Okay, so I like the new Gmail design – cleaner and more whitespace – just looks much more modern that the existing one. But it’s still bloody annoying ! The thing is, I hate having to go across to the little ‘back arrow’ reply icon, click the dropdown next to it, just to get to [...]

February 23rd, 2010
2 Comments
This is a pretty obscure gotcha.. I was trying to export an Edge Subscription XML file from my Edge Transport server (a demo Exchange 2010 environment)There is no GUI for this in Exchange Management Console, so you have to use the Exchange Management Shell. Opened up EMS and entered the command : New-EdgeSubscription –Filename “c:Edge.xml” [...]
Outlook Web Access – Document Access
February 22nd, 2010

It seems that ‘Document Access’ from Outlook Web Access (OWA) is no longer supported in Exchange/OWA 2010. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998911.aspx#Disc2007to2010 However, the way this element of ‘Discontinued Features and De-Emphasized Functionality’ is worded (“Can’t use…”) makes me think it is more of a known issue than a conscious decision they have made – where is the reasoning [...]

November 10th, 2009

Yesterday as I was trying to install Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition, I got a pretty strange issue. Everything worked well up till the ‘installing mailbox role’ phase – it seemed to fail pretty quickly when it got there. Subsequent retries also failed (quickly) with exactly the same error – ‘Access Denied’ [...]

This week (so far) has been good – in terms of completing things, productivity and new products. First off, Microsoft finally released PowerShell for Vista. No more having to ‘play’ on my old lab machine to get to grips with this stuff. There seem to be a number of people reporting failed installs(due to EFS [...]

At work we are heavily into MAPI (we provide email archiving solutions). MAPI is Microsoft’s mainstream supported and recommended protocol for accessing Exchange. There are currently two main versions of MAPI – ‘Exchange MAPI’ and ‘Outlook MAPI’.

The company I work for (C2C Systems) are a Microsoft Gold Partner this is great in that it gives us a whole bunch of licenses for internal use, it also gives us (almost ??) unlimited access to software for test, development and demonstration.
