Glad I'm not alone speckytecky. Although we are Windows 7 with Serve 2008R2, it was the fact that some of our desktops suddenly displayed proxy settings from 2/3 years ago that got me travelling down this road.

Thanks ITGuru. There is nothing there in Windows 7 but I have found an article that seems to say if I upgrade to Windows 8 then I will be able to do it. That seems ridiculous or am I wrong?

I am having problems with ie11 proxy settings and when I look for them in group policy they are missing. I have sought advice via the internet, Microsoft support pages and anywhere I can. I have checked both domain computers and servers as well as standalone pcs at home and I cannot find the 'Maintenance' settings. Any ideas anyone? Thanks PaulO

We have been using CodeTwo ExchangeSync for a good few years and it does exactly what we want, that is -> Merges two calendars from a one mailbox called Calendars into every users default Outlook calendar. The users do not need to do anything and if they accidently delete an event CodeTwo ExchangeSync replaces it. Now we are thinks about moving to Office 365 and I would like to know if there is anything within it that comes close to replicating the above facilities. Many Thanks

Thanks for putting me straight on the Google drive visibility CyberNerd. Although that solution is only 12 months old and before that you had to pay. Initial investigation (relatively quick check) seems to show it might be a better solution than Microsoft. 🙄 Has anyone any detailed experience of the tool suggested by 'Winner' for mapping network drives to OneDrive?

We are starting to look at using O365 but the restriction of having to put OneDrive on the local drive is causing problems. OneDrive cannot handle Roaming Profiles and although there are workarounds they do appear to require Internet access to be available (no off-line working) As for 100% visibility of users drives, while Microsoft indicate that it is not a problem for OneDrive (I have yet to confirm that fact) the Google 'SuperAdmin' can only see that that has been 'shared' in GoogleDrive (unless latest updates have resolved the issue)

We purchased a number of Celcus Soundbars at £30 from Sainsburys. Mains powered with Bluetooth, 3.5mm Jack and Phono connections these have be received well by staff.

Thanks Geoff. I've had a look at MXToolbox before and apart from the 'dmarc' record and website certificate (hosted by others) there are no errors. I'm not sure about the importance of 'Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner' from what I've read and am not certain what to do to correct it' Regards, PaulO

Our internal Exchange 2010 email server has been sending emails for 5 or so years with no real problems. The domain name is registered with EXA Networks. Even when we changed our ISP from EXA Networks to British Telecom earlier in the year there were no real problems, until now. We are getting emails bounced back from recipients with different ISPs but with the same error message. "451 4.4.0 primary target ip address responded with 554" Our domain name is "halstead-school.org.uk", Our MX record is reported by ns1.exa-networks.co.uk as mx.exa-networks.co.uk 82.2xx.x.4 Our Reverse LookUp is reported by ns21.bt.net as host81-14x-xx-xx7.in-addr.btopenworld.com 81.14x.xx.xx7 As the emails have been working I'm not certain what needs to be done to resolve the situation Regards, PaulO

Thanks fiza, Google Vault gives access but it wasn't quite what I was expecting ie folders and files but at least there is some access. It seems to me that provided you know what you're looking for you should be OK. Regards, Paul

Am I missing something here? Presently we have an in-house Windows domain which means that, should there be a need, all areas of data storage are accessible for auditing. This is regardless of what users may setup within their own folders / mailboxes. It appears to me that with Google Drive this will no longer be the case. Unless a user takes steps to provide share permission anything stored within 'My Drive' will be hidden and inaccessible for auditing.

Thanks IanT. I have been persevering with the problem and am finally getting the correct results. I had created the 4 elements required for an ABP, created the ABP and assigned the ABP to a user but when I connected to Exchange as that user and opened the address book the GAL only contained the user email address. I don't know if in my various attempts I gave the system the 'proverbial kick' or was initially too impatient or having run the 'new-globaladdresslist' cmdlet failed to then run the 'update-globaladdresslist' cmdlet but I am now able to achieve the result I require.

We are running Exchange 2010 SP3 on a single server and I wish to create a segmented GAL with associated Address Book Policy. However, no matter what combination of Powershell cmdlets I use, when I open the address book in a relevant user Outlook session the GAL only contains the user. The included ABP address list does contain the correctly filtered addresses. Can anyone give me some pointers as to where I am or what is going wrong. Many Thanks

Once again, many thanks. I'll see how it goes.

So, finally, can the 'CN=First Administrative Group' go and what about the 'System Public Folders in Exchange 2010, can they go?
