Calendar items not working properly on Nokia phones after Notes migration

October 29th, 2010 No comments

I have seen this issue at several customers, when migrating from Notes (Domino) to Exchange 2010 using the Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange (Quest NME).

The problem is ActiveSync not working correct on Nokia phones. Only new calendar items (after the migration) is synced to the Nokia phones. All older and therefore migrated calendar items are not synchronized to the Nokia phones.

I have now come across a great script from Kent, which corrects the calendar items.

Read his blog post and get the script here.

Scripts for Public Folder Client Permissions Management in Exchange 2010

October 1st, 2010 No comments

Exchange 2010 ships with some powerful scripts for managing Public Folder Client Permissions.

These scripts only apply to servers running Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010, you can not specify a server running older versions of Exchange Server, although the Public Folder hierarchy can still be on an Exchange 2003, in case you want to add additional replicas etc (see my previous post).

The scripts are located together with the Exchange binaries, under: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts.

The scripts recursively goes through and updates your public folders replicas for every public folder in a hierarchy that you specify.

Scripts for Public Folder Replica Management in Exchange 2010

Set additional servers as Public Folder Replicas

October 1st, 2010 No comments

In most transition phases from Exchange 2003, it is often a tedious process of adding the new Exchange 2010 servers (it also works for Exchange 2007), as additional Replicas on all existing Public Folders.

Previous using bulk operations with PFDAVADMIN was the fastest way forward. But why not use the script tools that comes with Exchange 2007 and 2010, it is even faster and more simple to use.

AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 is in my opinion THE tool to use! :)

The script is located together with the Exchange binaries, under: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts.

The script recursively goes through and updates your public folders replicas for every public folder in a hierarchy that you specify.

To add an additional Exchange server for your default public folders run:

AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder "\" -ServerToAdd Servername

To add an additional Exchange server for your system public folders run:

AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE" -ServerToAdd Servername

With a lot of Public Folders the command can run for a long time, but just be patience, if there is problems, it will fail.

Confirm that Replication Partners on either the System Manager on Exchange 2003 or run this command on the Exchange 2010 environment:

Get-PublicFolder "\" -Recurse | ft name,replicas

or

Get-PublicFolder "\" -Recurse | fl name,replicas
