Exchange 2010 quick q?

Django x2 · 26 Apr 2011 at 11:26

I have a user who has access to a Purchasing email inbox. When she sends from this account, it stores the sent message in her normal exchange sent items folder (not the purchasing sent items folder).

Is there a way around this?

Also, I'm looking to add an image as part of the signatures (or disclaimer). Can this be done through HTML?

Thanks Eulogy,

So, I know 2010 allows you to use HTML so if we can HTML the image somewhere that should be ok.

Re the 1st point. Is there a way to deploy this VBA across a userbase?

Then she'll have to switch profiles and I don't think you can have to exchange profiles on the same machine can you?

Ok, how about this one Exchange gurus...

ActiveSync says it is enabled, but none of the mobile devices connect. We have to CAS role boxes behind a Barracuda NLB. Is this in some way stopping AS from working?

You need to ensure all the correct IIS subsites are available externally.

I'd suggest running this:

To diagnose.

On the transport rules, you can do HTML disclaimers, but its limited to 8196 characters long, including the powershell commands it runs in the background to do it. So probably more like 7500 characters if you have a few rules.

As far as I know, they are. I've had 2010 installs work out of the box for ActiveSync. I have a feeling the NLBs are causing an issue with the autodiscover.

Actual domain replaced with "mydomain"

However, I get exactly the same response for an Exchange 2010 domain that I know works so I don't fully know how to interpret the results

dunno, can you explain further? I haven't set it up before for the other Exchange 2010 company and their phones connect without issue.

Ok, cool. I can't set up the mobile devices manually (pointing them to mail.mydomain.com, which is the same as OWA). It just says Unable to open connection to server.
