Exchange global contacts repository

$
0
0

Hi,

We have a pretty large amount of contacts (about 22000). What would be the best place to store these contactsin a centralized place of Exchange, knowing that:

- they should be all visible and searchable from the Outlook address book
- contacts don't necessarily have an email address


The 2 solutions I see for the moment are:

- public folders, but it doesn't seem possible to make them visible by the address book (tested with Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013). Also I've read they could be deprecated in future version of Exchange.
- Exchange mail-contacts, but they need to have an email address.

Thank you for your help,

Alexandre



Change authentication for /ECP virtual directory

$

0

Hello

Running Exchange 2013 ru8. I have 4 CAS and 4 mailbox servers, the servers are not multi role. I want to change the authentication on one particular CAS servers /ECP virtual directory, however I know changing the authentication on /ECP will also effect /OWA, as the two virtual directories follow the same authentication. Because of this I am going to create a new website on one of the CAS servers, then create a new /ECP virtual dir under the new website. My question is, if I create a new website on one of the CAS servers, do I also have to create a new website on one of the backend mailbox servers, and create a /ECP virtual dir on the backend mailbox server ?  I know I need to create an additional A record in DNS for the newly created website, example "admin.mydomain.com/ECP" however how does the CAS sever that "Admin.mydomain.com" resolves to knows which mailbox server to proxy the request to? Again I only want to do this on one mailbox server and one CAS server

Thank you

I am preparing to create my Address Book Policy, but an running into some trouble. I already have an AL, OAB, and GAL for my customer. I used this command to create an empty RAL (they have no rooms to book):

New-DistributionGroup -Name "RoomList_Empty" -OrganizationalUnit "domain.local/OU/CustomerOU" -RoomList

Then I ran the following command to create the ABP:

New-AddressBookPolicy -Name 'ABP1' -AddressLists '\Customer AL' -RoomList '\RoomList_Empty' -OfflineAddressBook '\Customer OAL' -GlobalAddressList '\Customer GAL' 
I am getting the error:

All room list "\RoomList_Empty" was not found. Please make sure you typed the identity correctly.+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [New-AddressBookPolicy], ManagementObjectNotFoundException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=ex01,RequestId=345f8ffa-8353-42f6-a79a-63b3cc266519,TimeStamp=4/28/201

Hi,

Desperately needs some help.

I am trying to perform additional configuration for Active Directory Rights Management Services on my home lab.  Everything went well except on the final step (Results), I got the following error without the quotation marks:

"Errors were encountered while installing the following roles, role services, or features:

Active Directory Rights Management Services

One or more AD RM role services couldn't be configured:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.  Parameter name: index

Errors were encountered during the installation of the following role services:

Active Directory Rights Management Server"

I have looked online for a solution but to no avail.  Can someone please tell me what is wrong and direct me to a step-by-step process on how to fix it?

I am running the Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012 which is installed on a physical Dell server.

Thank you,

Currently I am in the process of planning to migrate my servers to Windows Server 2012 R2, but I cannot find any documentation on setting up Exchange 2013 in this environment.

My current environment is WSE 2012 running on its own hardware, with a Windows Server Standard running a VM with the Exchange Server installed.  I would like everything on the same version.

 

Any suggestions?

Exchange Forwarding Not Forwarding Emails

I have been trying to forward email from my Exchange email to my Gmail account, my primary email. After trying some things, the emails my Exchange account receives aren't being forwarded at all. I've tried with multiple forwarding addresses and nothing works. When I tell it to keep a copy of the forwarded message, they appear in my Exchange inbox. What can I do to fix this? I really need all this going through my Gmail.

Shared Folder - Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened...

I have a shared folder, that myself and a few other users have Full delegated access from ECP.  I've also ran PS commands to make myself and these users 'owners' and I've ran PS commands to make sure the full access in inherited to all subfolders.

However, when any of us try to open the folder we get this error:

Is there a possibility the Mailbox is corrupt?  Is there some sort of maintenance I can run against this mailbox?  Or am I just missing something?  (I've set up plenty of other shared mailboxes and have not had an issue until now)

Exchange 2013 - How is everyone managing group memberships in ECP?

$

0

My domain admin group has full control on the AD object of all my Exchange distribution groups.  In ECP they do not have the ability to edit group membership unless they are the "owner" of that group.  Is there a way to be able to manage group membership without giving ownership of all the groups to all of my domain admins?

I would have thought, that because they have Full control to the AD object, that they would be able to add/remove membership.  Is there something I'm missing here?

reminders from shared calendars

Is there an elegant way to get reminders to hit all users on a shared calendar, instead of just the item originator?

If john doe adds an appt to a shared, he gets the reminder, not everyone else ... google-fu tells me that this won't really work, but much evidence of hacky workarounds that date back a few years.

wondering if perhaps there's a 'better way' in 2015?

After old 2007 uninstall, Clients always asked to restart for admin changes!

$

I have uninstalled our old 2007 box. The migration happened months ago (running CU5), it has sat unplugged for weeks to find any issues and nothing has crept up. Before uninstalling I had to force delete the PF database via ADSI, that went well - I couldn't remove the folders/system folders, nor the replicas. We don't need them, I only had it for BES years ago.

Uninstall went fine.  Shut it down. Now, if we quit outlook and restart, it prompts that admin changes have occurred and restart.  After that its fine until the next restart.  Tried repairing the account, no change.

I found a blog post on the exchange team about possible reasons for this but nothing seems to apply and it wont stop. I installed offcat v2 and all I can really find is an issue with blue tooth addon.

Hi...

I'd like to move all of User A's mail to User B's mailbox. Is there a PowerShell command that I can use to do this without needing to export the mail to a PST file first and then import the PST file? I'd like to make it a quick and easy move in one step. 


Thanks... Frank


Exchange 2013 - Offline Address Book Update

$

0

I have 2 Exchange 2013 mailbox servers as members of a DAG, with different Active Databases on both server. One of the servers gets the Offline addressbook however the other one the addressbook files are over a month old. I have restarted the Exchange Mailbox Assistant on the problem server and tried running the Update-OfflineAddressBook powershell command. The problem server is not updating at all. I have even gone to the point of renaming the E:\Exchange\ClientAccess\OAB\{OfflineAddressBookGuid} folder. The server does not generate a new one and the files in here at over a month old.

Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this one?

 

Exchange 2007 Free Busy working in Outlook but not displaying in OWA

On my desktop outlook 2013 client, free and busy works fine. When I logon to OWA, add a user, free/busy is showing blank when I highlight the individual and go to properties, I see their free busy schedule. When I try OWA from different desktops, free busy showing blank when I add a user. When I logon to OWA on the exchange server, free busy works. I verified DNS is resolving correctly, no issues with EWS, verified internal/external URLs, and verified exchange web services. I am thinking of rebooting the server but have to wait until a maintenance window.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kenny

HighAvailability Monitoring errors

We are getting several errors in the ManagedAvailability Monitoring event log on our Exchange server that appear to somewhat related - all appear to be 401 type errors, and unauthorized. Everything seems to be working ok, but we are not fully live with this server yet and I am hoping someone may have some thoughts on what these are about - I saw the MS support pages about this, but they didn't seem specific to these errors.  I updated to cu8 a couple weeks ago, but the errors predate that by a few months - I just noticed them this week. The errors are related to EWS, EWS.Proxy, AutoDiscover.Proxy, ActiveSync, ActiveSync.Proxy, OAB.Proxy, OutlookMapi.Proxy, Outlook.Proxy, OWA.Maintenance.Workitem, client submission probe on port 127.0.0.1:587. Not sure what is going on here, but all seem related with unauthorized or 401 errors. I am coming from Exchange 2007, but 2007 is in a different domain, and I am just exporting the psts and importing them into brand new user accounts - pretty standard install of Exchange Standard. Interestingly, the errors will occur for days at a time then have a few hours or a day or two of non errors. There aren't any other system errors to speak of on the system, except I am also getting a some errors in the general system log about Microsoft Exchange Diagnostics service terminating unexpectedly.  Hope someone has some thoughts on these errors - making me a little uneasy about going live - supposed to be this Friday evening.  Thanks in advance for the help!
