Hi,

We're using exchange 2010. I have a server on a separate subnet from my exchange server that will be sending emails through a receive connector to internal email address. We want to make sure that it cannot send email externally. I don't see a way to set up a transport rule that will block based on IP address - only from email address or a distribution group. 

Is there a way to set this up in Exchange 2010?

Based on the logs I think missing some of the installer files from previous updates, however even after re-downloading the updates, and renaming them to match still the errors persist. Yes, the log truncates abnormally.. that's not a paste error.

I am trying to do bulk imports of .psts since we have many mailboxes to import mail to and doing them in batches.

We have to import without Deleted Items, Calendars and Contacts for all the mailboxes.

The command I am using seems to not work when doing it in bulk though. 

I've also tried this using "/*" after each exclude folder, but I'm beginning to think these switches cannot be used in bulk?

Does anyone know of a tool or a way to add a possiblity to Exchange 2010 to have Hardfailed SPF checks send to a quarantine mailbox? Sophos Puremessage for Exchange does not include SPF checking so I can only use Exchange itself. But hardfail has actions StampStatus, Reject or Fail. 

We would like to quarantine them to a mailbox. 

Do other Exchange versions have improvements? 

TIA,

Fred

Hello,

I have an Exchange Server 2010 SP3 that had hardware failure a month ago. We were able to bring back from the backup and get it operational again. We have about 250 Outlook 2016 computers.

Ever since we were able to restore the server, everytime we reboot, the Outlook profiles give out the following error:

Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. Microsoft Exchange Information service in your profile is missing the required information. Modify your profile to ensure that you are using the correct Microsoft Exchange information service.

Then I delete the current profile, create a new one, and the users are able to log in to Outlook.

No issues on OWA or mobile.

I have weeded out all of the Event Viewer errors, and corrected them. But nothing seems to fix this.

Has anyone faced this before?

We have 4 Meeting Room and 2 of the Meeting Room has Projector permanently fixed. The 4 Meeting Room booking are fully automated using exchange 2010 Room Resource Mailbox. Projector Booking is not automated. It is managed using two delegated Equipment Resource Mailbox. We looking at a way to link these Projector Equipment Mailboxes to their respective Meeting Room Mailboxes so that when they request for the Meeting Room the request for projectors are also send. Currently users have to separately choose room and projector. Since these projectors are fixed in 2 meeting rooms, sometime user request for these projector without having the right room.<o:p></o:p>

How can I associate the Equipment Mailboxes to these two specific Meeting Room Mailboxes so that choosing the room also send request for projectors?<o:p></o:p>

I've encountered some problems sending to some (Comcast and Google) domains since the change to make IPv6 preferred. My ISP does not provide IPv6 internet service. While I have fixed the transport problems (via an ISATAP tunnel), all is not yet well.

I am now receiving an email notification indicating: No SMTP server defined. Use real server address instead of 127.0.0.1 in your account.

I have confirmed from the Exchange Protocol logs that the SMTP session has been established to the indicated IPv6 address for the destination mail server. The error message originates from that end. I also notice that my send address is ::1 in the log, and that it is 127.0.0.1 for logged IPv4 traffic.

I have read that Comcast and Google are doing sender address verification for IPv6 addresses. I can attest that verification is not performed for IPv4 addresses, since I am able to send.

Here are the problems:

1) The Prefer IPv4 EasyFix and registry setting appears to do nothing on Server 2008 R2. Exchange 2010 is consistently selecting the IPv6 destination address after looking up the mail servers.

2) I can find no way to configure the Send Connector address on Exchange 2010. I can find no references to the loopback interface with the Exchange Management console. I do find a reference to a 'SourceIPaddress' using the Get-SendConnector shell command, but the documentation indicates (and I have verified that) it is only used on Edge Servers and ignored on the Transport server. This is a Small Business Server (Everything is on one machine; it sends from the Transport Server.), so the loopback would be one path to the Send Connector. 

Can anyone provide information on how my Send Connector (or the sender address in the SMTP stream) address is currently and may be configured for Exchange Server 2010?

I have also noticed that the netsh interface dns show state displays a parameterResolution Query Behavior with value 'Resolve only IPv6 addresses for names'. I assume that this parameter would show up underdnscache in the registry, but since the parameter is defaulted (and is not present) I have no idea how it is named and can find no indication what it really does. Am hoping that this might be a substitute for thePrefer IPv4 registry setting since I only need to keep Exchange from translating destinations to IPv6. Any thoughts? Seems better than disabling IPv6 altogether.

Remember the issue back in 2012-2013 where devices using IOS 6.1 would rapidly fill Exchange Server logs?

Like Poltergeist, they're back.

Upgraded two iPhones and an iPad yesterday to IOS 13.1 and IPadOS 13.1. Suddenly the Exchange log files filled up within 3 hours, where they never fill up during the course of a day. We run a Veeam backup each evening which also resets the logs, but they're now filling up within hours before the evening's backup can run.

Short of denying our Apple users of syncing with the Exchange Server (not an option), what else can we do?

Hi,

I have started new job with an organization where Exchange 2010 is currently deployed. Back in year 2016 they started migration to Office 365 from Exchange 2010 (even migrated some mailboxes) but due to some government regulatory issues they did not complete migration and reverted back to exchange 2010.

now Govt has allowed to migrate to office 365 and organization is migrating to office 365. we have 2 mailbox and 2 CAS/HUB servers. we updated the servers to latest SP3 and RUs 29. but when we run Hybrid Configuration Wizard it picks up old RU (RU25) and wizard fails. 

I have removed ADSI entry of an old server(I think it was used in year 2016) for Hybrid configuration but was forcefully remove. but not in proper way). 

my query is that how can I check if there is an old entry or anything which is causing issue while running HCW(Hybrid Configuration Wizard) and error shows "HCW8082- You must run the Hybrid Configuration Wizard from Exchange server with latest major version"

please guide.

Regards

Sajid

hi all

I figured out that some clients are accessing through IMAP by outlok office,the problem that Imap doesn't log sent message in sent folder .

is there a command that let me know how many clients are connecting through IMAP ,and a command that make their sent emails logged to the sent folder 

I will disable the IMAP service but before that I want to log the sent messages to the sent folder ,can I do that from the server or the only way to this is instructing the user to import their messages using import pst in outlook .

Note : I know that from IMAP log i can know the users that use Imap butI have to check all the logs of imap because not all users log in daily basis 

I run exchange 2010 sP1 which I'm going to update it to service pack 3 

Hello,
We have Exchange 2010 SP1 (update rollup 6 applied)

I have a question about whitespace in Exchange DB. If I move a mailbox to another mailbox database, original DB does not shrink.
Is there a way to reclaim that space?

I have seen postings where following two options are mentioned:
1) take DB offline and run emctl command
2) create another mailbox DB and move mailboxes to the new DB.

What other options are there besides these two?

Is there a way to reclaim the white space with maintenance schedule?
I saw this article about viewing DB defragmentation tasks by performance counters, but not sure how to access these? Is this accessed from EMC or EMS?http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691410.aspx

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've got an issue in my Exchange environment when users outside of Citrix try to open Outlook 2010 sometimes they can't reach the servers, it says the server is unavailable, the workaround for this issue is to log in OWA and immediately after open Outlook 2010 again.

Is there something we can do so we don't need to rely on the workaround? You know the users for sure are going to complain.

Thanks in advance.

I had an exchange 2012 server go down inflames with no backup "Of corse".

We reinstalled a new server but used a different name. Issue came up so it was uninstalled. In this action a tech removed the two containers fron AD in attempt to

clean up. Now we are running into issues with AD. I have re run "setup /ps"  then "setup /p"  Below is the error. Can I just re create these containers manualy?
