I discovered something interesting that I wanted to be shared with the rest of the world. Before you read any further, I want you to know that I did send an email to MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center) about this. The answer I got was this: <quote>«In general, MSRC does not consider issues that require […]

So after several Exchange migration projects I have seen this a couple of times. The names of the system folders in a mailbox (such as Inbox, Sent Items, and Draft etc) are in the wrong language or corrupt. Since I Live in Norway I’ve got costumers that want them in Norwegian. like “Innboks” and not […]
With the release of Microsoft ATA 1.7 today I was pretty excited. I got a hint that a feature request I made was implemented into the product. Prior to ATA 1.7 when configuring there was no good method of verifying mail and syslog alerting. To test and verify the alert configuration, I had to trigger […]
