    Ξεκινώντας το πρώτο μου Post για το 2010, θα ήθελα να ευχηθώ να έχουμε μία ευλογημένη χρονιά με υγεία, δύναμη, φώτιση και επιτυχίες. Το πρώτο θέμα μου για το 2010 δεν θα μπορούσε παρά να περιέχει Exchange Server.
    Αντιμετώπισα ένα θέμα πρόσφατα το οποίο ήταν κατά κάποιο τρόπο θα το έλεγα «κουφό». Μετά από καθαρή εγκατάσταση SBS 2008 Premium SP1, ενώ όλα πήγαν καλά με την εγκατάσταση και ενεργοποιούμε τον SBS 2008 Premium SP1 όλα κανονικά χωρίς κανένα απολύτως θέμα, πάμε λοιπόν να ανοίξουμε τον Exchange Server 2007 SP1εδώ λοιπόν ξεκίνησαν όλα με το ακόλουθο:

    Το πρώτο ερώτημα που μου δημιουργήθηκε ήταν, «πώς είναι δυνατόν με ενεργοποιημένο τον SBS Server 2008 και την εξ’ορισμου ενεργοποίηση του Exchange Server 2007 SP1 να μου ζητάει να δώσω το Product Key για τον Exchange Server 2007 SP1 και να τον ενεργοποιήσω;» Και ας υποθέσουμε ότι προσπαθούμε να δώσουμε το Product Key για τον Exchange Server 2007, ποιο Product Key να δώσουμε για ένα προϊόν που είναι ενσωματωμένο σε ένα άλλο; Για να μην σας ταλαιπωρώ άλλο να σας πω ότι το παρόν θεωρείτο Bug και επιλύετε με το «ActivateExchange Tool» το οποίο είναι διαθέσιμο μόνο από την Microsoft και δίδετε μόνο για επίλυση του παρόντος θέματος….

    Η Microsoft αναγνωρίζει ότι πολλοί πελάτες τις στηρίζονται σε BlackBerry Servers. Αυτός είναι ο λόγος για την στενή συνεργασία της με την RIM για να προσθέσει την υποστήριξη του BlackBerry με τον Exchange Server 2010. Η BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) είναι fully supported με τον Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 και Technical Support Services είναι άμεσα διαθέσιμες.
    Προκειμένου να καταστεί δυνατή η πλήρης υποστήριξη, απαιτείται η εγκατάσταση των ακόλουθων ενημερωμένων εκδόσεων:
    Roll-Up 1 (RU1) for Exchange Server 2010 MAPI v6.5.8147 BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0.1 Maintenance Release 1 (MR1) Και οι τρεις από αυτές τις ενημερωμένες εκδόσεις είναι διαθέσιμες στους χρήστες του Exchange 2010 Server και το BlackBerry Enterprise Server v.5.0 με το Service Pack 1.
    BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0 Service Pack 1 and Maintenance Release 1 can be found here:

    Η Microsoft ανακοίνωσε σήμερα 8 Οκτωβρίου 2010 το Update Rollup 1 για τον Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1.
    Το παρόν update περιέχει fixes για τους ακόλουθους ρόλους:
    Client Access Edge Transport Hub Transport Mailbox Unified Messaging Ποια θέματα επιλύονται με το παρόν update rollup:
    2028967 Event ID 3022 is logged and you still cannot replicate a public folder from one Exchange Server 2010 server to another 2251610 The email address of a user is updated unexpectedly after you run the Update-Recipient cmdlet on an Exchange Server 2010 server 978292 An IMAP4 client cannot send an email message that has a large attachment in a mixed Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Server 2003 environment Η διαθεσιμότητα του Rollup 2 για τον Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 έχει σχεδιαστεί να είναι διαθέσιμο στις αρχές με μέσα Δεκεμβρίου.
    Πώς να εγκαταστήσετε το update rollup
    Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (KB2407028) Σημείωση για τους χρήστες Forefront:
    Για όσους από εσάς χρησιμοποιείτε Forefront, πρέπει να εκτελέσετε αυτά τα σημαντικά βήματα από τη γραμμή εντολών «command line» στο Forefront directory πριν και μετά τη διαδικασία της εγκατάστασης του rollup. Στην περίπτωση που δεν πραγματοποιηθούν αυτά τα βήματα, τα Exchange services για το Exchange Information Store και Transport δεν θα μπορέσουν να ξεκινήσουν. Θα χρειαστεί να απενεργοποιήσετε το Forefront μέσω «fscutility /disable» προτού εγκαταστήσετε το patch και στη συνέχεια ενεργοποιήστε το ξανά μετά την εγκατάσταση του patch με την εκτέλεση της εντολής «fscutility /enable» να ξεκινήσει και πάλι μετά την εγκατάσταση.

    Nine little gigabytes, holding just the date, someone jammed a write protect, and then there were eight.

    Eight little gigabytes should have been eleven, and then they cut the budget, now there are seven.

    Seven little gigabytes, involved in mathematics stored an even larger prime, now there are six.

    Six little gigabytes, working like a hive, one died of overwork, now there are five.

    Five little gigabytes, trying to add more plugged in the wrong lead, now there are four.

    Four little gigabytes, failing frequently, one used for spare parts, now there are three.

    Three little gigabytes have too much to do service man on holiday, now there are two.

    Two little gigabytes, badly over run, took the work elsewhere, now just need one.

    One little gigabyte, systems far too small shut the whole thing down, now there's none at all.

    Βρισκόμαστε λίγο πριν τα Χριστούγεννα και όλα είναι γιορτινά. Τα Greek Geek Girls θέλησαν απόψε να σας διασκεδάσουν με τον δικό τους μοναδικό τρόπο και να σας χαλαρώσουν από μια κουραστική ημέρα… Πάμε λοιπόν!!



     

    Why Geek Girls rule

    1. They are generally available.

    2. Other men will tend not to steal them.

    3. They can fix things.

    4. Your computer will love them.

    5. They're smart.



    Where the Geek Girls lurks

    While they are often into alternative music, geek girls tend not to go to shows too often. Instead you'll find them hanging out with their friends, discussing the latest hardware revolution or perfecting their Bill Gates impressions. You know how some people wear t-shirts with their favorite bands on them, thus showing that they went to certain shows? Well, geek girls wear t-shirts with the logos of different software companies on them, thus showing that they are up on the latest releases.



    Geek Girl Lifestyles

    The geek girl has long work habits and tends to bring her work home with her. She seems permanently connected to her hard disk. You must at least appear interested in her work. Generally, a solid understanding of the computer is a must; if you cannot master this, you should at least be able to talk the talk. Remember most geeks are anal and they get stressed about details which appear insignificant. Be understanding, put on your best face and empathize.


    To relax, geeks love to play the latest computer games. Let her play Tomb Raider III if she wants to. Act concerned if she's stuck or has just been erased. Some geeks love to try to help people on the internet who say that they are stuck in a game. She comes up with clever riddles instead of directing them point blank. Geeks also like to go to sci-fi and Japanese animated movies, again, a basically harmless vent for your woman.

     







    One last thing

    Because they have been so abused and ignored by society, many geek girls have gone underground. You may actually know some and just haven't noticed it. They often feel resentful, and misunderstood, and it is important to realize this as you grow closer to them. Don't ever try to force the issue, or make crazy demands that she choose between her computer and you. Remember, her computer has been there for her whole life; you are a new interloper she hasn't quite grasped yet.

    Geek girls thrive on mystery and love challenges and intellectual puzzles. Don't you consider yourself one? Wouldn't you like a little intellectual stimulation of your own? We thought so.

    The Exchange Team is pleased to announce that in the second half of calendar year 2011 we will be releasing Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2) to our customers. With SP2, the following new features and capabilities will be included:
    Outlook Web Access (OWA) Mini: A browse-only version of OWA designed for low bandwidth and resolution devices. Based on the existing Exchange 2010 SP1 OWA infrastructure, this feature provides a simple text based interface to navigate the user’s mailbox and access to the global address list from a plurality of mobile devices. Single Sign-on for Outlook Web Access: Providing the ability for users who have already authenticated with their directory credentials to not need to re-enter them again upon opening OWA. Hybrid Configuration Wizard: Organizations can choose to deploy a hybrid scenario where some mailboxes are on-premises and some are in Exchange Online with Microsoft Office 365. Hybrid deployments may be needed for migrations taking place over weeks, months or indefinite timeframes. This wizard helps simplify the configuration of Exchange sharing features, like: calendar and free/busy sharing, secure mailflow, mailbox moves, as well as online archive. Address Book Policies: Allows organizations to segment their address books into smaller scoped subsets of users providing a more refined user experience than the previous manual configuration approach. We also blogged about this new feature recently in GAL Segmentation, Exchange Server 2010 and Address Book Policies. Customer Requested Fixes: All fixes contained within update rollups released prior to Service Pack 2 will also be contained within SP2. Details of our regular Exchange 2010 release rhythm can be found in Exchange 2010 Servicing. In order to support these newly added features, there will be a requirement for customers to update their Active Directory schema. We’ve heard the feedback loud and clear from our customers on multiple occasions regarding delays that can be caused to deployment as a result of needing to update your schema and as such with the release of Exchange 2010 SP2 are communicating the required changes ahead of release in order to assist our customers with planning their upgrade path ahead of time.
    We hope these announcements come as welcome news to you. It is our custom to provide ongoing improvements to features, functionality and security of Exchange Server, based largely on customer feedback, and to provide continual innovation on an already great messaging product. We look forward to receiving your comments and announcing more detailed information as we continue to develop the features that will be included in SP2.

    We're happy to announce that we've enhanced Exchange Server Deployment Assistant to include support for configuring rich coexistence (also known as “hybrid deployment”) for organizations interested in maintaining some users on-premises with Exchange 2010 and some users hosted in the cloud by Microsoft Office 365 for enterprises. This scenario is in addition to the existing support for configuring rich coexistence between on-premises Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 organizations and Office 365.
    The new coexistence information for the Exchange 2010 environment is only available in English at this time and requires that your existing Exchange 2010 servers are updated to Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
    Rich coexistence (“hybrid deployment”) offers organizations the ability to extend the feature-rich experience and administrative control they have with their existing on-premises Microsoft Exchange organization to the cloud. It provides the seamless look and feel of a single Exchange organization between an on-premises organization and a cloud-based organization. In addition, coexistence can serve as an intermediate step to moving completely to a cloud-based Exchange organization. This approach is different than the simple Exchange migration (aka cutover migration) and staged Exchange migration options currently offered by Office 365 outlined in Email Migration Overview in Exchange Online help.
    If you're not already familiar with the Exchange Deployment Assistant, it allows you to create Exchange Server 2010 on-premises configuration and deployment instructions that are customized to your environment. It asks you a small set of simple questions and it provides a checklist with instructions that are designed to deploy or configure Exchange 2010 based on your answers. In addition to the online checklist, you can even print a PDF of your checklist.

    Figure 1: The Exchange Server Deployment Assistant (ExDeploy) is a web-based tool that helps you upgrade to Exchange 2010 on-premises, deploy a hybrid on-premises and Exchange Online organization or migrate to Exchange Online
    Your feedback is very important for the continued improvement of this tool. We would love your feedback on this new scenario and any other area of the Deployment Assistant. Feel free to either post comments on this blog post, provide feedback in the Office 365 community migration and coexistence forum, or send an email to [email protected] via the 'Feedback' link located in the header of every page of the Deployment Assistant. Thanks!

    After you install Internet Explorer 9 on a computer that has Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 management tools installed, you might run into a situation where closing the Exchange Management Console (EMC) results in the following error:


    “You must close all dialog boxes before you can close Exchange Management Console”

    This might happen even if there are no property pages left opened that you can see. Please note here that not all of our customers who installed IE9 on a computer with Exchange management tools (server or workstation) have run into this problem.
    Are there any workarounds?
    As it stands right now, we are not aware of a reliable workaround for this problem. Terminating the EMC using the Task Manager (or possibly a command or script) does not have adverse effects on management tools functionality, but is clearly a non-optimal solution.
    What are we doing to address this?
    The EMC is implemented as a Microsoft Management Console snap-in. We are working closely with both MMC and Internet Explorer teams to find a solution to this problem. Due to the complex nature of several products involved and the interoperability between them, identifying the root cause was not simple; things are still in process and we do not have a firm solution or a date to share with you yet. We do, however, want to say that we are very aware of this issue and several teams are collaborating and working to get this addressed. Once more details are available, we will be sure to share them here.

    Process of Exchange Server 2013 Preview installation in Windows Server 2012.
    The new Exchange Server 2013, split in 2 roles Client Access Server and Mailbox Server (In addition, Exchange 2013 Preview works with the Exchange 2010 Edge server role.) The Mailbox server includes all the traditional server components found in Exchange 2010:
    the Client Access protocols, Hub Transport service, Mailbox databases, and Unified Messaging. The Mailbox server handles all activity for a given mailbox. The Client Access server provides authentication, redirection, and proxy services. The Client Access server itself doesn't do any data rendering. The Client
    Access server is a thin and stateless server. There is never anything queued or stored on the Client Access server. The Client Access server offers all the usual client access protocols: HTTP, POP and IMAP, and SMTP.
    Before we proceed, we need to check the prerequisites for Exchange Server 2013, let’s see what we need to check before we begin:
    Make sure that the functional level of your forest is at least Windows Server 2003, and that the schema master is
    running Windows Server 2003 with SP1 or later. The full installation option of Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 must be used for all servers
    running Exchange 2013 Preview server roles or management tools. You must first join the computer to the appropriate internal Active Directory forest and domain. Some prerequisites require you to reboot the server to complete installation. To prepare Active Directory for Exchange 2013 Preview, you must install the following software on the computer that will be used to prepare Active Directory:
    Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 Windows Management Framework 3.0 After you install the software, open Windows PowerShell and install the Remote Tools
    Administration Pack.
    On a Windows Server 2012 computer, run the following command:
    Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADDS

    OS prerequisites for both the CAS and Mailbox roles:
    Do the following to install the required Windows roles and features:
    Open Windows PowerShell. Run the following command to install the required Windows components. Install-WindowsFeature AS-HTTP-Activation, Desktop-Experience,NET-Framework-45-Features, RPC-over-HTTP-proxy,RSAT-Clustering,Web-Mgmt-Console, WAS-Process-Model, Web-Asp-Net45, Web-Basic-Auth,Web-Client-Auth,Web-Digest-Auth, Web-Dir-Browsing, Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Http-Errors, Web-Http-Logging, Web-Http-Redirect, Web-Http-Tracing,Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-ISAPI-Filter, Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-Metabase,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-Mgmt-Service, Web-Net-Ext45, Web-Request-Monitor,Web-Server, Web-Stat-Compression, Web-Static-Content, Web-Windows-Auth,Web-WMI, Windows-Identity-Foundation

    After you've installed the operating system roles and features, install the following
    software in the order shown:
    Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack SP1 64 bit For Exchange 2013 Preview, you must also uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Beta Redistributable
    (x64). This must be done after you've installed UCMA, but before you run Exchange 2013 Preview Setup.
    To uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Beta Redistributable (x64), do the following:
    Open Control Panel > Programs and Features. Select Visual C++ 11 Beta Redistributable (x64) - 11.0.50531 and then click Uninstall. In Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Beta setup, click Uninstall. When Microsoft Visual C++ 11 Beta is uninstalled, click Close.

    Πρόσφατα αντιμετώπισα το εξής θέμα με έναν W indows Server 2008, και μήνυμα λάθους στα Event Log το ακόλουθο:
    Error message
    Event ID: 8201
    Source: SRMSVC
    Description: File server Resource Manager Service Error: Unexpected error
    Ωραίο μήνυμα ,δεν νομίζετε ?

    Το ακριβή πρόβλημα που υπήρξε ήταν με το File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) ρόλο. Ενώ όλα είχαν στηθεί σωστά, ο ρόλος File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) στον Server, τα πάντα σωστά ρυθμισμένα, δεν μπορούσαμε να λάβουμε e-mail notifications.
    Μετά από πολύ έρευνα και αναπαραγωγής του προβλήματος κατέληξα στα ακόλουθα βήματα τα οποία και δούλεψαν σωστά.
    (Ζητώ συγνώμη που έχω τα βήματα μου στα αγγλικά)
    To work around this problem, you must setup again File Server Resource Manager. To do this, follow these steps:
    Setup a share resource with the proper dependencies (network name and physical disk) Start up File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) Right click on File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) and select “Connect to Another Computer” Enter the network name that you setup in step 1. Once connected, go to Quota Management Under Actions click on 'Create Quota' Put in the path to the share resource that you created in step 1. You can use also Browse button if you like. Choose what type of quota template you wish to use Click on Create Setting up File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) console to Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista client’s box you will need to install the MMC 3.0 from the following link:

    Τελικά η αναπαραγωγή του προβλήματος μου έλυσε τα χέρια, και η αιτία του προβλήματος είναι η εξής:
    Όταν τα file system quotas έχουν υπερβεί τα όρια ή όταν υπάρχει παραβιάσει των αρχείων συστήματος. Αυτά τα ολίγα για την ώρα…

    Why should I use Office 2010?

    Office 2010 can help you express your ideas more visually.
    With Office 2010, you can easily create powerful visuals and apply professional-looking designs to photos and text, and to videos in PowerPoint. From new and improved picture-editing effects such as saturation and watercolor to video editing and formatting capabilities such as trimming, fades and reflections, Office 2010 opens up a world of design options to give life to your ideas.

    Enjoy the familiar Microsoft Office experience on the web.
    With Office Web Apps, you can take advantage of greater flexibility when working in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. That’s because you can access your work at any time from a Smartphone or computer with an Internet connection.2 Create amazing documents using Office 2010 and then easily post them online so you can share your work with others from across town or around the world. It’s convenient and easy.

    Connect, share and accomplish more when working together.
    Now you can get more done when working in groups. The new co-authoring experience with Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010 and OneNote 2010 lets you work on a file with multiple people simultaneously from different locations. Brainstorm ideas, control versions better and meet deadlines faster — it’s a snap with Office 2010.

    Store and track all your ideas and notes in one place.
    With Microsoft OneNote 2010, you get the ultimate digital notebook for tracking, organizing and sharing your text, photos, and video and audio files. New features such as version tracking, highlighting and Linked Notes give you more control over your notes so you’re always on top of the latest changes and sources of your information.

    Create powerful data insights and visualization.
    With new data analysis and visualization features in Excel 2010, you can easily track and highlight important data trends. For example, the new Sparklines feature delivers a clear and compact visual representation of your data with small charts in a cell. The new Slicers feature lets you filter and segment your PivotTable data in multiple layers so you can spend more time analyzing and less time formatting.

    Access your work across devices and platforms.
    Office 2010 gives you a familiar and intuitive experience across PCs, Smartphones1 and various Web browsers so that you have the freedom to use the system from more locations and on multiple devices.

    Deliver more compelling presentations.

    What is the Microsoft Office Backstage™ view?

    Microsoft Office Backstage view replaces the file menu across the core Microsoft Office 2010 applications. Backstage view helps you find commonly accessed commands when opening or finishing a document, including opening new or existing files, defining document properties, and sharing your information.
    Designed using data on product feature usage generated by the Customer Experience Improvement Program, the Backstage view also brings together related tasks, making it easier to work with your documents. For instance, printing tools — previously spread across several commands (page layout, preview, print) — are all together in one Print tab within the Backstage view. You can assign metadata to a file, check it for accessibility, or make sure it’s finalized and ready to share with others. Backstage lets you share, print, and publish your documents with just a few clicks.
    Backstage view is extensible. For businesses, IT can incorporate work and information flows from other systems and highlight them right within the most useful Microsoft Office application. For example, Backstage view lets you bring those back-end accounting or HR workflows right into Office 2010.
    Back to Top

    What is the Ribbon?

    The Ribbon replaces traditional menus and toolbars with a fresh, highly visual layout of commands, organized into a set of tabs, to help you find the features you need fast. The Ribbon was introduced in Office 2007, when it enhanced a few of the Microsoft Office applications. It made the available commands and tools more visible and easier to access so you could focus more easily on your content.
    In Office 2010, every application has the Ribbon, including favorites such as OneNote 2010, Publisher 2010, InfoPath 2010, SharePoint Workspace 2010 (the new name for Microsoft Office Groove 2007) and the new Office Web Apps. The Ribbon brings new features such as Outlook 2010 Quick Steps to your attention and is customizable so you can personalize it to your work style.
    Back to Top

    Can I customize Office 2010 based on how I use the product?

    With an improved Ribbon across all the Office 2010 applications, you can access your favorite commands quickly and create custom tabs to personalize the experience.
    Ribbon tabs can be customized or replaced with your own custom tabs. Through the Options menu in the Backstage view, you can easily create new tabs that bring together your favorite commands and groups. Existing tabs can also be customized to fit your needs.

    If you’re a business IT professional, take advantage of the new Microsoft Office Backstage view to incorporate work and information flows from other systems and highlight them right within the most useful Microsoft Office application. For example, Backstage view lets you bring those back-end accounting or HR workflows right into Office 2010.

    What does co-authoring mean in Office 2010?

    Co-authoring refers to the ability for multiple authors to edit a document, presentation, spreadsheet or notebook at the same time, allowing you to connect, share and accomplish more when working together. With the new co-authoring experience available for Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, OneNote 2010 and Excel 2010 (through Excel Web App), you and your co-workers can work on a file from different locations, brainstorm ideas, control versions better and meet deadlines faster.

    o Use Windows Live to access, store and share your documents via Office Web Apps for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote so you can access your files from virtually anywhere.

    · Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. Together with Microsoft Exchange Server, Outlook provides an enterprise-grade messaging platform.
    o With Microsoft Exchange Server, you can receive voice mail and faxes directly to your inbox, and they can be accessed virtually anywhere using your PC, Outlook Mobile1 or Outlook Web Access.
    o Compliant, security-enhanced messaging is simple and effective across the organization using Outlook 2010 and Exchange Server 2010. Innovative tools such as MailTips notify users when they are about to send an e-mail to a group or an individual who is outside the organization. Tools such as Retention Policy and Automated Policy Application use Windows Rights Management Services to allow corporate messaging to be transmitted with advanced security and retained for records management.
    o Improved connectivity with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 will support the use of multiple Exchange accounts in Outlook 2010, making it simple for a user to manage several accounts in one place.
    · Office Communications Server 2007 R2
    o Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 works with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 to provide a streamlined communications experience from within Office 2010 applications.
    o Rich presence is available throughout Office 2010 applications to provide information about a person’s availability and status. Wherever you see a presence icon, hovering over it will reveal a menu of communications options from which you can initiate a real-time conversation without having to switch applications.
    o It’s easy to move from one communication modality to another with Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Start a conversation with an instant message from within an Office application such as Outlook, escalate to a call, add video or share a document. A desktop-sharing session can be initiated directly from Backstage view in Word 2010, Excel 2010 and PowerPoint 2010.
    · Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. By using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 with SharePoint 2010, you can now share and collaborate on powerful analyses that refresh automatically. In addition, SQL Server allows IT to manage user-generated Excel spreadsheets directly from SharePoint, giving you peace of mind that your analysis is continuously available, up-to-date and security-enhanced.
