Re: Hosting with SP2.

2011-12-13 Thread Tom Kern

Things are different now.
ABPs is not true multi tenancy the way /Hosting was/is.

If the desire is to have 2 or more Orgs pointing to the same external
contact then you can get away with

New-MailContact -Name Contact A -ExternalEmailAddress
SMTP:t...@test.com–PrimarySmtpAddress
a...@a.com

New-MailContact -Name Contact B -ExternalEmailAddress
SMTP:t...@test.com–PrimarySmtpAddress
b...@b.com

Since we don't care about duplicate target addresses...

But you won't be able to have the same sAMAccountName or proxy address or
UPN as Michael stated.

 then?

 Are you saying I am not missing anything on my configuration, things are
 just different now?

 One other thing, can companies keep their own Ads?

 You have to segregate via OU and it works just fine. You can’t have a
 conflicting sAMAccountName or upn, but otherwise – everything else can be
 identical.

 Has anybody managed to get their hands on any command sets for SP2 multi

 I played with the address lists and policy’s but I must of missed
 something as I couldn’t add two users with the same name between two
 different companies.

 In SP1 /Hosting you used the New-Organisation command to segregate in AD.*

Re: Exchange 2007/2010 Issue with IMAP / TMG Redirection Rule

2011-09-30 Thread Tom Kern

Make certain the LoginTypes match between Ex2k7 and Ex2k10 IMAP settings.

 wrote:

  We are having issues with IMAP clients (various clients on various OS’s)
 connecting to Exchange 2007 CAS and mailbox servers when we change our TMG
 rule to redirect clients to our 2010 CAS in preparation for an eventual
 migration to Exchange 2010.  Currently there is a single external entry
 point for all IMAP clients over port 993 pointing to our TMG server.  Our
 Exchange system consists of TMG servers in an Array (two servers with a DB
 server) There are two Exchange 2007 CAS running an NLB and a single 2007 CCR
 mailbox server.  Exchange 2010 has two CAS running an NLB with a 2 node DAG.
  When we switch the TMG rule to point to the Exchange 2010 CAS NLB we get a
 variety of intermittent client RECEIVE (fetch) connectivity issues ranging
 from poor performance and IMAP synchronization to on some clients, inability
 to connect.  Please note all mailboxes are on Exchange 2007 we are just
 changing the TMG rule for IMAP clients to point to the 2010 NLB.  Testing
 was also done redirecting to a single 2010 CAS with similar results. 

 ** **

 **· **Thunderbird reported this Alert 

 “*An error occurred during a connection to OurDomainName:993. SSL
 received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code:
 ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)*” 

 **· **Reinstalling or upgrading the IMAP client seemed to have
 helped in some instances with this and some other performance / connectivity
 issues.  

 **· **Outlook, configured as* *IMAP; reported synchronization
 issues.

 **· **In other tests, we've had IMAP clients reject the mailbox
 password and continuously prompt for a password without locking the users AD
 account due to bad passwords.

 ** **

 I opened a case with MS support and they analyzed the IMAP logging files,
 along with everything else on TMG, DC’s and Exchange servers without finding
 any issues with these servers.  The IMAP clients are configured correctly as
 they can connect once the rule is reverted back to point to the 2007 NLB.
 

 ** **

 One would assume that changing a TMG rule to point from an existing
 functioning exchange 2007 server to an Exchange 2010 server would not
 generate widespread intermittent client connectivity issues, but it seems to
 in our exchange configuration.   Please note that we are NOT moving the
 mailboxes just a TMG rule.

 Has anyone come across or experienced this?  Any known solution?  Any and
 all information is greatly appreciated

Re: post SP1 can't add to DLs in EMC

2011-02-15 Thread Tom Kern

In sp1 if you are not listed in the managedBy for a USG you will NOT be able
to manage it even if you have the appropriate RBAC role.
This is when using EMC since as you state the
-BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck  parameter has been removed.
This was to be more in keeping with a split perms model and have AD admins
manage security groups.

So the workaround is add those users as managers or
use EMS with the -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck


In RTM -BypassSecurityGroupManagerCheck  was called by default when starting
EMC

Re: post SP1 can't add to DLs in EMC

2011-02-15 Thread Tom Kern

I think the thinking was that in RTM you had to be an elevated Org
management admin to manage USGs which probably wasn't a good idea.
In sp1 it was felt in keeping with a split perms model
a. AD admins manage USGs
b. owners of USGs manage them.

Either way I guess there is no one size fits all solution...

Re: Exch 2007 SP3 backup bug

Thats a known issue and will be corrected in a forthcoming RU.
Until then backup the active node.

On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 10:49 PM, Senter, John john.sen...@etrade.comwrote:

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.

Re: Public Folders and Decommssioning 2003 and PSS

2010-07-31 Thread Tom Kern

Rob do you have any Ex2k7/2k3 servers around?
I ask because most of the public folder tools in Exchange 2010 have enough
issues with them where the recommendation now is to use the ex2k3/2k7 tools
to make modifications to folders on those servers and let the changes
replicate out to the E14 replicas.

Until till this is corrected in a future RU/SP you should just use the ESM
or the ex2k7 EMS/EMC to make the changes to the folders that reside on those
servers.

 Subject: Public Folders and Decommssioning 2003 and PSS

 I just got off the phone with a 14 hour PSS call with Exchange in relation
 to public folders and decommissioning Exchange 2003.

 Everything was working perfectly, no issues, all folders were replicated.
  We even shutdown the Exchange 2003 for a few days..No problems.

 As soon as we uninstalled Exchange 2003 no emails would send to public
 folders.
 We would get an NDR, 5.2.0 StoreDRV,
 MapiExceptionnotFound:16.18969:AB00

 After deleting the empty servers group in the First Administrative Group,
 using ADSIedit which is a popular issue with Public folder replication, we
 started getting in the undeliverable queue on 2010, No route to database
 and email would not deliver to any 2003 previous public folders.  New public
 folders would work fine as long as they did not have the email address from
 the previous 2003 folder.

 Whats strange is that this has not happened in any of our other migrations.

 It’s a known issue, being fixed in SP1...Their suggestion is to leave 2003
 server online until Sp1..In our case, we had to delete all public folders
 and recreate from backup.  Not a huge issue, exported to pst, and then
 reimported after deleting them all.

 Rob do you have any Ex2k7/2k3 servers around?

 I ask because most of the public folder tools in Exchange 2010 have enough
 issues with them where the recommendation now is to use the ex2k3/2k7 tools
 to make modifications to folders on those servers and let the changes
 replicate out to the E14 replicas.



 Until till this is corrected in a future RU/SP you should just use the ESM
 or the ex2k7 EMS/EMC to make the changes to the folders that reside on those
 servers.

You shouldn't have to do this if you just upgrade the HT cert but you may
need to redo your edge subscription.
In Ex2k7 sp1 you only needed to do that if you updated the cert on the edge
but it may not be the same for e14.
I'd have to test in my lab but it may be quicker for you to just redo the
sub.

 04I:

 00A:

 Some times when we do a log search on Exchange 2007, on the field Message
 Info instead of appear a message stamping the date and hour relating with
 the email traffic, appear those codes that decribe above.



 Some of you know what those codes mean?



 Searching on the Web there is a Techent Web page in that MS describe the
 values that this field Message Info could show us, but they never explain
 that some times we could get one of those values nor give us the meaning of
 that.



 It means that those values could be consider as an error codes??



 Thanks in advance.

 Hi all.

 I have a question regarding with the subject topic.

 03I:

 04I:

 00A:

 Some times when we do a log search on Exchange 2007, on the field Message
 Info instead of appear a message stamping the date and hour relating with
 the email traffic, appear those codes that decribe above.



 Some of you know what those codes mean?



 Searching on the Web there is a Techent Web page in that MS describe the
 values that this field Message Info could show us, but they never explain
 that some times we could get one of those values nor give us the meaning of
 that.



 It means that those values could be consider as an error codes??



 Thanks in advance.

Re: Exchange RPC over HTTP ValidPorts registry value

2010-02-08 Thread Tom Kern

I assume you are talking about exchange 2003 sp2?
Starting with sp1 for exchange 2003 you no longer have to create those keys
in the registry as the RpcHttpCOnfigurator process on the frontend will do
that automatically as soon as you set an exchange server as a backend server
in ESM. In fact if you make a change to those keys manually the process will
bulldoze you as you are seeing. It runs every 15mins.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996083(EXCHG.65).aspx

Same pretty much applies for exchange 2007 CAS.

Thanks

Re: Powershell v2

PS v2 is supported for exchange 2007 sp2.
you need sp2 first for ex2k7 and then install psv2.

The main reason for installing psv2 on exchange 2k7sp2 is to be able to run
the 2k10 EMC/EMS with the 2k7 EMC/EMS on the same box.

I have not heard of any issues.

 If so, do I have to uninstall PSv1 before upgrading PSv2? (I guess this
 could be an issue since all MS updates performed after PSv1 installation
 needs to be removed)

 When should I install PSv2 i.e. before or after upgrading to E2K7 SP2?

 Any known issues in installing PSv2?

 Appreciate any assistance

During store driver delivery is where content conversion from mime to
mapi/mapi to mime will take place.
I would take Michael's advice and look into disk issues.
You can run an eseutil /k and /ml against the mail.que and transaction logs
respectively to see if there is any obivous corruption.

 STOREDRV.Deliver is called after bifurcation and is responsible for doing

 My #1 guess would be that you have a failing disk on your HT, the drive
 that hosts the mail.que database. Run a chkdsk as soon as possible.

 My #2 guess would be that the mail.que database is corrupt. Remove it and
 allow a new one to be rebuilt. Note that this will cause the loss of

 Microsoft Exchange couldn't find a certificate that contains the domain

 Therefore, it is unable to support the STARTTLS SMTP verb for the connector
 Internet SMTP with a FQDN parameter of *mail.domainname.com*. If the
 connector's FQDN is not specified, the computer's FQDN is used. Verify the
 connector configuration and the installed certificates to make sure that
 there is a certificate with a domain name for that FQDN. If this certificate
 exists, run Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services SMTP to make sure that the
 Microsoft Exchange Transport service has access to the certificate key

 My cert has the correct CN of *mail.domainname.com* so I dont underdstand

 Therefore, it is unable to support the STARTTLS SMTP verb for the connector
 Internet SMTP with a FQDN parameter of *mail.domainname.com*. If the
 connector's FQDN is not specified, the computer's FQDN is used. Verify the
 connector configuration and the installed certificates to make sure that
 there is a certificate with a domain name for that FQDN. If this certificate
 exists, run Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services SMTP to make sure that the
 Microsoft Exchange Transport service has access to the certificate key

 My cert has the correct CN of *mail.domainname.com* so I dont underdstand
 why I'm getting this error.

 The . means that you are missing one, which is U, for Unified
 Communications. If you do not have that role installed then it will not be
 listed.



 Therefore your certificate seems fine.

 When I run this command I see the SSL cert that I have setup for IIS,
 SMTP, POP and IMAP but listed under services it says IP.WShttp://ip.ws/.
 Should it list the services I installed the cert for? What is

Re: Can't set SSL cert services to none on Ex07

2009-08-26 Thread Tom Kern

Outlook complaining would have nothing to do with smtp and more with
IIS. Specifically autodiscover.
You are correct the -services none parameter does not work and the
documentation is misleading on Technet and is due to change shortly.

If this is NOT the default cert (the one used for x-anonymous tls) and
it is just a self-signed cert you created, why not just run
remove-exchangecertificate?

If it is a 3rd party CA cert and you only want to remove smtp as a
service then go to c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys and remove Network Service
from the ACL of the cert file in there.
You can find which cert is yours by matching the timestamp on your
cert when you run get-exchangecertificate |fl NotBefore and attempt to
match that time with a date modified timestamp in the file system
within that folder
That will remove smtp as a service from the cert but based on what you
write I don't think smtp is the issue here

Thanks

 Hi everyone,

 I just installed a single name SSL cert for my Ex07 server and I noticed that 
 Outlook started complaining about an invalid certificate when it is opened. I 
 discovered that I mistakenly added SMTP as one of the services on the new 
 cert when I think I should have only enabled it on IMAP, POP, and IIS. This 
 means that get-exchangecertificate results in two certificates being on SMTP. 
 To remove all the services I tried enable-exchangecertificate -thumbprint 
 new_cert_thumbprint -services none. This resulted in no errors but still 
 get-exchangecertificate shows the same results.

 Any ideas on this?

 Hi all



 Since I have updated our send connectors on Exchange 2007 to use our HT
 servers to route mail to our smart host, it seems to be sending through “too
 many”  messages per connection. The smart host is thus delaying delivery of
 those message by up to 15 minutes as it thinks it’s bulk mail (for info, it
 rejects mail after 10 messages in any single connection).



 On Exchange 2003, there was a nice setting called “Maximum messages per
 connection” on the SMTP virtual server tab which now, unfortunately, seems
 to be absent.



 Does anyone know



 a)  How many messages per connection Exchange 2007 can submit, and if
 that value can be changed;

 b)  If not, a creative solution of how to get around this, bar accepting
 the 15 minute delay, or making unwanted changes elsewhere?



 Cheers

Re: Outlook choosing CAS server

2009-04-15 Thread Tom Kern

The SCP record for the server in the same site as the outlook 2007
client will be used or closest site if there is no CAS server or you
have site affinity set
In addition, outlook 2k7 will ALWAYS pick the oldest SCP record
So if you have multiple CAS servers in a site, outlook will always use
the first one installed if it is online

There is no inherent load balancing so its a good idea to NLB your
autodiscover and other web services urls (EWS,OAB,etc)

Re: No Paperclip although there is an attachment.

2009-01-28 Thread Tom Kern

Ex2k7 is stricter when it comes to RFCs
Mutlipart/related is probably being used in Content-Type rather than
multipart/mixed

Mutlipart/related is usually used for html body with inline images for
which a paperclip will not be shown since inline images are part of
the body (of course that brings up the argument of whether inline
images are really attachments or not)

Anyway, its a strict interpetation of RFC 2387
A good rule of thumb to follow is that Ex2k3 is much looser in rfc
interpetation than E12 as I'm sure we are all painfully discovering
So stuff that worked for better or worse in Ex2k3 no longer does in E12

 Something does seem to be amiss because the names of the inline attached

 (image910c62@11e82c6e.052547fa for example).  Both David's and

Re: Anonymous Relay Email going to Junk Email Folder

you need to create a seperate recieve connector for Oracle and use
externally secured auth.
This will bypass all anti-sapm rules and pretty much have that
connector act as an open relay so be careful what you allow to use it

 Exchange 2007 SP1, CCR, 2 Hubs, 2 Edge Transports.



 We have email coming from an internal Oracle server to the Anonymous Relay
 link on HT01.  Occasionally this email is getting sent to users' Junk Email
 folder.  This becomes an issue when the Oracle alert is letting users know
 they need to log in to Oracle to approve or deny payment for a project or
 bill.



 Yes, the users can right click on the email, go to Junk Email settings, and
 Add Sender to Safe Senders List…but I'm not allowed to send an email out to
 the company suggesting this.



 I have created a rule on the Hub that gives the emails a Junk rating of
 1…and then I tried -1.  The rule works…but the emails still occasionally go
 in to a users Junk Email folder.  Outlook apparently isn't paying any
 attention to the rating.



 Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Which Cert do I Use

2008-12-03 Thread Tom Kern

As Michael stated you can only have one direct trust or default cert

The default cert is used to
1. encrypt traffic between hub servers within the Org using x-anonymous TLS
2. encrypt traffic between hub and edge servers using x-anonymous tls
3.As authentication between hub and edge (since edge is not domain
joined, kerberos is out,so the cert is used as a form of auth)
4. Encrypt ldap traffic from hub to edge sync



The default cert is determined based on the following criterion-

1. the cert must be valid
2. the cert mus contain the physical fqdn of the server
3. the cert must have smtp as a serivce

after that, cert that are issued by a 3rd part ca will be preferred
over the self-signed ones
between those the newest one is used

This cert is in 2 locations-
the local server store and written to the msExchServerInternalTLSCert
attribute of the exchange HT server  and edge server in ADAM

 You can only have one valid named certificate bound to a single IP address.
 That is the default cert.

 [It's actually a little more complicated than that, depending on the use
 of the certificate, but my statement is true for better than 99.9% I'd
 wager.]

 Any number of unnamed certificates can be bound. Those are the one-or-more
 self-signed certificates.

 Outlook will always choose a named valid certificate that has a use of
 server-verification. If that doesn't exist, it'll throw an error.

 Self-signed certs within an Exchange organization are NOT used for
 verification. They are only used for encryption.

 You are correct all internal Server to Server traffic is encrypted via SSL

 I am looking, and asking around. I just got an answer back from some PSS
 contacts already; they said  I will ask around but I know if anyone here
 knows that one, you might try the product group

 What is odd to me with this is that when I test SMTP over SSL via Outlook it
 works without error no matter what Cert if the default. But when I remove
 the SAN cert and only have the self signed cert installed Outlook tossed up
 an error that the cert is not trusted.

 Add to that I see no where in the command line where it says which cert is
 the default. I might look at the ADSI object and see if the order that they
 are listed there changes.

 Kevin,

 I may be incorrect, but I believe I read somewhere that internal SMTP is
 encrypted with TLS using internal certs even on machines that have public
 certs installed.  We also have a somewhat similar setup to the one you speak
 about and I was confused when we started getting eventlog errors that
 internal SMTP traffic was now unencrypted because a certificate had expired
 and I knew the public cert had another 2 months.  It turned out I needed to
 renew that internal cert as well, for some reason internal traffic wasn't
 using the public cert.


 If you find more detail on this (I know you have James Bondish connections
 at MS) I would love to hear the official word.

 Subject: Which Cert do I Use

 Basic Question = When you have 2 SSL certs on a server, and both of them are
 enabled for SMTP. How does Exchange determine which to use?



 A bit more detailed Question -- I have a SAN cert assigned to SMTP on my
 EDGE server and my HUB server [1] .I also have the default self signed
 certificate installed on both servers. When I add the SAN cert to the server
 and I add it to the SMTP service I'm presented with the option to replace
 the default; yes or no. Either answer I give results in both certificates
 being assigned to the SMTP service. Edge sync will break if the default Cert
 is the SAN cert. Edge sync will work if the SAN cert is not the default.
 Outlook SMTP over SSL will not ask to verify the cert if both certs are
 enabled  regardless of which cert is the default.

 My question is  -- How does the server / client know which cert

Re: Certificates

2008-10-28 Thread Tom Kern

Only one cert can be default at one time

You can get a CA cert for your Edge and leave the hub's alone as I
assume its only your Edge that will be talking to the other trusted
corp.

The new CA issued cert will become the default (direct trust) cert on
your edge and will be used for edg to hub and edge to trusted copr
communication


The things to look out for  when you install the new cert on your edge-
1. you will need to redo your edge subscription
2. make sure the cert domains match the fqdn on the connectors (or
servername if $null)
3. make sure the cert is enabled for smtp

Attachment filtering will always try and peek into a container so if

 Then go to Organization Configuration - Hub Transport - Journaling and

 I can set a higher cost on the Edge send connector so that it will prefer to
 use the third party MTA connector, but that's about it.



 There just doesn't seem to be any way to control routing to a particular
 Send Connector except by address space.



 If I can't get this to work, it means I have to configure additional Receive
 Connectors on the Edge servers, punch more holes in the firewall, get SSL
 set up between the Edge server and that third party (Linux) box, and have to
 switch to the third part MTA for message tracking of internet email.



 Anybody know a way to control routing to a Send Connector?

 List,



 Just happened to be tracking a message and noticed that it says that the
 message came in at 3:33pm, which is about an hour ahead of right now.
 When I checked the clock on the Exchange server, it showed 2:40pm. Is
 this happening to anyone else? It's not a deal-breaking problem at the
 moment.

It was an issue with the message tracking gui caused by the DST patch.

Name change

2008-02-21 Thread Tom Kern

What do you guys do for name changes in AD in terms of exchange?

When a user wants their last name changed, I still find that the old
name gets reffrenced by outlook via the legacyexchangedn causing the
user much anger.
I don't want to touch the cn on the leagcyexchangedn for fear of stuff
'sploding.

Is there any good process for this?

Thanks

EAP and public folders

2008-01-30 Thread Tom Kern

anyone out there finding that custom EAP's dont seem to apply to public folders

I'm trying to apply an EAP to every mail enabled object which as EA14
set to a certain value.

one of the recipient types i'm using is 'public folder' but its not applying.

so ,its like new-emailaddresspolicy -name 'PFpol' -recipientfilter
{(( recipienttype -eq 'publicfolder') -and (customattribute14 -like
'op*'))}  -enabledprimaryaddresstemplate 'SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

what am i doing wrong?

or is this part of phasing out PF's and i shouldn't look for help?


thanks guys

 You need to ask question like work-life balance from a MSFT employee. I
 will say that I get the impression that it depends on your role and what
 team you are on and how long ago the most recent service pack was
 released. :-P

 Two years ago, 80% of the Exchange Rangers (now Exchange Architects)
 were MSFT employees. I don't know how/if that has changed with Exchange
 2007.

 There are a lot of ex-MVPs who now work at MSFT. And a fair number of
 current MVPs who used to work at MSFT. It goes both ways.

 MSFT Consulting Services (MCS) employees spend 80% of their time on the
 road. For some of them, that just means they drive down the street. For
 most, it means airports and hotels.

 PSS generally stays at home; except for premier engineering that may be
 deployed in 'fly and fix' situations.

 I'm not clear on the escalation backend on how you get from 'a' to 'b'.

 What are the benefits of working for msft?

 I currently work for a large bank and going to msft would be a pay cut
 in some ways (base salary).

 People always say that msft looks good on your resume but how does that
 translate into a benefit if you already work for a bank  which has deep
 pockets (and pays OT and lets you work from hom whenever you
 want)

 also, what are the non-mercenary benefits?
 will i get a deeper knowledge of exchange/AD/windows etc that i could
 not get anywhere else?
 If i put the effort in, will i be able to improve my exchange skills
 there more than anywhere else or on my own?

 what is the work/life balance?
 i have 2 kids and would like to see them (alot)

 Thanks again (as always)
