Newbie needs some direction with Exchange Server 2007

I am in school and I have been given an assignment that is kinda hard for me. I am not asking for answers but I am asking for direction. If you guys can point me to some research that will help me It would be much appreciated.
Here is the scenario:
Your organization plans to open a remote location that requires a server to host Exchange Server 2007
with the CAS, Hub Transport, UM, and Mailbox roles. Your Senior Administrator has assigned you the
task of choosing the hardware to support this server. Using the links below and internet research, design
a server capable of hosting the previously mentioned roles and 1,000 mailboxes. Choose a processor,
hard drive, and RAM.
Here are the questions associated with the scenario:
Questions
1. What is the total cost of the server you designed?
2. Would you recommend a multiple core processor? If so, why or why not?
3. What is the minimum amount of RAM necessary?
4. Would you recommend a RAID setup? If so, what RAID level? If not, what would you suggest for
fault tolerance.
Your guidance and expertise is much appreciated. Just point me in the right direction for research....

Hi Mikenater,
Thank you for your question.
1. What is the total cost of the server you designed?
A:the total cost depend on the price of hardware and software in your country, we didn’t give an exact answer.
2. Would you recommend a multiple core processor? If so, why or why not?
A: I suggest we use the multiple core processor, because Exchange consume much hardware resources. including CPU,RAM and so on, when we use multiple core processor, Exchange will deal with a mount of request without no response. It is convent for us to manage
Exchange server.
3. What is the minimum amount of RAM necessary?
A: AS you said that a server to host Exchange Server 2007 with the CAS, Hub Transport, UM, and Mailbox roles. The minimum amount of RAM is 4GB. However, if there are 1000 mailbox, we suggest the RAM is higher, we could refer to
the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738124(v=exchg.80).aspx
4. Would you recommend a RAID setup? If so, what RAID level? If not, what would you suggest for fault tolerance.
A: Exchange 2007 have high availability for database, for example LCR,CCR,Scc or SCR, we could refer to the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124721(v=exchg.80).aspx
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

I have problems to connect iCal 6.0 (Mountain Lion) with Exchange Server 2007

I used ICal with Exchange Server 2007 without problems with Lion. After I adopted Mountain it has been impossible to use ICal and I have obliged to use Outlook because It was not possible to connect ICal with Server.
I reinstalled Mountain and rebuilt Outlook data base, canceled cache and so on but without results. How cn I do?

I was having problems with this too. I remember it working okay in iOS 7 and then it breaking in iOS 8.
Fortunately, I'm now on the iOS 8.1 beta, and can confirm it's working fine for me. Just how it used to. - I guess that's one of the bugs that Apple's new software will bust. We'll just have to wait it out.

Mail / Calendar with Exchange Server 2007

Hi all,
We have a problem with Apple Mail and Calendar (Mountain Lion) connected to an Exchange Server 2007.
Apple Mail for no reason doesn't show the available data on the server. At first all goes right but after a few hours the data get corrupt. Folders disappear, mails aren't shown, ... The folders and mails are there in the server. I can check that with Outlook for Mac or on a collegues machine on Windows.
I tried:
- deleting the mail cache and mail data and restart
- removing the accounts and setting them up again
- creating a new user and trying mail in that user
None of those solved my problem.
Apple Calendar doesn't sync its data correctly. Example:
I create an event in calendar A. From that event I onvite calendar B to join the event. So far, so good. Everything just syncs fine. Then for some reason I delete the event from calendar A. In the server the event is still there. I checked in Outlook. This error is reproducable.
I tried:
- naming the user to <WORKGROUP>\<user>
- deleting the calendar cache and calendar data
None of those solved my problem.
Can anybody help me with this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
The configuration I think you have is MS Exchange on the back end fronted (to the Internet) by Outlook Web Access (OWA). As such, Blackberry Internet Service is the interface between OWA and the BB...there is no direct interaction between the BB and the Exchange server. As such, only email will reconcile wirelessly in this configuration. Calendar, contacts, and other items must be reconciled via USB/BT tether.
Now, that said, there is a free solution to do what you desire -- it's called BES Express. BES is BlackBerry Enterprise Solution and provides OTA sync of email, calendar, contacts, etc. Full BES is not free. But BES-X is. If you truly require full reconciliation of all things from Exchange, I recommend you research BES-X.
Good luck!

Hidden Contact Subfolders are visible on iPhone after sync with Exchange Server 2007

Hello,
We have encountered an issue where synchronizing the iPhone with Contacts from an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox, causes hidden contact subfolders (from Outlook) to be visible and appear in the Groups list in the Contacts App on the iPhone. This does not occur with Exchange Server 2010 mailboxes.
We have a 3rd party application that creates hidden subfolders in the default Contacts folder on Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes. The hidden folders do not display in the Outlook client, Blackberry or on an Android phone. We did see that they were showing up in Outlook Web Access until we applied this Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 Rollup 2 patch unto the Exchange server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2210042 - A sub contact folder is still visible after you set the "PR_ATTR_HIDDEN" attribute to "True" in an Exchange Server 2007 environment.
After the patch was applied, the hidden contacts do not show up anywhere else. However, when we synced the mailbox to an iPhone and synced existing contacts, all of the hidden folders appear in the Contact Groups list. Is there a way to hide the hidden sub contact folders on the iPhone and prevent them from appearing in the Contact Group lists?
Any help provided would be most appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards

Hi SBuchan,
I have an open case with Microsoft about it. It is an issue with ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 that sends the hidden objects. Microsoft tried to resolve this in Exchange 2010 by sending a delete message after sending the hidden objects to remove them from the device. Am awaiting to see if they will approve a design change to Exchange 2007 ActiveSync to prevent the synching of hidden objects.

Agenda Syncronization with Exchange server 2007

I am unable to syncronize the agenda throug iSync...
I am trying to connect to an Exchange Server 2007 OWA, which default url is:
https://server/owa
We are using windows authentication too...
The Agenda and iSync don't show any kind of error... it just won't sync...
Is there anything else i can do?

iSync is for syncing Contacts and Calendars to mobile phones and PDAs.
It doesn't actually sync with any Exchange Servers (although, once setup, you can use the iSync menu bar item "Sync Now" to manually initiate a sync - that's all).
Are you referring to the "Synchronize with Exchange" option in the *Address Book* application?
If so, the *Address Book* forum is here:

Mail with Exchange Server 2007

About a week ago our company upgraded from Exchange Server 2003 to 2007. Since Mail is more or less not working anymore. As soon I send an email Mail hangs. It tries to send the mail forever. As soon Mail check for new emails, this will hang too. After that point, I can not even look at emails already downloaded to my computer. Instead of the text, I only get an icon "loading".
Has anybody had the same experience. And even more important, maybe a fix. Working with Parallels and Outlook is a pain in the a. I don not have Entourage.
Thanks for your input.

Go to your Exchange accounts web access (OWA) and see if the mail in Mail matches the Mail in OWA.

ICal crash with Exchange Server 2007

We started using a MS Exchange Server recently for our agenda's. I'm using iCal for years in MobileMe connection, without any problem. Now iCal crashes every few minutes. Can anybody explain me where the problem might be?

Make sure you pulled the plists in conjunction with the caches while iCal was quit and then restarted.
If the issue persists at that point, reset your sync history: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26867.html
If the issue persists at that point we should find out if this is a user specific issue or a system wide issue.
__Create a new user account on the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
__Login to the new user and set it up for your exchange server and test.

I need some help with my server's permissions asap!

Well, I am here for a reason as you can tell from my subject. Before I ask my question, I will explain my setup so you have a better understanding of what I am trying to do.
I have an intel iMac running Mac OS X Server 10.5. It is setup at home with about 4-5 services running for personal use. It is an Open Directory Master machine. I have clients setup to connect to the server and everything is running well, except for USER permissions. I have TWO partitions on the machine. One is smaller than the other. The first one has my system files along with applications/local users. The second one is used for network home directories and backup storage. So there is only a bootable system on the first partition. Now for my questions:
I know as time goes on, user permissions or even system permissions modify and need to be "repaired" using Disk Utility. I am able to successfully repair the system permissions, but I CANNOT repair network user home folders on the second partition because there is no OS installed on it. If you see what I am trying to do here, please advise the best possible solution. No, I cannot start over. I just want to repair permissions for the users located on another partition other than the one where the OS system files are located.
Thank you.

I didn't say it didn't check user permissions... (if by user permissions you are talking about who owns a file.) I'm saying it won't check user home directories or backup directories.
From Apple's knowledge base article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
{quote}Files that aren't installed as part of an Apple-originated installer package are not listed in a receipt and therefore are not checked.{quote}
Also in that KB article it explains what Disk Utility does, which is to verify the ownerships and permissions of every file and directory installed from an Apple-originated installer package. Things like iTunes library files aren't installed from a package, they're created by iTunes.
To see all the files and directories that might be checked by Disk Utility run:
find /Library/Receipts -name '*.bom' -exec lsbom {} ;
The command above doesn't distinguish between Apple originated or third party packages, so it actually shows more than what Disk Utility checks. If you limit the output to what gets checked under /Users there is only this:
./Users/.localized 100644 0/0 0 4294967295
./Users/Shared 41777 0/0
./Users/Shared/.localized 100644 0/0 0 4294967295
Now, regarding the "iTunes Library file is locked..." problem, I'll assume that you've already verified the user owns 'iTunes Library' and 'iTunes Music Library.xml' in their ~/Music/iTunes folder and that they have read/write access to these files. If there is a chance that iTunes crashed before this problem occurred, it's possible there is still a lock on one or both of the files. The simplest fix is just to reboot the client machine. If you want to fix it the hard way, you can copy the two files to another directory, delete the originals (which have the locks), then copy the backup files to the ~/Music/iTunes folder.

Updating SAP Questions - Newbie Need Some Direction

I have some questions on updating SAP systems.
We went live on SAP back in May and we have not really updated our systems since we did the initial installation in January. (They wanted a stable environment for testing/config). But I would like to start updating SAP before it gets too out of data and become difficult to update.
We are running a ECC 6.0 system on Windows 2003 x64 servers with SQL 2005 databases.
They way I see it, there are 3 areas I need to update:
1.)     The OS and Database (Microsoft Service Packs and Patches)
2.)     The SAP kernel
3.)     SAP support packages
What is the best way to approach this? Are my steps even correct?
I would just appreciate some input on how to approach updating SAP. I know that lots of testing will be necessary after each update.
Any tips?

Hi Drew,
I think you are looking for applying support packs . SAP usually release Support pack stacks every quarter, So you can go by the latest stack or one behind. SAP prefer to go by stacks now and not by individual packs.
You can get this information from
http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks
Procedure will be
1) Upgrade SAP Kernel
2) Update SPAM/SAINT to latest level.
3) Apply Support packs using SPAM.
If you have dual stack , update Java components using JSPAM , Now you can upgrade your Kernel using JSPAM ( In case you have dual stack ) .
Before doing Support packs , Make sure you read all notes related to Know issues/problem with your release and also make sure you have a valid back up. So if something go wrong you can always restore
Thanks

Desperately need some help with client-server java programming

Hi all,
I'm new to client server java programming. I would like to work on servlets and apache tomcat. I installed the apache tomcat v 5.5 into my machine and i have sun java 6 also. I created a java applet class to be as a client and embed it into an html index file, like this:
<applet code="EchoApplet.class" width="300" height="300"></applet>However, when I try to run the html file on the localhost, it print this error: classNotFoundException, couldn't load "EchoApplet.class" class. On the other hand, when I open the index file on applet viewer or by right clicking, open with firefox version 3, it works.
I thought that the problem is with firefox, but after running the applet through the directory not the server, i found that the problem is not any more with firefox.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem. I'm working on it for 5 days now and nothing on the net helped me. I tried a lot of solutions.
Any help?

arun,
If the browser is going to execute $myApplet, first it must get the $myApplet.class from the server, right?
So it follows that:
1. $myApplet.class must be acessible to server, and
2. the server must know exactly where to find $myApplet.class
So, the simplest solution is to is put the $myApplet.class in the same directory as the HTML file which uses it... then your applet tag is simple:
<applet height="200" width="400" code="$myApplet.class" ></applet>* The height & width attributes are required
* Note the +.class+ is required in the code attribute (a common mistake).
* This works uniformly (AFAIK) accross all java-enabled browsers.
* There are incompatibilities with the codebase attribute. Poo!
Cheers. Keith.

Integrating MS Exchange server 2007 with OracleAS10g Portal

Hi,
We need to integrate MS Exchange server 2007 with our oracle portal so that a user can view his/her mailbox,calendar and to-do list
in the portal page.I can't find any such provider for exchange 2007.Is there any work around to implement this?
Thanks.

Here is one link that might be useful.
http://blogs.msdn.com/dotnetinterop/archive/2008/07/21/connecting-java-to-exchange-over-webdav-with-apache-httpclient.aspx
Also, I think Exchange 2007 might support web services and that would probably be a better solution than web dav. We are stuck on Exchange 2003 and so have to use the web dav bit.
