This could well be the freakiest problem I have seen in years, or at least the more unexplainable. 

We have the Multi-Mailbox Search feature in place, all things have been configured properly that I know of, and it has been working fine for about a year or two with several past searches done. 

So we have a person named Jill. And we have a domain user account named Search.  Jill has been asked to be able to do multi-mailbox searches.  But it's not always her that does them, sometimes it's other people in legal, so instead of enabling Jill's Exchange account to have access, we created another generic user called "Search" that anybody with authority can use.  "Search" has been given the necessary setup options to enable them to do Multi-Mailbox Search. 

The normal process is to go to OWA 2010 as the user "Search", go to Options > View All Options, then instead of Manage Myself, go to My Organization, and then to the Mail Control section.  This is where the search gets done.  The search is performed, the completion status shows, and this is normally where the person clicks the little link called Open, which then opens a new tab and displays the contents of the Discovery Search Mailbox 0565406545640 (or whatever it's name is) with the results displayed.  . 

The problem is, for Jill whenever she does this on her computer, it opens a new tab but instead of showing the Discovery Search mailbox, it instead just gives her an OWA login screen. 

That alone is an odd problem, however here is the big kicker.  If I remote into Jill's computer (RDP), taking over her session, if I click that same little Open link, it works properly.  To be clear, I am not logging her out and then in, or anything, I am simply logging in to take over her session. 

And further on that, every time I have ever remoted into the computer to test this over the past several days, it works when I'm logged in as her.  And if I access OWA from outside the network, that also works fine. 

I really have no idea what to say about this.  Any ideas? 

I have Exchange 2010 SP2 Update Rollup 4, SBS 2011 (which is similar to Server 2008 R2). I have recently recovered from a server crash due to a faulty RAID controller and need to recover some e-mail (and possibly contacts) from a couple of mailboxes.

My main concern is that my old .edb file is in a old forest that is different than my current forest. Due to the length of the old internal domain name having more than 15 characters (I previously migrated using a answer file) and my current internal domain name is 15 characters.local they are different.

I also dont have the log files or STM file

With the two internal domain names being different will I still be able to follow this related topic:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/zh/exchange2010/thread/8f4eb425-72ff-4d18-abfc-5c00be7113e2

If not please let me know which direction I should be going. I know there are third part tools that can get this done but not in the budget right now.

Hi, we're facing this problem:

1. Users start complaining they suddenly don’t receive new mail notifications in Outlook (2010/2013)  anymore
2. Inbox does not show the new mail either
3. When the user changes folders in outlook, the new mail does show in the Inbox folder
4. Restarting Outlook shows the new mail as well.
5. The same new e-mail arrives instantly (with notifications) in Owa and on mobile devices
6. Sometimes the new mail notification pops up after a longer period of time (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes). But more often not at all.
7. This issue seems to occur at random. We’ve been problem free for a week, and sometimes it comes back three times a day.
8. Clients running Outlook 2010, 2013 cached or online, on site and off site. So it seems server related, not client.
9. It was seen first around January 8th. We did not make any changes around that time that we can link to this problem.
10. Only one CAS server (EXCH1-RTD) shows this issue. CAS servers on other sites are ok
11. EXCH1-RTD has CAS and HUB transport roles. The same site has two mailbox only servers. EXCH2-RTD (mailbox server for normal mailboxes). And EXCH3-RTD (mailbox server for archive mailboxes)
12. No entries in the event logs that seems to be related

As the problem only occurs with Outlook clients, I suspected RPC issues. We cannot gracefully stop the “Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access” service on EXCH1-RTD  while the issue occurs. We can only kill the process and restart the service, solving the issue instantly.

What we’ve tried until now:

1. Updated all Exchange servers from Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 to RU8-v2 (server OS=W2K8R2)
2. Updated all Exchange servers  to latest critical Windows updates
3. Recalculated requirements using MS Sizing tool.  Upgraded EXCH1-RTD  VM from 8GB and 2 vCPU (1 core/cpu) to 16GBand 4vCPU (1 core/cpu)
4. Ran various perfmon counters and compared them with other Exchange servers, not finding any obvious anomalies.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All,

Running Exchange 2010 SP3  with Rollup Update 8V2. (Role –HT ; certificate - self signed)

When use EMC giving an error. But I can do all the stuff using EMS. Even getting same error when  connect the server from local system EMC. I have not found any valid logs in Event viewer.

Below is the error snapshot. Please share you suggestions to fix this issue.

Thanks.

Hi,

I just want to know the normal process of outlook to connect to Exchange server 2010 , as every morning I am getting reports from ISA admin about the number of connections made by exchange server to ISA.

As per my little knowledge , clients on internal network shouldn't use port 443(RPC over HTTPS) for Exchange connectivity. Please correct me if i am wrong and help me in understanding the flow.

Thanks !

Hi Team

i have a very silly doubt in my exchnage 2010 environment with two sites

 two mailbox servers (Site A )  and another two mailbox servers in site B  .All the four mailbox servers is same DAG 

site A mailbox database copies are available in site B and Vice Versa.

in site A , if two mailbox servers is down / not reachable, automatically the database are moved from site A to Site B and mounted over there. and normal mailflow is happening with interruption of few sec / minutes

then why we need Datacenter SwitchOver  and what is is purpose of doing Datacenter SwitchOver and Datacenter SwitchBack, as the mailflow is functioning without any issue

it may be silly , but i would like to be very clear from  top of my head

thanks team

Folks,

I'm planning to apply the Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3 and also applying the Cumulative Update 7 along with Windows Update which haven't been done since the past two years (~100+ patches).

So in this case it I cannot afford to lose any of the Exchange Server due to the bad updates or broken server due to patches. At The moment all of the VMs currently running on VMware:

HT/CAS role Windows NLB:
PRODMAIL01-VM
PRODMAIL02-VM

Mailbox Server stand-alone non-DAG:
PRODMBX01-VM
PRODMBX02-VM

Domain Controllers:
PRODDC01
PRODDC02

My questions are:

1. When taking the VMware snapshot for easy roll-back, do I have to take the entire 2 sets of the domain controller as well?

2. Assuming I have done the Schema Update successfully and moving on to apply the SP3 to the HT/CAS server role, do I have to take both of the mailbox server VMs snapshot as well?

3. Can I disconnect the virtual NIC inside the guest OS to safely take snapshot before applying the patches or service pack ? or do I have to let the network to be always connected during the Service Pack or CU patch process ?

Any kind of suggestion for a better way to quickly roll back broken Exchange server due to patching would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have an Exchange 2010 SP3 with several email accounts classified in domains and each doman in its database. Recently we delete one database and all email account from one domain (for example testmail.com). Now, this domain works outside our organisation, they can send mail to us but when we send mail to them, the email stays in our server queue with this error message:

"the recipient'smailboxhas nomailboxdatabase"

The queue's name is "domain is not reachable".

I think that our server is still trying to send the emails to testmail.com inside our Exchange server instead of looking outside. The DNS resolutions works correctly and there is nothing relatively to testmail.com in our server now.

I have not touched anything using adsiedit, first of all, I want to know if I have to do something using EMC or powershell.

Thank you very much

Hello all,

I can usually resolve issues by researching on Google. I'm sure there is a setting I've missed but I'm noexpert. I've looked through so many forums, discussions, and blogs but i cannot find an answer.

Auto discover works perfect inside the domain.

Outlook web app also works perfect.

Mail flows internally and externally.

I have split DNS. I have created a domain.local and domain.com. I've created an auto discover record in domain.com.

Godaddy is my DNS provider. I have tried various combinations for autodiscover. Currently using the SRV service 

I have a UCC cert with domain.com, mail.domain.local, autodiscover.domain.com, and mail.domain.com

Service: _autodiscover

I have checked permissions for all directories in default website. I found a chart on some obscure site that had the correct configuration. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi...

 Our company is running Exchange Server 2010 SP3 Standart would like to have Shared calendar with organisation running with Exchange online.

 We made a Federation trust between organisations and I checked that one certificate was installed and the rule for their domain was created. but when I try to share my calendar I always receive.

"Calendar sharing is not available with the following contacts because of permission settings on your network."

Name I took from GAL or input manually and always same. Forgot to mention that we migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2010 SP3 and all old exchange servers I removed. I tried everything that I know and read and nothing helped.

Hope for your support.

Thank you.

Hi all,

We are planning to upgrade our current Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, Need some help on installation and Support of Exchange 2010 in Windows 2012 Server, as per thehttps://technet.microsoft.com/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx Exchange 2010 with sp3 is supported in Windows 2012 but I am unable to find the installer of Ex 2010 with sp3 in web even in MSDN. There is only Ex 2010 with Sp1 available. I know that after installing ex2010 with sp1 version, I can install sp3 later but I found one linkhttp://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000785.htm where it is mentioned that insllation can be done only after doing the registry settings.

So is any one who has installed Ex 2010 in Windows 2012 Server and faced this issue and any solution.

Thanks

I'm a bit of an Exchange N00b.

I've seen the articles on searching log files using the specific "get-messagetrackinglog," etc.

I wonder if our Exchange environment is missing a parameter somewhere in that our email is routed in and out of GoogleApps.  

If a message sent to our Exchange exceeds the maximum size allowed, an NDR will be sent to GoogleApps.  I can search GoogleApps reports for an NDR, but it seems like having an NDR generated would get logged somewhere that can be monitored.  Otherwise, I receive a ticket from the User that was expecting the email and I'd like to be ahead of the game.

Thank you for any help you can offer,

Mr Mister

• Shutdown the Primary site DAG members
• Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup –Identity “dag01” –Server “servername”
• Stop-Service ClusSvc  on DR site
• Restore-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity " dag01"  -ActiveDirectorySite “DR site name”
• Set-MailboxServer –Identity “drmbx01” –Databasecopyautoactivationpolicy Unrestricted
• move-activemailboxdatabase  -identity users –server drMBX01

I need some clarity on the below command where our Primary Site servers are down and if we use below command will that work. If it work then what would be the backend process happen at the time executing the command.

Command :- move-activemailboxdatabase  -identity users –server drMBX01

Note: Basically we will use the above mentioned command to activate the databases from one server to another server on such case the server holds active copy and target server which is going to have all the activated copies needs to be communicated each other and then only command will get succeeded.But on the above command we are not mentioning the server name from where the databases has to come and get activated on MBX01(DR site mailbox server).

Greetings!

We are preparing to place our Exchange 2010 environment into a hybrid deployment with O365 and pilot some mailbox moves.  In preparation for this, I was hoping someone could confirm the following:

1. For certificate requirements, if I look at the certificates on our hub transport servers (which also hold the mailbox role), we are using internal CA certificates.  I understand that for hybrid deployment, these need to be public certificates for the secure TLS connection.  I am planning on using two servers on premise as hybrid servers - one in our US office and another in our UK office.  Can I use one public cert, and in the SAN list, have the FQDN for both servers?  So in essence I would have our email domain and then in the SAN, server1.org.net and server2.org.net.  I would then assign this certificate to SMTP service I assume.

2. When creating the certificate request from within Exchange for the above mentioned cert, under Hub Transport Server, I would check 'use mutual TLS'.  Do I also need to check the box for 'use this certificate for Federated Delegation'?.

3. Is there any huge benefit to standing up an Exchange 2013 server in our environment to act as the hybrid server?  I am trying to simplify the hybrid deployment and would prefer not to stand up new servers unless there is a good reason to do so.

4. My boss is concerned about opening up access to our hybrid server from the outside.  I understand that we are only opening ports 443 and 25 from the O365 IP range to the hub transport / hybrid server.  Anyone have any advice on best practices for security?

Thanks in advance!

We are using Exchange 2010 and I recently created a new database to use as a Archive database to move 1 year old messages  and be accessible to users as a folder on their emails. I was able to apply the tag "All other folders" on Retention tags and applied to a test mailbox. It was successful and I was able to access those archived mails on a separate folder that showed the database for the user. It was visible on OWA whereas when we configured the email id to a Outlook, it was not showing that database folder or the mails. Please let me know what more of setting I should be looking at to get this working.

FYI, I tried on a Ms Outlook Professional plus 2010 and 2013. But didn't show.

Hi,

We're trying to avoid an issue where users with identical first and last names are getting numbers appended to their email address prefix.  Obviously this is normal behaviour, but it is one we'd like to bypass.

The first "John Smith" is getting the address john.smith@mydomain.com.  The second will get john.smith1@mydomain.com.  Instead, I'd like him to get JohnS@mydomain.com. A third John Smith would get something like JSmith@mydomain.com. Eventually of course, we'd have to put in a number, once the various options had exhausted.

I can't see anyway in Exchange to implement this - it seems to apply exactly one policy and append a number if there is a duplicate.  Any advice?

I'll be updating an existing email address policy and to manage the impact of making this change i will be selecting "Do Not Apply" on the scheduling page.   I understand that this configuration will enable the updated policy to be applied to newly created recipients and existing recipients that have one or more attributes changed.   I have been searching the web but have been unable to identity what attribute change(s) would result in the reasssessment of a recipients' email address policy.   Can you direct me to some microsoft documentation which identifies what exactly triggers this reassessment for an individual recipient?
