I have Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 SP1 R2
and
Exchange Server 2010 on Windows Server 2008
Can i joining these servers together, Exchange Server with this Active Directory Domain
or that will make a problems and what is the better ?
Integrating Active Directory into your Exchange Infrastructure gives you a considerable options and flexibity because active Directory and Exchange work well together.
As stated by Jaap Wesselius:
When you separate a network into multiple physical locations,
connected with “slow” links and separated into multiple IP subnets,
you create “sites,” in Active Directory terms.Like for example office
located in Germany with an IP subnet of 10.10.0.0/16. There might be a
branch office located in Bulguria with an IP subnet of 10.11.0.0/16.
Both locations have their own Active Directory DC, and handle client
authentication in their own subnet. Active Directory site links
control replication traffic between sites. Clients in each site use
DNS to find services such as DCs in their own site, thus preventing
the use of services over the WAN link.
Exchange Server 2010 uses Active Directory sites for routing messages
between sites. Using the same example of the Exchange Server 2010 Hub
Transport Server in Germany and Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport
Server in Bulguria, the IP Site Links in Active Directory would route
messages from Germany to Bulguria.
Transport and Routing:-With Exchange Server 2010, you can implement
cross-premises message routing. In a mixed hosting environment,
Exchange Server 2010 can route messages from the datacenter to the
on-premises environment with full transparency. To create a highly
available and reliable routing model Active directory helps with the
formulation with exchange server.
Unified Messaging:-The Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging Server
Role can integrate a telephone system like a private automatic branch
exchange, or PABX, with the Exchange Server messaging environment.
This lets you offer Outlook Voice Access.
Thus beacuse of this reason Both will work well together.

I'm looking into a potential integration solution that would use BizTalk 2013 R2 to interact with a SharePoint Online using the Client Side Object Model. However, I want to keep security in mind and so I'm trying to verify that the WSS adapter supports HTTPS. I can't find anywhere in the documentation that states this explicitly, and it will take some effort before I'm capable of testing it out.
Is it sufficient to simply use an https URL with port 443 to configure the WSS adapter to use HTTPS?
What Is the Windows SharePoint Services Adapter?
Permissions to Windows SharePoint Services files, lists, and document libraries are restricted using Windows SharePoint Services security. The messages are sent from Windows SharePoint Services directly into BizTalk Server. The communication between the adapter runtime and the Web service is done over HTTP or HTTPS.
The adapter assumes that the BTSharePointAdapterWS Web service is using the same HTTP scheme (HTTP or HTTPS) as the Windows SharePoint Services site. This means that the adapter will use HTTPS to communicate with the BTSSharePointAdapterWS Web service when the Windows SharePoint Services Site is created on a secure IIS Web site, or it will use HTTP to communicate with the BTSharePointAdapterWS Web service when the Windows SharePoint Services site is created on an IIS Web site without a server certificate.
(Bolding added for emphasis).
Configure the SharePoint Site URL to have https:// and you should not have to specify the port.
I got a web DMZ server, that hosts an "Extranet" ASP.NET application. I want that users should authenticate to this application using the same user and password that they use on their Windows at work. (we are using Active Directory)
I want to know what the best way is -the most secure way - to connect from the DMZ web server to the Active Directory.
For now I saw two possibilities:
- RODC
- LDAP Over SSL (LDAPS)
Are there any other option you recommend? What other options should I consider? Any limitation, or potential problems with any of those solution?
It exist a Microsoft document talking about that :
Active Directory Domain Services in the Perimeter Network (Windows Server 2008)
You can also take inspiration from Microsoft consideration on installing an Exchange Front-end computer into a DMZ

I am working on a large application in team environment. We use to Team Foundation Server to control source code with VS2010.We are using LAN to connect TFS which works great in an small office but now we need to connect TFS through Internet.
What actually I want to know that we have many developers they reside in different location worldwide. We want to download there work directly in the TFS server through Internet like LAN. We will have also connect LAN users who work on this application and want to connect both kind of users parallel.
Note: WE DON'T WANT TO USE VPN.
Is there any possibility to do this kind of work in TFS? Any Help will be appreciated.
You can definately expose TFS over the internet. TFS is basically a set of web services hosted in IIS, just make your server internet-visible and you're set.
There are some security best practices you probably want to consider though:
1) You should configure an SSL cert in IIS and connect to TFS using HTTPS (an option when connecting in VS).
2) You should place your SQL Server database on a separate machine that is not directly exposed to the internet (but is visible to the Application Tier server). SSRS should reside on the AT server, the DB and SSAS should be on the Data Tier server.
I'm trying to understand how to create CRM Organization on Load Balancing network.
I've three web servers (Web01, Web 02, Web03); three application servers (App01, App02, App03) and a SQL Server (SQL01). I already have Load Balancer setup and there is already one organizaiton setup by someone on all web servers. This organization is Internet Facing. Now I want to create one more Organization on same set of Web Servers. Can anyone please help me understand how to setup new Organization on Load Balancer in this scenario?
An important point to know is that there is a difference between a CRM deployment, and the organizations deployed.
The deployment consist of one or more CRM Server, and a SQL Server that can be clustered. A different server can be used as ReportServer and an Exchange Server can be configured as the email router.
Once the servers are deployed, one or many organizations can be configured using the CRM Deployment manager, on one of the front-end CRM Server. All the front-end (load balanced) server can be used to access any organizations configured in the deployment, based on the current user's credentials. When configuring the organization, the Report Server that should be used is assigned to the organization.
Also, if you are using IFD (Internet Facing Deployment), every organizations should have their own DNS entry (orgId.theprefixchoosen.mydomain.intra) that is pointing to the load balancer's IP address, so that CRM can route the users to the appropriate organization. More can be found in Microsoft's documents on configuring IFD.
Creating the new org is no different that normal. You would do this via Deployment Manager on 1 of the servers. This will basically create the needed SQL DB and associated ocnfig entries. To get the IFD portion working, you will also potentially need to add DNS entries to route traffic for that new orgname to your servers.
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.
