Exchange 2003--How to force message stuck in 'Messages with an unreachable destination' to retry

I was in the middle of a migration from Exchange 2003 to 2010 and was troubleshooting public folder replication when I noticed my replication emails to the new public folder database were stuck in the unreachable messages queue.

The solution is to simply restart the SMTP service:

net stop smtpsvc
net start smtpsvc

Then the messages flowed out the appropriate connector.

Exchange 2010 HTML Mailbox Size Report

Not the prettiest thing in the world but gets the job done by printing each user's mailbox size & total items into a HTML table:

get-mailbox -database "Mailbox Database 1706745955" | get-mailboxstatistics  | where {$_.objectclass -eq "Mailbox"} | sort-object totalitemsize -descending | select-object @{label="User";expression={$_.DisplayName}},@{label=
"Total Size (MB)";expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}},@{label="Items";expression={$_.ItemCount}}  | convertto-html | out-file report.htm


May need to modify the mailbox database name.

Android Corporate Exchange Setup - Username or Password Incorrect

I spent a lot of time ensuring ActiveSync was working properly for a client on Exchange 2010--they have a lot of iPhones and I wanted to be sure everything top-notch.

When attempting to activate a Motorola Droid 2 with the Exchange server, I kept receiving the error "Username or password incorrect" despite the fact that the username & password were both in fact correct.  I was also unable to enter a server name no matter what.

I managed to solve the issue by entering a completely incorrect email address (user@blah.com) before finally being prompted for the server.  After entering the FQDN of the mail server, I was able to successfully authenticate the account.

Exchange 2010 - Can't Download OAB

During a migration from Exchange 2007->Exchange 2010, I could not figure out why my OAB would not download after deleting & re-creating it.

Originally, we were having an issue where Outlook 2003 clients would throw "Task 'Microsoft Exchange Server' reported error (0x8004010F): "The operation failed.  An object could not be found." when attempting to send/receive.  I tracked the issue down to the OAB after a short Google search. 

Our OAB virtual directory was actually empty, and there was no GUID folder before I found the solution below.

When attempting to download the OAB directly from Exchange 2010, one would receive the message: "An error occurred while opening the Microsoft Exchange Offline Address Book files," and event ID 27 (source: Outlook), "The operation failed," would be recorded in the application event log.

This post provided the solution.  After running the command in Exchange Management Console on the 2010 server:

update-FileDistributionService

I was able to download the OAB successfully from Outlook 2010.
