothing if the date field is empty.

Can anyone tell me the correct syntax to use?

Thanks so much.

How to print Special Characters?

Posted: 17 Mar 2015 05:10 PM PDT

I'm looking for some help in printing some help pamphlets for the people I work with.  What I need is to print the following sentence and have the special characters actually print in place in the line.

Change (Line Break [Shift = Enter}) to (Paragraph End Mark {Enter))

I need it to print the actual Special Characters where the description is in the line.  Don't need the parts in { } just the characters.  I'll be printing a list of the characters and how to create them in a different place in the pamphlet.  I've got all the computers set up to show the special characters in a document so my co-workers will be able to see what I mean.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

any Office activation wizard that may be showing there) and reboot the

MS Office 2003 Student & Teacher normally allows installs on three
concurrent computers within the "same household." As long as you don't have
the software installed on three computers currently, you can install it on
the new computer in the same household.

Was this S & T a converted trial on the old laptop or did you purchase the
install disk in a Microsoft package that says you can install onto three
computers? If it was a converted trial and you got the disk directly from
Microsoft as a backup it is probably an OEM version and "legally" would not
be able to be installed onto your new computer, however if the packaging
says it can be installed on three, install away.

What to expect with out-of-sync RAID devices?

Posted: 30 Jan 2010 02:18 PM PST

Nico Kadel-Garcia <com> writes:
 
 

I am using software RAID on two USB drives. I know that
re-syncing can take ages; but I am prepared for this. Yet I must
prevent that one drive gets written to and then the other one
gets also written to, so that concurrent versions emerge and none
of the two drives is the "old" one which can be safely
overwritten with a mirror of the "current" one.

In other words: At each point in time, both drives must have the
same content, or one of them must have only obsolete content.

Lets call the drives A and B. Assume that I remove drive B by
pulling the USB plug. Then I do "touch current-drive" to mark
the remaining drive. Then I shutdown the system, re-connect drive
B and boot again. In all my experiments, this lead to a degraded
array being assembled with partitions from drive A. So far this
is what I needed. I can then re-add the partitions from drive B
with something like "mdadm /dev/mdX -a /dev/sdXX".

However, I also did the following experiment: after pulling the
plug on B, writing the file "current-drive" to A and finally
shutting down, I booted with only B connected. The system got up
and did its fsck (as expected, since the filesystems on B were
not cleanly unmounted before). I then shut the system down,
re-connected drive A and booted again.

In some cases, drive A was used to build the degraded array, and
in some cases drive B was used. I did not detect a pattern here.
This is not very convincing. One must keep in mind that this
series of events may also occur unprovoked: just think of an
unreliable USB hub.

You wrote that the "disconnected" drive would be marked as out of
sync at boot time. I presume this looks like this:

md: kicking non-fresh sda1 from array!

But by what criteria is a drive being categorized as "non-fresh"?

My Radeon X300 needs to have Mesa configured with low-impact fallbacks

this, anti-aliased line drawing is enabled and that's *slow* (done using

No, I have not worked with them. However if you can give me a url to an image
please so. I am familiar with rack mounted equipment and their cooling
requirements.

The man asked after a single machine. He did not ask after a rack full of
them. If he had asked after a rack full I would have posted nothing unless
someone said leave the cover off. Rackmount is a separate issue. There has to
be no difference between the one on the lowest and the one on the highest
position in the rack.

For that I agree. Leave the cover ON! If you leave it off convection is just
going to make the one above it hotter and there is no place for the hot air do
convect away from it.

But he is asking after only one machine and not in a rack. Such a machine is
in a bad environment and has to make the best of being heated from above and
below. A single computer does not suffer from such disabilities.
 
 

Let me try some generalities here. ANY surface roughness s! Even the
bottom side of an MB is going to create turbulent flow and most of the heat is
on the other side. On the other side the components are much higher and cause
more turbulence and there is NOTHING you can do about it. The only better
cooling than native convection is going to be a 10 inch fan (Sears or
Walgreens not a computer product) ing directly on it from above.
