Latest Update Rollup for Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi
Currently we are using RU2 for Exchange 2010 SP3. We are facing an issue with OWA through IE 11 (no support for premium). To correct this issue it's recommended to install RU3. Here we are asking the expert opinion about installing RU7
on all Exchange 2010 servers and whether it makes any different issues or is it enough to install RU3
Thanks in advance

Personally, if you are going to update the servers, you should apply the latest RU regardless. So I would go with RU7.

Newer GW7 GW for Exchange 2003 than 7/22/2008?

Hello Novell Support,
We are having an issue where the gateway chokes on particular emails on a daily baisis and shuts down automatically. If it weren't for GroupWise monitor, we wouldn't even know it had shut down. So on a daily basis at random times we have to go into Exchange 2003 System Manager and delete the email in the queue that the GW7 Gateway is choking, freezing, and crashing/shutting down on, and then restart the gateway. We have the 7/22/2008 version of the gateway, and was wondering if a newer version exists?
Thanks,
Scott

Driver for Deskjet 1220c (Windows 7 x64 and Windows Server 2008 R2)

Hi,
I've got a Deskjet 1220c and have recently upgraded two machines; one to Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and the other to Windows Server 2008 R2. Any idea where I can get printer drivers?
I'd like to try the Vista x64 drivers, though these were included on the Vista CD from MS, and not available as a separate download from HP (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00868762).
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks,
Mt

Hi
I had this trobule too. Below is the instructions to install driver. Disconnect your printer. In printers select add printer. Then click windows update (need internet) allow them to update and then select 1220c printer to install leaving as standard old port. Once installed go into printer properites and update to USB port.
Bingo it works!
Refer to the below link for full instructions.

Receive Connector stopped working after Update Rollout 2 for Exchange 2007 SP2

One of the Exchange 2007 servers receive connector has stopped working since installing the latest rollout update for Exchange 2007 SP2 - for some reason the following error is received (when troubleshooting on the adjacent server) :
"Remote server server.domain.co.uk failed the mail acceptance test. MAIL FROM command: Respond = 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated."
Most admins will know you usually get this when first setting up Exchange and the receive connector not allowing anonymous connections. But our setup has been working for well over a year with no problems. Even enabling anonymous connections still doesn't fix the problem.
Our setup is 2 exchange servers across 2 sites, with the problematic server never receiving email from the internet, only from the other Exchange server (which is internet facing). The above error is received when the internet facing server is relaying email over to the problematic server. Though in the message queue the following error is received:
"SMTPSEND.DNS.NonExistantDomain; nonecistant domain"
After testing DNS that all seems fine, so I don't believe it's a DNS problem.
Any ideas why this would happen?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt....
To receive e-mails from the external servers or domains or clients, you can setup a new receive connector on Hub Transport Server. To do this task, you can go through the steps mentioned in this blog....

Rollup 8 for Exchange 2010 SP2 causes EWS error with bad parameter for Exchange.MailboxReplicationService.ProxyService

When I installed Rollup 8 for Exchange 2010 SP2 it caused an error in EWS
EWS failed with the error:
exchange web service could not load file or assembly Exchange.MailboxReplicationService.ProxyService bad parameter
When I uninstalled the rollup all worked fine again.
Any ideas, Thanks in advance?

Hi,
To apply this update rollup, you must have Exchange Server 2010 SP2 installed. And remove all interim updates for Exchange Server 2010 SP2 before you apply this update rollup. Please check your installation deployment by the following article:

Mail for exchange settings on N97

I have a N97 which mail for exchange was working happily on, synchronizing mail, contact's and calendar. The world was a good place!
The screen broke and needed replacing on my N97 and I have set up mail for exchange again. Now when it downloads mail, it downloads all of the other outlook folders inside my inbox as well as my inbox. It never used to do this and indeed this is not what I want.
How can I get my N97 to just download the inbox rather than all of the folders within the inbox on outlook. There must be some settings either on the phone or in outlook which defines what is synced.

Maybe you had earlier Mail for Exchange v2.9 in use and after setting it up again, you have got the latest MfE 3.0 version. The new MfE 3.0 version has as a new feature the possibility to view the outlook subfolders. These are, however, not automatically synced unless you subscribe to them. The unsubscribed folders show the mark (x) in front of the folder name. After you subscribe to a folder, the (x) mark will disappear from the folder name.

Groupwise 7 Gateway for Exchange

I am testing the Novell Groupwise Gateway for Exchange SP2. I have already tested the API Gateway but wanted to try the newer version because it will be supported for awhile. I downloaded the install and went through all the instructions. I am using Groupwise 7.0.1 and Exchange 2003. The install went fine and the configurations are correct but I must be missing something. When I go to start the Gateway Application it starts then stops. I checked on the GW MTA and it says the link is Closed. The reason the link it closed it says can't create directories. I checked the Gateway application and it shows Groupwise link closed and other link Open. I logged into a ws as the same user to check the rights and I was able to create a new directory in the domain directory. I changed the logging to verbose on the Exchange Gateway to see if I can see an error and it says trying to re-establish GW link.

E6 - Mail for Exchange (Mandatory Server Policy Fa...

I bought my E6 for couple of weeks, and have been having this problem when I tried to setup Mail for Exchange on my company's email account, and got this "Mandatory Server Policy Failed".
Just have Nokia Care reinstall all latest firmware, same problem exists. My software version is 022.014, version date is 2011-07-05.
I used to have the same setting on C7, E7 and my Android phones for my company's email, all works fine.
Any solutions for this?

I have been trying to configure Mail for Exchange on Nokia E6-00, but it doesn't work at all. It doesn't ask for auto phone lock option mandatory. Which is asked while configuring Mail for Exchange on Nokia E63, E72 and 5530, 5800 and so on.
Also I have searched Mail for Exchange software on OVi store but it is not available for E6-00. So that I can updated the existing software in my phone.
Can anyone please guide to resolve this issue?
Mail for exchange is perfectly working on my E6-00 for Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo but its not working while I tried to configure my Official email.

Unable to install rollup4 for Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi,
I'm unable to install KB2905616 on my multi-role Exchange 2010 SP3 server. The setup wizard gets stuck at "the setup wizard is generating native images for .NET assemblies........"
I know that this process will take some time to complete but I have waited 10 hours.
I've tried to reboot the server and restart the setup.
Exchange is functioning perfectly otherwise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
/Søren Emig

Hi,
I recommend you check if the anti-virus has been disabled before you start the upgrade process.
If you didn't ,the update could fail or take an extended amount of time.
Also, disable all other third-party apps/plugins that might be installed (like backup agents).
In addition,the following articles for your reference:
Install the Latest Update Rollup for Exchange 2010
When you install an update rollup package, Exchange tries to connect to the certificate revocation list (CRL) Web site. Exchange examines the CRL list to verify the code signing certificate. (To download and view the CRL list, see
CodeSignPCA.crl.) If Exchange can't connect to the CRL Web site, the following symptoms may occur:
The installation takes a long time to complete.
You receive the following message during the installation: Creating native images for .Net assemblies
When Exchange isn't connected to the Internet, each CRL request must complete before the installation can continue.
To work around this issue and to reduce installation times, turn off the
Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option on the server that is being upgraded. Use the following steps:
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab, and then locate the Security section.
Clear the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation check box, and then click
OK.
After the update rollup installation is complete, select the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option.
Generating NGEN images takes longer than expected
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

What is the latest motherboard for a Pavilion DV6-2020ev?

Hi, my motherboard on my Pavilion DV6-2020ev failed due to overheating. The current MB part number is "574902-001" followed by "7F0994". The processor is an i7 (1.6Ghz). Instead of getting the same board, I was wondering if there was a later MB that can work. Does anyone know? Unfortunately the dealer cannot help and will only replace with the same part number -(
thanks,
arjogie

The motherboard listed is the right one listed for dv6-20xx notebook. Just ensure that you download the latest BIOS update for your notebook from the software and driver download page on www.hp.com once you have replaced the MB.
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Removing Forefront Protection for Exchange

I am looking into moving away from Forefront Protection for Exchange since it can't be renewed (prob to Cisco Ironport).
What exactly do I need to do remove it completely?
Current set up:
Exchange 2010 behind Forefront TMG.
Forefront Protection for Exchange used to block spam and scan for viruses.
I believe there is a edge subscription between TMG and Exchange
Exchange transport role installed on TMG server

Hi,
when FPE is integrated into TMG you first should disable the E-Mail protection in TMG. After that FPE runs indepented and you can simply uninstall it like any other installation.

Could you be more specific as to exactly what in TMG will "disable the E-Mail protection in TMG" as it relates to the uninstallation of FPE?
E.g. In TMG, on the "E-Mail Policy" tree node with the focus on the "E-Mail Policy" tab, there are 3 configurable items that I'm unsure of will achieve the above. These are:
"E-Mail Policy" : Enabled
"Protection Manager Integration" : Enabled
"Email Policy Integration Mode" : Enabled
Any specific one of the above or all?
Thanks
Jaans

Discontinuing Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange

Hi
Microsoft is discontinuing any further releases of Forefont Protection 2010 for Exchange Server:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx
We have a lot of customers with on-premises Exchange Servers, to which we sold Forefont Protection 2010 for Exchange Server.
What is the alternative for that product, Forefront Online Protection?
What is the Scenario, if a customer don't want his mx record to point to Microsoft?
Regards
Peter

Hi,
I'm sorry but yesterday I was working with a customer.
This is going to be a long post :-)
Exchange 2010 has no native antivirus/malware protection. This kind of protection is provided by Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange.
Those filters provide antispam protection therefore from this point of view I wouldn't consider them a replacement for Groupshield AV protection on Exchange 2010.
This is the fast answer :-)
Let's move to the longer one.
There are going to be a lot of assumptions because I don't know your environment at all and this is something which should be carefully planned and tailored based on your business needs.
Assumptions:
You have an Exchange 2010 Organization
There are no Edge servers
You are following the common scenario with an AV for Exchange (Groupshield) running on Hub and Mailbox servers, Postini for Inbound/Outbound traffic protection from AV and SPAM (MX record pointing to Postini) and an AV for Filesystem running on the Exchange
servers
You are planning to move to Exchange 2013 in the future (let's say 6 months/1 year from now)
You are open to discuss a Microsoft-oriented solution without 3rd party software
We are not going to discuss licensing (we are lucky and someone else will decide for us :-))
We are not going to discuss the differences between Postini/Groupshield/Forefront/Exchange agents because I don't know them well enough to tell you something which would make sense and I'm still discussing if it was better the Commodore 64 or the Amiga
(obviously Commodore 64)
We are looking for a solution which should cover as many scenarios as possible
Short-term objective: Achieve antivirus/antispam protection on Exchange 2010 and get rid of Groupshield (and may be of Postini with it)
Long-term objective: Migrate to 2013 and leverage the antimalware and antispam agents included in the product
Act 1 - Short-term objective:
Inbound/outbound traffic:
The antispam agents can be installed on an Exchange 2010 Hub server but the place where they should be used is the Edge server.
Solution 1: Replace Postini with 2 Exchange 2010 Edge servers (MX record pointing to the Edge servers). Antivirus protection will be provided by Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange (FPE) . Antispam protection by Exchange 2010 and FPE (which expands the antispam
capabilities of Exchange 2010)
Solution 2: Replace Postini with Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE)
Internal traffic:
Solution: FPE will replace Groupshield on the Hub servers. No antispam agents installed. FPE will be installed as a Transport Agent
Database Content (aka all that stuff that doesn't pass through transport):
Not all Exchange data are passing through the Hub transport (i.e. Drafts, Calendar, Contacts, Public Folders, etc...)
Solution 1: FPE will replace Groupshield on the Mailbox servers. FPE will leverage the Virus API (VSAPI) to access the content of the Store
Solution 2: The AV installed on your clients has an Outlook plug-in which scans the content of the store client-side
This should provide enough AV/antispam protection and you will have an homogeneous solution where all components are able to interact smoothly (Outlook Junk Mail, Antispam agents, safe senders, safe recipients, etc...) without much effort in terms of 3rd
party plug-ins, different administration consoles, different places where you have to check if the message has been blocked.
I know what is going to be the fate of Forefront but this is to meet our short-term/immediate objectives. From now on we will have until December 2015 to plan our migration to Exchange 2013.
The screen fades to black. Voice-over announces that you migrated to Exchange 2013 :-)
Act 2 - Long-term objective:
Inbound/Outbound traffic:
Solution 1: Leverage the AV and antispam agents on your published MBX/CAS servers
Solution 2: Use FOPE
Internal Traffic:
Solution: Leverage the AV agent on your MBX/CAS servers
Database content:
In Exchange 2013 the VSAPI is dead. Any AV for Exchange will have to use transport agents on Exchange 2013. The only possible exceptions is using Web Services for the On-demand scan of a limited number of mailboxes.
Solution: The AV installed on your clients has an Outlook plug-in which scans the content of the store client-side
The screen fades to black. Credits.
There are a few considerations related to these design changes which demonstrates that IMHO they are a good choice but they would be too long to discuss in this post and they would probably be OT. I'm thinking to write a blog when I'll have some time.
IMPORTANT: These are just my 2 pence. You should discuss this with someone which knows your infrastructure. The above solutions are at best incomplete because there a lot more factors which come into play when choosing a design like this.
My personal advice is to involve your TAM (if you have one) and work with my colleagues to find the solution best suited for your company.
Bye
