CentralUniSent for MS Exchange 2007


Current version: 1.0.0.6



Purpose

Suppose that Outlook user John Doe has access to his personal mailbox and also has right to send as additional mailboxes (usually "Info" <info@company.com>, "Sales" <sales@company.com> etc.) on Exchange server. When he sends an e-mail from these mailboxes the message goes into his personal mailbox Sent items folder. 
CentralUniSent utility ensures that the message sent with the non-personal From address will be moved to the Sent Items folder of the mailbox the message was sent from.
Also you can easily see who was the original author of the message. 

The application is an Exchange store event sink. 



Benefits

- The application is server-centric, so you do not need to install any extra software on the client side.
- You can enable/disable moving of Sent items for each mailbox individually via CentralUniSent2007Setup.exe user interface. 



Installation

Review these articles: 
Send On Behalf and Send As at http://www.shudnow.net/2007/08/12/send-on-behalf-and-send-as/
   
On your Exchange 2007 Server computer:

1. Create a new mailbox-enabled user account and make sure it's mailbox alias is CUSTEST1. 
2. Create a new mailbox-enabled user account and make sure it's mailbox alias is CUSTEST2.
You should create these accounts for test purposes only, so you can delete them after you satisfy yourself with the fact that the application is actually works.
3. Run Exchange Management Console. Navigate to Recipient Configuration > Mailbox and select CUSTEST2, right-click and select Properties. Select the "MailFlow Setting" tab. Select "Delivery Options" in the list and click the Properties button. Click "Add..." button and add CUSTEST1. Click "OK" to close the "Delivery Options" dialog. Click "OK" to close the account properties dialog. 
4. Create or select another mailbox-enabled user account (let's name it "CUAdmin") that is a member of the Domain Admins and Domain Users security groups. That account must have full permissions on the all mailbox stores. Open Exchange Management Shell and execute
    Get-MailboxDatabase | add-adpermission -user CUAdmin -accessRights GenericAll 
Log on as CUAdmin to your Exchange 2007 Server computer. 
5. Create C:\Program Files\CentralUniSent\ directory. Download CentralUniSent2007-Demo.zip archive file to C:\Program Files\CentralUniSent\ directory and extract all files.
6. Run C:\Program Files\CentralUniSent\CentralUniSent2007Setup.exe. Click "Install" button in "COM+ object" frame. 
7. Click "Check All" button in "Mailbox stores" frame. Click "Change" button. Make sure that "Status: started." string appears in the bottom left corner. 
8. Navigate to "Mailboxes" frame. Select CUSTEST1 mailbox in the list and check it. Click "Change" button. Make sure that yellow arrow appears before CUSTEST1 in "Display Name" column. Also note that red-crossed arrow sign is before CUSTEST2.
9. Click "Exit" button. 



Testing

1. Using Outlook, open CUSTEST1 mailbox. Make sure that Cached Exchange Mode is on. Create a message and enable the From: field. Populate the From: field with CUSTEST2 and To: field with CUSTEST1. Place something like "CentralUniSent test 1" to the Subject line and send the message. Navigate to Sent items folder. The message you've just sent will disappear in a few seconds.
2. Using Outlook, open CUSTEST2 mailbox. Navigate to Sent items folder. The message that has been sent in the previos step is here. (Outlook 2003 and earlier) Open View menu. Select Arrange By > Current View > Customize Current View... (Outlook 2007) Open View menu. Select Current View > Customize Current View... Click Fields... button. Select All document fields from the list on bottom left corner of the form. Select Author field in the Available fields: list and press Add button. Click OK button to close Show Fields window. Click OK button to close View Summary window. Author column will be populated with CUSTEST1, as CUSTEST1 is the original author of this message.
