Re: 2010 migration
I think I misread your question. Are you saying firewall rules which direct appropriate traffic from the Internet directly to your CAS servers in the trusted zone instead of having your CAS servers in the DMZ?

Turns out that there were two (2) web sites on the server, both titled Default Web Site. One really was the default web site, but the other is the one that contains the OMA virtual server. The original was bound to the IP address of the machine, and the site containing the OMA virtual server was set to use All Unassigned. (I love managers who cowboy through things...) So, I set up a second IP address on the server, and assign the second web site to it. Tried the ESM to manage the PFs again - and got a completely different error, asking me to check for an invalid host header. So, I went back to the original web site, and yes, indeed, there was text in the host header field for the site. I cleared that, tried again, and viola (I'm not French, and I like strings) - success. Just one for the archives... However, I wonder if I could have just used 127.0.0.1 for the OMA site - maybe someday I'll try that.

The original intent was to consolidate e-mail for the entire state, and to cut costs of each department running their own. Great idea. However, implementation is a nightmare. Microsoft O365 is what we’re going to, but here’s the catch. They are treating the entire state as one company. The problem with that, is that we are about 160 separate departments, each with our own users, etc. So, when you treat us as one company, how do you allow, for instance, me, to manage my users within Exchange. If you give me access to EMC, EMS or ECP, then I can make changes that could potentially affect other departments as well as my own. Well, we can’t have that. So they’re taking that access away from all departmental Exchange Admins. For me to create a mailbox, I have to go into ADUC, and use the Attribute Editor, and manually manipulate about 6 or 7 different attributes. An automatic sync happens every 30 minutes, and the creation gets processed back at Microsoft, in either San Antonio, or Chicago. Which could take up to a few hours. If I make a typo during that process?

*Subject:* regtrans-ms and blf files
** **
I backup my single Exchange 2010 server (running on 2008 R2) every night
using Windows Server Backup.
** **
I'm running a bit low on system drive space and I discovered that every
night when the backup runs, three files are created in two separate
locations that are never deleted. The file names and locations are:
** **
c:\users\accountname\
ntuser.dat{long_GUID_here}.TMContainer0001.regtrans-ms*
***
ntuser.dat{long_GUID_here}.TMContainer0001.regtrans-ms*
***
ntuser.dat{long_GUID_here}.TM.blf
** **
c:\users\accountname\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\
usrclass.dat{long_GUID_here}.TMContainer0001.regtrans-ms
usrclass.dat{long_GUID_here}.TMContainer0001.regtrans-ms
usrclass.dat{long_GUID_here}.TM.blf
** **
The backup process writes its output to a network share on another server
using a domain service account configured using the server backup wizard.
The offending files are created in the profile of the service account on
the Exchange server.
** **
The regtrans-ms files are always 512k and the blf files are always 64k.
Across the two locations, these files are consuming 1.4GB of disk space.
(The backups have been running this way since 3/21/2011, so there are
almost 2000 files in each location.)
** **
Is it safe to delete these files? I can't find much documentation about
them, but they appear to be related to registry transactions made as part
of the backup process, and my guess is that they aren't being deleted
properly for some reason. The backups complete successfully and there are
no related errors in either the application log or the system log. The
only entries there indicate successful backups.
** **
If it matters, the backup type is Full server and the WSB Performance
Settings value is set to Normal backup performance.
** **
Thanks for any ideas about this,
** **

Re: Exchange 2010 AD Topology service weirdness
Further update: At least some of the weirdness (the disappearing records) appears to be related to a known bug in Server 2008 and 2008 R2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2408181 Why the 6TO4 adapters that weren't there before appeared after rebooting is still a mystery. There is similar behavior documented in Win 7 and 2008 R2, but the set of circumstances doesn't exist on my DCs (there are obviously no wireless hosted networks). http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980486 On Sat, Jun 30, 2012 at 7:38 PM, Richard Stovall rich...@gmail.com wrote: Update.

Re: Some messages are sent, but stay in Outbox
The prize was that they didn't charge one of my Technet PSS calls against me. Not bad, really. But seriously, the few times I've had to call PSS over the years, the level of service and expertise has been very, very good. My experience has been that they're really quite good. This particular bug has apparently manifested itself in the wild before, so no kewpie doll for me.

Thank you. I have been fairly certain that a PSS call is in my future ever since this showed up (right after I switched them out of cached mode, which had its own issues...)

Re: Some messages are sent, but stay in Outbox
Good thought, but not practical in this case. At least not yet, anyway. We're not down, per se. I just have some annoyed / confused users and a fair amount of my time spent checking whether outgoing messages have actually been sent. (In all cases so far, the messages have gone out.) I've opened the PSS case. Will let y'all know when I know something more.

Re: Moving to 2010 - Spam filter options?
I think you'll like the Barracuda. Most users do, it seems. You *_will_* have to spend some time in the beginning training it and tweaking its settings, that's for sure. No way of getting around it. At $work we do not use the per-user quarantine feature. We're small enough, and we've got the various anti-spam settings honed well enough, that IT moderates all incoming quarantined messages. The total number of those messages amounts to 20 / week, so it's not a big deal. That posture, in and of itself, eliminates a lot of hassle for IT since we don't manage a Barracuda client for each e-mail-enabled user. You will need to investigate what mixture of options works best for your organization, of course. Best of luck, RS On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 11:15 PM, Eldridge, D K, d...@parkviewmc.com wrote: Thanks Richard, my thinking is the same about Vipre on exchange.

Re: Outlook Delays since Exchange 2010 SP2 applied
Curiously, I had a similar report today after applying SP2 last weekend. The report was from a user with multiple mailboxes configured in Outlook 2010. She stated that she never saw a particular inbound message (cached mode) in Outlook, but did see it in OWA. The mailbox in question is accessed by 6 users, all on Outlook 2010 except one who is on a Mac with Mac Outlook 2011. The user in question was on a Mac until a few days ago, and had become accustomed to the vagaries of Mac Outlook 2011. That's why she checked OWA out of habit.

Re: How do you...
This was discussed here some time back.

I’d like to know how others are accessing Exchange admin “stuff”. For example, ECP.

Re: One Mailbox Many Addresses
With Outlook 2010, you can do it out of the box by creating a second account and adding the Exchange mailbox to the user's existing Outlook profile. Depending on how you want to do it, you may need/want to give the user full control rights to the second mailbox. (One side note is that when you move to Exchange, 2010 the automap feature may introduce confusion. It did to me, anyway, until I figured out what was going on.) With Outlook 2003 you have to do something extra. I always used Extra Outlook and multiple Outlook profiles for my folks who needed completely separate e-mail identities. This allows the user to have multiple instances of Outlook open at one time. You can also use one profile with certain 3rd party add-ins, or setup a distribution group for the second address and give the user rights to send from it. There are pluses and minuses to each answer and you just have to try out the various options and see what works best for your environment.

Re: Conditional forwarding as Server rule
After another cup of coffee... You can also do this administratively by modifying the user's Exchange-related account properties in ADUC. On a system with the Exchange-aware version of ADUC installed, go to the Exchange General tab of the user's account properties and modify the Delivery Options... as appropriate. Of course, the user can't do this himself, but it meets the other criteria. If you go this route, and the forwarding address is not in your organization, I think you'll need to create a contact in AD for the temporary recipient.

Barracuda Exchange Anti-Virus agent
I was reading the release notes of the latest Barracuda Spam appliance firmware version and came across the feature listed in the subject. Anyone out there using this?

Re: I feel like I'm missing something obvious
The RCPT TO command on line 4 is generating a 250, which means it has been accepted as a legitimate recipient, right? It looks like after that is when it is being rejected and the NDR generated.

Re: I feel like I'm missing something obvious
I totally believe that the address is legit. From what I can tell*, it is being accepted by Exchange when the Barracuda attempts to send messages on. It doesn't look like Exchange is rejecting the message because of the recipient's address. I think that's a red herring and something else is happening later on. A few questions: Does this happen to every single message sent to jd...@example.com? Was the recipient able to receive messages of the type in question in the past, or is this new behavior? Are there other recipients that can successfully receive messages sent to u...@example.com? Can you telnet directly to Exchange from inside your firewall and send a message to jd...@example.com manually? Does this have anything at all to do with your subdomain question a while ago? * I'm no expert, and I haven't played one on TV.

Re: what type of cert to use for exchange 2010
I'm certainly no expert on this, but the simple answer, to me, depends on whether you will have any clients that will be accessing your Exchange server (I'm presuming a single server) using more than one domain name. If so, SAN cert. If not, wildcard _*may*_ do it. If your internal AD domain is different from your public domain(s), then you need a SAN cert. If not, consider a wildcard cert, but only under certain circumstances. It seems that, in most cases, the greater flexibility of a SAN cert far exceeds the incremental increase in cost over a single domain wildcard cert.

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.

Re: AD site for Exchange 2010
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.

Re: New child domain in existing single domain forest.
Thanks. I'm considering a child domain, but the overall complexities, pros and cons of that are not actually what I'm asking about. I'm only asking about the Exchange-related considerations. I've administered AD in a forest with lots of child domains, but I did not handle Exchange in that gig.

Anyone have any links handy that describe the ins and outs of this type of simple scenario? Characteristics of the environment Both environments are small. ~50 users at HQ and ~12 at the new site. Connectivity between the two geographically distant sites will be VPN. HQ domain is 2008R2 FFL and DFL. Any new child domain would also be 2008 R2 DFL. At HQ, I have Exchange 2010 Standard running on Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. All roles are on a single monolithic server. Potential future Considerations I would like to add a second Exchange 2010 server at the remote site at some point in the near future. Both for availability reasons and so that the remote mailboxes will be hosted locally. We may be adding two additional companies in the next year. This would mean two additional physical locations. I have to assume VPN connectivity between sites. MPLS or similar may not be in the cards. Thanks for any input.

Re: Analysing e2k10 transaction logs
I think the OP is referring to the Exchange database's transaction logs, which are not human readable text. That said, I did run across the link below by Googling exchange transaction log parser. It mentions 2007, but may be applicable to 2010 as well. Basically, the author uses the *nix strings command to find readable text and then slices and dices the output a bit. It's very much like what Kurt proposes, but takes into account that the Exchange logs are not pure text. Looks very useful, actually. The comments are worth reading too, as is often the case. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/scottos/archive/2007/07/12/rough-and-tough-guide-to-identifying-patterns-in-ese-transaction-log-files.aspx On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 6:57 PM, Kurt Buff kurt.b...@gmail.com wrote: If that's a single file, I'd use a file splitter to make that into about 1,000 files, and then take the first 20 lines out of each file.

Mailbox permissions to all mailboxes in a 2010 database
We're in the process of deploying CRM 2011 at work. One aspect that needs to be configured is the e-mail router, and I've chosen to use a forward mailbox. The next step is to deploy rules to all the users' mailboxes. The problem is that I need to grant permissions that allow the account running the rule deployment wizard access to all the mailboxes in a database. I've Googled this and there are lots of answers out there. The one that seem the most straightforward is: Get-MailboxDatabase -identity “[mailbox database name]” | Add-ADPermission -user [username] -AccessRights GenericAll This seems like it would have the desired effect on existing mailboxes and ones created in the future. Will this work if the account I specify is my Exchange admin account, or should I use a different account just for this purpose? My admin account's current Exchange 2010 roles are Organization Management and Discovery Management.

Re: Mail flow question
Late to the party here. You've probably gotten it resolved already... Unless I'm missing something, I don't see why an SMTP connector wouldn't do exactly what you want as long as the route from A to B through the VPN is correct. One thing I don't understand is why you wouldn't have an SMTP connector at B for emails going to A. Why add the extra overhead of going out over the net and back in? (Bandwidth limitations of the VPN?)

A owns B and has VPN connection between. A would like to change B's MX to point to A's Barracuda for better spam/virus filtering, then have Barracuda deliver mail directly to B's server over VPN. This has already been tested to work. Need to verify if setting up an SMTP connector on A's server to point to B's server for internal mail delivery is required. I'm thinking it would be because I could see issues with A's server trying to deliver email to B's and having to loop out to it's own IP and come back through the Barracuda. Outbound from B would still go out their IP and it shouldn't be a big deal for mail flow back to A to go through the net like normal. I've googled for some examples of this but all I can find are examples of setting up a trust relationship between domains and I don't want to do that. --- 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 --- 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: Two Exchange 2010 bugs...
::knocks wood:: I haven't seen either of these. On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 1:26 PM, Leedy, Andy ale...@butlerschein.com wrote: I found two bugs in Exchange 2010. They both have to do with services starting in the proper order. Or in this case the incorrect order. 1) MSExchange ADAccess Event ID's 2601, 2604, 2501 in application logging every 15 minutes. This happens after every reboot and continues every 15 minutes because Exchange services startup before the server is able to talk to the AD. The solution according to Microsoft is restart the Exchange AD Topology service. It sucks to restart that service every time you reboot. Restarting the Exchange AD Topology service, restarts ALL the Exchange services. Here’s a link to the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2025528 *Cause:* “During a restart of the server, the operating system queries Active Directory to get its AD Site information. On a Windows 2008 R2 server, this will sometimes fail. As the Exchange services are starting, it also will do a query for its AD Site and that too will fail. Windows will continue to try and determine its AD Site name and will eventually succeed. However, Exchange does not re-try the query and the above errors are logged in the application log every 15 minutes.” 2) Microsoft Exchange Forms-Based Authentication service doesn’t start at boot because Web Publishing service has not yet started. Unless you start the Exchange Forms-Based Authentication service, your CAS OWA is down. Microsoft’s solution is start the service. Rant On I hope Microsoft addresses these issues in a future rollup. I would have thought that by SP1 issues like this would have been fixed. That’s one reason I didn’t push for 2010 when it first came out. It seems like no MS software is stable/usable until at least SP1. By the time the issues are resolved though, the next version is out. In Exchange 2007, there was a CCR replication issue that logged erroneous errors. I reported it to MS and spent many hours helping them test patches. They never did fix the issue so I just learned to ignore the errors in the Event log. I was hoping somehow Exchange 2010 would be different. /Rant Off Until then I guess I’ll just run this script whenever the server is rebooted. #Restart Services after reboot. net stop MSExchangeTransportLogSearch net stop MSExchangeTransport net stop MSExchangeServiceHost net stop MSExchangeRPC net stop MSExchangeProtectedServiceHost net stop MSExchangeMailboxReplication net stop MSExchangeFDS net stop MSExchangeAntispamUpdate net stop MSExchangeAB net stop MSExchangeADTopology net start MSExchangeADTopology net start MSExchangeAB net start MSExchangeAntispamUpdate net start MSExchangeFDS net start MSExchangeMailboxReplication net start MSExchangeProtectedServiceHost net start MSExchangeRPC net start MSExchangeServiceHost net start MSExchangeTransport net start MSExchangeTransportLogSearch net start MSExchangeFBA ** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE - The information transmitted in this message is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

the SCC-1203 and SCC-1204 codes along with the error text below and it led
me to Comcast's forum. That in turn led me to posts saying the target email

to be sent to, which then led me to search for blacklisting and I found the
domain blacklisted on two sites, which I went to and manually asked them to
remove us by putting our external email server ip address into the forms on
the blacklist sites.
However, just trying it now from Comcast still causes it to fail

issue because I hadn't heard about any other failures from other domains

the other party. What you're describing, unless I misunderstand, is a
situation where outside parties are unable to send to you.

(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124375.aspx) I cannot find anything there about duplicate detection, but there is information around the interwebs that describes a pair of registry settings which can be used to tune duplicate detection at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Server Name\Private/Public-Guid\Track Duplicates and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Server Name\Private/Public-Guid\Background Cleanup. The former does not exist on my 2010 server in that location, but does exist at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersPrivate\Track Duplicates and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersPublic\Track Duplicates. Is duplicate message detection documented anywhere for 2010? I would hate to loose the re-deliver capability as an occasionally useful tool, though I do realize that in a perfect world it should be unnecessary.

Exchange 2010 setup creates mailbox?
It's entirely possible that I've lost my mind, but I have to ask a question. My formerly non-mail-enabled admin account, the one I used to setup Exchange 2010, now has a mailbox on the 2010 server. I've run repadmin /showobjmeta and all of the mail-related attributes of my admin account (such as proxyAddresses, mailNickname, msExchMailboxGuid, etc.) show version numbers of 1 and creation time/date of last Saturday at 11:30 AM. That is right when I was installing Exchange 2010. Did the Exchange 2010 setup create a mailbox for the account under which it was run? If so, can I delete the mailbox and still administer Exchange with that account? (I will have 2003 in the mix for a few more weeks as well.)

Re: Exchange 2010 setup creates mailbox?
Oy! Just when I thought I was out (of having a mail-enabled admin account), they pull me back in. Thanks for the explanation. On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 1:47 PM, Michael B. Smith mich...@smithcons.comwrote: Exchange installation is a catch-22 situation. For various reasons, the initial install account for Exchange needs the following privileges: Enterprise Admin (forest updates) Schema Admin (schema updates) Domain Admin (domain updates) Exchange Admin (legacy Exchange updates) Organizational Admin (for the new Exchange organization) If you don’t use the command-prompt to do your install, the GUI has no choice but to assign the account a mailbox. That is because (for various interesting reasons too obtuse to go into here, but basically dealing with separation of authority in AD and Exchange) in order to administer Exchange you have to have an Exchange mailbox. I EXPECT (but I do not know this – it’s just what I would do) that in Exchange.Next there will be two setups – one for “AD Preparation” and one for “Exchange Installation”. And that’s because there is lots of pressure to not support mailboxes on high privilege accounts. But for right now – I’d leave it be. Regards, Michael B.

Re: MSExchange Assistants Events 9017, 9042 and 9025
Well, now things are interesting (and a bit weird). I moved the mailbox to a second Exchange 2010 mailbox database created for archive mailboxes, and was then able to open it in OWA. For additional giggles, I moved it back to the original database and initial attempts to open it in OWA generated a Microsoft.Mapi.MapiExceptionMailboxSoftDeleted exception. (I've got the full details if necessary.) The mailbox is also now visible in Disconnected Mailbox. After waiting a bit, subsequent attempts to open it in OWA work just fine. It is also accessible via Outlook 2007. All of this despite the fact that it shows as disconnected. It's like a second, viable mailbox was created in the move to the second Exchange 2010 database, and the original one is orphaned awaiting deletion. I'll hold off doing anything else in case the current state lends itself to figuring out what went wrong initially, or any other useful diagnostics.

Good to know about the former. On the possiblity of replication issues, it sure doesn't seem like it. Repadmin /showrepl is clean on both DCs, dcdiag shows no errors on both DCs, and the event logs are also free of errors. Perhaps the replication issue is the quick trigger finger on the part of the admin. Maybe I'm expecting things to be done immediately, and need to wait a minute or two after most procedures.

Re: MSExchange Assistants Events 9017, 9042 and 9025
Thanks Michael. We are a tiny shop. Single site, single domain, 2008 R2 DFL/FFL, and only two DCs at the moment. No one that I know of has modified the default replication intervals, and ordinary changes such as user account modifications via ADUC are replicated almost immediately. To double check, I searched for how to modify intra-site replication and the results ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214678) pointed me to two registry keys at HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters, neither of which exists on either DC. A little further searching leads me to believe that this is a normal scenario for 2008 R2. Regarding Exchange 2010, it is SP1 with no URs. I was hoping an updated version of UR3 would be issued soon, so I haven't yet applied UR2. I suppose I should go ahead and install UR2. A big thanks to both you and Missy for all the help.

Outlook threw all kinds of errors and OWA would not access the mailbox and gave a message to the effect that it wasn't available because it was still being moved, which was inaccurate. I fought with it for a while, but would up deleting the user and mailbox and working with another of the test users. Everything has gone fine since the first one, and now I've got 2 production user mailboxes on 2010. The warning in the App log I'm writing about refers back to the deleted user/mailbox, and is in event 9042. The user is specified in 9025, the third of the events. Here they are, in all their delicious glory. 1st - 9017 - Information Service MSExchangeMailboxAssistants. Calendar Sync Assistant for database Mailbox Database 2019011809 (f47f1a87-8e13-4e83-a9a4-4f1a666fccad) is entering a work cycle. There are 1 mailboxes on this database. 2nd - 9042 - Warning Service MSExchangeMailboxAssistants. Calendar Sync Assistant for database Mailbox Database 2019011809 (f47f1a87-8e13-4e83-a9a4-4f1a666fccad) is exiting a work cycle.

Calendar Sync Assistant skipped 1 mailboxes on database Mailbox Database 2019011809 (f47f1a87-8e13-4e83-a9a4-4f1a666fccad).

I thought about creating a new DB, moving the live mailboxes, and deleting the current DB, but it seems like a lot of work when there is probably some cleanup mechanism available. If it matters, I deleted the user/mailbox 3 days ago using the EMC GUI. Any thoughts about how to fix this are appreciated. (Any thoughts about the mailbox move weirdness are welcome too.)

2010 SP1 Update Rollup 2
I've installed Exchange 2010 SP1 into an existing Exchange 2003 organization and all seems well so far.

Speaking of certs
I'm about to begin the transition from Exchange 2003 to 2010. I'm running through the procedure a second time in a virtual playpen, and things are going well. One thing I don't have a great handle on is what names should be on the SAN cert I need to order for production. Even though we have a tiny environment (~50 mailboxes total), we have 3 companies with different domain names. Each domain has both mobile clients and external users running Outlook anywhere. Our initial deployment of 2010 will be a single server with all roles. We intend to add a second server in a few months, also will all roles. We don't intend to buy a load balancer for the CAS role. We'll just repoint to the second server in an emergency. I've combed the list archives and here is what I can come up with for what should be on the SAN cert. mail.domain1.com (OWA will be mail.domain1.com/owa) autodiscover.domain1.com mail.domain2.com (OWA will be mail.domain2.com/owa) autodiscover.domain2.com mail.domain3.com (OWA will be mail.domain3.com/owa) autodiscover.domain3.com servername1.internaldomain.local (1st server deployed at launch) servername2.internaldomain.local (2nd server deployed later) Am I missing anything? Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

I looked at the kit of the two books that was recommended - unavailable right now. so I looked at them separately: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Best Practiceshttp://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Exchange-Server-2010-Practices/dp/0735627193/ref=pd_cp_b_1by Jagott Stidley And: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Inside Outhttp://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Exchange-Server-2010-Inside/dp/0735640610/ref=pd_sim_b_2by Tony Redmond I started reaching for the credit card, however, when I realized that they were 900 and 1200 pages, respectively, I paused (because I have 9 days, 1 wife, and 2 boys - ages 5 4). I'm not averse to reading (a definite requirement in our field), however trying to dig through something of that magnitude in that timeframe probably isn't going to happen... So, I dug, and found this book, which looks like it might be a good starting point (before I delve into the other two).

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...)

According to MS...The first routing group connector between Exchange 2010
and Exchange 2003 is created and configured during installation of the first
Hub Transport server role in an existing Exchange organization. Perform this
procedure if you have planned your routing topology and decided to create
additional connectors between Exchange versions.
I've got both the Exchange 2003 and 2010 servers sending mail out to the
internet...but I can not seem to get mail flowing between the two servers.
I am not getting outside mail flowing into the 2010 box yet either, but
that is due to my firewall rules...which I will change when mail is flowing
between the two servers.
I have the two hub transport receive connectors (client and default) that
were automatically created as well as the send connector that I manually
created for outbound email.
Any ideas appreciated.

Re: Exporting ALL mailbox content to PST?
I have to archive stuff out of a couple of our large mailboxes about once a quarter. I tend to put Outlook into online mode instead of cached mode, and only move a few hundred items at a time. It just seems to work better that way over grabbing thousands of items at a time in cached mode. Outlook 2007 screeches to a halt (and sometimes crashes) if I don't take the extra steps. Maybe something to think about and experiment with. Or maybe not...

Re: 2010 Practical mailbox size limitations?
Quick follow up question. Should the 'mainline' folders have fewer than a total of 100k items across all of them, or is that figure per folder? I've only got one user approaching that many total items in his mailbox. (The co. owner, of course.) Thanks, RS Speed? Perhaps. The mainline folders should have 100K or fewer items in them (e.g., Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.). Also, without getting into too much detail on the structure of an OST (you can find it on Microsoft’s technet if you are really interested), there is a “folder of folders”. Basically a folder that contains pointers to every other folder. You don’t want that to approach 100K items either. Also, once you get above the 10-15 GB mark, you should be looking at least at 7200 RPM disk; and above 30 GB you might want to look at SSD. Plus assume that Outlook is going to use 2 GB RAM. Now, that’s all client side. On the server side, Exchange doesn’t care one bit. Validation was done up to 100 GB and the published maximum size is 16 TB (although not a validated size). In fact, you can logically assume that a Public Folder database is a single mailbox. There are people with PF databases that are many hundreds of GB in size. Regards, Michael B.

Hi guys, Happy New Year :) Thanks to everyone that's helped throughout this year and so many others! Quick question. In Exchange 2010, is there a recommended size limit for mailboxes? I'm trying to figure out, from a database perspective, why there would be. Whether 10 mailboxes combine to make 10GB, or one mailbox is 10GB, I wouldn't think it would make much difference. We're using Exchange 2010 Enterprise, and using Outlook 2007 clients that are used online with Exchange (not cached.) My reason for asking is that I would like to get mail items out of PST's for one of our mailboxes, and this could cause the mailbox to grow to about 20-40GB in size. I'm trying to figure out of this poses a stability risk. Thoughts?
