RE: OWA between sites
I had exactly the same problem yesterday, turned out that OWA didn't like me running forms based authentication on the remote site and the popup login on the central cas server. I now have basic and windows auth turned on both sites and it works now. As far as I could tell the remote site wasn't allowing the central site to proxy. Nick Turner From: Steve Hart [mailto:sh...@wrightbg.com] Sent: 02 February 2011 22:18 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OWA between sites I'm not sure if this made it to the list yesterday. I have two Exchange 2007 servers in two AD sites. Each server is in its own 2003 AD domain. The domains are trusted and it's all part of the same Exchange organization. OWA works fine on each server and has for a long time. We have a new request where users in one domain/server/site want to access mailboxes in the other domain/server/site using OWA. I've already set up the mailbox permissions. When the users attempt to open another email box on a different server, they receive the error Outlook Web Access is not available. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization and tell them the following: There is no Microsoft Exchange Client Access server that has the necessary configuration in the Active Directory site where the mailbox is stored. Since I'm the technical support, I suppose I should have an answer. :) Googling this has led to a few ideas including rerunning Exchange setup /adprep and reinstalling IIS. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution. One site talked about Basic authentication vs. Windows authentication and the Internal vs. external URLs. I've run Get-OWAVirtualDirectory and here are the relevant snippets of output. Corp-Exchange.wrightbg.com WI-Exchange07.wbgppm.com BasicAuthentication True True WindowsAuthentication False False InternalURL https://mail.wrightbg/com/owa https://wi-exchange07.wbgppm.com/owa ExternalURL (None) (None) Is fixing my problem as simple as configuring the external URLs? If so, what should they be? --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.commailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist This electronic message contains information from CACI International Inc or subsidiary companies, which may be confidential, proprietary, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Basically, this would be separate from personal calendars but would allow managers to have visibility into each others travel schedules. This would be helpful as people plan their trips to different locations. Can you give us some options for setting this up and how it would integrate with Outlook? All managers are not interested in sharing all parts of their existing calendar. So, another option could be controlling the visibility of individual items on the personal calendars.

Inherited Security Settings, Exchange 2003
Good day, all. Odd situation I cannot seem to figure out. Suddenly as a domain admin I was unable yesterday to get into a users mailbox. I needed to check the Sent Items (Outlook '03) for a possible DLP issue. While I could add the mailbox to my profile, I was unable to open it. In checking things out I found that there was a new inherited Deny setting for the Domain Admins group. Inherited at the data store, and inherited from parent object at the server level. What I cannot figure out is from what object it is being inherited. There's no permissions tab at the administrative group or organization levels. What is it I'm looking for?

RE: Inherited Security Settings, Exchange 2003
Thanks, Richard, but that didn’t cover it. When looking at the permissions for the group, both explicit permits and denies are checked, and they’re greyed out. The Advanced view shows they’re inherited from “Parent Object”, but I cannot find that object. In the Advanced screen, adding a full access permit didn’t solve the issue. Seems to me that for as long as I can remember in Windows, a Deny overrides any and all Permits, correct? Perhaps I’m just having a major brain fart though.

RE: Unable to remove additional mailboxs in Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010?
Back again, Still baffled on this, but more information. Our network admin was kind enough to detach my mailbox to change types which apparently blew away all of my exchange attributes (quotes, smtp addresses, etc...). Interestingly enough, after this I am still having the problem with those extra mailboxes showing up in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2007. Sometimes on the client they will show up in the list of additional mailboxes, but removing them is ineffective as they show right back up in the folder list a few minutes later but no longer in the additional mailbox list. It would seem these connections are not part of exchange attributes but something actually stored in/with my mailbox. They're not part of the Outlook profile as I have deleted and created a new one several times. In-fact I have created new windows profiles and new Outlook profiles on two clients and have the same issue. I have no desire to delete and recreate my mailbox quite yet so still looking for other ideas.

High Writes Per Second, Trans Logs, and Event ID 602
List, Wanted to see if I could enlist your help to at least point me in the right direction on an issue we're having with our Exchange 2003 server running on Windows Server 2003. This primarily has to do with our disks which are two separate hardware RAIDs. One RAID is broken up into two logical drives - C: for system files and F: for Exchange transaction logs. The other RAID is one logical drive D: which houses all of our Exchange databases. Our last complete backup completed yesterday at around 7:00am and since then we have noticed three things occurring: 1. The server is generating an inordinately high amount of transaction logs for our organization at almost 40GB - a normal day for us can produce ~4GB. 2. The number of disk writes is also abnormally high. Using perfmon I've observed the writes/sec at an average of over 1,000 and highs of over 5,500. 3. Event ID 602 appeared in our event viewer. This event basically tells us to perform an offline defragmentation of the databases. We have four mailbox stores that range in size (107GB, 57GB, 12GB, and 10GB). I've scheduled a maintenance window for this weekend to perform the offline defrag as recommended by the event error. The only thing that we've done recently is that a couple of weeks ago we deleted a number of mailboxes (~50) as part of a measure to stay under our GFI MailArchiver license count. None of the mailboxes were particularly large. I wanted to find out if anyone else had experienced anything like this before or if anyone had run into Event ID 602 before. Any help, even to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Re: High Writes Per Second, Trans Logs, and Event ID 602
We've had several iPhones for a few years. I did find a user account that was kicking an ActiveSync error every now and again (pretty sure he's a DroidX user). When I disable that user's mobile options everything seems to return to normal. My average writes/sec right now are ~4 with a max of 400.

Re: High Writes Per Second, Trans Logs, and Event ID 602
I turned OMA and friends back on and the performance issue so far hasn't returned, so I'm a little less inclined to think that it as much to do with this user and perhaps more to do with the vast majority of our users leaving for the day around 4:00pm. I'm getting spikes and small plateaus (mesas, perhaps?), but it's not maxing out the writes/sec perfmon graph like it was before at all. By the way, I'm not sure if I'm double-posting to the list or not - each of my messages is showing up twice in GMail.

Our last complete backup completed yesterday at around 7:00am and since then we have noticed three things occurring: 1. The server is generating an inordinately high amount of transaction logs for our organization at almost 40GB - a normal day for us can produce ~4GB. 2. The number of disk writes is also abnormally high. Using perfmon I've observed the writes/sec at an average of over 1,000 and highs of over 5,500. 3. Event ID 602 appeared in our event viewer. This event basically tells us to perform an offline defragmentation of the databases. We have four mailbox stores that range in size (107GB, 57GB, 12GB, and 10GB). I've scheduled a maintenance window for this weekend to perform the offline defrag as recommended by the event error. The only thing that we've done recently is that a couple of weeks ago we deleted a number of mailboxes (~50) as part of a measure to stay under our GFI MailArchiver license count. None of the mailboxes were particularly large. I wanted to find out if anyone else had experienced anything like this before or if anyone had run into Event ID 602 before. Any help, even to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

RE: Forefront/antispamagent question
If I remember correctly (admittedly not always the case), Forefront 2010 leverages the Exchange Anti-Spam tools for a portion of its work. I think that includes whitelists and blacklists. When I installed Forefront on a server with the Anti-Spam agents previously installed, it brought many of my settings forward and just presented a much prettier interface with more reporting data. One surprise was that it turned off the Exchange content filtering and utilized its own. Created a big problem because that is an organization level setting and we had other Exchange servers suddenly with no Content Filtering at all.

I have been testing safe sender and block lists from user mailboxes and FPE is not using them. I ran across some info on adding the AntiSpamAgent to the Hub Transport roles and with this enabled the lists are now working. It seems to me that FPE should do this without having to install the AntiSpamAgent on the Hub Transport server, is there a setting I am missing to accomplish that, or is it only accomplished by the AntiSpamAgent? I wonder because in the technet docs I have read relating to safe senders it only mentions the Edge server role as filtering based on those lists. We have postfix at our perimeter and do not plan to use Edge Transport any time soon and minus this have no other need for the AntiSpamAgent on the Hub Transport.
