into setting up a CRM Dynamics 4.0 + Exchange + Sharepoint server.
Are there companies who specialize in setting this up? I've tried a couple times, but just can't seem to get it configured 100% and working.
We have all of the licenses for it, we just need someone familiar with the setup to do it for us.
My windows server already running with Plesk 9.2. Now I need to install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0) on same server.
But I did same this few months back, then plesk has been killed.
Do I have way to run both Plesk and SharePoint on same server?
any reliable hosting provider that provides SharePoint (WSS 3.0) hosting for personal use?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to get Sharepoint via hosting company. I am thinking about getting cost-effective dedicated server package and install SharePoint. Is this possible and if so, what good hosting comapnies that can do this?
Or are there all in one packages that can offer this? This company [url]. Are there other companies like this... $245/mo is really expensive.
I want to move a Sharepoint site (WSS 3.0) to another server. Now my question is how?
I've only found a way by using frontpage 2003 but I don't want/can't do this. I need another way.
The site name will remain the same and everything, but I don't know how to export everything and import on this new server.
Keeping in mind that said business might use Microsoft Exchange.
Also please explain the difference between the product Sharepoint Server, and a actual Sharepoint Server/Hoster on the web.
Is anyone having a problem with Intermedia's Hosted Sharepoint (WSS 3.0) Service? For the past couple days I've had sporadic service. Finally today, None of my pc's can get to my hosted sharepoint site. I even tried my site from 3 other locations, all with different ISP's, networks, and even geographic locations. (2 Corporate spots in OKC, Tulsa, Dallas).
Anyways their tech support says they can log in fine, and it's just a problem with my ISP. (I tried to emphasis the fact that it's 4 different ISP's all having the same issue).
Ping's good, I even get an authentication window. Just when I put in credentials I get The connection was interrupted.
Anyways phone support could only offer to open a ticket for me. Can anyone else using Intermedia Hosted Sharepoint let me know if they too are having problems? I realize Hosted Email is probably working fine.
I am having an issues with a link in share point which is like

We have recently had an IT guy perforn the upgrade from wss 2.0 to wss 3.0 and we have since lost the entire database architecture and I believe the data stored therein. Is there someplace on the server where the data records could be stored and has anyone had similar problems with this type of upgrade? The IT firm says it's a problem with a security patch from microsoft but I can't find anythying referencing that online.
The following may provide some background on what transpired and how it has been handled thus far; these are from correspondence between our company and the IT firm in chronological order:
Our initial inquiry:
5/23 We have several questions regarding the upgrade of the SPS software, not the least of which being why was the upgrade performed without any advance notice to our office, this notice would have allowed us to take the precaution of having our people save their work in progress and prevented the loss of data and time that we experienced. In the future we would ask that we be shown the professional courtesy of prior notification before commencing any major work to the server environment.
At about 1:00 yesterday all of the computers at the shop went down, we contacted (IT REP) and he said that you had started the install of the 3.0 software that morning and at the time he said that the install was complete.
And since that time we have had multiple problems with the system. First we have no remote access, and receive a server error of the server application is not available, the lay-out of the pages does not process properly ie…the column order displays in a random sequence and not as called for in the column settings. The default page now has the added search feature however the format of the prior software has been retained which causes the navigation of that particular page to differ from the rest of the site.
Please contact us as soon as possible, as (COMPANY OWNER) has no access to the system and no e-mail.
Reply from IT Rep:
5/24 IT REP worked on the phone for over 7 hours yesterday. The Microsoft Tech and IT REP agreed to continue this morning. I know as of last night the remote portion of the Companyweb and the internal site were functioning. However, they are continuing to work to retrieve the existing data.
Did you ever add the other external hard drive to your backup rotation? If so, please let IT REP know. I have meeting this morning until 11:30, if you need anything please contact IT REP.
We will discuss what caused the problem and future prevention after all is resolved.
Our response:
5/25 I am inquiring as to the progress toward restoration of the company web. As you are already aware, the data contained in the company web is crucial to the day to day operation of our business. We are not able to access any of our scheduling information for installations, production or customer service issues. While we have been able to track most of these items thus far, the amount of information available for scheduling next week is quite limited.
It would be helpful to have some indication of when we expect to be restored as well as an estimate of the percentage of data which may be lost, so that we can begin to formulate our response to the situation.
I am certain that you and IT REP understand just how serious the consequences of this situation can become, and assume that you will be capable of providing us with periodic updates as to your progress.
I would also be interested to find out if there are plans to work this out over the weekend or if it has been decided to place this on the back burner and resume restoration of our vital data on tuesday. IT Reply:
5/25 At this point, this is a Microsoft issue that they are working on to resolve – I’m only facilitating their ability to access the server and work. I am doubtful that they work on the weekend, but I will find out. IT REP and I have spent roughly 25 hours in the last 2.5 days working on this, myself until almost midnight last night, so he and I are putting forth every conceivable effort to resolve this. In the mean time, I have turned off the automatic updates (which are enabled by default) to prevent this type of thing from happening again. Keep in mind that if there were 2 hard drives being used in a rotation as IT REP suggested, we’d have backups from before the failed patch to revert to.
As soon as I have any indication of a target time for resolution, I will not hesitate to let you know.Our next question:
5/25 Have we checked to hard drive that is currently in use to see if there is anything salvageable on there. Isn't the server partitioned and mirrored?Latest IT correspodence:
5/25 I have a few suggestions from microsoft that we were going to try, but it looks as though someone took the external drive off the server, so we were unable to do it. I was just checking to see that someone did do that, and that it's in a safe place until it can be reconnected.. The server uses a RAID 5, not mirroring. Mirroring wouldn't matter either, as in a mirrored configuration, 2 drives mirror each other - when the primary is written to, the secondary (mirror) is immediately updated. I'm pretty sure we can get the data files (.dwg, .xls. ,doc, etc) out of the sharepoint database, but we'll need the drive reconnected. The Microsoft engineers have left for the day, but we'll be back on it next week on Tues when they're back in.
I've recently had a number of enquiries from hosted clients and potential customers requesting SharePoint hosting for use in connection with their current packages. I've used Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 in the past, but am specifically looking into the latest and greatest release of SharePoint to date to install - SharePoint Server 2007.
I've read over Microsoft's server requirements for running SharePoint, who recommend a 3GHz or higher processor and 2GB RAM for web servers, and 4GB RAM for SQL servers. To me, this seems ridiculous for the small number of clients I'll ever be hosting, and who will only have a small number of SharePoint users per site.
Those with any experience of SharePoint hosting please share your opinions of SharePoint hosting on various server configurations, as I'm interested to know how it performs. As I'll only have a small user base, would running SharePoint fully on one existing IIS 6 web server do the trick? What processor should this machine have, and amount of RAM to run SharePoint well?
Can anyone recommend me Good companies to use Hosted Exchange.

I WILL be install WS2003 EE R2 on a dedicated server.
However, I will make this into a DC/AD so I can install Exchange and serve the system as a Webserver. All that's fine
But the question during the creation of an DC props up.
I have 2 domains. I will also have 2 dedicated IP's.
Now, lets say I have domains www.aaa.com and www.bbb.com
1) Would I Install and configure DNS on this server? Remember, this is a dedicated server located in a datacenter somewhere with their infrastructure in place.
2) Would I need to configure anything in the LAN settings? Should I just leave everything to automatically detect IP and DNS Servers? (No other computer will be joining this domain)
anything else I should be aware of?
ok, now I have those domain names, I would need to update the DNS Records from the web hoster right? So I would need to update the NS records (The place I purchased the domain from)
Exchange
Now, since I will be creating several user accounts here, these user accounts will be for email addresses.
1) Is it possible to have 2 domains on this 1 exchange server? I'm guessing not? (I dont have knowledge about exchange)
2) What about configuring an exchange server? How would I say create an email address like "abc@aaa.com"? So this email account would then be able to send/recieve email?
Just today we started having some problems with our exchange server...everything was working fine until around 10:00 A.M this morning.
We've started getting sporadic reject messages from people that we have always been able to email in the past.

Theres more as well, but that pretty much sums up the main issues really....as I said, these were working fine for the last year, until today. No changes have been made on our exchange server.
We have GFI Mail essentials installed with SPF records turned on.
We have reverse dns setup through Time Warner Telecom for our IP.
I can send email to my hotmail address, but yahoo rejects it.
I've checked dnsstuff.com and dnsreport.com and we're not on any blacklists.
I'm not exactly sure where else to look.
These mail servers rejecting our email are not from just 1 ISP or 1 mail server, these are from companies in different states/countries.

I've seen various companies offering Microsoft Exchange hosting but I'm not sure if this is what I need to go with or not. Let me explain what I'm wanting to do and maybe someone can give me a yay or nay on it. I have a desktop and a laptop running Outlook that I would like to be able to sync together with a web-based server. I also have a Treo 750 cell phone that I want to have my calendar and tasks synced as well with the web-based server.
For example: I add an appointment on my desktop computer and it syncs with the web server. When the web server gets it, it syncs to my cell phone via ActiveSync. Right now I'm using the free version of Mail2Web which doesn't support Outlook syncing. (I have to manually enter the data on the website interface and then it will sync via Activesync to my phone.) They do have a paid version starting at $11.95/mo that will supposedly do what I'm wanting to do with Outlook, but I'm not sure if this is overkill for what I need or not. Again I don't really need to sync email, just my calendar and tasks.
So do I need a full blown exchange hosting provider or is there some software (other than Exchange) that I can install on my Windows VPS that will do what I'm looking to do?
What's the best way to move exchange? Tried exmerge but it's bad, i.e. loss ratio. Tried export / import but not good with 50+ boxes, too slow that way.

View 0 Replies View RelatedIm looking to find UK Hosted Exchange providers.
NOTE: Please dont refer resellers. Im looking for big companies that own their datacenter and manage their own exchange servers.
Something like intermedia, but with servers located in UK.
I have a slight issue that some of my emails are being converted to a htm file and attached to the email. I am using exchange server and outlook.
For example if I received an email and it was converted into a htm file and the body of the email was deleted so only the attachment existed which included the email.
There is no trend to this as sometimes it happens and on other occasions it doesn’t.
Besides this when I receive a read receipt many of these are converted to a normal email. I know this can happen from the senders side but I know for sure that some of the read receipts received should include outlooks read receipt icon although this is not happening. Is this something to do with exchange or my outlook installation.
does anyone have a fix for the Exchange 2007 kerberos issue when connecting Kayako to Exchange via pop3 or imap?
kayako says:
Quote:
The reason for the error you are getting is a bug in MS Exchange 2007. The exact reason is, Exchange server falsely advertises that it support Kerberos authentication even when it is configured not to use Kerberos. This causes the fetch request to fail from PHP as PHP-imap always tries to use Kerberos first.
The workaround to this issue is either to use a different mail server or compile PHP without Kerberos support(in that case it will simply ignore Exchange's erroneous behavior regarding Kerberos).
If possible you may setup a secondary mail server (Non exchange 2007) and forward the required emails there and configure help desk to fetch the emails from the secondary email server(non-exchange 2007) instead of your Exchange server 2007.
i have Server 2008 X64 but its blocking my from installing exchange server 2003 and 2008. either one i try i get the error saying it's not compatible.
i find this extremely weird? is their anyway around this?
ive set up Exchange 2007 on WS2008. I have a domain "fasterfasterfaster.net"
its nameservers are changed correctly and is pointing to the right IP address including the @ and CNAME records.
the mx record is set to mail.fasterfasterfaster.net
my DC is called "faster.local"
in the org configuration > hub transport, I have accepted domains:
fasterfasterfaster.net Authoritative
mail.fasterfasterfaster.net Authoritative
faster.local Authoritative
also in the org config, there is an internet send connector. its FQDN is mail.fasterfasterfaster.net.
for the Server config > hub transport:
Client is enabled with the FQDN: mail.fasterfasterfaster.net and permission groups enabled:
Anonymous, exchange users, exchange servers and legacy exchange servers
the Default is enabled with its FQDN to machineName.faster.local and same permission groups as above.
problem is, I am unable to recieve any emails (no bouncebacks)
And when I send email from an exchange account, the recipient recieves it from account@faster.local
I have a client with SBS 2003 and exchange. They had a bad HDD (it held the exchange .edb and .stm files).
I installed the new HDD, configured Exchange to use the new HDD for the files but I did not mount it when it was done because I was in a rush.
I came back into their office first thing in the morning and mounted the volume. However, they did not get any emails during the night.
My question is: The emails that were sent to them, are they gone forever? Did they get bounced back to their senders? If not, can they be recovered?
I have an exchange 2003 server. You can access OWA via the browser by using the IP address of the line the server sits on.

I'm currently with 1and1 - obviously they suck - no need to belabor that here. I've been resisting a hosting switch, but the outages are more and more frequent, and my website is my livlihood. Need recommendations for web/MySql hosting and also hosting for a single Exchange account. Does not have to be the same company. Price is not a huge issue - I'm willing to pay for quality. Requirements are basic; about 3-5 GB of file storage, SQL 4 and 5, linux server. Shared server is fine. Any recommendations? Don't really trust the "review" sites.
Some kind of moving assistance/support would be GREAT. I've managed to muddle through and set all this stuff up over the years, but am not at all confident of my ability to move it all without screwing up. Includes 3 active databases, several sites, SSL cert (currently purchased through 1&1 but it looks like they farmed it out to geotrust), and exchange mailbox.
This has been a topic that has been slowly developing without too much in the way of discussion. Exchange has been the killer email solution now for years - it's integration with Outlook, its sleek webmail and support for mobile devices and push email is almost unbeatable. THe only problem is your stuck in a windows environment and have killer licensing costs associated with the priveledge of using it.
We run a web hosting service down here in New Zealand where the market isn't quite as cut throat as in places like the US and that is reflected in prices. Hosted exchange accounts sit around $30NZ per month per email inbox, quite high considering our median income is around $30,000NZ.
I think this has priced the service out of the rich of small/medium sized businesses and as a result many people here don't know of or use the features which could radically improve their email experience.
<< removed >> after days of searching I came across Smartermail and its support for syncml. << removed >>
From what I see, it seems that the collaboration and integration exchange has such as in calendar/contacts/tasks is becoming standardized accross mail servers.

Anyone having difficulties getting this to work? Can't seem to get mail to sync even after the config says everything should be working.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi was pinged a few times asking why dont we support unlimited Exchange Mailbox where as lots of providers do.
I took the question to our Product team and here is what they shared with me, which i thought to extend to my friends here...
1. The primary reason for not having an unlimited mailbox size is the possibility of runaway mailbox growth. There are several scenarios, such as a Denial of Service attack, an auto-reply rule storm, a runaway automated process, or some other unforeseen event that can generate hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of email addresses to a single mailbox (or group of mailboxes), having it grow to astronomical proportions (100’s of gigabytes) in a very short time. We have seen this happen multiple times that we come in to help clean up. A runaway email box (or boxes) can quickly and easily expand to consume all of the available storage and resources of the mailbox server, and severely cripple availability for all other users of the system. (This impacts ALL customers on the hosted environment)
2. Secondarily, if we allow unlimited mailbox growth and the customer is charged for storage, this can result in an unexpectedly large bill.
3. Some providers who claim to offer “unlimited” mailbox size are actually offering an “arbitrary maximum” mailbox size. If you dig into their SLAs they state that there is a “functional limit”, which they do not define, and they also state that mailboxes should not be used as archives, which implies that if/when users reach this undefined functional limit, older items are the ones that get deleted/purged. So, none of our competitors actually offer unlimited mailboxes, just undefined, arbitrary mailbox limits.
4. As an Exchange mailbox gets larger, it becomes more and more difficult for a user to manage and use. This issue applies regardless of server configurations or resources – it is a matter of the complexity of having the Outlook client manage multiple gigabytes of mailbox storage and the corresponding tens or hundreds of thousands of individual messages.
