RE: Send As
To my knowledge this cannot be done using an Exchange client However, if you have IMAP service running, then this is possible using IMAP clients as they can be configured for different reply to address. It will also depend upon your outgoing server as to weather a unique reply-to address will be overwritten when sending. I am not a big fan of doing this so my suggestion is to create a 'shared/resource mailbox' so that these addresses can be kept distinct and use Send-As access. This will work better, just as long as Sent items for 'project mailbox' don't need to be kept in that mailbox.

RE: Mailbox - Deleted Items and Recoverable Items - remove all retention from specific mailboxes
I would be cautioned about using retention settings for databases User limits will override these setting with the addition of some service pack or rollup. (Smarter people than I can confirm this) I believe the default mailbox settings for parameters RecoverableItemsWarningsQuota and RecoverableItemsQuota are set to unlimited The database RecoverableItemsQuota is set to 30 GB but we had an errant email client gone bad and had his recoverable items exceed 70 GB almost crashing a DB due to size expansion. We have added modest settings for users 'dumpsters' to avoid this issue in the future. I believe it used to be the value on the DB was what was used but at some point this changed.

Another option is to create a 1GB database and include it in the DAG. Since the Keep deleted items for (days) setting is set on a per database level, you can set this new 1GB database for 1 day. That way, it's different from the current 60 day setting you have for your other databases. Once you move the mailbox to this new 1GB database, it will inherit the database settings. I prefer the first option as there are less steps involved.

Exchange 2010 SP2 UR3 Standard two node DAG Standard 10 MEG email attachment limit Project: Implement XEROX Webprint so remote or wireless students can submit print jobs to a specific campus mailbox which they can then print at any campus XEROX printer. ( We know how to make this XEROX process work to get the final printing outcome). My concern is EXCHANGE storage space on our servers, as we are a bit tight and no data on how much will be taken with this project with all the attachments. FYI - Vendor indicates that we need to use POP3, but that IMAP may be an option. Vendor also indicates that with POP3 and their product, all messages will be REMOVED from our EXCHANGE server as soon as forwarded to the XEROX web print server. I questioned vendor if it is really removed, or simply moved to Deleted Items and then to Recoverable Items folder ( formerly Dumpster) but vendor is not certain. I suspect I could put a specific retention tag on the mailboxes in question so Deleted Items are removed after 24 hours, but not sure if this can be done with individual mailbox on the Recoverable Items folder, as our global setting is 60 days. Otherwise, storage space could be taken up in Recoverable Items folder for 60 days. In Summary, my goal is to make sure anything sent to the XEROX print mailboxes is deleted after 24-48 hours and not taking space on our Exchange DAG. There is no requirement to preserve this print data, nor do we want to. Hoping for any input or questions if I was not clear in the above.

RE: TMG replacement.
We also use TMG and this is what I have heard from both from our TAM and from MS engineers at MEC. UAG is the 'official' replacement; however everyone acknowledges this it is not the best fit when using ONLY for Exchange. TMG is supported with Exchange 2013. If you are on Exchange 2010 now and are using an 'array'; the updates to the Firewall Policy Rules are almost painless. No more silent redirect needed! We will have these changes confirmed on our test environment in about 60 days. Sooner, if I get a lot of extra free time! Another alternative is to use F5. We looked at this prior to implementing ISA/TMG and it looked better than TMG except for cost which was like $25,000.00 - $30,000.00 several years ago for our intended application. I spoke to the folks at F5 in MEC back in September and while we didn't speak about exact pricing, I believe they are not so pricy now. We use F5 for non-windows servers any they seem to have a pretty good product. MS has announced that there will be MEC sometime in April of 2014. It was stated at MEC 2012 that this would not be an annual event but be held when they have something important to showcase with regard to Exchange. Weather this will be to announce exchange 2015 or something more realistic like Edge Transport or TMG replacement is anyone's guess. Lots of people expressed dissatisfaction with MS at MEC 2012 on not having updates/replacements to both Edge and TMG, perhaps they got the message! Meanwhile, TMG is supported for Exchange 2013 as is Edge 2010 for people who currently use these products. As I believe TMG will not reach end of life for several years now; we plan to continue to use TMG as we only use this product for client connections to exchange and UAG is not a good fit for us.

RE: Exchange 2010 User Mailboxes and AutoAccept
Thank you all your responses ... With respect to handling event calendars; we useshared department mailboxes (just a regular mailbox) where we assigned permission by group. Members of the department have Author permissions and a select few have Publisher permissions. This offers all department members the opportunity to post / edit their own day events or to have some department Admins do it for them. We all know at a glance who working from home, on vacation or away on business. There are guidelines on how to post so the calendar is consistent. The main issue I face with calendars now is that with Exchange 2007 users were able to set shared (i.e. Regular) mailboxes to autoaccept via Outlook calendar resource scheduling and now they can't. It was suggested I contact MS support to fix this broken feature for Exchange 2010. The solution would be to change the mailbox type as suggested: Set-Mailbox -Identity Name -Type Regular,Room,Equipment,Shared -Confirm:$False Once this is done then the Set-CalendarProcessing (Exchange 2010 only command) can be use to set the calendar to Autoaccept Steven Alfano Sr. Systems Administrator The Rockefeller University From: Michael B.

While both types are Exchange mailboxes, they have very different options available to them regarding calendaring. Outlook clients do not play into this at all, I think we might be using different terminology. Regarding shared mailboxes... I've seen shared mailboxes called both user resource mailboxes in differing circumstances. I think when it comes to calendaring, though, you should consider them as a user mailbox and not a resource. It would be best to operate under the assumption that there are actually 3 types of mailboxes: user, resource (room equipment), and shared. I cannot find a reliable source that also splits out the 3 types as I described , but that's definitely what I've found in practice. Back to calendaring, however... two things can automate calendar usage. See the link above for details on the difference between what they do: 1) Calendar Attendant (User Resource mailboxes) 2) Resource Booking Attendant (Only Resource mailboxes) Other possible pages you might find useful... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201680.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124255.aspx Summary: don't use shared mailboxes for calendaring. So how do you handle needs such as a place to document a department's out-of-office schedule, birthday, or general events? I call that category Event Calendars and I behind the scenes I set them as a Room calendar so I can use the Resource Booking Attendant. This kind of messes up built in outlook features and these event calendars will be shown under the heading Rooms. I hope that Microsoft releases an option to allow for this kind of calendar natively. I'd love to hear of a better way to handle event calendars if anyone has one.

RE: Mailbox Calendar question
If the executive is using Mac Mail are they using iCal for Appointments and if not then what are they using for calendar synchronization with other assumed devices; iCloud? If you wish to remove all appointments then perhaps the shell command Set-CalendarProcessinghttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335046.aspx may work using the None parameter for AutomateProcessing. If this is too drastic you may consider a workaround and use Outlook server based rules which mostly work with Mac Mail. Here is a good article for mailbox management that clearly defines this practice. The Three Most Important Outlook Rules for Processing Mailhttp://www.hanselman.com/blog/TheThreeMostImportantOutlookRulesForProcessingMail.aspx ... This is just a workaround and I think that two mailbox solution previously offered, while a painful process; may be the best long term solution. Whatever path you choose, I recommend testing on a mailbox other than this executive first just to make sure you have the desired results. Mac Mail/ iCal do not always play well with exchange 2010 when using iPhone/iPads and ActiveSync. Please also consider your backup strategy and ability to restore calendar items when something an ISO 5.0 upgrade on a device wipes out all appointments! It is nice to see that I'm not alone in supporting Mac's in an Exchange 2010 environment.

I have an Executive that doesn't want to receive any calendar invites. This Executive has a very busy schedule and a personal assistant that manages most of his meeting times. Since everyone in the company knows his email address he is constantly getting emails about meeting invitations, changes, declines, etc. Also with the Calendar Attendant enabled on the mailbox the personal calendar is getting cluttered with tentative meeting request. Ideally would only like to see the meetings manually entered. Does anyone know if disabling the Calendar Attendant would prevent calendar requests from showing up on the calendar? My gut feeling is that the user will still see request emails to the inbox, if so can those be disabled as well? I've logged into the mailbox via OWA and was not able to find any rules that would alleviate this behavior. Nor have I found anything on the Calendar Settings tab for the mailbox. I did find a set-calendarProcessing cmdlet with an AutomatedProcessing parameter but it seems this only applies to a resource mailbox and not a user mailbox. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeve? Any sort or Exchange based ACL's I could put into place? I am grasping at straws on how to disable calendar invites. In advance thanks for any feedback!

RE: Outlook provider
I concur ... Microsoft is moving away from MAPI to exclusive use of outlook anywhere; better to embrace this rather than try and put yourself in an unsupported situation.

RE: iOS 6 issues with Exchange ActiveSync
We have one confirmed reported issue that fits this description. This user has many devices attaching to Exchange 2010 SP2 RU4. These are iPhone5 iOS6, Outlook 2011 (EWS), OWA (Safari) along with an iPad2 (iOS6). The 'missing' calendar items were found and restored from the iPad as they were removed from the mailbox and subsequently all other 'devices/cache'. We believe the iPad triggered the loss as this is where the missing calendar items were found but have no further proof as to how this may have occurred. As most of our faculty has numerous devices to connect to email, this has the potential to be a very serious issue. I have hear many time that Microsoft supports ActiveSync in general but it is up to the individual manufacture as to how they implement this in their device. Basically there is no 'official' assistance from MS on these intermittent issues. Now is the time to review how good your backup software really is.

RE: Exchange 2010
We had issues with permissions as you described across exchange 2007 and 2010 servers (same org/site) and when we corrected issues with Availability Service the issues with permissions on shared calendars seemed to also go away. I have not found any definitive information from Microsoft about Availability Service issues that would explain what you are experiencing in the article Understanding the Availability Servicehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232134.aspx. However this is a pretty good article that may provide some insight. I do know that Availability Service and calendar free/busy and perhaps other permissions too, is intrinsically tied to IIS EWS. My only other suggestion would be to put on the latest SP and rollup. Again; I don’t recall anything with the latest updates that would address your specific issue. Who knows you may get lucky and it wouldn’t be the first time an update fixed something that wasn’t documented to fix.

RE: Exchange 2010 Crashed
To the best of my knowledge (I would like to find out I am wrong here) manually removing an exchange 2010 server is unsupported by MS. It is designed to be done from Add/Remove programs so that everything is completely removed. Since you cannot do this; I would strongly recommend opening up a case with MS support.

RE: Change Primary SMTP Address in Exchange 2010
If an address policy is set up correctly then changes to last name should reflect in SMTP addresses automatically, possibly only requiring a refresh of a policy. Changes to Primary SMTP are done from within Exchange Management Console (or shell). In the console it is done by selecting a mailbox from recipients; selecting E-Mail Addresses tab and making appropriate changes. If you wish to change a primary SMTP and this goes against policy; remember to uncheck box for an automatic update on e-mail policy. From the shell it is necessary to turn off policy make changes and turn policy back on (if desired) Set-Mailbox -Identity Alias_Name -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled:$False Set-Mailbox -Identity Alias_Name-EmailAddresses Primary, Secondary,Secondary Set-Mailbox -Identity Alias_Name-EmailAddressPolicyEnabled:$FTrue For EmailAddresses you will need to list all addresses that are required separating each by a comma however if you decide to enable email policy it will add/overwrite addresses as policy dictates. Be cautioned if you decide to abandon email address policy for a user or set of users; this may come back to haunt you later should you need to update the policy for all users. If you wish to you can get a list of names and aliases of all mailboxes that don't have an email policy enabled. Get-Mailbox -Filter {EmailAddressPolicyEnabled -eq $False} -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object Name, Alias | Export-csv MailboxesWithoutEmailPolicy.csv These commands apply to Exchange 2007 and I am pretty sure will be the same in 2010 Steven Alfano Sr. Systems Administrator The Rockefeller University 1230 York Avenue New York, NY 10065-6399 Voice 212.327.8937 Mobile 646.438.5160 fax 212.327.8712 salf...@rockefeller.edu www.rockefeller.edu From: Alice Goodman [mailto:ali...@mckinstry.com] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 8:43 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Change Primary SMTP Address in Exchange 2010 Sometimes I need to change primary SMTP addresses when employees change their names, or when my default Policies don't seem to be working quite rights.

RE: Database growth.
We have about 2,400 mailboxes and see a growth of about 10 GB / week. The amount of mailboxes has been stagnant for the past 2 years so we consider this normal growth.

RE: Ex2k10 SP1 schema update
From the information I know you will need to upgrade to SP2/3 eventually if you wish co-existence with Exchange 2010. The schema change made into your Forest/domain by running Exchange 2010 setup on a 64 bit DC may or may not impact your current Exchange 2007 SP1 installation but why take the chance. Be careful about Exchange SP upgrades in 2007 if you have high availability (SCR CCR) database servers; there are very well documented procedures for putting on SP's and you need to follow them if you wish to avoid data loss. I have heard that it is advantageous to run 2007 SP3 when using Exchange 2010 but have yet to find out exactly why. If you are upgrading anyway I have found SP3 to be stable in our environment. Please be sure to put on the latest rollup and also run OS updates too.

We have already performed the R2 schema update followed by the Ex2k7 SP2 schema update so the rangeupper attribute of ms-exch-schema-version-pt is 14622 (same as Ex2k10 RTM) last year. Theres currently a mix of Ex2k3 and Ex2k7 servers in the Exch org. Questions: a. if we currently have Exchange 2k7 SP1 servers, before we extend the Ex2k10 SP1 schema we will need to bring all fo them up to at least SP2 level (SP3 is preferred but according to this article SP2 seems th minimum requirement for coexistence, correct? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638158.aspx b. Any adverse effect bringing the schema directly from 14622 to 14726 (EX2k10 SP1) without updating it to Ex2k7 SP3 first? Will this affect existing Ex2k7 SP1 servers later on when they need to update Exchange 2k7 ? I understand schema update updating Exchange versions are two separate beasts but want to confirm. Brian Desmond has summed it up well here, basically saying that unless all Ex2k7/Ex2k3 servers are removed there wont be any problems adding new nodes in. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/d60ea3f9-9e38-4725-a08c-eb06cb099937/ Just looking for someone who has done this.

RE: Questions about DAG's (Database Availability Groups) in exchange 2010
Mr. Dickinson, This article is a good source for installation and it may address some of your questions about basic operation; most of which have been answered by others in this message thread. Exchange 2010 RTM DAG using Server 2008 R2 - Part 1http://www.shudnow.net/2009/10/29/exchange-2010-rtm-dag-using-server-2008-r2-%E2%80%93-part-1/ There are four parts Please note that this article is referring to Exchange RTM and Server 2008 R2 pre any service packs and there are some changes with these SP's. I have found this a good written reference reading material on installation that extends a bit beyond this. With regard to your question below, sounding a bit obtuse, it depends on what your goal is. If you wish to have an immediate for a total failure in the US; this can be a challenge as there will be a lag time while DNS entries are updated outside your organization. An alternative solution would be to utilize OWA for temporary outages and instruct users to redirect to another site via separate URL's. If there is a partial failure (of database servers) then there are ways to utilize front end servers (which I recommend) like TMG or F5 to handle redirection to separate CAS arrays. Getting information from sources like this is a good first step. Partnering with other professionals (both formal and informal) is the next logical choice. Planning for failover scenarios in a multi site organization, while not extremely complicated, is a process that starts with clearly outlined goals. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a clear objective prior to architecting a solution.

This has given me a better understanding of what is expected to happen. One more question though. (For the moment) When an exchange server fails and all the clients reconnect to another exchange server. What happens when the original exchange server becomes available again? Do the Outlook clients automatically change back to using their original Exchange server? Or do they just continue to connect to the server that they have been connected to whilst their (home) server was off line? I am just thinking about our circumstances where we have one exchange server in the UK and one In the US.
