		</div>
<p><img style="display: inline; float: right" title="Full mailbox" alt="Full mailbox" align="right" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQYmd1m-KVKueDu-va2Epr4RuJ9Zxdh5qETYsViaVeNUsA2U7fC" width="161" height="126" />It seems like every month I get a call about someone not being able to send or receive an email due to size limits. If you know where all the limits are in the Exchange Management Console (and if you’re aware of the <a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/2007/07/19/message-is-larger-than-the-current-system-limit/" target="_blank">30% bloating that happens with email attachments</a>) you can usually resolve that issue pretty quickly. If you’re new to Exchange, or a bit rusty, it might take longer.</p>
<p>Here’s a way to see all of your Exchange attachment limits in one screen.</p>
<p><strong>Simple PowerShell Script to Show Exchange Message Size Limits</strong></p>
<p>1. Copy and paste the following commands into Notepad.exe:</p>
<blockquote><p>get-transportconfig | ft maxsendsize, maxreceivesize      <br />get-receiveconnector | ft name, maxmessagesize       <br />get-sendconnector | ft name, maxmessagesize       <br />get-mailbox |ft Name, Maxsendsize, maxreceivesize</p>
</blockquote>
<p>2. Save that text document with a .PS1 file extension, and you now have your PowerShell file. I named my file “email_limits.ps1”.    </p>
<p>Example contents of file <strong>email_limits.ps1</strong>:<a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Contents of file email_limits.ps1" border="0" alt="Contents of file email_limits.ps1" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb.png" width="518" height="370" /></a></p>
<p><em>Note: You can reuse this .PS1 file on any SBS 2008 (Exchange 2007) or SBS 2011 (Exchange 2010) servers.</em>     </p>
<p>3. Copy that file to your SBS server in a folder on the C: or D: drive.     <br />I use a folder called “Scripts” on the D: drive.</p>
<p>4. Right-click the <strong>Exchange Management Shell</strong> and Run as Administrator.     <br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_3.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Open Exchange Management Shell using Run as administrator" border="0" alt="Open Exchange Management Shell using Run as administrator" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_3.png" width="228" height="241" /></a>     <br />(Say Yes to any User Account Control prompt, if needed.)</p>
<p>5. In the Powershell window type the name of your .PS1 file (including the full path) and hit Enter.    <br /><em>Example: D:\scripts\email_limits.ps1</em></p>
<p><strong>RESULTS</strong></p>
<p><strong>Example 1      <br />SBS 2008 / Exchange 2007 (showing increased limits for a true 20 MB)*       <br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_4.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Output of email_limits.ps1 on SBS 2008 / Exchange 2007" border="0" alt="Output of email_limits.ps1 on SBS 2008 / Exchange 2007" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_4.png" width="518" height="387" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Example 2      <br />SBS 2011 / Exchange 2010 (w/ factory defaults)</strong><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_5.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Output of email_limits.ps1 on SBS 2011 / Exchange 2010" border="0" alt="Output of email_limits.ps1 on SBS 2011 / Exchange 2010" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_5.png" width="518" height="351" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>*As you can see from Example 1, the Fax connector is still set at 10 MB, but the other limits have been changed to 29257 KB to allow for true 20MB attachments with the attachment bloating.      <br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/2007/07/19/message-is-larger-than-the-current-system-limit/" target="_blank">Formula for calculating overhead</a>: (x MB * 1024) /.70 = limit in KB       <br />Example: (20 MB x 1024) /.70 = 29257KB</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Of course, you can also use PowerShell to change the limits, but I don’t have a script saved for that because the Set-ReceiveConnector, Set-SendConnector, etc.&#160; commands require that the server name be included in the script.    <br />Example: <strong>Set-ReceiveConnector “Windows SBS Internet Receive <em><u>Servername</u></em>” –MaxMessageSize 29MB</strong></p>
<p>If I need to change the limits, I still just go old school and use the GUI in the Exchange Management Console.</p>
<p>Remember – there are four common places in Exchange where the email attachment size could be limited:</p>
<ol>
<li>Transport limit </li>
<li>Receive limit </li>
<li>Send limit </li>
<li>Mailbox limit </li>
</ol>
<p>We’ll show you where each one of those is located.</p>
<p><strong>Exchange 2007 / 2010 Management Console Size Limit Locations</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>1. Transport Limit</strong>       </p>
<p>Exchange Management Console | Organization Configuration | Hub Transport | Global Settings | Transport Settings | Properties | General | Transport Limits       </p>
<p><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_6.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Attachment limit for Exchange Transport settings" border="0" alt="Attachment limit for Exchange Transport settings" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_6.png" width="443" height="489" /></a>       </p>
<p>Note: a blank transport limit box means ‘unlimited’.       </li>
<li><strong>2. Receive Limits</strong>       <br />(In SBS 2008 or 2011 there are typically 3 Receive Connectors)
<p><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_7.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Location of Exchange 2010 Receive Connectors" border="0" alt="Location of Exchange 2010 Receive Connectors" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_7.png" width="447" height="240" /></a>       </p>
<p>Exchange Management Console | Server Configuration | Hub Transport | Receive Connectors | right-click the receive connector | Properties | General | Maximum Message Size (KB)       </p>
<p><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_8.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Attachment limit for Exchange Receive settings" border="0" alt="Attachment limit for Exchange Receive settings" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_8.png" width="447" height="502" /></a>       </p>
<p>Note: The “<strong>Default {<em>servername</em>}</strong>” is your internal / .local connector.       <br />The “<strong>Windows SBS Internet Receive {<em>servername</em>}</strong>” is your external / .com connector. You’ll notice the difference in the Properties window on the FQDN line &#8211; one is .local and the other is .com/.org/etc.       </p>
<p>Also, regarding the internal connector, you may sometimes need to increase your “Default {<em>servername</em>}”(.local) connector to accommodate on-site scanners / multi-function copiers that scan to PDF and email internal employees. If so, this is where you do it. Just make sure the employees can receive attachments that large.       </li>
<li><strong>3. Send Limit</strong>
<p>Exchange Management Console | Organization Configuration | Hub Transport | Send Connectors | Windows SBS Internet Send {<em>servername</em>} | Properties | General | Maximum Message Size (KB)       </p>
<p><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_9.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Attachment limit for Exchange Send connector" border="0" alt="Attachment limit for Exchange Send connector" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_9.png" width="447" height="502" /></a> </li>
<li><strong>4. Mailbox Limits</strong>
<p>Exchange Management Console | Recipient Configuration | Mailbox | {username} | Properties | Mail Flow Settings | Message Size Restrictions | Properties | Maximum Message size (in KB)       </p>
<p><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_10.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_10.png" width="447" height="537" /></a>       </p>
<p><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_11.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Message size limits per for an individual user" border="0" alt="Message size limits per for an individual user" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/9e86afc3afdc_B178/image_thumb_11.png" width="431" height="187" /></a>       </p>
<p>Note: a blank message size limit box means ‘unlimited’, but the user will still be restricted by the other the limits (shown in 1-3 above). </li>
</ul>
<p>Bottom line: Use the sample .PS1 script to quickly make sure that all limits are set properly. Life is too short to dig through the GUI and check 4 or 5 locations manually if you don’t have to.</p>
<p>If you have any feedback or helpful PowerShell scripts that relate to email limits in Exchange 2007 or 2010, please feel free to post them in the comments.</p>

Previously, if you tried to install SP2 for Exchange on SBS 2008 you had to start messing with the registry per <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973862" target="_blank">KB 973862</a>. Thankfully, that’s no longer necessary with the installation tool. You can download it from the Microsoft download site.     <br />&#160; <br />Title: <strong>Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP2 Installation Tool for Windows SBS 2008      <br /></strong>Date Published: 12/28/2009     <br />Download size: 604 KB     <br />File name: SBS2008-KB974271-ENU.msi     <br />Download URL: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ffd2fe61-9278-489e-9b96-3816394c9cb6&amp;displayLang=en" target="_blank">Click here</a></p>
<p><strong>Overview:</strong>     <br />The Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP2 Installation Tool for Windows SBS 2008 provides a step-by-step wizard that simplifies the installation of Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 on a computer that is running Windows SBS 2008. The wizard also detects and helps you repair some problems that are common during installation. Without this tool, Windows SBS 2008 administrators must follow a series of manual steps, which are outlined in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973862">You cannot install Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 on a Windows Small Business Server 2008-based computer</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Installation, Step-by-Step:</strong></p>
<p>First, downloaded Exchange 2007 SP2. Pack a lunch, because this baby is big (<u>884 MB</u>)! You can download SP2 here: <a title="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4C4BD2A3-5E50-42B0-8BBB-2CC9AFE3216A&amp;displaylang=en" href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4C4BD2A3-5E50-42B0-8BBB-2CC9AFE3216A&amp;displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4C4BD2A3-5E50-42B0-8BBB-2CC9AFE3216A&amp;displaylang=en</a>&#160; </p>
<p>Second, double-click the E2K7SPEN64.exe to <em>extract</em> it, but <em><u>DON’T start the install</u></em> of the service pack yet.     <br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_3.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_thumb_3.png" width="196" height="145" /></a> </p>
<p>Once that’s done (and you’ve downloaded the Installation Tool above) the rest of the installation is almost ready to go. One more important note first.</p>
<blockquote><p>Note: It goes without saying, but <strong>make sure you have a good backup of the server</strong> before applying any service packs. Seriously folks.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>1. Run the MESIT installer, <strong>accept the EULA </strong>and click <strong>Next</strong>.     <br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_4.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Accept the EULA - Next" border="0" alt="Accept the EULA - Next" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_thumb_4.png" width="244" height="192" /></a> </p>
<p>2. <strong>Accept</strong> the default installation path and click <strong>Next</strong>.     <br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_5.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Accept the default install location - Next" border="0" alt="Accept the default install location - Next" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_thumb_5.png" width="244" height="192" /></a> </p>
<p>3. At the User Account Control prompt, click <strong>Continue</strong>.<a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_6.png" rel="thumbnail">      <br /><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="User Account Control - Continue" border="0" alt="User Account Control - Continue" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_thumb_6.png" width="244" height="129" /></a></p>
<p>4. Once installation of the wrapper is complete, the “Install Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP2 now” option should already be checked. Click <strong>Finish</strong>.     <br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_7.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="MESIT install complete - Finish" border="0" alt="MESIT install complete - Finish" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_thumb_7.png" width="244" height="190" /></a> </p>
<p>5. This will pop another UAC prompt, click <strong>Continue</strong>.     <br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_8.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="User Account Control - Continue" border="0" alt="User Account Control - Continue" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/Exchange2007SP2onSBS2008_CBB6/image_thumb_8.png" width="244" height="129" /></a> </p>

<p>Just because a port is open in RRAS or ISA (circa SBS 2003) doesn’t mean that it isn’t being blocked elsewhere, like at the ISP or because port forwarding isn’t setup properly in your firewall. Sometimes you need an outside view of the external ports on your internet connection.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>DISCLAIMER &#8211; Only open the ports you absolutely MUST have</strong>. Example, if you’re not running the POP3 connector or FTP, don’t open those ports! If you’re not sure about a port, check the <a href="https://isc.sans.org/" target="_blank">Port/IP Lookup on Sans.org</a> or ask someone who knows!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>To check all of the <em>commonly used</em> SBS ports at once:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="http://www.grc.com/default.htm">www.grc.com/default.htm</a> </li>
<li>Scroll down &amp; click <strong>ShieldsUP!</strong> </li>
<li>Click <strong>Proceed</strong> </li>
<li>In the center box on that page, <strong>paste this string</strong>:       <br /><em>21, 25, 80, 110, 123, 143, 220, 443, 444, 500, 987, 1701, 1723, 3389, 4125, 4500</em> </li>
<li>Click <strong>User Specified Custom Port Probe</strong> </li>
</ol>

<p>From the Help Desk file&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Reported Issue:</strong> Users report Outlook Web Access (OWA) &#8216;looks funny&#8217; or &#8216;messed up&#8217; and is missing the graphics.&nbsp; The main body says &#8220;Loading&#8230;&#8221;. </p>
<p>There is also no screen color, just a bunch of hyperlinked boxes with red X&#8217;s.</p>
<p><strong>System:</strong> Windows Server 2003, Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2</p>
<p><strong>Details:</strong> Here is a screen shot of the error condition</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/OWAIsHorkedMissingGraphics_110BD/image.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="125" alt="OWA is horked" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/OWAIsHorkedMissingGraphics_110BD/image_thumb.png" width="244" border="0"/></a> </p>
<p><strong>Dead Ends:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Outlook Mobile Access is working fine</li>
<li>Event logs aren&#8217;t throwing any errors</li>
<li>ASP version is good</li>
<li>Restarting application pool didn&#8217;t help</li>
<li>Restarting IIS didn&#8217;t fix it either</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Diagnosis:</strong> This was a permission issue. SSL wasn&#8217;t enabled on OWA</p>
<p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Open <strong>IIS Manager</strong></li>
<li>Navigate to <strong>Server Name </strong>/ <strong>Web Sites </strong>/ <strong>Default Web Site</strong> / right-click <strong>Exchange </strong>/ choose <strong>Properties</strong>.<br />&nbsp;<br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/OWAIsHorkedMissingGraphics_110BD/image_3.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="184" alt="image" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/OWAIsHorkedMissingGraphics_110BD/image_thumb_3.png" width="244" border="0"/></a><br />&nbsp;</li>
<li>Click on <strong>Directory Security</strong>, and in the <strong>Secure communications </strong>box, click <strong>Edit</strong>.<br />&nbsp;<br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/OWAIsHorkedMissingGraphics_110BD/image_4.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="237" alt="image" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/OWAIsHorkedMissingGraphics_110BD/image_thumb_4.png" width="244" border="0"/></a> <br />&nbsp;</li>
<li>In the Secure Communications window, make sure <strong>Require secure channel (SSL)</strong> and <strong>Require 128-bit encryption</strong> are <strong>checked</strong>.<br />&nbsp;<br /><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/OWAIsHorkedMissingGraphics_110BD/image_5.png" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="230" alt="image" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/OWAIsHorkedMissingGraphics_110BD/image_thumb_5.png" width="244" border="0"/></a> <br />&nbsp;</li>
<li>Hit <strong>OK</strong>, <strong>OK </strong>and <strong>Restart IIS</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>If those boxes are already checked, take a look at the NTFS permissions on the hard drive for the IIS folder.&nbsp; And if you do have to eventually reinstall Outlook Web Access, be sure to check out Henrik Walther&#8217;s article, &#8220;<em><a href="http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Fixing-Damaged-Incorrectly-Configured-OWA-2003-Installation.html" target="_blank">Fixing a Damaged or Incorrectly Configured OWA 2003 Installation</a></em>&#8220;</p>

<p>From the mailbag today:</p>
<blockquote><p>Question: It is my understanding that you can&#8217;t run 32-bit Exchange on 64-bit Windows Server 2003. Is that correct?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Answer: </p>
<p>On 64-bit hardware w/32-bit OS, yes.    <br />On 64-bit hardware with Windows Server 64-bit OS, no.</p>
<blockquote><p>&quot;The x64-based versions of Windows Server 2003 seamlessly support the running of 32-bit programs. However, on the x64-based versions of Windows, all the kernel mode components must be native 64-bit components. Therefore, all drivers must be 64-bit components. </p>
<p>User mode 32-bit programs are run under Windows on WOW64. WOW64 is the 32-bit emulator. However, Exchange Server 2003 will not even be installed correctly under WOW64. The primary reason is that Exchange Setup installs the 32-bit driver for the Installable File System (IFS) that is incompatible with the 64-bit kernel. </p>
<p>Note The information described here does not apply when you run Exchange Server 2003 on 32-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 that are installed on 64-bit hardware. You can do this on 64-bit hardware that also natively supports the running of 32-bit operating systems and programs.&quot;</p>

<p>When <a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/2007/11/30/download-office-mobile-61-misadventures/" target="_blank">we last left you</a>, a humble iPAQ hx2795 dreamed of seeing the world of tomorrow, namely; opening Office 2007 .docx and .xlsx files, and generally kicking digital butt across the galaxy.&nbsp; Alas, an evil overlord named Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) controlled by it&#8217;s master Windows Vista bricked our poor hero.</p>
<p>Yet, the Force was strong with this one, and with some fancy Googling, the iPAQ was reborn &#8211; hopefully to become more powerful than Windows Vista could ever imagine.&nbsp; The future of this plucky device hangs in the balance.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Needless to say, after the unanticipated beating WMDC handed out, I was reluctant to pick the scab and re-open the wound.&nbsp; But an email from NGLB reader Leonard Lee spurred me onward and upward to try again.&nbsp; </p>
<p><strong>FLASH! Ah-Aaaaaaah&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Backed up the iPAQ.&nbsp; Booted into XP (since WMDC in Vista is da debil), downloaded <a href="http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&amp;cc=us&amp;prodTypeId=215348&amp;prodSeriesId=421420&amp;prodNameId=1128652&amp;swEnvOID=2067&amp;swLang=8&amp;mode=2&amp;taskId=135&amp;swItem=ip-48280-1" target="_blank">iPAQ hx2795 BIOS update 1.00.01 H</a> (2 April 2007) and released the hounds. </p>
<blockquote><p>Side note: While I had the hood up on the iPAQ and the HP site, I also snagged the <a href="http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&amp;cc=us&amp;prodTypeId=215348&amp;prodSeriesId=421420&amp;prodNameId=1128652&amp;swEnvOID=2067&amp;swLang=8&amp;mode=2&amp;taskId=135&amp;swItem=ip-47408-1" target="_blank">DST fix</a> (26 Feb 2007) and the <a href="http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&amp;cc=us&amp;prodTypeId=215348&amp;prodSeriesId=421420&amp;prodNameId=1128652&amp;swEnvOID=2067&amp;swLang=8&amp;mode=2&amp;taskId=135&amp;swItem=ip-46623-1" target="_blank">Driver Update</a> (25 Jan 2007).&nbsp; </p>

<p>One soft boot later:</p>
<ul>
<li>Calibrate the screen</li>
<li>Skip the crappy tutorial</li>
<li>Reset the system clock &amp; time zone, and it&#8217;s alive.&nbsp; </li>
<li>Manually entered the wifi key for the Linksys router</li>
<li>Cradled the device and copied the SSL certificate to the device</li>
<li>Removed from the cradle, clicked on the cert to install it</li>
<li>Entered the server credentials into ActiveSync</li>
<li>Started wireless Over The Air sync to the Exchange 2007 server and&#8230;</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Attention Required</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Result: The security certificate on the server is invalid. Contact your Exchange Server administrator or ISP to install a valid certificate on the server.</p>
<p>Support code: 0x80072F0D</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Certificate error, eh?&nbsp; Mmmm, don&#8217;t think so pumpkin. That&#8217;s the same cert I use for RPC over HTTP on the laptop.&nbsp; Anyway, no problemo. I jump over to the OWA site, grab the cert, export it, cradle, copy &amp; paste, install cert, OTA ActiveSync and&#8230; air ball.</p>
<p>Microsoft TS2 stress ball to the rescue. </p>
<p>A little more digging. I even play MacGyver and make <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/01/28/making_a_root_cert_cab_file.aspx" target="_blank">my own CAB out of the cert</a>. Bring the cooked cert into the device, install, he shoots, he&#8230; no dice.</p>
<p><strong>Phone-A-Friend</strong></p>
<p>I ping my favorite <a href="http://www.vladville.com/" target="_blank">Exchange MVP</a>. We chat on IM about the certs. And he mentions that Exchange 2007 won&#8217;t support Windows Mobile 5 devices without the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/business/directpushemail.mspx" target="_blank">Messaging &amp; Security Feature Pack</a> (MSFP). What the deuce?</p>
<p>I re-check the HP site for anything with Build 14847 or higher, no joy.&nbsp; I decide to try one last thing and use the HP 24x7x365 online chat. (Stop laughing).&nbsp; I take my &#8220;5 minutes or less&#8221; <em>HP Instant Support Professional Edition</em> wait-time to copy several movies (Simpsons &amp; Mr. Bean) over to an SD card.&nbsp; I check <a href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter.com</a> to catch up. </p>
<p>My support technician finally comes online.</p>

<p>[Wednesday, December 26, 2007 11:26 PM] &#8212; Issa K says:<br />Doesn&#8217;t look like according the page, that is one available for the hx2000 series. </p>

<p>Game, set, match.</p>
<p>So, there&#8217;s nothing left to do but reset the iPAQ to sync the Exchange data off the laptop. At least I can sync via Bluetooth if I want. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, the dream of Office 2007 documents and Exchange 2007 syncing on an iPAQ hx2795 is officially <u>dead</u>.&nbsp; Wish I had better news for you Leonard. <img src='http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Don&#8217;t freak.</p>
<p>Not too long ago, a customer with a shiny new iPhone called and wanted to get it hooked up to their Small Business Server 2003 server.&#xA0; No biggie, right?&#xA0; Well, POP3 is one thing, but little did I know then that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imap" target="_blank">IMAP</a> on SBS with an iPhone was pretty much uncharted territory.&#xA0; </p>
<p>It took a fair amount of research, lots of experimentation, plenty of help from    <br /><a href="http://msmvps.com/blogs/onq/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Eriq Neale [SBS-MVP]</a>, and an enormous amount of patience since the client with the phone was 500 miles away and we were doing this blind.&#xA0; (Yikes!)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m happy to report that <strong>the iPhone does work with SBS using IMAP</strong> with SSL.     <br />(Although Windows Mobile 5 or 6 with Small Business Server is still the preferred tool for mobile SBS Warriors).</p>
<p>Want to set this up for yourself?&#xA0; No problemo &#8211; there are two phases:</p>
<p><strong>Phase 1 &#8211; Setting up IMAP with SSL on the SBS box      <br />(complete with screen shots).</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&quot;Configuring IMAP over SSL with SBS 2003 Standard&quot;</p>
<p>Co-authors: Eriq Neale &amp; Tim Barrett</p>
<p><a title="http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=266&amp;articleType=ArticleView&amp;articleId=231" href="http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=266&amp;articleType=ArticleView&amp;articleId=231">http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=266&amp;articleType=ArticleView&amp;articleId=231</a></p>
<p>As a reminder, make sure you open ports 143 (TCP) and 993 (TCP) in your firewall and forward it back to your SBS box.</p>
<p>These instructions are for SBS 2003 Standard. </p>
<p><b>UPDATE:</b>  Eriq has also completed the <a href="http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=266&#038;articleType=ArticleView&#038;articleId=232" target="_blank">ISA version of the instructions for SBS 2003 Premium</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Phase 2 &#8211; Setting up your iPhone to work with SBS and IMAP     <br />(complete with screen shots stolen from <a href="http://www.washington.edu/computing/email/iphone.html" target="_blank">UW</a> and modified).</strong></p>

<blockquote><p>UPDATE: Props to Levent for reminding me that you need to make sure that both ports 143 and 993 open and forwarded to the SBS box.  The instructions are in the whitepaper, but I didn&#8217;t have inbound 993 turned open in my initial configuration, which is why I couldn&#8217;t get the iPhone to pull down email via IMAP with the &#8216;Incoming uses SSL&#8217; turned on initially. Thanks for catching that Levent!</p>

		</div>
<p><img src="http://www.digitaldutch.com/arles/news/version6/images/paperclip.png" align="right"/>From the Help Desk file&#8230;</p>
<p>A&nbsp;client running SBS&nbsp;is having problems with large attachments bouncing.&nbsp; They are using SMTP, not POP3:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each month they get a a particular&nbsp;inbound email from an external sender w/ a sizeable attachment</li>
<li>Last month the attachment was 7,403 KB and it was delivered just fine</li>
<li>This month the attachment was 7,562 KB and it was rejected</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Error Message:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The following recipient(s) could not be reached: This message is larger than the current system limit or the recipient&#8217;s mailbox is full. Create a shorter message body or remove attachments and try sending it again.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Gut Reaction:</strong></p>
<p>The ultimate computer troubleshooting question &#8211; &#8220;What changed?&#8221;&nbsp; </p>
<p>The attachment is bigger (but not much).&nbsp; And it&#8217;s likely that the users mailbox has grown in the last month,&nbsp;right?&nbsp; Well, not so fast.</p>
<p><strong>Server Settings:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Mailbox Store Storage Limits:&nbsp; Warn @ 175 MB / Prohibit @ 200 MB</li>
<li>Client mailbox size:&nbsp; 22 MB</li>
<li>Default SMTP Virtual Server Properties: <em>Limit message to size (KB)</em> is unchecked</li>
<li>Exchange Delivery Defaults:&nbsp; 10,240 KB send / 10,240 KB receive</li>
<li>User Delivery Defaults:&nbsp; 10,240 KB send / 10,240 KB receive</li>
</ul>
<p>So the attachment is well below the 10 MB limit, and the user has plenty of storage space.&nbsp; What gives?</p>
<p><strong>The Smoking Gun:</strong></p>
<p>I did some research and found the following KB Article:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;How to set size limits for messages in Exchange Server&#8221;</strong><br /><a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322679">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322679</a></p>
<p><em><font color="#008000">&#8220;<strong>Note</strong> The size of SMTP messages that are sent between routing groups and to the Internet <strong><font color="#ff0000">increase by about 30 percent</font></strong> if they contain binary attachments or other 8-bit data.&#8221;</font></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yeah &#8211; you read that right, 30% overhead for SMTP email attachments.&nbsp;  </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s do the math &#8211; a 7,562 KB attachment with a 30% increase (7,562 / 0.7) = 10,802 KB.&nbsp; And that&#8217;s larger than 10,240 KB folks!&nbsp;&nbsp;I talked to <a title="Who's your MVP Daddy?" href="http://www.vladville.com/" target="_blank">Vlad</a> for validation, and after the obligatory mocking session, he confirmed that&#8217;s about right for the overhead.&nbsp; He also said something about an 8-bit attachment going through a 7-bit system, but that&#8217;s over my head. </p>
<p><strong>Resolution:</strong> </p>
<p>I bumped the limits up to 15,360 KB, so they should be able to receive a 10,752 KB attachment (a true 10 MB), sent another test email, and it worked! </p>
<p>So here&#8217;s a rough conversion chart of what your settings need to be to get &#8216;true&#8217; attachment sizes through the server:<br />
<blockquote>
<p>Physical Attachment / Actual Height Needed
<ul>
<li>5 MB / 7,200 KB</li>
<li>6 MB / 8,600 KB</li>
<li>7 MB / 10,00 KB</li>
<li>8 MB / 11,400 KB</li>
<li>9 MB /12,900 KB</li>
<li>10 MB /14,300 KB</li>
<li>11 MB /15,700 KB</li>
<li>12 MB /17,100 KB</li>
<li>13 MB /18,600 KB</li>
<li>14 MB /20,000 KB</li>
<li>15 MB /21,400 KB</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>To plug in that setting, just navigate to: </p>
<p>Server Management / Advanced Management /&nbsp; Exchange / Global Setting / Message Delivery / Properties / Defaults tab: </p>
<p><a href="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/MessageisLargerThantheCurrentSystemLimit_10B1B/image011.png" atomicselection="true" rel="thumbnail"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="240" src="http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/images/MessageisLargerThantheCurrentSystemLimit_10B1B/image010.png" width="207" border="0"/></a>  </p>
<p>I hope that helps somebody.&nbsp; And thanks Vlad, my favorite Exchange MVP <img src='http://www.nogeekleftbehind.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

<p>&#8220;Who cares,&#8221; you say?&nbsp; Gamers, clients, employees, your kids.&nbsp; Today is a travel day for <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/matthewms/" target="_blank">Matt</a>&nbsp;(hello Cleveland!) but I&#8217;m sure he cares too.&nbsp; And so should you.</p>
<p>Think about it: </p>
<p>Scenario 1 (uncool) &#8211; You&#8217;re gaming away on PGR3 and your boss pops up an IM to ask how those TPS reports are coming.&nbsp; Icky!</p>
<p>Scenario 2 (kinda cool) &#8211; <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/um.mspx" target="_blank">Unified messaging</a> becomes a reality with <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/default.mspx" target="_blank">Exchange 2007</a>, the whole &#8216;access anywhere&#8217;&nbsp;scenario could conceivably&nbsp;include getting email and voicemail on your 360.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Scenario 3 (totally cool) &#8211; Knocking out those simple IM questions without getting off the couch and exiting your game.&nbsp; Nice!</p>
