Different ADs in Exchange Server

$
0
0

Hi,

I've exchange server in multiple zones. In every zone I have separate ADC. the problem is that when I check get-adserversettings

following severs are always changed to different ADC.

DefaultGlobalCatalog
DefaultConfigurationDomainController
DefaultPreferredDomainControllers

I always set them to the ADC where our Database is mounted and control is available. But after few days it changed to other ADC in our environment. How can I fix it to a particular ADC.

Cannot setup Outlook 2013 account just using email address

$
0
0

Hi,

Not sure if I am in the right forum, but I have setup an on premise exchange 2013 sp1 server.

A proper certificate has been installed, autodiscover record implemented externally and internally.

When I setup Outlook 2013 from within the office on an office computer I can setup the account just using an email address and a password.

If I try to setup an account from a laptop which is outside the organisation, start supplying the email address and password, then the setup stops showing the email address I previously used with the password that I previously supplied, but it does not complete the configuration

To complete the configuration I have to click other account and supply the windows domain name, a backslash and domain username, then the password.

Why can I setup an exchange account in a similar way you would configure it with office 365 in the cloud?

When you use office 365 you can setup an exchange account into Outlook 2013 just supplying an email address and password. 

Same goes for the mobile setup.

With our on premise exchange 2013 server, there is a lot of manual setup on mobile devices despite that autodiscover has been configured correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi to all, my question is quite simple. I'm searching a script or another way to archive with a single command all emails of all mailboxes antecedents a date (for example 1st of january 2015) in a mailbox database.

My goal is to launch that script and have 1 pst for each mailbox of the database, the same goal you have when you use archiving in Outlook..it that possibile? It's ok for me also if i can do it  1 mailbox at time...but what i want to avoid is to go on every pc and launch export via Outlook...

Thank you for the help..

Deleted mailbox shows up after creating a new mailbox

$
0
0

Greetings all and thanks in advance.

Not sure how it happened in the first place, but a end user's mailbox and AD account were accidentally deleted in one fatal move.  I was able to recover the user object using LDP.exe.  Then came the step of attaching the deleted mailbox to the AD object.  Of course, the deleted mailbox does not show up immediately, despite my cmdlet efforts to do so.  I even waited a overnight, but the mailbox did not show up in the connect to a mailbox list. 

So I created a new mailbox.

Now the user is getting a message when starting outlook that "Your mailbox has been temporarily moved on Exchange server"  A temporary mailbox exists, but might not have all of your previous data."  I can use Temp mailbox, Use Old data or cancel.  When using Temp, everything works as expected, until we launch Outlook again.  If I choose Use Old Data, outlook shows the mailbox as it was when deleted and Outlook is set to Offline mode.

But guess what?  The old mailbox is now available in the Connect to a Mailbox list.

Is there a way for me to merge the two?  Can I delete the current mailbox and return to the old one?  I'm afraid the old one won't have the current data.  Or is the thing to do is just to delete the old mailbox and allow him to use the new one that is functioning?

Thanks,

Willis

Exchange 2013 Availability monitoring

Hi All,

I'm sort of stuck on the Exchange 2013 Probe Monitors, Monitors such as Imap, ActiveSync, Pop3 and FrontEndTransport keep failing. To fix/check the issue I'm following the below links:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.scom.activesync(v=exchg.150).aspx

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.scom.imap(v=exchg.150).aspx

For example typing in Invoke-MonitoringProbe ActiveSync\ActiveSyncCTPProbe -Server server1.contoso.com | Format-List

I will get the following error:

WARNING: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

Not sure why I'm getting this error.

For Imap testing i.e. typing in Invoke-MonitoringProbe IMAP\ImapCTPProbe -Server server1.contoso.com | Format-List

I will get the following error:

WARNING: No mailboxes were found to use in the CTP probe.

I'm absolutely stumped on why I'm getting these errors.

I'm running my Exchange servers on Hyper-V 2012 (My Hyper-V 2012 is clustered and managed by VMM 2012 SP1)

I have 8 Exchange 2013 Enterprise CU6 nodes, with 2 DAGS

Each Exchange server is running 4 cores of Processor and 24Gig of Ram (Not using Dynamic Memory)

If someon can shed some light on this issue it would be most appreciated.

Hello,
I have a shared mailbox called "Help Desk".
I need to permit to user "User1" the Full Access to this shared mailbox and "send as" and send on behalf from this shared mailbox.

I have Exchange 2013 CU10.

From ECP I have created shared mailbox and from "mailbox delegation properties" I have added user "User1" in "Send As" box and in "Full Access" box.
Even after many hours if User1 try to send e-mail from mail address of "Help Desk" shared mailbox, User1 receive a underiverable error:

This message could not be sent. Try sending the message again later, or contact your network administrator. You do not have the permission to send the message on behalf of the specified user. Error is [0x80070005-0x0004dc-0x000524].

I check permission from powershell and is ok.
Other, I have execute this powershell command: Set-Mailbox -Identity "Help Desk" -GrantSendOnBehalfTo "User1", but problem persist.

Can you help me ?
Tnx
Manuel

Configuring Windows Search for Exchange Online in Outlook 2010 on RDS Server 2008

$

We have recently migrated from Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange Online. Users log into a single RDS Server and use Outlook 2010 in cached mode to access email.

We noticed that their email was not searchable from within Outlook, so added the Role on the Server and now we find the Indexing is taking a long time - Users report that within Outlook they receive "Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed".

From what I can see the index is indexing but taking a long time? Is the index the one file for All Users or does each User have their own index? It looks as though the index edb file is in the default location C:\ProgramData\Microsoft.

Any help would be appreciated.

OutlookAnywhere SSL Offloading True vs False

Hi,

I am working in a lab where i have exchange 2010 and exchange 2013 (Multi Role) in coexistence environment. I tried to set Outlookanywhere by following command.

Set-OutlookAnywhere "AR3EX01\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -ExternalHostname mail.domain.com -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $true -InternalHostname mail.domain.com -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true –ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod NTLM –SSLOffloading $false

When I set –SSLOffloading $false then Exchange 2013 Users prompting password and even new user can not configure email profile because of password not accepting.

I set –SSLOffloading $True , there is no password prompt and proxy settings also perfect.

What is the logic behind this and what should be exact settings.

Endpoint Protection Exclusions for the computers of Exchange Server 2013

$
0
0

Hello Everyone.

We are using System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) 2012 for endpoint protection. I have to add antivirus exclusions for Exchange 2013 servers.

Instead of excluding the various subfolders of C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server, I have excluded the whole folder of C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server.

But my Exchange Admin is insisting that I should also exclude the individual processes running under the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server, like the following processes:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeDagMgmt.exe

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeDelivery.exe

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeFrontendTransport.exe

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeHMHost.exe

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeHMWorker.exe

So do I really need to exclude the individual processes that are running from the location C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server ???

Isn’t it totally illogical to exclude the individual process when we have already excluded the main folder.

Please guide.

Thank you.

Regards,

Hasan

OWA & ECP Woes :(

$

Hi All, 

I just inherited a server 2012/exchange 2013 installation which has apparently been down for over two weeks. New job walked right into the wall :) 

All services are started apart from UMCR which is failing stating that a cert cannot be found (although it lists its thumbprint). 
I have tried to delete the cert via PS but I just get the error that the cert cannot be found. 

Users can access their mailbox's via outloo but they cannot get access to OWA - users are presented with the login dialogue box upon entering their credentials they are presented with a "something went wrong " error - no further info. 
I can not login to ECP - it just times out on trying to establish connection after credentials have been entered. 
I have checked IIS mainly bind which looks right. 

On other related issue, new users cannot connect via outlook, old do not have any connection issues (apart from OWA). 

Kind of lost now, I cannot find out if UMCR is a needed dependency of OWA - pretty sure its not a dep for ECP! 

If anyone can suggest what else I could check please do post. 

Thanks 

James 

Exchange 2013 / Exchange Online hybrid ECP

Hi,

I hope someone can help. We have a hybrid Exchange environment made up of 2010/2013/Online and I have been enjoying using the Hybrid ECP where all environments can be managed. We recently upgraded Exchange 2013 to CU11 and since then, this doesn't work.

If I go the on-premise ECP and click Office 365, that works but, if I then try to go back to the on-premise ECP, I get the error below:

That error is from Firefox but the problem happens on IE/Firefox/Chrome also on any machine I test. The error in IE is:

Upon researching this error (in a generic sense, not specific to ECP), most people are mentioning adding the site to trusted sites but that doesn't work. Do you think I need to re-run the hybrid configuration wizard? Restarting IIS has made no difference.

Thanks.
