RE: Plain Text and HTML

[McCready, Rob]

The email did indeed cross domains, but the people that received it in both 
HTML and Plain Text were all in the same domain.

The president (joh...@parent.com<mailto:joh...@parent.com>) sent an email to a 
distribution list (all_us...@child.com<mailto:all_us...@child.com>).

jan...@child.com<mailto:jan...@child.com> received the message in Plain Text, 
ron...@child.com<mailto:ron...@child.com> received the message in HTML.  
Everybody in the child.com domain is using Outlook 2007.

The question was...was it sent in Rich Text. Which is Microsoft's way of making 
things look like HTML the hard way and causes weird stuff to happen. Very 
possible since you mention 'parent company' so did the email cross domains and 
the people that got it wrong are on a different domain than the folks that got 
it right?

RE: Plain Text and HTML

[McCready, Rob]

The only thing I've found so far said to select

Tools
Trust Center
Email Security
Uncheck Read All Standard Mail in Plain Text

But, that option wasn't selected anyway.  And, if there was an option that 
could be changed locally, why would one person receive the message as Plain 
Text, but then be able to view the exact same message as HTML,  (if it was 
forwarded to them by somebody that originally received it as HTML).

Holy perplexing.

Exchange 2007 Reporting

[McCready, Rob]

Greetings,

Does anybody know the best way (or if it's even possible) to report on...

1. How many spam messages are blocked per day?  We're using Exchange 2007 with 
Forefront and a couple of RBL's.  As far as I know, there's no way to get an 
all inclusive report that says.
A.  how many messages were blocked by RBL's.
B.  How many messages were blocked because they were dictionary attacks 
(and actually contained an invalid email address.) 
C.  How many messages were blocked by Forefront, etc.

I think I was reading an article the other day that said Exchange doesn't 
really have any great reporting for this, in any of its versions (including 
2010).  I could be wrong?  I hope!

Thanks,

Rob

I believe IIS can only use one certificate at a time, so as soon as you run the 
command below it will switch IIS over to using the new certificate.  Of course, 
you can check this again by using the "Get-ExchangeCertificate | ? { 
$_.Services -match 'IIS' }" command to ensure that only one certificate shows 
IIS in the Services property.

Exchange 2007 and OWA

[McCready, Rob]

A few months ago, we installed an additional certificate on our Exchange 2007 
Hub Transport server (from Go-Daddy) so that users could access OWA from an 
IPAD.  Everything worked fine until yesterday when we had to renew the Self 
Signed Certificate that Exchange initially installed during setup.  I would 
have thought that the Self Signed Certificate would not play a roll, since 
Exchange would be using the Go-Daddy certificate for OWA purposes.  But I do 
find it odd that the Self Signed certificate was updated last night, and now 
OWA is not working this morning.  I'm wondering if clients are trying to use 
the Self Signed certificate by default instead of the Go-Daddy certificate?  Is 
there any way to determine which certificate a client is trying to use for OWA?

Greetings Gurus,

We currently have 400GB worth of data on our Exchange 2007 setup.  From what 
I've read, we can expect that to double or triple when we move to Exchange 2010 
and lose single instance storage.

What type of disk configuration are you using for 2010?  Local disks or a SAN?

Exchange 2010 is a much nicer product than Exchange 2007, in many ways.

I can't think of any "drop dead" features though. The new cross-platform OWA is 
nice, and mailtips are nice. A lot more administration can happen in the 
console instead of in PowerShell.

YMMV.

As far as I know, there's no magic file to check on the Edge Transport servers

RE: Forefront Quarantine

My Filter List has the list I created called "Potentially Harmful Files".  It

*.bat*
*.com*

Etc.

When I go under File and highlight my Filter List, I check the box for "All 
Types".
Under File Filter: it is set to Enabled.
Action: Delete: Remove Contents
General = Check the box to quarantine files.

When any files come in with a matching category, they are quarantined for 
review and I can release them manually if needed.

Subject: Forefront Quarantine

I'm not sure what changed, but we have a Filter List setup via Forefront on our 
Microsoft Exchange 2007 Edge Transport server, and up until a few days ago, it 
would automatically quarantine file extensions we had on the list.  .COM for 
instance.  After being quarantined, we could open Forefront, go to the report 
tab and highlight quarantine to deliver the file if it was actually business 
related.  However, the files are no longer being quarantined, they are just 
automatically deleted.  If I look under the "Incidents" section instead of 
"quarantine", I can see where the file was purged.

Does anybody know what I might need to correct to get things back to normal?


If I open Forefront, look under the Filtering tab and highlight "File", I can 
see that the Filter List is enabled with the Action: Delete: remove contents.  
My only other 3 options are

Skip: detect only  (which punches the file straight through)
Purge eliminate message:  (which gives me a warning that the attachments will 
be purged and unrecoverable...not what I want)
Identify: tag message  (which also punches the file through but puts a SUSPECT 
alert in the subject

I can't figured out what has changed that has stopped the files from being 
reviewable by the Exchange Admins without being auto delivered to the user.

Thanks!

It depends on whether you are trying to recover a clustered server or a 
non-clustered server.
If you are trying to recover a cluster you want to install as a passive node 
and then run /RecoverCMS.

Did you install Exchange server as a passive node? That installs Exchange but 
doesn't create a cluster.
When you run /RecoverCMS from the \Bin directory, it creates the cluster from 
the information in AD.

RE: Forefront and Evil SPAM (follow up)

[McCready, Rob]

Oh, another follow up.  There's a fourth way we block spam with Exchange 2007 
Forefront.

1.  Real Time Black List
2.  Blocking any email that doesn't match a legitimate company address.
3.  The regular Forefront spam filters (with a setting of 7)
4.  If the IP address of the sender doesn't match where it says it's from, 
whack.

It sure would be nice if there was some way to report the numbers on all of 
those???

Does anybody know if there are any reporting tools for Forefront?  We'd like to

pretty difficult considering we use 3 different methods with Forefront?

1.  Real Time Black List
2.  Blocking any email that doesn't match a legitimate company address.
3.  The regular Forefront spam filters (with a setting of 7)


I think the Real Time Black List creates a log file that mentions each blocked 
email, but who wants to sit there and count them one by one.

I don't know if there are any tools or methods to count blocked email messages 
that don't match a valid company email address or emails that are 
caught/rejected by the Forefront filters?

I should have provided a little more detail, sorry.

I do have the SEND-AS permissions set which appear to be working 95% of the

What is happening is

1. Suzy opens her mailbox and then adds Johnny's mailbox to her setup.
2. Suzy opens an email from Johnny's mailbox and hits reply.  Johnny's name is 
automatically placed in the FROM: field.
3. Suzy replies to the message and hits send.

95% of the time, the email looks like it came from Johnny, however, every once 
in a great while, the email will say it's from Suzy.

Now of course, my immediate suspicion is user error (not verifying that 
Johnny's name is actually in the From: field), but the user swears she is very 
thorough in checking.

email, but when the email is sent, it says it came from yourself rather than 
Johnny?

RE: Exchange 2007 Send-As with Outlook 2007

[McCready, Rob]

I should have provided a little more detail, sorry.

I do have the SEND-AS permissions set which appear to be working 95% of the 
time.

What is happening is

1. Suzy opens her mailbox and then adds Johnny's mailbox to her setup.
2. Suzy opens an email from Johnny's mailbox and hits reply.  Johnny's name is 
automatically placed in the FROM: field.
3. Suzy replies to the message and hits send.

95% of the time, the email looks like it came from Johnny, however, every once 
in a great while, the email will say it's from Suzy.

Now of course, my immediate suspicion is user error (not verifying that 
Johnny's name is actually in the From: field), but the user swears she is very 
thorough in checking.

Has anybody else seen this "randomely" happen?

Thanks.

I think you'll find that send-as is trumped by send-on-behalf, if both are set.

RE: User Unkn0wn

[McCready, Rob]

Okay, I think there is some problem with our ADAM synchronization between the 
Hub Transport Servers (Exchange 2007) and the Edge Transport Servers (Exchange 
2007).

We now have two accounts which have recently been setup which are not allowing 
incoming email.  I'm thinking our Edge Servers are blocking the email because 
they don't have an updated copy of Active Directory which has the new user 
listed?

Soo, if I log into the Hub Transport server, and run

Start-edgesynchronization

That should start synchronizing the two, correct?

IF I'm correct in that assumption, I do indeed have a problem, because that 
command comes back with

Result   :CouldNotConnect

OK that answers my first question.  I don't see answers to questions 2 and 3.

In lieu of telnet test, you could set up a POP/SMTP client on the internal 
network, using your Exchange server's (private) IP as SMTP server, and try to 
send mail from there.  The point being, you want to exercise SMTP delivery to 
this address without the complication of whatever is between your Exchange 
server and the Internet (firewall, gateway, etc.).

If that still fails, the next thing I'd do is put some other external address 
on the account and repeat the SMTP delivery test to that new address.  If that 
address works, remove the original and re-add it, then set it as primary.

It doesn't take any time at all for a new SMTP address to start working, at 
least not under Exchange 2003.   You probably want to mention your server 
version in any followup.

All righty, I've done some more research.  From the recommendations/best

or "Allow automatic forward" outside the company.  It can



1.  Cause mail loops

2.  Invite more spam

3.  Leak company data that may have not otherwise been forwarded if the user 
had to do it manually.



Is anybody else using a 3rd party tool or service to allow an automatic reply 
for ONE mailbox???  It appears the Exchange 2007 option is an all or nothing 
thing.  We would LIKE to just allow an auto reply from ONE particular mailbox 
that customers send issues into, without turning the option on for every 
mailbox in the company.

Yeah, if you want it for only one user/many domains, you are going to need to 
create a transport rule, not a mailbox rule (and without checking, I can't 
remember in exchange 2007 whether that might need to be an Edge rule instead of 
a Hub rule - in exchange 2010, the Hub can do them all).

That is an org level setting on the properties of the entries on the Remote 
Domains tab.  It can be allowed for specific external domains or all domains 
but I am not aware of a way to allow it only for an individual sender to many 
domains.

Subject: Exchange 2007 Rules

I tried to setup a rule for one of our mailboxes that auto-replied to every 
email sent to it, something like

"Thank you for contacting the complaint department, we really care, blah blah 
blah".

However, it appears to only work internally.

I think there's a setting somewhere on Exchange 2007 that says..."Do not 
auto-forward outside the company".

Is it possible to turn this option off on an individual mailbox basis, or is it 
an all or nothing thing?

Thanks.

RE: Exchange 2007 Rules (automat1c rep1y/forward)

[McCready, Rob]

All righty, I've done some more research.  From the recommendations/best 
practices I've found, we should NOT check the box to "Allow automatic replies" 
or "Allow automatic forward" outside the company.  It can

1.  Cause mail loops
2.  Invite more spam
3.  Leak company data that may have not otherwise been forwarded if the user 
had to do it manually.

Is anybody else using a 3rd party tool or service to allow an automatic reply 
for ONE mailbox???  It appears the Exchange 2007 option is an all or nothing 
thing.  We would LIKE to just allow an auto reply from ONE particular mailbox 
that customers send issues into, without turning the option on for every 
mailbox in the company.

Thanks,

Rob

You can use wildcard certs, no problem. I've deployed them to several clients.

The only funky thing is that you have to configure the OutlookProvider, 
specifically the EXPR provider, to properly use a wildcart cert, otherwise 
Outlook Anywhere will fail.

RE: Exchange 2007 Certificates

[McCready, Rob]

Right now, I'm just using a self signed certificate for INTERNAL use only.

S, from what I've just been reading, it sounds like I only need to worry 
about a public CA if I have external client access from the Internet (beyond 
our firewall), which we do NOT.

POP3 and IMAP4
Outlook Web Access
Outlook Anywhere
Exchange ActiveSync
Autodiscover
Domain Security

Since I'm just worried about INTERNAL communication, I guess a public CA is not 
currently a concern.  The reason this initially came up was because a few of 
our users are receiving some certificate errors.

This CA Root certificate is not trusted.
Issued to 
our_hub_transp...@our_domain.com<mailto:hub_transp...@our_domain.com>
Issued by
our_hub_transp...@our_domain.com<mailto:hub_transp...@our_domain.com>
Valid from 11/03/2008 to 11/03/2009

I have no idea why our Self Signed internal certificate says it's not trusted 
for a few users, especially since it work for 95% of the company, and it has 
NOT expired yet!

I do know that EVERY user that has the issue is using Outlook 2007.  The 
certificate warning has never popped up for an Outlook 2003 user.

RE: Exchange 2007 Certificates

Do I need two certificates???  One for the internal Hub Transport Servers and 
one for the Edge Transport Servers in the DMZ?

Our big concern right now is the internal certificate, since it's the one (Hub 
Transport Server) giving us errors.  Perhaps I should just use our internal CA 
to replace the Hub Transport Self Signed Certificate and purchase a separate 
certificate from certificatesforexchange for our (DMZ) Edge Transport Servers?

Or, would one certificate placed in the right place take care of Hub Transports 
and Edge Transports?

RE: Exchange 2007 Self-Signed Certificate

I think I'm getting closer.

I've created a new certificate on our Hub Transport Server 1 and enabled it.  I 
still show two certificates though.

The default certificate created a year ago which is now expired.
The new certificate I just created.

If I do a get-transportserver  | fl

certificate.

However, if I open the Certificate MMC and look at Trusted Root Certification

Do I need to manually remove the original certificate before Exchange can see

 AFAIK, you can create certificates all day and they'll show up, but they won't 
all be used.  I would check in the IIS config for the cert it is using for OWA, 
activesync, etc to see which it is.  You can view which cert your HT is using 
by running 'get-transportserver  |fl 
InternalTransportCertificateThumbprint'

I've never had issues creating and removing certs from HT/CAS combo's for use 
with IIS and the transport service.  Again, the only thing that's bit me in the 
past was that when you do create a new cert the 'require secure channel' check 
box checks itself on the Exchange Vdirs, if you don't use that you'll need to 
go back and uncheck it.

 If you try to delete the cert being used by the transport service you will get

RE: Exchange 2007 Self-Signed Certificate

[McCready, Rob]

The server is a HUB and CAS (although we don't really use OWA).  The Hub also 
has Public Folders on it.  I'm not sure how to tell which certificates are 
actually IN use. When I open a Certificate MMC and look at Certificates\Trusted 
Root [EMAIL PROTECTED] and view it's properties, it tells me the (default) 
certificate has expired or is not yet valid (September 2008 date).

If I do a get-exchangecertificate, I receive FOUR thumbprints, Two say they 
expire on 11/3/2009, one says it expires on 9/22/2009, and one says it expires 
on 9/19/2008.  The 9/19/2008 expired date is the one I see on 
Certificates\Trusted Root [EMAIL PROTECTED], and is the default certificate 
created when we built the server on 9/19/2007.  The 9/22/2009 certificate was 
probably my first attempt at a renewal, which I'm thinking didn't take.

Perhaps I can delete the 9/19/2008 and 9/22/2009 certificates.  The 11/3/2009 
are probably the ones I created successfully on November 3rd (one of which was 
the default certificate for SMTP, POP, IMAP.  and the other was one I 
created for IIS).

Is there any easy way to tell what certificates are actually in use and what 
might be safe to delete?
What might have prevented my new certificate from functioning?

Thanks!

 If you try to delete the cert being used by the transport service you will get 
an error.  You should be able to remove the others with no issues, esp if HT is 
the only role on the box.  If that is also a CAS you will have to make sure 
that cert isn't being used by any of the other services.

Exchange 2007 Self-Signed Certificate

Certificates

[McCready, Rob]

By default, a certificate is installed on the first Hub Transport Server in an 
Exchange 2007 environment, which last for 1 year, correct?

My question is, if I want to buy a certificate from a Certificate Authority (to 
use as verification of encryption between us and another company), do I place 
it on the Hub Transport server to replace the "default" certificate, or do I 
need more than one certificate?  One to replace the Hub Certificate which will 
expire after one year, and one to be installed on the Edge Transport Server(s) 
in the DMZ?

Thanks all,

Rob

RE: Journaling

[McCready, Rob]

Well this is interesting.  That did indeed work for me, but I ran into a little 
problem.  After creating the group and adding several users, I wanted to delete 
people from the group to see if we could just add/subtract people on the fly as 
litigation holds changed.  So far, an hour after subtracting people from the 
Universal Group, the Journaling Rule is still reporting on messages sent 
to/from the people that USED to be in the Universal group.

I disabled and re-enabled the journaling rule, but no change.

You need Premium CALs for this.

First you create a security group/distribution group with UNIVERSAL scope
and populate it.

Then go to Organization Configuration -> Hub Transport -> Journaling and
create a new rule. You can select any universal group for the recipient.

Works fine, no problem. Local and global groups don't work. Must be
universal.

In Exchange 2003, journaling was per mailbox store only. In Exchange 2007,
you can still do it per mailbox store, but you can also do it by using

I'm using Exchange 2007 with SP1.  I'd like to setup a rule that says

Journal these 25 specific users email messages regardless of their storage 
group.

Can that be done in one swoop, without setting up 25 individual rules?

NMI.

What version of Exchange?

What document are you reading?

In general, a journal recipient is the mailbox that is the journal
DESTINATION. Not a journal source.

In Exchange 2003, journaling was per mailbox store only. In Exchange 2007,
you can still do it per mailbox store, but you can also do it by using
Managed Content Settings.

According to the document I'm reading, I should be able to setup a
Journaling Rule for a certain group of people.  However, when I create a new
rule, under "Journal messages for recipient", I can only select ONE person.
Groups do not appear.

How can I create a rule to Journal for a specific group of users?

Thanks!

Forefront Security For Exchange Quarantining.

[McCready, Rob]

We had a filter setup to quarantine all ZIP files for review before releasing 
them.  I would then forward the quarantined file over to myself and try saving 
it locally (using the local virus engine as an extra layer of protection).

However, after we applied Forefront SP1 and Exchange SP1 over the weekend, our 
settings seem to have been overwritten.  Now, anytime I quarantine a zip file 
on the Edge server, and then try to forward it on to myself for a manual 
review, it is re-quarantined on the Edge Server.

Has anybody else had any problems with SP1 overwriting their settings?

Is anybody else quarantining files for manual review before releasing them?  If 
so, how do you manually review them?

Thanks.

Well, I know have Forefront setup to quarantine all .ZIP files, but it appears 
when I forward them on for review, they just disappear into never never land.

We applied Forefront Security for Exchange 2007 SP1 over the weekend.  It 
appears some of our settings may have been modified/change back to default.  We 
used to quarantine all .ZIP files for review before releasing them.  Forefront 
would quarantine them, and we could forward the entire original messages onto 
ourselves (if we so desire), and save try saving the file to the C:\ drive, 
using the local virus software as an extra layer of protection.

However, after installing Forefront SP1, no matter what I select, the emails 
tend to go straight through.  I've changed the .ZIP filter between...

Action - Purge: Eliminate
Action - Identify: tag message
Action - Delete: remove contents
Action - Skip: detect only

And selected "Quarantine Files".

Has anybody else ran into this issue?  We want to be able to quarantine all zip 
files coming into the company.

Thanks.

RE: Exchange 2007 Certificates

[McCready, Rob]

This article says to "Make sure new certificate is working before deleting old 
certificate", but doesn't mention any steps on how to do that.

http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2008/01/exchange-server-2007-renewing-self.html

Can someone tell me how to test and see what certificate is being used?

Right now, I really don't think either are, because when I open my MMC, it 
still says the certificate is expired and points to the old thumbprint (even 
though I've enabled the newer thumbprint, or at least tried to).

Thanks.

RE: Exchange 2007 Certificates

I tried to clone the current certificate and then use the 
New-ExchangeCertificate command below, but it didn't appear to work.  Perhaps I 
need to be on SP1 before the below will work

I also tried Enable-Exchanghecertificate below, but still no luck.  Hmm.




Get-ExchangeCertificate -DomainName CAS01.contoso.com




Then to clone the certificate, run the following cmdlet.



Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint c4248cd7065c87cb942d60f7293feb7d533a4afc | 
New-ExchangeCertificate




The new cloned certificate will then be stamped with a new expiration date one 
year after the date you run the cmdlet.
