ending up on blacklists, they've been doing it this way for a number of

Running Exchange 2007 on Active Directory Server

Posted: 06 Jan 2009 06:17 AM PST


Hello Henry,

Thank you for your post and others' input.

Ideally, you should install Exchange Server 2007 only on a member server or
as a stand-alone in the case of the edge transport. One limitation of
installing Exchange Server 2007 is that you will not be able to use the
DCPROMO command to add or remove the directory server role. You cannot
promote a member server that has Exchange installed to a domain controller,
and you cannot demote a domain controller that has Exchange installed to
the status of member server.

However, if you are running Exchange Server as a part of Microsoft Small
Business Server 2000 or Windows Small Business Server 2003, you can install
Exchange Server on a domain controller. However, if you are not running
Exchange Server as part of Small Business Server, it is recommended that
you avoid running Exchange Server on a domain controller.

If you are running Exchange Server on a domain controller without Small
Business Server, be aware of the following issues:

" Exchange Server and Active Directory are both resource-intensive
applications. There are performance implications to be considered when both
are running on the same computer.
" If Exchange Server is running on a domain controller, you must also make
that domain controller a global catalog server. For more information about
creating a global catalog server, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article
313994, "How to create or move a global catalog in Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000, or Small Business Server 2000"
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=3052&kbid= 313994).
" Several Exchange Server directory components, such as Directory Service
Access (DSAccess), Directory Service Proxy (DSProxy) and the Message
Categorizer will not fail over to any other domain controller or global
catalog server.
" You should not take advantage of the /3GB startup switch in Windows
because it could cause Exchange Server to consume all memory, thus reducing
the memory available for Active Directory.
" System shutdown will take considerably longer if the Exchange Server
services are not stopped before shutting down or restarting the server.
" This configuration is less secure because Exchange administrators will
have local administrative access to Active Directory, enabling them to
elevate their own privileges. In addition, any security vulnerability found
in either Exchange Server or Active Directory exposes the other to
compromise.
" If you are running Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 on a
domain controller, using the domain controller promotion tool (DCPromo) to
change the computer role is not supported, and is known to break components
such as Microsoft Outlook? Mobile Access.
" Running Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 on a clustered node
that is also an Active Directory domain controller is not supported and
should never be done. This means that if you are running Exchange 2000
Server on a node in a cluster that is also a domain controller, you must
demote the server to a member server prior to upgrading from Exchange 2000
Server to Exchange Server 2003.

For more information, please refer to the following articles:

This Exchange server is also a domain controller, which is not a
recommended configuration
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997407.aspx

Exchange resident on domain controller that is not a global catalog server
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997060.aspx

Hope this helps to address your concerns. Also, if you have any questions
or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.


Best regards,
Robbin Meng(MSFT)

VPN to Moved Exchange Server

Posted: 22 Dec 2008 12:21 PM PST

Sounds like your VPN client may be the culprit. Our firm restricts your
ability to use any network resources other than what's on the current subnet
for security. If your remote Exchange Server is on a different subnet than
your normal work subnet, you wouldn't be able to get to it if setup like we
are. You get DNS resolution because your DNS server is on your current
subnet, but it appears your Exchange Server is not.

Office 2007 Unusable in Limited User Account

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 09:17 PM PST

Well, this is really disappointing. It's a shame that two Microsoft products -- Office 2007 and Windows XP -- can't work together.

As I previously said, resetting registry permissions with SubInAcl didn't help.

Applying MSKB 911682 didn't help. ("Windows Installer-related event IDs are logged in the Applications Log when you start an Office program")

Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Office (with security software turned off, of course) made no difference.

Resetting permissions on Office registry keys did nothing.

Office 2007 is not practical to use in a Limited User account on XP Home.

Now I must choose between using Office in Administrator accounts exclusively, forgoing the increased security afforded by the Limited User account, or using OpenOffice, which works just fine in a Limited User account. Since I am unwilling to give the children Administrator accounts, it looks like they're going to be using OpenOffice.

<sigh>...I thought I had this problem licked, but I was wrong.

I use Windows XP Home SP 3. I installed portions of Office Enterprise 2007 (Word, Excel and Outlook) from my Administrator account. I used the software in my Administrator account for a few days, and everything was going well. Then I switched back to my Limited User account.

In the Limited User account, each and every time I start Word or Excel, Office Enterprise 2007 wants to configure itself. This process lasts about 5 minutes. (I haven't used Outlook yet in the Limited User account.)

Since the problem only manifests in the Limited User account, I thought there might an issue somehow with permissions. I switched back to my Administrator account, completely uninstalled Office, and then installed SubInAcl and reset my registry permissions. After that, I installed Office 2007 again (Word, Excel and Outlook.) I switched back to my Limited User account and...you guessed it...same problem. Every time I start Word or Excel, Office 2007 spends 5 minutes configuring itself. Since I use Office just about every day, this behavior is not acceptable.

As a result, I have gone back to using my Administtator account for day-to-day computing, which is not an ideal situation. If anyone can help me to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.

VLK Serial For Office 2007

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 11:10 AM PST

 

I'm familar with the new licensing system, but it does not apply to Office
2007, which uses the old VL keys that bypass activation.

As I've mentioned, I have a valid and working VLK. The only question is
whether I am allowed to use it or not for my internal use installs,
considering the note "Use this key for installing and using Office 2007
applications within a Terminal Services environment."

I'm asking since I won't be using Terminal Services.

I have normal/retail keys as well, but I'd really like to avoid activation
since we change hardware and reinstall Windows quite often here.

Thanks.

Once done & tested,
Then in Outlook, File>Open>Data File.......the next window should open at
the default data file location - select the origonal data file (probably
named outlook.pst, but you can check this from Persoanl Folders properties

Then in the tree view of outlook (left pane) you will have a second set of

Select a folder, eg Inbox, select all mail and drag it to the Inbox folder
of the Primary Personal Folders Inbox (Top of tree view)
Do this for all your mail folders.

Embedded Visio Objects in Word

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 12:19 PM PDT

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report a bug, but I've found a repeatable one that should be quite easy to fix.

Preface:

I am working in Word 2013 and using embedded "Microsoft Visio Drawing" objects to create flowcharts. The object is created and by default it is 8 1/2" x 11"... which if you working with an 8 1/2" x 11" document with margins in word makes it to big. So I manually go in and re-size it to be 5.8" x 7.25", a nice size for my purposes. Since I create many of these flowcharts, and since I don't want to do this step each time I copy and paste the object to get many of this same sized object. Doing this is what led me to find the following bug.

Bug

If right-click the Visio Drawing Object and select Visio Object > Open it opens the object in Visio for editing. If you then delete the first page that was created, I happened to do this because I had other pages and no longer needed that first page for that particular object instance, then it renders the object un-editable both from Word and from Visio. I'm sure you just need a line of code saying if that first page got deleted... then open up the next available page for editing. 

Notes

I am using:

-RemoteApp to open Word and Visio

-Windows 7

-Dell Latitude Laptop

Table of Figures -

I have a very similar error with inserting the Table of Figures with respects to the Figure not showing up.  My case is that I have a Figure 23 - Image 1, and a Figure 24 - Image 1, displaying on the Table of Figures.  In the basic document, the figures are displayed as Figure 23 - Image 1, Figure 25 - Image 1, but there is no Figure 24 in the basic document that I can find.

When I hover my icon over Figure 24 - Image 1, in the Table of Figures, press the Control button and click, it takes me to the next page where supposedly, Figure 24 is located but there is nothing there.  I have moved the figures and there is no figure captions there.  I have deleted both Figure 23 and 25 from the basic document and re-entered them.  Figure 23 will enter as 23, but, when I enter the next Figure, supposedly, it is suppose to enter as Figure 24 but it does not, it enters as Figure 25.  I also deleted the Table of Figures and re-inserted it and Figure 24 still appears in the Table of Figures but in in the basic documents.  Tracking is off.  Anyone else experiencing a similar problem.  Thank you for your time and inputs.

I am paranoid about OneDrive, for which I have numerous posts and  no solutions.  [Everything and everyone is culpable for the problem, EXCEPT for Microsoft.  There is no way Microsoft has written problematic code with OneDrive.]

Therefore, daily, I save a copy of my notes.docx file as yyyy^mm^dd^notes.docx, where ^ is a space.  Therfore, I have numerous copies of notes.docx for edits made on respective days.

So,

In Word, under recent files a paying Microsoft customer would erroneously believe:

  • that notes.docx would be listed as a recent documents because, in fact, it is used and saved daily.
  • recent documents would be listed either in descending date order by the nomenclature of the file, e.g, the file saved yesterday with the yyyy^mm^dd^notes.docx would be listed as well as the day before that and the day before that an so on or by the actual save date of the file

This paying Microsoft customer erroneously believed the above.

This paying Microsoft customer:

  • does not even see notes.doc.x in the recent documents list, a file that was in fact used and saved yesterday.
  • does not see the immediately 3 preceding files of notes.docx with the following naming structure yyyy^mm^dd^notes.docx

This paying Microsoft customer sees as his recent documents:

  • notes.docx files with the naming structure yyyy^mm^dd^notes.docx as of 75 days ago, seventy five days ago!!!

Stated differently, the code that Microsoft has written is telling this paying customer that:

  • files saved 75 days ago are the most recent files
  • files used yesterday and saved yesterday are OLDER than files used and saved 75 days ago
  • Word has not saved a single document for 75 days; therefore, Word has not been used in the past 75 days either to create or to edit Word documents.

Remember Forrest Gump?

Microsoft is a technological box of chocolates, you never know what the Microsoft problem du jour you are going to get.

Oh, yes, I know the fault lies with me or some third party or failure to have everything updated (because it was released to the public as **** in the first place with the intention of proclaiming corrections with updates) or the man-in-the-moon, because it is never Microsoft's fault.

QUESTION: Is this how the free Google Docs does it?

Template Titles Displaying in Spanish

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 08:56 AM PDT

I'm not sure when this changes, but when I go to open a new template in MS Word 2013, the template titles are now displaying Spanish instead of English, making it hard to tell what they are. The only title still in English is the Blank document. I have checked the options in Word and it is set for English to be my default language, so I'm at a loss why this is happening and how to fix it.  

Note: I know about dummy text and this is not what I'm referring to. Look at this screen shot and the template titles.

How to I stop Word 2013 from randomly changing style formats?

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 07:44 AM PDT

So -- I'm in a document where all of the text is "Normal".  I realize I need to turn it into an outline.

I click on the first paragraph and set that to Heading 1.  I modify the style of Heading 1 as necessary, and set the "following paragraph" to Heading 2.

I click the next paragraph and set that as Heading 2.  I modify the style of Heading 2 as necessary, and set the "following paragraph" to Heading 2.

I click the next paragraph and set that as Heading 3. I modify the style of Heading 3 as necessary, and set the "following paragraph" to Heading 3.

Things are going fine, until one time I put the cursor at the end of a heaingr 2 paragraph and hit "delete".  Prior to this, it had pulled up the following "X" paragraph (which was Normal) into the Heaoing 2 paragraph. I then hit enter, the "X' paragraph is now Heaingr 2.  But sometimes, when I hit delete, it pulls up the following "X" paragraph and changes the Heading 2 paragraph to normal -- instead of the other way around.  I can't figure out why this happens.  As far as I can tell it's completely random.

Then, I right click on the style for Heading 1, modify, and click the "B" to bold the text in Heading 1.  For some reason, the number for Heading 3 paragraphs is now also bold, although the text is normal.  Heading 2 remains unchanged. 

for the love of christ, why does this fricking program constantly make random and unintelligible formatting changes?  And how do I stop it?

Problem with Formatting Macros

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 07:28 AM PDT

I've made certain Macros that change the formatting of text when used, i.e. going from single spacing to 1.25 spacing, etc.  Unfortunately, when running the macro, it will change other formatting to that which may have been in effect when I made the macro, i.e. say I'm using justified alignment but when I run the 1.25 spacing macro it will change the alignment to Center.

How can I get the macros to simply make the formatting change assigned to it and NOT change other formatting that might be in use?

I'll apologize if I'm not making sense!  I couldn't figure out how to state the problem!

Help with ListNum indentation problem - Word 2013

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 07:23 AM PDT

I have set up a list number for a template that could be used by a lot of people.  It works pretty well, but I have one problem in getting indentation set up properly, and I have been  in the list number set up window (and experimented with settings) a thousand times with no resolution.

In the image below that shows an excerpt of the document, I want the 2nd line of the 3rd level list (3.2.1) to indent like 2nd line of the 2nd level list (3.1).  In other words, I want the second line of text to align with the first line of text, not align with the number.  And, of course, I want it to happen automatically and consistently throughout the document when someone does a Decrease Indent to add a 3rd level list number and has enough text to have a second line - it should have that alignment-format.  The only way to do it now is to manually go to the paragraph setting and set up the hanging indent after the 3rd level is created.  Obviously not a great solution for a template. 

The 2nd line on the 3.1 level always aligns with the 1st line.  The 2nd line on the 3.1.1 level never does (unless I have modified paragraph settings for an existing list item).  I am including the List Setup window too. 

Please help me!  I want this template to work great.    

I am having problems with the coding for a mail merge combining multiple rows into 1 document.

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 07:12 AM PDT

I am trying to get a data set from excel that includes company name, contact name, check numbers, check date, amount, and payee name to come into a mail merge document in word. I would like my company name to be the key for notating a new document. I am not doing something correct in my coding, and I am not sure where I am going wrong. This is the coding that I am using (with the control F9 command to get my brackets). 

{ IF { MERGESEQ } = "1" "{ MERGEFIELD COMPANY_NAME }" "" }{ SET Company1 { MERGEFIELD COMPANY_NAME }}

 

{ If { Company2 } <> { Company1 }"
{ MERGEFIELD COMPANY_NAME }

{ MERGEFIELD CHECK_DATE } { MERGEFIELD EE_NAME_1 }" "{ MERGEFIELD CHECK_DATE } { MERGEFIELD EE_NAME_1 }" }{ SET Company2 {MERGEFIELD COMPANY_NAME }}

This is the result from this coding: 

ABC Company

 

 

 

«CHECK_DATE»«EE_NAME_1»""«CHECK_DATE»«EE_NAME_1»"

 

 

Furthermore, I am at a loss as to how I would incorporate this into my document that I have typed up. I would like the company name and a contact name to flow through (but again only one document per company), and this would be referenced a couple of times in the document. I would like the check information to show at the bottom of the document - preferably as a table, but as long as the information shows I won't get too picky at this time. 

Thank you for any help! 

How to make multiple copies from a word template

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 06:54 AM PDT

I have created a word template. I want to fill a table in the template with the details i retrieve from ms Access database. The code I have written is to fill only one document which i later want to change to suit multiple records 

Dim oWordDoc As Word.Document    

Set oWordDoc = GetObject("C:\Users\user\Desktop\Access2Word.dotx")

With oWordDoc

     .Bookmarks("TName").Range.Text = "L.Venkatarao"
    .Bookmarks("Toffice").Range.Text = "ZPHS, Palasapuram"
    '.Bookmarks("EmpId").Range.Text = "0125183"
    .Bookmarks("TdateofBirth").Range.Text = "03-07-1981"
    .Bookmarks("TPolicyNumber").Range.Text = "L-420421422"
    .Bookmarks("TPremiumEnhancement").Range.Text = "150"
    .SaveAs "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Sivasri.docx"
    .Close
  End With 

Set oWordDoc = Nothing

when i save it with SaveAs, the new document is not opening. when i save it with .save, the changes are saved in the original template. but i can't get a copy.

Please give ideas

By the way, i am totally new to ms word vba

Templates Don't Open when Preview is On in Explorer

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 11:44 PM PDT

The title pretty much explains it. If I have preview showing in Explorer and double-click a Word template nothing happens. If I then Start Word, the template appears as a second window. The problem then is that the window has no ribbon or other interface and I can't seem to edit the file.

Can anyone tell me how to get the files to open properly.

Thanks

Copying Excel to Word - Conditional Formatting Not displaying

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 11:03 PM PDT

Just wondering if anyone can help.  I've got a data set in excel with conditional formatting, 22 columns with up to 4 conditional formatting rules per column.  Everything works fine in excel, but when copying to word (to paste into a report template), some of the conditional formatting disappears.  I've tried pretty much all combinations for copying (as picture etc) and pasting (paste special, as image, as link etc).  Example pictures below.

Using Office 2013 on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Interestingly, it seems to work when only half the data is copied (in 2013) and it also works fine in Office 2010.

Original data (excel):

Data when pasted into word:

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Restricting editing to Groups in Word

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 09:51 PM PDT

Hi,

I have a form which I have set up for one Group to have full access to all areas designated, but limited access to just a few other areas to "Everyone".

So I initially formed the Group by creating a list of Individuals, and then selecting them all.

Unfortunately, as I move through the document and assign parts that the Group can edit, more "Groups" appear in the Groups box which seem to be duplicates of the first but the individual names are in different orders.

First question:  Is there a way I can delete all these "duplicates" and just have my original Group showing, as all the duplicates are confusing?

Second question (and this could be solved by the answer to the first):  I want to add some individuals to the original group.  Is it just a matter of adding these individuals as users to the Individuals list and then adding them to the Group?  I suspect it is, but if there are many "duplicate" Groups showing, this can become a bit of a problem.

Thanks in advance of the answer.

Automatic formatting of URL in Word 2013

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 06:48 PM PDT

Windows 8.1

I have two documents, both are assignment documents received from an online college.

When I type a URL in one of them and then press space I get a nicely formatted link, in normal type and blue and, I think, underlined.  In the other document, the URL gets turned into italic, no blue lettering and no underline.  This behaviour seems to be set somewhere in defaults within the respective documents but I have been unable to find where.  I like the blue etc. response, not the italic etc. response.  Could somebody please advise me as to where I can find the appropriate settings.  I have searched online help but cannot find an appropriate answer.

With thanks in anticipation.

MS word 2007 crashing when pressing function button at top left

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 06:43 PM PDT

my program immediately closes when I press the button at the top left corner (the one you press to access save, open, etc). 

it does not do this all the time, but does do this frequency to be a nuisance. 

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

When I open a manual in Word, the text is in Greek, but should be English

Posted: 11 Mar 2015 05:24 PM PDT

Hi. I am using a PC and running Windows 7. I have Word 2010. I am opening a file created by someone else and when I open it, the file is in Greek. The language settings say Arabic, though.

Someone else within my office uses the same computer and versions as me and they are able to view the manual in English, which is what the language should be in. 

What settings can I take a look at to fix the issue?
