Removing AD DC from Exchange infrastructure -- Outlook complaining The bookmark is not valid

Hallo,
I have a setup of 2 Exchange 2007 servers 2xCAS + MBOX plus an Exchange 2010 (not in use yet), 4 AD DCs and some more servers like BlackBerry.
I am trying to switch off one of the DCs -- an old windows 2003 server.
I have migrated the FMSO roles, updated the DNS setting on all servers and now I would like to switch off the 2003 AD DC.
BUT: when I do this, everything works fine:
   * Mail goes in and out,
   * OWA works,
   * BlackBerry is fine,
   * Outlook 2003/2007/2010 with previously set-up accounts works just fine,
   * adding new accounts also seems to work.
Except for I cannot configure a new account in Outlook (any version).
When I create a new profile and configure an account I get: The bookmark is not valid
afrer filling in the login and password.
I am using the HTTP proxy for RPC (Outlook Anywhere is it called I guess). I verified the rpcredirect.dll manually using a web browser -- it seems OK -- empty page as the docs say. I checked the logs of the IIS -- no problem.
I don't know where to search on the Exchange side :-(
I googled and found some references to GC but I have a GC on every AD DC, so it should be fine. Also I found some references to OAB but I cannot see any problems with OAB -- well I don't know much about OAB :-(
To quick-fix the problem I finally had to start the old AD DC again, but the problem persisted. Later after checking everything that came to my mind I rebooted the Exchage where the Outlook clients connect to and now I am up and running again (this proves
that I have the Outlook client settings filled in right).
I really need to remove the old windows server 2003 AD DC, so keeping it up is not a solution for me :-(
Any tips and hints highly welcome.
Regards,
Martin Povolny

Sure. I hope I am sending it in the format you assumed.

I don't know how to check which DC is being used (or what type use do you mean), but when I run the netstat on the Exchange server I see connections to ldap and msft-gc on several AD DCs like this:
  TCP mbx:1164 AD5:ldap ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1169 AD2:ldap CLOSE_WAIT
  TCP mbx:1203 AD5:ldap ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1209 AD5:ldap ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1213 AD2:msft-gc CLOSE_WAIT
  TCP mbx:1219 AD5:ldap ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1247 AD3:msft-gc ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1249 AD2:msft-gc ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1251 AD5:msft-gc ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1253 AD4:msft-gc ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1264 AD5:ldap ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1278 AD5:ldap ESTABLISHED
  TCP mbx:1279 AD5:ldap ESTABLISHED
So from that point of view all DCs seem to be used.
Thanks for you time and regards!

How to remove repeated mails in exchange online outlook web app

Hi,
Any help me , how to remove repeated mails in exchange online outlook web app . As we are in process of migrating mailboxes to office 365 . We have migrated 5 mailboxes . But when i checked outlook web app after migration completed , i could see repeated
mails . When i compared with on premise outlook and office 365 outlook web app , there was lot of differences in read and unread mails .
Customer is expecting , same read and unread count should be replicated to office 365 owa.
Please suggest me to prevent this problem . As this is very urgent to give solution to customer .
Big thanks in advance.
Vinoth .

If you've setup Outlook 2013 so it's connected to Office 365, and you've import the .pst file into Outlook, it will be showing as another "mailbox" within Outlook, but default called "Personal Folders" (unless you renamed it when it was created).
You should find that you can simply copy the mail items / folders from Personal Folders into their new home in the Office 365 mailbox. Once that's done Outlook will synchronise the items with o365 which may obviously take a while to complete, but once it's
finished those messages will be available online.

How to remove a photo from a LRPublishedCollection without affecting the Publish Service?

Hello guys!
I would like to know if there is a way to remove a photo from a LRPublishedCollection without affecting the Publish Service. Basically I would like it to be removed from the collection but I don't want to be added to "Deleted Photos to Remove".
Thanks a lot!
Jordy.

I don't know how to keep it from being put on the "Deleted Photos to Remove" list at least briefly, but if you do this, it'll amount to the same thing:
* save status for all photos in collection
* set status of all photos to "do not publish"
* remove photo from collection.
* publish the collection, and make sure you call the deleted callback, but don't do anything else.
* restore previous photo statuses.
Only works in Lr4+.

Hide from Exchange Address list works in EMC but not from ADUC

We are using Exchange 2010 Version 14.3 (Build 123.4) in a 2008 AD environment. When hiding users from the GAL we found when performing this task from AD Users and Computers the box is check and we verify that it is checked in EMC but the user remains
visible. This can be an active user or a disabled user. The results are the same. But when checking the box "Hide from Exchange address list" in the EMC the change is visible instantly. We can verify that both in the GAL and from OWA. It had worked
prior but now is no longer effective from ADUC even though the box is checked in the EMC. I can check the box in ADUC and verify in Power shell HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled : True yet the user is not hidden. I assume that ADUC is fully integrated with Exchange
but the changes are only effective from Exchange

There are 3 2008 DC. I can see the change instantly on the EMC and in Power Shell. When the changes are made via the EMC the changes are instant. When made from ADUC they never update. I think you hit the nail on the head with the versions. I have only been
here about 10 months and recently (2 months ago) fully decommission our 2003 Exchange which was hanging around for some time. Since I had experience I followed procedure and decommissioned the 2003 environment. Now as far ADUC my copy is Active Directory Users
and Computers Version: 6.1.7601.17514
I can assume from what I am reading that even though the check box and tabs for Exchange can be added, they do not function completely from ADUC? I just need to provide our Help Desk with a "best practices" They have been disabling and hiding users
via ADUC for years and claim it just stopped working.
So is it a correct statement that Exchange 2010 and above attributes can no longer be changed via ADUC?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.

Hi
Error -49 opWrErr File already open with write permission
Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
• Create a new User-Account
• Log out of Your old one and into this
• Re-try iMovie
If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
from Karsten Schlüter
Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
in Terminal copy/paste
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Re-launch Mac

I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

So you have tried connecting to open network that do not require a password and it was still unable to connect? If that is the case.
