Remove specific emails from Inbox at MS Exchange server.

well, you know me, i feel sorry for you, i know you wouldn't like me to write about bill gate's shits but i have no choice, i have to dump it somewhere...well, yesterday an acting Director at our office, by mistake sent an email to almost all technical team leads with attachment that had salaries of all employees, even i received it :p

soon after his email, he realized the bomb he exploded has started effecting!

He ran to my team lead and asked to clear this shit, anyhow, i was initially reluctant, even i told my team lead, that if it was Linux Mail Server, i would have done it... but MS Exchange NOWAY ;) anyhow later just to give it a try i started research and found a very nice article based on (EXMERGE - that is built by MS as a part of Exchange toolkit) that help me to accomplish the task, i success fully deleted that emails from all inbox at Exchange server.

well, well, well, i feel regretted when do blogging about MS shits, but you know you cannot avoid it!

We were facing an idiot issue with our outlook contact book, when we created new email accounts they were not updating in outlook's contact book, another issue that i saw was, when i tried to download fresh contact book in outlook, it gave me error something "an object not found...blah blah" so here is the solution.

Symptoms:

1. you cannot see new email accounts in outlook contact book.
2. when you refresh/download new contact book at outlook, it gives you error.

Cause:

you "offline address list" in exchange is not properly configured.

Solution:

1. open Exchange System Manager
2. open "Recipients" tab.
3. click on "Offline Address List"
4. under right pane, you will see an object "Offline Address List" right click on it and select "Properties".
5. under General tab, click on "add" navigate in newly open window and select "Global Address List"
6. click OK.
