CRM2011 and Exchange 2007 (why to upgrade the Exchange server??)
Hi,
Does anyone have any thoughts benefits for CRM 2011 or 13/15 and upgrading the Exchange server from 2007? What would be benefits to CRM if we upgraded from Exchange 2007?
I see that CRM 2015 is not supported on Exchange 2007. Was wondering what other benefits would be there
There are lot of benefits to migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. The best place to start would be to take a look at the new features in Exchange 2013. the introduction of DAGs in Exchange 2010 and continuation of the DAG in Exchange 2013
and the changes to CAS and Mailbox roles are just a few of the benefits.

As benefits of updating CRM, I suggest you post that in the forum below.

Upgrading from SBS 2008 and Exchange Server 2007 and Adding Modest Failover Protection
I haven't seen anyone describe this scenario, so maybe it can't be done, but it seems it should work. Can someone either confirm this is viable or set me straight and tell me it's not wise (and if not, why not).
I currently have SBS 2008 (2008 Server + Exchange Server 2007 + some other components). I use redirected folders so all my user data is stored primarily on the server, and then sync'd with their local harddrives for roaming use and as an additional
backup precaution. I want to upgrade to a modern version of Exchange (don't care too much about the underlying server OS, but seems like a good time to upgrade everything). I also want to improve the reliability for rapid recovery in the event of a system
failure. I have always felt nervous with SBS because it only runs on a single server.
My plan is:
Install Windows Server 2012 Standard on a new server machine
Join that new server to the existing SBS domain and sync the users, etc.
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the new 2012 Server
Migrate the existing Exchange data and account info to the new server
Demote the SBS Server and promote the new server to primary DC
Reformat the old SBS server and install Windows Server 2012 on it too, and join it to the domain as a second DC
Set up DFS Replication and keep all my user data folders between the two servers (so if one server fails, the other can take over, just not automatically like with a cluster)
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the reformatted 2012 Server box (so second instance on the domain) and set it up to sync with the first Exchange Server 2013 via DAG (so if either computer crashes, the other can take over for both Exchange Server and file
services)
Wouldn't that give me a complete slow-response failover system without the need for setting up a cluster (I know a cluster would provide instant failover protection, but I don't need that kind of speed - a manual switchover in the rare event of a server
failure is acceptable for us)? I could do this using cheap hardware for each server, because unless both servers fail at the same time, clients can point to the other server. And because it's not a formal cluster, I don't need to buy anything for a shared
SAN. This seems like such an obvious more cost-effective solution for a small network, I don't understand why this isn't a common approach, which makes me wonder if there is some reason it won't work.
Any suggestions or feedback? Are Redirected Folders still recommended for users on a Server 2012-based domain?
Thanks,
Colin
ColinEd, thanks again for your help. OK, so here's my updated plan (I realize I should probably check on some of these pieces on the Server group, instead of this Exchange group).
Constraints/objectives:
None of the machines are truly server grade hardware, but only 5 people on the network, so performance is generally not an issue, unless a given server is just pegged on CPU or HD due to its own internal maintenance tasks and can't respond to user requests.
Haven't seen any problems, since upgrading server from 4GB RAM to 8GB a few years ago.
Not going to buy any new hardware at this time, but do have several unused consumer-grade computers I can deploy as wimpy or moderate servers.
Main issue is to limit repair time in the event of a system failure (instant failover is not required, but want to be able to restore network functions within less than 24 hours in the event of a hardware failure) and minimize time spent on IT
maintenance.
Because of light IT maintenance (not anyone's primary job and we're too small to justify a dedicated IT person or to pay for outside help), almost every touch takes me research and time to re-learn what I haven't done in weeks, months, or years -- so also
want to keep all IT tasks as simple as possible.
We philosophically want to invest now for the next 5 years and avoid ongoing cloud fees (so zero interest in Windows Server Essentials with Exchange Online)
A little nervous about using VM's, just because I never have before, but I do respect that's probably the right way to do many of these things...
Currently I have SBS 2008 (Windows Server 2008 R2, Exchange Server 2007, WSUS 3, all with latest SP's, also includes SharePoint and other stuff, but I don't really care about most of it) on a single 8GB consumer grade system, which functions as a file
server and Exchange server. We use Redirected Folders and Offline files for all users, which works great for us and provides additional file redundancy (if server goes down, all of each user's files are also on their own machine and they can even continue
to work just fine w/o the server, losing only ability to send and receive e-mail). It has been sufficient, but I want to upgrade our version of Exchange and I am nervous that if that current one server fails, it would take me a long time to restore everything
from backup, easily many days, especially if I need to buy any replacement hardware. It is RAID1, so a single drive failure is easy to handle, but that's the only hardware redundancy for the current server.
New Plan:
Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a new modest machine (16GBR RAM, Core i7, 1TB RAID1 (may upgrade to 3 or 4 TB), 256 GB SSD boot drive, this had been my old personal computer)
Join that new server to the existing SBS domain (2008 R2/Exchange 2007), make it a DC, sync the users, etc.
Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a wimpy computer (4GB RAM Core i3 processor), leave it as a member server
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the wimpy new 2012 R2 Server (and nothing else, this will be dedicated to Exchange to make the most of such a wimpy machine)
Migrate the existing Exchange data from the old SBS Exchange 2007 server and account info to the new server
(or should I just create new accounts and copy the data from the user end through Outlook -- is that safer and cleaner than attempting any kind of server-level Exchange data migration?)
Demote the old SBS Server and promote the new 16GB server to primary DC. Now it's OK to take the old SBS server off the network.
Reformat the old SBS server and install Windows Server 2012 R2 on it too, and join it to the domain as a second DC (and possibly DCPROMO it to be the main server)
Install Exchange Server 2013 in a VM on the reformatted 2012 R2 Server box (so second instance on the domain for Exchange redundancy) and set it up to sync with the first Exchange Server 2013 via DAG OR set up another physical wimpy member server and install
it there. In any case, do NOT install Exchange directly on either DC.
Set up DFS Replication or a Failover Cluster (still need to research this, but I had planned on DFS, thinking Cluster required shared drive, but Ed corrected me on this) between the two DC's for redirected files and keep all my user data folders between
the two servers. We don't need automatic failover, like with a cluster, a manual switch would be acceptable, but if no additional cost or risk to clustering the two DC's, then the auto-failover protection that provides would be better than DFS.
I think this incorporates all of your points, Ed. Does this sound right now? What's your advice on #5 (how to best migrate user data)?
Thanks so much for all your help,

HI, I HAVE A MacBook Pro 2.3GHz dual-core Intel i5 AND I WAN'T TO UPGRADE THE HARD DRIVE UP TO 750GB AND ALSO THE RAM MEMORY TO 8GB. WHAT SPECIFIC MODEL OF HARD DRIVE AND RAM MEMORY SHOULD I BUY??? THANKS
No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,

I cannot sync contacts between my iPhone 4s and MacBook Pro after I upgraded the Mac with the latest operating system software upgrade. Even the Mac Store couldn't help...
That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

I've a hp 2530p and I'd want to upgrade the HD with a seagate momentus xt 750gb hybrid.
I'm not sure if I can for the interface, voltage, etc...etc...
this is the model without dvdrom and with 160gb (I believe 7200rpm) and 3 usb.
thank you for your replyrossinando wrote:

My version is without DVDrom. To the place of of optical drive I've the HDD of 160gb (7200rpm) and the third usb port.
I should have the possibility to install a second 1,8" HDD in the drive bay under the battery that in this moment is empty (I have controlled).
I've opened the drive bay but I don't find the SATA II link.
It could be seen strange but I didn't find the socket for the HDD... is it possible?

Can BO XI and CE 10 be installed on the same server?
We are preparing to upgrade our existing CE 10 to BO XI; however, we were unable to obtain a test server and will need to install it on the same server that CE 10 resides on (our development server). I heard that both versions could not reside on the same server and I need this confirmed by a SME. Thank you. ~emoreno
Tim,
I'm not sure that my question was answered. I just need to know whether CE10 and BO XI can be installed on the same server? I have a development server (not a VM) with CE 10 and another customer wants to install BO XI on the same server. I heard through other sources that BO XI and CE 10 cannot reside on the same server. I need to know if this statement is accurate? If BO XI cannot reside on the same server as CE 10, then our contracted vendor will have to provide t this customer with a different server. I need this information confirmed in order to notify my management.
Thanks...EMoreno -
Deploying Windows Server 2012 and Exchange Server 2013
Hi All,
Our Clinet is planning to implement Exchange Server 2013 as an email solution. There is no Active Directory Domain exists in the environment. So, we have planned to configure a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard as a Domain Controller and Exchange
Server 2013 Standard would be installed on another Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
The setup would be for 250 users. Please guide me about the Cost of OS + Exchnage and CAL for 250 Users.
Warm Regards,
Prosenjit Sen
Thanks & Regards, Prosenjit Sen.Another option would be to consider signing up for Office 365 instead of setting up the hardware and software for such a small number of users. It will take a long time for the cost of the hardware, maintenance, and support to be less costly than Office
365, if it would ever be less expensive. There is a lot of maintenance required for Exchange, so unless your client already has someone experienced in configuring and maintaining Exchange, there is a lot of expense in bringing someone up to speed to
perform those functions capably.
Just a suggestion. I do not work for Microsoft and I have no financial incentive to propose an Office 365 environment. I just know that if I were running my own business, I would have to be convinced that my business required its own internal
mail system when there are so many fully functional and capable mail systems available via subscription.

I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.' Can somebody help me please? I have to get my website online..Thank you!
Hello Els,
it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!

Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable. -
why it says The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. when I sending pictures from iPhoto to my e-mail.
Have you tried to delete the account from your Preferences and to Re-Enter it? That usually will help.
If not, try to use "Mail.app" as mail client in iPhoto and not iPhoto. Change the the stting in the Preferences > General tab to "Email photos using Mail". This is usually more robust thanthe setting "iPHoto". -
Hi everyone,
We need help on the configuration of our Exchange server and VLAN.
Since I'm a beginner in VLAN configurations.
We are using Cisco SG300 switch and Exchange server.
We have 2 NICs on our server, with 1 having a static Public(internet) IP for internet which is directly connected to our ISP modem(complete with IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS), the other NIC has a static Local(intranet) IP for local network(with IP Address and Subnet Mask only).
Our Problem is we cannot add an Default Gateway on the 2nd NIC(intranet) because it says conflict with the gateway specified on the other NIC.
We want to add a Default Gateway on the 2nd NIC(intranet) to be become accessible from other VLANs.
How can the server be accessible to other different VLANs on our network?
What will be the best approach on this?
Thanks in advance.
JYou should add routes to your windows routing table.
So if your server is in VLAN 10.10.10.0/24 and has the IP of 10.10.10.2 and your router is 10.10.10.1 then you can add routes to all your VLANs by adding the networks and routing them through 10.10.10.1.
For example, in your command prompt on Windows you would type:
route -p ADD 10.10.11.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
route -p ADD 10.10.12.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
route -p ADD 10.10.13.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
That would make your computer access all the internal VLANs as well as make it reachable from those VLANs. -

So i restarted my iPod and it is telling me that the activation server could not be reached. And I don't know how to fix it. Please help!!
Maybe this is applicable
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
This says the Activation Servers are on-line

Basically my fone just decided to say invalid sim so by looking on the internet ive restored my device, after doing this it still came up with no service and invalid sim, itunes say that the activtion server is down at the mo, i wanted to know wen the activtion server will be back online and will it solve my problem with no service and invalid sim error
I was quite surprised by that. And I've been off for a little because I've been giving final exams at the college where I work. Now with break I will be spending a little more time on here until I have to start getting ready for the Spring semester. I have experienced a couple of interesting posters in the past week though. I wa afraid one was going to reach through the CAT 5 and grab me around the neck.
