I have found a few of contenders: Mastering Windows Server 2008 R2 Mastering Exchange Server 2010 Windows Server 2008 R2 Unleashed Exchange Server 2010 Unleashed These look to be substantial books with good coverage of the subjects, the Unleashed ones appear to have slightly better reviews...

A few more things to try, thanks. Now it's just a matter of wrestling a machine off someone when it next happens...

Hi, Is there a definitive guide for installing Exchange 2010 on Server 2008 R2? Online or in a book, either is good. I find the Microsoft website impossible to read and the various blogs I find seem to be patchy and make assumptions of steps already performed or knowledge of how to do certain...

Thank you for your help Vacunita. I don't think it can be a clock / date thing as this should also cause problems with IE7 / IE6. How can I check how the cookies is being set and how long it takes to expire? I am not a PHP coder, even if I could get access to the code I wouldn't know what...

Hi, I will state in advance that I do not have access to the code nor am I the developer, however it has come to me to investigate the problem none the less. We run an in-house hta / PHP based database application, it is accessed via an internal IP address of the format...

jlh1 - when an internal domain user tries to access the Out of Office Assistant from Outlook 2007 it tells them that the server is not currently available. We do not have any external users.

Could you set two transport rules? One to send the auto-response, the other to forward incoming emails?

I am having the same problem but for internal domain users, though it works through OWA. I've followed numerous snippets of advice in forums but it's still not working. Sorry I can't help with your problem, but would you have any advice for mine seeing as yours is working please?

Btw the client has been successfully joined to the 2008 R2 domain. Also ipconfig shows DNS servers correctly (they are set to be the domain controller IP address, it should forward DNS requests as required to the router, this is how Server 2003 works at least).

Hmm. Fresh installation of Server 2008 R2 with DNS, DHCP, and Active Directory roles installed and configured, but the XP client cannot browse the internet. It can ping the new 2008 R2 domain controller but not the gateway. The 2008 R2 server can browse the internet fine and ping the gateway...

Ah OK, thanks.

We are going to flatten the server next week anyway so we'll see if it's any better after that. Several attempts at installing Exchange 2010 on another server in this test domain has corrupted the Active Directory, which might explain the client problems.

Last time I tried, no, could not ping the gateway, can't remember if I could ping the domain controller (I'm at a different site today, going to pick up on it again next week). It's confusing me now as the machine logs into the domain using a domain account, there is no 'offline files' icon in...

Just to clarify, are the forestprep and domainprep steps what the script does?

Yes, loopback pings OK. Both client PCs I've tried previously worked normally when attached to another network, the Windows XP Pro client has been joined to the domain, the Ubuntu one was not (for obvious reasons) but still picked up the gateway correctly.
