RE: OWA between sites

2011-02-03 Thread Nicholas Turner
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.

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?

logging to the server or attaching to Exchange with Outlook locally or

using her credentials from several machines, and get rejected as well.

The error received is You could not be logged on to Outlook Web Access.
Ensure that your user name and password are correct, and then try again.
She does have the OWA permissions. She is the only one who cannot login to
OWA.

I had thought I saw this discussed here before, but was not able to find
anything. Any pointers where to look to resolve this issue?

Subject: Shared Travel Calendar?

I just received this request:

The request came up that we have a shared manager's travel calendar.  
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.


I'm not familiar with anything in Exchange that will do this, but I thought I 
would ask. If anyone has a keyword to Google, I'd appreciate it.

MigrateUMCustomPrompts.ps1

2011-02-03 Thread Russ Patterson
Anybody had any experience with MigrateUMCustomPrompts.ps1?

 I'm in the middle of a 2007 - 2101 sp1 UM migration (soon to be
followed by mailboxes.) I've read lots of confusing stuff about
import-UMPrompt and Copy-UMCustomprompt  and then I find a blog that
implies that all you need is this script from the E2010sp1 bin/scripts
directory.

UM is my big weakness (that and scripting) - I'd like some
reassurances - or at least wiser input about this piece. I'd love some
reading recommendations too (don't be afraid to start with UM for
Dummies, either!)

Thanks as always.

Database wont shrink  unless you perform offline defrag and take the white 
space out of it.( this isn’t a good thing to do in general , create new DB and 
move MB into it is way better option in many cases) By saying this, when you 
moved out Let’s say 1 Gig worth the data from Exchange database, on the first 
online maintenance Exchange will mark these space as “Usable” and make it 
available to use again next time.

So think as a bucket holds bunch of e-mails ( which grows all the times (-: , 
which is the Exchange database itself, if you your bucket is 10 gig today , 
your backup is 10 Gig each time you do the backup, if you take 5 gig out the 
bucket , you still backup  10 gig since you are baking up the bucket itself and 
that is what you see from windows perspective, even in reality half of the 
bucket is empty,( White space)  Exchange will see the space and re-use it, 
without making the bucket bigger, when there is no white space to use, your 
bucket will start getting bigger and bigger so on…..

I hope this helps a bit

Inherited Security Settings, Exchange 2003

2011-02-03 Thread Phil Hershey
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?

Something to do with adminsdholder, perhaps?

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?

 

Thanks.

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.

This should allow you to see the security settings of your Exhange org,
including the default deny permissions that are propagating down.  (If I
understand the issue, which may not be the case...)

Please be very careful playing about in there.  :)

RE: Unable to remove additional mailboxs in Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010?

2011-02-03 Thread Brad Metzler
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.

Riddle me this:

Added three additional mailboxes to Outlook 2010 to assist HR with something.
Later, removed those three mailboxes from the profile.
Next day, noticed they still show up on the left under my list of mailboxes.
Check additional mailbox tab in the profile, not there.
Right-click to close, and get a notice saying to remove from the profile.
Go back to the profile, they don't appear as additional mailboxes, nothing to 
remove.
Make new profile, they're still there.
Go to new computer with Outlook 2010 and log in for the first time, make new 
profile, and they as still there as well.

It appears the server side is somehow making these mailboxes always show up in 
my list. Anyone know why? They don't show up in OWA or Outlook 2007, so I'm 
guessing it's an Exchange/Outlook 2010 feature? Thanks

That did it!  Thank you.  The deny was set at the administrative group level.  
This wasn’t actually the domain admins default group, but a ‘network admins’ 
group that’s internal.  Just thought nobody would know what group I was talking 
about.  J

Added three additional mailboxes to Outlook 2010 to assist HR with something.
Later, removed those three mailboxes from the profile.
Next day, noticed they still show up on the left under my list of mailboxes.
Check additional mailbox tab in the profile, not there.

Actually, they are part of the results returned from autodiscover. A nasty 
feature, IMO.

If you remove your permissions from them, they should disappear.

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.

Already tried killing OST's on new profiles, but more importantly, same problem

Go to new computer with Outlook 2010 and log in for the first time, make new

It appears the server side is somehow making these mailboxes always show up in

High Writes Per Second, Trans Logs, and Event ID 602

2011-02-03 Thread Andrew Greene
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.

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: Unable to remove additional mailboxes in Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010?

2011-02-03 Thread Brad Metzler
Thanks Simon,

For the purposes of this list I will point out from the linked article that the 
attribute msExchDelegateListLink can be edited to remove people from your 
mailbox without removing your full permissions to the mailbox. I haven't tested 
this myself but it appears that is a possible workaround when needed. Article 
it is a good read though to understand how and when this new feature actually 
works or is invoked.

Thanks guys!

Brad

They really do need to add a way to control this feature by admins...

yes but ... it's not supported to individually edit the values.

The KB tells you how to CLEAR the attribute.

Not that the support stance would stop me, and I know you are technically 
competent enough to do it properly, but in the general case - recommending that 
is a bad idea.

Re: High Writes Per Second, Trans Logs, and Event ID 602

2011-02-03 Thread Andrew Greene
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.
I guess I didn't realize that ActiveSync events created the trans logs in
Exchange.

I guess I'm just at a loss for what a user can be doing on their smartphone
that it does this when we've got a couple dozen other Droid + iPhone users
that can't produce the same problem.

 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.

Gmail has the one you sent plus the one you received.

You can configure your subscription so that you don't get sent a copy of 
messages you post.

Insofar as your spikes - you can find a tool called ExMon and it'll show you 
the user(s) causing all the activity. Make sure you get the Exchange 2003 
version.

Subject: 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. I guess I 
didn't realize that ActiveSync events created the trans logs in Exchange.

I guess I'm just at a loss for what a user can be doing on their smartphone 
that it does this when we've got a couple dozen other Droid + iPhone users that 
can't produce the same problem.

Subject: 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.

 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.

RE: Forefront/antispamagent question

2011-02-03 Thread Steve Hart
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.

Subject: Forefront/antispamagent question

I am currently experimenting in a test environment with Forefront Protection 
2010 for Exchange and have it installed on some Hub Transport servers. 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.
