We spent a lot of money on Quest so that we would have less headaches during this divestiture

mfinni

Oct 20, 2014 18:00

If Quest can't work properly with known behavior of custom Managed Folders, then advertise that as a limitation and we can work around it. We're raising it as an issue now and they're saying "nope, designed behavior"

mfinni

@HopelessN00b Yes, that would be great, if we weren't planning on moving the corporate office (the bulk of the users with large mailboxes and "exempt from retention" custom managed folders) tomorrow.

Q: Quest Migration Manager for Exchange, and custom Managed Folders - causing duplicates

So, we're doing a big cross-forest Exchange (2010->2010) migration, using Quest. It is not working correctly for mailboxes that have custom Managed Folders, which my client uses instead of retention policies. Quest will bring over the "Managed Folders" hierarchy to the target mailbox, but not as...

I don't think this is an entity you want to be following.

Lots of Quest tools lying around here, which is good, but a lot of adjunct work to make it all happy too

Still at the same client for the last year+ now, still their exchange admin but working them through a 6000-user child company divestiture

I'd have to define every parameter?

There are lots of fiddly details when running get-managedcontentsettings. I can certainly use a text editor to manually copy-and-paste, but in some cases I have to insert quotes, etc

Is there a reliable way to re-format a "get-" command into a "new-' command? I have piles of Exchange settings that I need to apply to a new Exchange environment

@MichelZ That dude asked the same question yesterday, I answered it. Apparently he deleted and re-posted it. I also suggested that he was wrong about the IIS version but he insisted.

@kce Only if that causes disk IO; depends on your Flash cache settings I would think.

mfinni

@kce Drive some IO to it and see if it craps out?

Yup, though to. FIM can sync passwords when they're changed, but not any other time

mfinni

Sep 22, 2014 20:56

You only need one FIM installation to sync directories, it needs to be able to write to both of course.

mfinni

Sep 22, 2014 20:55

I don't believe FIM will sync passwords either

mfinni

Sep 22, 2014 20:47

So, if you're doing authentication, you should try ADFS. That's what it's for.

mfinni

Sep 22, 2014 20:47

You stated in your comment that you only needed exchange and lync attributes. Using PES from ADMT for this seems like a bad idea; it's not what it was meant for.

mfinni

Sep 22, 2014 20:47

Then, if you only need those attributes, a set of scheduled tasks for export->transfer->Mangle if needed->import should work just fine.
