We have migrated all of our e-mail accounts to Office 365. I can manage the Exchange attributes using one of my old exchange servers, however I have seen that there are one or more tools that add Office 365 tabs to the properties pages of the User object in Active Directory. Anyone have any idea where I can find that tool?

Background:

We are starting a migration from an internally hosted Exchange 2003 environment to Office 365. In order to do this the vender setup a hybrid server that will use Exchange 2010 since 2003 can migrate to 2010 by cannot migrate to office 365.

We have two firewalls with a DMZ. The hybrid server was initially going to be in the DMZ, however the Swiss cheese set of ports that needed to be opened so it could talk to the domain was too much of a risk so it was moved inside. I do not administer the firewalls.

It must have an external IP address so they can connect to the server. A NAT has been established in the external firewall for this. The hybrid server was originally configured to use the NAT address.

Since we moved it from the DMZ I need to setup a reverse proxy so that any request that is received on the external interface and passed by the firewall will be received by the proxy will be forwarded to the hybrid server IP address. The ports are restricted by the firewall to only include web and SMTP protocols.

I did find several articles for using Application Request Routing on Windows 2012, however that looks like it is only for http and https.

I can use any version of Windows server 2003 and up. The current install is Windows server 2012 but since it is a VM and takes about 10 minutes to build a new one it does not matter to me if another version of Windows server would work better.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to set this up?

I am trying to find information about Server 2012 CALs. Do I need a CAL for each employee that can access the server, or only one for each employee that will access the server concurrently?

For example, say we have a team of 50 people that will be accessing 8 servers using per seat CALs. At any given time of the day only 10 of those people would be accessing those servers. Do I need 10 CALs or 50?

Links to the answers would be greatly appreciated.

I am filing a petition in Kitsap District Court to request modification of a court order. Do I need to request a hearing or will the judge decide in chambers? If I need to schedule a hearing, where do I find the form?

I have read a number of postings that indicate front wheel drive cars are not suitable as police cars. Why is that?

I need to test several servers to verify that the SMTP service is accepting connections on port 25. I prefer to do this using a VBScript. I would also prefer to do this without the need for commercial software. I am well versed in VBScript and not easily stumped, however I am at wits end. Any help is appreciated.

Since this script is for work and licensing compliance is VERY important here, hacking the MS Winsock control included with VS is not a viable option. Any other ideas would be great.

You are in a room. There are two doors leading out of this room. One door leads to certain death, the other to a great life. There are two people in the room; they both know which door is which. One person always lies, the other always tells the truth. You do not know which one is which. You can ask one question to one of them. What question do you ask to ensure you choose the door that leads to a great life?
