What I should look out for, Exchange 2013

I have a Exchange 2010 server on Server 2008R2. I just installed Exchange 2013 on Server 2012R2. Anyone know what changes i need to make to begin moving users over to the new server? Shouldn't it have pulled all the settings over from the other exchange
server?

Hi,
To migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, you can refer to the articles provided by Amit Tank.
For one thing about public folders, Exchange 2013 users can access public folders on Exchange 2010, but Exchange 2010 users can't access public folders on Exchange 2013. If you still use public folders, you need to migrate mailboxes before moving public
folders to Exchange 2013.

An app everyone should look out for

Hello apple users,
Today I am here to warn you all for one of the many app's that scam you, this one is named "panorama backgrounds & parallax wallpapers & dynamic livepapers for ios 7, whatsapp, hangouts, viber"
Like the name and description promises it that you get many panorama, parallax, dynamic, whatsapp, hangout and viber backgrounds/wallpapers/livepapers. It only costed 1,79 (Euro) so I thought, why the heck not
When I launched the app, all I got was this:
About 30 backgrounds for whatsapp, easily found on google.
And also, it has fake reviews (at the bottom you can see the real ones of people saying the truth)
Any apps you know of other people should look out for?

Just got refurb Macbook - what problems to look out for?

Hello all! Boy i am chuffed to have this little beauty before me... but i have this niggling feeling... its a refurb and it might 'have issues'.
What are the problems we know about? And how do i check it hasn't got 'em?
Its a 2.16 Dual Core 2 Duo, Super Drive, 120GB HD, 1GB of Apple RAM
I don't mind cracking it open and extracting serial numbers from funny places etc.
Respect
Matt

Technically you are correct, but if you do any visible damage to anything while opening it Apple could decide that an unauthorized repair or modification was attempted and deny warranty coverage. Most people don't have the proper tools or knowledge to disassemble a MacBook without leaving evidence it was opened.
When I used to do warranty repairs for another major electronics firm not Apple, we always inspected the heads of the screws in the case. If they were damaged in any way it had probably been opened by the customer. When we replaced any parts we replaced all the screws with new ones so after we got through you wouldn't know it had ever been opened.
I reprimanded one of my techs because he didn't use new screws and you could see they were had some damage. Our quality control was strict.
I just don't think it is worth it to take the chance of losing your warranty by opening the case.

Buying a used iMac G5, tips and things to look out for?

What tips could you guys give me on when looking for a used iMac G5? I like the 20" models specifically and it seems the models are all over 1.6GHz so the speeds are fine.
I currently own a G4 1.67 PowerBook and did a bit of reading up on that before I bought it, seeing what things to look out for what things turned faulty after a while and such. Such as the logic board and the 1 RAM slot going faulty on a few models, recalled batteries, which helped a lot in buying a used one.
I'm looking for a new desktop but can't afford to fork out over 1 grand for the new iMac's and the speed of my PowerBook is enough for my usual browsing and processing and few photos. So please don't bother telling me to buy a new one cos new is always best, I don't mind spending reasonably less and having a decent machine still - 1.67 15" PowerBook has proved well :P

Don't buy a new intel. buy a refurbished one from Apple. The PPC architecture is on its way out, few programs are being written for it, and most new applications are only for intel. I realize that even a refurb might cost a bit more than you planned to spend, but it will be worth it down the road.
Look in the [Apple Store|http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=MTE3NjY], the choice changes daily, so just keep you eye open for the one you want and snap it up. And get Apple Care as well.
Let us know what you ended up with please,

What defects should I look out for on a new C2D MacBook?

Hi all,
So, here's my Mac story. I've had macs for the past 4 years, I just like working on them when I have the option. When the new MacBook came out last Spring I immediately bought one, and then 3 returns laters, I got one that wasn't falling apart and was happy. Then the C2D came out, and I was antsy to upgrade. I know it was foolish but I talked myself into a MBP C2D. I got that, about 2 weeks ago and was very dissapointed in the display, grainy and all. So I talked to apple and they're taking it back. But here I am with no laptop again. SO I purchased a new C2D MacBook, and it arrives today.
So back to the question ... what defects with the new one should be on the look out for? It's difficult to figure out which MacBook people are talking about when they talk about their problems.
Thanks for the help

To be honest, you shouldn't be looking for any defects. There were some problems with a small percentage of the original MacBooks which have since been resolved and should not appear on the new Core 2 models. Get your MacBook and enjoy it. If you discover something is not working the way you feel it should, address it then. To be on the look out for problems that you may have heard others having is only going to make you worry and probably think you have found a problem where none may exist.

What to look out for when upgrading from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6

I'm thinking about upgrading our server from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6 (I've delayed it because I remember hearing a few things were broken in the process on some setups). So, being the novice that I am, what should I look out for?

The best thing you can do is to take a full backup of your system and then apply the latest update.
Also, it is safer to apply the combo update.
If you do not hear problems in here, there are probably not any problems

Buying a used Mac - what to look out for

I'm not really sure this should be in the MacBook Pro forum, but I had to put it somewhere.
I'm considering buying a used Mac for my son. My daughter is using an old Aluminum PowerBook and when she gets older, I'll upgrade her as well. For my son the unit will be for mostly at home, so it doesn't need to be a laptop, but since laptops can basically be used as desktops as well, I'm posting here.
What I want to know are any "gotcha's" that might not occur to me. For example, such and such types don't have particularly good battery life, the hard drive on this one is easy to change but not on that one. This one is known to have video problems but that one is great, etc.etc. Things to look out for or be aware of.
I'm not adverse to buying old PPC based systems. Some of the old PowerMacs with G5 processors can be had for really, really low prices, but they're obviously limited to Leopard.
This is a 10 year old boy, so I'm not going to spend a fortune on it. Kids will be kids, you know.
Thoughts anyone?

I assume you're ruling out completely all iBook G3's, right?
If you got a butt kickin' PowerMac it might be quite a machine at quite a price. I've seen some G5 quad core's selling for as little as $100. With something that old, though, how long will it be before there's something like a power supply failure.
Watch out for 17" iMac's from the 2006-2007 era. The displays have a tendency to develop vertical lines, and once they start doing it, it spreads like a disease across the display. WIth a unit like that you would have to use an external display and hide the original.
Some of the earlier MacBooks had some battery issues and charging issues.
I know for a fact that if you get a 2009 MacBook and put 4G of RAM into it you can comfortably run Mavericks. Of course if you read the posts of some of the people on this site they will claim you can ***never*** run Mavericks comfortably on anything. I'm not really sure what their problems are. You can pick one of these up for less than $200 for one in moderate shape to slightly over $200 for one in good shape.
As with any laptop, check the battery out. On all systems check the HD and OD, especially the latter, to see if their working. I had to do a refurbishment/resell program on some of our older stuff and the ODs were bad in almost all of them. Thoroughly check the HD if the unit is a laptop or it's over 3 years old (just my advice).
As far as PowerBooks, they're going to be too slow to handle any online video, but probably suitable enough for anything else. You can (I'm not joking) pick up a decent 12" model (1.33GHz, for example) for less than $70. You could also look at the 15" models but be wary of a problem some of them developed over time with RAM chips in a certain bank not being recognized.
For reasons known only to God, old Titaniums are selling for more than Aluminum PowerBooks. I really wonder if people on eBay see the black Titanium keyboard on the metal base and think they're getting a new unit. Titaniums in good shape are a rarity because the hinges in the back liked to bust. They also ran hot enough to burn your legs. I'd steer clear of them.
Most of the G4 iBooks we had and tested seemed OK. Some of the iMac G5s seem to be remarably solid. With the 2009 Intel iMac's (and maybe 2010 as well) you may need to be careful about the drive you install do to an unusual thermal monitoring setup.
Well. That's if for me now.
Later.

Hackers - What to look out for and prevention!?

Hi, I was just looking through my logs and such and saw some alot of gobbly gook. It made me nervous. so I was wondering what are the main tips on detecting a Hacker, spotting Hacking attempts and prevention of Hackers?
I understand that I depends on what kit you have and such and that your computer has to make connections with others to use the internet but what do I and every other average Apple user need to look out for in logs on modems, firewalls and applications.
I personaly have looked at my logs on my Netgear Modem and logs on my System Profiler application. I see connections to various things but i'm no good at networking. All I know is to have my firewall on!
Also...I am always nervous when using Bit Torrent, do I have any need to be?
Thanks all ~ Joe
p.s - I have also read in other posts that posting log information is a dumb idea so have played safe and kept them to myself. So there's my tip! :)
PowerBook G4 15" - Sept 04- 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2) Power Mac G4 1GHz DP - Airport Extreme - 2MBPS Broadband

It's not always true that an invalid access is an attack. For example, if your firewall application reports that the misused source port is a high port number, it might be a trigger packet. Some ISP may configure the servers system incorrectly or insufficiently. Some organization or a group of companies may send scanning packets to P2P users in a special way in order to improve heavy WAN traffics caused by P2P software users. You might mis-configure your modem or router firewall system or a built-in firewall has a bug, etc.
If a source port number is in the rage between 49152 and 65535, it is normally either dynamic or private ports. Dynamic ports are randomly assigned, and private ports are used by OS software or applications. By seeing any high ports with other logs events, you may guess whether someone attacks your node, about his/her skills/ability and the time zone. You may see one of high ports displaying on Netstat program for Network Utility application when pressing "Display the state of all current socket connections"-- udp4 0 0 localhost.xxxxx. Netstat may help to know who is on networks but not in real time. You need to refresh the button manually.
Here are two basic points:
* It is important to know yourself and think of your computer configurations before you start thinking who is there or your enemy.
* The most important matter in computer security is to be aware, and watch the systems carefully something most people do not do. For example, check if asl.log facility status with the level integer value displays differently from regular bases. If system.log or console.log reports that your computer name and the host name are changed, you may be facing to a serious security situation.
If you want to see whether your ISP blocks ports or you have opened ports, security scan service such as grc.com (Shields UP), dshield.org or seifried.org are available on the Internet.
Mac OS X Tiger built-in firewall (ipfw) has basic features. You can add rule-sets if you want. See for example here. Normally, you do not need to change the default rule-sets that blocks unwanted incoming packets.
Here is how to read about a log example for Mac OS X built-in firewall:
ipfw: 64000 Deny TCP 123.456.78.900:4990 444.555.66.777:1433 in via en1
The ipfw rule-set 64000 denies a Transmission Control Protocol IP packet sent by the source address 123.456.78.900 via the port number 4990 to attempt an invalid access to the destination address 444.555.66.777 targeting to the port 1433 in via your interface "AirPort." The destination address in this case is your local IP address, but not a remote IP address assigned for your ISP (for instance) node. The BSD device name for Built-in Ethernet interface is "en0." "en1" is used for AirPort or the first PCI Ethernet card if you install one.
You see the Mac OS X built-in firewall do not tell you the service name of a misused port number and the host name of the source IP address in real time. Therefore, it may be uncomfortable to analyze the background in details-- especially, if events of the firewall log would be flooded by access attempted every minute or more frequently. You may not even be able to send an e-mail to abuse team who is responsible for the source IP address net block to ask for the investigation if you want to do so. To send an enquiry has two meaning-- suggesting their server vulnerability or insufficient configuration and making a good use of their reply to your analysis.
In this case, an unassigned port number 4990 is misused by someone directly or indirectly (e.g. bot, botarmy, etc.) from the server 123.456.78.900, and the port 1433 for sniffing if a Microsoft SQL Server (Windows related) is running on your machine. There is also known history that some viruses try to exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server. The most known ports being misused in recent days are 8 (ICMP ping) 135, 139, 445 and ports for Trojan Horses and P2P technology driven software such as BitTorrent-- See also this world map, http://isc.sans.org/.
You may think about why bad IP packets pass through your ISP servers especially if servers are configured with a firewall system.
If you want to know more about Transmission Control Protocol specification, find "RFC 793" documentation on the Internet. All assigned port numbers document is available at www.iana.org.
If you are interested in third-party firewall, DoorStop X and Who's There are very good applications. You'll see it when you use their trial version with the full features.
Good firewall applications may protect your computer from various invalid access attempts but not for the real solution. Good packet analyzing (Sniffers) applications may help to inform you a result of analysis but not for the real solution. End-users, ISPs and the authorities need to run to the same direction together.

It is there an alternative to the Test-SystemHealth powershell cmdlet for Exchange 2013?

Hello
The Powershell cmdlet Test-SystemHealth, that was available on Exchange 2010, is no longer available on Exchange 2013.
Test-SystemHealth cmdlet gathered data about the Microsoft Exchange system and analyzed the data according to best practices.
Are there any alternatives to this for Exchange 2013?
Thanks!

Haven't really played with it too much, but check out Get-ServerHealth

Looks to have replaced Test-SystemHealth.

Enable legacy public folders for Exchange 2013 prior to migration?

We're about ready to migrate to Exchange 2013 from 2010. We have a public folder database on 2010 that users can't see once migrated to 2013. If I run through the commands according to the technet article "Configure legacy public folders where user
mailboxes are on Exchange 2013 servers" (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690134(v=exchg.150).aspx), will users who's mailboxes are still on Exchange 2010 be able to see these public folders?

I know they've made alot of changes recently in how legacy public folders are handled in Exchange 2013 (mostly CU7), but I haven't had to do anything more than just setting the proper public folder database on the Exchange 2013 databases.
That being said, looking over the article you are not doing any moves, and it looks eerily similar to this blog post:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/11/07/on-premises-legacy-public-folder-coexistence-for-exchange-2013-cumulative-update-7-and-beyond.aspx
So I don't think this would hurt Public Folder access for your users in your legacy environment.
Did you deploy CU7? If so, then do what both articles say. If not try using Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity <2013 db name> -PublicFolderDatabase <PF DB NAME>

Is there anything we need to look out for when running Forte 3.0.N.1 and iDS5.0 SP1 on WindowsXP?

We are in the process of migrating to Windows XP and during the transition period from 95 to XP we will need to run the uncertified for XP products Forte 3.0.N.1 client runtime and the iDS5.0 SP1 admin console on XP for a time.
We were just wondering if there were any gotchas or problems we need to look out for?

Hi Kelsey,
Forte 3.0.N.1 is not certified to run on Windows XP. UDS 5.0.1 is the only certified ti run on Windows XP but just as client and is not certified to be a Server.
Anyway, let me know what your problems were when running Forte on Windows XP.
Cheers!!!

Is smb 3.0 already supported for exchange 2013

Hello,
We are looking to deploy exchange 2013. We have a netapp storage and vmware environment.
I was wondering if smb 3.0 is already supported for exchange 2013. I read in a blog of 2012 that it wasn't supported at the time. We would like to use it instead of a iscsi lun.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, it is still not supported for Exchange 2013 up to now.
Here is an article for your reference, please refer to the "Exchange storage requirements" section.

Best Practice Analyzer for Exchange 2013

Greetings,
I have upgraded the messaging infrastructure from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
I want to test the Health of the system through ExBPA for Exchange 2013.
But i don't find any setup for Exchange 2013 like it was in 2010.
I went through an article by Office365 community, according to which for In-premises Exchange also we need to have office 365 account (can use trial account also) to get the downloader file for ExBPA 2013.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/deploy/office-365-best-practices-analyzer-for-exchange-server-2013.aspx
But to run the setup the servers needs to be connected to internet.
And, i don't want to expose my environment to internet in any condition.
Somebody, please suggest me if there is any setup available so that i can install directly without exposing to internet.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
K2

Welcome to Exchange 2013.
Exchange Server 2013 doesn't come with ExBPA for health check. This might help
http://exchangeserverpro.com/powershell-script-health-check-report-exchange-2010/
Apart from that you can run these commands too
Get-ServerHealth -Identity Exchange2013ServerName
Test-ServiceHealth

EXMON "exchange server user monitor" for Exchange 2013?

Hello,
it Looks like EXMON is not supported for Exchange 2013. Is this correct or can i use it with Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 (CU6++) ?
Is there any alternative to check high log growth rate to see which user is responsable for this?
Thanks for Feedback.
best,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Yes, ExMon is not supported for exchange 2013.
Except the suggestion above, here is an exclusive application for you reference, it could retrieve statistics for all or selected mailboxes in a specified database and server, it may give you some help:
Exchange Server Mailbox Statistics Tool - v1.6.2
The tool retrieves mailbox statistics which includes Folder Count, Total Items, Associated Items, Deleted Items, Total Items Size, Deleted Items Size, Oldest Item Date, Newest Item Date, Items Age, Mailbox Age and Quota details. It also includes an additional
option named "Archive Statistics Planner" which will let you search mailboxes and provide statistics report with specific dates.
