How do you stop Activesync users changing their profile picture?

$
0
0

We are in the process of migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2013. In 2007 nobody had the ability to change their profile picture (seen in Outlook and in our online phonebook). However, it would appear that users already migrated to 2013 who have a iOS device connected via ActiveSync can now use the OWA for iPhone mail client on their mobile to change their profile picture.

We do not want users to have this ability, we have already seen some inappropriate images appear and need to stop this. How can I restrict it?

Exchange Mailbox Auditing - Trigger alert upon mailbox access

$
0
0

I am running Exchange 2010 SP3. I understand how to enable mailbox auditing and run reports. I am trying to figure out how to send a triggered alert to an administrator. Nothing is logged in the event viewer when Employee A accesses Employee B's mailbox, so creating a trigger based on event ID is out of the question. Likewise, the log is stored in the dumpster, so the only way to get information out of it is via the EMS.

Has anyone figured out a way to get an alert to send based on the mailbox access condition? Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Hi There,

I have two question relating to this topic:

Question 1 - Can I set up an auto reply message (e.g. Thank you for submitting your enquiry....) to any emails that areonly external and not including our domain to the organisation for a specific email address. I need to be able to specify other domains also that I don't want this rule to be applied to?

Question 2 - If this is possible, is there a customizable template that can be used for the auto reply message?

Hopefully someone can help!

Hi All,

After lots of efforts, finally decided to put qustion on forum to resolve my problem.

Currently, My task is to access emails from my email account and download the specific email attachment which I will filter by using subject name of my email, It is clear to me.

But I am enable to access emails from exchange server(my email account use exchange server).

I did following to do my task:

1) Downloaded "EWS Managed API 2.0" and installed on my system.

2) Did following code:

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("myemailaddress", "userpassword");
service.AutodiscoverUrl("myemailaddress", RedirectionUrlValidationCallback);
EmailMessage message = new EmailMessage(service);
message.Subject = subjectTextbox.Text;
message.Body = bodyTextbox.Text;
message.ToRecipients.Add(recipientTextbox.Text);
message.Save();
message.SendAndSaveCopy();
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show("Message sent!");
recipientTextbox.Text = "";
subjectTextbox.Text = "";
bodyTextbox.Text = "";

But Above code giving error: "The Autodiscover service couldn't be located."

I have checked almost all the site and did the changes but no result.

Is to solve it, I need to do following:

1) Installation of Exchange server on my machine.

2) Adding "Autodiscover" name to DNS.

3) or any different.

My system configuration is as follows:

1) OS: Windows 2007 Professional

2) 32 bit system.

Now, everything is open from my side. Please give me your valuable suggestion on it.

Thanks

Exchange 2013 CU1 Outlook Web App LogOff with Basic or Windows Integrated Authentication

$
0
0

Hi all,

Exchange 2013 CU1 has a new OWA LogOff behaviour when Basic or Windows Integrated Authentication is configured. When clicking the LogOff Button you receive the message "Close All your Browser Windows.." but OWA does not sign out. This is not the case when using Formbased Authentication...

The problem in our case is the OWA publishing over the Internet via TMG. When publishing via TMG, only Basic and NTLM authentication is supported. This means you have to change the Authentication for the OWA Virtual Directory to basic or Windows Integrated. OK so far, now we can use the TMG Authentication Form. but... TMG is not able to Catch the OWA LogOff. So we will still receive "Close all your Browser Settings.." and no log out from OWA.

It is a known issue that TMG cannot catch the OWA Logoff with the Exchange 2013 CU1 Release..So my Question:Does anyone get that "Real LogOut" fixed via TMG or directly on the CAS Server for Exchange 2013 CU1?

I know another possibility is to activate Form Based Authentication on the CAS Servers and external users directly authenticate against the CAS Server without pre-authentication at TMG Level, but this of course does not provide the highest security we can have.

Exchange 2013 Online mode slow performance

$

Hello,

We recently moved mailboxes (180 or so) from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.  We are noticing that Outlook navigation seems to be very slow compared to the last server.  Changing folder views, switching from Inbox to Calendar, Deleting items, etc.  Also we used to be able to send 40MB HTML emails very quickly.  This now takes about 5 min just to open a reply. (These are tripwire reports.)  Most users are using Outlook in Online mode on the new server and were using Online mode on the old server

Environment: Exchange 2013 SP1 on Server 2012r2 Standard (6 cores 24 gigs of RAM, VMWare VM.)  Old server is Exchange 2007 8.3.348.2 on Server 2008x64 Standard SP2 (8 cores 12 gigs of RAM. Physical.)

I have a ticket open with MS but didn't really get anywhere after 9 hours yesterday.

Thanks.

OneDrive for Business Standalone - Trial

Hi,

This issue was originally posted to the Microsoft Office 365 Community forum (http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/p/256407/786639.aspx#786639), however, I was subsequently directed to this forum for possible answers to my issue.

I am currently trialling OneDrive for Business Standalone for my organisation. Also, I have added the organisation's Domain to the Office 365 Admin Centre and had it verified. I seem to have read all the relevant documentation but it doesn't relate to my particular issue. The problem I am experiencing relates to sharing a document by inviting email recipients in my organisation's domain.  The emails are not delivered to the recipients and neither is there any 'bounceback' email for non-delivery.

I do not have any other Office 365 services such as Exchange Online. I have an on-premise Exchange 2010 server infrastructure for all the organisations email requirements and we also have an on-premise SharePoint 2010 environment. My question really is, how can I integrate my on-premises email infrastructure with the Standalone version of One Drive for Business?

Best regards,

Paddy Tallon

Hi

We have a mixed 2007SP3 and Exchange 2013 CU5 eviroment.
Pretty much since CU3 (first version we installed) we have had problems with resources, but since SP1 we cannot create or edit resources.
We have a root domain and three child domains, all Exchange 2013 servers are in the root domain. The Exchange 2007 servers are located in the root and two of the child domains.

When creating a Room we get this:



Note: Pulsar is the E2013 CU5 Mailbox-server, Panerai is a Domain Controller in a child domain. 

The Room is the listed but when trying to open it we get this:

In the mailbox-server log we get this log: ID 4 Source MSExchange Control Panel

We tried to put the AD-account in different domains/OUs... but the same problem occurs.

Configuring Exchange 2013 resource so that Outlook 2013 clients can only request to schedule a meeting

Hello,

We have a regular end user - not an exchange admin or anything fancy.   They are not a delegate of the room in outlook.   They don't have send on behalf or full access in ECP for the room.   However for some reason the room accepts meetings this person schedules while people with Outlook 2007 don't seem to have the same level of access.   We would like to make it so their only option is to request to schedule a meeting in that room - not actually create a meeting in that room.

Large number of UM dial Plans. UM services crashing.

$

Hi,

We've been having issues with Unified Messaging on Exchange 2013 SP1 (deployed as a multi-tenant environment). We have approx 860 UM dial plans which create tenant segregation. Exchange 2013 UM is configured with Lync Hosting Pack V2. Everything was working fine, until we got about 200 new organisations, and we created new dial plans associated with them. Now we are seeing the following issues starting the UM service on the Mailbox server, and extremely high memory usage of the UM call router service on the CAS Servers.

The Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service on the Mailbox server ended the process umservice (PID=41232) due to an internal inconsistency or an unrecoverable situation.
 
The Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service wasn't able to start. More information: "Microsoft.Exchange.UM.UMCore.UMServiceBaseException: The Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service encountered an error. The worker process didn't start in the allotted time.
   at Microsoft.Exchange.UM.UMService.UMService.InternalStart()
   at Microsoft.Exchange.UM.UMCore.UMServiceBase.StartService()
   at Microsoft.Exchange.UM.UMCore.UMServiceBase.OnStartInternal(String[] args)"
 
The Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 5000 milliseconds: Restart the service.

Thanks in advance.
