Thanks for sharing your insightful thoughts and suggestions – very helpful, and appreciated indeed.

On a related note, recently we needed a quick and efficient way to find out which accounts were OWA enabled (for an internal security audit) so we asked our on-site MS consultant and he recommended using the Gold Finger from Paramount Defenses Inc.

Gold Finger pleasantly surprised us because not only was it endorsed by Microsoft but also 100% FREE and loaded with almost 250 useful Active Directory security, Exchange and ACL management reports. BTW, you can download it for free from http://goldfinger.paramountdefenses.com

In particular, it has over 60 inbuilt Exchange reports, including OWA and MAPI enabled accounts. For a complete list of reports, checkout http://www.paramountdefenses.com/goldfinger_security_reports_exchange_management.php

Thought I’d share this with you incase it could help you too, especially if you need a free way to generate Exchange and AD security reports.

Thanks again, and looking forward to your next post.

Best wishes,
Jonathan
