How curious! Outlook 2003 can’t read Exchange 2010 PSTs
Microsoft has released KB2742408 to report that Outlook 2003 clients can’t read PSTs generated by Exchange 2010′s New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet. This is kind of curious, if understandable. New-MailboxExportRequest is processed by the Mailbox Replication Service (MRS) running on a CAS server. It creates … Continue reading

Tweaking the Mailbox Replication Service configuration file
The Mailbox Replication Service (MRS) is an essential component of any Exchange 2010 deployment as it controls the movement of mailboxes between databases. MRS runs on all Exchange 2010 Client Access Servers (CAS). MRS gets involved in migrations from Exchange … Continue reading
Batching Exchange 2010 mailbox moves

After you’ve run Exchange 2010 for a while, you’ve probably moved a few mailboxes around and have accumulated some completed mailbox move requests. When it begins to move a mailbox, the Mailbox Replication Service (MRS) stamps the user object for … Continue reading
Exchange 2010 problems due to insufficient access to Active Directory
