Is there a way to restrict Outlook Anywhere by IP Address

We are currently able to restrict OWA to certain Public IP's so workers in remote offices can login.  Is there a way to do that for Outlook Anywhere as well?

OWA GAL add contact card field

Hi!

We use Exchange 2010.

Is it possible to add fields to the contact card we see in the OWA GAL? For example, we'd like to add second mobile number there.

Email Address Policies and Distribution Groups

0
0

Hi Guys!

I have a problem with “department” attribute for distribution groups.
There is some DGs with department = DEPT1

Also there is 2 EAP:
Priority 1 – Catch all recipients with department = DEPT1 and assign %m@DEPT1.com
Default – Catch all recipients and assign %m@default.com

If I manually apply (via ECP) EAP with priority 1 then all DGs with department = DEPT1 will get @DEPT1.com addresses as it should be, but if I change one of those DGs, for example display name, default policy will set %m@default.com address.

This occurs only with distribution groups, all users behave correctly.

I have Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6. AD Forest 2008 r2 with no migrations in past.

I will be appreciated for any advice.

after recover of Exchange 2010 hub; Outlook not connecting

0
0

Exchange 2010 sp 3, Windows Server 2008 R2 sp1

one of my hub (1 of 2) server failed this morning (no thanks to KB2993651) so in a fit of hurry, i reformatted the server,deleted the computer account from AD and reinstalled Windows Server 2008 R2 sp1. here is what i did to recover:

  1. from the command line of the server: netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled; netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
  2. HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters -> DWORD-32 (DisabledComponents) with a value of 0xffffffff
  3. made the server a member of "Exchange Install Domain Servers", "Exchange Trusted Subsystem", "Exchange Servers"

and then i issued the command: setup /m:recoverServer

it went fine well. i also joined it back to Windows NLB cluster.

but when it's online, some Outlook users aren't able to connect. OWA also fails. i can't figure out what's wrong so for now i shutdown the server and am using only one Hub server.

maybe i missed a step? appreciate any help.


EDIT: in the same hub server was my DAG witness folder. i don't know if this has implications now that i lost the DAG witness server (this hub server)

Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 6 breaks first OWA login (timezone selection) on SBS 2011

The Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 6 broke the OWA for Users who access OWA for the first time and have to set a timezone. They get this error:
Request
Url: https://xxxxx:443/owa/languageselection.aspx
User: xxxxxx
EX Address: /o=First Organization/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=xxxxx
SMTP Address: xxxxxx
OWA version: 14.3.195.1

Exception
Exception type: System.ArgumentNullException
Exception message: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value

System.Web.UI.Page.Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

This Server is an SBS2011.
The update broke nothing on a "normal" 2008R2 with exchange 2010.
Uninstalling RU6 helped but thats obviously not the desired way.

Removing the RenderTimeZoneSelection() call from languageselection.aspx obviously helped but then there is no timezone dropdown displayed anymore. The timezone dropdown is working normaly in other places like ecp. Afaik this error occours only in the languageselection.aspx file which is displayed for "new" OWA users. (Users without a timezone set)

my workaround was to set the language and timezone for these mailboxes via exchange shell.

Room Mailbox / Resource mailbox visible for all customers. Possible to hide?

0
0

Hi there,

We are hosting several clients on an Exchange 2010 (14.2, Build 247.5) environment.
Each client (company) is setup with their own GAL, with a custom attribute to identify with for the mailboxes.

The problem i'm having is that all created Room mailboxes/Resource mailboxes are visible for every single client/company.

Is there any possible way to easily hide Room mailboxes, and only make them visible for the company users themselves?
So far we have only restricted booking access, so that only employees of said company can book meetings, but we would like to hide them for other users as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Exchange Server Recovery

H,

  I am creating a test environment considering that both of my DAG members are lost(ie; no working Exchange server).

  I have restored the latest AD backup in the test environment, reset the exchange server computer account in AD.

  Installed everything on another server for Exchange server, installed the pre-requisites.

  Finally i ran the setup.com /m:recoverserver command.

  After a lot of checkups the setup ends with an error "Mailbox Role Checks : FAILED    Exchange server is a member of a Database Availability Group".

  Anyone please help me how we can recover exchange if all the dag members are completely lost.

IIS ApplicationHost.config file is not properly cleaned on deleting virtual application

We are creating the a virtual application programatically and updated the ApplicationHost.config file as below using ServerManager API avaialbe in Microsoft.Web.Administration

        <system.webServer>
            <directoryBrowse enabled="false" showFlags="Date, Time, Size, Extension" />

                        </providers>
                    </windowsAuthentication>
                    <anonymousAuthentication enabled="true" />
                    <digestAuthentication enabled="false" />

            <defaultDocument enabled="true">

                <remove name="RoleManager" />
            </modules>
        </system.webServer>
    </location>


We have removed the application using the below code

        string parent = "IIS://" + serverName + "/W3SVC/1/Root";
        string directoryName = "Test";

            using (DirectoryEntry iisRoot = new DirectoryEntry(parent))
            {
                // searching for the specified virtual Directory in root
                foreach (DirectoryEntry dirEntry in iisRoot.Children)
                {
                    if (dirEntry.Name.Equals(directoryName))
                    {
                        // deletes the virtual directory                        
                        parent.Children.Remove(entry);
                        break;
                    }
                }
            } 

The problem is the applicationHost.config file is not cleaned completely still the belo part remains

    <location path="Default Web Site/Test">
        <system.webServer>
            <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" runManagedModulesForWebDavRequests="true">
                <remove name="RoleManager" />
            </modules>
        </system.webServer>
    </location>

This issue occurs only in IIS version 8.0 and above. How do we get a clean ApplicationHost.config file without any of the settings related to our "Test" virtual application when we delete the virtual application programatically?





Re-create Mailbox Database

0
0

I have a DB on a disk that is almost out of space, so I've moved all user mailboxes to a new DB, as recommended rather than offline defragging.

I have a single DAG made up of 3 members although 2 have all the DB Split between them (Active/passive).

Anyway I want to know now I've moved all users off it the simplest way of removing the existing DB (Which now only has the System arbitration mailbox left on it) and re-creating it ? e.g; can I simply remove the DB via powershell, what happens to arbitration or do I not care?, then setup as if I was creating a brand new DB with the same name ?

steps and Suggestions please, Many Thanks
