Mail not forwarding to Edge server in DMZ

$
0
0

First off, this is a lab environment - no internet connection.

EXCH-A01: W2K8R2x64-SP1, joined to domain, 10.x.x.x network, DNS is AD Integrated 10.x.x.101

EDGE-A01: W2K8R2x64-SP1, NOT joined to domain but FQDN set to be same domain as EXCH-A01, 200.x.x.x network, DNS is NOT AD integrated 200.x.x.201

EXCH-A01 can nslookup and ping EDGE-A01 by FQDN.

EDGE-A01 can NOT nslookup BUT it CAN pin EXCH-A01 by FQDN - guessing this is part of the issue but can't find why.

Created the EDGE-A01 and EXCH-A01 sync file and synching is working. If I change settings on the hub for send connectors, they are reflected on the edge.

Mail sent from user inside the domain to xxx@yahoo.com gets stuck in the outgoing queue on the EXCH-A01(hub) server and never gets to the EDGE-A01.

As a test, changed network configuration for EDGE-A01 and moved it onto the 10.x.x.x network; recreated the sync and tried the email test again. This time the email left the hub and sat in the queue on the edge - which is what I expected. Eventually, the edge gaveup trying to send the email and sent back an undeliverable message.

SO questions/issues:

What DNS entries need to be on the DNS that is configured inside the DMZ. Currently I have just the 200.x.x.x machines' A records.

Manually created an A record on the primary DNS (AD integrated zone) for the EDGE-A01 200.x.x.x so that EXCH-A01 can nslookup and ping the edge by FQDN.

I found 1 reference on technet that says the EDGE-A01 must be dual NICd - this makes no sense as it defeats the purpose of having it in the DMZ (at least in my opinion).

The error in the queue for EXCH-A01: "451 5.7.3 Cannot achieve Exchange Server authentication." - guessing this has part to do with it but searching all points to firewall/ASA issues. EVERY firewall in the domain is turned off. ASA is configured to allow any/any right now.

I've been searching here and elsewhere online and found every setup/installation guide. I've deleted and rebuilt the EDGE-A01 3 times. Been fighting this for 2 weeks and really need to figure this out as the next step will be harder - how to simulate the internet in this lab so that the mail actually looks like it goes out and comes back.

Appreciate any help/links/pointers anyone can provide.

Certain emails going directly to deleted items

$
0
0

Hi, we have a single user where certain emails (no discernible pattern) are moved to Deleted items.  They cannot be moved back to the Inbox (immediately reappear in Deleted) but they can be moved to another folder.  No visible rules on Outlook or Exchange.  We have restarted Outlook with the /cleanrules switch, moved the mailbox to an alternate database and disabled cached mode all without success.  The issue is reproducible on a separate PC.  However, OWA *appears* OK.

Does anyone have any thoughts on a potential cause?  Any assistance appreciated.

Public Folder Migration issues

$
0
0

Hello,

I am at the last stages of migrating from exchange 2007 SP3 to 2010 SP3. Both versions have a CAS, HT, and MBX server. I've moved all the databases across and also replicated the public folder contents using: 

AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -Server 2007MBX -TopPublicFolder "\" 
-ServerToAdd 2010MBX

After resolving all the public folder item errors that popped up, I decided to move the public folders across. I ran the \moveallreplicas.ps1 script.

On the Exchange 2007 MBX server, I got some EXCDO errors :

Event ID 8237: Calendaring agent failed with error 0x80040219 while attempting to open the status message. If the user is a delegate, the access rights to the mailbox might not be set up correctly.  Otherwise, the calendar for this mailbox could be corrupted. This could be fixed by moving the mailbox to another Exchange server, or exporting the calendar to a Personal Folder File (.PST), and re-importing this into a new calendar. 

Followed by 

Event ID 8207: Calendaring agent failed with error code 0x80040219 while deleting appointment.

and then event ID 8200: Calendaring agent failed in message delete notification with error 0x80040219 on : /Example folder/Staff/Room1/tom jones-280257926.EML.

There were a few instances of these but the script ran succesfully. After the script ran, I checked the replication settings on the public folders and system public folders and on both servers every folder was set to replicate to only the new Exchange 2010 MBX.

On the Exchange 2007 MBX, if I run : getpublicfolderstatistics -server ex2007mbx  I get :

Name                                     ItemCount               LastAccessTime
----                                     ---------               --------------
exchangeV1                               401                25/03/2015 21:33:24

If I run getpublicfolderstatistics -server ex2010mbx I get : 

The operation cannot be executed because there is no available public folder da
tabase on the server 'EX2010'. 

If I run the same commands on the EX2010 MBX, I get :

getpublicfolderstatistics -server ex2007mbx  I get :

Name                                     ItemCount               LastAccessTime
----                                     ---------               --------------
exchangeV1                               401                25/03/2015 21:33:24

getpublicfolderstatistics -server ex2010mbx :

The entire list of public folders including the exchangev1 folder with 401 items.

I have checked the permissions on the exchangev1 folder which is in system public folders>schema+root>Microsoft.

I have dismounted the public folder database on the EX2007MBX and I can access public folders ok. There are no errors and in the folders I have tried, I can add/ delete items.

Would anyone please be able to advise on the following:

1) What do I do about the EXCDO errors? They have not recurred since I ran the script and did not occur before I ran the script. What are the implications of the errors?

2)Running getpublicfolderstatistics -server ex2010mbx  on the Exchange 2007 MBX gives me: 

The operation cannot be executed because there is no available public folder da
tabase on the server 'EX2010'. 

However, the public folders do seem to appear on the EX2010MBX. Is this because EX2007 cannot see the 2010 database?

3)How do I move the last folder on EX2007MBX: Exchangev1?

Thanks very much,

HA.

Confused about applying Rollup or applying the recommendation of the KB article ?

Hi,

I'm having some issue with a specific group of users in a certain mailbox database cannot access their email using the Desktop Outlook 2010 intermittently.

The fix was to reboot the whole mailbox server which is resolving the problem temporarily until it happens again.

I'm using Riverbed WAN optimizer device in my Data Center hence I got into this issue as per this KB article: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2878175

But when reading this SP3 RU3 https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2891587 it says that it is resolved.

  • 2878175 Client Access server crashes when you use Outlook with a Riverbed WAN optimizer in an Exchange Server 2010 environment.

now I wonder which one should I apply or follow ?


Here's the deployment topology:

All of theExchange Servers is on 2010 SP3:

HT/CAS: Windows NLB
PRODHTCAS01-VM
PRODHTCAS02-VM

Mailbox: No DAG just stand alone servers.
PRODMBX01-VM

Hi all

We have an external sender who received a "Message rejected due to content restrictions" when sending to one of our users. I have checked our Exchange setup, and when I check the "Anti-spam" tab under "Hub Transport" "Content Filtering" is set to "Disabled".

How can we get a "550 5.7.1 Message rejected due to content restrictions" when we have no content filtering enabled?

Migrating from Exchange 2003

Hello!

I have a question regarding ISA Server 2006.  Currently, we have Exchange 2003 and we are proceeding with upgrading to Exchange 2010 sp 2, primarily because of the Windows 2003 EOL.  We have two ISA servers and they are both on Windows 2003.  From what I have read, ISA server 2006 can co-exist with Exchange 2010.  Is this correct?  Or will I need to replace the two ISA boxes with Edge Transport boxes?

Thank you!

P.S.  I have only worked with Exchange 2000 and 2010, but this is the first time I have worked in an environment with 2003.  :)


Exchange 2010 failed install on a Windows 2008 R2 server

With a fresh Windows 2008 R2 server joined to a company domain I was installing the Exchange 2010 server.

- 2 of 3 roles completed and the last role failed.
- This role was the mailbox role. Now I can't get the server to install this last role :(
- I found one thing wrong in my setup. RPC was being blocked by Symantec AV. This is not the case any more.
- I haven't tried to disable AV and FW on both servers, but this is something I will try on Friday 30.th.

Has anyone experienced some of ties errors before??

Understanding PAL output to fix Outlook "frozen state" problems

$

Masters,

 First of all

 We have an intel modular server, with two host. Every host contain some virtual os  - vmware -

 At this time we talkin' about an SBS 2011 server and one Windows Server 2008 as Terminal server.

 Parameters:

  - On this terminal server we have 30 users approximatly (we have 45 user/mailbox on SBS)
  - SBS and TS has:Intel Xeon E5620/4proc, 32GB memory
  - Outlook set as Online mode
  - Servers and users on same LAN

 Users sometimes reporting the Outlook not response - Outlook trying to retreive data from exchange server....

  - So we checked the e-mails / folder
  - Checked the users
  - We have automatic archiving so exhchange contain only a few month of e-mails.

 At now, we get some information from exhcange performance counters, and used PAL to understand what happend....

 What i would like to ask to take a look at our PAL output and say something 'coz we don't understand:

  - if we any problem with "yellow" or just an alert.
  - if the "red" lines can cause any problem with outlook
  - what mean if "No Thresholds" / "Stats only"

      - i don't know which one we could use:PAL analisys or Exchange 2010 counters and thresolds.XLS (there is an excel table on internet and the excel contains some counters with thresolds number which not included in PAL)

Thank you for any suggestion

I created a free website, to upload the PAL output, because i have no idea how to share with you...

hi. there was a problem this morning with one of my hub transport servers this morning. the information store service was disabled and the db was dismounted. i looked at the other servers in the org and shows that the information store service was enabled but set to delayed start. i then restarted the affected exch box, set the information store service to automatic delayed start, then mounted the drive. event id - 3154 came up when looking at the eviewer. can someone tell me what might have caused this to happen?

PS: Need a Switch to Include OUs in Get-Mailbox String

Hello--

I'm using this string in Exchange 2010 (Powershell) to export our mailbox details.

The command string works great and is exactly what I need, except, I want to include the OU that the mailbox is in in the outputted file.

Here is the string I'm using. Can you tell me what the switch would be to include each mailbox OU and where in the below string I would list it?

Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "MBDB" | Select DisplayName, TotalItemSize | Sort-Object TotalItemSize -Descending | Export-CSV C:\MBDB.csv

I tried a couple switches I got online, and they just keep throwing errors.

Many thanks!

Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase Failed

Running Exchange 2010. I have a database copy between DB7 and DB8. I needed to reboot DB8 so I moved the active DB to DB7. It moved successfully. I rebooted the server with DB8. The server came back up and I tried to move the database back and got the following:

An Active Manager operation failed. Error: The database action failed. Error: An error occurred while trying to validate the specified database copy for possible activation. Error: Database copy 'MailDB8' on server 'MBX02' has content index catalog files in the following state: 'Failed'.. [Database: MailDB8, Server: MBX01

So basically, MBX01 currently is hosting both databases. Obviously I want to move DB8 back to it's original server. It's been stuck on crawling for about 14 hours now. The database is about 1TB. Any advice on how to resolve this issue?

Wrong Time Zone on server -Ned to change? Impact?

Hi,

We have several exchange servers in different regions , some spanning users in several time zones, all is working fine as I believe everything in exchange is list as UTC plus or minus and its only the clients that stamp things as sent or received as local time..

We have noticed that one of the servers has the time zone and region settings of head office rather than its own location, whereas all others have local time.

Can we just change it? Should we leave well alone?

Thanks


Exchange 2010 services all fail to start

My Exchange server 2010 R2 SP1 Enterprise single server is down.  All exchange services fail to start.  It appears like the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service isn't starting which is a dependency for all other services.
The error I get when trying to start this service is:
Windows could not start the Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology on Local Computer.  For more information, review the System Event Log.  If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -2147024882

To make matters worse, the event viewer is not starting either.
When trying to start the Windows Event Log, I get the error:
Windows could not start the Windows Event Log service on Local Computer. Displays Error code 5

This is running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard box.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Exchange 2010 namespace question

Hey guys,

We are running Exchange 2010 with active/active datacenters.  One forest, 2 AD sites.   There are two servers in each location with a Kemp VM load balancer in each location.   We have a single DAG stretched across the WAN for disaster recovery.   Currently we have 2 namespaces, 1 for each site, for outlook, OWA and ActiveSync.   We would like to know if we can use a single namespace, and have Exchange send the client to the CAS server in the correct site.    I was just reading up on Autodiscover Site Scope and thought that might do it. 

Has anyone has done anything like this before or maybe if it can’t be done in Exchange 2010, I'm not sure.  Thanks for the help.

By direct book I mean: User opens up the conference room calender in Outlook and books a meeting directly into it.  So when someone views the details of the meeting in the room calendar all they see in the schedule assistant is the room name.
