I'm getting the question quite often now about how to get an Ericsson device to successfully authenticate through ISA 2006 for ActiveSync.
The Problem: When we connect with an Ericsson device through ISA 2006 for ActiveSync we’re trying to use Forms-Based authentication instead of Basic and the authentication will fail. A Windows Mobile device will automatically perform a fall-back to Basic authentication and can then successfully authenticate but some other devices, for example an Ericsson device won’t automatically fall-back to Basic authentication.
Solution 1: Create a new web listener that only will use Basic authentication and then publish active sync to use that web listener.
Solution 2: Change the user agent mapping to get a device with the User Agent “SonyEricsson” to use Basic authentication instead of Forms-Based authentication.
1. Copy the “edit-user-agent.vbs” to the ISA 2006 server.
2. Open a command prompt and run the script: cscript edit-user-agent.vbs
3. Restart the firewall service

Here's how you can use the Exchange management shell to bulk create mail contacts based on a CSV file.Create a CSV file with the following colums:
displayName,FirstName,LastName,Emailaddress
(If you have Swedish characters in the CSV file you have to save the file in UTF8.)
Use the following shell command to import and create the contacts based on the CSV file:
Import-Csv contacts.csv | ForEach { New-MailContact -Name $_.displayName -Firstname $_.Firstname -Lastname $_.Lastname -ExternalEmailAddress $_.Emailaddress -OrganizationalUnit "MyDomain.com/Contacts" }
For a complete list of parameters that you can use to create mail-enabled contacts go to:

The system messages are stored in Exchsrvr\bin\MDBSZ.dll
To be able to edit this file you can download RLTOOLS.exe from:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/RLTOOLS.EXE
(Included in this toolkit you’ll fin a tool called RLQuikEd.exe that will allow you to open and edit the dll.)
MDBSZ.dll is replaced in service packs so after upgrading the server you will need to make the changes again.
Changing the MDBSZ.dll is NOT supported by MS PSS.
But if you contract MCS to do the changes for you, the MCS will support the changes (Not PSS)You can also use Exchange Quota Message Service to do generate custom quota messages for users on Exchange server without editing DLLs

I've seen a loot of questions in different newsgroups about how to clean
SMTP queues from a spam attack.
The easiest way to do this is to use the Advanced Queuing
Administration Command Line Interface tool (aqadmcli.exe)
Run aqadmcli.exe from a command line with the following syntax to delete all messages from all queues:
setserver "Servername"
delmsg flags=all
Run aqadmcli.exe from a command line with the following syntax to delete all messages from a specific sender address:
setserver "Servername"
delmsg flags=sender,sender=sender@domain_name.com
You can download aqadmcli.exe from:
