Ever had a new user appear in the “All Users” Address list that you can access via your Address Book but that DO NOT APPEAR inside the Global Address Book (GAL)?
These are most likely users that have only recently been added…because the minute that Exchange does it’s standard maintenance window, it [...]
Ever wanted to stop managing a distribution group because you get 90 million requests every other day to add someone or remove someone from said group? Ok, maybe not 90 million but it has to be close to 80 million right? Sometimes you will run across a distribution group that changes its [...]
I previously posted about how to count total number of what I thought was mailboxes on any given server…and today I realized that when I used the command from that post I was coming up with a number just a bit too high for what I was [...]
Dear Microsoft,
Public Folders are way to hard to manage in Exchange 2007/2010. Adding/Removing folders is a pain the neck; even if I’ve got the right permissions, I still don’t have the right permissions. Please fix this immediately.
Yours Truly,

PS: Do something about getting Local Continuous Replication (LCR) in 2010 too? Thanks!
The other day I wanted to get a quick count of how many recipients I had in the enterprise. Of course, I wanted to be able to run a powershell command instead of going into the EMC. I fooled around with the Get-MailboxStatistics command until I got what I wanted and figured it would be [...]
I hit a snag that was a result of my conversion from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. The snag was with global groups. The problem is that global groups cannot be expanded by Exchange…so if you have a distribution list that is a member of a global group it will be grayed out in the [...]
The Problem of Ghost Delegates
There is a problem with Microsoft Exchange 2003 and delegates. When users are deleted, their delegate or send on behalf attributes are not deleted with them.
This problem has been around since Exchange 5.5 and possibly before and it’s REALLY annoying. [...]
I had a problem since our migration from Exchange 2003. The problem was a handful of users were not appearing on our Global Address List.
Tracking down what was going on has taken me quite a long time despite Microsoft KB articles published on the matter. The solution posted by Microsoft in this instance just [...]
Brian Desmond’s blog has an excellent tip on how to create an ActiveSync Device Report. I’ve been looking for a way to do this and hacked together a long powershell command and then found his tip via my feedreader. I’m going to include it here in case the permalink [...]
My grandfather always says to work “smarter and not harder” which is 1930′s speak for be more efficient.
Why couldn’t Microsoft have listened to him (and all the other grandpa’s of the world who say the same aphorism)?
I had a user come in the other day with a Windows Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2. [...]
