Direct File access feature supported in OWA 2010 ?

It is an orphan that will be removed from EMC is a future update. The feature itself has been removed from 2010, you can no longer access SharePoint or file servers through OWA. There is still "direct file" access in OWA, but in the spirit of being able to directly open an attachment without being forced to use the web viewer.Brian Day, Overall Exchange & AD Geek

Thanks

No problem Yasser.
Once you have created a policy with the settings you require you can apply it to a user (or multiple users) by using either the ECP or using the shell:
In ECP there are 2 ways:
1. Select the mailbox (or mailboxes) then select "View Details" under "Email Connectivity". This will open a dialog allowing you to apply the relavant owa policy.
2. Edit the mailbox and navigate to "Mailbox Features". Then select "View Details" under "Email Connectivity". This will open a dialog allowing you to apply the relavant owa policy.
In Shell:
Set-CASMailbox -Identity <email address> -OwaMailboxPolicy:<owa policy name>
If you need to do multiple mailboxes using the shell you can pipe it through a Get-CASMailbox command.

ASM Direct file access (for creating standby database in Standard Edition)

Hi all,
Just really looking for any opinions, experience etc. that people may have about this.
My company are looking to set up a RAC system. They have also asked me to think about creating a standby database for disaster recovery. The first problem they give me here is that they only pay for Standard Edition of Oracle, therefore Dataguard is not an option.
I know that one can setup "manual" standby databases with Standard Edition, automating the shipping of archive logs with hand-written scripts etc. However, as the primary here is RAC, and will be using ASM on the shared storage, I'm not sure that this would be possible (and I'm even less sure that it would be desirable!). I say this because I don't know of a way to access (using only the O/S and/or Oracle) the database files stored in ASM, and even if there was a way, I can't imagine it being a good idea..
Anybody know of a way to tackle it, or care to contribute anything to this? As I say, my opinion is that even if it is possible to get to those files within ASM and hence manipulate them, I'd be worried that it wouldn't be such a good idea. But I'm willing to bet I'm not the first to have thought about it...
Regards,
Ados
Edit 1:
Sorry, I should state that in principal, the basic environment is:
Windows 2003 Server
Oracle 10g R2
I didn't state that originally though, as I'd be keen to hear from anyone who may have attempted this on any O/S and Oracle version.
Edited by: Ados on 16-sep-2009 9:32
Edit 2:
I also realise we could put the archive logs on the local nodes.. but to reinforce the point, I'm talking about having them on the shared storage where - in theory - the management is easier and more effective.
Edited by: Ados on 16-sep-2009 9:35

For anyone interested..
I guess it would be done using RMAN (in fact, I'm sure of it...) in which case, I feel a lot more comfortable doing it!!
For example:
backup as copy archivelog ALL to destination 'c:\temp\';
This way, it shouldn't matter if the arch logs are stored using ASM, we can now get them and "see" them.. and hence "manipulate" them (pass them on to a standby DB, for example).
I'm just waiting to get my hands on a Standard Edition installation where I can test all this.. To try it all out (with 2-node RAC, and a standby server) I don't think I'll get a chance, so still interested in opinions, or if anyone's actually done this.

Ados

Verizon Chat advises pdf attachment non-download from AOL email is a software problem and directs me to Apple Support. I see "can't access cellular data network" in an instant before the file's icon turns into the file's name.

Verizon Chat advises pdf attachment non-download from AOL email is a software problem and directs me to Apple Support. I see "can't access cellular data network" in an instant before the file's icon is replaced by the file's name. In Inbox three emails in a row show there is an attachment. My iPad 3rd gen. runs 7.1.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

All plugins uptodate but on upload file get "USING one of the supported browser with latest Adobe Flash is required to experience enhanced file upload features

I am freelancer. When I tried to upload files on elance it give following error and disable the upload button:using one of the supported browser with latest Adobe flash is required to experience enhanced file upload features.
All plugins are up to date. Flash version 11.7 installed.

I assume Firefox 19 worked fine on the site?
Some sites may be mistakenly identifying Firefox 20 as Firefox 2, which is a very old version they probably no longer support. As a test, you could "lie" to the site about your Firefox version and see whether that little deception works.
This take a minute to set up. Here's how:
(1) Select and copy the following preference name to the clipboard:
general.useragent.override.elance''.''com
(2) In a new tab or window, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(3) In the filter box, type '''override''' and pause while the list is filtered
(4) Make sure '''general.useragent.site_specific_overrides''' is set to its default value of true (or right-click and choose Reset if it is not).
(5) Right-click anywhere in the preference list area and choose
New > String
then paste the preference name you copied. Click OK and enter TEMP or asdf or any text as a temporary placeholder. You should see the preference added in bold. Leave about:config open and switch back to this tab.
(6) Select and copy the following useragent string to the clipboard ''(it's all one line)'':
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
(That's Firefox 19 on Windows 7 32-bit)
(7) In about:config, double-click '''general.useragent.override.elance''.''com''' and paste to replace the temporary text with the new useragent string. Click OK, you're done here.
Now try reloading a page where you need to upload (use Ctrl+Shift+r) and test that function again. Any change?

Do we have any third party FLEX component libraries to support accessibility feature for all the components(like: ViewStack, ToggleButtonBar, charts and etc..) ?

I am working on FLEX 4.6 SDK it provides 35 components with built in accessibility support. My Application contains some components which have no built in accessibility support but I need to provide accessibility support for those components too. I have gone through the Flex docs to customize the non accessible components to support accessibility feature, But the docs where not clear. To customize a single component I have to overwrite lot of code in SDK level.
and it takes lot of effort.
So, I would like to use FLEX component libraries which provides accessibility support for all the component.
Could you please guide me how can I provide accessibility support for other components with out putting more effort on it.
Thanks in advance...

Direct File System access problems from JAWS application

Hello,
I have built a Web Start application that consists of a Webserver (Jetty) ,
a WAR file and a Java (main) class that deploys the web application on
the server and starts the server. It all works fine, apart from the fact
that I am getting java.security.AccessControlExceptions when I try to
access the local filesystem or system variables like the java.io.tmpdir.
I have signed all the jar files and I included the<security> <allpermissions />
</security> tag in the jnlp file. Still, I can't seem to get out
of the sandbox.
I have read in this article (http://mindprod.com/jgloss/javawebstart.html)
that direct file system access from a Web Start application is impossible
(Quote: "There is still no way for even a signed JAWS app to
find some persistent disk space in an easy way. It pretty well
has to ask the user for the name of some directory to use.")
Is this true?
Thank you,
Peter

Hi Guys,
I found a way to access the local filesystem...
Besides signing all the jar files and including the<security><allpermissions /></security> tag in the jnlp file I have to include this line in the code I execute on the client machine:
System.setSecurityManager(null);

Peter

I have another issue. Everytime I add a new mailbox , I get an error message in owa 2010 that it cannot access the mailbox

I go into the 2008 r2 dc and add a user. The 2003 dc has all of the fsmo roles. Then I go into the exchange server and add the new mailbox through the GUI. It runs the cmdlet and creates the new mailbox without any errors. Then I go in and try to access
the mailbox through owa and cannot access the mailbox. It says the mailbox does not exist. Both my 2003 dc(which I want to decommission) and 2008 servers are replicating. I see the user object on both servers. I have the email server pointed to the 2003 dns
server as my preferred dns. This just started happenning a couple of days ago. I dont know if a windows update caused this but everything was fine before Wednesday. All of the other users can access their mailboxes through owa just any new ones I created cannot.
In fact when I send a test email to the new account, I immediately get a bounce back so I dont think I would be able to access the new mailbox through outlook.
visualbasicfrustrated

Hello,
I recommend you check your exchange server using windows server 2003 DC or windows server 2008 DC.
Please use repadmin /showrepl command to check DC replication status.
Please check if there is related error in application log.

Conversation view in OWA 2010 - Super-duper slow expansion

Hello,
I know it has been asked countless time to disable conversation in OWA and that it can't be done. I think it's a great feature but the problem we face is that conversation expansion take a very (very) long time, sometimes looping forever when access externally
through TMG 2010. This give users the feeling that OWA 2010 is unusable and they have to use the "light" interface to be able to get any work done.
Internally, everything is lightning fast but through TMG 2010 I can count the sheeps before the conversation expand (from 2.5 seconds to 10+ seconds).
I've been googling for months around the problem without finding any answer. To clarify, everything else is working fine (message preview is fast, folder browsing is fast, etc). The problem is that users try to double-click to open a message instead of using
the preview pane actions (which expand the conversation). After the delay (that sometimes get stuck and loop forever) they have to double click the message again to finally be able to reply and/or read it.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

I can honestly say that, being a member of the ISA/TMG team at Microsoft, I have worked tons of OWA Publishing issues through both ISA and TMG. I have never once heard a customer report this particular issue. I disagree with Xiu when he says he suspects
a TMG configuration issue. Usually the TMG configuration is pretty cut and dry. It either works or it doesn't. The fact that everything else but conversations works fine is another factor that leads me to believe TMG is not the culprit here. Whenever there
are performance related issues where something is "slow" it is most often a symptom of something else that is wrong in the environment. It could be networking issues, it could be too much load on the Exchange servers, it could be bad NIC drivers, etc. There
are a whole lot of variables involved.
I think the heart of your question was is there a way to disable Conversations in OWA. That is certainly a question for the Exchange folks because there is no way to disable this through TMG.
The bottom line is that this is a pretty complex issue and will be very difficult, if not impossible, to troubleshoot via this forum. My recommendation is that you open a support case with Microsoft originating with the Exchange team. They can pull in the
TMG team as needed. You are going to need to get traces from "end to end" to figure out exactly where the slowdown is occurring. This will involve a tool such as HTTP Watch on the client, Netmon captures taken on all involved adapters on TMG, and Netmon captures
taken on the Exchange servers as well. Additionally you will probably need to temporarily bridge your traffic between TMG and Exchange to HTTP so the traces can be read and conversations followed. It will still be encrypted between TMG and Client and that
is what HTTP Watch will help us with.
You may get lucky and someone that had this exact issues see it and responds but it sounds like you have already put a lot of hours in trying to figure this out. It would probably be worth the price of a Support Incident at this point.

Hi Subhash,
I have done the troubleshooting but I didn't find any problem at server side. I will send you mail also with all EXBPA report and as well DC, HC and Mailbox servers' Application Log and System Log.
Below are the questions's answers which was asked by you:
1.     Please check whether you can send email via Outlook.
I am not able to open the MS Outlook. Please check all details in this thread : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/c491c5c7-7d6f-48ff-97fa-6bf83d94e53c
2.     Please run EXBPA to have a health scan.
I have run the EXBPA and didn't see any critical Problem. I have took the screen shot and report. Please have a look in below screen shot link:

The error which I received in EXBPA, that allready ignored by you and told that it is bug in EXBPA. Have a look here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/d4bb03bb-db84-4a8b-83ba-19937d7dcacf
3.     Please check application log, whether any error event logged there. They could come from ADAccess related error or etc.
I didn't see any ADAccess event on the server. For this I have left my lab PC open and I will check again.
4.     We find that if mail .que gets corrupt, then this issue will occur, please try to move the affected user to another store and then test the issue.
I am facing this problem with all users (7 users). Anyway I moved one user from one server Mailbox Database (2mbx2010) to Other Server Mailbox Database (mbx2010). After that
a) Rebooted the Workstation
b) Login successfully with same user.
c) Delete the Old MS Outlook Profile
d) Create New profile for same user without any problem.
e) Tried to login in MS Outlook and got the same error. : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/c491c5c7-7d6f-48ff-97fa-6bf83d94e53c
f) Open the OWA successfully for Same user.
g) Tried to send mail but again mail went to Drafts Folder.
5.     I noticed that you test the issue after you close outlook. I recommend you to reboot your pc and then access
mailbox via OWA to test the issue.
I tried you suggested option, but sorry it also couldn't help.
6. You also check your disk space.
     All Servers have Enough Disk Space. Check the EXBPA Report.
7. You may run EXTRA to get log information for further troubleshooting.
Need more time for this.
8. Please save application log, system log as *.evt file, then send them with EXTRA,EXBPA report to [email protected] .
   I have sent it as your mentioned mail address OR, you can get the mentioned log from below link also:
   a) http://cid-31ba948d0da4d57e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/WDC2010%7C_APPLICATION.evtx           - DC/GC Application Log

There will be some error log you will be that the system is not able to communicate with DC/DC, MBX or HC at everyday around 3 AM or some time 6 PM Evening also. These error came because I have installed VM on Windows 7 Workstation and after 45 min or one hrs. if I don't work on PC, then pc goes to sleep. so you may ignore these alerts.
I hope my answer will give you some clue and I expect more help from your side.

Server 2008r2 and windows 7 pro slow to no networkshare file searching and file access (green progress bar)

we are running a windows server 2008r2 sp1 domain controller and a 3com gigabit switch to which 7 windows 7 pro computers are connected. We are only using the windows server to distribute a few printers and as a network share (z drive).
we are storing all files (word documents only) centrally on the server (z share), and files are accessed and written to the z share.
Problem is that file access from the z share on the windows 7 client computers is at best buggy. we are able to browse the z-share, but as soon as we want to search the z-share for files (f.i. use file explorer with "content: memorandum") the green
progress bar shows and no search is performed. something like alphabetically sorting a directory on map/file name on the z-share also shows a green bar with no sorting. manually going to the files works.
One thing i noticed, sometimes not all files that one user created and stored on the server is visible and can be found by another user. I prefer to disable all offline file caching setting, because that feature is not used. no files should be made accessible
offline. i don't know where to change that on the server side.
I am reluctant to experiment on the server end (2008r2 sp1), so i tried a few suggested solutions on the client end (windows 7 client)
I tried disabling offline file caching
i tried properties (z share) ==> advanced and map optimizing and several options there
i tried disabling the smbv2 protocol and disabling the smbv1 protocol (using
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi command etc. posted by microsoft)
i tried disabling windows defender
i tried accessing the z share via ip and server name (the share is mapped via its servername, e.g. dennis-dc1\share). still the same
file searching on the clients c drive ('own harddrive') works much better, file searching on the server also works.
any suggestions or solutions that i can test on the client side, as mentioned i am reluctant to change something on the server side. if a solutions works, i prefer to change it on the server side.

Hi,
The issue could be due to windows indexing service taking long time in sorting and searching in mapped drives. Please try the steps belwo to disable windows indexing service or search service on the windows 7 client to resolve the issue.
You can click on Start and select Control Panel, click on
Programs and Features, go into the Turn Windows Features on or off section Scroll down the list and uncheck the box next to Indexing Service or Windows Search.
Best Regards,
Mandy
