There are a plethora of software packages out there to report against your Exchange Infrastructure and many of them are great. I’ve worked with several in the past. However, if you want just a simple report for mailbox sizes, and you have access to a SQL Server, you can write your own process. My script…
Like many of you, I’ve run into the fun situation of moving the Exchange 2003 Recipient Update Services to Exchange 2010’s Email Address Policy. Although the Exchange Team Blog has a great script (which I highly suggest that you use) for migration, I thought that it might be best to get a list of accounts…
At my organization, I ran into an interesting situation. Our company, because of some policies which I do not comprehend, must keep departed personnel’s mailboxes for over one year. Now in most cases, I’d have exported these mailboxes to PSTs, delete the mailbox, then after a year, nix the PSTs. The burn is that other…
Don’t you hate it when you launch Exchange 2010’s Management Shell and you are greeted with a lovely message like this: Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ExportPSSessionCommand, Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Utility, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 : Unable to find type [Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ExportPSSessionCommand, Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Utility, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]: make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded. I’ve got one script and a shortcut change that…

The article was specific to my company’s care study for BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10.1 with regard to High Availability. Although BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10.2 has been released, the framework which was discussed stays the same. If…
This was my first year at Microsoft’s TechEd, and I have to say that I was blown away by the volume of content. There were several different times that I was unable to attend a session that I wanted because I was triple if not quadruple booked. Now that I’m back at the office, I…
In my first post, I explained how to get started with the BlackBerry 10 Web Services. Mostly it revolves around downloading and compiling a DLL that contains all the BlackBerry Web Service objects. In this post, I’ll be going over the PowerShell code that I wrote to leverage this DLL. We’re going to start with…
This is a follow-up to my previous four-part post about PowerShell & BlackBerry Web Services. If you need a primer on where this is coming from, see the first series. Like before, I’m going to run through each step that I used when setting this up, though there will be fewer references to the specifics…
Today’s ramble is about the new BlackBerry 10 Infrastructure and how I see it interacting with a dual data center environment. I need to emphasize that this discussion is based solely on the RTM version of the BlackBerry 10 Enterprise Server. For those who have read the blog before, you know that I’m passionate about…
