Create a CSV file that contains the following columns: ExternalEmailAddress Name Alias FirstName LastName OrganizationalUnit Then from the Exchange Management Shell run the following command: Import-CSV C:scriptsMyCSV.csv | ForEach-Object{New-MailContact -ExternalEmailAddress $_.ExternalEmailAddress -Name $_.Name -Alias $_.Alias -FirstName $_.FirstName -LastName $_.LastName -OrganizationalUnit $_.OrganizationalUnit}
I just created some new databases on our Exchange 2010 server and moved some BlackBerry users to those new databases. I started getting calls from people saying they weren’t getting emails on the BlackBerry’s. I did some checking and found some event logs on the BES server that said the users could not be started. I did a search and came across a KB article on BlackBerry’s web site. Apparently, you need to run the following command on your Exchange servers when you add new databases. It will grant the needed permissions to the database and its users for the BES Admin account. I thought this was done globally when we setup the Exchange 2010 server, but I guess that isn’t the case.…
WARNING: This is my first review so it may not contain the typical items you may find in some other reviews.
At work we have had a push to try and utilize tablet devices a little more. Our main focus has been on using the iPad 2. It has worked out pretty well. There has been a little bit of a learning curve though and we have had to adapt some of things we do so they would work on the iPad. Overall though, it has been a good experience. However, I wouldn’t be a good technician if I didn’t look at other devices and/or technology as well. So with Microsoft working on it’s new Windows 8 OS, which sounds like it will be very tablet friendly, I thought we should get a Windows-based tablet that we could try out.…
So we have just migrated our users over to Exchange 2010 a couple of months ago. When we started we purchased a new server and set it up with Windows 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010. The plan was to migrate all of our users from the old Exchange 2007 server to the new Exchange 2010 and then rebuild the old one with Exchange 2010 also so we could take advantage of the new DAG options. It all sounded easy enough.…
We had a user that had a very large mailbox (313,000+ items and a size over 50GB) and we couldn’t figure out why. My first thought was that it was a corrupt mailbox and it was just reporting the wrong size. However, when I moved the mailbox to a new server the size remained the same and the move didn’t show any corrupted messages.
I sat down and looked at the mailbox on the users computer and checked the Inbox, Sent Items, and Deleted Items. None of those had any large messages. The largest message may have been 1MB. The user did have a lot of folders, but I didn’t want to take the time to go through each one individually and try to figure out where the messages were at.…
So we have to Cisco ASA 5520’s that we needed upgrade to 512MB of Flash. From looking online it looked like this was simple enough, but I did run into one small problem during the process. Apparently, when we got the new Flash in it wasn’t formatted correctly. When I copied the files to the new flash the ASA would not boot.
Copy the contents from the old ASA Flash:…
When you install Cisco ASDM Launcher on a Windows 7 x64 computer you may run into a problem with the program shortcut. When you do the initial install you are prompted with the login box, but once you close that and try to use the shortcut you may have problems. Here is how to fix it.
Problem:
You double-click the Cisco ASDM Launcher icon on your desktop and you get a box that reads: “Windows is searching for JAVAW.EXE…”.…
The other day my daughter discovered our Wii wouldn’t power on. I was going to give up on it, but did a search and thanks to the site below our Wii is still working. All we needed to do was leave it unplugged for awhile. http://lamme.hubpages.com/hub/My-wii-wont-turn-on-Why-my-wii-wont-power-on Thanks
So I got a new laptop at work the other day. Just like any computer that I get I do a complete wipe and reload from the OS up just because I don’t like all the extra stuff that comes preloaded. So I grab my Windows 7 x64 with SP1 disc and do the install. Everything looks good. I get all the drivers loaded and get it updated. I start installing applications again no problem until I try to install Corel WordPerfect X5. I get through the whole installation and then it tells me my system wasn’t modified.…
At work, we have a few computers that sit in the open that needed to be used to access our website. Here are the steps we followed to lock Internet Explorer down to only our web site.
