If you want to remove this stuff we need to create a Hub Transport Rule:
Open Microsoft Exchange Console
Navigate to:
Microsoft Exchange \ Organization Configuration \ Hub Transport \ Transport Rules

Right Click and select New Transport Rule and name it “Remove headers” click Next,

chose From users inside or outside the organization and select Inside click Next,chose Remove header and as message header just write: Received twice click Next…

You are done… Headers will not be sent any more to users outside the organization…

Bye,

While preparing my demos for my sessions I needed to install Windows server 2008 R2 Foundation on an HP ML 110 G6 which was given to me for demos…
After unpacking and starting the server I inserted DVD with installation inside… I get this nice screen telling me Validantih HP Platform Please Wait …

After a minute I got this error – a popup windows came up with folowing message:

SBSBIOSLock

could not find the media

If you want to continue your installation you need to get to HP BIOS and change the value on SATA emulation from RAID to AHCI. It worked for me… Well leave me alone I need to finish my installation.

http://edge.technet.com/Media/DirectAccess-with-Devrim/

Check the video…

There are some other features that you can do but it was possible also in non R2 version… That is shrinking and extending partition using Disk Management

Well… No more. Windows server 2008 R2 Beta – which is by the way already publicly available has a new functional level for AD that allows you to activate so called Recycle Bin Feature…
In this demo you will se my AD server with a domain called demoadps.local on which I will enable this feature. As I mentioned before – functional level should be Windows server 2008 R2.

Watch the video

First of all you need to enable the feature by typing a Powershell cmdlet/command:

Enable-ADOptionalFeature ‘Recycle Bin Feature’ -Scope Forest -Target ‘domain.local‘

after that you can check for deleted items by typing:

Get-ADObject -SearchBase “CN=Deleted Objects,DC=domain,DC=local” -ldapFilter “(objectClass=*)” -includeDeletedObjects | FT ObjectGUID,Name -A

This will show you the deleted objects which you can restore by entering:

Restore-ADObject -Identity 6ff46162-15c2-4d42-8e15-2fcac5c8422e

** domain.local should be changed with your domain name
6ff46162-15c2-4d42-8e15-2fcac5c8422e should be changed with a ID that matches your deleted object…

To make it simplier I have recorded a video tutorial to do that…

Take a look / give it a try!

PS. take a look at new redesigned Microsoft Virtualization site… Where you can find all information about all MS virtualization products …:

http://www.microsoft.com/virtualization/default.mspx

But nowhere I have encountered the problem describing this error code in combination with Windows Server 2008 and Exchange 2007 SP1 with rollup 5.

Well… As I figured out it apparently does not work – if you want OAB to be distributed by Web-based distribution…

You get this error in your Outlook 2007 SP1 clients (on Windows XP and on Windows Vista)

As I can see there is somekind of permission problem becoues OAB virtual directory points to:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\OAB

This directory has NO NTFS permissions for Auhtenticated users… but in IIS there is on this folder a parameter: Pass-through authentication - but as I know it can not work becouse your credentials are not covered in NTFS permissions of that folder.

But it does not work even if you give NTFS permissions to authenticated users… (you are still prompted for username and password in Outlook…)

Maybe I am missing something but weekend is almost over and my users need to use Exchange and RPC over HTTP(s) feature in their Outlooks tomorow… What I did is that I disabled Web-based distribution of Offline address book and I left only Public folder distribution. It took a couple of minutes for autodiscover.xml to update and Outlooks to get new parameters about Offline address book distribution.

Everything works correctly now…

Comments / suggestions appriaciated…

PS.
Hey all you Exchangegurus!
I think you will find this link useful: https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/

You need to do it this way:

1. Uncheck Internet protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) in your network card properties

2. Delete localhost value for ipv6 in file called HOSTS in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

::1             localhost

or comment it by using # at the start of line

3. Create/add a 32 bit DWORD with name DisabledComponents and value 0xFFFFFFFF to:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters

My setup was Windows server 2008 standard as Hyper-V platform, inside Windows server 2008 standard with Active directory in functional level 2008 – everything updated and clean.

When I changed this three parameters exchange setup completed sucessfuly and now my testing Exchange 2007 is working! Wiiiii!!!

I hope you will enjoy this fantastic feature!

To understand better I have some pictures to show…
