Need to import 11TB of Mbox files into Exchagnge Online Archive

Looking for the easiest way to import a dump of our users GMail mailbox archives into the new Office 365 Exchange Online Archive mailboxes for the users.

We have 11 TB of data and Google gave it to us in Mbox format.

Any suggestions much appreciated.


How do I list all the Mailbox Calendars that are NOT set to AvailabilityOnly (Free/Busy)?

$

Hi,

We're in the process of migrating users from Exchange 2010 to Office 365 and have found that once a user is migrated, they cannot see the calendar of the users that aren't migrated.  This is because the "Default" permission on the non-migrated calendar is NOT set to "AvailabilityOnly" (which, I believe, would allow migrated users to view the calendar free/busy info).

I'm hoping I can run a command that will show me all the calendars on-prem that are NOT set to AvailabilityOnly, and then I can run this command on that list:

Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "user@domain.com:\Calendar" -User default -AccessRights AvailabilityOnly 

*** Note: I only want to run this on the calendars that are not already amended, as some may already have their default settings higher.  

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
Peter

Autodiscover Certificate Error on Shared Auto-mount Mailboxes

$
0
0

I'm trying to clean up Autodiscover a bit in our org to get away from using large SAN certs, and creating SRV records for any non-domain-joined machines to find the autodiscover server. We don't have external clients using Autodiscover, so for now I'm just focusing internally.

With our domain-joined computers when users auto-configure their own mailbox, the SCP lookup is successful and Outlook configures with no issues. No problem there.

However, when a user has other shared mailboxes auto-mounted within Outlook, certificate errors still appear. Does SCP not work for shared mailboxes? I've deleted all autodiscover.<emaildomain> entries and created the corresponding SRV records. However, we have some domains with wildcard DNS entries on *.emaildomain, so I still need to track these down to make sure that these resolutions return a 404 so that it uses the SRV record instead.

Anyway, the thrust of my question: Do auto-mounted shared mailboxes not use SCP?

Onprem to Exchange Online migration error

Hi Guys,

I'm migrating a shared mailboxes to the cloud and encountered errors on some of the mailboxes.

Is it safe to ignore the error / folders with corrupted items by just increasing the skip items or how can I correct the corrupted folders? Please see attached.

Thanks!

Hybrid Exchange - w/O365 - Free Busy w/Sister Org.

$

We previously had an On-Prem EX2010 box (Parent Company) which had Organizational Sharing (Free/Busy) setup with our child company who is already in 0365. This worked beautifully for months - team members from both companies could view free/busy details seamlessly.

We recently ran the HCW on the EX2010 (HQ) box and have been slowly migrating mailboxes to O365. This has worked great as well - good job MS! Slick Stuff!

We noticed that after we ran the HCW and started to migrate mailboxes to O365 that the Free/Busy checks to/from parent cloud -> child cloud accounts were failing.

Parent OnPrem <--> Parent OnPrem == Good (both ways)

Parent OnPrem <--> Parent O365 Migrated Mailbox == Good (both ways)

Parent OnPrem <--> Child Company Mailbox == Good (both ways)

Parent O365 Migrated Mailbox <--> Child Company 0365 Mailbox == FAIL (both ways)

- Autodiscover for parent company is still pointing to OnPrem.

- Autodiscover for child company is pointing to O365

- Parent O365 Sharing Policies include ChildDomain.com and ChildDomain.onmicrosoft.com - Autodiscover endpoint = autodiscover.outlook.com

- Child O365 Sharing Policies include parentdomain.com and parentdomain.onmicrosoft.com - Autodiscover endpoint = autodiscover.parentdomain.com - Application URI = FYDIBxxxxxxx.parentdomain.com

What I suspect is happening, is that the Child 0365 Mailbox is trying to get Free/Busy information for the Migrated Mailbox from the OnPrem box (as per the autodiscover endpoint reference) - and the OnPrem box doesn'tdirectly have the free/busy information for the migrated mailbox.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any recommendations? Any way to test my theory? I find it puzzling that its failing BOTH ways - how does the migrated mailbox identify himself to the child O365 instance? -- anything I'm overlooking here?

Would appreciate any help/suggestions you may have.

    Migrate from Lotus Domino to O365

    Hi,

    Is there a document on how manage the MX record during a migration from an on-premises Lotus Domino to Exchange Online? I've seen a technote related to Lotus Domino and Exchange 2013 in which it is possible to create an Internal Relay Connector to send email from Exchange to Domino.

    I think this is possible also on Exchange Online so during the migration I'll change the mx records pointing at Exchange Online and then create the relay connector: when the mailbox is still on the internal lotus domino, O365 will forward the email to the internal user, isn't it?

    Single item recovery in Exchange 2013

    0

    I am looking for some help in identifying the simplest process to recover a single item in Exchange 2013 in a scenario where the item is no longer available in the dumpster (i.e. a retained deleted item).

    In Exchange 2010 the process was:

    1. Restore the mailbox database from backup to the Recovery database
    2. Restore the item using the Restore-Mailbox cmdlet with the -AllContentKeywords parameter to identify and restore the individual item (or items) to a target folder in the user's mailbox.

    The Restore-Mailbox cmdlet is no longer available in Exchange 2013. 

    I guess one possible option is the following:

    1. Restore the mailbox database from backup to the Recovery database
    2. Restore the mailbox to a dummy mailbox (or Discovery Mailbox) using New-MailboxRestoreRequest.
    3. Use the Search-Mailbox cmdlet to find the item in the dummy mailbox and restore it to a target folder in the user's mailbox.

    It just seems like a very long-winded method to restore a single item. Any way to do this better?

    Hello, 

    we have a Exchange 2013 Server Standard Edition. (stand alone with Domaincontroller)

    We would like to divde  the 500 GB EDB Exchange Databases because they are to huge and in case of Corruption the whole company is in danger. Customer didn´t cliam about speed yet.

    Nearly all PCs have Outlook 2013 with Cachemodus off.  iPhones are in Use

    .  No DAG, Cirulate Transaction Logs is off (?), I mean our Veeam Backup truncate older logs well.

    Can you help me how to do it right?

    Goal:  divide 500 GB Database into 3 Pieces (or do you have a better Idea?)

    old_employees
    group1  (mixed users from all 3 departments)
    group2  (mixed users from all departments)


    Draft Action Plan:

    1. Check Backup Veeam Vmware Backup

    2. Check Eventlog for Exchange Database Error

    3. Keep in Mind that Search Index needs to be restored later

    4. Create new empty Database via ECP Webgui

    5. Sorry what else?

    Exchange 2013 Autodiscover 401 after WSUS removal

    $
    0

    Hi

    I'm fighting with non functioning autodiscover in Exchange 2013.

    This is an old Server 2012 box, running Exchange 2013 CU23. It had WSUS installed on the same machine, which got removed and resulted in HTTP 500 "Internal Server Error" on an Exchange virtual directory. After a bit of digging, I found a blog post relevant to the situation with ISS: 

    This was caused by the removal of the WSUS role on the server which removed almost all the files installed by the Windows Update Services but not the configuration written in the ApplicationHost.config file. The Applicationhost.config file tries to call the .dll installed by the WSUS Server but no longer exists on the system.

    From the Applicationhost.config file:

    <scheme name=”xpress” doStaticCompression=”false” doDynamicCompression=”true” dll=”C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll” staticCompressionLevel=”10″ dynamicCompressionLevel=”0″ />
    <scheme name=”xpress” doStaticCompression=”false” doDynamicCompression=”true” dll=”C:\Program Files\Update Services\Webservices\suscomp.dll” staticCompressionLevel=”10″ dynamicCompressionLevel=”0″ />

    Running the following command will remove all references to the module installed by WSUS.

    %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']


    The command listed in that article got things back up and running again apart from autodiscover.

    If I try to go to https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml, I get a password prompt. Literally no combination off username or password will get me past it. 

    Test-OutlookWebServices -Identity "user@externaldomain.com" -MailboxCredential(Get-Credential ADdomain\username) | Fl yields:

    [2019-09-10 22:53:23Z] Autodiscover response:
    System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

    Which tallies with not being able to auth if I go to the autodiscover URL.

    I've checked that the autodiscover URL is set correctly, auth methods are correct on the VD, reset the VD, and read just about every article I can find relating to that error and I'm still stuck. 

    Outlook prompts for a password at autodiscovery stage and also fails no matter what credentials I try to feed it. Setting up a profile manually (in old Outlook versions) works fine, as does mail flow, OWA and Activesync. 

    Any pointers much appreciated

    Many thanks!

    We are having Exchange 2013 environment with GALSync enabled with different domains. Users are seeing global address book by default which contains all users list across different domains. 
    I would like to create a new global address list which should have only our email enabled domain users (eg: *@contoso.com) and apply this GAL as default for all Users. Also the same has to apply for Rooms. Could anyone please help.

    Will this filter will work?
    New-GlobalAddressList –Name “GAL_Contoso” –RecipientFilter{ (RecipientType –eq ‘MailUser’) –and (Emailaddresses  -like *@contoso.com )}

    Multiple calendar invites being sent to the Attendee of a meeting request

    We are facing an issue with some of the meeting rooms, where when we schedule a meeting, once the Attendee accepts, it keeps on sending the meeting invite again, multiple times.

    We have checked the Organizer outlook and can see that it has triggered the entry multiple times, as it has entries in the Sent Items.

    We have checked for mobile, it is happening for users who don't have email configured on mobile's as well.

    This is happening mostly for users who are sending requests to the Meeting, not to individuals.

    Not sure what to check as this is a big problem now as lot of users are facing the problem.

    Getting inclined to delete the Meeting rooms , because I think they are the problem for this.

    If anyone has faced this issue, please suggest.

    Already checked google, but most of them are talking about IPhone etc, but most of them are not using phone at all, so looks like its something else.

    Even moved the Resource Mailboxes to different DB's.

    Repeated Event 1121 listing database that no longer exists

    $
    0
    0

    Long story short we had a situation where we ran out of space on the disk hosting the Exchange databases.  The end result was one of our 5 databases became corrupt and required a repair.  Repair was mostly successful and once it was back online we moved all the mailboxes from that database to our other database.  All of them moved except for three which failed the move.

    So since we use Outlook in cache mode we exported out those three users mailboxes to a PST, delete their mailboxes from the server, deleted the corrupt/repaired database, and recreated those three users mailboxes.  Once they were created we pulled all their mail back in from the PST file.

    Everything was back to normal except now we are getting three Event 1121 errors every minute which I have to assume is the left over move requests for the three mailboxes that failed moving based on the error:

    The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service was unable to process a request due to an unexpected error.
    Request GUID: '(RequestGUID)'
    Database GUID: '(ExistingGoodDatabaseGUID)'
    Error: Database '(FormerBadGUID)' doesn't exist.

    So this is correct, that database doesn't exist.   Problem is I can't find the requests anywhere.  "Get-MoveRequest", "Get-MailboxImportRequest", and "Get-MailboxExportRequest" all come back blank.  I went into ADSI under Config -> Services -> Exchange -> ORG -> Mailbox Replication -> and there are no requests in any of the folders.  A"Remove-MoveRequest" using the info from the error said the mailbox database doesn't exist (which is true).    I also went into each of the three affected users in ADSI and made sure the"msExchMailboxMoveRequest" and "msExchMailboxMoveStatus" flags were not set (they weren't).

    IIS has been restarted, server has been restarted, even did the last cumulative update and the errors were there before and after the CU.  Not sure what else to do at this point.

    I have 2 networks (A & B) connected using routers and the Internet.

    Each network has an Exchange 2010 server and both are in the same organization and email works fine.

    On network B, the router died and killed the site2site VPN

    I temporarily connected the B network to the internet and have the mailserverB do a manual VPN to networkA fine. I notice now MailsvrB has a different IP address.

    Great, now both email servers can ping each other, I thought.

    When I force email to be delivered from MailsvrB to MailsvrB, it doesn't work. 

    The problem is that When I force emailsvrB to deliver email to emailsvrA, I think emailsvrA is expecting emailsvrB to be a the original email address.  I get this error in the mail queue.   "451.4.4.0 Primary target IP address responded with "454.70 Temporary authen…"

    Unable to Manage custom forms in Exchange 2013 Public Folders or Organizational Forms Library

    $
    0

    We've been doing custom forms development for many years and many versions of Exchange.  This Exchange 2013 presented me with this new problem.  We use Exchange 2013 with Cumulative Update 5, and Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013.  This problem happens on all versions of the latest patched Outlooks.

    1) I have successfully created a Public Folder and an Organizational Forms Library

    2) I have granted myself "Owner" privilege to the entire public folder in both the IPM_Subtree and the Non_IPM_Subtree

    3) I can publish forms into a Public Folder and the Organizational Forms Library

    But, after the form is published, I can't manage it.  The COPY, UPDATE, DELETE, PROPERTIES, and SAVE AS buttons are greyed out.

    This does not happen for anything in my Personal Forms, my Mailbox or anything in Favorites that are locally cached.

    Since the Organizational Forms Library cannot be "Cached" by putting it in Favorites, there seems to be NO way to even delete a form that is published to there.

    The closest link that describes a similar (maybe same) problem is http://www.michev.info/Blog/Post/14/Unable-to-manage-Forms-in-Outlook

    A) Anybody else have the same problem?

    B) Since it seems I only have control over forms in my Mailbox, and since Public Folders are suppose to be an mailbox, does anyone know how to setup a Public Folder so that you can login to it and attach it as a mailbox?

    C) Does anyone know how to make the Organizational Forms Library cached locally so it can be managed?
