How to add a Subject Alternative Name to a secure LDAP certificate

This post describes how to add a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) to a secure Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) certificate. The LDAP certificate is submitted to a certification authority (CA) that is configured on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer. The SAN lets you connect to a domain controller by using a Domain Name System (DNS) name other than the computer name. This article includes information about how to add SAN attributes to a certification request that is submitted to an enterprise CA, a stand-alone CA, or a third-party CA.

Disable conversation view on OWA 2010

Not like Outlook 2010 when the conversation view comes disabled by default, on OWA 2010 it comes enebled. 

To disable the way the e-mails are arranged you need just uncheck the highlighted checkbox.

DAG FSW is empty - Getting "The cluster resource could not be found" when try to manage Failover Clustering

I couldn't find way of make the DAG to recreate the files on its File Share Witness, every trying was unsuccessful.

When I tried to remove the servers from DAG to recreate it I recieved an error because the cluster couldn't find the quorum. I decided to try a not good way to solve the problem, but using the following steps I could have the DAG working fine.

1- Removed every server from DAG using Remove-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer -Identity -MailboxServer -ConfigurationOnly
2- Cleaned the cluster using this command to every DAG member cluster node /forcecleanup

Done, now you can delete the DAG and recreate it.

Unable to mount Exchange 2007 database


After restoring an Exchange 2007 server from a backup to a test ESXi VM I was unable to mount the Exchange mailbox database:
Failed to mount database ‘Mailbox Store’.
Error:
Exchange is unable to mount the database that you specified. Specified database: SERVER1\First Storage Group\Mailbox Store; Error code: MapiExceptionJetErrorAttachedDatabaseMismatch: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-1216)
To fix this I used:
eseutil -p “Mailbox Store.edb” 
eseutil /r E02 /i
(in the directory that contains the database)

!The first command is said to be able to cause the loss of data. So only run this on a backup database!

Mailbox doesn't appear on Disconnected Mailbox after disabling it

Sometimes when you disable a mailbox you click o Disconnected Mailbox and can't see the mailbox that you've just disabled.

To see the hidden disconnected mailbox run the following cmdlet on the mailbox server that hosts the mailbox:

Clean-MailboxDatabase “Database Name”

After running the cmdlet return to EMC and refresh Disconnected Mailbox, then you'll see the mailbox there.

Using Import/Export-Mailbox on Exchange 2010

By default you cannot see the cmdlets import-mailbox either export-mailbox. To enable the Exchange Management Shell to use these cmdlets you need to run this command to allow a specific user:

New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Role “Mailbox Import Export” –User “Rodrigo”

or you can enable a group:

New-ManagementRoleAssignment –Role “Mailbox Import Export” –Group “MailboxAccessGroup”

After running one of these cmdlets restart the Exchange Management Shell to use the "hidden" cmdlets.
