Tips, thoughts and notes from the world of IT
I’m a huge fan of the Sysinternals Suite – Process Monitor being one of my faves – and am loving using PowerShell to do ever more, but this post is at another level: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2012/06/01/what-s-causing-that-dfsr-change-storm.aspx
Hopefully I’ll be able to use similar techniques for those really tricky problems that rear their ugly head from time to time. Bring it on!
You’ve installed Active Directory Certificate Services and need to issue a certificate to Exchange 2010.
To find out the version and build number of Exchange 2007/2010, you can do one of the following:
This will give you the major version and service pack version numbers – in my case it major version 8 (aka Exchange 2007) and Service Pack 3.
To find out the Update Rollup version, navigate to Control Panel > Programs > View Installed updates on your Exchange Server:
Although the POP and IMAP services are disabled by default in Exchange 2007, every mailbox will have the features enabled. This means everyone will be able to use POP and IMAP if you enable the services. What if you only want a few users to use them?
Use this PowerShell cmdlet to disable POP and IMAP for all users in Exchange 2007/2010:
Get-CASMailbox | Set-CASMailbox -PopEnabled $false -ImapEnabled $false
You can then enable the POP and IMAP features for specific users via the GUI or by using this cmdlet:
Set-CASMailbox -Identity adam.rush -PopEnabled $true -ImapEnabled $true
