Hi Everyone,

We have an application which sits between potentially multiple 100's of Room Scheduling devices and Exchange Server. All of the Room Schedulers will communicate with this single application which in turn communicates with Exchange on their behalf.

The application ran fine with Exchange 2007, but as we have moved to Exchange 2013, it is now having frequent 9646 Errors.

What changes in Exchange 2013 are likely to be introducing this condition?

Can the configuration of Exchange 2013 be changed in an acceptable (MS Supported) way to address this issue?

Are changes required on our application side to live with Exchange 2013 (and 2016 and future)? If so, can anyone recommend a discussion on how best to architect such an application?

Let's start high level on this, but if you need further information about how the application is architected we can discuss that later.

Thanks for any information you can give us.

Hi,

I have an OnPremis Exchange 2007 that's integrated with o365 via Exchange 2010 CAS Server. I'm in the process of migrating all the users and I would like to create a scrip to move them batch by batch.

I have created a script to work against a .csv file but it always says I have to specify the Database.

I have consulted Microsoft o365 Support, it they are clearly mentioned a Database doesn't need to be mentioned in the script, as the mailboxes automatically will be moved to any database and the backend team will do the database cleanup by themselves...

Below the script I've used.. any suggestion please?

$Users = Import-Csv -Path C:\Scripts\Migration\MigrateMCP.csv
$Users | ForEach-Object {New-MoveRequest -Identity $_.UserID}

I also used this script, but same issue...

Import-Csv -Path C:\Scripts\Migration\MigrateMCP.csv | % {New-MoveRequest -Identity $_.UserID -targetdatabase  -Verbose

Any help, would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

I am in the process of migrating mailboxes from EX2010 to Ex2013 (both Primary and Archive) and on the target database where the archive mailboxes are going the Content Index State is FailedAndSuspended.  This is causing the whole process to become a lot slower and is some cases fail altogether.

In the event logs for the server where the database is mounted I have the following events:

The indexing of mailbox database Archive Database 2013 encountered an unexpected exception. Error details: Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Core.Abstraction.OperationFailedException: The component operation has failed. ---> Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Core.Abstraction.CatalogReseedException: The component operation has failed.

   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Core.Common.Executable.EndExecute(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
   at Microsoft.Exchange.Search.Engine.SearchRootController.ExecuteComplete(IAsyncResult asyncResult)

and when I download a report for the migration that is currently in progress I am seeing the following:

RC-EX2013-01] Transient error ResourceUnhealthyException has occurred. The system will retry (10/60).

When it gets to 60 transient errors the whole process stops.

I've already looked at the following KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2807668 and used method 1 but this has not resolved the issue.

We are using Exchange 2013 CU1 and the server is not part of a DAG. Every other forum post I read about this seems to be related to servers which are in a DAG.

Does anybody have any ideas why this isn't working?

Hello,

We are currently migrating mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to an Exchange 2013 environment.

We are using one SAN certificate for both Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 CAS with internal/external DNS names.

Our SAN certificate is about to expire. It's not possible anymore to place internal DNS names in our SAN certificate.

What are my options for the Exchange Server 2010 environment? So that the reverse proxy from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010 for Outlook Anywhere continues to work.

Can I expect other problems with the coexistence environment after the certificate expires?

DNS Names SAN:

DNS Name=webmail.******.com

DNS Name=exvip.domain1.local

DNS Name=EX2010-CAS01.domain1.local

DNS Name=EX2010-CAS02.domain1.local

Specifications:

Exchange Server 2013 (CAS, MBX, HUB - x2 - EX2013-MR01.domain1.local & EX2013-MR02.domain1.local)

Virtual directory's: webmail.******.com (internal/external - split DNS)

Exchange Server 2010 (CAS, HUB - x2 - EX2010-CAS01.domain1.local & EX2010-CAS02.domain1.local)

Exchange Server 2010 (MBX - x2)

Virtual directory's: exvip.domain1.local

Thank you in advance,

Nieck

I receive email with following message, and would like to know on what happen if I reply to an automated email.

In general, does anyone know on what the default setting is for Exchange Server?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Only seems to happen for some users. We're getting emails stuck in the outbox, then a manual send/recieve doesnt complete.

Also, some users are getting pop-ups asking for login details.

What would be causing this?

I have a DAG and all the database are healthy with only one that is stuck in crawling, followed many tips but in vain.

-Stopped the exchange search and search host controller services, dismounted the DB, deleted the GUI directory, restarted the services, mounted the DB but still stays in crawling with only 16mb in the newly created GUI directory.

-Run the script Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy "db\server" -CatalogOnly and got errors that the search and search host controller services might not be running and yet the service are running and the other DB's did not give this error when I ran the same command.

WARNING: Seeding of content index catalog for database 'DB' 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 'mbx1.company.local' to 'mbx1.company.local'. Error: A transient exception
from Exchange Search was encountered. Error: -1..

What else can I do ?

I am attempting to edit a Room Resource Mailbox, and I'm getting an error that I can't seem to figure out how to correct. The error states "The value " is already present in the collection." I am unable to get passed this error in order to edit the settings of this mailbox. We're ultimately attempting to delete a recurring calendar item in order to recreate it with a different end date, but no one currently has rights to this mailbox to do it.

Hi All

We currently have a issue where we are receiving intermittent NDR 5.7.1 Unknown Recipient When sending outgoing mail. No configuration changes have been made our to Exchange 2013 setup. This problem is only happening on outgoing mail sometimes they can send fine to the same recipient and other times they get the above NDR.

Any suggestions help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi!

We are still getting the attached message while configuring exchange email internally even after changing the FQDNs in our Exchange 2013 installed on Win 2012.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks.

Hello All..........I have an environment where I have Exchange 2010 SP3 across three-3 sites.  There is also Exchange 2013 CU6 at the Primary site that is also the site which is internet facing.  I want to do following:

1.  Install Exchange 2013 CU9 at the Main Site with Two-2 MBX and Two-2 CAS

2.  Install Exchange 2013 CU9 at other two sites with Two-2 Servers (MBX and CAS combined)

Questions:

1.  Should I take it as a normal installation and configuration for transition or there is something that I need to take into consideration?

2.  Is there any step by step article with that regards which can be helpful in creating such an environment?

3.  Would I need to run Forest and Domain Prep?

4.  I would be building IP-Less DAG between Sites, so any guide with that respect would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am having a hard time understanding why I'm not able to send mail to my Hotmail account via Exchange 2013 from within the internal network.  Exchange is able to both send and receive e-mails to and from external domains out on the Internet when using the web based OWA interface.  However trying to do this via command line from one of the internal Linux servers fails.  Any idea how I can fix this?  Thanks.

Hi,

I'm testing with IIS 3.0 ARR + NLB.

I set up following the guidelines of the blog:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/07/19/reverse-proxy-for-exchange-server-2013-using-iis-arr-part-1.aspx

But I found some points that are causing me problems and questions:

Linked servers:

- SERVEREXC02 - 10.10.0.13 - Exchange 2016 Server
- SERVERNLB01 - 10.10.0.18 - ARR Server 3.0 + NLB (10.10.0.51)
- FQDN: OWA.LAB.LOCAL = 10.10.0.13 (Before the Web Farm configuration)
- FQDN: OWA.LAB.LOCAL = 10.10.0.18 (After the Web Farm configuration)

Off servers:

- SERVEREXC03 - 10.10.0.14 - Exchange 2016 Server
- SERVERNLB01 - 10.10.0.19 - ARR Server 3.0 + NLB (10.10.0.51)

1) Option (Least Current Request) has been removed;

. http://forums.iis.net/post/2105878.aspx
. What use?

2) When I remove the http (URL Rewriter), clears the option (Route Rules - Use URL Rewrite to inspect incoming request);

3) When I open the link (https: //owa.lab.local) he directs me to the OWA SERVEREXC02, but shows the message

. The website declined to show this webpage
. This website requires you to log in.
. Error 403

Note: I I enabled Tracing and Logging and is no longer generating logs. I do not know if these logs are generated only when there is error. But as soon as I enabled I could see algusn logs. Not anymore!

What should I do?

Doubts:

1 - I need to do some configuration in SERVEREXC02?
2 - To configure NLB for ARR, I need to do some configuration in SERVEREX02? Or should point the IP (defaul Web Site) for the ARR NLB VIP?

Thank you.

My frustration with Exchange 2013's seemingly random error messages seems to continue to grow :)

I have a single Exchange 2013 Server. I migrated from from 2007 about 4-5 months ago. We have never used the UM feature of Exchange, it was not installed on our previous 2007 server and we don't use it 2013. We don't use Lync or anything like that.

All of a sudden this morning I see I am getting an error in the event logs about UMCore being unable to process a message. Huh?? I've copied and pasted the event below. Has anyone seen this and can tell me why I am getting this all of a sudden?

Hi all

My Exchange 2013 server "SSL Offloading for Outlook Anywhere" has been enabled by default.

But we don't use "SSL Offloading" for our services/virtual directories, there is no device/load balancer stand between clients and Exchange server. Exchange server hold certificate and does encryption/decryption.
In my Exchange 2013 Server Manager --> Roles --> IIS Manager --> Default Web site , I view "SSL Settings" of every virtual directories :
+ aspnet_client, Autodiscover, ecp, EWS, mapi, Microsoft-Server-Active-Sync, OAB, owa "Required SSL" checked
+ rpc : "Required SSL" unchecked

Meanwhile RPC SSL Settings should be required as Exchange 2013 : Default virtual directories settings . When I try to enable Required SSL for RPC virtual directory and restart IIS, MS Outlook cannot connect to Exchange.
Should I uncheck "Allow SSL Offloading" for Outlook Anywhere then enable Required SSL for RPC virtual directory ? Please give me some advice.

Thank you.

This is what I get when trying to install Exchange 2013:::

I need to compare DLP and RMS technologies...

What is the main difference??

Hi everyone,

today i open event viewer i saw some Error and warning i will upload this to help me to solve this problem:

1-The execution time of agent 'Connection Filtering Agent' exceeded 90000 milliseconds while handling event 'OnRcptCommand' for message with InternetMessageId: 'Not Available'. This is an unusual amount of time for an agent to process a single event. However, Transport will continue processing this message.

2-The average of the most recent heartbeat intervals [536] for request [Sync] used by clients is less than or equal to [540].
Make sure that your firewall configuration is set to work correctly with Exchange ActiveSync and direct push technology. Specifically, make sure that your firewall is configured so that requests to Exchange ActiveSync do not expire before they have the opportunity to be processed.

thanks in advance
