I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournal Article about 318 on Apple.com, focusing on a project we did integrating Kerio to replace Microsoft Exchange, giving our client the ability to centralize all of their server assets into an Open Directory environment while still using MAPI to provide groupware components to their user base, have handheld devices that sync with their Calendar/Mail/Contacts and of course, use the standard Exchange features of mail, etc. Good stuff: http://consultants.apple.com/at_a_glance/318inc/

Entourage 2004 and Exchange 2003
I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournal Microsoft Entourage interacts with Microsoft Exchange differently than a typical Microsoft Office client. There are some fundamental concerns that an organization should have when using Entourage with Exchange. One difference that is important to point out early in the process is the fact that Microsoft Entourage can cause Exchange database files to become bloated with streaming information in the *.stm files that is not otherwise needed. There are 3 ways to combat this when/if it occurs: 1) Run a eseutil command while the database is stopped to defrag the database. When using eseutil you will need a minimum amount of freespace available that is…

Exchange 2007: OWA Virtual Directories from PowerShell
Get a list of all of your virtual directories from PowerShell using this command: Get-OwaVirtualDirectory If you are having an issue with a specific virtual directory then you can delete it using this command: Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory “owa (Default Web Site)†In the above command we used owa but we could have also used Exchange, Public, Exchweb or Exadmin. To recreate the directory use the following command (again replacing owa in the “” portion of the command with the specified virtual directory you are recreating: New-OwaVirtualDirectory -OwaVersion “Exchange2007″ -Name “owa (Default Web Site)†Because Exchange, Public, Exchweb and Exadmin are not native to Echange 2007 then you would actually replace Exchange2007 with Exchange2003or2000.…

Exchange 2007: Using PowerShell To Create A Database
As the title implies, you can create an Exchange database through PowerShell in Exchange 2007. To do so you would use the New-MailboxDatabase command. When you use this command you will need to identify the name of the server and the server’s storage group to put the database on followed by the name of the database. For example the following command would create an Exchange database called YOURMOMSMAIL on KryptedServer in the Second Storage Group: New-MailboxDatabase -StorageGroup “KryptedServerSecond Storage Group” -Name “YOURMOMSMAIL”
