Copy queue length: 9223372036853793027

For the past 2 months, the night I install updates on the Exchange 2013 servers, after the second server is updated I cannot move the databases to their normal servers (we have the servers in an active - active setup with half of the databases on each).

When I try to move them using the ECP console it fails, the error it reports is:

error
databasename
An Active Manager operation failed. Error: The database action failed. Error: An error occurred while trying to validate the specified database copy for possible activation. Error:


        servername:
        Database copy 'databasename' on server 'servername' has a total (copy plus replay) queue length of 9223372036853793063 logs, which is higher than the maximum allowed queue length of 400. If you need to activate this database copy, you can use the Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase cmdlet with the -SkipLagChecks and -MountDialOverride parameters to forcibly activate the database copy. If the database does not automatically mount after running Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase successfully, use the Mount-Database cmdlet to mount the database.
         [Database: databasename, Server: servername.domain.com]

I found multiple reports of this in Exchange 2010 but nothing for 2013. I tried the powershell commands used in 2010 to force a move, but i get a database in unknown status not active on either server.

Last month I reseeded one database and it suddenly changed the CQL to 0 for all other databases and let me move them.

Any ideas what is causing this and how I fix it without spending hours waiting for a reseed to finish?

Hyperlink gets removed when using interal unc paths. (when sending mail to external organizations)

Hi,

When a user from our Exchange server sends a mail with an internal hyperlink lik: \\server\data to an external organization like gmail. The link gets removed. Is this normal behaviour and can we disable this?

The reason why i am asking is because now we are moving to office 365 but we are not able to do this with a hybrid environment first. So when we send a mail from on prem to office 365 he see's this as sending it to an external org (i think). We tested this sending to gmail with the same result.

Since we are moving loads of mailboxes and there will be a descent amount of time between everybody on prem and everybody in office 365. We will have lot of helpdesk calls if we can't get this sorted :s

PS: I know this is the Exchange 2013 Forum, but i can't select a 2007 forum & this is probably the same in a 2013 environment?

Don't forget about Alt+Esc!

Unable to create user mailboxes in Exchange Server 2013

Hi,

We have a .NET application that creates user mailboxes and other stuffs in Exchange server. Recently, I've added a Exchange 2013 Server with CU6 in the test domain and tried to create user mailbox in the Exchange server through our code. But ran into a issue. The following error is received by our code:

Error occured while executing PS command. Error : Active Directory operation failed on E2E100SPT2013RF.spt.resource.forest. This error is not retriable. Additional information: Insufficient access rights to perform the operation.
Active directory response: 00002098: SecErr: DSID-03150BC1, problem 4003 (INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS), data 0

On the Exchange server found the following error in the event log:

Exchange 2010 and IE 11

My organization just recently pushed IE 11 out and I am finding that Microsoft Exchange ECP 2010 no longer works and crashes with an error message "a long running script....  something....."    or "the webpage has stopped responding"...

If we use the current version of Chrome all works fine.

Is this a server setting that I need to change in Exchange or do we need to customize IE11 to work with it?

Appreciate any feedback.

Global configuration change for appointment/meeting default time

June 17, 2015, 10:21 am

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to globally change the default time when creating an appointment/meeting in outlook.

Every time when anyone starts a meeting, it would either be at hour mark(example: 8:00), or half hour mark(example: 8:30).

Is there a way to globally set it to 10 mins after those default time?

Example start time:

8:10AM

8:40AM

9:10AM

9:40AM

This was a decision made by our executive team having something to do with grace period before every meeting.

The end time would need to stay default. Usually a meeting would be 1 hour long, so with the new configuration, it will be 50 mins long.

A 2 hour long meeting will become 1 hour and 50 minutes.

And a 30 minute meeting will be 20 minutes.

Example end results output would be:

20 min meeting

start time: 8:10AM(globally configured)

end time: 8:30AM(default) 

50 minute meeting

start time: 9:10AM(Globally configured)

end time: 10:00AM(default)

Anything you guys can do to help would be greatly appreciate as always.

Thanks!

Exchange Server 2013 Pre-Requisites

I'm trying to setup an Exchange 2013 SP1 Edge Server on a Windows Server 2012 R2 platform. Taking a look over the prerequisites here, it's obvious that .NET Framework 4.5.2 is needed. However if one starts the Exchange setup, without installing this particular version, it will complete successfully based on the .NET Framework 4.5 that ships with Windows Server 2012 R2.

So is the Microsoft prerequisites article somehow pointing to a recommended version, taking into account issues with .NET 4.5 such asthis one ? Or is simply a mistake on that page and in fact it should read .NET Framework 4.5 ?

Hello!

Some cmdlets such as Get-Group, Get-GlobalAddressList output nothing when run on my second Exchange (CAS/MB) server:

They work as expected on Exch1. Exch2 does not have any issues either with its CAS or MB roles. No errors are generated in the EventLog when I run those cmdlets.

What could be the cause of this issue?

Thank you in advance,

Exchange server changes content-type (multipart and audio mime type to text)

Hi Guys,

I'm experiencing a strange issue where exchange server converts the content type from multipart and audio mime type to plain text. This is causing issues for us in sending voice emails.

From our phone system in Montreal we receive emails without any problem but they are sent from IIS.
In Vancouver, the server integrated with the dedicated phone server while it is the same company is using qmail.
The voicemail-email sent from this one seems to be filtered by Exchange.

Is there a way to prevent this? I couldn't find a setting where we could disable the automatic content type conversion in Exchange settings.

and "clear"  powershell console, not EMS
[on the server Exchange => powershell => add-pssnapin *Exch* => (Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited).count]?
Results in the attached screenshot:

Exchange 2007 Transport Rules are merging. What am I missing...

Wanting to add to the Subject line on certain emails coming in from outside.

Running Exchange 2k7 sp1

Setup rule under Org Conf / Hub Transport

First steps > Created email enabled Dist Group (ABC) then put myself as member (John Smith)

Went over to Transport rules and setup a rule .. "When sent to member of Dist Group I Choose ABC (all good) ...

next ..Prepend the subject line with string .. added ABC ... again all good

Tested from outside and all went well..

Now setup up second one (New dist group but same member (john smith)

Now new Transport rule following the same things as above but using the new dist group with me added that dist group. with a different prepend tot he subject line.

Now this is where the issue comes in .. when I send and outside email to either one they "prepend" both items from both rules into the subject line....

OK now I just received an email from the outside that had nothing to do with any dist group rule and it prepended both Subject Rules ..


Seems like it is going off user and not looking at Dist Group first ...or none at all...
