Forwarding email or adding email address to existing mailbox?

$
0
0

In our office, when a user leaves, we're often asked to forward the user's email for a certain amount of time. We keep the user active and forward his email to another employee.

I wondered if we could just add the departed user's smtp address to the forwardee instead. Is there a downside to this method?

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

I have installed Exchange 2013 standard version in clean single domain structure with two Windows 2012 domain controllers and about 60 users that all have mailbox on the Exchange server. 

 I’m getting MSExchange Mid-Tier Storage warning in event viewer 20 to 30 times a day.  It’s event id 10100 and 6002, mostly 10100. Everything seems to be working but I want to get rid of this warning.

In Place Archiving - The user 'user@domain.com' archive mailbox is offline

$

Hi Team

Having some issues with this one - we have recently setup two of our in house users with in place archiving and it seemed to work for a good 3GB of their data - and then stopped.

When we try to run the command 

start-managedfolderassistant

We get the error: The user 'user@domain.com' Archive mailbox is offline.

Running 

Test-ArchiveConnectivity

Comes back perfectly fine - archive mailbox is online, able to be logged onto and used. We can browse the current files within said archive mailbox without issues.

But both of our users are unable to have any further emails archived. Both of their tests come back positive.

Ive recreated the archive mailbox. Created it on a brand new database. Same issue all over the place.

The only associated error we are seeing is in our event logs:

Error:
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ApplicationLogic.FailedToFindEwsEndpointException: The Exchange Web Service endpoint for LegacyDn: /o=Domain/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=b8a9b45bcc964c75bb18eb2eb1d95e01-SystemMailbox{e0dc, RecipientType: UserMailbox, RecipientTypeDetails: ArbitrationMailbox, Selected Mailbox: Display Name: Microsoft Exchange, Mailbox Guid: 20c6ff35-e431-44ab-a6ea-cd724eeb3916, Database: af13be22-7f53-4f94-b56b-dc39fb9b962b, Location: ServerFqdn: DB01.domain.com, ServerVersion: 1941996650, DatabaseName: MAILDB01, HomePublicFolderDatabaseGuid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 could not be found. ---> Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ApplicationLogic.VDirConfigurationMissingException: Could not locate Client Access Virtual Directory object with InternalUrl stamped for  service.

Prevent Sending with No Recipient in To: field?

$
0
0

I am running Exchange 2013 with latest SP. It is currently possible in my environment to send an email with no recipient in the TO field.  

For example: I can send a message by leaving TO blank and simply putting a recipient address in either CC or BCC.  The message will send without issue.  I would like to Require the TO field have at least 1 recipient.

Is it possible in Exchange 2013 to prevent users from sending a message with the TO field blank?  If so how?

Hi All,

I need some assistance in modifying the below script to display the total capacity of the mailbox database in the below script:

$xDays = 90
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize 50 -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox | Foreach-Object {
         $si = Get-MailboxFolderStatistics $_ -IncludeOldestAndNewestItems -FolderScope SentItems
         if($si.NewestItemReceivedDate -AND (New-TimeSpan $si.NewestItemReceivedDate.ToLocalTime()).Days -ge $xDays) {
            #$_
               New-Object PSObject -Property @{
                     Name = $_.Name
                     Alias = $_.Alias
                         PrimarySmtpAddress = $_.PrimarySmtpAddress
                         WhenCreated = $_.WhenCreated
                         Database = $_.Database
                     	 LastSentItemDate = $si.NewestItemReceivedDate
                         LastLogonTime = $si.LastLogonTime
                         MailboxSize = $si.TotalItemSize.Value
               }
      }
} | Select Name, Alias, PrimarySmtpAddress, LastSentItemDate, WhenCreated, LastLogonTime, Database, TotalItemSize | Sort LastSentItemDate | Export-Csv -Path C:\temp\90Days.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Somehow I cannot show the total Item size value in the Exported CSV result ?

451 4.4.0 "dns query failed" (Not solved)

In Edge Exchange 2010 we have some queues with this error: 451 4.4.0 "dns query failed". I know that those domains exists. Also, If I manually check DNS resolution, I can find MX records..

Edge server have 2 NIC. Internal NIC uses internal DNS Servers, External NIC uses external DNS Servers.

I've seen some forum, I've checked these things:

- Configure external connector to use External DNS lookup >>> It didn't solve the problem

- Execute "dnscmd /config /enableednsprobes 0" in internal DNS Servers >>> It didn't solve the problem

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.

Issue with the size of the public folder DB file

$

0

Hi,

Our client is having a strange issue with the size of the public folder DB file (Microsoft Exchange 2010 Std on a Windows 2008r2 Server).

On disk, the size of the DB is 137GB.  We used the following command to get the size of the public folders:

get-publicfolderstatistics -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object AdminDisplayName, TotalItemSize | ft >c:\PublicSize.txt

This gives a result of approximatively 30GB.  We also used the following command:

Get-PublicFolderDatabase -status | ft Name,databasesize, AvailableNewMailboxSpace

This gives a result of 137GB and 12GB of available space (white space). 

If we export the content of the public folders to a PST file, it gives us a 30GB file.  This is a lot less than 125GB (137GB - 12 GB of white space).

Any idea why there is such a big difference in size?

Thanks

I was getting the error of "The system load quota of 1000 requests per 2 seconds has been exceeded. Send future requests at a slower rate or raise the system quota." This morning. Performed a restart on the machine and was able to get into the EMC.

Now there is no access within our domain to outlook! All mobile users can access and email works there but no connection internally.

I need to get this going, im the Interim IT Admin and I could really use some help from someone, remote in and help me, or walk me through the steps? Im sure its just a simple way of pointing it to our domain but im not sure how to do that.

PLEASE HELP ASAP :(

Autodiscover record question

$
0
0

Hi,

This is something I have never been able to understand fully.

OK.

You install exchange server 2013, configure it and obtain a digital certificate for it.

Normally in my installations I have:

Common name = mail.domain.com

Subject Alternate names: autodiscover.domain.com, domain.com(this is added automatically by the CA even if you do not specify it). In many  cases domain.com points to the IP address of the business web server(ie shared linux hosting with the hosting provider digital certificate)

Then I configure external DNS to use A records to point to the public IP address of my mail server for mail.domain.com, autodiscover.domain.com

Internally I use split DNS and configure DNS with the same records, but to point to my internal IP address of my mail server.

When I setup Outlook clients internally (Outlook Anywhere is setup) I have no problems autoconfiguring. With external configuring (when the user is outside the office) it will prompt me with the domain\username combo(It think I can fix this by setting the UPN same as the email address)

But when I setup iphones or Androids, it does not autoconfigure. It stops at the screen asking for the mail server hostname.

Normally the hostname is domain.com instead of mail.domain.com. The reason, I believe, is because domain.com points to the webserver which has a different digital certificate provided by the hosting provider.

When I run exchange connectivity analyzer, it complains that domain.com is not in the SAN list, which I can understand because domain.com is pointing to a webserver with the hosting provider.

How can I set this up in a way that mobile device setup will fetch the correct hostname and autoconfiguration is not interrupted?

I know I can manually configure it myself, but I want it to be fool proof for the end user.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Exchange forwarding to SQL table

$

0

Hello everyone,

First of all, let me start by saying that I am not a programmer, but a systems administrator.

I was wondering how can one fetch e-mail messages from an Exchange 2013 user's mailbox and drop its attributes (like From, Subject, Body, To, etc) into a SQL Server 2012 database table.

Preferably, without coding and without third parties. Maybe, something like PowerShell or a SQL Server funcion...

Has anyone here ever needed this?

I've Googled without luck. Also, I know a solution involving forwarding to a mailbox under a Postfix (GNU/Linux) system and MySQL Server, but this would mean adding complexity to the overall solution.

Thanks a lot for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Bruno Martins

having issues getting backup exec 2014 to succesfully backup exchange 2013 so that i clears the database logs.  logs are over 400 GB right now.  have been moving mailboxes to DAG group, generating lots of logs, which have not been cleared in about a week.

error I see on backup exec is: 

MYDOMAIN-DAG01.mydomain.com\Microsoft Information Store\MydomainDB\Database" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.

VSS Snapshot warning. File E:\databaselogs\mydomaindblogs\E02*.log is not present on the snapshot.

VSS Snapshot warning. File E:\databaselogs\mydomaindblogs\E02.chk is not present on the snapshot.

BUT - both those files exist in the database folder.

also get error:

V-79-57344-34108 - An unexpected error occurred when cleaning up snapshot volumes. Confirm that all snapped volumes are correctly resynchronized with the original volumes.

I do NOT have shadow copy enabled on any of the volumes on the exchange server.

backup exec asked me to enable then disable shadow copy on the volumes, and try again, which I am doing now.

any other suggestions?
