After successful recovery, the software provides multiple options to convert, export or migrate EDB files. You can then use it as a generic company address (such as sales or help ). At first, they might look identical, with just different names both, shared mailbox and public folders can store all types of Outlook items, both can receive and send emails, both can be accessed by many users simultaneously etc. The Exchange administrator can mail-enable public folders. Programmed with advanced algorithms, the software supports recovery of both user's mailboxes and Public folders. Therefore Microsoft developed features in Office 365 such as public folders and shared mailbox.

The software performs accurate recovery of all emails, attachments, contacts, and other mailbox items from corrupt EDB files in a very short span of time. Microsoft Exchange Server is Microsofts email, calendaring, contact, scheduling and collaboration platform deployed on the Windows Server operating system for use within a business or larger enterprise. EDB corruption requires immediate fix as it can halt entire email communication of MS OutlookĮxchange Server Recovery is the best solution to fix all EDB file corruption issues effectively. Multiple reasons can cause EDB file corruption such as Exchange Server failure, software failure, interrupted network, JET errors, hard disk crash, etc. Open the folder in which the database transaction folders are saved. It can be in ‘C:Program FilesMicrosoftExchange ServerV14bin’. Each Exchange Server is running 12 databases. Open an elevated command prompt, navigate to the ‘bin’ folder in the directory where the Exchange server is installed. In this post, I will show steps to setup public folders in Exchange Server 2013.

The organization is running 2 Exchange 2016 Servers with a DAG configured. Public Folders have always been collaboration tool in Exchange environment. In this blog post, I would like to explain how to read and copy your own Database in the Application. This could be on any folder in the mailbox but I’m going to focus mainly on the calendar because that’s usually one of the common ones. Now one of the things that can be really useful in the Exchange Management Shell (EMS) is pushing out mailboxfolder permissions. PS C:>(Get-Mailbox -monitoring).count 44. Using PowerShell to manage mailbox folder permissions in Exchange Server 2010. EDB file corruption is quite common for Exchange users. If you need to know the total count of the health mailboxes, run the following command. Exchange Server stores the exact copy of MS Outlook mailbox in Exchange Database (EDB) files. The only permission that is provided to all users by default is the ability to view the Free/Busy information in other user’s calendars (this is AvailabilityOnly role). Microsoft Exchange Server is one of the most popular mail servers or email messaging system which preferably works with MS Outlook email application. By default, in Exchange and Office 365 organization users can’t view Outlook e-mails or calendar items of other users.

Killing Time 23/35

Detective Weaver/Belle French, Explicit

Summary: A Woven Beauty Law & Order-ish AU. Written for Writer’s Month 2019.

Chapter Summary: Belle and Weaver get a big break in the case, but find it tempered by the mountain of missing pieces.

Notes: For my August Writer's Month prompt: We’re all a little stronger than we think we are. I've barely read this over before posting, sorry for all the typos.

[AO3]  

We’re all a little stronger than we think we are.

Dr. Hopper’s parting words replayed in Belle’s mind as she walked the three blocks back to her office.

The last few days had been lighter than any since her work on the Branson case had begun. A weight had been lifted by her confession to both Archie and Ian, and the therapy session which she was just leaving had only added to it. Today, their topics focused on ways she could relax and control any future panic attacks, which she assumed she would probably need no matter how much she wanted to tell herself otherwise.

The weekend had been quiet and comfortable. She and Weaver had worked some on Saturday, but admittedly they were distracted by movies on TV and each other. Sunday, they’d gone for a walk in a nearby park, and by the time they got back to the apartment, she was ready to tear his jeans off. Smiling, she pulled a lock of hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear. She was quite certain that the only other time she’d had more sex in a forty-eight hour period was when they’d been on their honeymoon.

He hadn’t said anything about the miscarriage after Friday night, and she hadn’t either. She wasn’t sure what he was feeling or thinking about it, or if he was at all. Several times she’d almost brought it up, but always hesitated when the moment came, afraid to shatter the cocoon of safety and happiness they’d created for one weekend. She was determined to talk it over with Dr. Hopper next week, before she dared to breach the subject with Weaver. Archie would know the best way to go about it, and he would help her get her mind straight beforehand, as he had many times when she was practicing her closing argument for an important case.

Monday had brought no news from Nevada, but this morning she’d gotten a call from Clark County letting her know to expect something by no later than Wednesday. It put an extra spring in her step as she pushed the revolving door to the city building that housed the District Attorney’s office. Her cell phone chirped in her coat pocket, and she pressed the elevator button before pulling it out. An notification lit up on the screen, an email to her official account, but the lift was already moving and her signal went out as it began the slow climb to the sixth floor.

Belle shoved her phone back in her pocket and stepped off the elevator, wanting to wait until she was with Weaver before she read the email, just in case it was good news. Her lips parted as she rounded the corner and saw his outline through the frosted glass of her office. He was seated at the conference table, leaning back, as far as she could tell, and a naughty idea on how they might celebrate this possible good news flashed across her mind.

Weaver turned as she opened the office door, and smiled. “Go well?”

She nodded and walked over to her desk. “Pretty good.”

“Good.”

Then she held up her phone and grinned. “I have an email.”

“Just one? I’ll alert the media,” he deadpanned, pushing back from the conference table.

Belle rolled her eyes and dropped her purse in her bottom drawer before kicking off her walking flats and wiggling her feet back into her work heels. “From the Clark County Clerk.”

Weaver stood, his mouth curving crookedly. “Say that five times fast.”

“You’re the worst.”

He laughed as she pulled out her chair. “And yet you love me.”

She huffed and pushed up on her toes to press a quick kiss to his lips. “Allegedly.”

He made a soft ‘oh’ sound and slipped an arm around her, pulling her flush against him. “I have a fair bit of evidence from this weekend that says otherwise.”

Belle bit her lip and smiled as he dipped his head and kissed her neck. “None of which is admissible in court.”

Weaver’s nose nudged at her ear as he chuckled and whispered, “You’re the only judge I care about convincing anyway.”

Giggling, she shoved his chest until he stepped back, and then shook her head. “You’re incorrigible. Now, can I check my email?”

He gave her a sly look, but motioned towards her computer. Her stomach flipped as she sat down and opened the lid of her laptop, hoping that what they would find wouldn’t kill the delightful buzzing anticipation between them. It seemed to take twice as long for her email to open and the new message to appear, and she started tapping her foot impatiently while Weaver’s hand squeezed the back of her chair. She clicked on the message, opening it in a full window so they could both read it.

They exchanged a look, and Belle scooted forward, saving the attached documents to the folder for the case. There were three in all, a scanned image of Molly Macreedy’s foster care agreement, and two exported PDFs from the Nevada DMV database containing the records for her foster parents. The image had been pasted into the email and stated her foster parents’ surname as Tremaine. Belle opened the DMV records for each parent, putting them side by side on the screen before she sat back in her chair.

“Holy shit.”

“Yeah,” Weaver said, breathless.

“No wonder we couldn’t find anything on Eloise Gardener,” Belle said. “She never existed.”

“Eloise Tremaine,” Weaver began, sticking the DMV photo up on the whiteboard next to a picture from Eloise Gardener’s autopsy. “Former foster parent to our first victim, Molly Macreedy, aka Baby Jane number 3-2-5. She was left at a fire station in North Las Vegas, estimated to be about three weeks old at the time.”

Detective Rogers shook his head and put up the DMV photo of Robert Tremaine on the other side of the board before turning to face Captain Graham Humbert, Belle, and DA Midas. “Robert Tremaine, real estate developer from Henderson, married Eloise Smith in 1993. They had no kids of their own, but had at least fifteen foster children, that we know of.”

“We’re still waiting on all the records from Nevada,” Belle added.

“Robert died in March of 2013,” Weaver continued, leaning against the wall of bookshelves in Belle’s office. “No particulars on that just yet, but shortly after that any paper trail on his wife goes cold.”

“What about his estate?” Graham asked, frowning.

Weaver shrugged. “Real estate records show the sale of the house was handled by an attorney. That’s all we have on that so far.”

Midas leaned forward on the table. “Tremaine’s business, anything about that? Real estate development in Vegas was pretty lucrative at that time.”

“And fairly shady.” Rogers’ eyebrows lifted. “We’re looking into possible organized crime connections with that, but that’s a whole can of worms unrelated to our serial murders.”

Graham flipped through the small packet of papers Belle had compiled thus far. “What was Eloise doing in Seattle?”

“We don’t know,” Weaver answered. “If there is a link to the mob with her husband’s business, it would stand to reason that she’d want to get away from Vegas, but Seattle doesn’t seem far enough to run from that kind of thing.”

“But,” Belle interjected. “It doesn’t explain how Jack and Nick Branson knew about the history between Molly and Eloise, or why they were killed.”

“So...you have adoption records and foster parents for one victim, from another state, and not much else.” Graham looked around at the group and dropped the papers back on the table.

“Hey, we -”

“Now wait -”

Weaver and Rogers start defending themselves at the exact same moment, but stopped when Midas stood up.

“Captain Humbert is right,” Midas said. “It’s interesting background, and it’s a possible lead to - something - but it’s not helping us build a case against the Bransons, and this office -.”

“Nick Branson worked construction in Las Vegas,” Belle interrupted. “Maybe that’s the connection. Maybe it’s through Robert Tremaine’s business that he - I don’t know - came into some contact with Eloise.”

Midas frowned and looked at Graham a moment before fixing Belle with a hard stare. “Follow it up, but don’t waste time on goose chases and rabbit holes. The murders were here in Seattle, not in Las Vegas. We’re not even sure Eloise was murdered by the Bransons -”

Belle attempted to interrupt him again, but his glare quieted her immediately. “You’ve shown me no definitive proof that she was. Meanwhile, we have five victims that we do know they killed, and a trial for them starting in two months. I’d like to avoid that kind of public spectacle if at all possible and get these two psychopaths to take a deal on those five murders.”

The tension in the room made Belle uncomfortable and her eyes darted to meet Weavers’ before shifting back to her boss.

“Am I clear, ADA French?”

She swallowed. “Yes, sir.”

“Thank you, detectives,” Midas said, nodding to Rogers and Weaver. “Captain Graham.”

Midas strode out of the office, and everyone left in the room collectively sagged in defeat. The air of excitement that Belle and Weaver had maintained for the last thirty-six hours at the news of Eloise Gardener’s real identity fizzled to nothing as Belle laid her head down on the conference table.

Weaver shot a look at Graham. “What the hell crawled up his arse?”

Graham sighed and ran a hand over his face. “The mayor,” he said, counting on his fingers as he spoke, “the city council, Alderman Samedi, Victoria Belfrey…”

“Belfrey?” Belle said, lifting her head. “What the hell does she care?”

“Apparently she had a deal with Samedi to build cost controlled housing on that vacant lot,” Graham explained. “The whole thing is in limbo now because the lot is a crime scene and hasn’t been released, and we can’t do that until we move forward on Eloise Gardener’s, or Tremaine’s, or - whoever the hell she is’s - murder.”

“So no pressure then,” Rogers muttered flatly, snapping the cap on one of the dry erase markers.

Belle pushed back from the conference table and stood up. “Okay,” she said, holding up both of her hands, palms outward. “We need a new plan. Rogers, figure out where the hell Eloise was living in Seattle. Hopefully having her actual last name will yield more results, but there could be something under her husband’s name, or his company. Ian and I will focus on the other victims, and see if any more of them are also adopted, or were in foster care.”

Then she turned to Graham and gave him a sickly sweet smile, that hand him rolling his head back and looking up at the ceiling. “Captain Humbert, if you could please reach out to your federal law enforcement contacts, and see if there’s even a whiff of organized crime around Robert Tremaine, that would be most especially helpful.”

Graham let out a snorting laugh, and gave Belle a salute with two fingers before he gathered up his things. “Yes, ma’am.”

Plans made, and men dispersed, Belle was left alone in her office. She sat down on the sofa, head in her hands, and took a deep breath, blowing it out slowly between her lips. Archie’s voice was once again in her head, and for a long moment she let herself focus on it, trying to block out the irritated voice of her boss and the nagging on in her head that set her anxiety up to an eleven.

Feeling calmer, Belle looked up, her eyes staring straight ahead at the white board with pictures of Robert and Eloise Tremaine hanging side by side. She pushed to her feet and walked towards her, her vision narrowing to the image of Eloise, with that awkward expression so common with driver’s license photos.

“Why were you in Seattle, Eloise?” she asked no one. “What were you running from?”

Which Apps Are Safe for Kids? Three Tools That Read the Fine Print for You

Some apps do more harm than good. And “free” apps often come with hidden costs. These tenets hold as true for education apps as they do for those in the consumer market, privacy experts contend.

A recent New York Times investigation found that many companies receive such precise, extensive data on their users that they—and anyone else they share this information with—could easily identify a single individual and pinpoint their location. That user data is often sold to or shared with other companies, such as advertisers who have a vested interest in behavioral data, and it’s not as anonymous as people think. This is how many free apps monetize.

Every time users click “allow” when an app asks them to enable location services or provide access to their contacts, microphone or folders, they are potentially making a transaction: sharing their personal information in exchange for using the app.

Yet few users read the fine print—let alone students, as researchers have found. Today, the Apple app store alone features more than 75,000 education apps. Countless more are available for Android devices. But which are safe to use with students? And how can you be sure?

There’s not enough time in the day for educators to read each company’s privacy policy. Those who make the time will often find that the policies tend to be long, dense and difficult to decipher. Harder still is uncovering the trackers that reveal how the data is being shared.

Fortunately, several tools have done the heavy lifting for educators and parents. Below are three resources you could use when considering whether an app is appropriate for students.

Common Sense Privacy Evaluations

Common Sense, a nonprofit education and advocacy organization, maintains a database that evaluates edtech tools on whether they are safe for use in schools.

The privacy evaluations are broken down into three tiers: blue (“Use Responsibly”), yellow (“Use with Caution”) and red (“Not Recommended”).

“That’s our best way of communicating what’s in a 20-page privacy policy,” says Girard Kelly, counsel and director of the privacy review at Common Sense.

When establishing each rating, Common Sense’s privacy team considers federal and state privacy regulations as well as industry best practices. It’s all covered in the team’s 150-question rubric, which is used to assign a tier to each tool.

Tools that earn a “Use Responsibly” badge meet Common Sense’s minimum criteria, while those that are labeled “Use with Caution” fail to clearly or fully define how they protect student information. Apps that are deemed “Not Recommended” either don’t support data encryption or lack a complete privacy policy.

Since the project began in 2015, the privacy team has evaluated nearly 300 education apps. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, Kelly tells EdSurge.

The team started by evaluating about 200 apps that school district leaders indicated as high priority—in other words, those that were most downloaded in the app store or that district leaders identified as most popular in their schools. “Some of these apps have millions of kids using them,” Kelly says. “That alone is a huge footprint.”

Common Sense recently began chipping away at the remaining 3,000 apps they identified, going in alphabetical order. Most of the ones that have been evaluated are outright educational apps. The ones they’ll be focusing on in the next year tend to be situated in the consumer space—think Angry Birds, Instagram and Pinterest, which are not intended for learning but are used widely by kids.

The team may never be able to provide an exhaustive list, not least because the privacy evaluations are incredibly time-intensive, Kelly explains. For each app, the team spends between eight and 16 hours reviewing it.

Of the 297 apps evaluated to date, the majority (187) earned a yellow “Use with Caution” badge.

Take Duolingo. The language-learning platform earned a yellow badge and received an overall score of 31 out of 100. That’s because Duolingo shares data for advertising or marketing purposes, displays behavioral or contextual advertisements and provides data to third-parties, according to Common Sense.

Quizlet, on the other hand, earned a yellow badge and received an overall score of 52. Quizlet, like Duolingo, displays behavioral or contextual ads and allows third parties to collect its data. However, it earned a higher overall score than Duolingo because Quizlet’s privacy policy explicitly states that it does not sell or rent data to third parties, whereas Duolingo’s policy doesn’t clarify one way or the other.

This is an important distinction, Kelly says. Just because a company does not have a clearly written policy does not mean that it is engaging in bad or questionable practices. At the same time, by not having a clear statement, the company implicitly assumes that users are okay should the company decide to do them.

Before publishing a company’s privacy evaluation, someone at Common Sense contacts the company to discuss what was found and “open up a dialogue,” Kelly says.

“If we want to raise the bar, we need to make sure these companies understand,” he says. “It’s very valuable information for them.”

Kelly has had many conversations with officials at companies that fall into the “Use with Caution” category, and what he’s noticed is that a lot of them aren’t writing certain practices, such as the selling of user data or behavioral advertising, into their privacy policies “because they feel it doesn’t apply to them,” he explains. “They’re asking, ‘Why do I need to talk about behavioral advertising if I don’t do it?’”

In a number of cases, Kelly adds, vendors have reached back out about a month after their initial conversation to say they’ve updated their policies to better reflect their practices. It’s a huge reason Common Sense is spending the time on this project, he says.

The privacy evaluations have been useful for educators, too. Common Sense meets with its 200 district partners every month and hears that many of them are using the evaluations in their procurement processes.

AppCensus

Another tool—though not specific to edtech—is AppCensus.

AppCensus, powered by a group of privacy and security researchers based in Berkeley, Calif., analyzes smartphone apps and outlines the personally identifiable information (PII) the apps extract and share with third parties. (Its slogan is “Learn the privacy costs of free apps.”) It issues badges if an app falls into any of these three categories: “Transmits sensitive data,” “uses sensitive permissions” and has “no privacy policy.”

For example, ClassDojo, a classroom communication app, earned a badge from AppCensus for “transmitting sensitive data” on its app. ClassDojo requests permission to access users’ location, storage, microphone, camera and start silently (a setting that allows the app to start running when the device is turned on).

AppCensus determines whether an app transmits personal information or device identifiers, which are unique to each person and track behavior over time. Device IDs are very helpful for advertisers and analytics companies. The AppCensus tool also identifies the recipients of each app user’s data. In the case of ClassDojo, a relatively harmless example, data goes back to the company and to Google Crashlytics. In the case of Quizlet, data is sent to Facebook and Google ad services, according to AppCensus.

AppCensus has tested many of the same education apps reviewed by Common Sense (search for other app reports here). The catch with AppCensus is that, due to certain restrictions on iOS, AppCensus is only able to analyze Android apps.

Source: Common Sense, AppCensus and Exodus.

Exodus

Another privacy evaluation tool, created and maintained by Exodus, a French non-profit organization, is also limited to Android apps.

Exodus publicizes how many trackers—or software that collects data about users and their usage—and permissions are found in each app. For Duolingo, it found 15 trackers and 22 permissions, and for Schoology, a K-12 learning management system, it found three trackers and 11 permissions.

In each report, Exodus identifies where the trackers are coming from. Some common origins are ads and analytics services offered by Google and Facebook, along with other tools like Flurry, Inmobi and MixPanel.

None of the three aforementioned tools provide a perfect picture of an app’s data-sharing practices or privacy policies. The important thing, Kelly says, is that educators, parents and students use these tools as a gateway into greater awareness and control of their own data.

“Because this can happen invisibly,” he says, referring to the sharing and selling of user data, “those two big things—awareness and control over the collection and use of your information—are a good place to start.”
