I had written before about how to connect to an Exchange 2010 server from a Windows PowerShell, read here. The same can be done for Lync Server as well.
The commands are pretty much the same as for Exchange 2010.
Disable Auto Mapping Of Mailboxes In Exchange 2010 SP2
One of the features introduced in Exchange 2010 SP1 which had mixed response was the auto mapping of mailboxes in Outlook, to which the user had full access to. Though it is a good feature, there was no control over it and some admins found it very frustrating, especially the ones that had users with too many shared mailboxes.
Microsoft has listened to the customer feedback and have put a parameter that can control the auto mapping.
Integrate Lync 2010 With Exchange 2010 OWA
I am sure that there are a number of articles explaining the process of integrating Lync 2010 with Exchange 2010 OWA, as Lync has been around for a while. I have started playing with Lync only very recently and hence this is more of a bookmark for me when I am at a customer site.
There are a number of steps to be done, in the proper order to make the integration a success.
Rollback Lync Server 2010 Forest Prep
I got a phone call from a customer who wanted to know whether it was possible to rollback forest preparation for Lync Server 2010. They only had an approved change request for the schema upgrade, but the engineer got carried away and did the forest prep too. Their reporting tool started emailing the creation of all the universal groups related to Lync.
Configure Autodiscover Site Scope In Exchange 2010
I was asked today about the steps to configure autodiscover site scope and I was surprised to find out that I hadn’t written about it before. I was thinking of giving a link to the article, but I have to write it first. So, here it goes.
Configuring site scope for autodiscover comes in only if you have multiple sites with clients connecting, say a company which spreads across the country or a global company with branches in many countries. Whatever the scenario is, the intention is to get Outlook 2007+ clients to pick up a local or closest CAS server as the SCP endpoint.

OWA Mini In Exchange 2010 SP2…
Exchange 2010 SP2 brings a lightweight browser based client, called OWA (Outlook Web App) Mini and is designed to be used in mobile phones.
It is pretty much like the OMA in Exchange 2003. You can access the OWA Mini by appending /oma at the end of your OWA url. For example, my OWA url is https://mail.howexchangeworks.com/owa and hence my OWA Mini url will be https://mail.howexchangeworks.com/owa/oma.
A user must use the full url to access OWA mini. Once logged in, it gives a simple html page. Continue Reading…
