Ok, so I was thinking (which is always a very dangerous thing!) – after my last post on how you can programmatically count Mailboxes per Exchange Database – I was wondering how you can programmatically get a list of all Exchange Mailbox Databases in Active Directory via their distinguishedName. Why was I thinking this? – […]
Ok, I know that the above is pretty easy using Powershell. In fact it is possible to also implement this using Automation Runspaces (again executing Powershell cmdlets from within the C# project) to achieve the same thing. But for a program that I am writing at the moment I needed to take a slight different […]
In January I released a very simple tool called ‘WinWOL’ (Windows Wake on LAN) which, as the name suggests is a Windows based Wake on LAN manager. Over the last few months I have been looking at the software again and wanted to change how it worked to make it a little simpler to use. […]
I have been adding a few features to the Distribution List Reporting Tool which I thought that would be useful and I am pleased to announce that I think that it is ready. Hope that you like it. Change History Version 1.0 Initial release Version 1.1 Added in handling for environments where there are no […]
Last week I released version 2.0 of the DLRT for Exchange 2010. This week I am pleased to release a version which is compatible with Exchange 2013 which can be installed on Exchange 2013 servers. Why two versions? Normally I like to try and maintain a single code base for my tools across different versions […]
NOTE: If you would like to install the DLRT on Exchange 2013 – please use the version that has been posted here: http://www.telnetport25.com/2013/02/released-version-2-0-of-the-dlrt-for-exchange-2013/ A couple of weeks ago I released Version 1.0 of the Exchange Distribution List Reporting tool. Since then there have been a couple of updates to the original 1.0 code (versions 1.1 […]
NOTE: Versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 of this tool have now been superseded by version 2.0 of this tool – you can find the associated article here: http://www.telnetport25.com/2013/01/releasedversion-2-0-of-the-distribution-list-reporting-tool-dlrt/ NOTE: If you would like to install the DLRT on Exchange 2013 – please use the version that has been posted here: http://www.telnetport25.com/2013/02/released-version-2-0-of-the-dlrt-for-exchange-2013/ A couple of organisations […]
A few weeks ago I took a bit of break from work and all things Exchange and sat down to write what I call some “self help tools”. In essence, every now and then I write small utilities to make laborious administrative processes easier to manage. One such tool that I needed was a simple […]
Note: The download version of this tool has been updated to reflect the lastest version. Just a very quick update to the RUPS tool, taking it to version 1.3a – nothing too major, just a small bug fix to the logic which detects and then manipulates the MSExchangeIS and MSExchangeTransport services – basically if you […]
Note: The download version of this tool has been updated to reflect the latest version. Ok, I admit that this is turning into a little bit of a saga – for those of you whom have been following the site recently will know that on the 26th November I released my Roll-Up Encapsulation tool (version […]
Note: The download version of this tool has been updated to the latest released of the tool – this article is still relevant however. Today Microsoft released Service Pack 2 for Exchange 2010 – and I thought that I would take this as an opportunity to update (again) my Roll-Up tool to support Service Packs […]
Note: The download for this article has been updated with version 1.5 of the tool. Yesterday I published version 1 of my Exchange 2010 Roll-Up encapsulation tool – and today I am releasing version 1.1. The good news is that there is nothing wrong with the original version (i.e. for once I have not had a […]
Note: There is an update to this post located here: http://www.telnetport25.com/2011/11/update-to-the-rups-tool-apply-roll-ups-to-exchange-2010/ Additionally the original installation files for download have been replaced with the 1.5 versions of the tool. There are a number of very good articles around on the web which focus on what the appropriate or best practice method is to apply Roll-ups to […]
Client Access Arrays were introduced in Exchange 2010 as a means to provide High Availability scenarios for RPC clients (MAPI). In previous versions of Exchange RPC / MAPI access was handled by the Mailbox Server role, where OWA and HTTP access were handled by the Client Access Server role. In Exchange 2010 – the Client […]
I am probably the only person in the world whom finds the process of exporting Exchange Certificates to a file within Exchange 2010 a little bit fiddly – in fact – whilst I think about it, I found it fiddly in Exchange 2007. Now that does not mean that I don’t know how to export […]
I like to write about my technical screw-ups – especially when I am sober enough to remember them (perhaps I have just found the root cause…) as they can serve either as warning not to try something, or as an indicator to my overall competence – I will let you all be judge of which […]
Whoa Grogie, what the hell is DynaVert? – something to do with Prehistoric lizards? – thankfully no!. DynaVert is a little tool that I have come up with, written in .NET that in essence converts Dynamic Distribution Lists into "Regular” distribution lists in just a few simple clicks! The inspiration for this tool came from […]
