What is Exchange Virtual directory and its role?

Hello there,
I am new to Exchange and I started reading about Exchange Virtual directories. I am struggling to understand the concept behind Virtual directories in Exchange and what is the role of this component. Can someone please shed some light and better yet supplemental
information to help me understand the concepts behind it? Let me know please. I am looking forward to any reply that would help.

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Exchange virtual directory is a directory which store some necessary URL to point to correspondent web page, those URL can provide service for user by Exchange server. it include the following component:
On Exchange CAS server:
Autodiscover: An important function of the Autodiscover service is to provide access to features for clients that are connected to your messaging environment. These features include the web-based offline address book (OAB), the Availability service, and
Unified Messaging (UM). The Autodiscover service must be deployed and configured correctly for clients to automatically connect to features.
ECP: The Exchange Control Panel is a Web application that runs on a Client Access Server providing services for the Exchange organization. This Exchange Control Panel is installed automatically when you install a Client Access server. To manage Exchange
from just about anywhere, you simply need to enter the URL path for the application in your browser’s Address field. You can then access the Exchange Control Panel. By default, the Exchange Control Panel URL is
https://yourserver.yourdomain.com/ecp.
EWS: Exchange Web Services virtual directories support the calendar sharing and other functionality offered by Exchange Web Services. The Exchange Web services included in Exchange provide an XML messaging interface that enables you to manage Exchange store
items and access Exchange server functionality from client applications.
Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync: Exchange ActiveSync is a client protocol that lets you synchronize a mobile device with your Exchange mailbox.
OAB: An offline address book (OAB) is a copy of an address list collection that’s been downloaded so a Microsoft Outlook user can access the address book while disconnected from the server. Microsoft Exchange generates the new OAB files and then compresses
the files and places them on a local share. You can decide which address lists are made available to users who work offline, and you can also configure the method by which the address books are distributed.
OWA: By default, when you install Microsoft Exchange 2013, you enable Outlook Web App. Microsoft Outlook Web App lets users access their Exchange mailbox from almost any Web browser.The Client Access server role provides proxy and redirection services for
Outlook Web App.
PowerShell: The Exchange Management Shell, built on Windows PowerShell technology, provides a powerful command-line interface for Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 that enables automation of administrative tasks. With the Shell, you can manage every aspect
of Exchange. You can enable new email accounts, create Send and Receive connectors, configure database properties, manage distribution groups, and more. The Shell can perform every task that can be performed by the Exchange Administration Center (EAC) plus
things that can't be done in the EAC. In fact, when you do something in the EAC, it's the Shell that's doing the work behind the scenes
On Exchange mailbox server:
PowerShell: this is the same with front CAS server.

  • To set a directory and its subdirectory in  utl_file_dir using command

    Hi all ,
    Please help me in this dbt .
    in one article i saw
    UTL_FILE_DIR lets you specify one or more directories that Oracle should use for PL/SQL file I/O. If you are specifying multiple directories, you must repeat the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter for each directory
    on separate lines of the initialization parameter file
    and in another alter system set utl_file_dir=dir1,dir2 scope=both;
    whther the second method is possible
    if i want to have a directory and its sub directory to set in utl_file_dir
    what i should do , whether i want to specify main directory and all sub directory seperated by comma or any other method is there
    Please help me
    thanks in advance ..........

    Instead of specifying the directory in the INIT.ora file u can use Directory object.
    U need to create a directory object once & use it when ever u require it.
    For example
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY Test_dir AS 'C:\abc'
    Now you can use this directoryTEST_DIR in any Pl Sql block provided u have proper privileges.

  • Virtual Directory and CoreID

    Can anyone tell me how Virtual Directory and CoreID play together? I heard that Virtual Directory was read-only. If that's the case, it doesn't seem like CoreID Identity can connect directly, cause it needs to be able to update. I currently have CoreID using ADAM as datastore. If I want to integrate other LDAP instances in the picture using Virtual Directory, what would be the scheme?
    Thanks,
    mike

    Hi Mike,
    I haven't tired it, but I have defenitely heard about it.
    This is a quote from the Oracle Website - " Oracle COREid also supports multi-directory and relational database integration via Oracle Virtual Directory.".
    Also, a similar scenario is discussed here ( Slide 8 ) :-
    http://conference.digitalidworld.com/2005/attendees/slides/Grand_0510_1600d.pdf
    It would be good if Oracle publishes ( has published ? ) a WhitePaper about this....

  • Semantics and its' role in Business Services

    Role and importance of semantics in the context of services and SOA:
    Semantics refer to interpretation of information and not the literal definition of information/ data. Applying semantics to information turns it into “knowledge”. Semantics is the act of applying references and drawing conclusions given a set of more scientific informational constructs. Typically semantics are derived using the context in which information is presented. Transposition on the other hand allows applies the rule of inference where in one can draw conclusions on the implication of truth based on some set of facts.

  • IIS Virtual Directory and Application Pool for Large Images folder

    I have a large images folder used for Upload and Download with approx. 1.5 TB for a web site.
    My Website use AppPool_A.
    For performance reasons, do I need to create different Virtual Directory and different Application Pool (AppPool_B) for Images folder. Assuming, if the number of users increase in upload/download images the memory & cpu utilization will be
    more and App Pool recycle happens more often. And other impact is if Website and Images are in same App Pool, the application performance slow.
    Pls. suggest

  • HT204085 What is "local items"keychain and its password, how can i reset the password if i forgot the password

    What is "local items"keychain and its pasword. how can i reset the password if i forget the password?

    I just fixed the same problem.  Here's what to do. 
    Click on the finder, then scroll across to the GO on the top menu bar, but also hold down the option or alt key while you do this.
    scroll down the go menu to library and highlight library.
    the library folder will open
    go to the keychains folder and open it
    in the keychains folder, then click and drag the blue folder that has all the letters and numbers for a title like "A2CEEE274-....."
    drag this folder to the desktop
    now restart your machine
    when the machine restarts, you should see the keychains folder still open with a new folder in it that looks just like the one you dragged out onto the desktop
    throw the one on the desktop out in the trash
    You just reset the keychain folder so the new mavericks update could recognize it correctly, by the way apple customer support mentioned the reason this was happening was due to the update, and this is the standard fix.  The apple keychain access pw should be your apple id or logon password. 
    Good luck!!!

  • About "virtual directory" and ShellFolder

    hi, everyone!
    i'm a freshman to this language, and met some trouble last night.
    i'm designing a small program by using jfc.
    the project is just like "ms resources explorer", containing a tree view.
    i wanna create a root node which represents desktop, including three children:
    "My Computer", "Network neighbor" and "My Document".
    the last one is a real directory in windows,
    but the other two don't exist eventually.
    i wanna get such, i called, "virtual directorys" from system, including their icons.
    the root directory, you know, only represents its logical disc,
    such as A:\, C:\, D:\ and etc.,
    not the whole system like "My Computer".
    i searched the api reference,
    and found that the "JFileChooser" class contains a method named
    "getFileSystemView()", through which we can get the "FileSystemView" object
    of a file or a directory, including "virtual directory".
    i checked the source code,
    and found a class named "ShellFolder" inheriting from the "File" class,
    but it's not published in JDK's api--i don't know why.
    now the question is,
    are there any simple classes can implement the "virtual directory" like "My Computer" or "Network Neighbor" besides "JFileChooser"?
    thanks a lot.
    by the way, "FileSystemView" and "ShellFolder" are all abstract class.
    references:
    javax.swing.JFileChooser;
    javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView;
    sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder;

    Hi,
    try this!
    It's a simple System.out.println() of FileSystemView and you only have to add it in your JTree...
    import javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView;
    import java.io.File;
    public class ViewFilesDirs {
    public ViewFilesDirs() {
    FileSystemView view = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();
    System.out.println("Default Dir: " + view.getDefaultDirectory());
    System.out.println("Home Dir: " + view.getHomeDirectory());
    System.out.println("---");
    File[] fs = view.getFiles(view.getHomeDirectory(), true);
    for (int ind=0; ind<fs.length;ind++)
    System.out.println("File/Directory: " + fs[ind]);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    ViewFilesDirs untitled11 = new ViewFilesDirs();
    if you have problem, i'm here!!! :)
    bye bye!!!

  • Question on Olite and its role

    Hey guys I am a newcomer to BPEL. I have been playing around with this stuff for a couple of days. The first time I ran the BPEL server I set up Oracle 10g as the database to store all the process information and so on. I avoided olite at that time because I was accessing a remote database. I setup oracle 10g and ran the scripts as described in the IRCA zip and all was well.
    So now I have reenabled olite and my question is, in the IRCA zip there was a directory called olite that had olite specific scripts in it. There was no README in there however. Am I correct in assuming that the olite datbase if reenabled already hsa the tables required for the BPEL PM to work? Or do I have to run the scripts in the olite directory and if so then how and in what order? I hope my question makes sense. I am just trying to get comfortable with the whole environment.
    Thanks in advance for all replies to my question.

    OLite that comes with BPEL standalone version (not mid-tier) already has the necessary schema. You dont need to run any other script.

  • Deleting a directory and its content

    Hi, I'm trying to delete a series of directories like this batch file does

    @echo Removing "%CD%\b"
    @rmdir /s /q "%CD%\b"
    @echo Removing "%CD%\c"
    @rmdir /s /q "%CD%\c"looking at the api i found that it doesn't seem to have the option to delete a dir and its content, should i use a function like the one in thread:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=188034
    or would it be better to call the batch script with Runtime.exec()? The system is windows only so i don''t need to have compatibility with *nix shells ect.

  • Mail, Exchange, Acitve Directory and Single-Sign On Issues

    I have a brand new MacBook Air with Mavericks. 10.9.3.
    We are using a single sign on account setup for our machines. I enter my exchange log in details to access my account on my computer. It's labeled as a managed mobile account. When I open Mail, it takes forever to connect with the exchange server and download and sync new email. The activity monitor shows it constantly running. I send an email and it takes minutes until it actually sends. When I try to shut down mail I usually have to force quit it to close the app because it's doing some kind of syncing with the server.
    I have all the same settings on a Mac Mini running 10.9.3 except I'm using a local user/admin sign-on. No issue there. So I think it's something with the single sign on on my Air. Any help would be appreciated!

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
