RE: Warnings from old Exchange 2003 First Administrative Group

[Robert Peterson]

Found where you pointed. Unfortunately under Replication, it shows replication 
with one of the current servers and PublicFolder, but I don't think it has 
anything to replicate. Under Statistics all items are "0".

Error 1129 is ecNoReplicaAvailable.

This means that the referenced public folder has no replicas.

Just delete the specifically named public folder. :P

>From within the PF Admin Tool, drill down to "System Folders\SCHEDULE+ FREE 
>BUSY" In the center pane, one of the entries you see should be 
>"EX:/o=Principia/ou=First Administrative Group".

Look at the properties of the PF, you should specifically note the Replication 
information - it should be empty, or only list servers which have been removed.

If it lists servers which have been removed (or GUIDs - same thing) then remove 
those servers from the replica list.

Then delete the PF.

Note that these instructions are very specific to ecNoReplicaAvailable. Which 
is why I wanted to see the entire event log message. :)

Ok... I'm tired of seeing this Warning... Event ID 3092

When we migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, I was told I could NOT 
remove "First Administrative Group".  Understood, while we were in mixed mode, 
but can I now? The old servers are long gone.

I investigated a little, and read many places where there was caution about 
removing this group and/or its connection the old Public Store... which doesn't 
exist anymore either.

A point in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

RE: Preventing Disgruntled Employees from Emailing Distribution Lists

We restrict who can send to groups, and we have a restriction on the number of

Subject: Preventing Disgruntled Employees from Emailing Distribution Lists

Management is trying to find ways to prevent a disgruntled employee from 
sending emails to specific distribution lists.  I can setup 'Message Delivery 
Restrictions' or 'Message Moderation', but that won't prevent the disgruntled 
employee from using the + in Outlook to expand the members of the distribution 
list.

My other option is to hide the distribution list from the GAL to prevent the + 
from expanding the members, but that would inconvenience other users who need 
to send to the hidden distribution list if they don't already have it in their 
nickname cache.

I'm out of ideas and would like to hear creative ideas from my fellow Exchange 
admins.  Thanks in advance.

RE: Allow SMTP relay for authenticated account

Michael,
Are you saying the default "Client " receive connector should allow 
already an authenticated user to use SMTP to relay to an external domain?

I do notice the settings within that connector, are set to offer Basic 
Authentication only but only after starting TLS.

Google'ing still seems to come up short. I see the need but no answers.

Now that were at Exchange 2010 SP2, I still cannot see how to allow a device or

Any ideas?

to proceed with caution as there doesn't appear to be a fix for whatever the

I upgraded our Exchange 2010 SP1 last week, all went great, except the

turn ON SSL, and it suggests, if you need, turning SSL back off by editing the 
web.config file in the OWA folder. However, I found it was the (Default web

starts there.

We have an 8 member DAG, 4 CAS/HUB and 4 MB servers... using Drain Stop & Stop 
on the "MS Load Balanced" CAS servers, along with moving the "active DB"  
allowed me to upgrade all the servers during the daytime without any of our

There is a different between "outlook" and "mapi/cdo".

If you can do "mapi/cdo", you are safe, regardless. Outlook x64 has known

As has been historically the case - try to avoid installing Outlook on an

Coming to this late, I'd bump the send limit to probably 20 MB.
I'd remove the receive limit entirely.  But this is based on our industry.  
People send us huge documents all the time.  We avoid having limits to deal 
with them.

Webfilter picking up Webmail traffic - Exchange 2010

[Robert Peterson]

Recently, we installed a new Web Content Filter.  It is designed to sit inline 
on the path to the internet where it will inspect all http and https traffic.  
Initially we did not install it into the internet path, as we wanted to 
configure several features before doing so.  When we connected the filter, it 
was in the same IP subnet as all of our other servers.  This is where the 
problem started.

When we connected the filter, it started receiving packets from our Outlook Web 
Access server.  And coincidentally OWA stopped working for us.  We removed the 
filter's Ethernet cable and voila, OWA started working again.  I changed IP 
addresses, and ports within the switch and it continued to follow the filter.  
Whenever I plugged into the filter, OWA stopped working and we saw the packets 
at the filter.  Both IP addresses were unused prior to use on the filter.  The 
ports were also known to be working.

I plugged a laptop directly into the filter and took a look at the dashboard 
and found something interesting.  All the traffic seen by the filter was from 
the OWA server or the autodiscover server.  This led me to try something new.  
I assigned the filter an IP address in a different subnet, configured the 
switch port properly, and the filter came online without being sent all the 
autodiscover and OWA packets (and OWA stayed up and running).

Anyone have any ideas what could be making autodiscover and OWA send packets to 
this filter when it is on the same subnet but not when it is on a different 
subnet?  Sounds like some kind of layer 2 problem, but I have no idea what it 
could be.

Thanks,
Robert

RE: Am I in a corner?

[Robert Peterson]

You are correct with the second observation.  The other difficulty seems to be 
the terminology used by all the various systems... volumes, partitions, etc. 
seem to mean different things depending on the vendor, but maybe that's just 
me. :)

Yes...  in Disk Manager  I have:

I am trying to understand as well.

Are you saying that you have all your Databases on the same LUN mapped via 
ISCSI to a single partition on the Exchange server, that's what it looks like 
by your diagram and description.
The partition is what would be available per your LUN configuration from your 
SAN, size, type, etc to create volumes on.

If you only have drive e and no other partitions after that then you should 
have no issue expanding the LUN, and then expanding the volume on the 
partition.  (Multiple datastores on one partition/volume.)

If when you open up Disk Manager you have multiple volumes on that partition  
then yes in that case when you add more space and try and expand Windows will 
only add to the last drive on that partition and not to the specific volume 
needing space. (One datastore per volume, multiple volumes on one partition)

Just trying to get a picture here..

If I grow the volume we are presenting from the SAN,  The MB server (Server

Allow SMTP relay by "Group" membership?

[Robert Peterson]

Currently within Exchange 2010, we do not allow anonymous relaying of mail to 
the outside except from specific internal IPs via the Relay Connector.

The problem I have is a network application being used that attempts to send 
mail from the local workstation via an SMTP tool from within the "fat client" 
of this application.  The mail is attempting to send from the local 
workstation.  If I add the IP of the workstation to the allowed IP list, I am 
sure Exchange will relay the mail just fine. But I don't relish the idea of 
managing "static" IPs for these multiple machines, across various subnets.

Is there a way to allow relaying via an AD group membership, either for the 
machine or user?

Thanks for any ideas,
Robert

keystrokes that I used since, oh, at least OL97, now I can't find the
headers in an email in my inbox.

I've got an email that's sitting in my inbox, and I don't want to open
it, but I want to find the headers.

I used to be able to open the context menu for the message
(right-mouse click, or use the Windows context key) and select
Options, which revealed, among other things, the headers.

I'm not finding that anywhere, and googling reveals that either I have
to open the email, or do this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg622917.aspx

I think it's long past time we visit the Redmond campus with
pitchforks and torches.

I have to build a C# addin to get this info now?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over?

Sheesh.

RE: Windows 2008 R2 SP1 patching in a DAG

[Robert Peterson]

That's how I've been doing for 6 months or so, in fact the last few times I did 
all the updates during daylight hours!

Exchange 2010 DAG includes... (4)CAS/HUB VMs and (4)MB VMs, (4)Hyper-V hosts

The only issues I have seen...
A few Outlook 2007 clients will lose authentication and be prompted for 
credentials when I reboot a single CAS server. Sometimes I have a Smartphone 
lose "sync" and the account has to be deleted and re-added on the phone.

Hi all,

Going to be patching the member servers of my DAG tomorrow with SP1 for Windows 
2008 R2. Anyone done this yet? My plan was simply to switchover, patch, 
switchover again, patch, balance the databases. Is it that simple or so I need 
to do some reading?

Thanks

"Previous versions" for a Public Folder item?

[Robert Peterson]

I have an owner of a "calendar" item within our Public Folders who would like 
me to roll it back as it existed yesterday. Is this easily possible or so much 
trouble I should be weighing the options?

All within an Exchange 2010 DAG environment.

Thanks,
Robert

Database wont shrink  unless you perform offline defrag and take the white 
space out of it.( this isn’t a good thing to do in general , create new DB and 
move MB into it is way better option in many cases) By saying this, when you 
moved out Let’s say 1 Gig worth the data from Exchange database, on the first 
online maintenance Exchange will mark these space as “Usable” and make it 
available to use again next time.

So think as a bucket holds bunch of e-mails ( which grows all the times (-: , 
which is the Exchange database itself, if you your bucket is 10 gig today , 
your backup is 10 Gig each time you do the backup, if you take 5 gig out the 
bucket , you still backup  10 gig since you are baking up the bucket itself and 
that is what you see from windows perspective, even in reality half of the 
bucket is empty,( White space)  Exchange will see the space and re-use it, 
without making the bucket bigger, when there is no white space to use, your 
bucket will start getting bigger and bigger so on…..

I hope this helps a bit

The data you moved became white space in the database.  The database will never 
reduce in size unless you dismount it and run an offline defrag on it to 
reclaim the space that it was using.  If you run the cmdlet below it will tell 
you how much available space is in the database after the moves you performed.

So, when you change AD sites (and therefore RPC CAAs), re-login isn't 
surprising. That being said, if you have your RPC CAAs and your autodiscover 
all set up properly - it should all "just work".

I'm sorry to say that there is no "magic bullet" to resolve your specific 
issue. I recommend you start here:

* Made sure the "Mounted" MB database was not on a MB server residing

* Once sure that there were no "mounted"DBs, updated and shutdown 
Exchange virtual MB & CAS servers.

* Updated and rebooted the single Hyper-V host.

* Once Hyper-V host was back up, started Exchange servers on same.
Before updating other Hyper-V host and Exchange servers, I "mounted" the DBs on 
the newly updated host and servers then repeated process.

I did this for each location and its 2 Hyper-V hosts.  I did do a Hyper-V host

We have an Exchange 2010 environment all virtualized across 4 Hyper-V hosts. 
Each host presents 1 MB server and 1 CAS/HUB server.  Exchange databases are 
setup in a DAG with 1 active and 2 replicated copies across 3 of the 4 MB 
servers... for example:

S-Hyper-V-01
S-EXCMB-01

As I applied Windows updates this month, even though I always kept the "active"

CAS servers.

The Username field in the login pop-up window was... CASserver\User.Name of 
course this would not work, until the user provided their domain instead, such

Am I missing something I should be doing before "mounting" a healthy copy on

Exchange 2003 & 2010 Public Folders

[Robert Peterson]

Just moved our existing Exchange 2003 Public Folders to our new Exchange 2010 
environment and discovered we had a programmer running a script that reads a 
specific Public Folder with calendars and writes that calendar data to a Google 
calendar.  His script does not work when he tries pointing it at Exchange 2010. 
 Till he figures it out, is there a way to re-establish a Public Folder on the 
2003 server that would replicate with the Exchange 2010 side?

Currently, we have a DAG with 4 DB servers, the Public Folder DB is on one of 
2010 servers, and replicated copy on another 2010 server. We still have the 
Exchange 2003 servers in the mix, but at this point everything is moved to the 
2010 side.

Just seeing if I can give this programmer a little more time.

Thanks,
Robert

RE: OUTLOOK Rule creation question for automated response to every email sent to a mailbox.

[Robert Peterson]

In Exchange 2010, you'll want to look into the options allowed when you set up 
a mailbox as a "resource", rather than a regular mailbox. You  may find more 
options that you haven't even considered.

All the best,

Subject: OUTLOOK Rule creation question for automated response to every email 
sent to a mailbox.

Greetings,
New to this list, but have been monitoring.
It looks very good and posting my first question.
My background is Groupwise but we recently migrated to EXCHANGE 2010 SP1.
Still learning the EXCHANGE 2010 environment - so my MS terminology may not be 
correct.

Below is the rule we are trying to set up - and I am hopefully missing 
something very simple:

We have a "shared mailbox"  (MEDIA) that campus users send equipment requests 
to on a regular basis.
We want an automated response to EVERY email sent to MEDIA mailbox indicating 
something like "your request has been received and we are working on this" or 
whatever.

The basic Automatic Replies ( Out of Office ) "wizard" will not do this as it 
will reply only once to a given user - which makes sense for  Vacation/ Out of 
Office rules.  However, our users will be sending regular emails to MEDIA that 
require a response each time.

I looked into manual rule creation, but not seeing how to set this up so it 
will provide an automated email response to EVERY message sent to MEDIA.

Ideally, this would be set up at the "shared mailbox" level so that the person 
that monitors that mailbox can change as needed.
However, I could also set up at the HUB TRANSPORT level if that is the only way 
to make this work.

Thanks for any help on this.
Please enjoy the holiday weekend.

Upgrade Standard to Enterprise Exchange 2010

[Robert Peterson]

We are in the middle of migrating Exchange 2003 to 2010. We have a dual 
environment setup working well. We have started migrating the mailboxes from 
2003 to 2010. All is well, but

We have discovered two of the mailbox servers were built as Exchange 2010 
Standard servers which is limited to 5 databases. We are being told we can 
apply our "Enterprise" license key and the servers will then be "Enterprise".  
However the only key that we know of comes down with the Enterprise download 
from Microsoft's License site, and its embedded in the download.

Does anyone know the "facts" about upgrading "Standard" to an "Enterprise" 
license?

Thanks,

RE: Meeting appointments in Outlook do not get synchronized on mobile devices

[Robert Peterson]

I think we have seen this issue too.  Occurs with a mailbox with
multiple delegates... usually a reoccurring event is changed, an
"invitee" sees the change within their Outlook client and OWA, but the
change is never seen on their PDA.

 

We are currently on Exchange 2003 Enterprise... hoping Exchange 2010 may
clear this issue.

 

What version of Exchange are other's using that are seeing this problem?

What kind of meeting is it?  Recurring?  There is an issue with
recurring appointments on mobile devices, especially iPhones, with
recurring appts that have no ending date.  Give it an end date of less
than 2yrs.

But in my experience, appointments and mobile devices don't always sync
and generally are flaky.

with Microsoft mobile devices.  Any suggestions?

Auto-archive uses the "modified" date (no it isn't listed in commonly

Something about how importing from a pst resets the modified date to
System.date.now(); Yes, it's a mis-feature (no matter what that Outlook

Email receipt/acknowledgement

[Robert Peterson]

Our Personnel department is trying to depend on the "read receipt"
within Outlook... of course the recipient has the ability to simply
ignore the request for a receipt, which defeats the department's need.

 

I've been asked to see if this feature can be modified to provide
feedback on the receipt of an email, independent of the recipient's
actions. Of course it still wouldn't prove a recipient actually read and
understood the email, but if it sends a receipt once the email is opened
I think they would be happy.

 

Is there a modification within Exchange/Outlook or even third party
products that would accomplish this goal?

 

Thanks for any ideas,

Robert

RE: Calendar Issues

[Robert Peterson]

I ran into similar issues with one of our execs not getting calendar
items setup by a delegate, but the exec WAS getting them in his Outlook
client. I had the exec add himself as OWNER to his Calendar folder in
Outlook.  You would think mailbox ownership would be all that is needed,
but once he added himself directly to his Calendar folder... his PDA
(iPhone now, but same issue before on his Treo) stayed up-to-date.

 

-Robert

I gave him these instructions:

Within the Outlook Client on a PC, Modify your Calendar Properties by
adding permissions to yourself as "owner". 
STEPS: All within the Outlook client. 
1. Open the "Folder List" module. (usually lower left pane) 
2. Find within the tree and right-click on your Calendar folder. 
3. Select Properties, then the Permissions tab. 
4. "Add" yourself if not listed, by click the ADD button and finding
yourself in the GAL (Address book) 
5. Give yourself "Owner" rights, then Apply and Close properties window.

CALs required for "Contacts"?

[Robert Peterson]

 

Does anyone know and can point me to documentation on whether Exchange
CALS are needed for email enabled contacts or distribution groups, since
there is only forwarding and no mailboxes on the Exchanger server.

 

My question:  Active Directory allows you to setup "Contacts" that do
not have security rights like "user" objects.  And these contacts can be
set to have a local domain e-mail address, but all mail is forwarded to
an outside mail system such as their Yahoo or Gmail account. There is no
mailbox storage on the Exchange server, thus the question on whether a
CAL is needed? I guess this question would also concern all AD
"Distribution" groups too, since it is doing the exact same thing.

 

Thank you and have a great weekend everyone,

Probably wise - particularly if his maibox is set to override conflicts.

Yes, but he is afraid to sync it, because it currently has all his
calendar items. He is afraid when he sync he'll lose them off his PDA
too.

Thanks,

Robert

I have a user that is claiming their calendar items are all
disappearing. We do not have any antivirus scanning the mailstores, and
the users mailbox looks normal. No other users have noticed any
problems.

 

On the user end... there are no delegates on his account and I do not
see items in his deleted folders or as recoverable items.

 

What may be going on???

 

Thanks for any advice on where I should dig deeper.

Robert

Does anyone have any links to any handy resources of exactly how to
utilize a room mailbox to manage scheduling for rooms?

 

This would be very useful to us but I'm clueless at how to use them
aside from just creating it.  I see lots of articles on how to create
them but cant seem to find anything useful on how to utilize them.

 

Thanks!

Knowledge of X400 connectors

[Robert Peterson]

Happy New Year to all !!
 
This may be a normal observation, but one I do not understand. 
 
Within our default E-Mail Addresses policy (Exch2003 Ent.) we do setup
one X400 connector for each user. What we see today is that some users,
and it appears random (sure it's not), now have more than one X400
connector setup, but they look identical, except one is designated the
primary. Is this something I should be concerned about?
 
Thank for any advice,
Robert
