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.

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

Finding Delegates on a mailbox
There is difference between delegates set in Outlook and delegates set on a mailbox on the server. I believe I understand how to view and modify delegates on the mailbox using EMC or EMS for Exchange 2010. However, how does one view/modify the delegates that were set in Outlook without actually opening the mailbox in Outlook, or is this even possible? Brad
Delegates Error on Exchange 2010
I am experiencing the following error message when trying to add/remove/modify delegate rights. Cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object. It occurs on mailboxes migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. We originally discovered it when creating profiles for resource mailboxes and attempting to modify their delegates while logged in under our own credentials with Full Access to the resource mailbox. The program did not occur when opening our own mailboxes and modifying our own delegates, however we are now finding users who cannot modify even their own delegate rights. Additionally the options underneath the delegate rights are also grayed out for these users. We have attempted adding the Write Exchange Personal Information permission to the SELF account on the mailboxes as suggested in some Exchange 2007 guides online, but this has not resolved the issue. Anyone else running into this and have a resolution? Brad
RE: Delegates Error on Exchange 2010
Thanks, have you actually used this with success? The issue I have right now is that a user is getting this error on his own mailbox and there are Full and Send As rights granted to SELF for his mailbox. Eventually I will need to deal with the delegate rights on the room resource mailboxes also, but for the moment this appears to be another issue. Also, when testing, I tried granting myself full and send as rights on a room for testing and still received the delegates error when I made a profile for that room and tried to modify delegate rights. So I understand using a role group to give Full and Send As rights to resource mailboxes, but what about when you get the error when you already have those rights?

RE: Friday funnies
John, in my personal experience, I find that outdoor cats left to wander the neighborhood rarely limit themselves to just the neighbor next door. That said, their natural tendency for laziness would suggest there is a radius in which the homes must be in order to receive their regular ‘treatment’. I expect this radius could be scientifically correlated to how fat the particular cat in question may be.

Backup Exec and Exchange 2010 Gotcha
Since there is another Exchange backup thread it may me think to just throw this up for those who use Backup Exec and are looking to go to Exchange 2010. First, if you're running something before Backup Exec 2010, you'll need to upgrade to get support for Exchange 2010. Second, the Exchange management tools are required on the Backup Exec 2010 server. For Exchange 2010 this means you'll need to make sure your Backup Exec 2010 is running a 64bit OS. This one was a gotcha for us since our Backup Exec servers were all 32 bit still. Just a heads up for those on the path to upgrade. Brad
Outlook Authentication Prompt on reboot of server
I have noticed one difference between using Outlook 2007 on Exchange 2003 vs. Exchange 2010 is a prompt to users for credentials. On Exchange 2003, the user (particularly when using Cached Exchange mode) would normally not even notice a reboot of the server. However, now on Exchange 2010 if we reboot the server, users are immediately prompted for credentials which continue until the server is back up or until they restart Outlook when the server is back up. This seem significantly more invasive than before where Outlook would simply go into offline mode temporarily until the server was available again. Anyone happen to know why this change in behavior, or is this not normal? Brad

Outlook Anywhere Authentication Behavior Domain Member vs. Non-Domain member
I have observed in our implementation for Exchange 2010 that non-Domain Members can use Outlook Anywhere, but Domain Member systems are unable. When a non-Domain Member creates a profile and auto-configures from a remote location, it appears Autodiscover works properly and they are prompted to authenticate to the server. The authentication box that is presented to them is asking them to authenticate to the external FQDN of the CAS server which works properly. When a Domain Member creates a profile and auto-configures from a remote location, while the Autodiscover appears to work, they are then prompted to authenticate to the internal name of the CAS server, an operation which they cannot complete remotely or without VPN. It appears that this may not even be a DNS related issue. As an experiment, I put the internal name of the server into the hosts file of the Domain Member system and tested it could ping the CAS server using the Internal name from the remote location. However when prompted to authenticate to the internal name server, the authentication still fails. We also tried configuring a Domain Member for Outlook Anywhere while on site, then taking the system off-site and the authentication issue persists, so it is not an issue that is only present during configuration. It seems that Domain Member systems are treated differently in how Outlook Anywhere handles their configuration. Again, non-Domain Members work as expected, it is only the Domain Members that cannot use Outlook Anywhere. Does anyone else out there successfully use Outlook Anywhere with Domain Member clients off-site? Brad
RE: Outlook Anywhere Authentication Behavior Domain Member vs. Non-Domain member
Thanks Michael. The connectivity test was unhappy that the SSL name had a mismatch between the External FQDN and the cert (we use a wildcard cert). So I used Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -CertPrincipalName to set the wildcard cert name and now it passes the test. It has now worked on 4 out of 5 tries. The failed try, I rebooted and tried again and it worked (when it failed it was just re-prompting for credentials over and over). Interestingly, the prompt for domain members is still the internal name, but it does accept the credentials. Brad From: Michael B.

I'd start with testexchangeconnectivity.com and see what it says. Note that the detailed content of the response from autodiscover will tell you almost everything about your configuration.

Rules Delegates in Exchange 2003 to Exchange Migration 2010
We have observed that as we migrate users from our Exchange 2003 server to our Exchange 2010 server that for some mailboxes, some rules are ineffective after the move until they are recreated. We have observed the same behavior with delegate permissions. Some delegates need to be removed and re-added before the permissions will become effective again. Has anyone else observed anything like this? Is there any way to force the Exchange 2010 server to re-evaluate the rules and delegates and 'reapply' them so they become effective without the user doing it? This is confusing for users because the rules and delegates still exist, but they do not know if they are ineffective until the rule fails to function or the delegated party calls to advise them they no longer have access. Brad
RE: Rules Delegates in Exchange 2003 to Exchange Migration 2010
We did have some issues with users not having the inheritance set which prevents them from using their SmartPhones, but all of the users having the Rules or Delegates issues have inheritance set. The rules and delegates still exist, they just don't function correctly. And even more oddly, for one of the users, out of a list of 5 rules, only 2 stopped working... Brad From: Michael B.

They do all show up in OWA. I haven't used mfcmapi.

RE: Evil OAB message 0x8004010F
FYI, The original issue of not being able to DL the address book was related to the Internal/External URL configurations. In one case, one was not set. In two other cases I fat-fingered the period in the file name. If you CTRL-Right-Click on the Outlook icon in the system tray and do Test E-mail Autoconfiguration, put in an address on your target server, no credentials, and uncheck the second two checkboxes, you will see all the URLs being returned by the server. If any of them are wrong, Google and you'll find the MS article to fix them. After those were resolved, we found that the Exchange 2007 users couldn't see Exchange 2003 user Free/Busy information despite all the replica partners being set. After 6 more hours on the phone with PSS, they finally got someone on the phone who knew what they were doing. In 5 minutes he found that SSL was enabled on the 'public' IIS folder and Integrated Authentication was not enabled on Exchange 2003 which prevents the Exch2k7 server from authenticating and accessing the FB info from the 2k3 server.

We have a 2 server Exchange 2003 environment where we have added an Exchange 2007 server which we are now attempting to migrate users to.

Exchange 2007 New Mailbox Appearance in GAL
Today we added an Exchange 2007 server (on Win2k8) to our existing Exchange 2003 organization. The installation appears to have worked properly, all services are running, etc... I created a new user in ADUC and made a mailbox on the new E2k7 Server. I also create a user through the Exchange Management Console. Neither of these users appear in the GAL. Neither user can connect to their E2k7 mailbox. Both get the The name cannot be resolved. The name cannot be matched to a name in the address list. Message. I created a new user in ADUC and made a new mailbox on an E2k3 server and moved it to the E2k7 server*. This new user can send and receive mail both internally and externally and can log on to the mailbox successfully. Any ideas why the new mailboxes on the E2k7 server don't show up in the GAL and thusly can't log on? A few notes: On suggestion, I tried changing the OAB polling from 480min to 15min and restarted the Exchange DFS service , no luck. Also on suggestion, I open the Exchange System Manager and tried Update Now under the Recipient Update Service for both the Enterprise and the Domain. Still no luck. Incidentally, I can send SMTP E-mail from inside and outside to the two E2k7 mailboxes without a bounce, so I assume they are being delivered to the mailboxes, but of course I can't open them to check. So again, any ideas on why new users with mailboxes created on E2k7 server can't log on but a migrated mailbox seems to work just fine? Did I miss some kind of GAL/GC config step to get this new E2k7 server to play nice in the existing E2k3 org? Thanks Brad *I noticed that I can't move mailboxes from E2k3 to E2k7 using ADUC even with the E2k7 32bit management tools installed, it throws this error: The requesting program is an incompatible version. Contact your system administrator about upgrading your Microsoft Exchange client. This version of the client application is incompatible with the version of Microsoft Exchange Server running on the server computer. Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store ID no: 80040110-0510-80040110 Moving them through the Exchange Management Console works just fine though. I presume that's normal, no moving mailboxes to E2k7 in ADUC?
RE: Exchange Deployment Services
Don, We are using iSCSI storage. The utilization on our Employee/Instructor mail server is relatively low so I am not entirely concerned with the I/O being an issue even in the virtual environment with the iSCSI. The bigger issue is we already attempted an E2k7 install on W2k8 Server earlier this year and did the requisite schema changes, however we were never able to complete that installation successfully for reasons I do not recall. My only admin right now is backlogged with a handful of other projects for which he is better qualified than for Exchange, as am I which is why we are looking to have an experienced party come in and knock out the installation for us and ensure we don't missing anything in the setup, routing, permissions, etc...

The magic of Address Lists in E2k
Can anyone explain to me how to manage address lists in E2k? The default global address list had read permissions for everyone, yet everyone saw a blank address book when looking at the global address list. Question #1) How come with an everyone read permission set on the default global address list, the global address list is empty on the clients? So, under All Global Address Lists in the system manager, I created a list which queries for all users and groups on server 1, and I gave it an everyone permission of read. After doing that, all users on Server 1 and Server 2 saw only the addresses for people on Server 1 under the global address list. This seemed logical, until... I went back and created another list under global address lists which queries for all users and groups on server 2 and again gave it an everyone permission of read. After doing that, everyone on Server 1 still saw only recipients on server 1 and everyone on server 2 only saw recipient on server 2. Question #2) Why this behavior? Why does one list appear to preempt the other list? The permissions are the same on both lists, shouldn't users on both servers see the recipients of both lists? Thanks for any insight on this.

RE: Permissions In E2k
William, I have found there are quite a few inherited permissions, but I still can't figure out where they come from. Here is what is on the mailbox now: Domain\administrator - read (inherited) domain\domain admins - delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited) domain\enterprise admins- delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited) Everyone - read (inherited) Exchange Domain Servers - delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited) Exchange Service Account - delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited) Exchange Services - delete,read,change,take ownership,full (all inherited) Self - Delete, full, Associated external account (not inherited) The test user I am trying to give access to is not a member of any of the above groups except of course everyone, but he can get access if I add him to the list with full permissions. When I put the test group in and give it full permissions (and of course he is a member of that test group) it doesn't work, even after waiting and forcing an AD replication to be sure his group membership is being evaluated. 1) Do you see anything in this ACL that would be affecting this? 2) Where the hell are all the inherited permissions coming from, I can't find a higher level in the hierarchy to modify them (in the AD or the server manager)? 3) That Everyone - read permission makes me nervous, but it was there by default on all mailboxes, and again I don't know where it is being inherited from to remove it. I have checked around on a few regular user accounts and noone can access each others mailbox so it would seem it doesn't work anyway, but it still makes me nervous. Thanks for your help.

SMTP configuration error?
E2K SP2 Just finished move from 5.5 to E2K. 5.5 server is still in site, but SMTP has been redirected at the gateway mail sweeper to the E2K server. Scenario: When a message is sent internally to the SMTP address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is returned with 'A configuration error in the recipient's e-mail system prevented delivery of this message. Two recipients are configured with the same e-mail address. Contact your administrator.' When a message is sent to the display name Postmaster, the message is delivered to the postmaster mailbox correctly. When a message is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from externally, it arrives in the Administrator mailbox (which has only two SMTP addresses configured for it, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (primary) and [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Given the evidence, one would think the second instance of the postmaster@ address that the NDR is complaining about would be somewhere in the configuration for the administrator mailbox perhaps. However, I have been unable to locate anywhere in the administrator's configuration any instance of the postmaster@ address. Any ideas or KB articles I missed?

Installtion issue was: ADC/Extending Schema Problem
Ryan Kiste of Pacific Info Systems in Portland, Oregon. I revealed the answer to him on the phone while our account manager was also on the line. I suspect he will be laughed at for quite some time by everyone in the office. In the mean time, I have another problem. After continuing with the installation, we installed E2k SP2 and a few of the hot fixes including the information store hot fix and suddenly we were faced by any number of errors when trying to mount the store. we tried rolling back to SP2 and still couldn't mount the store. The answer from his 'guru' on the phone was to go ahead and rebuild the e2k server and start over before moving mailboxes. Problem is, after the rebuild it won't let me do a reinstall because the server object is already there somewhere. Our consultant hasn't shown up yet this morning (not really sure which one they will send today), but I suspect he won't know the answer. The installation suggests running in disaster recovery mode. Is this the best thing to do, or is there a place I can clean out the old server name entry and do a clean install?

Inherited Mailbox Permission in E2K
After moving some mailboxes, we discovered that the permissions for every mailbox has the domain admins group with a deny set on it, but this is being inherited from somewhere. What is the parent object here? If you go up a level or two in Active directory users and computers there is no place to modify the permissions going down to that mailbox. So I looked in the system manager and tried the delegate control option at the org and site levels, but that isn't where it is coming from either. So where exactly is the parent from which mailboxes are inheriting their permissions? Thanks Brad List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

The source address of the redirect file is 161.58.178.209 and if you visit that address you will see the domain for sale page and the popups, and in my case it again tried to install gator, so USE CAUTION. I'm posting this here hoping someone else may recognize the symptoms and also curious is there is an E-mail going around that might be carrying the starting point for this.

RE: Web redirects - virus/CSS/Email based?
John, Thanks. I had the same experience on my workstation. I can go there, get the page, get the install dialog and then still be fine. However, I think that site is the second step in the 'infection'. Whatever it is that our users are picking up is what is sending them to that site. What we can't figure out is what program or Email or file or website is starting the 'infection' and causing clients to get redirected to that target. We are getting reports now of people who have rebooted and been able to get to the sites they were not able to before now getting it on other sites, so a reboot is apparently just a temporary fix.

Well I fired up an old usless laptop and went to the site to specified, and got the Domain sale site, and it tryed to install Gator, but I was able to browse normally after that. I would just close IE, and repopen it, and I could browse just like normal. No redirects, no more domain for sale thing, nothing. I think there is more to this than the web page.

Sophos, pulled every hour, all clients updated every hour, mail gateways every 5 minutes, NAI groupshield onboard exchange servers updated once a week (yeah, groupsuck, but it's a different vendor just as a double check). We've run active scans on all web servers and all victim clients with sophos, nothing. The issue has been reported to Sophos tech support, we're waiting on a reply presently. It is hitting a new person on our campus at the rate of about 1 every 15-20 minutes. We are seeing it on everything from secured admin workstations to 'very' unsecured student computers. No common denominator yet for a possible delivery application, except they are all Win2k running IE6 or IE5.5SP2 so far. Several of the clients don't even have outlook, but could be accessing through OWA, so mail-based starting point isn't out of the picture yet. We are getting nervous that noone else outside our campus seems to be reporting this yet.

Dennis, This is happening to clean system with no messaging agents or anything on them. No new installs, no modifications, secured access computers. There is nothing to indicate that the problem is being started by an adware or spyware agent. The problem is that it is trying to install one obviously, we are trying to find out where this chain is starting. Somehow that first site is getting called that starts the redirect and the install attempts, but where is the first call coming from? We are trying to determine if it is embedded in a popular web site like msn or yahoo or something or if it is embedded in an E-mail. If we're the only ones having this problem then I'll know to start looking for the source internally, but right now I have really no leads on the source.

Is anyone else having this problem? We are suddenly having dozens of reports from users who find that anywhere they web-browse to is being redirected to a domain for sale page with pop-ups and other windows for places like reunion.com and in some cases it attempted to start an install of Gator.

Language Support - Japanese
We have several Japanese users now that are using OWA to access their mailboxes. Some are complaining that when they receive messages in Japanese they see only question marks for most if not all characters in the messages. Japanese language support is loaded the workstation with the browser they are using to access OWA but I am guessing there is something on the OWA/IIS/Exchange side that has to be changed for them to be able to view these messages. Any hints? Brad List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
Hacking tool to .pst files
One of our ever wise staff members managed to lock herself out of her personal folders by setting a password on it which she can not recall. This file of course contains 'mission critical' information for her (blah blah blah). Anyone have a name or URL for a good pst password hacking tool?

RE: *** Warning *** New Virus - W32.goner.a@mm
Eric, We use groupsuck here still, (primarily because we can't get rid of it clean) but it has worked flawlessly (yeah I know, a miracle). I have had a few other people try to sell me other on-board scanners for exchange, but the two I had seen demo'd both broke SIS by opening and copying messages in the MTA for the scanning process. This also triggers delivery notification. Is there another on-board product out there that does suck, doesn't break SIS and doesn't open messages and trigger delivery notification as part of the scanning process?

How they can sell that product is beyond me. I am also getting away from it ASAP. Just to warn you, the uninstall is not clean.
