Do you add a new entry or replace the existing one in the federated domain list? If new entry what is the associated domain?

currently the server it points to for us in outlook anywhere is our Clustered Mailbox server name. “company-vex-001″ if you look at account properties.

So what should appear after a mailbox move to 2010? the dag name the mailbox servers belong to?

Also, for this information to be updated automatically by autodiscover, is the legacy.domain.com legacy hostnames required to be configured for this transition to work seamlessly, or no?

We’re planning on a weekend transition and mailbox move that potentially wouldn’t need co-existance and users wouldn’t necessarily be actively accessing outlook during this time.

Any inpout would be great, as I can’t find answers to these specific planning questions.

Thanks,

Josh

As far as migrating to Google Apps: I’d suggest really looking into what you’re missing out on by moving to Gmail from Exchange. Make sure to run a pilot program and at the very least, compare it with a migration to Office 365. There have been many businesses before you that have moved to Google Apps and realized it was a mistake (only to then realize that it is either too late/expensive to switch to something else, should have gone to Microsoft’s cloud platform for continuity of features, or should have upgraded internally for stability).

I moved to MAC just under two weeks ago after my Dell laptop died. We have SBS 2003 Exchange Server. Exchange works perfectly with the PC apps from Outlook 2003 through to 2010. I have been through a vertical learning curve understanding that with Office 2011 for MAC, it will not work with Exchange 2003. The 2011 Office for MAC is fantastic. However, I have had to abandon it because:

1. We are migrating away from SBS Exchange 2003 to Gmail, so there is no point investing in an upgrade of Exchange 2007/2010 to make it MAC compatible.

2. No matter what we tried, we couldn’t get calendar access into Outlook, synchronisation of tasks etc. although we could get access to emails via IMAP using Apple Mail (and MAC Outlook 2011) using the Dav ‘add-on’.

What have I done to get around the problem? Heresy to MAC lovers I’m afraid. The MAC 2011 (Trial) has been uninstalled of my beloved Macbook Air. I’ve installed ‘Parallels’ v.7 and the PC version of Office 2010, including Outlook 2010. Works like a dream and synchronises perfectly with SBS Exchange 2003. I and my team have access to each others calendars, tasks and so forth.

It’s a compromise, but at least I can stay on the Mac until we move to Gmail/Google Apps/Calendar when I hope that I will be able to move to native Mac once again.

Best wishes.

I played around with Snow Leopard and had lots of issues with laptop non caching passwords that we are looking at the Open Directory route to see if that integrates better with our AD 2008 server system.

Anyone still listening?

Thanks!

1. if installed, use the powershell to remove the rpc over http component:
ServerManagerCmd -r RPC-over-HTTP-proxy
(nb. it is important to bo this before step 2 as this process also removes the rpcproxy key)

2. create the following registry key, in this example for the SBS 2008 “SBS Web Applications” website
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy\Website
as a String, with value “SBS Web Applications”

3. reinstall the rpc proxy component:
ServerManagerCmd -r RPC-over-HTTP-proxy

please advise.

Can be summed up in 2 words.

yeah, right

I am in the third category and I am having a problem with authenting to the workgroup manager. Nothings changes it just stopped working. Can you help please??
