Microsoft Exchange 2007 – OAB Problem
I have set up an Exchange 2007 server for a customer and I bumped into a problem when syncing Outlook 2003. I receive an 0x8004010F error message when you try to synchronize the offline address list.
Solution:
Goto Exchange Management Console – Server Configuration – Mailbox – Database Management tab –
First Storage Group – Mailbox Database. Open properties – Client Settings tab-Offline Address Book field
Select the correct OAB.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – Public Folders
Some powershell stuff on managing Public Folders in Exchange 2007
Create Public Folder
New-PublicFolder -name "Name"
Remove a Public Folder
Remove-PublicFolder -Identity "My Public Folder"
Get information on Public Folders
Get-PublicFolder or Get-PublicFolder -Identity ""
Get information on all public folders
Get-PublicFolder -Recurse | Format-List Name
get info on all system folders (not otherwise visible)
Get-PublicFolder -Identity NON_IPM_SUBTREE -Recurse | Format-List Name
What I need to find out:
– I could not find how to create a Contacts och Calendar Folder
– I could not find out how to change permissions on the root of the Public Folder tree
– I could not change the permission on the public folders

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – Back Pressure
From Microosoft Technet:
——————— Start Quote —————————————-
Back pressure is a system resource monitoring feature of the Microsoft Exchange Transport service that exists on computers that are running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that have the Hub Transport server role or Edge Transport server role installed. Important system resources, such as available hard disk drive space and available memory, are monitored. If utilization of a system resource exceeds the specified limit, the Exchange server stops accepting new connections and messages. This prevents the system resources from being completely overwhelmed and enables the Exchange server to deliver the existing messages. When utilization of the system resource returns to a normal level, the Exchange server accepts new connections and messages.
The following system resources are monitored as part of the back pressure feature:
- Free space on the hard disk drive that stores the message queue database.
- Free space on the hard disk drive that stores the message queue database transaction logs.
- The number of uncommitted message queue database transactions that exist in memory.
- The memory that is used by the EdgeTransport.exe process.
- The memory that is used by all processes.
——————- End Quote ————————————–
I noticed this problem on my newly istalled E2k7 server. The reaseon for this is that by default MS E2k7 places all queues and databases on the installation drive… I simply moved them the correct path which had plenty of space.
I used the Management Console to move the databases and I edited EdgeTransport.exe.config to change the queue path.
If you have this problem in a lab environment you can turn this feature off like this:
– Open EdgeTransport.exe.config, located in the C:Program FilesMicrosoftExchange ServerBin
– Change EnableResourceMonitoring to false
Note: This in NOT recommended in production.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – Connectors
I recently installed my first Exchange 2007 Server and I had problems with recieving mail and found it to be related to the recieve connector.
Exchange 2007 have two kinds of connector. Send connector and recieve connector.
The send connector is located on the Organisation Level and you need to create one for the servers to be able to send mail to internet.
The recieve connector is located in the server level. The Default Recieve Connector is automatically created.
Note: By default it is set up to only recieve mail from authenticated servers. This is a problem if the server is connected directly to the internet. To fix this open properties for the Default Connector and go to “Permission Groups” and click “Anonymous Users” or use Powershell:
set-ReceiveConnector -identity “Name of Default Connector” -PermissionGroups AnonymousUsers

Scripting Exchange 2007
As you know Exchange 2007 can be totally administered by using Powerscript. Here I have tried to collect some scripts for Exchange 2007 administration:
Empty a mailbox database
List mailbox servers in an organisation
get-mailboxserver
List maildatabases on current server
get-mailboxdatabase
List mailboxes in maildatabase
get-mailbox -database "Mailbox Database"
Disable a mailbox
disable-mailbox [mailboxid]
Bulk enable mailboxes for AD users:
selects all users from AD
get-user | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User”}
Selects all users from the OU people
get-user –organizationalUnit people | where-object{$_.RecipientType –eq “User”}
get-user -organizationalUnit domain/OU/SUBOU | where-object{$_.RecipientType -eq "User"}
Note: This will get you only users NOT users with mailboxes
Mailenable users from CSV file
Import-CSV import.csv | foreach {enable-mailbox -Identity $_.Fullname -database EXCHSERVERMailbox Database"}
Where the importfile looks like this:
FullName,
Firstname Lastname, Change Booking Policy for resources
Set-MailboxCalendarSettings -Identity "Resource Name" -BookingWindowInDays 520
