Exchange Server 2010 SP3 test environment - email flow to/from internet

$
0
0

Today I set up test environment for Exchange Server 2010 SP3 - domain controller running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Exchange Server 2010 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and client computer running Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 with Outlook Pro 2010 x64. These machines are VMs on vSphere 5.0 cluster made of 4 esxi 5.0 hosts.

I have three years of experience in working with Exchange Server 2010 in my production environment but until recently I have not had enough resources to build a test environment. Does "testing" Exchange Server 2010 infrastructure have a real life purpose considering the fact that only internal email flow is possible since authoritative SMTP accepted domain is not hosted anywhere thus not visible to outside world. This limited email flow combined with absence of possibility to test ActiveSync, Outlook Anywhere, OWA from WAN, . . . really hurt and make Exchange Server rare technology that can not be tested completely before introducing something new into the production. Services that are not possible to test from the outside world are useless and whole point of Exchange-like technologies is availability from anywhere and from whatever device.

Configuring SMTP Relay Restrictions

$
0
0

Hi,

As i know in Exchange server 2003 For a user or computer to relay e-mail messages through an SMTP virtual server, the following two conditions must be met:

  • The user or computer can access the SMTP virtual server. (Connection control)
  • The SMTP virtual server is configured to relay e-mail messages to other domains. (Relay restriction)

my question is: in Exchange 2010 there is only relay restriction, what about connection control? how to manage users or computers who can access the smtp?

thanks,


Cannot forward or reply mails which have old disclaimer

Hi,

     We have exchange server 2010 with 2 HUB/CAS and 2 Mailbox servers. Service pack 3 is installed on all servers. Mail signature is configured by using Exchange Transport rule and images are tagged by using IMG tag in the HTML disclaimer. Website has been recently updated and new disclaimer created accordingly to update the images in the disclaimer. New disclaimer is working fine. But outlook get hangs when we try to reply or forward old emails which has old disclaimer as it will try to retrieve the images from the website which doesn't exist anymore. Is there anyway to get rid of this issue or can we delete the disclaimer on old emails by running some commands in the exchange management shell?


With Regards, Emthias Abdulsalam

Hello,

My problem is that I was creating a transports rule to prevent the users from receiving mails from external domains except those which I authorize but now the list of exceptions has grown bigger and when a tried to add another domain it gives me an error saying that the property name is too long (8192) in other words 8KB that is the default, how can I modify this values to 16KB?

Any ideas anyone?


Thank you for your time...

Moderation via Transport Rule and multiple Arbitration mailboxes

$
0
0

Hello,

when using moderation using a Transport Rules (Transport Rule Action "forward the message to addresses for moderation") it is possible to moderate messages sent to recipients outside the exchange organization (Transport Rule Predicate "Sent to Users Outside The Organization"). This all works perfect so far using a single arbitration mailbox.

Now I would like to add additional arbitration mailboxes for load balancing purposes. As far as I understand, different arbitration mailboxes can configured on the recipients objects which are moderated using the set-<MailEnabledObject>-ArbitrationMailbox 'XYZ'

Now, for the described case above where the recipients are external (internet) and not available within the directory, is there a way to use multiple moderation mailboxes anyway and if yes, how ?

Any feedback welcome. Thanks in advance

Litigation Hold - Removal & Backup ?

Hello All;

We have 3 users that we are removing the litigation hold as the legal process is complete. BEFORE we remove the litigation hold, we want to cover all our bases.

We want to make a backup PST file of the user(s) in litigation hold. My understanding is that if i remove the Litigation hold, this would result in the system cleaning up deleted items & etc.
We need to keep ALL items.

How do I process backing up the users PST after the litigation hold has been removed ?

Thank You

Exchange 2010 SP2

We use multiple ABPs for different OUs (which is different subordinates).

I found strange error in ONE subordinate.

Users in there? when they try to access an entry in Group list receive an error:

"Access is denied."

" ! The Active Directory resource couldn't be accessed. This may be because the Active Directory object doesn't exist or the object has become corrupted, or because you don't have the correct permissions. "

Any ideas?

Hello.

At now i migrated OWA client from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and faced with a problem.

I want to then external client (somebody like user from home PC) connect to Outlook Web App, client certificate will be required.

But then client connect (somebody from work PC) to internal Outlook Web App Url, Integrate Windows Auth will be used and client ssl certificate not required.

Is it possible? Or i need to enable Outlook Anywhere?


Problems with OWA

$

We recently started having an issue with Exchange 2010 OWA (with all service packs and updates installed).

We can log in to OWA and browse the email but nothing else.

I can't expand folder - just get refreshing view.

I can click on calendars and contacts but this freezes OWA and I have to use F5 to refresh the page which brings me back to my inbox.

If I try to empty deleted items I get a message invalid response from the server and the box does not get emptied.

If it try clicking on options nothing happens.

I can't send email either.  When I click send nothing happens.

I have tried making sure the server was up to date and rebooting it.

Checked for corruption in the database

Reset the following virtual directories owa and ews and then did an iireset.

When these issues happen I dont see any corresponding error or warning messages in the event log.

Not sure where to go from here.


Free/busy sharing using Exchange federation

We run Exchange 2010 and one of our business partners is running in Office 365. We would like to share free busy across our two organizations. Is it setup feasible,

1. We setup a federation trust with the MFG.

2. We setup an org relationship with them, they setup a org relationship with us with appropriate free busy parameters.

Most of the documentation I see is about a hybrid setup for the SAME organization. Here we are two completely separate organizations. Any documentation/links to real-world implementation would be much appreciated.

Communications couldn't be established with the server hosting the active copy of this database. Log shipping is currently stopped for this database copy.

After a reboot, all my replica databases entered into "Disconnected and Resynchronizing" status.

I created a new empty database into this DAG and the copy became in the same status. 

I deleted all replica databases, removed the server from the DAG, added it again into DAG and created a new database. WHen I added a database copy, it entered in the same status. 

All operations I try to do (update database, add a copy, etc) e brings the same error "Error: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."

The network configuratiom seems to be OK, there are no firewall between the servers, windows firewall is disabled in the control panel and they can ping each other successfully. 

follow some error messages:

Anti-Spam Filter Updates when Anti-Spam not Installed...

$

Hi guys!

I have Exchange 2010 installed with all updates. It's installed in a Hub Transport configuration. Some time ago I un-installed the anti-spam agents by running the script file in the scripts folder. The server has been re-started since.

Thing is, I still see Windows Updates coming in for anti-spam filter updates. Why are these still being downloaded when anti-spam has been removed from the server?

Did I miss something?


Q: Marking a question as answered when it's not - is this something new? A: Not at all, it's standard Nick Gu!

<#
.SYNOPSIS
Retrieves all permissions a mailbox has access to in the Organizational Unit 'domain/Accounts/Shared'.
.DESCRIPTION
This script will query all Mailbox permissions and Active Directory permissions a mailbox has on another mailbox.
Active Directory such as 'Send-As'.
.PARAMETER User
The Display Name, Email address, GUID, Alias.
.EXAMPLE
.\ListAllMailboxesAUserHasAccessTo -User 'JSmith'
This example will retrieve all mailboxes that Jsmith has full access to.
#>

param(
     [String]$User

)
Get-Mailbox -resultsize Unlimited -RecipientTypeDetails sharedmailbox  |Get-MailboxPermission |
Where-Object {($_.AccessRights -eq "FullAccess") -and ($_.User -like $User) -and ($_.IsInherited -eq $false) -and ($_.User -notlike 'NT Authority\Self')} |
Format-Table Identity -Verbose

This works only if I put user as "domain\userid. How can I just put the DN,Alias,UPN in the $user parameter?

Thanks,

Outlook 2010 - Move to public folder brings an error "the folder is not available"

$

Hi

we have exchange 2010 SP3 in our organization

clients use both 2010 SP2 \ 2013 outlooks

when moving an item from the mailbox to a public folder directory the item moves successfully, and the directory is added to the recent directories under the "Move" button.

then, when I try to move another item to a public folder directory from the dropdown recent list I get the error message:

"The folder is not available"

obviously it's available as I can do the same action manually. it happens on Outlook 2010, Outlook 2010 SP2 and Outlook 2013for all the usersso it's not a profile or a user's issue

I saw many posts with the same error but they mostly talk about pst files and the solution is the kb2405793‎ which is already included in SP2 + out users don't use pst. everything is in exchange

hope to get some answers before I open support case at MS

the folder is not available
