Weak and Strong Host Behavior in Windows for multihomed Computer
Windows XP and Windows Server® 2003 use the weak host model for sends and receives for all IPv4 interfaces and the strong host model for sends and receives for all IPv6 interfaces. You cannot configure this behavior. The Next Generation TCP/IP stack in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 supports strong host sends and receives for both IPv4 and IPv6 by default on all interfaces except the Teredo tunneling interface for a Teredo host-specific relay. Figure 4 lists the commands that you can use to configure send and receive behavior for both IPv4 and IPv6 on a per-interface basis. Note that InterfaceNameOrIndex is either the name of the interface from the Network Connections folder or its interface index. You can obtain the interface index of an interface from the display of the command:
Commands to configure strong and weak send and receive behavior
• netsh interface ipv4 set interface [InterfaceNameOrIndex] weakhostreceive=enabled|disabled
• netsh interface ipv6 set interface [InterfaceNameOrIndex] weakhostsend=enabled|disabled
• netsh interface ipv6 set interface [InterfaceNameOrIndex] weakhostreceive=enabled|disabled

Exchange 2010, say good bye to single instance storage (SIS)
- Ensure that messages were delivered as fast and as efficient as possible.
- Reduce the amount of disk space required to store messages, as disk capacity was premium.
- Environments that only send Rich-Text Format messages. The compression algorithms in Exchange 2010 do not compress RTF message blobs because they already exist in their most compressible form.
- Sending large attachments to many users. For example, sending a large (30 MB+) attachment to 20 users. Even if there were only 5 recipients out of the 20 on the same database, in Exchange 2003 that meant the 30MB attachment was stored once instead of 5 times on that database. In Exchange 2010, that attachment is stored 5 times (150 MB for that database) and isn't compressed. But depending on your storage architecture, the capacity to handle this should be there. Also, your email retention requirements will help here, by forcing the removal of the data after a certain period of time.
- Business or organizational archives that are used to maintain immutable copies of messaging data benefit from single instancing because the system only has to keep one copy of the data, which is useful when you need to maintain that data indefinitely for compliance purposes.
Outlook Fonts change once you compose a new email or reply to an email
When composing click on the Zoom button on the Home tab.
When composing go to the Format Text tab and click on the Zoom button.
You can only zoom when you have Word set as the email editor. The Zoom function can be found in the View menu.
The change in the zoom factor probably was caused by holding the CTRL button while scrolling. This is an alternative method to change the zoom factor.

Outlook 2007 support for Exchange 2010 SP1 mailbox Archive
How does it work in Outlook 2007?
Cached Exchange Mode and Archive Mailboxes
In Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2007, users can access archive mailboxes only when they're connected to the Exchange server. The connection can be an RPC (over TCP) connection, or Outlook Anywhere (aka RPC over HTTP). Even if the Outlook profile is configured to use Cached Exchange Mode, the archive mailbox is never cached locally to the user's computer. When the user is no longer connected to Exchange, the archive mailbox becomes inaccessible. The locally cached primary mailbox remains accessible if using Cached Exchange Mode.- Move or copy messages and folders between their primary mailbox and the archive mailbox
- Move or copy messages and folders between a PST file and their archive mailbox (if access to PST files is not blocked by the administrator). Note: In Exchange 2010 SP1, administrators can also use mailbox import requests to import data from PST files to either the user's archive or primary mailbox. For more information, see Understanding Mailbox Import and Export Requests.
- Export or import messages to and from the archive mailbox
- Use Inbox Rules to automatically move messages to a folder in the archive mailbox
- Search across primary and archive mailboxes: When a user searches the primary mailbox, and selects All Mailbox Items, Outlook does not search the archive mailbox. Similarly, when the user searches the archive mailbox, the primary mailbox is not searched.
- Archive policies: In Outlook 2007, users can't use personal tags (also known as archive policies) to move items to the archive mailbox. Any default archive policies for the mailbox continue to be applied. Users can use Outlook Web App to see or apply archive policies.
Archive policies are retention policy tags with the Move to Archive action. Organizations can use the Default Archive and Retention Policy, or apply custom retention policies to a mailbox. The policies can include a default policy tag (DPT) to move items from the primary mailbox to the archive mailbox, and personal tags which users can apply to messages or folders to move them to archive. For more information, see Understanding Personal Archives, and Understanding Retention Tags and Retention Policies.

Exchange Server 2007/2011 Cross Mailbox Search using Export-mailbox
Monday, March 14, 2011
Re: Outlook 2007 Reminders for archives and additional pst-files
I'm storing a couple of my Outlook folders outside of my default mailbox (inside a separate pst-file). When I flag messages in this folder and add a reminder I get the following error;
"The reminder for "<subject>" will not appear because the item is in a folder that doesn't support reminders. Is this OK?"
How can I add reminder support to this folder?
Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 do support reminders across folders in additional pst-files but by default this option is disabled.
To enable reminder support for these pst-files;
- Right click on the top of the pst-file and choose Properties.
- In the Properties dialog enable the option;
Display reminders and tasks from this folder in the To-Do Bar - You'll be prompted to restart Outlook. Once restarted, the reminders should work.
If reminders still do not pop-up for you then or when you want to add Reminder support across folders for Outlook 2003 or previous see; Follow Up Flags and reminders
Enable reminder support for additional pst-files.

How to Export LCS user list
The challenge was to generate a list of LCS enabled users that were not disabled. I have a WMI query that will generate a list of LCS users, but I really wanted to be able to filter out the disabled users.
Install Powershell 1.0 or later on LCS server
Get-WmiObject msft_sipesusersetting -filter "Enabled = true" | Select-Object DisplayName >LCSuserslist.txt
As I had some other needs at the time, I added the telephone information as well to the query. Using get-member you can find a number of other different pieces of useful information to gather as well.
A lot of the 'engine' on how/where to get this information I found here and a nod to Eric Woodford for helping with the only enabled users filter.
