Snapshot with Exchange 2007 and AD backups?
Hi all
I was wondering if best practices in ESX4 changed regarding snapshots for backups go. Is still a bad idea to take a snapshot of your Exchange and AD server? As I know that in the last restore from a snapshot in a situation of failure total was not recommended for AD or Exchange. This changed at all or anyone has tested this more in detail?
Also as far as backups go it is always advisable to make an announcement file level backup and exchange with your agent of backup software (IE. Backup Exec Agent 12.5 Exchange / AD agent, ect)
A lot depends on how you have the Exchange Setup program. You have your database and logs on the VMDK files? RDM? All these things will make a difference on how you protect the virtual machine. In my view, there is no size unique all the backup strategy for virtual machines and applications, so it depends on what your environment looks like.
I have the environments that use snapshots and vRanger to connect to VMS Exchange backup. But the restore strategy depends on what actually happens to know which method is used for the restore.

Exchange 2007 and VMWare snapshots
Hello
I did a few tests with Exchange 2007 and use it with VMWare. I ended up crashing the Exchange to the point that I could not restore it without making a recovery, so I decided to go back to a snapshot I took about five days earlier. Snapshot of restoration went well until I started the Exchange 2007. I could not Exchange databases to mount. I couldn't get around this problem and I had to reinstall to lose more mail databases.
Is there something with the snapshoting who does that? I know that running databases can be difficult snapshot safely, but oracle atleast never fell down due to a restore.
Your best bet and the cleanest method would be to create a series of scheduled tasks.
Guest virtual stop at programmed time
Snapshot of virtual hosts
Power on virtual guest
This must be done for all the virtual hosts which depends on a database of any kind (Exchange, SQL, Oracle, MySQL, etc) If you plan on relying on instant VMware as a method of recovery after a disaster.

Palm hiding information about the Treo 680 icompatibility with Exchange 2007.
Treo 680 does not work with Exchange 2007. Question in a number of discussions in various forums and Palm does not offer a solution. Palm´s chat live cannot help either. SSL is not used if the problem is not related to the certificates. If there is no solution, save us time and advising customers of the problem.

Is there a problem using CFPOP in CF MX 7 with Exchange 2007?
We have a scheduled task that checks the mailbox and, according to the request, replies to the sender with our basic contact information. It worked fine for several years using the CF MX 7 Standard and MS Exchange 2000. We have just changed to MS Exchange 2007 and we get an error as follows: ' connection failure: unknown username or bad password. " We can access the mailbox directly from Exchange by using the account and the password, so we think we send the correct information (example below).
< CFPOP ACTION = "GetHeaderOnly" SERVER = "192.168.1.15" USERNAME = "testaccount" PASSWORD = "testpassword" NAME = "getMail" >
Is there something we're missing? We believe that the IP address, the account and the password is always accurate. We have assigned to this mail server in the Mail tab in the CF Administrator and he can see and route CFMAILs by it.
Any help is appreciated.We discovered that Exchange 2007 has five specific steps that need to occur in a particular order for CFPOP resume working properly. We did it (despite several security issues) because this function is strictly internal. Not recommended for an application available for the general public.
Procedure for Exchange 2007 works for CFPOP:
(1) start the service of POP on the Exchange 2007 server.
(2) allow the e-mail accounts to use POP3.
(3) lower the requirements of security on these accounts to allow CF to send clear text instead of encrypted (SSL) requests for POP3.
(4) set the Exchange Server to accept the relay.
(5) lower the safety requirements for the relay.I hope I explained this correctly. That's how my network supervisor explained to me there.

I can't add an Exchange 2007 account in Corporate Sync. I have an Exchange 2003 account works fine, but the Exchange 2007 keeps saying invalid account information. I use the generated self Cert deployment Exchange and not a public cert if it matters. I also tried to use SMTP on Port 587, I can receive emails, but cannot send via this method. I tried 2 different Exchange 2007, OWA on the two exchange 2007 servers is defined and works very well.
I agree, if you can connect with the touchdown, then other connections should be good. I just re-read your first message.
I think your self generated cert is the problem. There is no root to validate the cert self-produced, and from what I can tell there is no way to install certificates root on the Cliq. Reading the android forums, there is no central key database on Android, each application maintains its own keys and the root certificates.
Touchdown, have its own store of certificates and import tool. Also, true touchdown push. Construction Enterprise sync tool is every 15 minutes.

Here's the skinny:
1200 + users. approx. 600 GB data messaging; 1 CASE/HTX server & 1 Server MBX under EXC 2007 Enterprise 64-bit, server 08. We have a lot of equipment and storage for the design. I have questions on is the configfor of the vm to the server of the mailbox. I had intended to give the vm vHDD 2. 1 vmfs containing BONES and such and the 2nd vHDD would be a RDM to FC SAN volume.
All thoughts, recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I would create readers separate newspapers and mailboxes, databases between 500 GB and more boxes to the letters and 100 GB for logs and each environment varies so plan accordingly. Did you check NetApp & Exchange 2007 on VMware best practices for different scenarios and designs. Here's a quick look at http://www-download.netapp.com/edm/TT/docs/NetApp_VMware_Exchange_TR.pdf I'm assuming you use CCR so plan carefully for optimal performance and layoffs.

Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007 (public folder favorite Outlook)
Adding a public folder to favorite Outlook
Under favorite folders, all bookmarks that link to public folders have "public folders" added to name favorites.
This means that I must make the column wide artificially in order to not see the number of unread messages in these folders.
Is there a way to display the Favorites so the expression "in the public records" does not appear as part of the name of the folder?
Thank you.

Exchange 2007 SP3 increase in message size does not work why?
I have a windows server 2008R2 with Exchange 2007 SP3, currently the maximum to send and receive message size is 30 MB. My MD needs to send an email which is 60 MB.
I went through and changed all the parameters in which I expect to do. If I run best practices, it signals that the Send connectors and the receiver are high at 60 MB. Fine, I said.
I open Microsoft Outlook 2007 and try to attach several files to 5 MB per element. Outlook has that attachments are great when I get to 29 MB.
This is only a temporary job, so not worried, but can, my concern is what's wrong.
We had Exchange 2007 running on windows 2008R2 who say it cannot be done while we had a server crash. I had to transfer exchange on a temp server. I've migrated on the main server which is brand new but this time, I installed Excahnge 2007SP3. I don't know if this migration has nothing to do with it.
Any help would be great
