Life, love and cows

to twose with a portuguese ascendent, I am sure they will recognise this blog post subject as one of those clicheed sentences onde sees everywhere as the translation of some film.
I guess my life is no different than one of those cliches. To be honest, it's quite embarrassing.. a 31 year old falls inlove with a 18 year old, and things go south. I mean, what's there to be surprised about? Even writing about it sounds stupid. Stupid or not, I was and still am inlove. and my biggest wish is to have died in one of our wild trips..

oabgen differential errors while installing exchange 2010/2007 into a 2003 organization

If you are sure everything is ok, public folders are replicated, servers have been changed in the receipient policies, lists have been upgraded, etc etc, you must create

'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters\OAL post full if diff fails'

DWORD, value 1

and update/rebuild the oab. It should be ok afterwards (verify by setting logging level to medium.
Remember to remove key afterwards.

How to set logging level?

Set-EventLogLevel -identity "MSExchangeSA\OAL Generator" -level medium

OAL Gen Error 9359

If it complains about Discovery Mailbox ONLY you can ignore it
