new mailbox cannot receive messages from the internet - Microsoft Exchange

new mailbox cannot receive messages from the internet

Posted: 15 Jan 2009 11:02 AM PST

When I create a new mailbox for a new or existing user, the mailbox
cannot receive messages from the internet (tried gmail, yahoomail).

Error message: 554 554 <(newmailboxaddress)>: Recipient address
rejected: Access
denied (state 14).

Internal email works fine. Can send to external addresses.

Is there something I need to do to enable the ability to receive
external email?

Offline database defrag

Posted: 14 Jan 2009 10:54 AM PST

It looks like you're missing some quotes there.

eseutil /d "f:\Storage Group 2 - fs\Mailbox Database 2" /t g:\temp_mailbox

This assumes that what's inside the quotes "f:\Storage Group 2 - fs\Mailbox
Database 2" is a valid path. I don't believe it is because there's no .edb
on it.

Write DACL inherit - How to remove

Posted: 13 Jan 2009 11:27 AM PST

We have only one domain so that clarified it. I was also not using the
Exchange Management Shell.
I received the following message after running the command:


Remove-ADPermission : Cannot remove ACE on object "DC=sagrescorp,DC=local" for
account "SAGRESNET\Exchange Servers" because it is not present.
At line:1 char:20
+ Remove-ADPermission <<<< "dc=sagrescorp,dc=local" -user
"sagrescorp.local\Ex
change Servers" -AccessRights WriteDACL -InheritedObjectType Group

Best Practices yzer still shows the old server on the list of servers
under "First Administrative Group" but it did not have the Write DACL Inherit
issue listed any more.

Exchange Databse Recovery

Posted: 11 Jan 2009 09:27 AM PST

Once you repair the hardware, you may want to reconsider your storage. In
addition to a write penalty that's just plain too high, RAID 5 sets have
issues with rebuild. It used to be that you had a lot of small 9GBish disks
(the last of the breed that actually physically mapped 64 sectors per track)
in a RAID 5 set of say 8 or so members, and if one failed rebulding 9GB of
data wasn't too tough on the remaining drives. These days, people go out
and buy 3 1TB SATA disks a slap then in a RAID 5 set thinking it will solve
all their problems; it won't.

When a drive fails, and is rebuilt on a hot spare, you have to reconstruct
the data on the new drive from the data and parity stripes residing on the
surviving drives. Now all tree drives are going to be increadibly busy
reading the 2TB of surviving data and writing 1TB to the new drive. It's
not uncomon for second drive to fail on rebuild. It doesn't matter if it
was a hard error or a transient soft error on the second drive failure;
you're toast.

Add to the failure/rebuild woes the same old performance issues with RAID 5
when used for random small block workloads with a low read/write ratio.
Once you figure in the write penalty, a mirror will outperform a 4 drive
RAID 5 set. It gets worse when you ran out and bout those big slow SATA
drives because, well, the're slow; a third or a quarter of the IOPS for
random small block workloads that you would get from SCSI. SAS actually
performs a lot better. If I had a choice between SAS and SATA, I'd go for
SAS every time.

So what are those big slow SATA drives, and RAID 5 for that matter, good
for? Workloads that tend to be more sequential (full stroke) and are read
more often than they are written. UC Santa Cruz did a study on user home
directories in an Engineering company environment. Seems on average, 95% or
so of files written to a home directory was only read twice and one of those
times was almost immediately after it was written (user check to make sure
it's ther or Office application autosave behaviour - take your pick). Big
sequential files, rarely accessed, and read more than they are written. Now
there's a use for those 1TB SATA drives. I'd still go RAID 6 though to
address the second failure on rebuild issue.

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address of any network card and therefore the
equivalent of the IP address of the server it is in, there would be no need
to allow this address to relay because messages generated by the server will

One method is to use WNLB which is fully supported both for the CAS and HT

You can use WNLB since the E2K7 servers in both datacenters will belong to

Word 2013 restarts when I close it

Posted: 14 Mar 2015 12:17 PM PDT

My Word 2013 (all updates on Win 8.1) has suddenly started giving a message "Microsoft Word is trying to recover your information" when I close it. Sometimes it even reopens by itself

I tried a repair - no change.

I then completely uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 and it is still doing it.

It does it when Word is in Safe Mode as well.

I have disabled all addins and in the Trust Center I have stopped any apps from opening. Excel and PowerPoint don't do it.

deleting unwanted figure labels

Posted: 14 Mar 2015 10:40 AM PDT

Somehow I managed to have about 400 figure labels in my document. I really only have 20 figures. What I think happened was that one label was a number and it accepted this as the label number and so it tagged a huge amount of figures labels to this document. 

This will be a burden when I merge this chapter with the other chapters and then try to print out a table of contents. How do I get rid of these labels, is there something in insert caption that will allow me to delete unwanted labels?

Another question how do merge chapters so that I only have one list of references using endnote

You might want to do the same with other software you may need while your

drive is always good backup.

As an aside, I recall one of the news stories from the recent Southern
California fires. The news person was interviewing someone who got out just

hands and he was saying that he had saved all of his important stuff -

Possible Word for iOS 8.1 bug - Revisions being shown even though they're removed

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 02:38 PM PDT

Hi,

I think that I may have encountered a bug in Microsoft Word for iOS 8.1 where revisions are appearing, i.e. in red strike-through text, even though I have done the below:

  1. Accepted all changes via Review > Accept All Changes in Microsoft Word
  2. Used Document Inspector to remove all Comments, Revisions, Versions, Annotations, Document Properties, etc.
  3. Viewed Final Markup and Final versions, and confirmed that no revisions, comments, etc. exist

Oddly enough, I do NOT see revisions using an iPhone running 7.1.2 - the bug is only existing in iOS 8.1.

Is anyone able to provide any insight as to how this can be resolved?

Thanks!

Word 2013 Style Incompatibility

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 12:54 PM PDT

Word 2013 is extremely slow when opening/saving/searching certain large files. This is particularly noticeable when attempting to work with the Doxygen RTF output files for code documentation. When using find/replace macros on said files Word 13 effectively freezes.

1) The files and find-replace macros choking Word 2013 to death will open and run in Word 2010.

2) If the RTF file is opened in WordPad and saved as plain text then Word 2013 can open the .txt file and run all necessary macros.

3) Saving the .rtf file into .doc format does not improve performance.

4) Saving a working .txt file into .doc format does not worsen performance.

5) I have attempt all speed-fixes outlined in this thread with no success. (Disabled graphics acceleration, disabled background saving, etc)

Since the only 'fix' that seems to have worked was striping out all formatting I suspect there might be an incompatibility or gross inefficacy related to an unknown style or format.

Does anyone know if there are any particular styles or formatting options that work in Word 2010 but not in Word 2013? Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a fix with more elegance and less brute force desperation that a pure-text conversion?

For reference, the file that is currently bringing word to a crawl is 25 MB in original .rtf format, 18MB once saved as a .doc, or 11MB if saved as plain text.

I already debugged the macro. It freezes everything as soon as it attempts to run a Find operation in the problematic document. See lines below.

'--------------------------------------------------.

Dim tag As String

tag = GetStringProperty("Trace_ProjectID") & "_" & _

GetStringProperty("Trace_FileID")

Dim rng As Range

set rng = ActiveDocument.Content

While (rng.Find.Execute(tag) = true)

'The above line eats about an hour, per iteration, in the problem document.

'The only time I have seen the macro complete was when a ProjectID typo resulted in no matches.

Templates force US spellchecker

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 12:28 PM PDT

I'm using Office 365 University on Windows 8.1. I've set the Windows default language to Canadian with the US keyboard (because I don't have one of those crazy French Canadian keyboards), and set the Word default language to the same. In both cases, I deleted the US language/spelling dictionary. Yet, whenever I start a new document using a template (such as the APA report I'm using right now), it marks properly spelled words as wrong. New blank documents don't have that problem. Is there something I can do, or I have to put up with adding words like "colour" and "behaviour" to a dictionary I don't even have installed?

MS Word 2010--cross reference hyperlinks don't work when saving as html

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 11:11 AM PDT

I have a large document with thousands of cross references, a TOC and an Index.  When I save the file as html, the TOC and Index hyperlinks continue to work, but the cross reference hyperlinks no longer function.  When I save as a PDF, they do.  I need to share my document in both formats.  Is there a way to make those cross reference links work without manually inserting a hyperlink for each cross reference?  Thanks for any assistance.

Deleting linked text in Word.

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 11:11 AM PDT

In my document I have a list of single line items that link to paragraphs pertaining to each line item.  Instead of scrolling through the document to find the text, I want to be able to delete a line item, and have all the corresponding text deleted at the same time.   

As an example, here is my list (which is at the beginning of the document).  Each one of these items have subsequent paragraphs (including the same title) relevant to the subject.  When I delete each line item, I want the relevant text (could be a single line or multiple paragraphs) to be deleted as well, without scrolling for it.  BTW:  Multi-level numbering (template) is used in this document. 


  1. Piping, tubing, and fittings
  2. Cleanouts
  3. Vents through roof

I am not a Macro wizard, so if the solution requires one, I will need detailed instructions.

Thanks for your help!

Recording macros in Word 2013

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 10:07 AM PDT

I am running Windows 8.1 and Word Home and Student 2013, I am trying to record a bunch of macros (which I used to on a regular basis a few years back, with no problems. I would like to assign keyboard strokes to them (eg: type "yt" which will expand to "Yours Truly," etc). I open the Macro menu; Record macro; name it; save it to normal/all; assign it to the keyboard; But when I go to "Press new shortcut key", it won't let me enter anything. I just get a flashing cursor. If I close this box, it take me to the document to record the keystrokes, but nowhere can I assign the shortcut keys. If I hit run macro, it's there, but again - where do I assign the keystrokes to call up the macro? Any help appreciated!!! Desperately need to test so I can get to work!!!

Using VBA Code to clear information that has been generated by UserForm on Word 2013

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 08:33 AM PDT

Hi,

I am in the process of putting together a standard quote form. I have managed to add a userform, which appears when the document is open and then populates the form using bookmarks.

What I am struggling to figure out is how I go about clearing the information that has been previously added to the document using the Userform.

Also, is it possible for me to use a code to generate a sequential job number.

The ideal plan is to open the master copy of the word document (which shows the next available job number), input the required information into the Userform, which populates the form then press a button which in turn will save a 2 copies (One Word and One PDF) of the form with the Job Number as the Name while clearing master copy and generating next job number ready for the next Quote.

Hope this makes sense, I am a complete beginner when it comes to running these codes and any help or guidance anyone could provide would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

Word Mail Merge TableStart and TableEnd

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 08:29 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a basic record set I am using as an example.

Town and Name are the two Excel fields.

I have created a Directory data source through the wizard.

My code looks like this:

{MERGEFIELD TableStart:Town}{MERGEFIELD Name}{MERGEFIELD TableEnd:Town}

But when I click preview Word tells me that the field "TableStart:Town" does not exist then replaces it with just "Town".

Please help.

Epub support on Microsoft Office Word 2013

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 08:20 AM PDT

To open pdf files, Office Word 2013 converts them to a supportable format.
How can I do the same thing for ePub/Ebook files? 
How can I use them with Office 2013?

How can I get word not to crash my old macros?

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 08:08 AM PDT

I have a Photo Template that was created on Word 2003 I believe.
I tried using it in 2010 and it just wasn't working, I had to alter the code and I'm not that great at it.

I now have 2013 and the original template macros appear to work fine and be compatible and I can navigate them no problem.

However, when I get the Word to run my photos it stops responding on the very first photo and crashes.

I don't know what to do, I just want to know if there is something I need to do to make this macros work.

Thank you!

Using a Fillable Word Form on iPad

My office uses several fillable Word forms that are locked with checkboxes. The forms work great on the computer, but we are starting to use iPads in the field instead of laptops and are finding that the the checkboxes do not work on the iPad. Is there a way to make fillable forms in Word with checkboxes that can be easily filled out on the iPad?

Copied word document issue

I've copied a letter I typed and saved in WORD.

When I edit this copy and save it this also edits the original too.

Am I doing something wrong? 

Error! No text of specified style in document.

Posted: 13 Mar 2015 04:08 AM PDT

Hi

I have added a StyleRef in the header of our normal.dotm in Word 2013.  It should display heading 1.

When a document contains a heading 1, the StyleRef works great.  However, when I open a new document, I see an error as heading 1 is yet to be populated.

"Error! No text of specified style in document."

This does not look good and confuses end-users.  Also, there may be scenarios where a heading 1 is not needed.

Is there away of setting a default value or not display any text until heading 1 is populated?

I copied part of a timely document onto a new document, and accidentally saved the new document under the same name (thinking I was working on the same document).  Now, I lost the hours worth of work I had previously saved under that title.  Is there any way I can restore the original document that had the same title??

Help with multilevel list 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.
