can you get more info from the event log? Have you tried searching for something ghat you know exists? Index will always be indexing so it will add new items as new files etc... are added.

you want ha/ft so setup using a dc/gc, apps like exch cant function with a rodc, & given your scenario you dont need a rodc.

What issue you got with windows search?

AD is gone, so I would format and start fresh. If any data is on the server Files etc...back them up before formatting.

Yea, virtualise, least you have 2 dc although of the hardware fails you stuffed again unless there is some tolerance. I would charge by the hour for this job.

be careful you dont get the blame for this, but as you have no backups, it aint looking good. Whoever removed AD would have got a warning mentioning the consequences, they must have acknowleded that. Going to take some time to set it all up, with 60 pc's and a file server to permission may take a few days, but its all the other stuff that ad may have contained, from 3rd party apps, or maybe even exch. Groups/dl/certificates and what ever else may have been there.

a single dc, single forest, single domain, then when you dcpormo and remove there isnt anything left, running dcpromo again, did you create a new forest/domain with the same name?

What exactly is the issue? How many Dc, setup up, sites, dns integrated?

and for one student who has the issue; Get-mailbox |fl

What does get-addressbookpolicy | fl show

Is exch on a dedicated member server or on a GC? Been through this - Understanding Address Book Policies: Exchange 2010 Help

You can create a shared calendars but the notification alert may not work, what if you just send out a appointment to everyone of just send an email to a DL, maybe include a link to a shared calender.

A record is the preferred method, use ExchRCA to test.

you have the correct autodiscover records? Also, check the outlook providers and check.

Internal relay domain would do, but maybe you should host the Exch server for all 3 schools in on location or a DAG across all 3 schools. Confiure a resource deployment of Exch or configure OA for the other schools so they can connect to the main Exch server. Redeuce some costs for hardware required for all 3 schools.

are you using address book policies or are you creating a address list? If address list, is thta included in the OAB if using cache mode? Do you see it via OWA?

simply create an email address policy to do this.

Delete the local cache and test, or create a new MAPI profile.

Which Version of Exch? Have you tried creating a forward on the mailbox, only issue is, it will be for all email addressed for that mailbox.

You need to reapply the policy, it wont update the existing settings.

Wont effect Exch.

Sorry, I dont have much focus around Google, more MSFT, can you update your iOS to the latest and check. What is strange is that you can see via webmail and it still states that the message is in the Inbix however you can't see it. If you believe it's archiving, then can you see the message in the archive or not?

I'd be surprised, if you have any AV/Email filtering on the exchange server disable this and test. Same for the User's devices.

Depending on your financial constraints, you ideally don't want to expose the HUB/CAS to the Internet without a firewall, however, you can if you wisk and you can enable AntiSpam agents (Free) on the Exch server or purchase a product like FPE 2010.

Sorted? Same issue if you create a test mbx?
