Hi

I cannot find an answer to this question no matter what I search for.

I have 500 users and 256 GB RAM on the multi role server assigned for the project.  I know it is too much but Is there a MAXIMUM amount of RAM limitation for exchange 2010 sp3/2013 sp1? Will exchange 2013/2010 suffer from too much memory?

Thanks

Has anyone successfully published Exchange 2013, especially Outlook Anywhere, using Windows 2012 R2 WAP? I've seen this article which suggests it does work: http://blog.kloud.com.au/2013/07/03/windows-2012-r2-preview-web-application-proxy-exchange-2013-publishing-tests/

However, we were looking to use KCD for Outlook Anywhere and this does not seem possible yet because the WAP can only do pass-through authentication for Exchange. Just wondering if someone knows anything different?

Hello,

I have the issue described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2870416

But my  GlsPerformanceCounters.xml is missing on the folder. Exchange 2013 CU2

How can I get it back? Can it be copied from another server?

Warm regards,

Hi to all of you!

I've currently a single Exchange2013 with roles MBX and CAS.

To protect from spams...i'm planning to install Exchange2013SP1 to another new server.
The problem is that i'm not finding helpful information how to configure it...how it works...

how to create rules.

is it managed by ECP or only through powershell??

Let me know.
Regards!

i need to setup a process that will allow a user to send an email requesting to join a distribution list from outlook client. then have that user automatically added  to or removed from  the distribution list. i know this can be done through owa with several steps but not in outlook. but would prefer to just have them either send an email requesting or setting up a webpage that they could request from  would accomplish the same thing in a single step.

am i looking for the impossible?

Exchnage 2013 SP1 on server 2012 hyper-v, 1 DB with no DAG. The problem is email sent from external (like yahoo) to users on our exchange server sometimes takes 6 minutes to deliver. We are not using a client like outlook. We see this on mobile devices and OWA. Emails sent from local user to local user takes less than 1 minute. Same with sending email from local to external user (like yahoo).

Here is what i have done in troubleshooting:

We do use mcafee security for MS exchange 8.0 for antispam/AV scanning at the exchange transport level. So first, i disable inbound scanning of email in the web UI of mcafee security for MS exchange. Then:

- send email from my yahoo account at 3:36 to my email on exchange 2013. Result - received email at 3:42 - 6 minutes

Then, i disable mcafee security for MS exchange using exchange management shell with disable-transportagent <agentname> (mcafee uses 3 agents, i disabled all 3 of them). Then i restarted exchange transport service. Then:

- send email from my yahoo account at 9:50 to my email on exchange 2013. Result - received email at 9:54 - 4 minutes

- sent another email from my yahoo account at 10:02 to my email on exchange 2013. Result - received email at 10:05 - 3 minutes

Sending email from a local user to a local user results in receiving the email in less than 1 minute. Sending email to my yahoo account from my exchange account results in receiving the email in less than 1 minute.

Get-transportagent =

Identity                                           Enabled         Priority

Text Messaging Routing Agent                       True            3
Text Messaging Delivery Agent                      True            4
McAfeeTxRoutingAgent                               True            5
McAfeeTxIPAgent                                    True            6
McAfeeTxAgent                                      True            7

We do not have any "rules" on the exchange box. The receive connectors are "default" settings from the install. What do i need to tweak to speed up delivery from external users?

I also perform the remote analyzer test and everything passed there fine. I also received that test email within seconds.

Dear colleges, I seek your help with ExchangeServer 2013 installation on a Hyper-V server issue I've been having.

Getting below errors during prerequisites check of XCHG SVR installation. Installation is done on a Hyper-V server. This server is member of a domain. I have also promoted this server to a Active Directory Domain Controller. In other words there's 2 AD DC - one is on the main server and the other on this one. The user the installation is run under has ALL required access rights. Please advise as this issue is getting on my nerves. I believe something is wrong setup on a AD DC part. Please suggest what to check and post on the forum, so somebody can just point out what I am doing wrong.  

try to delegate a user to a mailbox I'm getting this error below:

Error on proxy command 'Add-MailboxPermission - Identity: 'XXXXX,XXXXX' -User:'XXXX\XXXX' - AccessRights:'FullAccess' -InheritanceType:'All' -Confirm:$False' to server XXXXX.com: Server version 1912832083, Proxy method RPS: The WinRM service cannot process the request because the request needs to be sent to a different machine. Use the redirect information to send the request to a new machine. Redirect location reported:https://Exchange2k7.XXXX.com/owa

Sorted out all other issues (apart from a SSO issue- another thread) . Activesync, autodiscover etc all working- but Outlook Anywhere does not work for Exchange 2007 external mailboxes. It does work for 2013 mailboxes internally and externally- and 2007 mailboxes internally.

Exchange 2013 SP1. Exchange 2007 Sp3 RU10. Legacy namespace is in use and on certificate. Outlook Anywhere IIS Authentication is set to Basic and NTLM on both 2007 and 2013 servers.  Outlook Anywhere external client authentication is set to Basic.

Any sugestions what to look at next?

At my company we have 2 groups.  Corporate & Consultants

We would like for Corporate to be able to view all information in the Global Address List and Consultants to be limited to viewing only Name and Email.

Is this possible with ABP?  I have been looking into segmenting the GAL but Is there a way to hide information like phone numbers from the new GAL?

Getting ErrorItemPropertyRequestFailed error while Creating Attachment in restore.

Hi

I have problems with Exchange 2007 and WMI.
When restarting the service d EWMI gives me these errors:

WMI ADAP was unable to create the object for Win32_PerfRawData_MSExchangeWS_MSExchangeWS MSExchangeWS library performance, returned error: 0x80041001

WMI ADAP was unable to create the object for Win32_PerfRawData_MSExchangeWS_MSExchangeWS MSExchangeWS library performance because the property already exists Proxyaverageresponsetime

I have reinstalled all counters but still gives me the error.
That can happen?

I have a client with an interesting request that I really have no solution for.

They want to consolidate all of their personal contacts into a single address list with sub folders, and force all users to use that as the default address list which is then managed by 2 users. In this, they want to REMOVE the personal address book for each user and set this shared address book as the default. I am thinking a public folder address book is best? What is the suggestion for this? I have never had a request like this.Secondly- how can I (from a server level) force users to use a specific address book?

Thanks in advance for any tips or pointers- this one has me stumped.

I have these errors on two (identical) Exchange 2013 multi-role servers with CU2 installed. I have seen http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/de3a3c03-1abd-4db3-9629-716205270d08/event-id-1310-source-aspnet-40303190 but this seems to be another issue.

1. The importance of backing up exchange server. 

As the exchange product updates, there are many improvements. DAG is one of new features. In exchange 2010/2013, DAGthat provides a simplified, unified framework for high availability and site resilience. But even the most extreme forms of redundancy and fault tolerance can't protect you against every possible failure or disaster. It is essential that effective protective measures are taken for the critical data in your Exchange organization. Thus we need backup software to make backups of Exchange data.

2. Tips (Windows Server Backup)

1). Expecting the log files are truncated after backing up database, the full backup should be used.

2). When using Windows Server Backup, there is an exchange consistency check.

a. If the consistency check fails, the backup may fail. Using eseutil utility to check the consistency of the logs and the databases. (Note: Before using the eseutil utility, please dismount database which is checked. Otherwise, the error will occurs.)

b. Dismount Database

c. Dismount the database checked, using eseutil/mh to check database status.

d. Use eseutil /ml to check whether the required log files are available in a clean state.

e. Additional information:If the database status is dirty shutdown, checking whether the required log files are available. If the log files are available, using eseutil/r to repair database.

If the required log files are missing, we can recover database from a valid backup, if there is not a valid backup, running hard repair (eseutil /p) to repair database. (Note: Using eseutil /p may cause information loss, thus it is recommended that recovering database from a valid backup.)

Note: It is recommended that immediately performing a full backup of this database and offline defragment the database.

More Reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996953(v=exchg.65).aspx

3). Use these methods to check backup information after back up database.

a. Check database backup time.

b. View list of all backed up files.

c. Check event logs (such as :)

4). DAG backup

Back up a server hosting the data (active and passive database copies) that is a member of a DAG, when using Windows Server Backup to back up the server, a warning information will occur:

In order to avoid this warning, we must disable the Microsoft Exchange Replication service VSS writer as the following steps:

 =====================================================================

a. Open Registry Editor. (Note: Incorrectly editing the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Problems resulting from editing the registry incorrectly may not be able to be resolved. Before editing the registry, back up any valuable data.)

b. Add a registry key to disable the Exchange Replica Writer.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\Replay\Parameters. Add a new DWORD value namedEnableVSSWriter with a value of 0.

c. Restart the Microsoft Exchange Replication service

After do that, back up exchange server again.

3. After back up database successfully, log files are not truncated. How to release disk space. Following steps:

===================================================

a. Check backup type: whether there is a valid full backup.

b. If doing a full backup successfully, please restart Microsoft exchange server extension for windows server backup service.

c. If committed log still be there, please enable circle logging. But after enabling circle logging, there are noa complete set of transaction log files, we cannot recover any data more recent than the last full backup. (Note: If the environment is DAG, it will influence replication between databases)

d. It is not recommended that moving log files manually. But if we really want to move log files manually, please dismount the DB, use eseutil/mh to check DB header, move the logs which are already committed, mount the store, and take a full backup.

For one mailbox I need to configure all incoming mails are converted to plain text. I found this solution here...

On your Exchange Server, open AD Users & Computers, it should be under Start/All Programs/Microsoft Exchange.

• Find the relevant mailbox used by your application and open it's properties page.
• Select the "Exchange Features" tab.
• On the tab you should see a "Protocols" section
• If you click on IMAP4 and then Properties, you should be able to force plain text there.

However, this seems only to work with IMAP. The mailbox I'm looking for uses MAPI and the "Properties" button is grayed-out when I select the MAPI protocol. It's active when I click on IMAP. Why is this?

How to enter the MAPI properties or is there another solution to reach my goal?

Thanks

Hi

i want to export the All Transport rules into CSV format. can any body help me out. As per below link it is stating that it can be exported to only XML.

Link : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124410%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

[Symptom]

======================

Generally, a user can use “New-MailboxFolder” command to create mailbox folder for his own mailbox successfully. See the following example:

The above command creates a new folder named “PersonalFAQ” in the mailbox of Administrator.

However, this command cannot be used to create folders on other user’s mailbox although the full access permission is assigned. See the follow example. (We already granted the full access permission of test1 user to administrator user)

Just as what the picture shows, an error message will appear:

“The specified mailbox “username” doesn’t exist.”

[Cause Analysis]

=======================================

It’s by default. The “New-MailboxFolder” command cannot be used to create folders for other mailboxes.

[Workarounds]

==============================

1. Use EWS channel to create the folders for other mailboxes.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn535504(v=exchg.150).aspx#bk_createfolderewsma

2. Use MFCMAPI:

3. PFDAVADMIN (Exchange 2003/2007) or Exfolders (Exchange 2010)
