RE: Exchange 2013 Port Reference?

2013-05-01 Thread Rick Berry
The ports are explained in a paragraph on Wikipedia ... I found this useful 
myself.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol

Microsoft Exchange Serverhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_Server 2013 
has an SMTP service listening on ports 25, 587, 2525, 465 and 475 depending 
upon server role and function. Port 25 and 587 for server and client 
connectivity, and 25 or 2525 and 465 on the Mailbox role for accepting internal 
SMTP connections (from other Exchange Servers in the organization), where 25 is 
the Hub Transport service for receiving SMTP from other SMTP servers and 465 is 
the Hub Transport service for receiving proxied connections from clients 
connected to the CAS Frontend Transport service. On servers that have the 
Client Access role (CAS) and the Mailbox role installed on the same machine 25 
and 2525 are in use - 25 for the Frontend Transport role (a CAS feature) and 
2525 for the Hub Transport service rather than port 25 running for both 
Frontend Transport and Hub Transport services. Port 475 is the Mail Delivery 
service and this is an SMTP server that takes email from the Hub Transport 
service and places in the mailbox databases on the local server where it is 
running.

I saw that, too. It was kind of helpful, but the terminological errors make me 
leery. E.g.: Port 475 is the Mail Delivery service and this is an SMTP server 
that takes email from the Hub Transport service and places in the mailbox 
databases on the local server where it is running. There is no hub transport 
service in Exchange 2013.

But thank you for the link! :)

Are you sure you're on 2007 Exchange?  Out of curiosity, I went to 
mail.philadelphiagroup.com/owa and it's a 2010 server.

That cert on that Exchange server is throwing errors, as it's an internally

We do same, commonly push to 25MB for 'normal' customers and 50MB for 
architects and engineers.  At both 25MB and 50MB, we usually bump into other 
peoples size requirements (it becomes a 'not our problem' issue), and for the

They're already using RSA tags for VPN access, they'd actually like to abandon

The suggested search helps somewhat, but is still RSA or Forefront UAG heavy

I've been asked to implement a certificate-based system to authenticate folks

my career, my google foo turns up some mildly helpful but not satisfyingly 
complete material.

Anyone know of a book/site that covers it comprehensively?  I understand the 
componentry (CA, configuring Exch2010/IIS for cert authentication) but can't 
find a single thorough reference.  A lot of what comes up is Exchange 
2007-related.

Kind of hoping that there's a chapter in an MBS book or other significant 
source material reference as I'm striking out on the first few pages of 
google-fu.

There's no ISA in play, basically have a situation where someone wants to lock 
OWA down to certs or MAC addresses for intellectual property reasons.

calendar/contacts/tasks ... for instance, it actually makes the task, but I get 
the same error trying to show it on screen.

RE: Cheap UC SSL CA?

there's nothing cheaper, and in a pinch you can hunt down the (very smart

but they work, and you'd have no reason to hunt them down.  Pretty sure Simon

Hey all,

I have a client using Exchange 2010 on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.  We send 
emails to the client with invoices through our ConnectWise system.  The user at 
the location has reported that the last 3 invoices she did not receive.  Our 
office manager then manually forwarded the emails with the attached PDF's and 
she received those okay.  So we started looking into the issue.  The office 
manager does not receive any bouncebacks, ConnectWise did not show any issues 
on their side, and all of our emails go through GFI/Katharion which is our spam 
filter service, and the message tracking logs show the emails are being 
delivered.

I pulled up the Receive and Send connector logs on the client's Exchange server 
and found nothing showing any kind of errors or dropping of messages.  In fact 
the test emails subsequently do not show up in the Exchange message tracking 
logs at all, but the Receive connector logs show an actual handshake with no 
errors.  The user simply doesn't get them, and they're not in any alternate 
folder in Outlook or in her Junk Email folder either.  We currently do not have 
any Antispam running on the server itself, and I have disabled Content 
filtering through the Shell (although I don't even see that it's installed at 
all.

I'm at a loss at where to go from here.

Thanks,

Jay

Performance / speed had degraded significantly on a single DAG member today 
(one of three), one of the meaningful errors we see is the below.I can't 
really find anything on '5820' specifically, I see things that dance around it, 
the only 5820's I google for come back with recovery storage group stuff.
Basically started with a rash of folks having outlook connectivity issues and 
slowness.  Took a bit longer than normal to gracefully fail the DBs over to 
another DAG member before we rebooted the box in question.



Hoping someone here has a better search/attack vector for me.





Information Store (5820) A significant portion of the database buffer cache has 
been written out to the system paging file.  This may result in severe 
performance degradation.

See help link for complete details of possible causes.

Resident cache has fallen by 27123 buffers (or 16%) in the last 614 seconds.

Current Total Percent Resident: 53% (136152 of 253240 buffers)

partial DAG restore, two of four dbs, sanity check

2011-01-18 Thread Rick Berry
Had a spate of drive failures across a three-server DAG last week (poweredge 
t710 firmware took out four drives across three machines inside of 24 hour 
period).

I'm back up and running/healed ... but on one of the three, they'd like to take 
the opportunity to test their Backup Exec 2010 restore abilities. 

I had already reseeded two of four dbs before this came up, they'd like to drop 
the other two back in from restores and then re-enable replication.

Does it work that way?  If I drop two DBs back onto that file system (current 
replication suspended on those two to this particular target), will re-enabling 
replication at that point just fill in the delta between the two points in time 
magically? 

Or is that my own wishful thinking?  

Already know that I have a short bit of work to just do a simple reseed of 
these two and I'm good to go, but they'd like to try the restore as a test.  
Symantec is suggesting that we need to tear that machine out of the DAG 
completely, restore whole thing and then re-enable, but I think they're 
possibly wrong.  Not sure what the diff would be between restoring two and 
re-replicating and restore four dbs/entire machine.

I lack insight/skill in knowing that exchange 2010 replication will magically 
fill in that delta (of about a week's email data) on that restored DB file 
structure.   I believed that it would 'just work', but am hesistant.

oracle/sql app relay through 2010 receive connector

2011-01-05 Thread Rick Berry
In the final stages of tearing down a 2003/2010 coexistence ... there's a 
legacy SQL app that used to relay through 2003, sending plaintext credentials 
(u...@domain.commailto:u...@domain.com, password visible in the script).

It's a legit mailbox on the Exchange system, it's on the custom connector I 
built to listen on port 25 internally from the specific VLAN it sits on ... 
I've flipped the settings on the connector to allow and relay for anonymous 
from that IP range, but in this case I may need to let it still authenticate 
that user with the plaintext.

I fiddled with it a bit yesterday, and can't get it to fly ... not certain if 
I'm bonking my head against the same issue as dealing with plaintext in 
POP3/IMAP (-logintype PlainTextLogin) or if I'm dancing around another problem.

Still works through 2003, but I can't get their same code to work through 2010. 
 I thought maybe they needed to change the script to use domain\user instead of 
u...@domain.commailto:u...@domain.com, but trialerror failed there.

Am I wrong in thinking it's the plaintext issue, or am I just missing the 
obvious?

exch2010 sp1 inbound issues?

2010-12-03 Thread Rick Berry
New 2010 SP1 DAG, two hub transports with inbound MX flipped on, co-existence 
mode with 2003 Exchange ... first two MX records point to Exch2010. 

Getting this from Verizon-sourced emails:

Error reading SMTP packet; response to dot-stuffed message expected; likely 
problem with network or remote SMTP server


Also having issues with inbound messages to us getting possibly black-holed, 
nothing shows in tracking (maybe I'm not looking in the right places) or 
getting delivered in a very delayed fashion.  The failures seem to be inbound 
from international destinations but not with scientific certainty.


I read a few things that talked about SMTP timing issues and MTU changes, but 
related to 2003. 

As an example, there's a consistent issue between one Verizon user to one 
internal user ... if they CC: our internal user's gmail account, it gets 
delivered quickly but either doesn't show up on our end with the dot-stuffed 
error above, or gets processed a day or more late, or just no-shows.

Any thoughts?  Before I crack open another PSS on this particular build out ... 
(fourth one! New record!)

2003-2010 SP1 'corrupt' moves, lose To-Do and Search Folders

2010-10-13 Thread Rick Berry
I've asked this in similar but not identical terms recently on list, have now 
run into a handful of other online folks who are experiencing similar issues.  
Looking for possible corroboration, or thoughtful possible workaround?

When moving mailboxes from 2003 to a 2010 SP1 DAG, a subset of users will only 
move if you set the corruption threshhold to a low number (like 5) ... those 
users then wind up ok on the other side, with the notable exception that 
'search folder views' like To-Do list and Unread Mail do not work.

I'm at this point not certain it's really 'corruption', in the traditional 
sense.  These mailboxes move 2003-2003 without a hitch, it's the 2003-2010 
move that is the issue.  From my experience and from earlier go-arounds with 
PSS, doing the same-server 2003 mailbox moves from one DB to another to clear 
possible logical corruption should make these all clean and movable to 2010 ...

Interestingly, if one flips on 'cached exchange mode' on the broken mailboxes, 
it then begins to work in general ... but this doesn't help for OWA or those 
clients that can't have .ost's ...

I've at this point found a few other folks on Technet boards seeing similar, 
one has gone so far as to point the finger at SP1, but it's all conjecture at 
this point ...

Has anyone else seen this in a 2003-2010 migration scenario? 

 I'm involved with PSS already but not really making headway there.  
Client-side outlook /switches don't resolve it, and I'd really like to avoid 
dumping several hundred mailboxes out to PSTs and then back into 2010 again if 
I can avoid it.

RE: prvs verification errors, exch2010/2003 coexistence environment outbound

2010-09-30 Thread Rick Berry
It was the backscatter filters in Forefront Protection for Exchange 2010 ... we 
left it flipped on on one of the transport servers, messages that got routed 
through its queue would fail foreign sender-verification routines.

I guess if you have that flipped on, the prvs tags that get pre-pended to the 
user email addresses cause some sender-verification vendors to fail on an

in the new mailbox, the tasks are still red flagged with some due dates, but

I'd pull out my handy-dandy copy of The MAPI Editor (MFCMAPI) and find out

immediately for you as being invalid in the item, then compare-and-contrast two

Typically but not always, I see these issues from corrupt dates.

do the move-mailbox reports persist somewhere locally after the request gets 
cleared from the EMC?  a colleague cleared it, not certain if they continue to 
live as a file on the local system or if they get zapped with the clearing of 
the move request.

this one wasn't just expired calendars, definitely chunks of email that were 
otherwise fine in 2003 until the move.

exch2010 sp1, crystal ball guess

2010-07-16 Thread Rick Berry
Knowing that SP1 for Exchange 2010 is beta, and acknowledging that no one can 
be perfectly accurate in making a guess ...

what's the gut feeling of folks here on a release month for SP1?

(wasn't sure if this was under NDA, so i know that there's a strong chance i 
won't get a real answer aside from 'later this year').

yes, i saw the rumormill items you refer to.  they were old and vague enough to 
make me ask, but i know the NDA drill (obviously i'm not one of the 
currently-anointed-ones).

i really want to know because of the economic impact on storage for current 
'deals in play', as the Online Archive-on-other-database feature is a game 
changer in that regard.

The people that know can't answer.

There is some scuttlebutt on the forums and intrawebs, but I can't even repeat 
that without violating NDA.

Could a few of you folks, if you are:

1] running Exchange Server 2007
2] on Windows Server 2008

Do me a favor and send me the output of vssadmin list writers  ?

Either here or privately.

I would appreciate it, thanks.

exch2007 to 2003 on same subnet, different domains

2008-09-15 Thread Rick Berry
Have a client that had to throw their Exchange box at us in an emergency, so 
it's sitting on the same subnet as our own house Exchange 2007 box.

They're on Exch2003.

I can't get email to route to it ... obviously it's trying to look it up 
outside and then hairpin the packets back in through our firewall ... what I 
can't figure out is how to to just tell my Exchange box to send that domain's 
email direct to it's internal IP ...

I tried a send Connector/smarthost in Exchange 2007, am scratching my head a 
bit but hoping one of you all has a quick wow you're a dummy answer for me.

I basically need to send all email for 'x.com' direct to a LAN ip internally 
instead of trying to have it go out and back in again to the same subnet.

RE: Update: Exchange on VM

I'm going to infer that means support you can get from a PSS call versus 
it'll actually run on it.  8^)

Subject: Update: Exchange on VM

Well, here's a kink in my plans... Microsoft tells me that they don't
support running Exchange 2007 on a virtual server now, and will only
support it for certain roles in the future. They wrote:

Right now we don't support virtualization of Exchange 2007. After
Hyper-V ships we will have different messaging. I'm sure it will be
around virtualization with Hyper-V. That said only some roles will have
support. I believe we are leaning toward CAS, HUB, and Edge Transport
that will be supported and Mailbox and UM Server Roles will not be
supported for virtualization. Again this isn't official but expected.

My problem is that all of my roles are handled by a single server. I'm
not looking to change that.

 I'm hoping to consolidate a few servers into one bigger server, and am
 looking at running Exchange 2007 on a virtual Server 2008 machine. Is
 anyone doing this successfully? Any caveats?

exchange 2007 converts to asian-looking text?

2008-03-27 Thread Rick Berry
I have a situation where inbound HTML email from a particular place is getting 
converted into asian-font-based gobbledegook …

Shows up as normal thru my own exch2007-based system, but thru theirs I get 
this kind of stuff:

anyone ever seen that?  I’m kind of stumped on it.

it’s only from one specific domain, all other HTML email seems to survive.  If 
I reforward the same email from my system to theirs, it’s fine too.
