“My Site” button in OWA 2010

Reading Time: < 1 minute During a Exchange 2010 course, a student actually showed me a cool little feature I wasn’t aware of. If you enter the AD attribute “Web page” in Active Directory, that user will get an extra button in Outlook Web App. Pressing that button opens a new browser windows/tab and opens the page. Especially nice in combination with an Intranet or other important portal pages. This also works in Exchange 2007 OWA: Does anybody have an Exchange 2003 server to test

Setting the Postmaster address in Exchange

Reading Time: < 1 minute Somebody asked me today, whether it is a good idea to set the postmaster address in Exchange. Well, short answer: yes! It's is even mandatory according to RFC 5321 section 4.5.1. For Exchange 2010 you will have to use the Set-TransportConfig cmdlet: Set-TransportConfig -ExternalPostmasterAddress <ExternalPostmasterSMTPAddress> For Exchange 2007 you will have to use the Set-TransportServer cmdlet for each Hub and Edge transport server: Set-TransportServer <TransportServerName> -ExternalPostmasterAddress <ExternalPostmasterSMTPAddress> For both Exchange 2007 and 2010, you will have to create a mailbox
