| Using Microsoft Exchange 2007 / 2010 Management Shell (PowerShell with extensions), you can pull out some very exciting statistics. That was never that easy in the pre Exchange 2007 era. |  |

Ever wanted to enumerate all Public Folders and their email addresses? here’s a way to do this using Microsoft Exchange Management Shell (EMS)
Get-Mailpublicfolder | select name , alias ,EmailAddresses | foreach { "Name: "+$_.name "Alias: "+$_.alias $_.EmailAddresses | foreach { if($_.SmtpAddress){ if($_.IsPrimaryAddress){ "Primary SmtpAddress: $($_.SmtpAddress)" } else { "SmtpAddress: $($_.SmtpAddress)" } } } write-output "" }
or redirect the output into a file for analysis, whatever..
Get-Mailpublicfolder | select name , alias ,EmailAddresses | foreach { "Name: "+$_.name "Alias: "+$_.alias $_.EmailAddresses | foreach { if($_.SmtpAddress){ if($_.IsPrimaryAddress){ "Primary SmtpAddress: $($_.SmtpAddress)" } else { "SmtpAddress: $($_.SmtpAddress)" } } } write-output "" } | out-file -filepath c:\publicFolders.txt -encoding ASCII
Ever needed to export the list of mailbox of your Microsoft Exchange 2007 with all alias and all the smtp addresses? Try this with this command:
Get-Mailbox | select name , alias ,EmailAddresses | foreach { "Name: "+$_.name "Alias: "+$_.alias $_.EmailAddresses | foreach { if($_.SmtpAddress){ if($_.IsPrimaryAddress){ "Primary SmtpAddress: $($_.SmtpAddress)" } else { "SmtpAddress: $($_.SmtpAddress)" } } } write-output "" } > c:\smtp.txt
or use the out-file cmdlet..

When you try to uninstall or remove Microsoft Exchange 2003, you’re getting the error message:
Microsoft Exchange Installation Wizard
The component Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboriation Server cannot be assigned the action “Remove” because:
- This server is the Recipient Update Server for the domain “someDomain.tld”. You cannot uninstall this server until you select a different Recipient Update Server for this domain.

If you install Microsoft Exchange Server out of the box and you get the following error message when trying to receive an email:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: test@christiano.ch SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<sunny@christiano.ch> SIZE=6841: host xyz.christiano.ch [194.123.18.170]: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated
If you’re using Exchange Server 2007 in a topology with an Edge Transport server, the anti-spam agents – Connection Filtering, Content Filter, Sender ID, Sender Filter, Recipient Filter, and Protocol Analysis – are installed on the Edge server. You do not need these agents installed on the Hub server(s).
In environments without an Edge server role, these need to be installed manually on the Hub Transport server(s).
This is a little tutorial about how to install a Microsoft Exchange Catch All Agent / Mailbox. ‘Catch all’ is the ability of an SMTP server to redirect messages to non-existing recipients to a specific address. For example, your domain is like @christiano.ch. Someone sends an email to sunny@christiano.ch and you don’t have a mailbox with the corresponding email address, the email can’t be delivered. The sender get’s a notification (NDR – Non Delivery Receipt, STMP RFC Error Code 550) similiar to this one:
Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server integrates multiple scan engines from industry-leading security firms into a comprehensive, layered solution, helping businesses protect their Microsoft Exchange Server messaging environments from viruses, worms, spam, and inappropriate content. In this post i documented the installation of Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange 2007 in the form of a tutorial.
Yep, today is a geeky freaky day. I’ll install an Exchange 2007 SP1 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 Datacenter. Unfortunately the whole Microsoft Exchange Server will be installed on one single server.
From the security perspective this setup is not recommended, anyway, that’s the way to go..
Starting position is: a Server with Microsoft Windows 2008 x64 Datacenter Edition (Installing it on a Standard and Enterprise Edition does not make a difference)..
First Step is, join a the Server to an existing Domain. Exchange Server Setup won’t let you install Exchange Server on a Machine which is not member of a domain.
Whenever you start Setup.exe run it elevated (Run as administrator)
