• Sophisticated expression parsing and .NET Framework object manipulation at the command line, including pipelining of objects help IT professionals to work more efficiently and effectively.

Microsoft Exchange Server Outlook Web Access Web Administration

Overview

The Outlook Web Access (OWA) administration tool provides web-based UI for all administrator tunable OWA settings. It provides a list of all servers in the domain and allows administration of OWA settings on all Front-end and Back-end servers. The tool ensures that settings are correctly written to the server’s registry and provides inline documentation for all configurable features.

Language Selection in Exchange 2007 OWA

Per-user options

Although many Exchange customers standardize on a single language, individual users may feel more comfortable working in a particular language. Microsoft, for example, standardized on U.S. English, but it has offices and employees from all over the world. Some of them may feel more comfortable using applications in their native languages, while still communicating in U.S. English. In Exchange 2003, OWA used the user's client language. That is, it used whatever language IE was set to. While this worked in some cases, it didn't solve the problem in many others. For example, a user at an airport kiosk in New York may have had to use OWA in U.S. English, when this user would have preferred Japanese.

In Exchange 2007, we've made this experience better for everyone, whether you're using OWA from a personal machine or an airport kiosk. The first time a user logs on, OWA displays the Regional Language selection page. The language he chooses here will be the language OWA uses for menus, labels, and other text.




Users can change the language selection in the Options page:


Global options

In many cases, forcing users to choose a language on first log on can be important. However, this doesn't have to be the case. Administrators can use the OWA admin tasks to configure the language users see when the log on to OWA as well as the language of the forms-based authentication (FBA) login page. Users are still free to change the language for their individual OWA profile. The -DefaultClientLanguage and -LogonAndErrorLanguage parameters to Set-OwaVirtualDirectory control the default language for OWA and the FBA login page, respectively. LogonAndErrorLanguage also sets the language that error messages are presented in if the user's language selection can't be read. Both of these parameters take a locale identifier (LCID), which is just a number between 0 and 99999999. A value of 0, which is the default, means that the language selection is undefined, so the user should be prompted. For example, to set the default client, logon, and error languages to English - UK (LCID 2057):

[MSH]> Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -identity "owa (Default Web Site)" -DefaultClientLanguage:2057 -LogonAndErrorLanguage:2057

Solving "e-mail address already exists in this organization" using LDAP query in AD

A administrator is having a problem creating an SMTP proxy address for a mailbox. The message they get when they try to add snuffy@domain.com as an SMTP address is "This e-mail address already exists in this organization. ID no: c10312e7 Microsoft Active Directory - Exchange Extension".

The SMTP address the admin is trying to assign is already assigned to another mail-enabled object (mailbox, mail-enabled user, contact, or mail-enabled group.) I suggested doing an LDIFDE dump to LDF file of the entire directory and seaching through that file. Rich Matheisen suggested a better and far faster way.

Using the Windows 2003 Active Directory Users and Computers utility, right click on the domain, choose Find. In the Find: dropdown list, choose "Custom Search" and in the In: dropdown list, choose "Entire Directory". Click the Advanced property page and enter the following LDAP query (in my example, at least):

proxyaddresses=smtp:snuffy@domain.com

Click Find and you should find the object that already has that SMTP address.
