Exchange Queues not Emptying

Posted: 16 Apr 2007 12:58 PM PDT

I just counted 21 queues that have unsent messages in them. I am totally
frustrated. What earthly good is Exchange Server if it will not send stuff
out??? I cannot be checking every day to see what queues are clogged up.
And I do not know how to unclog them. Any pointers would be GREATLY
apprecaited.

ADUC and SMTP

Posted: 16 Apr 2007 10:52 AM PDT

I read that alright -

What I have noticed is the following -

On out local lan - we have 2 domains controllers - GC and the mail server.

On either on the DC's if we make any Exchange modification to the user
account in ADUC we get this message.

However on the mail server itself we do not have this problem.

Still investigating why...

Restarted services, and all the servers ..

Removed latest hot fixes on the last DC.

Reinstalled the exchange tools + service pack for exchange on the DC too...

Configuring POP3 for External Users

OK - but you should look into the alternatives and try them out. Much
better. Exchange is way overkill for a POP server and you can't
maintain/manage their mail data at all this way (nor can they use any of the
collaboration features in the product). 

Nothing - check your firewall. If it's working from the inside, sounds like
port 110 isn't being forwarded. You might post back the exact error messages
when you try this from outside the firewall.

Email stuck in Drafts folder - Exchange 2007

Posted: 15 Apr 2007 05:07 PM PDT

Hi Lan,

Thanks for updating.

It is possible that some third party applications are causing this issue.
To isolate the influence of additional applications, please boot the
problematic client into a "Clean Boot" environment to see whether this
problem continues:

1. Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in
the Open box, and then click OK.

2. In the Startup tab, click the "Disable All" button.

3. In the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" checkbox,
and then click the "Disable All" button.

4. Click OK and restart your computer.

Please also help me collect Message Tracking log for further research:

To enable Message Tracking:

Open ESM, on the General tab in the server's Properties dialog box, select
the Enable message tracking check box. After the issue is reproduced,
please wait about 15 minutes and then go to the message tracking folder and
collect the message tracking log for us.

By default, the message tracking logs locate under the folder:C:\Program
Files\Exchsrvr\servername.log

Please send the information to com with subject:
38772692- Email stuck in Drafts folder - Exchange 2007.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Hello you all,

this is my configuration:

I have 2 sites. Both sites were running on a 2000 platform (win2000 with exchange2000)
In one of the sites I have installed two new servers, which are running as DC. A third server is functioning as mailserver (Exchange2003).
The original DC (Win2000 with Exchange 2000) has been running until yesterday.
The second site has been left untouched (completely running on Win2000 platform).

Since yesterday, I turned off the 'old' server (2000 DC and Exchange 2000). Everything seemed to be working fine, untill I tried to create a new user this morning.
The creation of the user works perfectly, but when this same user tries to connect to his mailbox (through outlook 2003), the following error message
displays:
'The name could not be resolved. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list'.

When I relaunche the 'old' server --> DC and Exch2000), the user can connect to his mailbox without any problems.

Anyone any idea what can be the cause of this? The old server has to be turned off because he frequently has hardware errors (end of lifetime....)

Any advise is welcome.

Regards,

Q

SPAM Capability Comparisons

Posted: 09 Apr 2007 04:27 PM PDT

Richard,

I haven't met too many IT folk that would recommend a single point of
attack solution. We use a 3rd party device for spam and virus as well
as server/workstation based virus protection and IMF. This week, our
3rd party rejected over 35,000 messages (and we are a small school!) and
the IMF tried to take care of the ones that slipped through. I still
get some spam every day.

If we could manage it in the budget, I'd consider adding another 3rd
party device to try to reject more spam than I currently do.

Hi,all I am using 'Harvard' bibliography in Word 2010.

Font will not change text in document (Normal is already set)

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 01:45 PM PDT

I am trying to change the font of text I have copied and pasted from another word document. My default normal is currently set (this is set to a different font then I am trying to use) 

I have selected all text and tried the drop down, I have tried going straight into the font window to change it here. and no matter what I select it just does not change the font its like it is locked to its current font. 

This is not a installed font from another source it is Miriam font in size 10 current font is simsum I believe its called.

I have also gone into the advanced tab and everything is as it should be in that portion of the font window as well.


This is not the first time this is happened, so I am interested to know the solution to stop it from occuring

Any thoughts as to what this could be ?

I am creating multiple choice questions so I need to be able to restart the list of answers at A for each question. I can create a style for a numbered list, but it will generally continue numbering from the previous list. I then have to manually restart it.

I have tried various methods and end up with a whole mess of styles. Sometimes a style seems to work, but not consistently. I've also managed to mess up some of the questions I've previously formatted correctly so they are all answers are numbered with the same letter.

Prevent pages from printing?

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 08:22 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a document that is ~200 pages.  Pages 1-50 are the Body, and the remaining 51-200 are an appendix.  Is there a way that, if the user goes to File--> Print (or any other method of printing), to not include pages 51-200?

There could be a few ways - maybe have a message box notifying the user that there are 150 pages of Appendices, and to select only 1-50 for the main document.  Or, have the default print settings have print 1-50 only....etc.

Basically, I just want to prevent the user from going to File->Print (or CTRL+P, or some other way) and then print 200 pages when they really just want the 1-50 pages.  I have read about maybe using "hidden text" but I would like the user to be able to see the text when reading the digital document - I just want to prevent them from printing all of the document accidentally.

Even if I broke it into sections, that could still print the whole thing.  I am familiar with Macros/VBA (via Excel) if that helps.  Thanks for any ideas!

Using keyboard shortcuts only to navigate in the open dialog box.

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 04:54 PM PDT

The cursor is automatically in the file name box when you ask to open a file. I need to find a way to get to the left hand pane, I guess the directory tree (not sure what it's called) using the keyboard, then get to the files listed in the right hand pane once I have picked the correct folder. In Word 2003, my fingers never left the keyboard to open a file, and I am trying to find a way to do that in Word 2013. Half the time I cannot even tell where the cursor is in the dialog box. This is driving me crazy. I spend enough time clicking with the mouse as it is.

Question on the Thesaurus feature in Word (Office 2010 Starter Edition)

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 03:40 PM PDT

This really is an odd question pertaining to Microsoft Word. I often use Thesaurus. When I use Thesaurus (Shift + F7 key) the Thesaurus opens. However, when I then click on "All Reference Books" on the second window of the drop down menu, I get a Windows Security pop-up that says to enter my credentials. I have made no changes to my computer or downloaded anything new.

What is this all about and how do I get rid of it so that I can access "all reference books" again? 

It only asks me for this in the above specific situation. I have made no changes to my computer in years, and the above issue was not the result of a new program or anything like that. So I cannot figure it out at all.

I use this feature a lot in connection with my work, so I do need it....it is not a minor issue for me although it may appear that way.

Thank you.

Inputting answer on preexisting line

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 03:40 PM PDT

I have a downloaded Word document that came with questions and a line to place your answer in. 95% of the document works perfect, it asks a question and I can place my answer on the line with no problem. However, several lines are giving me an issue and I can't figure out the reason why. Example: What is your favorite color?   ___Blue____, on 95% of the lines "Blue" would rest on top of the line instead of separate the line. I'll click on a line that I know works right and compare it to the settings box of a line that isn't working and haven't found anything different. However, I may not be looking in all the available settings! Also, simply highlighting the "____Blue____" and underlining it may put a line under the word but it's noticeably different from the rest of the document and looks trashy.

Ubuntu and Windows dual-boot

First of all, look here, it has enough info on how to fix your problem:
If not, google boot.ini commands.

http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html

Generically, have the boot.ini point to the second partition so
Windows will boot.

Second and I am trying to be kind, your partitions are "goofy"
for a dual boot Windows/Linux machine. Since I don't know
the history of this computer, I will go through what I would
do if I were in front of it.

1. back up all relevant data for reinstalling later.
2. use a diag program on the hd to make sure is it good
3. wipe the drive
4. install Windows and have it create the first partition where it
will reside and don't have it take up the whole drive, leave
enough space to install Linux. If you need to share files between
Linux and Windows, create a second partition and format it
FAT32, it does have a file size limit of 4G.
5. Install other Windows programs as needed.
6. Once Windows is installed, install Linux with the appropriate
partitions. Use the Windows loader and don't install GRUP in
the MBR, install it in the /boot partition. With newer versions
of Linux this setup part should be a no brainer.
7. Re-install the data and away you go.

The above assumes that your motherboard/IDE controller is LBA-48
compatible. If it is not, then the install configuration is a bit trickier.
Windows is brain dead when it comes to other os's. It likes to be
installed in the first partition although it can be installed on others. So
the easiest install process is to do Windows first and Linux second.
Windows also likes to assume that it is the only os on the computer.
Virtualization will change that.

If you don't want to go through the above, you can edit the boot.ini
file and change where it points to for the Windows partition but to
learn the format of that line try google. If that doesn't work, repost.

linux and usb audio (OT??)

Posted: 17 Nov 2006 01:06 AM PST

In comp.os.linux.setup Mike Scott <stopper.scottsonline.org.uk>: 

I'd suggest to take a look at Fedora Core, the community version
of RH (http://fedora.redhat.com/). AFAIK FC 6 is recent, I have
one box here running FC since FC2 to FC5 now. Any hardware,
anything USB (including audio) plugged into the machine just
works with no user interaction required. Did install FC5 on some
recent laptop (FSC iirc) lately, any hardware including wireless
lan was picked up on install and setup automatically.

Just be sure to run 'yum update' after installing and run it from
time to time, there is a cron job that can automate this for you,
if 24/7 online.

A few tricks to get the most out of FC6 with the least effort,
especially to get around some problems with audio (mp3) not
working out of the box, due to license problems:

Try installing windows 95 on a modern machine. I think you catch my drift.

You need a more up to date distro. Try Fedora 6 (fedora 1 was the first fork
off redhat 9, so it goes to show how far you are behind)
 
 

My advice... Don't.
Is there any reason you WANT to install a dead distribution that's been out

Microsoft Word - Error message

Microsoft Word - Error message

Error message

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 01:41 PM PDT

I am getting an error message when I try to open Microsoft office programs such as exel and word.  The message reads "We are sorry by word (exel) has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly.  Word (exel) will need to close as a result.  Would you like us to repair now?

When I select "repair now" nothing happens.

Thank You!

wildcard search question for Word

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 01:30 PM PDT

I have a very large word document . Within the document are instances of a word pattern like this:   apple:apple    I wish to find all instances of this pattern within the document . The two words within the pattern must be the same. Is this possible using "find" in Word?

Fonts size changed from 12pt to 8pt in all documents

Posted: 24 Aug 2014 01:16 PM PDT

I started a new document in Word 2013 and notice the fonts in this document were about 8pt or less, even though I had Comic Sans set to 12pt. I opened older documents and the fonts size in them also were about 8pt, even though the select size was 12pt. 

I could select all the text and then choose a font size of 18pt or higher and the text enlarged where it looked normal.

I tried creating a new blank document and the same results as in the first paragraph above.

I tried searching online and followed several tips on creating a new blank document and got stuck where the instructions;

"If you do not have a document open, create a new document that is based on the Normal template. To do this, clickFile, click New, click Blank Document, and then click Create."

There never was a "Create" button to click on, it just opened a blank document.

Is there a solution?

Respectfully,

Answer

I'll try to answer at least some of your questions. I don't have answers for all of them.

a. Is there a way to prevent automatic unwanted format changes to  complex tables? Every time I open the document, a few tables are changed. They are too complex to be assigned one style. Is it possible that if a table has no Style, Word feels free to change its format?

In Word, just as every paragraph has some style, every table has some table style. In the same way that Normal is the default paragraph style, Table Grid is the default table style. However, table styles are flaky and have been ever since their introduction in Word 2002. Refer to Shauna Kelly's article for an excellent rant.

Although table formatting should never change just because of reopening a document, the conversion of Word's memory-resident image to the XML in the disk file could have a bug that's triggered by particularly complex formatting. If you can isolate particular tables that are unstable, I can pass them to the Word developers to investigate.



b. Why does displaying the XE fields completely change the page numbering and page layout? Can this be prevented? If not, it was a horrible design decision. They should have handled it like the Review notices off to the right.

XE fields are comparatively old constructs in Word, and they behave like all other fields -- their code displays inline. Tracked changes and comments came along later, and they use a different display mechanism. I doubt that Microsoft would consider rewriting the indexing code to accommodate your suggestion, as good as you and I think it would be.

Every XE field is automatically formatted as Hidden. You can avoid changing the layout by going to Options > Display and unchecking Hidden text. This is absolutely required before you generate the index, to avoid getting incorrect page numbers.

c. Why doesn't Advanced Find have a backwards search or a count of instances found?

It does. To search backward, click the More button to expand the dialog, and change the Search dropdown from All to Up. To get a count, click the Find In button and click Main Document (or one of the other choices if available). The count appears in the dialog.

d. I think I've noticed that Find does not work 100% of the time. True?

That's not my experience, with one exception: If you use a wildcard expression when the "Use wildcards" box is not checked, or you use a non-wildcard expression when the box is checked, the search probably won't find anything.

e. The lines of text differ in length between Draft and Print views. This is very inconvenient because Print view shows the final layout but repaginating is very slow.

The original purpose of Draft view in early versions of Word was to minimize the load on the slow CPUs of the time (8086 and 80286 processors). Later, it morphed to a view that minimizes the temptation to fiddle with formatting when you're supposed to be paying attention to wording and organization. Neither of those things has anything to do with line breaks.

When you switch to Page Layout view, it's supposed to be What You See Is What You Get. Almost any reasonably modern processor should be able to keep up with repagination in real time, although those complex tables you mentioned might slow it down -- especially if they're damaged in some way.

f. Why does repaginating have to happen all the time in Print view even when I make a change that can't affect it? Very annoying.

Print Layout view repaginates whenever you aren't actively editing. It has done that in every version of Word, because it's trying to be WYSIWYG.

g. My book has three levels of organization: Parts, Chapters, and Sections. When I go to update the page numbers for cross references or TOCs, doing it at the Part level does not work. It keeps asking whether I want to update everything or just the page numbers. Doing a Chapter or Section is OK.

I don't know what you mean by "Part level" -- and neither does Word. The largest functional grouping in Word is the document, and the next largest is the section. How are you defining your Parts, and more importantly, how are you trying to get Word to understand them?



h. I thought that the entries in a TOC were hyperlinked, so that if you click on one it goes there. Mine don't do that.

If you use one of the "Automatic" tables on the Table of Contents button, the entries should be hyperlinked. You do have to click somewhere inside the content control that contains the TOC before the tooltips will appear, and by default you have to hold Ctrl while clicking to make the jump. (To change that, go to Options > Advanced and uncheck "Use Ctrl+Click to follow hyperlink". Note that this affects all hyperlinks in all documents on your computer.)

If you really don't have hyperlinked entries, press Alt+F9 to display field codes. In the code of the TOC field, add the \h switch (documented here) and then press F9 and choose to update the whole table.

i. At seemingly random times, when I click Home > Paragraph > Numbering, Word hangs up for as much as ten minutes! Any ideas?

Nope. But if you're numbering headings (rather than numbered lists), avoid the Numbering button like the plague. Instead set up a Multilevel List numbering scheme according to this procedure. Anything else is asking for trouble.

j. Why are the Quick Styles not in a sensible order?

The snarky answer is that it is sensible -- to someone. The real answer is that there are many sensible orders, depending on what you're doing and how you prefer to work. You can define your own order. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to open the Styles pane, and click the Manage Styles button at the bottom. Go to the Recommend tab of the dialog. In turn, click each style you want to see on the Quick Styles gallery; if it's gray, click the Show button; and click the Assign Value button and give it a value. The lowest values appear first on the gallery, and higher ones farther to the right and/or down to the next row.


k. Is there a way to find out what styles are actually used in my document? It would be nice to delete all those that are not used, in one quick step.

Not really. For one thing, you can't delete any of the built-in styles -- Word just won't allow that to happen. You can delete custom styles, either those defined in the document itself or those defined in the base template. If there is any text formatted with a style that you try to delete, you'll be warned; if you continue, that text will be formatted with Normal style.

You can affect which styles are shown in the Styles pane, if you care. On the Styles pane, click the Options button. The "Select styles to show" dropdown claims to let you choose "All styles" (but not really all; only Paragraph, Character, and Linked), "In use" (but that shows some styles that aren't assigned to any text), "In current document" (but this shows the same list as "In use"), or "Recommended" (according to the settings on the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog).

l. Is there an easy way to remove lots of the styles I never use? Deleting one at a time  is  very  slow.

If these are custom styles rather than built-in styles, then yes, you can write a macro to do it. The gist of it is that, for each custom style, the macro does a Find. If no text with that style is found, then the macro deletes the style. If you ask Google, you'll probably find that someone has posted such a macro.

m. Are any of these things improved in Office 2013? If not, why buy it?


If these are your only criteria for whether to buy Office 2013, then you won't find any of them are different in Office 2013. The major focus in 2013 is on integration with the Cloud (particularly OneDrive) and on collaboration with co-workers. There are some very nice new features, but none of them are in the areas you asked about.

Problem in specifying page borders

Posted: 23 Aug 2014 10:36 PM PDT

Hey, I'm a user of MS Word 2013. I have to do my Industrial training report with the following specifications. The page borders should be 40mm from the left edge and 25mm from the right, top and bottom edges. Since word doesn't take spacing more than 31pt(which is way less when converted to mm), I'm unable to get the required page borders. It's kinda urgent. So, any solutions please ?
