Are you receiving any event log messages? How is your SMTP virtual server
configured? Are both servers having trouble sending to the other, or is
this problem one way only? Do you have any firewalls between the two
servers, and, if so, are they filtering or "fixing up" SMTP? Have you tried
to perform a telnet session from one server to port 25 of the other server
and verified that you can send messages between them?

Exchange Migration Wizard (2003 to 2003)

Posted: 29 Aug 2005 08:03 AM PDT

Hi, Jim.
Yes, it is the Migration Wizard included in Exchange I was mentioning, is
there any other version ?

Apart from user data and public folder content, we would like to migrate the
delegations, Contacts, DLs & Public-Folder permissions, etc..
Basically lets say we must go through the move to the new organization and
at the same time minimize the impact on the end-users, they should not have
to re-create anything (PAB, rules, delegations, permissions, etc..)
I am wondering if we should not consider a third party migration tool such
as NetIQ & Quest, or can we do everything that these tools do with Microsoft
migration tools ?
Thanks Luca.

VSS Writer Event ID 9607 Error code 0x50d

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 01:14 PM PDT

That's interesting. I wasn't interpreting it that way. You are suggesting
that the data "backup in progress" refers to an already existing VSS request
and that's why the new request is failing? There is a job that starts at 8PM
and is throwing a CA error about not being able to connect to the CA RPC
agent. That job is finished by the time the second job starts at 10PM. It's
the second 10PM job that is trying to do a backup via the Exchange Writer and
that's the one that is throwing bith a CA error and the MS app log error I
indicated. I do see that the errors int he second job have occurred three
times. Each time was after the CA RPC error int he first job. Perhaps you
are correct and the CA RPC agent is stuck. I have recycled that service and
will do some other re-patching and see if this helps.

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

I'm sorry that I wasn't more clear previously. Regardless whether the
source of the issue is technical or legal, the issue itself is in
relationship to product activation and is therefore a licensing question.
As such, this licensing question falls to Customer service to manage, even
though the specific problem that you're having may very well be related to
your DVD.

It seems like you've done a fair bit of deductive work with this issue, and
I would recommend that a next step may be to call Customer Service and
discuss the issue with them. They will be able to provide you with the
best next step.

Thanks very much for your understanding, and please have a nice day.

How to import previous MSCRM data after change in AD domain name?

Posted: 02 Aug 2004 11:18 AM PDT

If your old AD domain exists on another DC, you can use the CRM Redeployment
tools to redeploy the CRM DB to the new domain. These tools can be found
on MSDN at: MSCRM Redeployment Tools

If the old AD domain does not exist, you can contact PSS / CRM Support and
they may be able to walk you through a process to pull some of the data out
of your old DB and to load it into your new installation in the new domain.
CRM has Data Migration Framework tools that can assist here.

SQL Server Error whilst creating new attribute

Posted: 02 Aug 2004 07:12 AM PDT

Paul,

The limit you are hitting is actually a SQL limitation. The KB article you
found refers to a bug that occurrs when importing schema info in CRM, not
actually adding them via Deployment Manager.

Basically, SQL will not allow a row to span a page (hence the 8k limit).
Problem is, CRM treats the record as if every field is filled to the max
(varchars only take up space for the actual data). Many of the fields in the
stock app are rather large and take up a lot of that 8k limit.

SQL will actually allow you to continue to add columns, but warns you of the
problem. It's not an issue until you try to save more than 8k of data. At that
point, the update errors out. Once you get to the pint of maxing out, CRM won't
allow you to add any more. They opted to prevent an error occuring that would
bubble to the end user that would result in lost data.

It's kind of a hassle, but that is what's happening.

Beginners Question

Posted: 02 Aug 2004 04:05 AM PDT

You might find this article mildly interesting:
http://www.crn.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=23905047&flatPage=true
Basically, it talks about how "CRM" is becoming much broader than it was just a few years ago. For instance, we use Microsoft CRM for our helpdesk/customer service, sales & marketing, and reporting, as you mentioned. But, because these tasks encompass 80% of our job functions, it is easy to envision a time when CRM might become more of a portal to everything we do for our customers (both internal and external) that ties everything together in a powerful way. I know that Microsoft wants to integrate more Office into CRM in future releases, and if they could turn the CRM web client email into a full email client, they'd be pretty close to accomplishing that.

Generating documents or letters from CRM

Posted: 31 Jul 2004 11:57 PM PDT

Many thanks for the reply. Its good to hear that there are updates in the pipeline. The good thing seems to be that Microsoft CRM will allow us to do some things that we can't with other products. The downside is that some of the everyday tasks are a little more difficult. The problem seems to be that the assumption is that most communication will be transacted by meetings, email or telephone. In reality it is still different for us and many companies we deal with.

I have tried the suggestions you make but we would still need to create some rules to allow all contact transactions to be duplicated to , say, opportunity level. This can be done as you describe but does seem more complex than clicking a button, chosing a template with the rest happening automatically with the minimum number of steps and keeping all the info for the item together in one place to allow efficient reworking of the item when reviewed.

I see from the postings that a number of others have raised the same point Hopefully the closer integration and planned modifications will help with this. Microsoft CRM is potentially a very good product but with one or two changes it could be really great.

Thanks again for your reply

My end goal is no matter where I'm at in a document I only want the "Macro" too deal with the selected "Page Only".


So far I've tried to change this script     If Selection.End = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\Sel").Range.End Then

I've the changed it to     If Selection.End = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\Page").Range.End Then


My thinking is, If I know how to put in Bookmarks ( I do not know how to go about this } at the end of each page My question then being can VBA  go to that particular bookmark and tell the macro to stop. Maybe this is an option I just don't know.

Thank you.

How do I insert printer's registration marks?

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 09:02 AM PST

Registration marks on proof pages look professional. Sometimes they're helpful to the printer, who must line up certain things. The problem is how to position them. Imagine lines connecting the edges of a 6x9" page for the printer, where you are printing proofs of that page on 8x11.5" paper. You might have true crop marks at the corners of the 6x9" page. (For true crop marks, see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/user-crop-marks-how-to-set-them/d27041d8-61ab-4d06-a99d-e1280a1d16cc and especially Suzanne's "How to Create Crop Marks".) The 4 registration marks are positioned just outside those lines: top, bottom, left and right. Naturally, the marks are not included in the finished product, and the lines themselves are always imaginary.

The mark itself is a circle on a large "plus"-like sign. It's Unicode 2316 and is found in MS fonts Arial Unicode, Cambria and Cambria Math. (Maybe there are others.)  Here's the Arial version. It does not get rotated when positioned. Sorry it's so tiny!

How to report bug in word to Microsoft?

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 07:06 AM PST

Hi all,

The bug:
Starting from word 2007, word 2010 and word 2013 contain a known critical (resulting in crash and lose of documents) bug.
When saving docx document, one may run into "A File Error has Occurred" error, or crash.
The bug itself is described&discussed (for example) here : 1,2. Here's a screenvideo.
The most acceptable workaround (using ".rtf" instead of ".docx") still have many side effects.

I've got an ".rtf" file, which demonstrates the bug. Word crash is 100% reproducible, using this file. I wish to brought attention of microsoft's developers to this file, since, I hope, they are interested in fixing word's crashes.

Submit bug options I know:
  1. I've tried to ask about how to submit a bug report through online technical support chat.
    They've just pointed me to https://connect.microsoft.com/office , saying that this is the way bug reports should be sent (although it's impossible to submit Office-related bug report there).
  2. My company's IT department told me I should try " https://support.microsoft.com/contactus/emailcontact.aspx?scid=sw%3ben%3b1513&ws=MoreInfo&wa=wsignin1.0%2cwsignin1.0 ".
    (Still no answer).
  3. Evidently, ask someone on a community site (i.e. here) to submit a bug report.

 

So,

  • If someone is able to submit a bug report on this, won't you please confirm this bug and submit it?
  • Are there any other options to submit a bug report?

Thank you!

Microsoft Word 2010 - File Permission Error - Havoc

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 06:47 AM PST

Application: Microsoft Office Word 2010
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Basic

Firstly, I want to appreciate the Microsoft Support. They give quick responses. But as usual, Microsoft products are causing Havoc in my life.
One fine day, I open a word document, add some content and save it. I then open it again and try to save it and it says 'Windows cannont complete the save due to a file permission error. (C:\Users\SHASHANK\...\Normal.dotm).'
So I navigate to the above path which is 'C:\Users\SHASHANK\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates' and delete this file called 'Normal.dotm'. I try to resave and it does.
So basically every time I open a word document, save it and close it. This 'Normal.dotm' file mysteriously appears in the above mentioned path. If I delete it, it saves. 

But I don't understand why does Office save stuff into Roaming, for that matter why do I even have a Roaming folder when I am the only user and not connected to a Network. Basically Office is on a mission to self destruct. It saves so much application/profile data when I don't want it to. 
Please find a solution to my problem.

PS - This problem is not with any one particular document but any document I create.


Thanks
Shnk

Anyone know how to copy/paste new rows into a table?

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 12:41 AM PST

Have been using MS Word for 47832473829 years and suddenly I can no longer copy/paste new rows into a table


You will see that where I tried it created a new/different table

I have resorted to Insert>Row>Below - one at a time

Anyone know how to copy/paste new rows into a table?

Personally I think it's a bug - like the font bug which seems to be default property of the document - so the only way to correct this is to create a brand new document

Obviously I dont know but I the gurus must hit this bug daily

Actually tried it on Office 2003 & 2007 and Windows XP and Win 7

Saving Word Line Spacing

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 12:33 AM PST

When I want to decrease the spacing between paragraphs of a Word doc, I go to paragraph settings and then, adjust the line spacing.  I click on the button that says to save this setting as a default for all Word docs, but it doesn't hold that default setting for me.  The next time I use Word again, I notice that the default setting that I just created doesn't hold.  

Then, I reset the line spacing between paragraphs, save it and close Word.  When I restart the program, the change I supposedly made to the default setting hasn't held.   

How can I fix this so that the change I make is permanent?

How Do You Remove Previously Typed Content From Word That Keeps Re-appearing?

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 11:33 PM PST

Re.  Word 2010, being used with Windows 7 Pro

A couple of weeks ago, I typed some thoughts onto a blank Word doc.  I didn't intend to save what I typed, so I simply closed Word when I was done with my work.    Since that time, every time I open Word or open a new document in Word, I see the content that I typed a couple of weeks ago instead of a blank document on my screen.   I then delete the unwanted content and begin typing.   This has never happened to me before in 20 years of using Word.

How can I permanently get rid of this content so that when I open Word or open a new doc, I see nothing besides a blank sheet on my screen?

Word 2013 will not open

Posted: 16 Nov 2013 08:43 PM PST

Earlier today I was using Word 2013 to write a paper. It was working fine, until it said that it needed to be repaired. So I did the quick repair. That didn't work apparently because now everytime I go to open Word 2013 I get a message saying, "Something went wrong."
How can I fix this?

Also, now I'm trying to repair it. The quick repair says it's repaired and ready to use, yet it still won't open. When I click on Online Repair, it says it can't be repaired.

Calendar Will not Open in Works Suite 2005

Posted: 06 Jul 2006 03:38 PM PDT

Re: Ken, I have now tried all of your suggestions and they have not solved
the problem. Are there anyother files that could be corrupted that would
not have been replaced when I reinstalled JUST Microsoft Works and not the
entire suite??

Hi,

I assume you replaced Mswkscal.wcd located C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works.folder with "Mswkscal.wcd" acquired
from your installation disc.

There is one more file in the Works folder you might try replacing. In the
same Works folder where Mswkscal.wcd is there should be a file named
"wkcalcat.dat", rename this file wkcalcat.old, then start/open calendar, it
will/should create a new wkcalcat.dat, if not you can rename wkcalcat.old
back to wkcalcat.dat.

If above does not solve the problem you might try reinstalling after using
cleanup utilities.

As you noticed uninstalling works does not remove all associated files, thus
when reinstalling not all files get replaced anew.

To get a clean install you can use cleanup utilities.

Typical information can be acquired here.

Hi Ed,

See below my search of past post.

Basically they suggest, uninstall, then manually delete the Microsoft Works

As suggested in previous post, cleanup should accomplish same.

Database currency formated print problem

Posted: 28 Jun 2006 10:18 AM PDT

More information:

The problem is associated with the Euro symbol. If the regional currency is
set back to IR£ then the printout is correct. It seems that somehow Works
and the printer driver ( and font selection?) are not properly accounting for
the Euro symbol.

Thus when proportioning the printout the dp "." (and the digit group symbol
"," when required) is/are shifted to the left, and so can be lost!

Naturally, even the Euro currency version works perfectly well when the font
is changed to non-proportional Courier new font. Euro currency figures in
Word, for example, in any font are correctly output on all the printers I've
tried. So I assume it some problem intrinsic to Works

Probably too fundamental a problem for me to sort out.

This will be the last of this saga. Sorry to have taken up your computer
resources and time with the verbosity!

One user can't open Works!
