I couldn’t connect via ActiveSync on my account. I’ve checked events on CAS server and I found:

Exchange ActiveSync doesn’t have sufficient permissions to create the “CN=Zilinec Ondrej – testovaci TS uzivatel,OU=TESTUSERS,OU=UZIVATELIA,OU=XXX,DC=XXX,DC=in,DC=XXX,DC=XX” container under Active Directory user “Active Directory operation failed on DCB1.XXX. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Access is denied.

Active directory response: 00000005: SecErr: DSID-031521D0, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0

“.

Make sure the user has inherited permission granted to domain\Exchange Servers to allow List, Create child, Delete child of object type “msExchActiveSyncDevices” and doesn’t have any deny permissions that block such operations.

Here is a short script to find out the size of mailboxes in your Exchange 2010 infrastructure. This information is not visible in EMC.

Get-MailboxStatistics -Server 'mailserver' | select DisplayName, TotalItemSize | sort TotalItemSize

Microsoft people should leave good things in GUI consoles and not force admins into powershell.

When I migrate mailboxes between Exchange servers I increase numbers of move requests because two is really limiting in nowadays network and servers speeds.

At one of our customer I was asked if there is any tool to make some statistics out of Exchange mailflow. You can use GUI Microsoft Exchange Tracking Log Explorer. This tool it usefull unless you need to make some smarter data handling. This tool doesn’t count how many mails user sent or received. Even those data displayed on the end are not exportable.

Sometimes when you install Exchange, you want to allow users to use their e-mail addresses as a login name. Most of the time UPN suffixes are not usefull. For example you have internal name for domain “company.corp”, but your e-mail addresses are “username@company.com“. You want to give an option for users to log into OWA using “username@company.com” instead of “company.corp\username”.
