Hi
I have enabled read tracking of all messages in my organisation.
Set-OrganizationConfig–ReadTrackingEnabled:$True
I am getting status of message is read or unread in delivery report of that mail.
But i have to take report for all users(around 800Users)...
Is there any way to achieve this in scripting...
We are in the process of restoring an Exchange CAS/HUB in our production environment. As part of the process, we intentionally destroyed a CAS/HUB in our development environment as part of the learning process. Everything has seemed to go well with one exception: We're having issues with adding Kerberos back into the environment on this server.
When running the RollAlternateServiceAccountPassword PowerShell script, we receive the following error:
Failed to read Alternate Service Account configuration data from the registry subtree HLKM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeServiceHost\ServiceAccounts.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-ClientAccessServer], DataSourceTransientException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : A21E752D,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.GetClientAccessServer
We have no issues with our other CAS/HUB. This error occurs if we attempt to push the ASA out to the server or copy from the good server to the restored server. We can run a Get-ChildItem and the key is returned normally. Get-ClientAccessServer -IncludeAlternateServiceAccountCredentialStatus returns the error. Both servers are showing as members of the CAS Array.
Thinking that the copy command would just be moving a copy of the registry key, I exported the location and imported it on the restored server. We still receive the error.
We thought about permissions, but Get-ChildItem works. Some of the commands only require read access.
I have seen references to the Remote Registry Service being a potential issue, but it is started and a restart does not correct the error.
Any thoughts?

HR sent an email to all users in our email domain. HR needs a script, that will export to CSV, listing all users who have received this email and if they have opened it. Provided criteria for this listing is the sending email address, the sending date/time and the subject text. Does anyone have a script that will provide this level of detail?
We use Exchange 2010 SP3 and MS Outlook 2010
Thank you for any assistance you may provide,

Hi,
I'm trying to troubleshoot an Outlook connection issue in an environment where a CAS Array was introduced and assigned as the RpcClientAccessServer for one database, lets call it DB4.
Few things to note
1. RPC/HTTPS (Outlook Anywhere) is the only connection method allowed (internally and externally)
2. RPC is blocked on the firewall
3. Outlook Provider for EXPR and EXCH is set to ServerExclusiveConnect
4. The CAS Array object is not externally resolvable
5. Using split DNS where the webmail/autodiscover URL is internally and externally resolvable
6. The CAS servers are sitting behind a load balancer and only port 443 is allowed through
The problems becomes apparent when any mailbox is moved into DB4 and you try to set up a new Outlook profile. Autodiscover finds all the correct settings but when opening Outlook you get a 'work offline/retry' prompt, strangely enough when you click on 'retry' the mailbox opens (this is the case every time).
It appears the initial Outlook connection attempt is using RPC, which times out and you get the retry prompt. On databases which aren't "using" the array the RPC attempt would also time out but then the connection is established with RPC/HTTPS automatically.
I thought 'ServerExclusiveConnect' forces the connection via RPC/HTTP, so the client shouldn't attempt RPC?
I've gone through the two blogs below but might have missed something. If anyone has any ideas on what else could be causing this please let me know.

Hey guys,
at the moment I got a really weird issue.
In general "get-mailbox" without any additions should show all mailboxes in the Exchange environment.
Unfortunately from 600 mailboxes, I can only find 30.
"get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited" is the same. There are no strange domain connections, it is just a single server.
If I enter "Mailbox" in the "Recipient Configuration" in the EMC I can see everything. By entering this view, Exchange executes in the background "Get-Recipient -PropertySet ConsoleLargeSet -ResultSize "10000" -SortBy Displayname
-RecipientType "Usermailbox"
If I execute this in the EMS, again I get only 30 entries instead of 600.
For sure server has already been restarted.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Chris
Hello,
My boss is trying to send emails and is having issues with receiving the #571 delivery not authorized error.
I have no issues sending emails externally, and he typically does not have any issues either.
We are running exchange 2010 on our network.
I ran all the diagnostics tools, we have the correct spf records, are not black listed either.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

We have a large number of external contacts in our GAL. One of the companies is having a name and email domain change.
The email addresses are staying the same except for the email domain.
For instance jsmith@domain.com is now jsmith@xyzcorp.us.
How can we do a mass change of email addresses for these external mail Contacts?
We are not changing our email domain. These are all external users added to our address list being changed.
I recently switched Authentication modes of OWA to Forms based and now when a user logs in and tries to send an email it takes them back to the authentication page. This happens in all web browsers and only happens once then it works for all other messages until you close the browser and re-open the browser, then it does the same thing. I did not have this issue with Basic Authentication, it is using https and I do have a certificate. If any one has any ideas or has seen this your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
Using Veeam we're backing up a passive mailbox database copy. The backup is valid, but log truncation never happens on the active server. The issue appears to be caused by a network timeout between the two servers as documented in this Symantec technote: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH169681
A similar issue is also described here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/2b79c262-a208-4ebb-b514-4eecf5252547
Once the backup completes, we see the following error logged:
Log Name: Application Source: ESE BACKUP Date: 1/2/2013 8:52:28 PM Event ID: 964 Task Category: General Level: Information Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: PASSIVESERVER.awc-inc.com Description: msexchangerepl (2540) The surrogate backup to <ACTIVESERVER> has been stopped with error 0x6BE.
Error 0x6BE looks to be related to a failed remote procedure call. We're unsure of how this call is made though so we don't know what session timeout to increase between the two networks.
On the active server, we see an event logged once the backup starts. Exactly two hours later we see the event below saying that the backup has failed. We're assuming this is because the active server never receives notification from the passive copy that the backup was successful.
Log Name: Application Source: ESE BACKUP Date: 1/2/2013 10:02:31 PM Event ID: 914 Task Category: General Level: Information Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: ACTIVESERVER.awc-inc.com Description: Information Store (4372) The surrogate backup by ACTIVESERVER has stopped with error 0xC8000777.
I am in the middle of migrating the Exchange 2003 mailboxes over to 2010.
Both servers utilise a separate SMTP server for the delivery and receipt of external email.
Occasionally when attempting to send or reply to an email, Outlook will freeze for up to 3 minutes.
Not sure if there is a setting somewhere I need to configure to stop this happening.
Sometimes restarting the SMTP server temporarily fixes the issue.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has seen this?
Hi all,
Exchange 2010 SP1
We just moved from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 SP1.
One DAG (DAG1) includes two MBX servers at site1 and one
MBX1 server at site2.
We use third party backup software (CommValut) to backup
passive copies at MBX1 at site2 and it will trucate logs on the
active copies.
We habe about 10 mailbox databases and 3 of them can not backup.
When backup runs, it fails. But, the other 7 databases backup fine.
I have no clue why it only fails on three databases backup. the
DBs are configured same.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.
How does outlook select to use the internal or external oab URL? What conditions does it look for with which to select connection to either?
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a sort of strange issue. When i look at the database copies check the ContentIndexState column, i would have expected the status to be 'Healthy' or 'FailedAndSuspended' or even 'Crawling'. I have two copies where the status is simply just '5'. Anyone have some idea what is happening here and how to correct it?

Hello,
Can someone please explain where does the Outlook client connect to first when sending mail to another internal user in Exchange 2010?
Does the outlook client first connect to the Mailbox server, CAS server or the Hub Transport server?
Thanks!
Guys,
We had a certificate expire on our CAS servers that was used for webmail, autodiscover etc. WE had purchased a wildcard cert for use on the newly installed ADFS servers for our migration to office 365. Rather than renew the original SAN cert, I imported the wildcard cert into cas, (same domain name) bound the cert in IIS, then completed an IISRESET. Launched outlook again, it prompted to accept the new wildcard cert. I accepted it. Logged out of outlook, launched again, prompted again for certificate. I then installed the certificate via the prompts in outlook. Yet each time I launch outlook, it is still asking to accept certificate. Any thoughts?
Hello
I have a two node DAG. The Nodes called Server1 and Server2. Server1 has the initial PF that we migrated from Exchange 2007. The size of that database is 4GB. I added a new PF database on Server2 and used .\AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 to add the replicas on Server2. We added a third DAG node (Server3) and I ran the same script. So now we have three server replicas. The issue I am having is that the PF database size on Server3 is now up to 45 GB and the PF database size on Server2 is 37 GB while the PF database size is still at 4 GB. We do not heavily use Public Folders at our company. I did a get PublicFolderStatistics export to csv on all three servers and compared the content. The content is exactly the same. Any ideas what could be causing this issue? I thinking of removing the PF database on Server3 altogether and create a new one. can I just use the following command:
RemoveReplicaFromPFRecursive.ps1 –Server server1 –TopPublicFolder \ –ServerToRemove Server3
RemoveReplicaFromPFRecursive.ps1 –Server server2 –TopPublicFolder \ –ServerToRemove Server3
Then remove the database from the server?
Dear forum people,
I have a DAG setup with 2 nodes. Exchange works great and fails over when needed. Mail is flowing properly and continues to do so when the active copy of a mailbox fails over.
However, the issue I have is that backups have started failing saying it 'cannot connect to the exchnage server, is the BUE agent running?'
The agent is running fine on all the nodes of the dag, but the actual DAG object in AD I can no longer ping. I guess this object is what Backup Exec uses to connect to the DAG.
I tried to troubleshoot using the failover cluster manager, but I cannot connect to the dag object:
I have also checked DNS for the DAG object and looks OK and not static.
According to Exchange the DAG is fully operational, but I have noticed the IP address for the DAG object in DNS is showing on the subnet of the passive copy of the databases as opposed to the active copy. I have really run out of ideas and would appriciate any assistance.
Thanks - Tom.
Just found this in the cluster report:
This resource is marked with a state of 'Failed' instead of 'Online'. This failed state indicates that the resource had a problem either coming online or had a failure while it was online. The event logs and cluster logs may have information that is helpful in identifying the cause of the failure.
The DNS address of the DAG object is currently 192.168.1.26 but the active server is on the 192.168.250.0/24 subnet.
Cheers
EMC has this message:
Initialization failed "Execution calling 'GetSteppablePipeline" with "1" arguement: File D:\program files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\RemoteScripts\ConsoleInitialize.ps1 cannot be loaded because its execution is blocked by software restriction policies"
EMS has this error:
"There were errors in loading the format data file: D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange 2010\V14\Bin\exchange.format.ps1x
ml, , D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange 2010\V14\Bin\exchange.format.ps1xml : File skipped because of the following validation exception: File D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange 2010\V14\Bin\exchange.format.ps1xml cannot be loaded because its execution is

All other powershell scripts work just fine. It is not the execution policy. That is set properly. Authenticode returns valid on the files. There are no settings it GPO to control or cause this. Email working fine. It just started after a reboot for updates. Any other thoughts before I spend $500 for a call?

The default rejection message sent by a resource when someone tries to book it outside of the booking window is misleading, because the latest-available date is rendered as MM/DD/YYYY, despite our system regionalisation defining date format as DD/MM/YYYY
Example rejection message, created on December 4th 2014:
Your meeting request was declined.
This resource can only be scheduled up to 365 days in advance. The end time should fall before 12/5/2015.
All times listed are in the following time zone: (GMT+00:00) Time Zone
Is there any way to correct this regionalisation failure ?
