The Exchange installation folder includes an Updates folder. The Updates folder supports a new installation of Exchange. When you perform a new Exchange installation, you can copy an update rollup to the Updates folder. In this scenario, the update rollup package is applied during the installation of Exchange. To perform a supported new installation, follow these example steps: 1. Copy the Exchange 2010 RTM files to a local directory on the server or to a network share. 2. Place the appropriate update rollup package in the Updates subdirectory. 3. Install Exchange. The update rollup is automatically applied during the installation of Exchange. The Updates folder isn't supported for use during a service pack installation. Therefore, you can't include (that is, slipstream) an update rollup along with the installation of a service pack. The slipstream installation of an update rollup during a service pack installing hasn't been tested. Therefore, you may experience unintended results. To perform a supported upgrade installation, follow these example steps: 1. Install Exchange 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a computer that is running Exchange 2010 RTM together with Exchange 2010 Update Rollup 1. 2. Install Exchange 2010 SP1 Update Rollup 2.

Today I applied several critical updates from Microsoft on the server that has the FSW. Now I am getting 1069 and 1558 events in the cluster log every 15 mins. Looking at the FSW location I see Witness.log file and a current timestamp. I am able to move the cluster group around and it comes online with no issue. Without going through each of the patches to see if there is one that stands out or remove the patches, I wanted to see if the group has seen this. The servers are running Windows 2008 R2 SP1, and the DAG members have the cluster patch KB2550886.

No AV on the server (except manual scan of OS, DB's are not touched). After some Googling, it appears that AV could be causing this. We did disable the AV email checking on the client, and unchecked the AV Exchange Client extension (in Add-ins), and that seems to have solved the problem. Our current AV is F-prot, by Frisk (based in Iceland). I've heard some other AV's have this issue. Have other people seen this? Other possible solutions? Bigger question. Does anybody see a problem with leaving the setup this way? The AV is set to check file activity (when a file is accessed, the file is checked by the AV), so are we safe enough?

We had someone invite our CEO to a meeting. It showed as tentative which is to be expected. The invite was about a month ago, and was never accepted, but he knew it was there as a 'placeholder'. Then one day last week it disappeared from his calendar. Per his side, This seems to happen when he hasn't accepted them for an undetermined amount of time. It happened today with a meeting that he was invited to over a month ago. What I have checked and gone over with the folks who access his calendar: 1 - See who has delegate access to Dean's calendar. We removed all permissions for delegates to approve meeting requests from his calendar for this very reason. 2 - if someone is a delegate and does not ACT on a calendar event, if they delete it, that will remove it from his calendar. They need to set up a folder called CEO Requests and just move the calendar request to that for now. This has been true for as long as I have managed calendars but I am hoping to see a change in 2010. 3 - Simply do NOT DELETE any calendar requests as the LAST ACTION taken is what gets recorded.. even if he has already accepted it. Is there a setting that removes an item as tentative from a calendar on a certain date (or something)?? I checked whether it was sent with an expiration and it wasn't. I'm really not sure why this is happening as I've managed others calendars for many years and never seen the problems we encounter with this one CEO's mailbox. I would love suggestions to make this more stable.

RE: RE: RE: Ex2007 mailbox deletion/recreation question - LegacyExchangeDN X500
For the people I had that were accidently deleted and then recreated adding the X500 address fixed the issue. Before the x500 was added if the person did a reply to an existing message the bounce would happen. Also had some that bounce on new messages and that is where the person either had a contact, was still using the name cache, and in a couple of cases being in cache mode. For the last 2 I removed cache mode and clear the name cache and deleted the files in their Outlook profile location.

Well, I actually had not put the X500 address inuntil today - My original question was whether or not I needed to do that. More reading, the comments so far on this thread, and a couple more users having trouble emailing the individual prompted me to add the X500 address for the individual (the original mailbox that was deleted had one, but most of the people in the organization do not have X500 addresses, so I wasn't sure it was needed). The X500 address shows up in the Outlook properties if I turn cached Exchange mode off, but does not if I turn it back on, even after forcing a GAL update and downloading the OAB. If I create a new Outlook profile, the X500 address shows up in Cached Exchange mode. I'm wondering if I need to just delete and create new local Outlook profiles for the users who are having trouble, but that's a pain. I'm not liking the way this is turning out. Why can't something hat was originally a server issue remain a server issue? As for your second question, originally they were responding to old messages/calendar invites, but we've seen this happen on new emails as well, I BELIEVE.

RE: Active Syn:Remote wipe
On a iphone the entire device is erased and you have to plug in to iTunes to reload the iOS. On Android devices, it depends on the carrier/make/model/version #. The 2.0 versions did not seem to do anything with a wipe command, but we have tested several 2.1 and 2.2 devices, all of which seems to take it back to factory setup and in some cases it erases the add in memory card. Looks like every variation of the Android acts a little different with ActiveSync polices, so just test each type to verify what works or doesn't work for your setup. From: Michael B.

CAS array question
I am working on my Exchange 2010 upgrade project and having a issue with the whole multiple site CAS array naming. Primary Site: Redundant CAS, HT, Mailbox servers Split DAG to replicate to DR site All users mailbox will be active at this site DR site: CAS, HT, Mailbox servers DAG copy of mailbox databases So I create a CAS array at each site, CASA-Primary and CASA-DR. What do I use for the FQDN for each CAS array? Can I use the same FQDN in each array, say Outlook.company.com, and the DNS entry would point the VIP for primary site and in the event of site failure I would update the DNS entry to point to the VIP at the DR site? How does this change if we decided to have active mailbox databases at each site, and to make it simple we keep on the 1 DAG? --- 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

Exch 2007 SP3 backup bug
We have Exchange 2007 with a local CCR cluster and SCR to a remote location. We are using Netbackup 6.5.4 and backing up the passive node. So about 2 weeks ago I upgraded our Exch servers to SP3. Everything looked good, backup were running and showing complete. The SG were showing current backup dates. Well we were not checking the transaction log disk sizes and had no idea the log folders were going every day until SCOM started alerting on low disk space. When I checked the drives the logs dated back to the night I did the upgrade. Started looking at the application events and backup logs on the servers and everything seemed normal. What I did not find were any events about the logs being truncated. The check points on the databases show the last backup date so as far as Exchange was concerned I did a successful backup, but it did not delete the log files. After some searching I finally found a posting in a Exchange Technet forum that talks about what I had going on. It appears SP3 introduced a bug that if you performed backups on the passive node, the VSS replication would not kick off the log truncation. Right now the only work around is to backup your active nodes. I have not seen anything on the list about this so I thought I would post it for those that have upgraded or are thinking of upgrading. I could not find a official KB about it, but I was able to backup the active node and all the logs went away. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesoftwareupdate/thread/519a6d38-6096-4d38-8b11-682ca6e70622

RE: Drop Unity for Exchange 2007/2010 UM?
That being said you can save money. Since we have so much Cisco stuff in house now I am not sure how our licensing is with Cisco. If Unity is a separate maintenance cost we will drop it as well. This is going to be exciting to get in place, but it will also be a lot of work. We just started moving everyone over to the Exch 2007 servers at the end of last year and had not finished converting all our sites, now I have to redo this with Exch 2010.

RE: Drop Unity for Exchange 2007/2010 UM?
Oh yeah one other thing that was a plus for Exchange 2010 UM: We have journaling enabled so we can archive all inbound/outbound messages. We did not want to archive user voice mail. Exchange 2007/2010 has that bypass built-in. If we used Unity we were going to have to put in some rules on the mail archive product to look at the message form type, and if the unity form then delete. Sounds simple, but with our audit department that is a major pain to get approved and we have to prove that only those messages are being deleted.

RE: Exchange 20007/2010 voice mail with multiple extension
We are keeping Cisco Call Manager for the primary call routing. We have call centers and need to do things that OCS cannot do. We are looking at replacing Unity Voice Mail with Exchange since the functionality is there and it would keep us from having to integrate the Unity system into our primary Exchange environment. The business is wanting the single mailbox but as a admin I do not want the telecom group to have the elevate rights that Unity requires.

Outlook addressbook issue with child domain DC's
Here is the problem: When list owners go into the addressbook in Outlook to add/remove a member, sometimes they get access denied type messages or the list does not show members. After doing some searching I came across something about Outlook using a GC from a child domain. I checked a couple of users Outlook that were having this issue and did see that for the directory connection Outlook was using a GC from our child domain. This child domain is a resource domain and does not have any users or Exchange install. If found the MS article KB319206 which would allow me to specify a specific Global Catalog server which I set on a couple of systems to force Outlook to use a GC in the user/exchange domain, and it allow the addressbook updates to work as expected. The web search I found talked about the Outlook client using a GC in a child domain that did not have the users account and Exchange installed. When the user tried to make a update that DC was not allowing the update since the user did not have write access in that child domain. Our forest is laid out where the forest root is also the primary user and exchange domain. We have a child domain that is a server resource domain. We have multiple sites with the primary domain DC's at each site and a couple of sites have a DC for the child domain. All DC's are global catalog servers, in both domains. All replication has been verified as working correctly. With all of this I am trying to figure out how to stop this from occurring. Has anyone else seen this? If so what did you do? My first thought was to step down DC's in the child domain to no longer be GC's. If they are not GC's then Outlook will not use them. Does anyone see a issue with doing this? If there is a child DC in a site, there is also going to be a DC for the parent domain so lookups should not be a issue. If I go this route the Infrastructure Master for the parent domain/forest root will be a GC, which should not be a issue in that domain since all DC's in that domain are GC's. The way I understand the Windows 2003 domain design, the infrastructure master is separate for each domain so I do not see how this could affect replication with a child domain.

RE: Access control to Exchange Active Sync
After talking Microsoft the only way to do this is a script when the account is created. What I have done is every couple of weeks I run a ADModify with a custom ldap query that pulls all accounts that have the default setting of 0. Then I select those accounts and set the attribute to explicit disable. If a user needs access they have to go through the approval process then we enable the option. You would think that MS would have a changeable default value for that since people have been asking for it since Exch 2000.

We would like to control this somehow with a security group, other than a nightly PoSH cmd to disable all and enable only the members of the group. The thought was to use a Security group and set the permissions in IIS/NTFS. Which I tested and it broke the OAB access for OLK 2007 clients.. and left them with the continuous Outlook is synchronizing forlders.. message. I made the following changes on the Microsoft-Server-ActveSync vdir: Removed Authenticated users and added the new Security Group with Read access which is what Authenticated Users had. One thought I have is to make the Security Group changes to the files located in .\ClientAccess\Sync, but I'm unsure of future ramifications of doing so. So default.eas and global.asax since they would be accessed when setting up a new Active Sync partnership. Wondering if anyone else has a suggested access control method or has tried to accomplish this before. We are publishing with an ISA box, but it's not on our Domain and we don't have the LDAP connectivity setup to apply the group to the EAS publishing rule. TIA. JB

RE: Exchange 2007 Cluster with Forefront
See if this fixes it: This is normally caused by one of two issues. Either the license file is corrupted, in which case you can try to copy the license.cfg file from your source CD and restart the services or it can be caused by a corruption in either the proxy server password credentials or UNC path password credentials within the registry. To address this:- 1) Open Regedit on the Server and navigate to - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Forefront Server Security\ForefrontCredentials. 2) Within this key you should see 2 values, ProxyPassword and UNCPassword. Please delete any data that is contained within the 2 values. 3) Open the Forefront Administrator MMC and place some information in all of the fields within the Proxy Server Name/IP Address, Proxy Username, Proxy Password, UNC Username, and UNC Password fields.

Well the only thing with ActiveSync is you cannot restrict what devices connect. So say you supply a employee with a iphone or windows mobile device. You enable ActiveySync for them, then they can go out and connect as many devices they want and you have no control. We have had users break or lose the device and they get it replace and reconnect without telling us. So when I run the device report I see they have multiple devices. This is why I like the Blackberry or Good approach to device. You must have the company add you and then only 1 device per person. ActiveSync is free so it is limited to what it can and can't do. If MS really wants this to be a way to take Blackberry or Good out, they need to put a lot more control on the interface. The other thing that really sucks is ActiveSync is enabled, by default, for every Exchange user. There is no way to change the default setting so we run script every few days to change anyone that has the default setting of not set to disable.

This is why you force a password lock on the device, with a bad password attempt limit so the device will auto erase after x attempts. If a device is locked, iTunes will not back it up, unless the system they are running iTunes on has already backed up the device before. You have to put in the password then iTunes will recognize it.

RE: uuh... iPhone + EAS + wipe + remove partnership = ?
Yes. I just tested it on my system. My primary PC is where I do all the iphone sync'ing so when I connected it itunes recognized the device and allowed me to do a backup. This was while the iphone was locked. I then plugged it into a mac I have and it popped up a box stating the device was locked and needed to be unlocked before iTunes could access it. So if they steal just the iphone and you have a ActiveSync policy to have a 5 min timeout with mandatory password and say a 8 attempt before erase; they will get 8 tries before the device gets completely wiped, OS and all. Also on the iphone after a couple of tries the device stops accepting password attemps for 1 min so they will have to take a little while to get the erase to occur. Oh one more thing, on the ActiveSync policy, do not set the option to force encryption. I have read that on the 2G and 3G devices it can cause corruption on the phone. The 3GS is the only device that supports encryption, but the ActiveSync app on the iphone does not stop the policy correctly.

RE: uuh... iPhone + EAS + wipe + remove partnership = ?
Well the only thing with ActiveSync is you cannot restrict what devices connect. So say you supply a employee with a iphone or windows mobile device. You enable ActiveySync for them, then they can go out and connect as many devices they want and you have no control. We have had users break or lose the device and they get it replace and reconnect without telling us. So when I run the device report I see they have multiple devices. This is why I like the Blackberry or Good approach to device. You must have the company add you and then only 1 device per person. ActiveSync is free so it is limited to what it can and can't do. If MS really wants this to be a way to take Blackberry or Good out, they need to put a lot more control on the interface. The other thing that really sucks is ActiveSync is enabled, by default, for every Exchange user. There is no way to change the default setting so we run script every few days to change anyone that has the default setting of not set to disable.

RE: uuh... iPhone + EAS + wipe + remove partnership = ?
This is a Powershell command, I pieced together. If you know PS I am sure
there is a better way:
Create a report of ActiveSync devices
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize:Unlimited | ForEach {Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics
-Mailbox:$_.Identity} | Sort-Object -Property DeviceType,Identity |
Select-Object
@{name=EmailAddress;expression={$_.Identity.ToString().Split(\)[0]}},DeviceType,DeviceUserAgent
| Export-Csv -Path:C:\Temp\MobileDevices.csv
Well when it comes to management and lock down policies I am sure it will stay
that way until a device is stolen and someone get confidential data leaked or
they send a series of virus' or vulgar e-mail to the company.
Geez how bad would it look for the Girlscouts if a exec's device is lost and
someone was to send out a picture of child porn from that device to the
employees or worse a news company. That would be a huge black eye for the
organization. And that is what I would pose the management. I use to work for
a very large children's hospital and those kind of scare tactics would really
open their eyes.

network protocols.
Then I receive that deer in the headlight look and they say ok, but it's been 3
years and till this day not one of those policies has been presented to the
directors or the board for approval. Yes the policies have been submitted to HR

Exch 2007 Index Search issue
We are running Exchange 2007 SP1 RU8. My mailbox servers are doing CCR with a local node and SCR to a remote data center. We have 8 SG's on each CCR cluster with one Store on each SG. So here is the problem. Every couple of weeks I have users complain that in Outlook they perform a search and get no items found. So I go on the Exchange servers and do a test-exchangesearch for that user and get a ResultFound=False and SearchTime=-1; which indicates the index for that store is corrupt. I will test a random user for each store to see how many are doing this and the results vary, most stores return a true value but a few show false. So I use the ResetSearchIndex.ps1 script to initiate a index rebuild, it eventually finishes and everyone is good again. Then a week or more later it happens again, not always the same stores. I have not found anything to indicate a bug in the index service. Anyone else having this issue? Anyway to keep this from happening, as it requires a lot of the server resources during the re-index and takes several hours to complete. Users are starting to get a little pissed as the Outlook search no longer works. Thanks

That is basically what the script does. It removes the directory for the databases you list. Still, is this common for Exchange 2007 to rebuild these? Does SP2 make this more stable? This is a huge inconvenience and resource hog if they have to be rebuilt. I wanted to see what was happening in the community before opening a ticket with MS. Considering that they have a built-in test to check this I have a feeling it is more common than it should be which really sucks since it takes a server to 100% CPU and takes about 4-5 to complete. As for the CCR side, I see that folder is located on both the active and passive nodes. Is this replicated or is it the job of the passive node to build the index as transactions come and go. If this the case, so the passive node also have the indexes rebuilt since there is no way to test them without failing over.

My mailbox servers are doing CCR with a local node and SCR to a remote data center. We have 8 SG's on each CCR cluster with one Store on each SG. So here is the problem. Every couple of weeks I have users complain that in Outlook they perform a search and get no items found. So I go on the Exchange servers and do a test-exchangesearch for that user and get a ResultFound=False and SearchTime=-1; which indicates the index for that store is corrupt. I will test a random user for each store to see how many are doing this and the results vary, most stores return a true value but a few show false. So I use the ResetSearchIndex.ps1 script to initiate a index rebuild, it eventually finishes and everyone is good again. Then a week or more later it happens again, not always the same stores. I have not found anything to indicate a bug in the index service. Anyone else having this issue? Anyway to keep this from happening, as it requires a lot of the server resources during the re-index and takes several hours to complete.

RE: Blackberry and other SmartPhone PIN/PWD timeout
Has any played with the policy to wipe the device if the last policy refresh is x days old? Talking with the RIM guys about a way to make sure that a device gets wiped even if the user turns off the radio to keep from getting the wipe command, because once you remove the account on the BES the kill command is gone. They suggest setting the policy to refresh the policy every x days then set the policy to wipe the device is the policy refresh is over x days. For example have the device do a policy refresh every 7 days and if the policy refresh is over 30 days do a auto wipe.

Exchange 2007 activesync question
Trying this one more time since I got now responses from 2 weeks ago: We are deploying activesync for our iPhone users, so we have a hostname and certificate. My question is exactly which sites does activesync use on the CAS servers? We do not what OWA access from outside but do use it internally. So we are needing to put a content block based on the source IP and URL the system is trying to connect to. For example, if the source IP is external and the requested URL is https://server.company.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync then let it pass otherwise return error. If the source IP is internal then pass any URL. I am not able to do IP restrictions on the CAS servers directly because the pair is behind a load balancer so both internal and external connections come through the same load balancers. The plan is to use the load balancer to do the IP and URL check and allow/deny. I just need to know which site the ActiveSync connections use. Thanks

MRM and summary report
In Exchange 2003 when you did a mailbox policy to removed items x days old there was a option to send a summary report to the user or administrator. Is there any way to do that in Exchange 2007 under the Messaging Records Management piece? I have the policy setup and working but we liked getting the report for this one mailbox to validate that it was happening every week as not to cause the mailbox to hit its limits. Thanks

RE: Exchange 2007 SMTP setup
We already have send connectors, that is not the issue. The issue is the shared mail domain of company.com. Exchange 2003 allowed IMAP/POP clients to send from the company.com e-mail address but Exchange 2007 is not since it is not listed as a accepted domain.

OWA 2007, remove computer type selection
I have a question about OWA 2007. We are exploring the option of allow access to OWA externally. The problem we have is on the login screen (for forms based authentication) the user is given the choice or Private or Public computer, which will then give them attachment access as defined in the server setup. Is there a way to remove that choice and force it one way. So we would want anyone using that interface to be Public only. I was hoping to be able to do this on the same CAS server but from what I have read we can only have one OWA site on the server if we are going to use forms based authentication and legacy support. So if this is the case we will have to add a server for the external access, which is not a big deal, but we still want to remove that computer type selection.

This allows them to send to those companies. In Exch 2007 I see how to created a Transport Rule to block mail sent to outside people if the user is in the group. My problem is I cannot find a way to do a exclusion based on the recipient domain. Any ideas? ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~

Oh yeah, we are not using a edge server since we have other mail gateways in place, so inbound/outbound is done on the Hub Transport servers.
