In the previous versions of Exchange Server we cannot play with the mailbox rules limit that is only 32kb (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886616). Using Exchange Server 2010 we can do that through Exchange Management Shell. Let’s see how to do that..

The cmdlet utilized to set up the mailbox is called set-mailbox:

Set-Mailbox -RulesQuota:

Let’s change the user Anne to 256KB limit using set-mailbox.

Set-Mailbox annec -RulesQuota:256KB

To Change a mailbox from one type to another in exchange 2007 and 2010 like below :-

User mailbox to shared mailbox
User mailbox to resource mailbox
Shared mailbox to user mailbox
Shared mailbox to resource mailbox
Resource mailbox to user mailbox
Resource mailbox to shared mailbox

Type the following in the exchange management shell.

Set-Mailbox ConfRoom1 -Type value

Where value is Regular, Room, Equipment, Shared.

I upgraded my Mac to OS X 10.7 Lion the other day and found that USB devices no longer worked.

They appeared in device manager saying they could not start.

I found the following fix on the VMware forums :

You can check if you have non standard permissions by opening a terminal and running:

ls -ld /

You should see output like this:

drwxr-xr-x 53 root wheel 1870 Aug 4 12:43 /

If the permissions are different than above you can reset them using the following steps (for Fusion 3.1.3):

Shutdown Fusion.

In a terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)

sudo -s
chown root:wheel /
chmod 755 /
Reboot

Start Fusion and try connecting a USB device.

our SSL certificate and Intermediate certificate will arrive by email, use the following commands to import the Intermediate certificate and the SSL ceretificate

Import the Intermediate certificate

Copy the Intermediate certificate from the email and use the following instructions

Copy the intermediate certificate from the body of the email and paste it into a simple text editor, such as Notepad
Save it as intermediate.cer on your desktop
Open MMC
Select File > Add/Remove Snap In
Select Add
Select Certificates > Add
Select Computer Account > Next
Local Computer > Finish > Close > OK
Select Certificates > Intermediate Certification Authorities > Certificates
Right-Click Certificates > All-Tasks > Import
The Import Wizard will start, follow the instructions to import the intermediate certificate and close MMC.
Import the SSL certificate

Copy the SSL certificate from the email and save this as mydomain.cer. The name and location of the file are not important.
Open the Exchange Management Shell and run the import and enable commands:
Import-ExchangeCertificate -Path C:\mydomain.cer
Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services “SMTP, IMAP, POP, IIS”
The services can be any combination of these values: IMAP, POP, UM, IIS, SMTP
To verify that your certificate is running and enabled run the following command:
Get-ExchangeCertificate -DomainName server.domain.com
In response to the above command you you should see the certificates thumbprint, an abbreviated list of the services and mydomain.cer. If your certificate isn’t properly enabled, you can re-run the modified Enable command with the certificate thumbprint
Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint [paste thumbprint here] -Services “SMTP,IMAP, POP, IIS”
Reboot your server and test your certificate is working by connecting with IE, ActiveSync or Outlook.
Important: Do not use the Certificate snap-in to import the certificates for any service on an Exchange server. Using the Certificate snap-in to import certificates on Exchange servers will fail. Therefore, TLS or other Exchange certificate services will not work.

By the way a little bit of Information. Did you know that Office 2011 for the Mac does not support Online Archive Mailboxes!!! DOH!!! Why Microsoft didn’t add this in I dont know.

Here’s the official word from Microsoft on the subject :

Outlook 2011 for Mac (formerly known as Entourage) and previous versions of the Mac client do not include support for accessing the online archive mailbox. However the Mac Business group is looking at supporting this with a future update but there’s no confirmation or time line though.
