Tracking log explorer What is blocking the email

$
0
0

I am looking at the Message Tracking Results in Exchange 2010 Tracking Log Explorer and I see two emails that were not delivered.

One of the emails shows the following:
Source: SMTP
SourceContent: Content Filter Agent

The other email shows the following:
Source: Agent
SourceContext: McAfeeTxRouting

I am running McAfee Security for Microsoft Exchange.

My question is what is blocking each of these emails.
Are both being blocked by the Exchange Filter or is one being blocked by McAfee Security for Microsoft Exchange?

Thanks

Any new surprise features in Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollups?

$
0
0
I am currently updating my Exchange 2010 Servers from SP2 UR6 to SP3 UR7.  I remember there was a new feature in SP2 UR4 that introduced Calendar and Tasks items retention policy changes that could delete these items if you didn't set the ELCAssistantCalendarTaskRetentionEnabled registry setting if you were using retention policies.  This change can cause big problems if you didn't know about it.  Are there any "new features" in any of the SP3 Update Rollups that I need to be aware of that may delete mailbox items or have any other different effect that users may not like?

Dynamic Distribution Group via csv file and Recipient Filter

Hello,

I am trying to create powershell command that will read a CSV file for "Name" and "Dept" and create a Dynamic Distribution Group based on the following Recipient Filter.

Import-CSV Dist.csv | ForEach-Object {New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name $_.Name -RecipientFilter {((((((Department -like $_.Dept) -and (RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox'))) -and (UserAccountControl -ne 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount'))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')))}

I keep getting an error that "Missing closing '}" in statement block Char:314.  I added a "}" at the end of the command but then the command fails to read the .csv file.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated to determine what I am missing.  I have over 100 Dynamic Distribution list to create.

Cheers

Hello,

I have one single user who cannot see the free/buy info of any other user from his normal desktop PC using Outlook 2010.

If he uses Outlook Web App on the PC, it works perfectly.

And if he uses Outlook 2010 on another PC (on a different network sub-net), it works perfectly.

What network dependencies does the free/busy info have please?

Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2010.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I've been asked by a user, does the Exchange 2010 Calendar Repair Assistant repair old meetings? My guess is no, but I can't seem to find any supporting documentation either way. Thanks in advance!

Disaster Recovery / HA server role count question

$
0
0

We are currently working on a disaster recovery plan for our on-premise Exchange 2010 environment.  As of today, have a DR Office 365 site is not an option for us.  Our primary datacenter that houses our Exchange 2010 SP3 servers is setup as follows.

North America

4 servers (HUB/CAS)
1 CAS Array (F5 load balanced)

4 servers (mailbox)
1 DAG, public/private networks (2 nics)

2 servers (UM)

====================================

In our secondary datacenter we currently have built out 4 servers, OS Only.  My question is which roles should I place on these servers so that we don't take down our production environment if the secondary site goes offline.  The secondary site may go down from time to time for testing and I don't want our production databases to unmount because of quorum and failed votes.

I was thinking installing HUB/CAS/MB on all 4 and UM on only 1 of them.  Does this work?  I have read through some technet articles about the (n/2) + 1 rule, but need a little more assurance.  Thanks everyone!

New-MailboxExportRequest -ContentFilter Issues

$
0
0

Hello,

Recently I've been working with the ContentFilter switch with the New-MailboxExportRequest command (part of Exchange Management Shell).  The command seems to work on a very basic level and even properly if the filter user the "All" parameter.  The problem comes in when using either "To" or "Sender" parameters within the ContentFilter where everything ends up getting excluded.  I've seem several people refer to this issue, but never a solution.  Is this a bug in Exchange 2010 SP3?

Just for reference, my syntax is:

New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox 'somebody@somewhere.com' -ContentFilter {Sender -eq 'someoneelse@somewhere.com'} -FilePath 'Valid UNC Path'

Most people seem to suggest using -like instead of -eq, but that doesn't seem to work and according to MS at http://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/ff601762%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx , this is not a valid operator for 'To' and 'Sender'.

Does anyone know of any workarounds to this that would get the same results?

Thanks.

An Active Directory error 0x51 occurred when trying to check the suitability of server

$

We have several exchange administrators and two exchange 2010 servers and one exchange 2007 server. I am getting the following error message when opening up Exchange Management Console on one of the exchange 2010 server. 

"An Active Directory error 0x51 occurred when trying to check the suitability of server 'dc101.domain.local'. Error: 'Active directory response: The LDAP server is unavailable.' 

dc101 does not exist anymore. I tried changing the Configuration Domain Controller by manually specify a domain controller but get the exact same error message and also gets an empty list when selecting the domain. Other administrators who logs into to the same server do not get this error message. 

If I open the exchange management console on another exchange server, it works without problem. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change to point it to the correct domain controller using power shell?

Exchange Message Tracking

I am really at a loss here.  I had a user send a email to two internal recipients and they both never received it.  We currently have exchange 2010 set up in a DAG with a mix of outlook 2010 and 2013 clients. I checked the message tracking logs and I don't see any evidence of that email even being sent, however the user that sent it has it in sent items with a date and time that he sent it.

Can anyone shed some light on this or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Hi Tried to you the command as above but just get that error as below. Both Mailbox servers have sp1 installed and that is the consoles that I am running on. I must be missing something really silly. Thanks

Default Receive Connector

Hi guys,

I realized that some of my users are sending out internal emails using the Default CASHUBSVR1 Receive Connector or Default CASHUBSVR2 Receive Connector. This is a concern as it is an open relay.

Is there anyway to lock down the Default Receive Connector or should disable them?

Thanks!!

Exchange 2010 EWS - app_global.asax-error.

Im setting up an Exchange Online deployment on a costumers server enviroment. They have a single Exchange 2010 SP3 with Rollup 6 installed.

The users started complaining that they couldnt set out-of-office messages in Outlook, and that they were prompted for Exchange password in Lync repeatedly.

Now, im not sure if these errors came because of the Hybrid setup of its a coincidence, but here is what Ive done:

I started the Hybrid Wizard, but this one got some errors, so it didnt complete on the first run. The error was the following:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2626696

and I ran

ServiceModelReg.exe –r

on the server to fix it. This solved this problem, but a new one occurred with publishing of Autodiscover and EWS online. I called it a day, and was busy the next day so this was left like this for a few days.

The next day a few users complained that they couldnt set out of office. The next day after that, the lync error occured (there was a reboot that night. Im not sure if thats relevat). The errors in the Hybrid-wizard had then been solved, and the Hybrid-wizard ran through, but the EWS-problem remained. 

Now, on the server I get this error every second or so:

Outlook Anywhere Certificate Warning

$
0
0

Hi,

I've setup Outlook Anywhere on exchange 2010 using an externally issued SSL cert. However even though as far as I can tell I have set the external and internal url to mail.domain.com when setting outlook up it is using the SERVERNAME and so throwing an error as the SERVERNAME is not on the cert.

How do I set it to use the URL and not the SERVERNAME.

Thanks


Multi site Exchange 2010 deployment. Failover and Autodiscover

$
0
0

I have made some significant changes to my Exchange environment that have me a little confused as to how to proceed.

A few months ago I upgraded from SP1 to SP3 UR5 and my previous strategy for DR stopped working.

Just to give a little background:

I have two sites connected with a 100Mb ethernet link that each have a dag member with a hub transport and two CAS servers.  These servers at each site are load balanced with a Kemp Technologies LM-2200 cluster.

Previous to the upgrade we were working in warm standby where a passive copy of the mailbox databases were being held in the second site but not being used until needed.  When needed we would change the load balancer to connect users to the second site or in the case of a site failure we would change DNS to point to the second site.  After the upgrade things changed and I could no longer do cross site RPC out of the box and when I enabled cross site RPC it still did not work like previous so I figured this would be a good opportunity to strengthen my setup and try to go for a more automatic failover design were each site gets its own namespace and the CAS servers can redirect users to the correct site based on the current state of the DAG.

This works great aside from the folks who are not connected to the domain to get SCP.  For instance I have activesync devices and OWA users on the outside.  If the primary site goes down before these devices make an attempt to connect they will not know that the site is down and their mailbox is now active in the secondary site.  The device will just fail to connect.

Is there any way to make autodiscover site resilient?  The only thing I can think of is using round robin DNS for autodiscover but that would likely cause some connection troubles if the site that is randomly resolved happens to be down.

Thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Nick

Set storage quota on multiple mailboxes using PowerShell?

$
0

I need to set storage quota limits on multiple mailboxes using PowerShell. I understand I can create a .csv file with aliases and pipe that into a cmdlet, eg.,

Import-CSV "C:\temp\alias.csv" | % {Set-Mailbox -identity $_.alias -IssueWarningQuota 900mb -ProhibitSendQuota 950mb -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 1gb -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false

Is there any other way of doing this with a much more robust script?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Enable single item recovery with two retention settings at the database level.

$

Hello All,

We have an Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4 environment and planning on moving from third party archives solution to Native Exchange archives for cost reduction purposes, upgrading to Exchange 2013 to benefit from added in place features is not within scope at this stage.

We are looking at implementing the following steps and want to know if it will work:

1-Create archive DB(s) as per our usage and growth projections

2-Enable archives for all our users and migrate current archive content to it.

3-Create Retention Tag/Policy to move all records from live to archive "Age limit for retention" 90 days (no retention tags on the policy)

4-Enable Single Item recovery for all of our users (script the same to run twice daily to enable SIR for newly created accounts)

5-Set the "Keep Deleted Items" on the Live DB(s) to 90 days and the Archive DB(s) to 7 Years

6-We are NOT using Legal Hold or plan to use it except on per as need basis

Are we accomplishing the following:

1-Items are automatically archived after 90 days

2-Items archived now have a 7year retention based on the "keep deleted items" set for the archive DB(s)

3-Items copied back to the live mailbox by a user will be returned to the archive database the next time the folder assistant runs against this user account (based on load or if run manually)

4-Hard deleted items by a user is recoverable as long as the email record is within the retention period set at the database where it resides.

5-Hard deleted items are recoverable using MFCMapi or by a restore.

6-Items are permanently purged on the archive DB(s) after 7 years.

Any input, ideas, recommendations, clarifications would be greatly valued and appreciated.

Transport Agent Configuration

$

0

We've been looking into our Exchange 2010 configuration to troubleshoot some delivery problems. Something we recently found is that both of our hub servers have different transport agents installed. 

Server 1 has:

Identity                                           Enabled         Priority
--------                                           -------         --------
Connection Filtering Agent                         True            1
Transport Rule Agent                               True            2
Text Messaging Routing Agent                       True            3
Text Messaging Delivery Agent                      True            4
FSE Routing Agent                                  True            5
Sender Id Agent                                    True            6
Sender Filter Agent                                True            7
Recipient Filter Agent                             True            8

Server 2 has:

Identity                                           Enabled         Priority
--------                                           -------         --------
Transport Rule Agent                               True            1
Text Messaging Routing Agent                       True            2
Text Messaging Delivery Agent                      True            3
FSE Routing Agent                                  True            4

Should both hub servers have the same exactly transport agents installed? If so, should I run the script ReinstallDefaultTransportAgents.PS1 on server 2? Also I can't seem to find description of what each agent is and does. I'd like to make sure that there aren't any unnecessary ones enabled. Does anyone know of a write-up about the transport agents?
