Inbound/Outbound Mail Stats

[Miller Bonnie L .]

Exchange 2007 SP1, one server with all roles.  What is the best way to get 
numbers that show our average inbound (received)/outbound (sent) mail stats per 
day?  We are looking for numbers of messages that travel to/from the Internet.

We do not currently have anything like MOM nor SCCM, but will be bringing in 
SCCM at some point if that could help.  If there are specific performance 
counters to track, that works for me-just don't know which ones to look at.  If 
Exchange already stores this data somewhere and I just need to pull it, even 
better.

RE: DPM 2007 & Exchange 2007

I use DPM for my Exchange 2007 boxes. I use it for your latter scenario as I 
find SCR to be a better solution for my "in case or fire break glass" option. 
DPM will do full restores of the server if you want it to though, there are

Does anyone here use DPM as their backup solution for Exchange 2007?  If so I 
have a couple of what if's to bounce off of you guys.


1)  Say you use DPM2007 as your sole backup method for exchange, and your 
exchange server say... was in a computer room fire and got sprayed with water 
and is completely trash (hypothetical).  Is it possible to install exchange 
2007 on a new server and restore from dpm and be back up and running or is it 
best suited for "oops I deleted my 'important mail' folder" restores?

2)  If the latter, what is the best method for baremetal restores of a 
trashed exchange server?

Outlook / Exchange Rules.

I'm trying to setup a rule that says..

If an email has "rfp" in the subject, forward it to rfp folder, UNLESS the 
sender is in the Global Address List.

However, when I run the rule, the exact opposite happens.  Senders from the GAL 
go to the rfp folder and senders from outside the domain go to the INBOX.  
Pardon?

RE: Exchange server 2003 migration to a new Exchange 2003 server in a new organization.

[Kevan Dickinson]

I have moved a few test users using ADMT (Migrated roaming profiles, SID
history etc which completed with no errors) and then moved there
mailboxes using the Exchange Migration wizard.

 

I thought that having moved the mailbox and logged on in the new domain
Outlook automatically should find the new exchange server.

 

This is not happening.

 

Worse If I try to manually change the Outlook Profile to look for the
New Exchange server I get an error message. 



"The Name could not be resolved. The Name could not be matched to a name
in the address list."

 

Have I missed something basic?

Thank you for your reply.

 

Is pfmigrate going to work between exchange servers in different
organizations?

All the documents I have found so far talk about moving public folders
between servers in the same organization.

 

We don't have a front end Exchange server at the moment, but it would be
a good use for the old Exchange server once we have migrated everyone
off of it.

Well for moving mailboxes there's the "Exchange migration wizard".
Google that and you'll get some documentation.

 

For moving public folders, "pfmigrate" is your google keyword.

 

RPC over https:  If you have a FE server for your current org, you'd
uninstall it from the current org and re-install it to the new org, now
you've got RPC over https into the new org.  Of course this could
potentially allow RPC over https for any mailboxes, not just the ones at
your location, so get approval from the parent company before doing
this.  Not using a FE server?  Shame on you.

 

Generally speaking an OWA server has access to any mailbox in the org.
If you want to reduce across-the-pond WAN traffic, you use the
aforementioned FE server for OWA access as well.

Unfortunately although they are a larger company with more IT staff and

I am working with them to do this migration.

I can find plenty of information about adding a new exchange server to

Have you asked these questions of the mail admins at the new parent

RE: Inbound/Outbound Mail Stats

[Campbell, Rob]

I hacked this out of a script I already had written.  If you schedule
this to run once a day, it should accumulate the internet email stats
from the previous day to a .csv file.  

 

You'll need to change the $ht variable to the name of your server.  

 

You can go back farther than one day to back fill by manipulating the
$rundate variable. $today - 1d will get the stats from yesterday.  If
you change it to $today -2d it will get the stats from the day before
yesterday, etc. within the limit of your message tracking log retention.

 

It has to run on an E2K7 server, or a workstation with the Exchange
Management Shell installed.

 

If you want to use it with SCCM you can modify it to write an event to
the application event log with the data, and have SCCM pick up and
report on that event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$today = get-date

$ht = "server name here"

 

$headings = '"Date","Sent","Send MB","Received","Receive MB"'

$rundate = $($today - 1d).toshortdatestring()

$outfile = "internet_email_stats.csv"

 

if (!(test-path $outfile)){ac $outfile $headings}

Exchange 2007 SP1, one server with all roles.  What is the best way to get 
numbers that show our average inbound (received)/outbound (sent) mail stats per 
day?  We are looking for numbers of messages that travel to/from the Internet.

We do not currently have anything like MOM nor SCCM, but will be bringing in 
SCCM at some point if that could help.  If there are specific performance 
counters to track, that works for me-just don't know which ones to look at.  If 
Exchange already stores this data somewhere and I just need to pull it, even 
better.

Thanks,
Bonnie

Now it looks like everything is going into the rfp folder, regardless of

I'm trying to setup a rule that says..

If an email has "rfp" in the subject, forward it to rfp folder, UNLESS the 
sender is in the Global Address List.

However, when I run the rule, the exact opposite happens.  Senders from the GAL 
go to the rfp folder and senders from outside the domain go to the INBOX.  
Pardon?

Has anybody else ran into this?  We're using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2007.

Here is the rule line for line in the rules wizard


Apply this rule after the message arrives
With rfp in the subject
Move it to the rfp folder
Except if the sender is in Global Address List Address Book.

Seems pretty straight forward to me.

I hacked this out of a script I already had written.  If you schedule
this to run once a day, it should accumulate the internet email stats
from the previous day to a .csv file.  

 

You'll need to change the $ht variable to the name of your server.  

 

You can go back farther than one day to back fill by manipulating the
$rundate variable. $today - 1d will get the stats from yesterday.  If
you change it to $today -2d it will get the stats from the day before
yesterday, etc. within the limit of your message tracking log retention.

 

It has to run on an E2K7 server, or a workstation with the Exchange
Management Shell installed.

 

If you want to use it with SCCM you can modify it to write an event to
the application event log with the data, and have SCCM pick up and
report on that event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$today = get-date

$ht = "server name here"

 

$headings = '"Date","Sent","Send MB","Received","Receive MB"'

$rundate = $($today - 1d).toshortdatestring()

I've to the CTP V2 version installed on my workstation.  If I test it on

Exchange 2007 SP1, one server with all roles.  What is the best way to
get numbers that show our average inbound (received)/outbound (sent)
mail stats per day?  We are looking for numbers of messages that travel
to/from the Internet.

 

We do not currently have anything like MOM nor SCCM, but will be
bringing in SCCM at some point if that could help.  If there are
specific performance counters to track, that works for me-just don't
know which ones to look at.  If Exchange already stores this data
somewhere and I just need to pull it, even better.

 

Thanks,
Bonnie

Wow Rob, that is really cool.  And, it's forcing me to learn a little

So, I added my servername and changed the outfile to a path that exists

I hacked this out of a script I already had written.  If you schedule
this to run once a day, it should accumulate the internet email stats
from the previous day to a .csv file.  

 

You'll need to change the $ht variable to the name of your server.  

 

You can go back farther than one day to back fill by manipulating the
$rundate variable. $today - 1d will get the stats from yesterday.  If
you change it to $today -2d it will get the stats from the day before
yesterday, etc. within the limit of your message tracking log retention.

 

It has to run on an E2K7 server, or a workstation with the Exchange
Management Shell installed.

 

If you want to use it with SCCM you can modify it to write an event to
the application event log with the data, and have SCCM pick up and
report on that event.

Powershell is good stuff!

One more change you can add if you want to accumulate the stats monthly.

These two lines replace setting the $outfile variable.

$lrundate = $today.adddays(-1)
$outfile = "internet_email_stats_" + $lrundate.month + "_" + $lrundate.year +

This results in an output file name with the month and year embedded.  The 
result is that the script will start a new csv file for each month.  You can 
change the "internet_email_stats_ " to whatever you want, but leave the rest if 
you want to accumulate the stats montly.

I hacked this out of a script I already had written.  If you schedule this to 
run once a day, it should accumulate the internet email stats from the previous 
day to a .csv file.

You'll need to change the $ht variable to the name of your server.

You can go back farther than one day to back fill by manipulating the $rundate 
variable. $today - 1d will get the stats from yesterday.  If you change it to 
$today -2d it will get the stats from the day before yesterday, etc. within the 
limit of your message tracking log retention.

It has to run on an E2K7 server, or a workstation with the Exchange Management 
Shell installed.

If you want to use it with SCCM you can modify it to write an event to the 
application event log with the data, and have SCCM pick up and report on that 
event.

RE: Exchange server 2003 migration to a new Exchange 2003 server in a new organization.

[Carl Houseman]

Profiles only self-resolve to a new Exchange server when the mailbox is
moved within the same org.   You're going to have to edit or recreate
Outlook profiles for all users.  This can be automated with ExProfRe:

Regarding manually changing the Outlook profile, have you changed the DNS of
the client machine to point to the AD DNS of the new forest that contains
the new Exchange server?  Can you resolve other existing mailboxes in the
new org?   Have you waited long enough for the RUS to finish doing its
thing?

I have moved a few test users using ADMT (Migrated roaming profiles, SID
history etc which completed with no errors) and then moved there mailboxes
using the Exchange Migration wizard.

 

I thought that having moved the mailbox and logged on in the new domain
Outlook automatically should find the new exchange server.

 

This is not happening.

 

Worse If I try to manually change the Outlook Profile to look for the New
Exchange server I get an error message. 

"The Name could not be resolved. The Name could not be matched to a name in
the address list."

 

Have I missed something basic?

Or just use Outlook against old server copy the PF's from server to a PST,

Thank you for your reply.

 

Is pfmigrate going to work between exchange servers in different
organizations?

All the documents I have found so far talk about moving public folders
between servers in the same organization.

 

We don't have a front end Exchange server at the moment, but it would be a
good use for the old Exchange server once we have migrated everyone off of
it.

Well for moving mailboxes there's the "Exchange migration wizard".  Google
that and you'll get some documentation.

 

For moving public folders, "pfmigrate" is your google keyword.

 

RPC over https:  If you have a FE server for your current org, you'd
uninstall it from the current org and re-install it to the new org, now
you've got RPC over https into the new org.  Of course this could
potentially allow RPC over https for any mailboxes, not just the ones at
your location, so get approval from the parent company before doing this.
Not using a FE server?  Shame on you.

 

Generally speaking an OWA server has access to any mailbox in the org.  If
you want to reduce across-the-pond WAN traffic, you use the aforementioned
FE server for OWA access as well.

Hi

 

Unfortunately although they are a larger company with more IT staff and more
users than we have. (About 500 compared to our 200), they have no more
experience of doing this than I have.

 

I am working with them to do this migration.

 

So any thoughts or tips to point me at the correct documentation would be
helpful.

 

I can find plenty of information about adding a new exchange server to an
existing organization and migrating users from one server to another but not
so much information regarding a cross forest migration.

Powershell is good stuff!

 

One more change you can add if you want to accumulate the stats monthly.

 

These two lines replace setting the $outfile variable.

 

$lrundate = $today.adddays(-1)

$outfile = "internet_email_stats_" + $lrundate.month + "_" + $lrundate.year

This results in an output file name with the month and year embedded.  The
result is that the script will start a new csv file for each month.  You can
change the "internet_email_stats_ " to whatever you want, but leave the rest
if you want to accumulate the stats montly.

 

 

 

 

 

$today = get-date

 

$ht = ""

 

$headings = '"Date","Sent","Send MB","Received","Receive MB"'
