Login to OWA via password stored in a database

May 10, 2013, 7:20 am

First off, let me start by saying I am a PHP programmer with no Exchange experience.  That being said...

I have a client that has custom web based software and (not related) uses Exchange.  They would like it so that each user has a tab at the top of their software that when clicked auto logs them into OWA.

My thought is that each user would have their credentials stored in a database used by their software and when they click the link it retrieves their user/pw and sends it to the OWA interface and logs them in.

Any thoughts?

Exchange 2010 Management Console Hangs on "Waiting for all snap-ins to complete" when Exiting

Hello! I have a strange issue where the Exchange 2010 Management Console works with no problems except when attempting to close. When exiting a "Waiting for all snap-ins to complete" dialogue box is displayed. The mmc.exe process begins to use 50% of the CPU resources and remains pegged at that level. The process at this point will remain frozen and will remain that way until it's ended via task manager or Process Explorer. Here are the stats and troubleshooting performed thus far:

Basics:

OS: Server 2008R2

Specs: 4 Xeon E5620 Processors and 10GB RAM

Exchange: 2010 SP3 - Problem occurred on SP2 as well

Updates: Fully patched as of Today

Troubleshooting:

1) Clean Boot

2) Ran Exchange 2010 BPA - No Issues

3) Checked Application and System Logs - No issues

3) Checked MMC.exe using Process Explorer - When hung roughly 24 ntdll.dll threads - 2 of which are each using 25% of CPU

I have not been able to find any good information on this issue. Any help would be appreciated!

STILL losing space!

May 7, 2013, 9:25 am

In another posting I mentioned I have Exchange where several databases are sitting in one partition.  I was losing a LOT of disk space from all the daily accumulation of transaction logs.  I moved all the logs away to a much bigger partition and this finally stemmed the loss of disk space.........or so I thought.

There is still enough whitespace within the databases and public folder database.  I know this because I see the Event 1221 every day.  The EDB and STM files have not changed in size.  My message tracking is set to 99 days but everyday I manually MOVE the old logs away to somewhere else.  Volume Shadow Copy service runs on the server but Shadow Copies is not turned on for any of the partitions.  They are all disabled.  The Queue and Badmail directories are empty.  I don't use Full Indexing

So in reality I shouldn't lose anything but I still do lose tiny bits of space per day.  Maybe several hundred MB.  Over the course of a week I might lose a half a gig or slightly more.  Over several weeks that adds up to several gigs.  I take snapshots of all the directory sizes and do not see ANY change whatsoever, except for the Exchange.logs folder, and yet I am still leaking free space. 

Can anybody tell me why this is happening?  Is Exchange accumulating something that I cannot see????  I don't get it

STM file increase

I just discovered an STM that was previously at the same size for months, increased by over a 1.5GB today.

What causes an STM file to increase like that and how can I find out what it was and stop it?  Can I reduce the size?  Can I pinpoint it to a particular user or user's inbox?

This is driving me insane, Outlook Anywhere issue Exchange 2013

I have spent so much time on this, it's not funny.

Exchange Connectivity test

	Attempting to ping RPC proxy mail.contoso.co.nz.
 	RPC Proxy can't be pinged.
	Additional Details
 	A Web exception occurred because an HTTP 404 - NotFound response was received from Unknown.

DAG and CAS are on seperate servers. Everything is forwarded to CAS.

OWA etc all working fine. External Outlook over RPC does not work, obviously.

External/Internal URLs are the same. basic authentication on external, ntlm on internal, IIS has basic, ntlm and negotiate.

I had Exchange 2013 RTM, upgraded to CU1, still have same issues.

Please give me a hand. Next step is Microsoft Support.

FYI, Server 2012.

Exchange 2013 rebooting Windows 2008 R2 DC's

May 10, 2013, 6:35 pm

Over the past couple weeks the Exchange team has been implementing a side-by-side install of Exchange 2013 with Exchange 2007. To my knowledge they haven't ran into any major issues. After they had their first 2013 server up however we had a DC reboot in the middle of the day. Throwing .. "A critical system process, c:\windows\system32\lsass.exe, failed with status code 255. The machine must now be restarted". We troubleshot and installed a few patches including KB2732595. No reboots for a few days. Then, in the middle of the day 2-3 DC's rebooted. The Exchange team had added 2 more CAS and Mailbox servers. We searched logs on the DC's with nothing obvious anywhere. So we continue to troubleshoot but nothing "obviously" points to the Exchange 2013 servers.

Last night, the Exchange team configured their DAG's and last CAS servers and throughout the night we had the same DC rebooting every 1-2 hours like clockwork. You would be RDP'd into the DC, nothing going on then error, computer shutting down with the above mentioned error. During the day 3-4x other DC's were rebooting every 2-3 hours. Fortunely it was a day off for most employees so we troubleshot internally without calling Microsoft. After several hours of reboots (again with nothing specifically pointing to Exchange 2013), we opt'd to shutdown all Exchange 2013 CAS and backend servers, reboots of the DC's immediately stopped. We're going into this weekend crossing our fingers with the intention of calling Microsoft support monday first thing.

I've searched quite a few forums and keep hitting old KB's or posts regarding Exchange 2010 etc. All KB's mentioned for Windows 2008 R2 are applied (unless I missed something obvious).

Note: Exchange 2013 servers are Windows 2012. DC's are Windows 2008 R2 SP1.

Any ideas between now and when I place the call with Microsoft ?

Exchange 2013, Self Signed Cert's and Outlook Client Access

I have installed Exchange 2013 using the guide below up until the point of installing certificates.

I can use OWA to send and receive email both internally and externally, but cannot get an outlook client to work. I want to use a self signed cert since this is a testing only site, but can't find any good information on if I can or how to do this.

I previously followed the guide and created self signed certs using the instructions as a guide. I got to the point where Outlook would ask if I would accept the cert, but then it would give me an error saying "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable...." or if I use HTTPS I can get to the login prompt, but get the same "The action..." error.

When it comes back to try again, it is also trying to connect to 1e36b262-727c-4015-ba9e-f6310c33ee9a@domainname.com and Mailbox:=SMTP:Administrator@domainname.com.


Any guidance on this is appreciated as I am very new to Exchange configuration and Certificates.

Exchange 2013 CAS Proxying/Redirection

May 11, 2013, 2:53 am

Hi - I am a little confused on the behaviour of CAS proxying in 2013. An example:

Two AD sites - Site1, Site2

90% of users in Site1, 10% in Site2

DAG stretches across the 2 AD sites in an Active/Passive configuration

Question - for the users in Site2 (who have their mailbox in Active Site1) when they connect to the CAS in site2 - will it proxy to the mailbox in site1 or redirect?

From here

http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/01/25/exchange-2013-client-access-server-role.aspx

there is mention of redirection of OWA clients based upon external url.

If I set the Outlookanywhere internalurl in Sites 1 and 2 to be different, my question is:

Will users in Site2 who connect to CAS2 redirect to the CAS servers in Site1, or will CAS2 proxy to Mailboxes in Site1?

Thanks

David

Dear Exchange server experts ,

 

Presently we are using windows 2007 exchange server 2007x64SP1 . Windows 2003 x64 SP2 server . I have more doubt example …

 

  1. 1.       Exchange users how can  change the password  themselves . (No need to change from ADS domain Controller )
  2. 2.       Some users they can change  and add groups themselves ( Example Subash domain users . this Subash member of domain administrator . this user can change the member of groups .. ext ) how can I control this type permission users .?
  3. 3.       How can I set the attachments size exceeds the allowable limit ? I have assigned 1024 kb( 1MB) every users . but some users sent 2048 ( 2mb) then they got it warring msg like (The message being sent exceeds the message size established for the user)

I don’t want users sent then receive the warring msg . if  exchange users apply any more then hub transport size immediately reject like below image ..

 

 

  1. 1.       We don’t have any Edge transport server .

 

 

Regards

Subash

Exchange 2013 - hosting for a couple of smb's

Hi,

we want to use a single exchange 2013 standard deplyment to host emailboxes for 10-20 small companys.

The issue I have is how can i make 2 user with same usernames so they can log in to owa with their emailaddresse?

I have added the domain as upn-suffixes. I am aware that a user can't have the same username in the same domain, so how can I solve this? I get to the point to make f.ex post@company1.com and post@company2.com but I can't log in with this in the OWA since it is not the primary UPN-suffix since it can't have the same prefix.

I need the users to login with their emailadresse or else it would be to much support I think.

Is there any solution to this?

To use a 3rd controlpanel would bring up the expenses to much.

Exchange 2013/2010 Offline Address Book not matching

May 10, 2013, 10:31 am

Greetings,

Since presenting Exchange 2013 to our environment in a co-existent state, we are noticing users whos mailbox is still on Exchange 2010 they are download an old Offline Address Book.  The database that these users mailbox is on is still set to download the 2010 version.  I have even changed the database properties to point to the 2013 address book but the Outlook client still is downloading an out of date address book.

I have performed the following commands but the users are still not downloading an updated Address book. 

Get-OfflineAddressbook | Update-OfflineAddressbook

Get-ClientAccessServer |Update-FileDistributionService

From their local machine I have delete the "Offline Address Books" folder from

C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ and started Outlook again but it still downloads an old version.

My mailbox is on 2013 and my offline address books folder has a file called "udetails.oab" that is around 1,139KB.  My users who are on Exchange 2010 have the same file, but the size is around 690KB.

How can I get the OAB from 2013 to properly update the 2010 version?

Cheers

Exchange 2013 External User Access Scenarios

Hi Team,

I'v got 2 Exchange 2013 CAS/Mailbox (same server virtualized) sitting on my head office. I need to look into providing external user access. Since there's no Edge in 2013, I would like to know what are the best practices and Microsofts recommended approach for this.

1. How to address Edge replacement

2. Do I need to have TMG or any proxy server for OWA publishing or can i directly do that from the CAS? If so is it recommended.

3. Also, some of my user mailboxes will be hosted in Zimbra so Exchange 2013 will be internet facing and Zimbra will be side by side for the same (domain.com). Zimbra and Exchange will be using a single DC where all users are placed. So If i need to route the mails to zimbra users, what is the best approach.

TIA...
