Re: AD site for Exchange 2010

[Richard Stovall]

Great.  Thank you.  Running dcdiag earlier, I did see that there were a
number of machines on the network that were affected as you describe.  The
netlogon.log file hasn't changed since I deleted the new site, and dcdiag
is now coming back without errors.  My workstation was one of the ones with
issues, but nltest /dsgetdc:domain.name shows that it's back in the default
site.  I think I'm back in business.

All the help is very much appreciated,
Richard

Re: AD site for Exchange 2010

[Steve Kradel]

You got it - these records are a result of DCs saying "I am
authoritative for this site" (whether as a result of being located in
the site, or by being close to the site if it has no DCs).  The actual
subnet-to-site mappings only live in AD, and "nltest /dsgetdc" is the
best way to confirm that a client knows its site.  If you have some
clients with no site, they will appear in windows\debug\netlogon.log
on the DC.

Re: AD site for Exchange 2010

Oh.  I think I get it.*  Am I looking for the static records for each DC in
zonename |_sites | default-first-site-name | _tcp ?  If so, they were
already there for all the DCs by the time I looked.

* And if I'm wrong, then I'm even more embarrassed...

Re: AD site for Exchange 2010

[Steve Kradel]

Yes, AD and things that depend on AD will generally do fine with one
site and no subnet mappings at all.  Once there are two or more sites,
you must map every client to a site via ADS&S or things will start to
go off the rails.

Go ahead and create a second, larger subnet for the site, wait a
decent interval, and check the DNS registrations.  If all is well you
can (if you like) delete the unneeded too-small subnet object.

The question was long, but the answer is short. ;)

RE: AD site for Exchange 2010

[Michael B. Smith]

Too many questions.

Force the Exchange server into a particular site:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc937923.aspx

Then fix everything.

(Note: other applications may need the same treatment as Exchange.)

Subject: AD site for Exchange 2010

-- Long message below.  Please pardon the verbosity. --

Part one - one question at the end.

I am incorporating a second physical location to $work.  I had been pondering a 
child domain for the new location, but the reasons for possibly going in that 
direction have been mitigated, and I have decided to just join the second 
location to my single domain forest.

In preparation for installing a DC at the new location, I created a subnet and 
site in ADSS.  I have not yet added the machine that will be the new DC to the 
domain.

A few minutes after creating the new site, Exchange (single server with all 
roles) stopped accepting client connections and started borking on processing 
mail  (14 messages wound up in the poison message queue).

I gleaned from the Exchange server's Application log that Exchange could not 
determine what AD site it is in.  (Event 2501 - Process MSEXCHANGEADTOPOLOGY 
(PID=1580). The site monitor API was unable to verify the site name for this 
Exchange computer - Call=DsGetSiteNameW Error code=800703e5. Make sure that 
Exchange server is correctly registered on the DNS server.)

Googling led me to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2025528 which gave me an 
idea of how to resolve the immediate issues with Exchange.  Sure enough, nltest 
/dsgetsite reported "Getting DC name failed: Status = 1919 0x77f 
ERROR_NO_SITENAME".  I deleted the new site, checked AD replication, then 
restarted the Exchange AD Topology service (which also restarted a host of 
other dependent services).  Nltest /dsgetsite then reported 
"Default-First-Site-Name".

All is seemingly back to normal, the App and System logs look good, I've 
released the messages that got put into the poison message queue, mail is 
flowing normally, OWA works again, and Outlook Anywhere is functioning.

Question regarding this event - Is there anything else I should look at or be 
aware of as far as Exchange is concerned after an event like this?


Part two - How to fix the underlying problem? - Two questions at the end.

I took a closer look at ADSS and discovered a couple of things.  The HQ domain 
was created in 2002 and has some odd quirks related to DNS name etc, but I had 
never noticed something about the single ADSS subnet before.  It is named 
x.x.200.192/26, but our production subnet is really x.x.200.0/23.  The Exchange 
server's ip is x.x.200.216, so by pure coincidence it does actually fall into 
the too-small /26 defined in ADSS.  Also coincidentally, my 3 HQ DCs fall into 
the /26 range as well since they are x.x.200.246, x.x.200.247 and x.x.200.249.

The next oddity is that if I view the subnet's properties in ADSS, it is not 
associated with the Default-First-Site-Name.  I can choose that site from the 
drop-down list of sites, but it is blank right now.

My guess is that Exchange hasn't had issues with finding the site before 
because there was only one.  My supposition is that if I associate the existing 
/26 subnet definition with the site Default-First-Site-Name, that Exchange will 
be able to stay in the the correct site after adding an additional one for the 
new remote facility.

Question one - are these assumptions likely correct?

Question two - How can I correct the too-small subnet definition?  Is it 
possible to edit the subnet, or should I look at creating a new, correctly 
defined subnet that could eventually replace the current one?

I hope this all makes sense, and I apologize again for the length.

Any thoughts or suggestions are most welcome.

Richard

RE: Exchange 2010 backup using native tools

[Michael B. Smith]

You have to add "-vssfull" and put the path to the log files in the "-include" 
parameter.

So

Wbadmin start backup -vssfull -include:d:,c:\program 
files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\mailbox\

Depending on how you are calling wbadmin, that might take some fancy quoting to 
get right.

Subject: Exchange 2010 backup using native tools

My google fu isn't working well today.

Exchange 2010 on Windows 2008 R2.
Drive C: System drive, and E2k transaction logs (in c:\program 
files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\mailbox\x (where x is the mailbox 
name)).
Drive D: EDB files

When I do a full backup (I use command line wbadmin with -include c:,d: ) the 
files all get backed up, transaction logs are truncated, and everything appears 
to work as expected. This runs weekly.

I'm trying to do a daily full backup of just the EDB files, which will also 
truncate the log files. If I run wbadmin with -include d:, it just backs up the 
EDB files, and does nothing with the transaction log files.

Should I move the transaction log files to d:? Would that fix my problem? I 
don't think we get enough traffic through Exchange for this option to be a 
performance problem. There is lots of space on D:, so that's not an issue 
either.

Is there another alternative (not using 3rd party backup solutions)?

Thanks in advance.

RE: E2010SP1 Max Folder Depth / Max Folder Path Length?

[Wright, Seth - wrightst]

I'll go back through the event logs again for more info and see if I can dig 
anything else up.

As for using an online profile for Outlook, I don't know what mode the student 
was in, but I probably tried in cached mode.  I don't remember what mode the 
profile was in for my MFCMAPI trials, but I can go back and check.  Using 
MFCMAPI I tried soft-deleting the top and bottom folder of the hierarchy, and 
when that didn't work I tried hard-deleting as well; neither way worked, and 
IIRC both ways forced a dismount of the database.  I was able to rename the 
top-level folder (well, the one under /Calendar) successfully, for what it's 
worth.

Does online vs. cached matter for MFCMAPI?  I'm going to assume so.

The deleted mailbox is still in the database, so I may restore that database to 
my test environment and play a little more.

Thanks for the response.  Is there anything more specific I can look for to 
help diagnose this? I saved the Application event log from the other day so I 
can pull event IDs, etc. when I get a free moment.

This is a "partially known" issue. There aren't repro steps and it hasn't been 
fixed because the Exchange team doesn't know how to reproduce it. All reports 
are "somehow this happened".

There is a limit that Exchange hits at 500 levels. You didn't get that deep, so 
apparently your "process" or "issue" somehow self-limited.

Every mount/dismount/crash should have one or more event ids and/or minidumps 
associated with it. Without those - no clue. That's not a standard part of this 
problem report.

Cleaning it with an ONLINE profile using Outlook or MFCMAPI should be fairly 
direct, if tedious. Start at the bottom and work up, one level at a time.

Hello all,

We had a helpdesk frontliner trigger an interesting...phenomenon...in Exchange 
yesterday.  I don't have the full details, but I was told he was trying to copy 
a calendar folder from his Live@edu mailbox into his on-premise Exchange 
mailbox (Outlook 2010; he had both mailboxes in separate Exchange-type 
accounts).  For whatever reason, the copy failed, and he went to do something 
else.  When he went back to Outlook a minute or two later, instead of the 
process actually "failing" he now had 232 (I counted) Calendar-type folders.  
These folders were in one single hierarchy, like so:

/Calendar
/Calendar/Work
/Calendar/Work/Calendar
/Calendar/Work/Calendar/Work

And so on, until the final "Calendar" folder was 232 levels deep, with a path 
length of 1,622 characters.  The "Calendar" folders had zero items in them, 
while I think the "Work" folders had maybe six items each.

Anyway, said student tried to delete the folder structure in Outlook but 
couldn't.  (I don't know what error it gave him there.)  He then tried to 
delete the structure in OWA, but it didn't work there, either; it kept giving a 
"permission denied" message.  (I theorize that OWA didn't know *why* it 
couldn't delete the folder, so it defaulted to "you must not have permission".  
But I could be way off-base.)

So, they called me.  I loaded up the mailbox in Outlook, saw it fail, so I went 
to MFCMapi and tried to delete it there.  However, every time I tried, the 
mailbox would disappear for a few seconds, come back with a 
MAPI_PARTIAL_FAILURE (that's not quite correct, but I didn't write it down 
yesterday), and not actually delete anything.  I then decided to export his 
mailbox as a PST and exclude the /Calendar/Work/* folders in order to reimport 
into a "clean" mailbox.  As I'm running "Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics", 
in a slow loop, the cmdlet errors out with an error similar to "Cannot get 
statistics for request because the database is dismounted on the mailbox 
server."  Uhh...what?

To make a long story endless, it turns out that something to do with this huge 
folder structure seems to have been crashing the information store, or at least 
caused it to dismount the database...and then all the rest of the databases on 
that server seemed to dismount as well.  The "crash" happened multiple times 
before I killed the export request, and I went back and found out that every 
time I tried to delete one of the folders using MFCMapi it would also cause the 
database to dismount-hence why the mailbox "went away" for a few seconds, until 
the DB was remounted on another DAG member.  It was at about this point that 
the frontliner called back and told me it was okay to just delete his mailbox 
and restore from backup, which was A-OK by

Almost all of the opensource methods to accomplish this are

folder path character count? (Again, I couldn't find one using Google.)  And 
even if there was, is the expected result that "...the database  was 
stopped" (MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store 9539)?

Thanks for any help or cluesticks anyone can provide.

You can still use the IIS logs (if you have them turned on) to see data VOLUME 
- which can track user, source ip, data read, data written, etc.

However, that doesn't allow you to see actual data CONTENT.

Re: Analysing e2k10 transaction logs

[Harry Singh]

Haven't never used logparser, would it simply be loading the IIS/SMTP log
file via gui, or is there a command line option to run ?
Thanks,

You can still use the IIS logs (if you have them turned on) to see data VOLUME 
- which can track user, source ip, data read, data written, etc.

However, that doesn't allow you to see actual data CONTENT.

The process described here allows you to examine content.

New-MailboxExportRequest, it accepted the input but the job failed.

Ah.

I would expect the PoSH stuff to run DateTime.Parse or a similar
method on its input -- didn't mean to imply that SQL was relevant
here, or that "dd-MMM-" is SQL's most native-ish format (it is
not) -- merely a format that I find easy to type, read, and which is
well understood by most systems.

IMHO the most unambiguous system datetime format is the XML datetime,
e.g., "2012-01-30T16:28:52.6193034Z", which contains no whitespace,
and clearly shows the time part and timezone.

Oh, you are gonna hate this one. That's not valid. You have to do it like this:

Get-MessageTrackingLog -Server ICEXCH-H1 -Sender 
"r.so...@imperial.ac.uk" -Start 
[DateTime]::Parse( "15/01/2012" )

It's a System.DateTime parameter, not a string parameter.

What's happening is you are getting caught up in the short-cut string 
transformation.

RE: New-MailboxExportRequest issues

[Michael B. Smith]

That surprises me. Forget the cmdlet for a minute and do the below straight 
from the cmdline:

Does this fail?

[System.DateTime]::Parse("15/01/2012")

And then, does this fail?

$culture = new-object System.Globalization.CultureInfo( "en-GB" 
)
[System.DateTime]::Parse("15/01/2012", $culture)

Thanks.

Oh, you are gonna hate this one. That's not valid. You have to do it like this:

Get-MessageTrackingLog -Server ICEXCH-H1 -Sender 
"r.so...@imperial.ac.uk" -Start 
[DateTime]::Parse( "15/01/2012" )

It's a System.DateTime parameter, not a string parameter.

What's happening is you are getting caught up in the short-cut string 
transformation.

Re: New-MailboxExportRequest issues

[Steve Kradel]

I would expect the PoSH stuff to run DateTime.Parse or a similar
method on its input -- didn't mean to imply that SQL was relevant
here, or that "dd-MMM-" is SQL's most native-ish format (it is
not) -- merely a format that I find easy to type, read, and which is
well understood by most systems.

IMHO the most unambiguous system datetime format is the XML datetime,
e.g., "2012-01-30T16:28:52.6193034Z", which contains no whitespace,
and clearly shows the time part and timezone.

I agree with your concept - but I think I disagree with your choice of format.

Search isn't built on SQL and it has a limited range of date formats it 
recognizes. I have notes that say the only "universal unambiguous format" is 
"-mm-dd hh:mm:ss" (with "hh:mm:ss" being optional), but I don't have a 
public reference for that.

I'd suggest going with a format that's unambiguous, and readily
accepted by both .NET and SQL:  "dd-MMM-"; e.g., "30-JAN-2012".
This is my date format of choice for systems and for communicating
with an international audience.

RE: New-MailboxExportRequest issues

[Michael B. Smith]

OK. That looks right, so it seems to be an Exchange-only issue.

Can you try it with "-mm-dd hh:mm:ss" (with "hh:mm:ss" being optional) and 
see if that is a valid workaround?

Right,
Unless I misunderstand it, Sent mail is mail you send whereas Received mail is

No errors are thrown, it accepts it but the job reports failed when viewing the

Search-Mailbox being entered in one format returned results formatted in the

RE: New-MailboxExportRequest issues

[Michael B. Smith]

I've never heard of that and it sounds like a bug. Granted I'm en-us all the 
way, so I don't see these types of problems.

Can you also run these for me? (Any PowerShell window, doesn't have to be EMS.)

(get-culture) | fl
(get-culture).DateTimeFormat

Thanks.

I need to figure out if PowerShell has the right values and it's an 
Exchange-only issue, or a combo issue.

RE: Analysing e2k10 transaction logs

[Michael B. Smith]

You can still use the IIS logs (if you have them turned on) to see data VOLUME 
- which can track user, source ip, data read, data written, etc.

However, that doesn't allow you to see actual data CONTENT.

The process described here allows you to examine content.

Hi MIcheal,

Not sure what you mean by command or which one I could run to create some kind 
of error. I'm in ESM. I am able to select the trusted forest or domain, then I 
enter the user account to access linked domain controller as usual but when I 
click on browse to select the linked domain controller I get "domain 
offsitedomain.local cannot be contacted or does not exist". I tried running 
DCdiag on all local and remote DCs and they test ok except for one that's 
complaining about the print spooler not being able to reopen an existing

RE: New-MailboxExportRequest issues

[Michael B. Smith]

Did you write dd/mm/ ?? Really? Where are you?

Single vs. double quotes shouldn't make any difference.

Right,
Unless I misunderstand it, Sent mail is mail you send whereas Received mail is 
mail you received and I wanted both exported.

No errors are thrown, it accepts it but the job reports failed when viewing the 
queue. I wasnt sure looking at the output of certain cmds versus their input as 
to which format the date should have been specified in, MM/DD or DD/MM as a 
Search-Mailbox being entered in one format returned results formatted in the 
other?

The cmd that finally worked is DD/MM/ in double quotes. Looking at my notes 
it was second format I tried, but somewhere along the attempts I switched to 
double quotes instead of single, who knows...

Thanks!

Your Sent and Received are the same? You may also need to specify a MM:HH in 
addition to MM:DD:.

Can you send the output of the command when it fails?

Trying to export out sent and received items with a content filter of {(Sent 
-lt '06/28/2011') -and (Received -lt '06/28/2011')}
This fails, whereas w/o the content filter, or with a simpler one it works.

Anyone see the issue?

Thanks,

Ps. Sorry for the lame sub, lyris's fault
