Exchange 2007 e certificados

Depois de instalada uma nova infra-estrutura de Exchange Server 2007, é preciso garantir que todos os clientes, tais como Outlook Web Access e Outlook 2007, conseguem aceder aos serviços de maneira segura e encriptada sem receber um aviso que o certificado não é válido.

É preciso não esquecer que podem ser utilizados vários nomes para aceder aos serviços, como por exemplo:

• https://CAS01/owa
• https://CAS01.FQDN.name/owa
• https://CASIntranetName/owa
• https://autodiscover.emaildomain.com

Todos estes nomes podem ser incluídos num único certificado, através da propriedade Subject Alternative Name (SAN).

Para gerar este Certificate Signing Request (CSR) com múltiplos domínios, será necessário utilizar o Exchange Management Shell, correndo o seguinte comando:

New-ExchangeCertificate -generaterequest -subjectname 
"dc=com,dc=contoso,o=Contoso Corporation,
cn=exchange.contoso.com" -domainname exchange.contoso.com,
 CAS01,CAS01.exchange.corp.constoso.com, 
autodiscover.contoso.com -PrivateKeyExportable $true 
-path c:\certrequest_cas01.txt

Este comando irá gerar um ficheiro no formato PKCS#10 com o pedido de certificado.

Se acaha que isto é muito complicado e prefere uma maneira mais gráfica, a digicert disponibilizou este New-ExchangeCertificate Command Generator.

Como obter um endereço @live.com

Com o lançamento oficial do Windows Live, já é possível obter endereços @live.com. Para quem está em Portugal, pode ser um bocadinho difícil e frustrante (eu já passei por isso), por isso aqui ficam as instruções:

1. Abrir o browser e fazer sign-out de todos os serviços Live
2. Alterar as Regional Settings no Control Panel para English (United States)
3. Mudar a lingua do browser para Inglês (no Internet Explorer ir ao menu Tools | Internet Options | Languages | Add e seleccionar English (United States) [en-us] e colocá-la em primeiro lugar)
4. Ir a http://www.windowslive.com/ e carregar no botão "Get Windows Live - Free"
    
5. Na janela que se abre, não seleccionar nenhum dos proidutos/serviços e carregar no botão "Install"
6. Vai ser lançado o Installer. Nas janelas seguintes carregar em Run
7. Clicar em Close depois de terminada a instalação. Abre-se então uma nova janela onde deverão carregar em "Sign in" (canto superior direito)
8. Na nova janela, carregar em "Sign up" para subscrever um Live ID @live.com.

Comigo funcionou. Espero que consigam também. Boa sorte!

Ferramentas para manusear os logs de Exchange

Aqui fica uma lista de ferramentas bastante úteis (e grátis) para manusear os logs criados pelo Exchange Server:

• Exchange Log Search Tool - If you have ever administered Microsoft Exchange server then you have had to look through the message tracking logs...arg!!!!! They can be ridiculously large and it's painfully monotonous to scan through them (if not down right impossible).
• Performance Analysis of Logs (PAL) Tool - Ever have a performance problem, but don't know what performance counters to collect or how to analyze them? The PAL (Performance Analysis of Logs) tool is a new and powerful tool that reads in a performance monitor counter log (any known format) and analyzes it using complex, but known thresholds (provided). The tool generates an HTML based report which graphically charts important performance counters and throws alerts when thresholds are exceeded. The thresholds are originally based on thresholds defined by the Microsoft product teams and members of Microsoft support, but continue to be expanded by this ongoing project. This tool is not a replacement of traditional performance analysis, but it automates the analysis of performance counter logs enough to save you time. This is a VBScript and requires Microsoft LogParser (free download).

O tão aguardado Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 está finalmente disponível!

This management pack includes scripts and rules to effectively monitor Exchange 2007 and report on performance, availability, and reliability of its server roles.

Overview

The management pack monitors and provides alerts for automatic notification of events indicating service outages, performance degradation, health monitoring, and centralized management.

.NET Framework 2.0 Update para Exchange 2007

A Microsoft disponibilizou uma actualização da .NET Framework 2.0 que deve ser instalada em todos os servidores Exchange 2007.  Embora seja prioritária a sua instalação em servidores Client Access com múltiplos protocolos, a recomendação é que seja igualmente aplicada nos restantes servidores Exchange 2007.

Este fix será integrado num futuro SP1 da .NET Framework, mas que não tem ainda previsto a data de lançamento.

Mais informações estão disponíveis no seguinte artigo da Knowledge Base:

• KB942027 - FIX: You may notice that the memory load is very high when you run an application that is built on the .NET Framework 2.0

TechNet Magazine - Outubro 2007

A Edição de Outubro da TechNet Magazine já está disponível online. Também pode ser descarregada como um ficheiro HTML Help file (.chm).

O tema principal desta edição é a poupança de energia no Datacenter, contribuindo assim para a salvação do Planeta.

Bem a propósito, o Primeiro Ministro de Portugal, José Sócrates, anunciou no debate sobre Mudança Climática das Nações Unidas que a União Europeia decidiu unilateralmente cortar 20% na emissão de gases de efeito de estufa, ou 30% se outros países industrializados (leia-se Estados Unidos) assinarem o mesmo compromisso.

E aqui fica a lista dos meus artigos preferidos desta edição:

• A Guide to Active Directory Replication
• Exchange Edge Transport Servers at Microsoft
• Windows PowerShell - Working Without a Script

Mensagens Out of Office creativas

Enquanto andava a navegar no site Pro-Exchange, houve um post sobre mensagens Out of Office que me prendeu a atenção. A lista destas mensagens bastante creativas pode ser encontrada no Blog do Curious George:

1. I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. I may be a little moody so be prepared.
2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all.
3. Sorry to have missed you, but I am at the doctor's having my brain removed so I can be promoted to our management team.
4. I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you send me until I return from vacation on 4/8. Please be patient, and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.
5. Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged £5.99 for the first 10 words and £1.99 for each additional word in your message.
6. The e-mail server is unable to verify your server connection and is unable to deliver this message. Please restart your computer and try sending again.
   (The beauty of this is that when you return, you can see how many in-duh-viduals did this over and over.)
7. Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.
8. Hi, I'm thinking about what you've just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response.
9. I've run away to join a different circus.
10. I will be out of the office for the next 2 weeks for medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as " Sharon " instead of "Steve".

Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications, 2007

 

Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications, 2007 é um estudo da Gartner que analisa os vários fabricantes nesta área e os organiza em quadrantes, de acordo com 2 vectores: visão e capacidade de execução. Mais uma vez a Microsoft é colocada no quadrante dos líderes.

Microsoft strengths:

• Microsoft is a strong company with an ecosystem of partners that can deliver value-added products, professional services and wide distribution.
• The company has strategic partnerships in specific areas, such as live voice, and IP and PBX add credibility in these technology and service areas.
• Parts of Microsoft's UC portfolio are very mature (for instance, e-mail), and the overall portfolio is quite complete, with partnerships in weaker areas. The newer parts of the portfolio likely will get wide exposure throughout 2008 and will mature rapidly as a result.
• An established base of desktop applications and experience in graphical user interface design will assist in making complex communication applications easier to use.
• Enterprises looking into UC, particularly those with Microsoft applications already in place, should understand the Microsoft portfolio because it represents a new paradigm for communication by a market leader. Microsoft’s solution is comprehensive but is also the basis for a range of partner offerings.
