I wanted to see what was queued up on my Hub Transport servers and the Queue viewer didn’t fit the bill, but this line of code did ;-)

CAS Proxying Problem
Agggggggg this is damm anoying but I managed to work it out. Basically I have the following:
DMZ – HUB01, CAS01 – HUB02, CAS02, MBX
HUB01 and CAS01 are in one AD site and HUB02, CAS02 and MBX are in another.
Mail flow works fine and all I wanted was to connect to CAS01 and get redirected to CAS02.
Simple you would think, well so did I, but if I used OWA to CAS01 it doesn’t redirect me to CAS02
I get this error on CAS01
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchange OWA
Event Category: Proxy
Event ID: 41
Description:
The Microsoft Exchange Client Access server “https://CAS01/owa” attempted to
proxy Outlook Web Access traffic for mailbox “/o=MyOrg/ou=Exchange
Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Administrator”. This
failed because no Client Access server with an Outlook Web Access virtual
directory configured for Kerberos authentication could be found in the
Active Directory site of the mailbox. The simplest way to configure an
Outlook Web Access virtual directory for Kerberos authentication is to set
it to use Windows Integrated authentication by using the
Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell, or by using
the Exchange Management Console. If you already have a Client Access server
deployed in the target Active Directory site with an Outlook Web Access
virtual directory configured for Kerberos authentication, the proxying
Client Access server may not be finding that target Client Access server
because it does not have an internalUrl parameter configured. You can
configure the internalUrl parameter for the Outlook Web Access virtual
directory on the Client Access server in the target Active Directory site by
using the Set-OwaVirtualDirectory cmdlet.
CAS02 has FBA turned off and windows integrated set. I could connect direct to CAS02 :-|
Do you know what it was. I ran my little script I blogged earlier and saw that one of my CAS boxes didn’t have Update Rollup 1 or 2. So I applied it and now it all works.
AGgggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh
Blog Outage
Bloody Windows Update, why does it reboot when you tell it not too?
The box was hung and not responding this morning, but it’s back up today … Can’t wait for my new server to arrive

Yet anOther Desktop Manager 3D
Jane bloged this last week (http://blogs.technet.com/janelewis/archive/2007/05/18/yet-another-desk-top-manager-3d-cool.aspx) it is a very sweet desktop manager and makes things look a bit more like OS X
You can download it from here (http://chsalmon.club.fr/index.php?en/Download)
The cube thing is nice, but I especially like the fact that you can click on the icon in the notification area and jump to an app that is running. sweet!

Stealth Blogging
This is quite interesting .. what is funny is that I used to do this ALOT! How many times have I used #2 ;-)
Source: http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2007/05/stealth_bloggin.html
Stealth blogging is blogging from any location where you typically are not supposed to blog. For me that usually means long, boring meetings where my presence has been requested but in reality is not required. So for me, lots of boring dead time + Tablet PC + EV-DO = Stealth Blogging.
Obviously a key objective to Stealth blogging is to not get caught, something that is fairly easy to avoid with a few simple rules. Here, then, is The Stealth Blogging Primer.
Microsoft Codename “Tahiti” Pre-Beta
This looks interesting .. Codename “Tahiti” is a fast, easy way to share documents and screen views with small groups of friends or coworkers; anytime, anywhere. Use Codename “Tahiti” to put your heads together and collaborate.
Saw it up on the BlogNewsChannel.
Microsoft has made available SharedView, its screen sharing software formerly known as Tahiti, available on its website as a free download. The 3-megabyte program lets you host a live meeting for a maximum of 15 users, sharing your whole screen or a single program with all of them.
The person sharing can give up control to any participant, with each person having their own personalized mouse pointer. Files can be shared during the session, and all participants can download them directly while there. It integrates tightly with Microsoft Word, and could be used to counter the excellent collaboration features at the center of Google Docs. There may be audio and chat support coming in a future release.
Download the program here, read the help docs, or visit the official site.

More Exchange 2007 Dynamic Distributions Groups
Interesting discovery today.
With Query based Distribution Groups in Exchange 2003, if you send an email to a QDG that you are a member of, you get a copy of the message
With Dynamic Distributions Groups in Exchange 2007 it would seem that is NO longer that case. If you are a member of a DDG you DONT get a copy. Now I have only tested this Custom DDGs so any reader out there let me know if you are seeing this too?
