RE: Potential List Move
Michael, Thanks very much for this information and addressing this. I was not aware of this other list resource but it looks pretty good at first glance. I have already registered at the site for EXCHANGE and NTSYSADMIN , and see several more that relate directly to my job which I will give a try. Thanks again for all you help. Dana From: Michael B. Smith [mailto:mich...@smithcons.com] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 11:50 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Potential List Move Folks - As was mentioned here late last week, Stu mentioned on the NTSysAdmin list that that list was going to be shut down. And he said it was happening soon: as in tomorrow. Despite an email to the proper person at GFI, I have not been able to determine whether that affects this list or what the actual drop dead date is. Rod Trent, of myITForum (owned by WindowsITPro, that is Penton Media) has set up replacement lists for both Exchange and for NTSysAdmin.

For insurance, if for no other reason, I encourage you to go register yourselves for the Exchange list (and the NTSysAdmin list, if you are on that list as well). The list is available via email and via the web. So both options are available to you. The sign-up is at: http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/services/email-lists/ Hope to see you there.

FOPE has a spam engine, Exchange has a spam engine, and Outlook has a spam engine. FOPE configuration is stand alone Exchange configuration allows you to define a confidence level as to whether a piece of email is spam or not and depending on that confidence level to drop the message or to send it on to Outlook. Outlook also has a spam engine. Based on the SCL it will either immediately file the message in Junk, or re-evaluate the message based on its own spam engine. Based on that evaluation it is either placed into Inbox or Junk. Exchange gets semi-regular updates directly from Microsoft. Outlook engine updates come out as patches to Outlook.

RE: Departmental distribution lists - or shared contact - how to let the department or user manage?
Exchange 2010 SP2 UR3 Outlook 2010. W2K8 R2 SP1 servers and domain Greetings and WOW, thanks for all the response posts ( I read all ) as this certainly seems to be a topic of interest. Much better specific info than what I was finding in Google and technet and what everyone is doing seems to be excellent advice. First question - is it better to set up the DL in the EMC, or in ADCU? I generally use EMC for any ad hoc Exchange matters like DLs as most of our exchange routine processes are automated. I then check in AD and ADUC to verify. I set up a DL in the EMC console under Distribution Groups , and verified the DL is in ADUC also. It shows in ADCU as GROUP SCOPE UNVERSAL and GROUP TYPE DISTRIBUTION so that should all be correct. (thanks for the screen snips about managed by, etc. - my screens are slightly different, but likely due to versions) I can figure all this out with the proper selections (or post), and since I am only dealing with maybe a dozen DLs, I want to keep simple and can handle some micromanagement if the responsible user changes - using KISS methods. (glad I don't have to deal with 2000 DLs like some of you). Second question - once I verify all of the above, it is not clear to me how the responsible user will manage this from the Outlook 2010 client. I will set myself up as the first manager and test from my outlook client. If any specifics can be provided, that would be a great help so I can test. Thanks again for all the great responses as I have learned a lot today.

RE: Mailbox - Deleted Items and Recoverable Items - remove all retention from specific mailboxes
Ravi, Thanks for your reply. I have been considering that option as well, but was not sure if the mailbox setting (0 or 1) would override the global system setting (60). It sounds like if I set the mail box setting to 0 or 1, this will override the system global setting of 60 for this mailbox only? If so, this sounds pretty straight forward and an easier solution. It looks like this can also done in the EMC GUI to accomplish the same goal?: EMC - MAILBOX - MAILBOX SETTINGS - STORAGE QUOTAS - DELETED ITEMS RETENTION - KEEP DELETED ITEMS FOR DAYS) - change this to (1). If all that sounds correct, then I only have one more question regarding the DELETED ITEMS folder for the mailbox. (I believe this is different than the RECOVERABLE ITEMS settings, but not sure.) Most of our user mailboxes are created automatically when user accounts are set up using scheduled PS batch process scripts and default retention tags policy is applied ( and this includes a 30 day limit for DELETED ITEMS). For this mailbox, I can get around this by just using the EMC, create the mailbox, and not apply any retention policy. I have already tested and found, with no retention policy in place, DELETED ITEMS remain indefinitely and I can access for several months back even though RECOVER DELETED ITEMS in the client goes back only 60 days. So the question I am trying to sort out is, if I create the mailbox as noted above with all the settings noted, with no retention tag policy assigned to the mailbox, will this also apply to the mailbox DELETED ITEMS folder, or will I need to create a specific retention tag policy for DELETED ITEMS to apply just to this mailbox to make sure it is not retaining DELETED ITEMS for more than a day or so? Doing my best to explain our environment but hoping for list response.

( 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: GMail sending woes
Greetings, Just checking in to share with the list some similar issues I have seen and what I did to resolve - - but YMMV and your issue may be entirely different. (We are EXCHANGE 2010 SP2 UR3 just as an FYI but probably not related). We had very erratic email delivery issues to COMCAST and a couple of other email sites last spring. It took some time to sort out by creating specific connectors to these sites to monitor. What I eventually determined in all the cases - the email host sites had converted to using DNSSEC. Remember this was a year ago so recent MS EXCHANGE updates may or may not have resolved. (I would be interested to hear if this is still an issue with current EXCHANGE updates?) What I did last year was similar to what Michael Smith noted recently, and set connectors to use an external DNS lookup. This single setting is what seemed to resolve our connector issues. I have not heard of any issues related to this now for several months on our campus. Again, just my notes from the trenches, and YMMV. Thank you. Dana From: Michael B.

AOL's corporate Enterprise Messaging Operations team has been monitoring a rapidly increasing and unusually large volume of traffic across our enterprise mail environment originating from iOS devices running the new iOS 6.1 update. We have researched this problem and appears to be connected to a recently identified issue that seems to cause these iOS devices to continuously loop while synchronizing a recurring calendar meeting invitation. Similar problems have been reported by a number of sources to several media outlets across the Web in the past few days. While our team continues to work productively and rapidly with Apple and Microsoft to resolve the issue, it has been necessary to temporarily disable the ability to accept or manage calendar meetings using mobile devices to ensure that we maintain the integrity of our corporate enterprise messaging platform. Since this change is limited to managing calendar invitations, by disabling them temporarily we allow our employees to continue to experience the excellent productivity these devices bring to our enterprise until this issue is resolved.

RE: Exchange 2010 - recover deleted items ICON
Richard, Thanks for the response and what I thought from reading the various docs on GOOGLE. FYI, I did meet with user today and using RECOVER DELETED ITEMS, found tons of deleted emails around the dates in question. User did agree that maybe when she cleaned out the INBOX, she may have accidently cleaned out the DELETED ITEMS folder as well. At least now, she does have a recovery option - if she wants to sift through all that. Thanks for the help.

When you talk about Recover Deleted Items (the icon on the toolbar) this is looking in the Dumpster of the mailbox, which is controlled by the database flag RetainDeletedItemsFor parameter, I think. If you take a PST export of the mailbox, you'll see a Recoverable Items folder. Anything from the Dumpster should be in there. You'll also see folders called Versions and Purges, but I'm not sure what they're for. Hope this helps a bit.

Met with user and verified this appears to be the case. Looked in DELETED ITEMS and hoping to see a lots of emails in there going back some time, but only a couple of recent items found that the user had deleted recently Check all I could think of with filters, searching for older emails and found nothing. Switched user outlook to ONLINE mode just to be certain it was not a CACHE issue, with same result. Even if the user had accidently deleted all emails prior to 1/1/13 a couple of days ago, I would expect to see them in DELETED ITEMS. So I am stumped at this point. After meeting with user, I started wondering if recover deleted items ICON might help, but will meet with user next week. I am trying to understand the difference between simply having the user recover deleted items from the DELETED ITEMS folder vs. using the recover deleted items ICON and how this works. Normally, we just tell the user to go to DELETED ITEMS and recover from there (30 days back). I looked at several articles searching GOOGLE, but still not clear on the difference or why we would tell a user to use recover deleted items ICON instead of just recovering from DELETED ITEMS folder. My best guess is that if the user forced deletion in the DELETED ITEMS (no evidence at this point this is what happened) - then recover deleted items ICON would be the next step? FYI, we don't do mailbox restores unless critical - and this is not a critical situation. Just hoping for some ideas on what may have happened and anything I missed searching for the deleted mail.

RE: Outlook Subfolders - Place under Root or Inbox?
Greetings, You did not mention your EXCHANGE and client versions? I support EXCHANGE 2010.x with 1300 users so that is my caveat. Regarding performance issues, unless you have some server issues, I have not heard about the folder location being a performance issue. I would suggest you determine if your clients are using ONLINE or CACHED mode just so you know. There can be site specific setups on why you are using either/both configurations. As others noted, if you have Retention Tags, then you have to know where they are applied. At my site, we apply to the INBOX (and some other standard folders) , and that is where our users create sub folders. But YMMV if this is not an issue. Again, I am not aware of a folder performance issue with any of this, and more of an operational and support issue managing your EXCHANGE environment. Hope this helps or please post any questions.

Renew EXCHANGE 2010 SSL certs
Greetings, W2K8 R2 SP1 EXCHANGE 2010 SP2 UR3 Two node DAG with two hosts. Each host runs mailbox, CAS and hub transport role with hardware load balancer out front. We use a three year wildcard (which I just renewed for another three years) , and need to update/install EXCHANGE 2010 hosts SSL so reading up on what is required for minimal down time - if any. Our EXCHANGE 2010 environment was all set up by our consultants some time ago and now need to renew the SSL certs - and I have never done this for EXCHANGE 2010. (we do this routinely for apps servers, but it looks like a lot more detail involved for EXCHANGE 2010 to cover all bases - but it looks like one options is to use EMC GUI?) My cert vendor posts the following link that shows a lot of EXCHANGE 2010 generic detail and hoping this may be helpful to others that have to do this: http://www.digicert.com/ssl-certificate-renewal-exchange-2010.htm For those that have the time and EXCHANGE SSL experience to review what is included in the above link, I would appreciate any comments - as I am sure that other EXCHANGE 2010 sites will also have to do this at some point. Otherwise, I simply hope the above link is helpful for those that are starting to plan for SSL cert upgrades in EXCHANGE 2010 in the future for a reference. Thanks for your help and any comments.

RE: Outlook disconnects
Greetings, Not sure if this is the same issue you are having, but similar to what I see and hoping for some input from the list as I look to find a solution. W2K8 R2 SP1 servers EXCHANGE 2010 SP2 UR3. 1200 Mailboxes EXCHANGE 2010 client Two node(server) DAG Each node runs the CAS and MAILOBOX roles with a hardware load balancer. Users routinely see the prompt you mention every month when we flip the MOUNTED and HEALTHY databases so we can do MSUPDATES. Not a big deal, but it always results in calls and I am looking to make this a better experience for the users. I have done a little research. The link below seems to describe what we observe so please take a look. http://anewmessagehasarrived.blogspot.com/2011/07/outlook-authentication-popup-when.html However, we do get a couple of user calls each week reporting the same during normal hours and I occasionally see this myself. I believe all our PCs are rolled with EXCHANGE 2010 client Negotiate Authentication. This is the way it was set up when we installed EXCHANGE 2010 a couple of years ago by the consultants. The other options ( looking in the client) are: Kerberos Password Authentication Password Authentication ( NTLM). The link I posted seems to indicate that NTLM will solve the issue? Before I ask more questions, I am hoping someone can explain a little better what all this means and if that is a valid solution. What is not clear to me is if we can change the settings on a few clients to NTLM, to test or does this require we make changes on our EXCHANGE SERVERS as well. One consultant I checked with indicated this was all or nothing and if we make any changes, it needs to be done on both the servers and the clients at the same time. That would be a huge project with 1200 user PCs on a large college campus. Not sure I agree, but I simply don't have the EXCHANGE experience to know the correct answer. I am wondering if we can't just make the change on a couple of the client PCs that routinely report this problem to test before we do something in full production? Hoping for some input on this.

RE: Meeting requests don't appear in Manager's calendar if delegate is logged out
Greetings and I have read the threads. (thanks for providing your EXCHANGE version details). It sounds like the concern is the PC desktop OUTOOK client is not showing proper info or things are missing? I get this type of ticket from time to time - and sometimes a panic call and so far only APPLE mobile products. Not sure if this will help you with your problem since we don't know the cause, so just the process I follow to work on this type of ticket with mobile devices. First question I ask is do you sync with mobile devices and you indicated YES and that is always the case here. I meet with requestor in office (requesting they bring all mobile devices) and review PC client status to see if anything is amiss - and so far no EXCHANGE PC client issues identified. (what I sometimes find is users have made all kinds of changes on the mobile device that introduce variables). I then review mobile device configs, and either make changes, or just help them set up all the accounts new with settings I know from experience work. So far, this has resolved all issues with point being this was user config issues on the mobile devices. YMMV. I have not had to address this with IOS 6.0.1 which came out November 1, as I don't have any current tickets with mobile sync issues. Hopefully someone on the list will post if there are known issues with IOS 6.0.1.

Disable Archive - then re-enable if needed EXCHANGE 2010 SP1
Greetings, We have EXCHANGE 2010 SP1 about 1200 users. When we migrated from NOVELL GROUPWISE 8 , we had to provide archives for a smooth transition. For legal reasons, we wish to disable archives for many users, but need the ability to re-enable if needed with the data available. So if we use the EXCHANGE MMC (or PS script) and disable archive for a user(s), can we simply go back in EXCHANGE MMC and enable if needed? Putting this another way, does disable archive remove the archive data, or is it as simple as going back, click enable archive and the user archive data will be restored? Thank you for any input.

RE: Send As Sent Items
Greetings, We use many central mailboxes as well. We had this problem with OUTLOOK 2010 rollout and had to request a hotfix from MS to resolve. Not sure why this basic function was not built into the client. YMMV,but check KB 2459115 to start -there may be a newer KB or someone on list will respond. We also had to do ( per MS ) 1) Create the following Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences DWORD: delegatesentitemsstyle Value: 1 But this did resolve the issues. Again, this is for OUTLOOK 2010. Thank you. Dana From: Eric [mailto:seag...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2011 4:15 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Send As Sent Items I am not sure if this is an Exchange our Outlook related question. We have a central mailbox where users are given send as permission to review and respond to incoming correspondence. When they respond to an email, the message is saved to their sent items vs. the sent items of the central mailbox. Is there a way to make sure the sent messages are places in the Sent Items of corresponding mailbox?

File Server Witness 2010 SP1
Greetings, We have EXCHANGE 2010 SP1 two host DAG on single site (no DAC). With only two DAG hosts, we clearly need the FSW on line on a third box for any major failover quorum. Per MS documents: We recommend that you use an Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server in the Active Directory site containing the DAG. This allows the witness server and directory to remain under the control of an Exchange administrator. In my case we manage the whole network and AD environment, so this is less of an issue. Installing a third EXCHANGE box is an option, but not sure I need to go this way right now - as there are workarounds - and managing another box just for FSW is something I hope to avoid. Could we install the FSW on one of our DCs? This would make management easier, as we always know DC status quickly. But not finding this in the MS documentation yet as to if this would be a concern. Thanks for any suggestions.

EXCHANGE 2010 SP1 - prevent specific user from sending any emails
Greetings, I am a long time network and server systems admin, but recently became responsible for EXCHANGE environment management as well - so still learning. We are EXCHANGE 2010 SP1. Current request I am working on is: We have a specific user where everything should remain functional - EXCEPT - the user should not be allowed to send any emails at all to either internal or external. Hub Transport is where I have been looking - from people - add user from list - and next screen But not sure of the best option to select to test: send rejection message with enhanced status code (this leads to more wizard screens I can't answer) Delete the message without notifying anyone The second option would be OK, but it would be nice to provide a notification to the user to remind them they can't send anything. Putting this another way, the goal is to make sure the user has a fully functional mailbox - EXCEPT not allowed to send ANY emails. Hoping someone has had to deal with this scenario for a specific user. Thanks for any suggestions.

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.

RE: Move mailbox
Greetings, We started testing online mailbox moves (small test sample) within an EXCHANGE 2010 SP1 DAG environment, with mixed results. Our consultant told us that with EXCHANGE 2010 SP1 it should be seamless to all online users with no prompts, but not what we found - although not that bad either. Some were prompted to authenticate again - others noticed nothing. We are still trying to figure details out as we make some major moves to new DBs.
