RE: Backup Exec 2013 and Exchange 2013 issues - Symantec's response
Is this problem only with BackupExec 2013? I haven't seen any issues backing up E2010 SP3 with BE 2012.

I've had the same issues since we migrated to Exchange 2010 and that was on SP2. Backup Exec 2012 (and Backup Exec 2010 before I upgraded) always failed on Exchange DAGs here. This is a VMware environment. Exchange is on Windows 2008 R2 servers. My environment is simple: two CAS servers, two DAG servers. I opened a support request with Symantec about the issue. The response I received is: I would like to inform you that exchange 2010 SP3 is not yet supported by the latest version of BE at the moment. By not supported I mean that BE has not been tested with Exchange 2010 SP3 officialy. Support for the same may be expected in upcoming releases. About the VSS writers, BE calls them during the backup to take a snapshot of the databases and logs. But due to some reason the writers fail again and again and cause the backup job to fail inturn. In this case, I would suggest you to contact Microsoft Support to fix the VSS writer issue. Once fixed, you can continue taking backups successfully. Just make sure that the Advanced Open File Option is not selected in the backup as it is not recommended for exchange. Well...that sucks. I didn't know about the advanced open file. so I'll disable that and give it another try. So, what are you folks using for backup? The vss writers are always stable, at least when I check.

RE: Unable to create mail enabled Public Folder in E2K7 SP3
I ran into a similar problem a while back. Have you looked at the Microsoft Exchange System Objects container yet? All of your mail-enabled PFs should be accounted for in that OU. You can do an add/remove columns and choose modified date, then sort to see when your last PF was mail-enabled. The funny thing is in my case this container (for whatever reason) was no longer located at the top level of the domain where Exchange has been installed. It was within a sub-folder!! Once I moved the container back to the root level, things were back to normal. Hopefully that helps...

CALs for Exchange 2003 server?
Hi all, I'm trying to figure out which CALs I should be purchasing for my Exchange 2003 server. In the past, I was buying 381-03096 which is Exchange 2007 Standard Device CAL. These appear to be no longer available, and I'm not sure what the replacement would be. I assume some flavor of Exchange 2010 would be backwards compatible w/ 2003? . --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist

Re: Outlook 2011 for MAC ... syncing calendar entries ...
We also run a fairly large Mac shop here tho we would love to heed MBS's guidance about scheduling appts using the same mail client (esp. when delegate/manager combos are involved), its not always practical. And @ James, yes the EWS budget msgs are still coming through as we log all event errors on Exchange. Every time a 2k3 user gets migrated to 2010 syncs to EWS the first time we would get a over-the-budget alert from Ex2k10. Likewise for ActiveSync devices. Now, my question is does the built-in 2010 Calendar repair process that run daily help to either repair or flag these malformed cal. entries? Anyone care to chime in on this?

Re: autodiscover for SAN certs
Thanks MBS for the quick response. Yes, so for our NA implementation we have currently non-internet facing site with available CAS servers (with different casarray names/external vip's currently) that we can point external VIP's from the production to. Or, we could always play DNS tricks, lower ttl on autodiscover.domain.comand point it to one o the external VIP's at EMEA or APAC, assuming redirection et al is working. However, even if we were to do this, don't the other regions SAN certs also need to include autodiscover.domain.com if they are requesting separate SAN certs ?

RE: Semi-OT - Encryption between servers
We have a hosted service through Symantec (they use Zix on their backend). This requires a TLS tunnel between our Exchange server and Symantec, and works fine. Outgoing email w/ the word “secure” in the subject line gets stopped by Symantec and redirected to their secure email portal, where the recipient would have to log into to retrieve the message. This is great for all the gmail, yahoo, etc… people. But… Question: Is it possible to keep this TLS tunnel between us and Symantec and as well have TLS tunnels between us and various business partners?

Definitely very enlightening read. I've checked homemta attribute for the affected users and Rob as you had suggested they do reflect the actual value where the mb's live.

Re: Associate External Account
Sorry Michael. What I meant is that in the pre win2k3 sp2 days one wd have to set the external user acct on self to yes in order for internal users to gain access to disabled user accts mailbox.

You can have a look at the Technical Reference Guide for the transport layout for the WHY, but you’ll see that any message going through an Exchange 2003 server requires about 2.5 times the message size in RAM and about 4 times the size on disk (some temporary, some in the System Attendant mailbox).

Re: Here's an easy one I hope for Friday: arbitration/system mailbox move in Ex2k10
thanks for the quick response Peter. I set the filter for user mailbox on
the said server can't see anything. However, I did find in the
Disconnected mailbox a DiscoverySearchMailbox
{D919BA05-46A6-415f-80AD-7E09334BB852} the admin acct used to install
Ex2k10.
Now here's the interesting thing: I tried to connect both back to the user
objet (one in the root domain/Users the other my admin user acct) and the
picker doesn't see them despite specifying the exact OU where I can see them
in ADUC.
Are they supposed to be disconnected? If they can't be connected back to the
original user account, does it make sense for me to create new ones,
reattach, then move the mailbox over to the production database ?

SSL offloading for win2k3
Hi, Wondering if anyone who has deployed HLB to do SSL offloading with Exch2k3 can help. Our Current config is SSL negotiations being handled by the two OWA servers on the trusted/internal side, fronted by an A10 LoadBalancer that is configured to pass inbound traffic to OWA via TCP. Since we got a SAN cer are in the process of transitioning to Ex2k10, I figure I would configure SSL offloading for Win2k3. We consulted with A10 and were told to change the TCP service group to HTTPs on the A10, load the SAN cert onto the A10, then create a client SSL template bind that to the VIP of OWA. Problem is when create this HTTPs group with SSL template binding I get prompted twice when I try to go to OWA, and the OWA page never loads. The authentication prompt would first prompt for 443, then 80, and just keeps reprompting even after I put in my credentials. On the OWA server the SSL certs are loaded (as was the case when it was handling SSL individually once the traffic pass thru the A10 via TCP), but ont eh Default Web Site Directory Security SSL is _not_ checked. On the backend mailbox servers FBA is enabled but I dont see how that should make any difference. Has anyone encountered this before setting up SSL negotiation on the HLB?

We have 2 Exchange 2010 SP1 virtual machines on VMware hosts with a DAG set up between the two. We're using Symantec BackupExec on our current Exchange 2003 server (non-VM, actual box of metal) to perform our standard vanilla Exchange backups. I'm not the backup admin, nor do I play one on TV, but in order to backup our new Exchange 2010 servers is there anything special we need to do because it's on a VM? Articles that others here have found suggest that we need to snapshot the VM and backup the entire virtual machine. This seems to be a practice for application servers, but this doesn't make sense to me for an Exchange box. Couldn't it be backed up the same as if it wasn't a VM and instead we had two boxes of metal with a DAG? The Exchange VM should be able to take a backup agent and we should be able to backup Exchange just like it was any other box of metal?

new-mailboxexportrequest to mass export mb's nightly
All, Is anyone leveraging the new-mailboxexportrequest feature in Ex2k10 SP1 to mass export mb's to facilitate mb restores/corruption? Our environment is currently ex2k3SP2 more often than that we've used scheduled tasks of exmerge of everyone's pst's exmerge's ReplaceDataOnlyIfSourceItemIsMoreRecent to capture mailbox content changes. In other words, the exmerge run of my mb from last night would be captured, then tonight's job would only add new contents to my mailbox leaving items that are deleted bet. yesterday today intact. Does 2k10 SP1's mailboxexportrequest have this kind of granularity ? This makes a difference as we'd want all changes to be captured nightly @ the time of backup not have to export each night's job to a separate pst (which would incur huge storage penalty) ?

Alternate external url for OWA 2003
Need a little sanity check here. Assuming one Exchange org, with example.com and test.com both as valid smtp domains internaly/externally.

In other words, I can't have user on EX2k3-BE1 access his mailbox via mail.example.com mail.test.com both pointing to one single OWA server with FBA enabled.

Accessing 2003 mailbox from 2007 CAS
Hi, In the process of transitioning to 2010 from 2003 I have been compiling detailed project list following the questions/answers specifically from Paul Hutchings MBS. Very helpful. And this preface a series of questions I will be asking the gurus as we move forward so thanks in advance, AD background: Single forest (e.g. example.internal) @ windows 2003 FFL. Multiple child domains (child1.example.internal; child2.example.internal). All child domains at Win2k3 DFL. Schema has been updated to Ex2k10 SP1 level. Exchange: within this Ex2k3 example.internal Exchange org multiple administrative groups were created, e.g. na-example; apac-example; emea-example...etc. All Ex2k7 nodes are @ SP2 and above. DNS: split DNS but our public namespace (i.e. example.com) is also set up internally modified for Exchange, so mail.example.com is consistent from both internal external access. In the last two years, apac/emea have both set up ex2k7 in their own child domains (e.g. Ex2k7 in apac.example.internal and emea.example.internal) specifically apac has published autodiscover.example.com to point to their Ex2k7 CAS server (apmail.example.com). Today I wanted to test mail redirection as i want to make sure that when we bring up our 2k10 CAS in NA, redirection will occur for mailboxes in na-example (ex2k3), emea-example (ex2k7), and apac-example (ex2k7) When I log into apmail. example.com I had expected for redirection to my na-2003 mailbox to occur but instead am getting the following error: Outlook Web Access could not find a mailbox for na\username. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization and tell them the following: The mailbox may be stored on a Microsoft Exchange 2000 or Microsoft Exchange 2003 server, or the Active Directory user account was created recently and has not yet replicated to the Active Directory site where this Client Access server is hosted. Google-fu returns http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938444 which suggests its a read-permission not added to the user object needing to access. So I added Exchange Servers security group to the AD test user object's security permissions but still am running into the same error. Any thoughts? --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
Re: Exchange 2010 and Adobe PDF iFilter?
Just to follow up as we are negotiating with Foxit on their ifilter...
1. I couldn't get FOxit to tell me which Exchange role we need to install
the ifilter on. I'm thinking only the Mailbox servers since only
db'/contents need indexing but wanted to make sure that we dont need it on
CAS/HT. Can anyone who have installed confirm if its mailbox servers only?
2. it appears that there's registry tweaking needed for the foxit ifilter.
If anyone's using it this may be of help. I think MBS's statement about
isntall you're done is specific to the Office SP1 ifilter.
b.Specific installation instructions for Exchange -what services need
to be stopped for installation/updates of ifilter server on Exchange
The installation process for exchange is as follows:
1) You want register manually by updating MSE's registry values. Add the
subkeys and values that are listed in the following table to subkey:
A)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\MSSearch\CLSID
subkey: {987F8D1A-26E6-4554-B007-6B20E2680632}
value: the path to the .dll for iFilter
For the subkey, you want to add these values:
Value Name: ThreadingModel
Type: String (REG_SZ)
Value Data: Both
B)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\MSSearch\Filters
subkey: .pdf
value: {987F8D1A-26E6-4554-B007-6B20E2680632}
2) Reset all the indexing services, and rebuild your index.

Two more q's.
a. what about Entourage/Outlook 2011 clients that employ EWS, I wd think
then I'd need ifilter on the CAS servers as the EWS endpoint for those MUA
as well in addition to the mailbox servers, no?
b. we also have 3rd party archiving app (Symantec's Enterprise Vault, to be

the desktop search (e.g. Outlook/Windows Search) tool?

Can anyone suggest a known good set of instructions please?

RE: Outlook 2010 file attachment limit
I agree there are better ways however:
Users of network file shares should note that Outlook 2010 has a limit of 20
files when selecting multiple files from a network drive. When the user selects
more than 20 files, Outlook 2010 responds with an alert:
You are attempting to attach too many files at once. Try reducing the number
of fields being attached
Users can attach more than 20 files that are stored on a network share, however
they need to select the files in groups of 20 or less. Files stored on your
local drive are not affected, only files selected from a network share trigger
this alert.

Re: 2010 migration
Sorry to hijack the thread but conitnuing on the thread of backup, is it suicidal to backup the active db? Problem we run into in our environemtn as we plan out migration to 2010 is that we have one prod site one DR site our backup library mgmt console both reside in prod. So, in other to perform 2010 backup either we'd have to spin up another server hosting all the passive mb db's or cough up extra $$ to set up a backup enviroement in our DR site to backup the passive db's. I understand best practice is to backup passive db's but what is everyone doing in a situation such as ours, which I assume is quite a common setup. We are overprovisioning our Ex2k10 setup to use 10K RPM SAS disks/8 core proc's/36GB RAM on 2 mb servers hosting some 4000 mb's averaging 300mb each (which is more than what the mailbox calculator recommends) but I'm still not not sold that we wont run into potential performancne issues if we were to backup the active db's.

Re: BES - Lookup Failed?
I'm surprised this is still happening in BES 5.0 (but going to Ex2k10 soon) but basically we ran into this whenever our DC/GC that BES server's MAP profile's tethered onto goes down for maintenance BES is left with no GC to refer the lookup requests to. What we've done without applying the patch/enabling GC referral is to note the GC BES is connected to coordinate reboots. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKCdocType=kcexternalId=KB16118 On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 1:35 PM, John Cook john.c...@pfsf.org wrote: I kind of remember having this issue way back in the day, we put a static entry in the hosts file on the BES (we were on 4.1) for the Exchange server and it seemed to clear up the problem, YMMV. *John W.

Ex2k10 SP1 schema update
All, we are looking to update AD with Exchange 2k10 SP1 schema. We have already performed the R2 schema update followed by the Ex2k7 SP2 schema update so the rangeupper attribute of ms-exch-schema-version-pt is 14622 (same as Ex2k10 RTM) last year. Theres currently a mix of Ex2k3 and Ex2k7 servers in the Exch org. Questions: a. if we currently have Exchange 2k7 SP1 servers, before we extend the Ex2k10 SP1 schema we will need to bring all fo them up to at least SP2 level (SP3 is preferred but according to this article SP2 seems th minimum requirement for coexistence, correct? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638158.aspx b. Any adverse effect bringing the schema directly from 14622 to 14726 (EX2k10 SP1) without updating it to Ex2k7 SP3 first? Will this affect existing Ex2k7 SP1 servers later on when they need to update Exchange 2k7 ? I understand schema update updating Exchange versions are two separate beasts but want to confirm. Brian Desmond has summed it up well here, basically saying that unless all Ex2k7/Ex2k3 servers are removed there wont be any problems adding new nodes in. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/d60ea3f9-9e38-4725-a08c-eb06cb099937/ Just looking for someone who has done this.

Bizarre issues
We have our Exchange outsourced and are seeing this weird issue: Five employees all configured to open the same mailbox (a team mailbox), all configured for cached mode. E-mail comes in and one of them takes the e-mail and moves it to another folder in that inbox. A minute later the same message reappears in the inbox, and this is in addition to the e-mail that now exists in the other folder. This doesn't happen often, maybe 1% of the time. We've sent copies to our Exchange provider and they say the messageID is the same for the samples we provide and therefore it's not the server sending it twice. Has anyone seen this before?

Delegates and meeting requests
I have an executive's assistant who is supposed to get meeting requests for the exec. We recently outsourced Exchange and it used to work before the switch. Setting the assistant as a delegate didn't do the trick... The process was: UserA sends meeting request to ExecA, meeting request appears in ExecA's assistant's mailbox and the assistant processed it and it would show up on ExecA's calendar. I know how to send ALL the exec's e-mail to both exec and assistant mailbox, but we just want meetings requests to be sent to both mailboxes. Anyone?

Outlook really...
Hi guys, Sorry for the cross-post. We are about to move to hosted Exchange but we have several users that when they open Outlook it connects to several Exchange mailboxes, surely there's an attribute (reg key?) on each PC I can query to find out who connects to which additional mailboxes? A quic reg search on my machine which is configured to open one additional one come sup empty. The migration tool supplied by our vendor adds a new profile and sets it as default, it captures/reattaches archive folder but not additional mailboxes.

Mac Entourage vs. Ex2K3
Trying to figure out why one remote user (the only one using Mac/Entourage, of course) can't send mail to one domain. He receives NDRs, but with no explanation, no SMTP code, not even a hint about which server hacked it back up. From the same mail server, I send emails to that domain just fine. Here's what I know: 1. Our server is not on any RBL lists. 2. Message tracking shows the email was sent; the last 3 lines are: Message Routed and Queued for Remote Delivery Started outbound transfer of message Non-delivered Report (NDR) Generated 3. There is no further indication of what the error was. 4. I know little to nothing about Entourage. 5. Our server has an SPF record.

RE: Retreive messages from Exchange 2003
FileOpenOther User's Folder Then just open and print? From: Sean Martin [mailto:seanmarti...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 4:15 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Retreive messages from Exchange 2003 If you're just looking for simple header information (To:, From:, Subject, Size, Date/Time) you can screen capture the results from message tracking and print those, although that's an ugly solution. If you need the entire messages, you'll need something like Exmerge to dump to content to PSTs. - Sean On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 11:04 AM, itli...@imcu.com itli...@imcu.com wrote: I have a requirement by HR to print all emails from 3 individuals from the past month.
