Certificate Expiration Alerting

Hi folks,

Microsoft Lync Server and Microsoft Exchange Server utilize certificates to manage encryption and authentication. When certificates expire unexpectedly, network administrators are under pressure to resolve the problem quickly. Fortunately, most trusted Certificate Providers inform customers by email before certificates expire. But what happens when certificates are issued by an internal Microsoft Windows Certification Authority? If customers do not have a monitoring solution, such as Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, to provide status updates on certificate expirations, it is a real challenge to keep track of scheduled certificate expirations. The Certificate Expiration Alerter is a free tool that helps prevent unplanned certificate expirations.

A Move Mailbox operation fails between 2007 and 2010 with the error message "Unable to synchronize manifest"

Hi folks,

I'm migrating a customer to Exchange Server 2010 and in just a few mailboxes I was having a fail and the error message "Unable to synchronize manifest", and I found out that the customer used Quest a long time ago for an Active Directory/Exchange migration.

The long story short, is to solve this issue you can move the affected mailboxes to another mailbox on the same Exchange Server 2007 and afterwards the Move Request will work like a charm to your new Exchange Server 2010.
