After migration stop users sending email from Lotus Notes
There are a number things needed to send email from Notes when you have local mailfiles. Local Notes client:- (1) local mail.box (2) local mailfile.nsf (3) server mailfile.nsf – not explicitly needed. Server:- (4) mail.box If you restrict access to the mailfile (2) by making the user have Reader or NoAccess all you […]
Access domino console without the Admin client, only through Notes client.
Too many times I have been at a customer site and wanted to access the IBM Domino Console to see live information but cannot as they do not have the binaries for the administration client. There is a nice interface within the Notes client to access this, albeit a little different interface. You can also […]
How private are private items in Exchange
We sometimes get asked how private are private items? The short answer is not very… private items is an Outlook and OWA concept and NOT an Exchange concept. Exchange has no item level security model, only mailbox and folder level. So what does this mean? This means that unless you can force people to only access […]
Links and Backlinks in Active Directory for Exchange
In Active Directory (AD) there is the concept of objects, attributes and links between objects. AD Objects AD objects (or more correctly Object Classes) include users, groups, computers, service connection points, OUs, etc. They are the type of things about which we want to store information. An instance of an AD object class is an […]
Convert Mailbox to Linked Mailbox
When performing an AD migration it is sometimes necessary to make the mailbox a linked mailbox so that the migrated user can continue to use their email. When searching online I found the official answer from Microsoft which is to disable-mailbox and then connect-mailbox, however this loses all of the Exchange related attributes. Of course you […]

SMART AD Migrator Architecture
This week we will look more deeply into the Binary Tree SMART AD Migrator software’s architecture, and how to scale up or out. We introduced AD Migrator in an earlier blog called “Introducing SMART AD Migrator from Binary Tree”. If you’ve not heard of the product before it is worth reading the overview first. Right, […]
Merge a MailContact with a User
Often when doing migrations some form of GalSync has taken place or where admins have manually created mailcontacts in the opposite Exchange Org to assist with coexistence. However when it comes time to do the migration the Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 it will convert the MailContact into a MailUser and ensure it has the mailboxGUID and other attributes […]
Convert Mailbox to Mailuser
I was asked to convert a mailbox to a mailuser, and funny enough although the reverse is true, you can’t just call enable-mailuser on a mailbox… Of course you can disable-mailbox and then enable-mailuser but that removes all Exchange related attributes, which isn’t really that desirable. To overcome this I wrote a small script that […]
Introducing SMART AD Migrator from Binary Tree
We’ve just had two days of training using the revamped SMART AD Migrator software from Binary Tree. They’ve had an AD migration tool for some time, but it used to have various issues. These resulted in a total overhaul of the product, and this current release looks to be in a good stable state. The […]
Bandwidth Latency’s Relationship to Throughput
This post aims to explain bandwidth and latency individually and then look at how they relate to throughput. It came about when discussing how some transfers like mailbox moves got nowhere near to using the overall capacity on a network link, and also why SMTP transfers for large emails were taking much longer than expected. […]
Deleting Folders
from an Exchange Mailbox with PowerShell I was given an escalation at a client where somehow a user managed to create thousands of folders all nested one inside the other. So the task was how to delete these folders. User and 1/2/3rd line support had already tried using Outlook, OWA and MFCMapi but none of […]
