SERVER SIDE SOLUTION: Outlook Web Access 2003 does not work in Internet Explorer 10

When you want to view your Exchange 2003 e-mail via Outlook Web Access on Internet Explorer 10 you don’t see your e-mails but a black text instead:

exchweb/img/tf_Messages.xsltable-layout:fixed;width:100%;MessagesBKBMBfalseNonepercentImportancei4http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/x-priority-long1101width:13px;cursor:hand;text-align: center; Item Typestringhttp://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/outlookmessageclass1101width:20px;cursor:hand;text-align: center; FlagStatusi4http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/x109000031101width:20px;cursor:hand;text-align: center; Attachmentbooleanurn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment1101width:15px;cursor:hand;text-align: center; Fromstringhttp://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/sent_representing_name1001width:23%;cursor:hand;text-align: ;padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px; Subjectstringhttp://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/subject1001width:40%;cursor:hand;text-align: ;padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px; Receiveddateurn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived1001width:26%;cursor:hand;text-align: ;padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px; ddd M/d/yyyyh:mm ttSizei4http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/x0e0800031001width:11%;cursor:hand;text-align: right;padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px “http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x67aa000b” = false AND “DAV:isfolder” = falseurn:schemas:httpmail:datereceivedDESCdatebackground-color:buttonface

The solution is simple. Enable compatibility mode for the webpage (press alt to show the menu, look under tools).

If you want this done automatically for all your visitors you can also add a header on your IIS6 so that every viewer gets forced in Internet Explorer 8 compatibility mode. On your server open IIS manager, click the plus sign under default website and then select “Exchange” and right click and choose properties. Go to the TAB HTTP-HEADERS and add a customer header X-UA-Compatible with value IE=EmulateIE8.
IIS6-http-header

Now the browser receives this header and automatically uses compatibility mode.

Exchange: Name Could Not be Matched to a Name in the Address List

English: “Name Could Not be Matched to a Name in the Address List”
Dutch: “Naam niet gevonden in de adreslijst”

Outlook showed this error while setting up the mailbox profile.
The user could login in to OWA without issues. In my case it had nothing to do with the Global Address List or Offline Address book.
Seems some attributes on the user in Active Directory were missing. In Exchange console i disabled the mailbox and thus removing exchange attributes from the user. The mailbox them became disconnected, and next I connected the mailbox again to the same user.

After that everything worked! If you have multiple AD sites remember that the Domain Controllers need time to sync.

6to4 isatp tunnel problem windows VISTA & 7

The PC or laptop may appear to be very slow and CPU is at 100% most of the time. When you check in taskmanager (after selecting show processes from all users) 1 or more svchost.exe processes are hogging CPU. When you right click the svchost.exe and choose “go to service” you find oud that it is 1 of the following services:
– wudfsvc
– DcomLaunch
– PlugPLay

Open up a Command prompt (type cmd in the start – search field) and type in ipconfig to see if there a lot of tunnel adapters present. Normally you see only 1 or maximum 4 and then a local area network and perhaps a wireless adapter. If you have dozens of tunnel adapters, then this bug is effecting you.

Too many tunnel adapters in IPCONFIG
Too many tunnel adapters in IPCONFIG

To solve this execute the following:
Open up a Command prompt (CMD) but right click to run as administrator.
Type (without the quotes): netsh int isa set state disabled
Leave the command prompt open.
Now open up device manager, go to view and select “show hidden devices”.
In the device list, go to network adapters and disable the “Toredo tunneling interface” and the “6to4 adapter”.
To remove the large amount of tunnel adapters you can use this batch file, thanks to: Ryan Victory.
Remove tunnel adapters Batch file download link
You extract the content and run as administrator (right click) the 6to4remover.bat file from the folder that corresponds to you OS architecture (32 or 64 bit).
If you get a popup asking to accept license terms for devcon.exe, accept it. Maybe you then have to run as administrator it again to start. When it’s started it will remove all excess adapters.

After these actions are complete reboot your system. It should be back to normal.

Enable Remote Desktop Remotely with PSEXEC

Download PSTOOLS from microsoft. Unzip to an easy to access location.
Open a CMD command prompt, navigate to the PSTOOLS location.
Execute:

psexec \\machinename reg add "hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server" /f /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Machinename should be replaced with the computername, ideally you already have admin rights to this PC, for example you run this as the domain administrator. Otherwise the have to supply credentials using -u and -p options.
If you still can’t connect this is most likely the windows firewall.
Execute:
psexec \\machinename netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable
psexec \\machinename netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable
