Exchange Disaster Recover

Posted: 10 Jun 2004 05:43 PM PDT

Hi, I read your post and I am currently creating an Exchange DR procedure

You may be able to use your companies desire for Exchange DR as a driving force to support an upgrade to Exchange 2003

Exchange 2000/2003 has many features for DR, and I am implementing them all in to my plan depending on the sitauation. One thing that came to mind while reading your post is a Dial-Tone scenario. I'm not that experienced with Exchange 5.5, but wondered to myself if you could "workaround" something similar

Basically in the Dial-Tone scenario, you set up a similar Exchange server (in AD you would have an Alternate Forest) separate from your production network. Then (if facing database corruption) you would basically blow-away the corrupt production database and create a new blank database. This will allow your users to send/receive mail messages and get them back up and running quickly

Then on the secondary Exchange server you would do your resotre and/or repair on your database. Once you get the original database back on to the secondary server you can connect to the mailboxes using ExMerge (or similar) and move the data back into production. (Or to save time you can just swap the restored database back into production and put the dial-tone database on to the secondary server to save time with the data transfer)

There are many other improvements in the DR arena in Exchange 2003 as well. I would try to lobby for getting an upgrade to your systems

Hope this helps

Well, for what it's worth, I don't have SP1 installed yet & I have that
problem with system state backups. Are you indeed backing up system state in
the same job?

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=820272&product=exch2003 has
info on this, but as you say you've already seen it, you must know that this
applies to E2003 even w/o SP1....the KB article is a bit misleading as the
problem occurs even when you don't have the databases on the system volume.

Hi Toby, thanks for your post. Baris' method is what I use as well

What I do is run LDIFDE for EACH domain I want to dump the info from. Here is the command I run

C:\LDIFDE\>ldifde -f DUMPFILE.TXT -D "DC=MYCOMPANY,DC=COM" -L givenName,proxyaddresses -R "(objectCategory=user)

This should do the trick

No offense, but i don't think that would solve my needs.
We are not in the same domain. To seperate domains (with
no child domains) with two seperate Exchange servers. But
I need the Exchange server of one domain to be able to

Public folders - prevent duplicates, disallow forwarding to

Posted: 04 Jun 2004 08:42 AM PDT

Tom,

The question that your reply raised for me is as follows. That comparison
must create a lot of overhead processing. I was thinking that checking the
subject vs. every other subject in the public folder is pretty processor
intensive if it is a heavily used folder.

Would there be a means of identifying duplicates by message id? And would
that be a lower overhead implementation?

Regarding the one month thing for the scope of the project. I was factoring
in the need to come up to speed on the programming exchange / outlook
techniques.

How to add text & page number to footer via macro

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 06:06 AM PST

Hi.
I need to remove existing footers from a batch of documents in a folder structure and add a new identifier (text) and page numbering. 

I have a macro in Excel to run through all files and folders at a given level and return all file names to a spreadsheet.  The macro then runs through each file, opens the Word document, writes a footer, saves and closes the file before repeating the process for the next one.

My problem lies in that if I try to add text, eg "My Footer" and page numbering, the page number overwrites the footer text.  I assume this is possible and it is my VBA naivety that is the issue.  I have added my code below so someone can point out where I've made a mistake.

Hoping someone can help...

CC

Code:
Sub Open_Word_Document(footerText As String)

Dim ObjWord As Word.Application
Dim myDoc As Word.Document
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim testFileName As Variant
Dim testFileNameExt As String
Dim n As Variant
Dim oSec As Word.Section
Dim oFoot As Word.HeaderFooter

Set ObjWord = New Word.Application
     ObjWord.Application.Visible = True

With ActiveSheet
    LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End With
   
For n = 1 To LastRow
    'if name doesn't end doc then skip
    testFileNameExt = Right$(Cells(n, 1), 3)
    Cells(n, 2).Value = testFileNameExt

    If testFileNameExt = "doc" Then
     testFileName = Cells(n, 1).Value
     Set myDoc = ObjWord.Documents.Open(testFileName)
           With myDoc        
        For Each oSec In ObjWord.ActiveDocument.Sections
            For Each oFoot In oSec.Footers
                If oFoot.Exists Then
                    oFoot.Range.Delete
                    oFoot.Range.Text = footerText & vbTab
                    oFoot.Range.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
                    oFoot.Range.Move unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
                    oFoot.Range.Fields.Add Range:=oFoot.Range, Type:=wdFieldPage
                    oFoot.Range.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
                    oFoot.Range.Move unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 
                End If
            Next oFoot
        Next oSec
        myDoc.Save
        myDoc.Close
        Set myDoc = Nothing
      End With
    End If
Next

VBA: How to make Customize Keyboard dialog 'land' at the New Shortcut Key box

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 01:29 AM PST

I'd like to have a QAT button (macro) that opens the Cutomize Keyboard dialog with the cursor already in the Press New Shortcut Key box. In prior versions this sort of thing used to work:

 

   SendKeys "%n"

   Dialogs(wdDialogToolsCustomizeKeyboard).Show

 

But it doesn't now. I've also tried sending {tab 3} but no joy. I'm not that well-versed in manipulating dialogs programmatically and can't seem to find much documentation on it either. Any clues?

 

Strangely, it works just fine if I run it from the VBE, and in my universe that's normally that's where SendKeys fails most spectacularly.

word 2010 not displaying properly when opening how do I set it back to original settings

Macro for formatting heading styles

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 06:10 PM PST

I'm working with a template that uses character styles for bold and italics. I need a macro that finds all instances of bold or italics that were applied as direct formatting (ie Ctrl+I, Ctrl+B) and replaces them with the correct character style. However, simply searching for bold or italic font and replacing it with the style also changes the formatting in all the headings that are bold or italic (although they retain their paragraph styles). So after I've changed the bold and italics to character styles, I need a way to find all instances of Heading 1, Heading 2 etc, clear the character style formatting and reapply the correct heading paragraph style. Or, a way of applying the character styles for bold and italics everywhere EXCEPT headings. I need to do this across the entire document.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

Whole document changes color

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 01:41 PM PST

This can apply to other formatting as well. When I highlight, say, a word or sentence and click on a new color, the whole document changes color as well but reverts back to coloring the selection I made after pressing Ctrl-Z (Undo).

 

How do I stop this behaviour?

 

I am using Word 2003.

Recovering an Automatically Deleted File that Word Put in a Temp Directory

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 11:15 AM PST

I simply can not believe MS Word did this to me. Please help.

A client sent me a zip file. I put it in the proper directory. I opened it and modified it (extensively) and saved it as a new file. I did not notice that Word had decided to PUT IT IN A DIFFERENT -- and TEMPORARY -- DIRECTORY. Ugh!! It was C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp, I think. Then I guess it decided that a couple of days had passed and deleted it. It was less than a week ago that I last worked on it.

So, I...
- Searched my entire hard drive for one of the words in the file name...nothing (or at least nothing useful)
- Checked the recycle bin...nothing
- Checked "recent files" in Word...nothing
- Went to C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp and looked. There were 1,000+ garbagey-named files (CVR474C.tmp.cvr and whatnot)...and nothing useful

Help!! :(

Worksuite 2000 vs WinXP

Posted: 27 Jul 2004 06:32 PM PDT

Thanks, Kevin for the input. I must explain further. I am not looking for
one of my files. I am looking for items that used to be listed under the
Microsoft Task Launcher (under either "tasks" or "programs") I am looking
for the boilerplates that used to appear for many styles of letterhead or
the grocery lists boilerplate, for instance. These items used to appear on
the Works program when I pulled it up. Now there are several different
items listed but not some of the original ones I want to use again. When I
rec'd my new computer in April, it was already loaded with Windows XP. I
had the Worksuite 2000 disk from my old computer which was loaded with Win98
so I put the disk in and loaded it. I am the only user so the rights
shouldn't be a problem. I just don't understand why when the Works Task
Launcher listed the items when I had it on my old computer using Win98, but
now when loading it on to this computer with XP, some of the old items are
gone. Maybe I should ask if there is someplace else I should look for the
letterhead boilerplates? Is it just the fact that Works 2000 is now
interfacing with XP? It seems like it must be. This is a small issue and I
could re-create the items myself on Word but the mystery is bugging me.
Thanks for any further comments.

Upgrading Debian Woody distribution

Posted: 11 Apr 2004 03:09 PM PDT

Icebiker wrote: 
Be careful. Do you want to upgrade the distribution or just some packages?

The key to everything is the /etc/apt/sources.list file. I keep versions
for stable, testing, and unstable, then "apt-get update" using the one
I'm interested in at the moment.

What I'd do is point your sources to either testing or unstable,
depending on how close to the edge you want to get, then do "apt-get
update". After that, do "apt-get install <package(s) you want updated>"

For example, you can get KDE 3.1.4 from testing, or 3.2.1 from unstable.
Either is a major improvement over the 2.2 in stable.

"apt-get upgrade" will upgrade all of your packages. I do not recommend
doing this. Even in testing, some may not work properly with other
packages. At least when you're doing it a package at a time, you have
some control and lots of feedback as to exactly what's going to happen.
Keep an eye on the packages that are to be removed!

When the next stable release comes out, you can do an "apt-get
dist-upgrade" to get it. You can also do it to get the current testing
or unstable release, but as per "apt-get upgrade", I wouldn't do it.

Methinks that comment from the Vector webpage is merely marketing.
It makes no sense otherwise. If they can whittle down Slackware
to Vector Linux then the only difference is someone else is making
decisions. And considering some posts I've seen, Vector leaves out a lot
of things that is included with Slackware, out of some philosophy that
it all should be on a single CDROM. So, I gather, they leave out
plenty of console applications, but make sure the X based stuff
is in place. Ironic, since it's X and the desktops that make
an "old computer" suffer. And if you leave off one X based application,
all the left out console stuff could be included.

RH 9.0 and Microsoft Intellimouse PS2

Yes there was a slash. But I gave up. I've been struggeling with RH
9.0 now for many days and I dont know for how many hours.
 

I have 64MB in the computer. Gnome or KDE is not to be considered as
lightweight window managers I suppose? Is that the reason why it's not
possible to get the mouse working and somtimes also not the keyboard
do you think? Linux in textmode works fine however as soon I start X
everything stops. I was able to run Gnome with the keyboard( I think
it is Gnome anyway?) when I disconnected the Intellimouse. However
when I reconfigured and changed the mouse to generic PS/2 with "setup"
in linux then both keyboard and mouse stops working when X is started.

How to get hold of Knoppix? I was thinking of using slackware instead
of redhat?

It's a lot of work anyway but hopefully I learn something. At least
now I've learned som basic linux comands. ;-)

Don't know if above makes the situation any clearer however I need a
sholder to cry on! Thanks anyway Andy for you reply!

Go into Yast/Yast2 and search for kernel packages, then install the ones

If that does not make sense to you, it's probably better for you to go to a
Linux-user group meeting nearby and get some hands-on introduction. They
will love to install your winmodem ;->>>

Microsoft Word - Next Record for Mail Merge

Microsoft Word - Next Record for Mail Merge


Next Record for Mail Merge

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 01:01 PM PST

I'm hoping this is easy.  I've got an Excel datasource used for Mail Merge.  I'm simply trying to take some elements of the spreadsheet and print them out one after the other on a page.  The idea is like this: 

 

COMMENTS REPORT

 

Name:  <<Name>>

Address:  <<Address>>

Comments: <<Comments >>

<horizontal Line>

<<Next Record>>

 

But I can't seem to get the "Next Record" part to work.  What do I need to do to get it to print one record after the next to the end of my recordset? 

 

Thank you!

FRENCH LANGUAGE: how can I have 'ça' in french permanently recognised and used in Word 2007 when I type?

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 11:36 AM PST

The word 'ça' in french is used all the time but when typing the 'c' no cedilla is attached to it and that small word is never recognised!  Each time I have to insert it myself.  How and where can I go into WORD student 2007 and make it permanent???... as soon as 'c' and 'a' are together 'c' will have automatically a cedilla!!
With my grateful thanks.
Yours sincerely,

Changing the "page setup" defaults in Word 2003

I know how to change the margins for an individual document in Word 2003, but I don't like having to do it every time I open a new one.  Is there a way to permanently reset them? 

How do I get macros to be included in the templates I create?

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 04:13 AM PST

I create company wide templates and am having problems with macros that are not included/do not work in files created from these templates. When a user creates a document based on a template, the macros either do not work (the button in the access bar is there but I get an error message when I click it. I put this down to macro security settings), or the macros are not included at all, not even the button in the access bar. It does not go systematically wrong, because for some users, everything works great.

There are many posts that deal with macros on Answers, and they all explain the importance if normal.dotm and that that file is supposed to include all macros. My normal.dotm file do not contain any macros, even though I have created numerous ones. The templates I create are distributed to a number of different physical locations by means of a common folder. There is a *.bat file that installs the templates in this location: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\.

It seems as if I do something basically wrong when creating the templates with the included macros. What I want is: a user starts a new document from a template, and all styles and macros should be available in that document, no matter where is is subsequently saved. How do I make this possible?

Can macros be included in a template so that subsequent instances of the templates contain full macro functionality, regardless of the location of the originating template or normal.dotm?

Or must:
  • normal.dotm contain all macros, which would entail that we distribute normal.dotm to all users?
  • the originating template, including the macros, be distributed and placed in a defined location on all user computers?

And one final question: must an instance of a *.dotm always be saved as *.docm for macros to work? Can it under any circumstances be a *.docx file? If there is an absolute demand for this, one would think Word would give that as a suggestion when saving a file based on a *.dotm template.


Sorry for the lengthy post, but this is driving me, and many of my fellow users, crazy.


Thanks,

Lars

Word 2010 not printing to scale

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 03:45 AM PST

On office 2010 windows 8. I draw a 10cm box in word but it prints out smaller and not to scale. I have updated my epson printer software, changed paper sizes to A4. Cannot get it to print out to scale without enlarging the document in print settings to 105%? Does anybody know how to fix this?

Adding different page numbers at the bottom of columns

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 03:37 AM PST

I have a single document with each page split into 2 columns; the page is orientated landscape, so when I print it out, I can fold it into a C5 size (i.e. half A4).
I want to add page numbers which will be different at the bottom of each COLUMN, [not each (Word) page], so that the finsihed folded document will show different page numbers on the bottom of each 'page' (= a column), and thus have two page numbers on each sheet of A4 paper.
How can I sue Word to do this automatically please?  Or do I just have to do manul inserts in the page footers, guessing the location of the middle of each column?
