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

We are running exchange server 2013 with CU6, on windows serVER 2012.
very frequently, content index is getting failed. Not sure why this issue has become more but we have been affected by this issue more than any oher issue.
Seems like it fixes automatically after sometime, but during production hours most of the databases content idex is failed.

I ran the below command but that didn't fixed the issue:

Update-mailboxdatabasecopy -identity "Database name" -catalogonly -deleteexistingfiles

Error message that i got when i ran the command:

WARNING: Seeding of content index catalog for database failed. Please verify that the Microsoft
Search (Exchange) and the Host Controller service for Exchange services are running and try the operation again. Error:
 The seeding operation failed. Error: An error occurred while performing the seed operation. Error: An error occurred
while updating the search catalog files from server 'ECSJNC00102-N3.sjab.local' to 'server name'. Error:
A transient exception from Exchange Search was encountered. Error: -1..

Not sure what is the issue, whether it is a bug or known issue, but need to fix.

please share your thoughts.

Accepted Domains Issue

Hi guys.

Recently I found out that you can set SMTP address for your users with domain that is NOT in your accepted Domains. 

Example: example.com is not in your accepted domains, Add SMTP:john@example.com to user john. Then Send an Email to john@example.com form inside organization.

the email will be received by john and wont go to edge servers...

This behavior is wiered. and will cause alot of problems. this email address will be treated like its inside organization.

Another thing is on transport rules when you set a rule for users that are outside organization john will trigger the rule.

Please fix this mess.

Thanks.

Send As, Send on Behalf not working

Hello

I have added send as permission on user1 mailbox for user2.

In browser OWA, When user2 logs in, and click on "New mail", and click on "From" drop down menu, he does not get any other option in this list except his own email id.

I guess this "from" dropdown menu should have user1 email id also since "send as" has been set for user2 (under user1 mailbox setting).

Same with "Send on Behalf" option. under User3 mailbox settings, "Send on Behalf: has been set to User4.

In browser OWA, when user4 logs in, and click on "New mail", and click on "From" drop down menu, he does not get any other option in this list except his own email id.

I restarted entire exchange server and also waited for more than 3 days (as some says it might takes 24 hrs to take effect)

Why they do not get any option under "from" dropdown of new mail window.

Pls help me.

Thanx

Pass Correct exchange Settings

Exchange 2013 SP1 with 2 member server 1 DAG. We use alfresco on our network and this app sends email notifications to users of our alfresco share site. The problem is, with exchange 2013 configured for alfresco to send these notifications, these notifications are never sent. Wehn we use a gmail acct, notifications are sent. I have been hanging out in the alfresco IRC channel and got some very good info but notifications when sent through exchange 2013 still doesnt work. Here are the settings for alfresco:

# Outbound SMTP properties

# use these properties to configure the out-bound SMTP server.
mail.host=our exchange servers (tried both DNS name and ip address)
mail.port=25 (tried both 25 and 587)

mail.username=exchange email address
mail.password=exchange pass
mail.encoding=UTF-8

# Default email address used for FROM if no other suitable value can found.
mail.from.default=alfresco@demo.alfresco.org

# Can the FROM field be specified as a parameter or current user or does it
# always need to be the default value - to agree with the username/password?
mail.from.enabled=true (tried both true and false)

# Is the email protocol smtp or smtps
mail.protocol=smtp (tried both smtp and smtps)

# Additional Java Mail properties for SMTP protocol
mail.smtp.auth=false (tried false too)
mail.smtp.debug=false
mail.smtp.timeout=30000
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=false (tried true too)

# Additional Java Mail properties for SMTPS protocol
mail.smtps.auth=false (tried true too)
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=false (tried true too)

(the following will not either stop notifications from working or make them work)
#use these properties to send test message during start of subsystem
mail.testmessage.send=false
mail.testmessage.to=
mail.testmessage.subject=Outbound SMTP
mail.testmessage.text=The Outbound SMTP email subsystem is working.

# validate email addresses
mail.validate.addresses= true

# transport pool settings
mail.transports.maxActive=-1
mail.transports.maxIdle=8
mail.tranports.maxWait=30000
mail.tranports.minEvictableIdleTime=30000
mail.tranports.timeBetweenEvictionRuns=30000

# NOTE: DO NOT remove this value - leave the value empty if you don't want to override
dev.email.recipient.address=
# NOTE: DO NOT remove this value - leave as false if you don't want to override  (if true then emails will not be sent)
dev.email.not.sent=false

So, my question is what are the correct settings for exchange suppose to be? I know exchange no longer accepts mail on behalf of someone so i am trying to give the correct settings to alfresco so exchange will send notifications. The exchange 2013 setup has not be "altered" so that the default way exchange works is still the way our exchange is setup.

What log file should i be looking at for more info as to why this is not working?

Hi, everyone.

I'm JS.

I have a big trouble about utf8 setting.

We have installed Exchange Server 2013 sp1 with dag.
And we have to apply OutboundCharset for AlwaysUTF8.

I tried to apply using cmdlet as below.

Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -identity "SERVER1\owa (Default Web Site)" -OutboundCharset AlwaysUTF8

Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -identity "SERVER2\owa (Default Web Site)" -OutboundCharset AlwaysUTF8

Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -identity "SERVER1\owa (Exchange Back End)" -OutboundCharset AlwaysUTF8

Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -identity "SERVER2\owa (Exchange Back End)" -OutboundCharset AlwaysUTF8

And

iisreset /noforce

Server reboot.

Re construct VirtualDirectory.

But... it is not working.

Server's response shows OutboundCharset : AlwaysUTF8
But actually all eml files are not UTF8.

Please help me... How can I do?

Migrating from a 3rd party server

Hi All

I am currently planning a migration away from a 3rd party Exchange 2010 server (which I have no access to) to my internal Exchange 2013 box. It will be around 80 mailboxes. My expectations are that the 3rd party will run a New-MailboxExportRequest command and supply my with the mailboxes in .pst format. I will then run New-MailboxImportRequest to import the pst's into my ready and waiting exchange/mailboxes. Its just occurred to me that I am likely to lose email autocomplete/quickparts/signatures but want to check if this is correct and if there is anything I can do to retain this data

Any advice would be appreciated

thanks

Read receipts returned as being deleted without being read

We have noticed that when the outlook client is not running in cached exchange mode emails with a read receipt get returned almost immediately saying that they have been deleted without being read.

This happened the other day when sending to someone outside of the organisation. We have since found out that the person did read the email and hadn't deleted it.

We don't get the same issue when using owa only outlook.

We are running exchange server 2013 fully patched and outlook 2013 fully patched.

Has someone come across this issue before, and is there a fix?

Time Until New Transport Rule Becomes Effective

In this Technet article, it's specified that the transport rules are stored in Active Directory. Even though it's not specified explicitly, to my knowledge this is being stored in the Configuration Partition. My question is - assuming the AD replication reaches a DC in the same site as an Exchange Mailbox server - how long does it take for the Transport service on that Mailbox server to pick-up the new rule ? Is it polling every 5 minutes, is it event-triggered, etc ?

In the same article mentioned above, it's stated that an event is written to the Security log in Event Viewer when this is being retrieved, unfortunately the ID isn't mentioned. Does anyone know what this might be ?

Exchange Server - Windows Firewall

Hi

I am just looking into configuring my single Exchange 2013 server with the local Windows Firewall. I am interesting only in inbound at the moment. I cant seem to find specific examples of other people doing it. Is it something that is recommended by Microsoft?

If so I have been reading this guide and it looks like 443, 80 and 587 should do it. Just wondered what other people have done for this

Thanks!

Internal vs. External hostnames

July 2, 2015, 6:42 am

Hey,

Our public domain is domainname.com.  Our internal AD domain is corp.domainname.com.

We currently have a single, multi-role Exchange 2010 server.  Outlook clients reports the server as being servername.corp.domainname.com in Account Settings > Server Settings.

We gearing up for the SSL change from 1 November this year where internal names are no longer allowed on a certificate, and I'm not sure how best to proceed.

We have these 2 on our current SAN certificate:

servername
servername.corp.domainname.com

As well as all the 'public' facing Exchange stuff:

autodiscover.domainname.com
mail.domainname.com
webmail.domainname.com (OWA)
mobile.domainname.com (ActiveSync)

My initial thought is to have Outlook clients connect to mail.domainname.com as that's already on the certificate, instead of the internal FQDN.

But I'm not sure how to do that and if it has any repercussions elsewhere?

Thanks
