Managed Folder Assistant - no logging, failing for specific user

$
0
0

I am having trouble with a specific user whose archiving folder rule is not working. She has configured Deleted Items to archive after 1 year but nothing is actually being moved to her archive folder, this is the only user I am aware of that is failing (my archiving rules are working fine, for example). 

I have nowhere to go on this problem as no logging is available. I can for the managed folder assistant to run on the users mailbox but it does nothing. I have enabled logging via the following commands:

set-mailboxserver -identity ####### -FolderLogForManagedFoldersEnabled $true
set-mailboxserver -identity ####### -logpathformanagedfolders "C:\Program Files\Exchange\Logging\ManagedFolderAssistant"

The above was ran against the server the user is hosted on, and the folder mentioned above was created. However when Start-ManagedFolderAssistant <USERNAME>is run nothing is logged, no logs are created, the folder remains empty.

Im frustrated because I cannot troubleshoot because there are no logs, no events, nothing. It just doesn't work. Is there something wrong with the logging configuration I specified that would cause it to not output any logs? Is there anywhere else I can look for logging information on why this mailbox is not archiving properly? Thanks in advance.


Can I add a MailContact as Resource?

$
0
0

Might be a silly question. What I want to achieve is that a resource mailbox (Room) on one Exchange server (A) is available as well as Room resource on another Exchange Server (B). Both servers are connected with Federation, so calendar sharing between users is working fine.

On an Exchange 2010 server (A), if I check with Get-Mailbox on a room resource, I get the attributes

RecipientType                          : UserMailbox
RecipientTypeDetails                : RoomMailbox

Is this the reasons why it is then listed in the GAL as room resource? So that in Outlook I can select it as Room?

Next, on another Exchange 2010 server (B) which is connected to the one above with Federation I have added the room resource as MailContact. When I check with Get-MailContact, I get the attributes

RecipientType                          : MailContact
RecipientTypeDetails                   : MailContact

Would changing RecipientTypeDetails into RoomMailbox allow an Outlook user to see this contact now as room resource? If yes, how can that attribute be changed? 

If this is the wrong approach, how could I add a room resource of server A to be accessed as room resource for users on server B?

Again, Federation/Calendar Sharing is working perbectly between the two Exchange 2010 servers. I am just looking to optimize the Resource Scheduling experience of the users. At the moment, on server B, they have to add the room resource as another normal invitee to meeting requests. This works, but is not logical.

Thanks

Delivery Reports

I have a user who says they are not getting an email from someone outside the company.  I ran a delivery report and do not see anything.  How far back does this go?  I tested this with my account and tried to get a delivery report from someone outside my network (I received the email 5/14/2013 and is in my inbox) and it comes up blank as well.  Am I doing something wrong?

Exchange 2010 CAS reboot Outlook prompt password

We have 2 Exchange 2010 SP2 with RU6 CAS array by using NLB.

Most of our Outlook Client are using Online Mode, I have setup the Kerberso auth for mapi by following

http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/04/15/recommendation-enabling-kerberos-authentication-for-mapi-clients.aspx

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff808312(v=exchg.141).aspx

And I think my setup are ready for Kerberso auth because If i set the outlook have to use kerberso auth can also login the outlook.

(anything I need to check?,  if i use setspn -l CASArray, i can list the following record

  • http Use this SPN for Exchange Web Services, Offline Address Book downloads, and the Autodiscover service.
  • exchangeMDB Use this SPN for RPC Client Access service.
  • exchangeRFR Use this SPN for the Address Book service.
  • exchangeAB Use this SPN for the Address Book service

But If I reboot 1 of the CAS server, some outlook client still prompt password to auth again

I also saw this but didnt try yet, btenney said have to stop the service "'Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access" before restart the server

External Auto-Reply for Public Folders Exchange 2010

Hello,

I was able to create an auto reply on a public folder. However, I don't want internal domain users or Exchange users to receive this auto reply. I just want external users and the folder assistant doesn't have anything to only send to external users only. 

The auto-reply is working but for both internal and external users. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thank you.

white list best practice

exchange 2010 and outlook 2007-2010

So I know there is a way to white list in Exchange and I know there are adm templates to help use a whitelist text file in outlook.

I'm wondering whats the best method? Does the adm clear existing entries; does the exchange method have anything to do with the outlook method.

our internal name domain.local is already in there but I'd like to add our external public name public.com to insure they are not being sent to outlook junk mail

thanks

Room Calendar sharing with External Users

Here is the scenario:

We have a company that would like to share free/busy information for their room calendars with external users. They would also like for those users to be able to schedule their own meetings. Obviously, they should not be able to edit/delete other user's meetings. Is this possible? Would it be better to just do a google calendar?

I'd appreciate any help or insight!

OAB issue?

$

Hi All,

Our helpdesk created a few users on Fri.

I checked today and those users are not appearing on GAL in Outlook that is i cached mode (online mode and OWA works fine).

So i checked OAB folder on MBX server and sure enough the last time stamp is today

I checked both CAS servers and timestamp on CAS's is OAB folder is today as well

I took autodiscover link for OAB and pluged that into my browser and sure enough can see xml output.

Don't see anything on evt. logs. It's both Outlook 2003 and 2010. I checked Public folder Rep. for 2003 OAB and no issues there.

If i take one of those clients and put it in online mode the address will show.

I know that OAB updates occur at midnight but it's been 2 days.

Any ideas?

I only have one Default OAB policy

Outlook 2010/Exchange 2010 sp2 Autodiscover Error

Am getting the following error when testing autoconfiguration in Outlook 2010.  I started checking this because we are receiving errors when trying to set the Out Of Office Assistant.  This is all inside the LAN, no firewall is in play.  Client is Outlook 2010, mailbox is on Exchange 2010, sp2.  I am able to correctly resolve the name autodiscover.domain.com.  If I manually browse tohttps://autodiscover.oblon.com, I am redirected to Outlook Web Access.  If I manually browse tohttps://mail.domain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml, I get the 403 Forbidden.  Any idea which settings I should be examining in Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell or even IIS?  I'm stumped!  Many thanks in advance.

Maximum size of archive database & journal mailbox / journalling database

$
0
0

Hi

I have a sort of weird requirement from a client who wants to use Exchange for archiving (holding a lot of historical data in archive mailboxes separated in their own separate database(s)) and journalling. They do not want to use a 3rd party solution or a cloud service which would have been a better solution. I was OK with their requirement until I learned the amounts of data we were dealing with and got increasingly uncomfortable about Exchange being up to the task.

Archiving

They want to ingest roughly 5TB of data that is currently in PST files into archive mailboxes of about 1400 users. They also want the archiving database(s) to support up to 10TB data as exchange archiving policies will push more and more email into the archive mailboxes with time.

I initially intended to give them a database dedicated for archive mailboxes, but with 5TB of data ingestion at the outset we are already going above the maximum recommended 2TB limit for a database, so it seems we'll have to create up to 5 databases to allow 10TB storage in the archive. This just makes me uncomfortable! Can people who have had more experience with this please advise all the things that are wrong with this implementation or if it sounds completely acceptable as long as I keep the database sizes under 2TB? (we will have DAG replication and multiple copies so using the 2TB limit)

Journalling

This is the worst of the two requirements. They want to set up journalling to a mailbox. The problem with this is that they are a busy corporate environment generating roughly 1TB of email every 3 months. They want the journalling solution to allow up to 2 years of journalling before they even look at an alternate solution.

This makes me VERY uncomfortable; RAT IN THE BELLY FELLING! I have two main concerns with this.

  1. I don't think Exchange scales very well to such extortionate mailbox sizes. Clearly the journalling mailbox will need to be changed every now and then. I was thinking we could have one journalling mailbox for every quarter but even in a single quarter they would generate a terabyte of emails and that is still TOO large for a single mailbox. How large can a mailbox really get without presenting issues? How large is too large for an Exchange 2010 journalling mailbox?
  2. As journalling mailboxes get large, it will mean slower searching and if we have too many of these mailboxes for different periods, any discovery / searches will need to include multiple mailboxes and I'm not clear on what the best way to do that would be. I have a feeling it will not be easy and I would like your views on this.

The version of Exchange we are working with is Exchange 2010 SP3. I would much appreciate all help I can get with this.

Thanks

Nauman.

Managing Public Folder with Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 Migration

Hello,

I am busy with a Migration of Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. Exchange 2003 Backend is on two servers located at 2 different physical sites across a WAN. Both have Public Folders and replication configured

I have installed 3 Exchange 2010 Mailbox Role within thesame Exchange Organization, each with a created Public Folder Database in one of the sites ( after which I ran the EMS commandlet "AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1" against each 2010 Mailbox Server). RoutingGroup Connector Already created between the Exchange 2k3 and Exchange 2k10 Routing Groups

The issue now is that Public Folder Replication just keep filling up the Que on the the Exchange 2003 Server and delays important messages from getting delivered during business hours

How can I control this behaviour

Thanks

Self moderation of messages in Exchange 2010 using transport rules

$
0
0

Exchange 2010 allows using transport rules to moderate messages so any messages that meet a certain condition need to be approved by either a pre-specified address or the manager of the sender, depending on which rule action is chosen.

A client has a rather odd requirement where they want the senders of emails matching a certain condition to approve their emails themselves. An example of this is John sending an email that matches the rule condition, the email being stopped from going out and awaiting John's approval to be released and sent out. I understand this is to stop some people from inadvertently copying certain sensitive recipients into some emails.

Is this self release or self moderation possible at all in Exchange 2010 or do we have to stick with moderation by a fixed address or the manager of the sender?

Thanks

SBS 2011 - Exchange 2010

1) Even though it is not causing problem, I wonder why Distribution Group in Exchange contains Security Group that was setup in Active Directory?

2) Trying to add a member to the Distribution Group in Exchange but got an error "You don't have sufficient permisisons. This operation can only be performed by a manager of the group'

But I could add a member with Active Directory.

I want to have a 2 Exchange server, 1 with mailbox role and the other is with HUB Transport as bridgehead. If my bridgehead receives a destination email of distro1@limdynasty.com - a distribution list in my mailbox from my non exchange mail server, lets say zimbra, will HUB send this info to my mailbox? or will the HUB just query the mailbox through its native mapi and send the information through its send connector information
