Cancelled recurring meeting invite sending out cancellation for every meeting

Hello,

I just came across an issue with one of our end users.  She had a recurring meeting for the next 18 months every Monday set up to send to a company wide distro group.  Today she cancelled the entire series.  All users reported receiving not just one cancellation but a cancellation email for every meeting (50+ messages)

Is that normal behavior?  She did send the cancellation but thought it would only send one cancellation notice instead of over 50 to each user.

I found some workarounds on line on how NOT to send the cancellation. That requires going into offline mode.

Environment: Hosted Exchange 2010, Outlook 2013 on 

Windows 7x64 OS

Shared mailbox - location of sent items

November 17, 2015, 7:12 am

Users have a requirement that items sent from a shared mailbox get put into the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Seems a common issue.

We tried using the DelegateSentItemStyle registry fix. This worked but left items in the outbox since we were not using cached mode. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2703723).

I understand with 2013 CU9 theres a new feature which allows each specific mailbox to be set to copy to the shared mailbox sent folder too (http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2015/03/03/want-more-control-over-sent-items-when-using-shared-mailboxes.aspx).

Brilliant, exactly what we want - no need for the registry fix - which doesn't work for us anyway.

BUT, user wants a copy in the shared sent folder but NOT the user sent folder. I'm guessing not but is there any way to do this at all?

Databases failed over - event logs not expalining things

We have 2 Exchange 2013 mailbox servers running in an active active setup, 50% of the mail databases on each server.

this morning the databases on server 2 failed over to server 1, the event logs reported these errors

File share witness resource 'File Share Witness '(\\witness server\domain.com\DAG\domain.com)' failed to arbitrate for the file share '(\\witness server\domain.com\DAG\domain.com)'. Please ensure that file share '(\\witness server\domain.com\DAG\domain.com)' exists and is accessible by the cluster

The witness does not report any issues, the share it mentions exists, is online and the SAN has no errors recorded. Other errors are:

Cluster resource 'File Share Witness '(\\witness server\domain.com\DAG\domain.com)' of type 'File Share Witness' in clustered role 'Cluster Group' failed.

Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it.  Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.

The cluster Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process was terminated and will be restarted. This is typically associated with cluster health detection and recovery of a resource. Refer to the System event log to determine which resource and resource DLL is causing the issue

The initiator could not send an iSCSI PDU. Error status is given in the dump data.

Connection to the target was lost. The initiator will attempt to retry the connection.

and

The IO operation at logical block address 0x634ae8 for Disk 18 (PDO name: \Device\0000004a) was retried.

There are no errors on the SAN, none of the disks have failed, the witness has no problems and Exchange is reporting the passive copies of the databases are healthy, there is no CQL. I had the network guys analyze the network logs for the connections all the servers involved are on and the SAM, no entries to indicate issues, peak traffic was less than 1% of available bandwidth at the time of the issue.

Both Exchange servers and the witness are VMs (VMware), they are configured to always be on different hosts. There was no unusual traffic to or from the mail servers and the witness is only used for this and KMS so there is no huge overhead on this either.

Anybody seen this before or have any idea what could have caused it?

Exchange 2013 Mailbox Re-Creation and Deleted Items Retention Time

Hello.  Due to ongoing issues a user has experienced with their Exchange 2013 mailbox, I am considering exporting the data form the mailbox, deleting it, deleting the AD user account, and then re-creating both the user account and the Exchange mailbox.  The plan is to recreate both the AD user account and the Exchange mailbox with the exact same names as they currently have. 

The deleted items retention time for Exchange is currently set to 14 days. Would I be able to re-create the Exchange mailbox immediately after deleting it, or would I encounter something like “item already exists”  until the deleted items retention time has expired ?

Deleting DBs After Mailbox Migration

Would users be able to do a search for past emails if the Database was deleted after their mailbox had been migrated to another Database?

We're a small business and don't have a DAG. I've set a nightly maintenance schedule, Retention policies, and every so often run a PowerShell command to see how much white space I'd recover. All mailboxes have already been migrated off, and I have another mailbox Database with a log Database created and ready to go.

Best way to move Exchange 2007 server to different Active Directory site

November 17, 2015, 3:48 pm

Greetings all,
I am faced with a dilemma at work. All mailboxes are ultimately moving to O365. We have an Exchange 2103 server in a Singapore Datacentre. Other remote sites have had all mailboxes successfully migrated to Exchange 2013 server. We are now left with one remote site in PNG with only a satellite connection to the Internet. The remote site has a dedicated Exchange 2007 server storing 140 mailboxes with 260 gig of mailbox data behind the satellite. Other sites have had fast enough Internet to do local mailbox moves. The Internet connection at PNG is virtually unusable for migration. At best we can get 500 meg per night which means 520 days of migration, which of course we can't do. Time is running out and we need to get the mailboxes or server in Singapore for the final push to Office 365.

Can someone please advise on the best approach to get the server or mailboxes to Singapore. Options we are considering are using Shadow Protect backup to start up a virtual machine in the Singapore Datacentre. We will then however have the issue of an Exchange server being moved to a different Active Directory site. I have not seen clear documentation of this issue and the workaround for this issue.

To reduce the amount of data in mailboxes, we have started archiving old emails via Outlook. This has archived a huge amount of data, but we will still have way too much data to move via satellite network via local mailbox move.

Can you please advise thoughts or documentation on moving an Exchange 2007 server to a different AD site. Outages need to be minimised as much as possible obviously.

Thanks in advance.

Email Address Policies

November 18, 2015, 7:31 am

Hi there

I have an Exchange 2013 Std server, which currently has the Default Email Address Policy abc@domain.com.

I'll be incorporating a second domain within Exchange shortly, and need to distinguish users between the Default Email Address Policy -abc@domain.com and a second policy for cba@domain.com.

Creating the second policy is seamless, but it only has an option of applying that policy to all mailboxes.

So the question is, how can I leave the Default Policy in place for users that need to have theabc@domain.com email address only, but still assign thecba@domain.com policy only to other users of my choosing, or, for any new mailboxes created.

Thanks

Shared Mailbox does not show some emails with attachment that do show in OWA

Hello, 

I am having the strangest problem with only one shared mailbox which is accessed by several users.

Some emails(not all) that have attachments, are not showing in outlook (cached mode) but shows in OWA.

Steps I tried:

Check corruption but no issues found. 

moved to different database - worked for a day but after that the issue returned. 

Please note that if I open the shared mailbox on a fresh user with a Fresh OST file they emails do not show. 

It seems these emails are not downloaded into the OST. 

any suggestion is much appreciated.

Thanks

Shared Mailbox Sent items BCC field.

Hello to all of you. 

Recently I've stumbled upon a problem with shared mailboxes and the addition of "set-mailbox <mailbox name> -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $True" in CU9. Everything is working perfectly with this, however there is one issue which is lacking from the saved mail on the shared mailbox itself. 

When a delegate with Send As access rights sends an e-mail with included "Bcc:" line, all is fine, the e-mail gets saved in the "Sent items" folder on the Shared mailbox. However the e-mail when viewed does not display"Bcc:" field. 

On the other hand, if the e-mail is viewed in the "Sent items" of the delegate who sent the actual e-mail,"Bcc:" field is visible. 

Is this intended and as per some sort of security protocol, only the actual sender can see the "Bcc:" field, or this might be a flaw with the new -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled option?

Thanks.

http://jenny.bourdiol.org/sites/jenny.bourdiol.org/files/article_doctek/rapid_migration_guide_from_exchange_2010_to_exchange_2013-v1.2.pdf

But still having below queries please help out on this.

  1.       How to move Distribution Groups and contacts from exchange 2010 to 2013
  2.       From exchange 2010 existing Accepted domains, OWA mailbox policy, Activesync mailbox policy, E-mail address policy, transport rules manually to be created in exchange 2013 after install.
  3.       After all mailboxes’ moves from exchange 2010 to 2013, existing arbitration mailboxes to be moved from exchange 2010 to 2013.
  4.       Allow/Block/Quarantine enabled in exchange 2010 so we need to do same process in exchange 2013 also.
  5.       We have implemented a single name URL like (mail.contoso.com) for both for internal and external HTTPS URLs and the RPC client access array in exchange 2010 and outlook anywhere has been enabled in exchange 2010. Planned to configure in exchange 2013 same URL.

While connecting external (https) users to exchange 2013 and it’s proxying the connection to exchange 2010 but internal users will face any issue on it.

Thanks &amp; Regards, Kumar N

Office 365 Vs Google Mail

Dear All,

We are planning to migrate to office 365 as we have more than 3 years old exchange servers. Currently, we are comparing against Google Mail which is quite popular too. We are currently on exchange server 2010 SP1 and we have DAG connecting to different countries via VPN tunnel.

May I know what will be the advantages and disadvantages of both of these email services as we need to actually persuade the top management of which one to go to. I myself as the IT Engineer would prefer to Office 365 as we have been using Microsoft products for quite some time. I heard that google is much cheaper, which is why become one of the alternative chosen by the top management in term of cost cutting.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Archiving in Exchange

Hi all,

Hopefully this requires a simple answer; perhaps just a clearer way of looking at it will make me understand!

When applying archive/retention policies to users, when you go to the properties of a folder in Outlook 2010 (for example), WHY are there 2 separate options where you can set the folder policy?  For the life of me, I cannot understand it.

Please can someone explain to me which is which...or which section deals with what, exactly?  For the love of Chthulu, can someone sort my mind out? :-)

Many thanks!

Missing Secure Flag & HttpOnly Flag From Exchange 2013 OWA

Hello everyone,

I have got a request from one of my clients asking me to add the following flag to OWA's web.config file but I am unable to find the whole flag in the first place.

<httpCookies httpOnlyCookies="true" requireSSL="true"/>

I guess the flag exists in Exchange 2010 but it might changed in 2013. 

The traffic can be seen to use HttpOnly without request for SSL on the cookie that Exchange use for authentication on Owa

I would appreciate any suggestion or clarification on this question.

Thanks

Hi,

When Running Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit it shows that four user mailboxes has Enterprise features enabled. How do I see which features are enabled on these mailboxes? I have tried comparing these mailboxes with other mailboxes that don't have the Enterprise feature enabled

Looking in the Exchange 2010 Organization Health it shows:
