Setup.exe options for Exchange 2013 CU9

Getting ready to apply CU9 to our Exchange 2013 CU7 box. I ran across an installation note that thought I should check out. The article is athttp://www.howto-outlook.com/news/exchange2013cu9.htm. It mentions:

Important!
When installing Exchange 2013 CU9, make sure you also explicitly execute:
setup.exe /PrepareAD /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
This command is being skipped since CU9 doesn’t contain any schema changes when compared to CU7 and CU8. However, CU9 does include RBAC changes which are otherwise not applied and the improvements in KB3050877 will not work.

I didn't see this in the Microsoft kb article. Is this a preferred setup option?

Trigger GAL sync to personal contacts

Hi,

We run Exchange 2010 and have a problem with the sync of GAL to personal contact in Outlook 2010.

At our company we have a scheduled task on our DC that runs every morning. The scheduled task includes a Powershell script that adds 2 values to an user's "ShowInAddressBook" attribute (because we have 2 OUs that are used for 1 GAL):

Import-Module 'ActiveDirectory'
$users = $i = $null
$users = Get-ADUser -Filter "showInAddressBook -ne 'CN=CompanyName - All Users,CN=All Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=CompanyName,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=CompanyName,DC=internal'" -Searchbase "OU=User Accounts,OU=UserObjects,DC=CompanyName,DC=internal"
    if ($users -eq $null){"no user accounts needed modification"
    }
    else {
        ForEach($user in $users){"modifying $($user.name)"
            Set-ADUser -Identity $user.distinguishedName -Add @{showInAddressBook="CN=CompanyName - All Users,CN=All Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=CompanyName,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=CompanyName,DC=internal"}
            Set-ADUser -Identity $user.distinguishedName -Add @{showInAddressBook="CN=CompanyName - GAL,CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=CompanyName,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=CompanyName,DC=internal"}
            $i++
        }"modified $i users"
    }

Can this script trigger a GAL sync to personal contacts of outlook users?

I hope you can help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Logging on to mail server, failed within Outlook.

Hi guys,

Currently I'm having an issue in creating mailboxes within Outlook. As stated in the subject all steps verifies until it gets to the point of "logging on to the mail server"

For testing purposes I use the Auto Account setup, not specifying the exchange server FQDN and outlook anywhere details. Prior to the issue I'm experiencing now it did work through this method.

During the auto account setup it successfully verifies the following: Establishing network connection, searching for the email address settings ( where it prompts authentication, once given resolves successfully ), and finally at the last step of "logging on to the mail server" it prompts authentication once again, after given once more, it fails, stating Exchange should be online or connected.

This is a new installation of Exchange 2013 Std on a small scale for 10-20 users. Installed as a stand-alone server.

All mailboxes are accessible through OWA, just setting up from within Outlook where the issue is encountered.

I've successfully queried the autodiscover service which resolves to the correct address as well as the FQDN for external use ( as for OWA ).

What am I missing here, can it be certification issue? I'm currently using the self-signed certificates exchange generated by default during installation, as I'm waiting on the releasing of a 3rd party SSL cert. Creating these mailboxes in Outlook did work previously, also only relying on the self-signed certs.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Regards

What are these files on my exchange server in the db folder?

Hello,

I have one exchange server that isn't like the others.   I have one exchange 2013 server that has in the e:\db (where I store the database files) subfolders called BD62DF7D-0078-44E4-A1A1-23319ACE965612.1.Single, BD62DF7D-0078-44E4-A1A1-23319ACE965612.2.Single, BD62DF7D-0078-44E4-A1A1-23319ACE965612.e.Single

And in those subfolders are other subfolders - indexmeta, journal and MS.    

Indexmeta has a fastsearchindex file - no extension

Journal has master master.@meta, section0, section0@meta, section1, section1.@meta

MS has a %default with a bunch of part...merge subfolders.

They are starting to take up space.

I don't know if I need all of the BD62DF7D-0078-44E4-A1A1-23319ACE965612.2.Single folders?

Can I delete stuff?

Migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 - Outlook cannot connect and OWA always redirects to legacy

June 4, 2015, 12:56 pm

I recently set up an Exchange 2013 server in order to migrate our Exchange 2007 mailboxes over. In DNS I have a 'mail' ecord that points to our new Exchange 2013 server. I also created a 'legacy' record that points to the 2007 server.  We also have a local CA and I generated an exchange certificate with this CA and installed in the 2013 Exchange server. Autodiscover SEEMS to be working. Errors I get:
On a migrated account - using Outlook to create a brand new profile-
"Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
On an account that only exists on the new Exchange 2013 box - new profile:
'The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
In OWA:
Trying to login with the Exchange 2013 only account it seems to try and login, sits and thinks about it for awhile and then the URL switches to the legacy URL. The login obviously fails with a "This page cannot be displayed" error.

Note from above the DNS alias 'mail' is the new server. So if I ping 'mail' I get replies from new server, nslookup shows new server also. But if I do :
nslookup mail.my.domain.name
it fires back :
Name: mail.my.domain.name.my.domain.name
Address: <address of OLD 2007 Exchange>
I would think this nslookup would show the NEW Exchange 2013 machine?

PLEASE HELP! If you need for information I will do my best!

Is there any way to temporarily disable the Exchange 2010 2003 routing group connectors?

June 25, 2015, 10:07 am
$

We are in the process or retiring our old Exchange 2003 servers as we have previously moved on to Exchange 2010.

I know that 1 step in the process is to delete the routing group connectors to support Exchange 2003 <-> 2010.

Ahead of actually deleting these 2 routing group connectors our management would like to temporarily disable them and ensure there are no issues. The reason for this is that we still have on Exchange 2003 server that must remain for archiving purposes (not mailboxes, SMTP to external or public folders). It uses separately created SMTP connectors but to be sure we want to do as mentioned above and temporarily disable the 2 routing group connectors.

I cannot seem to see any way to actually disable them, only delete. Is there any work around to this to simulate it? If it not can the configurations of these 2 routing group connectors be exported so that they can be recreated exactly as they were?

Appreciate any words of advice. Thank you very much.

Migrate 2007 to 2013 exchange server best practices

I'm trying to properly plan staging our current physical environment with a pair of clustered 2007 boxes and two CAS servers. With that said we have no policy in place to control mailbox sizes and some users have 40gig mailboxes. Do we have to shrink these and how? Same goes for database sizes do we have to offline maintenance them? We also have several oversized Storage groups. Essentially I'm looking for assistance on what to do prior to migrating to Exchange 2013.

Going from SBS 2003 to ??? Really need a server product with exchange.

June 25, 2015, 3:25 pm

I'm in a bit of a prediciment.  My very small (4 user) office runs SBS 2003.  We wanted in-house exchange to keep our emails private and to run Blackberry BES software for our 2 BB users.  The only other features we use are MS Backup and we map each of the 4 pc's to the server drive to keep our shared data.  Two of our windows 7 machines don't even log in, they just map a drive to the shared data.

The reason I'm contemplating upgrading has to do with our Blackberry BES software.  The new version (to support BB 10 phones) requires Server 2008 or newer.  If it weren't for that, I think we'd just keep plugging along on SBS 2003.

MS no longer sells any SBS software.  I would have like to use SBS 2011, but I am not finding any reliable source or if I am, it's 2500-3000 dollars.  Not going to happen, not to upgrade 2 BB phones.

Is it possible to run a MS Exchange server software with 5 user cals and allow them to MAP a drive to the server for their shared data?  Again, since we aren't really using any of the features of SBS, logging in isn't really even necessary.

Do I have any options here?

I'm also exploring keeping the SBS 2003 and running a stand-alone server just to run the new BES software and point it back to the exchange system.  Running that down with the BB guru's.

I can't justify 5-10k worth of hardware and software upgrades for a 4 user office when the push to upgrade is coming from 2 blackberry phones.  Looking for a lower cost alternative.

Shadow Redundancy theory question

June 26, 2015, 3:47 am
$
0

Hello!

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351027%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

Message routing is optimized in Exchange 2013 so that when the ultimate destination is in a DAG or Active Directory site, multiple hops between the Transport service on Mailbox servers in that DAG or Active Directory site aren't typically required. Once the message is accepted by the Transport service on a Mailbox server in the DAG or Active Directory site that holds the ultimate destination for the message, the next hop for the message is typically the ultimate destination itself.Shadow redundancy's goal of keeping two copies of a message in transit is fulfilled when one shadow copy of the message exists anywhere within the DAG or Active Directory site. Typically, only failover scenarios in a DAG that require the Redirect-Message cmdlet to drain the active queues on a Mailbox server would require multiple hops within the same transport high availability boundary.

I can't understand where exactly should the shadow copies be created, for example, within a DAG with two CAS/MB servers (Exch1 and Exch2). Does the procedure described in the"Messages received from outside a transport high availability boundary" apply for the servers in a DAG?

Thank you in advance,

Michael

Safety Net theory questions

June 26, 2015, 6:16 am

Hello!

Suppose there are 4 Exchange CAS/MB servers - Exch1-Exch4 - in a single AD site, no DAG exists.

A user with a mailbox on Exch1 sends a message to a user on Exch3.

According to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj657495%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

"The Primary Safety Net exists on the Mailbox server that held the primary message before the message was successfully processed by the Transport service." - as far as I get it in my case the Primary Safety Net is on Exch1.

"The Shadow Safety Net exists on the Mailbox server that held the shadow message. " -

Q1: Which server is supposed to hold the shadow message (Exch2/Exch3/Exch4)?

Q2: In case a user sends a message outside his/her organization  where would the Shadow Safety Net exist?

Message resubmissions from Safety Net are initiated by the Active Manager component of the Microsoft Exchange Replication service that manages DAGs and mailbox database copies. No manual actions are required to resubmit messages from Safety Net. For more information about Active Manager, see Active Manager.

There are two basic Safety Net message resubmission scenarios:

  • After the automatic or manual failover of a mailbox database in a DAG.

  • After you active a lagged copy of a mailbox database.

Q3: Does it mean lagged database copies can not exist without Safety Net? In other words, can lagged database copies work if Safety Net is disabled?

Thank you in advance,

Michael

Hi All I was wondering if it is possible to host multiple domains with Exchange 2013. Ideally I would like to have two or more completely separate domains where Outlook would be able to connect seamlessly to anyone of the domains. I have tried making Exchange authoritative for for both domains but all it seems to be able to do is add mailboxes to a existing account. I don't know if this is possible with Exchange 2013 or not.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Exchange 2013 - 2 member servers - 1 Witness server

Greetings,

So we have 2 Exchange 2013 servers running on a Server 2012 R2 platform. They aremember servers of a single DAG, and 1 witness server. My question is, how safe is it to restart the witness server alone to apply updates? Better yet, is there a process or sequence in which to restart the witness and member servers after applying Windows updates?

Any help/suggestions will be very appreciated.

Thank you!
