Category: Exchange

For Exchange 2010.

Current functions:

• Find database copies with failed content index
• Fix database copies with failed content index
• List active database copies
• List passive database copies
• List backup status

This script keeps returning to the main menu until exit is selected.

Use at your own risk. Don’t blame me if something goes horribly wrong.

Problem

Dersom man har møterom eller andre ressurser i Exchange 2003 som er aktivert for direct booking hender det at Outlook 2010 ikke klarer å registrere reservasjoner, og de blir liggende i innboksen til ressursen som ubesvart/tentativ. Det hender at reservasjonen går igjennom etter noe tid, og det hender at det virker fint, men av og til så virker det bare ikke. Dette kommer av at Outlook 2010 ikke aktiverer støtte for DirectBooking som standard, men istedenfor sender forespørselen på mail til ressursen. Siden de fleste ressurskontoer er “hodeløse” og aldri blir åpnet av en klient er man avhengig av offlineprossesering på serveren.
