Is it possible to extract email signatures in use in an exchange environment from all mailboxes ? I was thinking it could be given an org wide signature can be set.
If its not possible is it possible to flag emails that meet a particular set of conditions like have a signature that contains a phrase ?
Thanks
If you have an on-prem Exchange environment, you can get the mailbox signature for a mailbox with the Get-MailboxMessageConfiguration command and set the mailbox signature with the Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration. This is only the signature available through the webmail (Outlook on the web) though.
The signature used in the desktop Outlook is saved locally in the user profile and not on Exchange itself.
I would recommend a third party solution for an on-prem solution. There are multiple providers of such services available. CodeTwo is one example of a provider that offers such solutions.
If you are running Exchange Online, it's possible to create organization wide signatures and disclaimers: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/setup/create-signatures-and-disclaimers?view=o365-worldwide

I have a requirement where I need to configure my CRM Online with an Exchange Server which is hosted out of my organization's Office 365 to sync Emails for Incoming and Outgoing profiles.
Of the steps, I understand that I need to setup and Email Server Profile of type Exchange that has Server Location pointing to the Exchange Server which I have been using currently. However, I get an error saying that the configuration is invalid and I don't get to save the Incoming and Outgoing server locations. Also, do I need authentication for the same? If yes, of whom should it be? The current Incoming and Outgoing is set to the URL. (Without '/EWS/Exchange.asmx' which is used by default for hosting it on O365.
Any help / links to blogs that effectively explain this would really help.
Thanks !
Supported email service configurations for server-side synchronization
CRM Online only supports Server Side Synchronization with:
Exchange Online in the same tenant in Office365 (mail, tasks, etc.)
Gmail or Yahoo! Mail via POP3/SMTP (mail only)
Anything else is not (yet1) supported.
1 Online to On-Premise SSS is supposed to become supported at some point in the future
There are three ways of handling email processing in CRM:
Server-side synchronization
CRM for Outlook
Email Router
Server-side synchronization does not support hybrid deployments (e.g. CRM Online with Exchange On-premise), as Alex mentions.
I suggest looking into the Email Router. You install it on a machine which is then responsible for synchronizing email messages between CRM and Exchange. For an in-depth explanaion, see Email Router Demystified.
If you also need to synchronize Outlook contacts, tasks and appointments have a look at CRM for Outlook.
Does Outlook2010/2013interface with anything other than IMAP or Pop3? If so how? While manual configuration of imap works, the autodiscover wizard is turning up nothing. I have the cname on my 1and1.com pointed to www.mydomain.us. The manual setup for Outlook.com or compatible prompts for a server. Is that supposed to be the same server as specified for the imap?
I am hoping that setup for Outlook clients on pc and laptops is as seamless as it is when the pc/laptop is on a LAN. Can Outlook Anywhere (over https/rpc) be used? If so, how does one obtain the proxy server names and settings?
When it is all setup will the enduser experiance emulate that of Outlook and Exchange 2010 in regards to calender sharing and contacts?
Thankyou for any insight.
I don't know what 1and1.com offers, however you can only use OutlookAnywhere (RPC-over-HTTP) with Exchange 2003-2013.
Outlook 2003-2013 can use IMAP, POP, Exchange MAPI (RPC). With add-ons you may be able to support other protocols, but I've never used any.
For autodiscover to work, you'll usually need Exchange although there are some ways to generate the autodiscover XML without Exchange. Outlook 2010-13 (and I think 2007 too) can try guess the settings for IMAP/POP settings based on your email address, but the server would have to use pretty standard hostnames and ports for it to guess correctly.
IMAP and POP only support email message types and will not sync contacts and calendars between the server and the Outlook client, not natively anyway.
I'm using Exchange Web Services Managed API 1.0 to access the Exchange servers (2007) in my organization. I need to iterate over all the mailboxes on a given server. I haven't seen a way to get the list of mailboxes defined for a given Exchange server. I have been able to use the AutoDiscover service to find the address of a hub server for a specific mailbox, but I'm interested in getting a list of all mailboxes. Can someone point me in the right direction?
If your problem is not yet solved I would you recommend use just pure LDAP queries instead of Exchange Web Services. The information which you need are saved in homeMDB, msExchHomeServerName and probably homeMTA Active Directory attributes. You can modify LDAP query from http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Creating_a_list_of_Users_and_their_email_addresses_in_Exchange_2000_2.html or http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125087(EXCHG.65).aspx to receive information which you need.
I'm Creating a workflow that needs to send the users an email on set events. This I don't have a problem with. However can someone please confirm if you need the local windows SMTP service installed or if I can use another method for it to send the emails.
UPDATE
Ok I've just read about the E-mail Router, just need to find out where it is, and how to get to the configuration settings.
UPDATE
Update 2
Right, Iv'e looked into it and the e-mail router configuration is not used on this CRM set-up, it used an Outlook Add-in which I cant find a lot of into on.
However it appears to work flawlessly.
end update 2
Thanks
AFAIK, Microsoft CRM uses Exchange server to send out emails. Haven't you configured this during setup?
You are right that the Email Router is the way to enable outbound emails from Dynamics CRM. If you haven't done so already, I strongly encourage you to download the Dynamics CRM Implementation Guide. You can jump right to the section called "Planning e-mail integration" to read about it.
What you need to do is configure the e-mail router to operate with a POP3/SMTP server. You can use Windows Server's SMTP service for that. You can use almost any service - i have configured it to work with my gmail account, for instance.
Here are three good articles that you can read to learn more about the e-mail router.
What's New in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 E-Mail Integration
Dynamics CRM 4.0 E-mail Integration Overview
Microsoft Dynamics CRM: How to configure the On-premise and Online E-mail Router in different deployment scenarios
Now when you configure an email from a workflow, CRM will automatically forward it out through the router to your SMTP email account.
It looks like there are at least two options, one which uses the SMTP or exchange. And another which is an outlook plugin. Which syncs the emails with the owners outlook and then sends out the emails.
EDIT
So the two options which both work are:
Email Router - This appears to be the standard and can use various email servers
Outlook add-in - This sends email based on the owner/email settings in the CRM record.
This works with any email CRM wants to send, and even works with workflows.
I've not got to the bottom of why the outlook add-in has been used at this site, however the workflow functions appear to run without problem, and seamlessly to the owner/user.

I'm working at a client site, and connect to their Exchange 2000 server via web mail. I have Outlook 2007 running as well connected to my companies Exchange 2007 over HTTP.
Is there any way to connect to the client's Exchange 2000 server using anything other than web mail? Ideally, Outlook 2007 would be able to do it, but I don't think that is possible. POP isn't an option, because I need calendaring.
Thanks,
Zach
Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 can only connect to one Exchange server per profile. To get this capability, you can upgrade to Outlook 2010. Outlook 2010 will connect to multiple Exchange servers in a single profile with no problem.
As a consultant, I have the need to connect to multiple email accounts all the time--my current profile is configured to connect to my corporate Exchange server, a client's Exchange server, two different Office 365 (Exchange Online) accounts, two different Google Apps accounts, and a Hotmail account. I love being able to easily navigate among all the different email accounts I regularly use via the native Outlook 2010 UI; I could never go back to multiple browser windows and Outlook profiles!
[I realize this is a 'stale' question, but I noticed it popped up in a search on the topic so I'm posting this answer as this information isn't reflected in any of the earlier answers.]
You can always use more than one Outlook profile.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011471581033.aspx
There is a way of opening 2 Outlook instances running 2 different profiles.
Please see this link -> http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Feature/136036,server-101-access-multiple-exchange-servers-with-outlook.aspx
I dont think outlook will allow more than 1 exchange server connection. One option would be using another email clients like thunderbird to connect to the other exchange server [I haven't tried it though]. In case you need to know how to configure thnderbird to connect to exchange server, here is a link.
You can create multiple profiles in Outlook. You won't be able to open them all at the same time, but you can set outlook to ask you whihc profile to open when you start it.
this is an old link, but the process is essentially the same if dealing with 2003 or 2007.

With Exchange 2000, external access is only possible using Outlook Web Access or POP/IMAP. With Exchange 2003 and 2007 you can connect using the outlook client using RPC, but not in 2000.
On a side, you can only have 1 Exchange connection in outlook, so you would have to use multiple profiles.
Apple's Mail Client will connect to any number of Exchange servers at a time. I believe that the Open Source Evolution mail client will similarly do so.
