There are four places where Message size is set in Exchange – in 2003, these were all in the gui, in 2007 three are powershell (although MS supposedly are adding it back in) and one has no admin tool at all – you get to use ADSI Edit to set it in the "raw" Active [...]

Little PS Script (with GUI) to list mailbox sizes of all users in your Exchange organisation.

Renewing Internal Certificates –> The Easy Way

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MSExchangeTransport
Event Category: TransportService
Event ID: 12018

OALGen will skip user entry ‘USER’ in address list "\Global Address List’ because the SMTP address " is invalid

Basically the OAB wont generate entries for users who’s "Email" field in AD is blank (or, in fact, not the same as the "Reply [...]

Mutual-TLS between Exchange 2007 and external domains.
Hmm.
Couple of people have raised calls regarding this.
Surprisingly (well, not), the documentation from Microsoft is rather bizarrely.. well, Microsoftised.
However, it is decent background reading anyway, so I will paste here the required links (for Exchange 2007 mind), and possibly later post with a “shortened” version for normal people to understand.

Problems with Public Folder Replication?
Having problems getting PF’s replicated (or moved) between 2003 and 2007?
KB 830181 suggests a fix for Exchange 5.5 / 2000 to 2003.
However, I have it on good advice (Thanks Mr Chandra) that this method can also fix any “sticking” folders in 2003 –> 2007. Only difference is that instead of restaring the MSExchangeTransport service, you [...]

Viewing Exchange logs from a Workstation
Customer emails through their Exchange event logs, and you need to read through them.
You *could* move them onto your Exchange box and view them there, but what if you couldnt access the box? What if it was a different version? What if you didn’t want to?
HERE
You can view other log types by using the /auxsource [...]
