Deleted Mailboxes from exch2013 ecp not showing up to reconnect

$

I had been asked to see why a calendar wasn't working for a user. Come to find out that this user was trying to connect to a users calendar that had been deleted. I was going to go reconnect the mailbox to dummy user so we could get the data the user needed. I was unable to find the mailbox in the ECP where you can Connect a Mailbox. So with the clean-mailboxdatabase command gone i wasn't sure what else to try. So i created a test user, deleted it from ECP and still don't see that account appearing to reconnect it either. However the person that removes user accounts when someone leaves the company has been deleting accounts through AD. I am able to see these other then that one account. It was only deleted in the last few days and our deleted mailboxes stick around for 30 days. Has anyone else run into this or can test deleting a user from ecp and see if it appears to be able to reconnect. I also tried this in my testlab and am seeing same results.

How do I search a user's mailbox for a specific e-mail with a specific subject via EMS

A user insists that he is not recieving e-mail invites from external people when they use gmail calendar invites. I tried to use ecp to track it down however, since it's comign from an external gmail e-mail address that's not possible. I'm presuming the e-mail is reaching the users mailbox.

Room Delegate Unable to Approve or Deny Room Bookings made to Exchange 2013

$

0
I’m trying to set up a user as a Room Delegate, however, when the Delegate ‘Accepted’ the meeting request (the Delegate was not added as an attendee by the Meeting Organiser originally), the Delegate was added as an Accepted Attendee to the meeting and on the Room calendar the schedule meeting remained as ‘Tentative’.
What I was expecting to happen when a Meeting Organiser sends a meeting request to book a room was:
a) The Meeting Organiser receives an email informing that the room booking is waiting approval from the room delegate.
b) The Room Delegate receives an email informing that someone has made a booking to a room and it needs approval.
c) The Room Delegate could Approve or Deny the booking.
d) The Meeting Organiser receives an email informing of the Room Delegates decision.

Below is the configuration I’m using, please can someone have a look over this and let me know if I’m doing something wrong or if my expectations are misplaced?

Many Thanks,
Escoll

The exchange server is a 2010


SMTP/transport failure twice in the last 2 weeks (Exchange 2013)

$
0
0

Twice in the last 2 weeks, my Exchange 2013 server SMTP/Transport services have crashed resulting in halt of all mail traffic, internal and external, both occasions requiring unplanned restarts.  After diving into the logs, I tend to believe that this is a larger-scale SMTP failure rather than an individual transport service going sideways.  A brief description follows:

Virtualized machine running Server 2012 and Exchange 2013
Exchange 2013 running as CAS and MBX server
Outgoing mail exits network directly through firewall
Incoming (external) mail is first screened by external-facing Spamassassin/Postgrey server, then relayed to Exchange via firewall

When the failure occurs, all mail-flow comes to a screeching halt, internal mail as well as incoming and outgoing external mail.
Restarting of Microsoft Exchange Frontend Transport, Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Transport Delivery, and Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Transport Submission services had no effect.  During last occurrence, the lattermost service failed to successfully stop during commanded restart. 

During failures, maillogs on external Spamfiltering server reflect inability to contact Exchange via SMTP (firewall incoming port 25 is port-forwarded to Exchange).
During failures, internal transport message tracking logs report inability to pass mail due to no contact on local port 2525, which from what i understand is the alternate SMTP port that mailbox transport uses when MBX and CAS roles are on the same server.

At this point, I don't know where else to look for the root cause of the failure.  Any suggestions for preventative measures or further sources to check for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

Logfile excerpts below:

from spam filtering server:
Aug 19 13:46:16 spam postfix/smtp[27872]: connect to <firewall IP>[<firewall IP>]:25: Connection timed out
- pretty self-explanatory

The performance counter '\\EXCHANGE\LogicalDisk(HarddiskVolume1)\Free Megabytes' sustained a value of '108.00', for the '15' minute(s) interval starting at '16/07/2013 12:07:00'. Additional information: None. Trigger Name:DatabaseDriveSpaceTrigger. Instance:harddiskvolume1

Anyone know how to fix this?

Exchange 2013 stops receiving external email after about 8 hours

$

Hello,

Just installed 2013 excahnge server 3 days ago. We noticed after the first night that we did not receive any external emails throughout the night.  I could not find anything wrong with receive connectors.  Telnet works internally when this happens but NO access from public side testing with telnet.  After I reboot the exchange server everything functions just fine and normal for about 8 hours until it happens again.

I dont know what to check or look for at this point.  Very new to exchange 2013.  Any kind of advice would be helpful at this time.

It is not a firewall issue.  Same firewall and set of rules that we use for other/old mail servers.  We only have 1 exchange server that has all roles.

Exchange 2010 - During Daylight Savings OAB Generation occurs one hour later than configured

$
0
0

I opened a case on this with Premier support.  Microsoft has said that they will not fix this in Exchange 2010, but only in Exchange 2013.  So if your OAB is set to generate at 6am, it will really generate at 7am.  Depending on how ofter your Client Access Servers poll the OAB Generation server, users will not have a current OAB when they arrive in the morning.  You'll have to set the OAB generate back one hour and remember that it runs one hour later.  It is disappointing that not only will this not be fixed, but there is no Technet article describing this behavior.

Exchange 2010 - Day / Date Specific Hub Transport Rule

Hi

We have a group mailbox that is used by a number of people. At the weekend, 3 of the team would like to receive copy's of the emails from the mailbox. 

We looked at setting up an outlook rule with a script, but this would only work if the mailbox is open.

Is there a way to set a hub transport rule, that only works on Saturday/Sunday?

Thanks

Problem with Creating New Mailbox

$

I'm having a problem with my test environment. I have a single DC forest at Windows 2008 functional level. There are two Exchange 2013 CU2 Servers with both CAS and MBX roles installed running on Windows 2008 R2.

My problem is that I cannot create any new mailboxes. In the ECP, if I select new user, the fields are all greyed out. It will only let me create a new mailbox if I prestage the account in AD first and use the existing user option.

If I try to use the shell, the shell does not recognize most of the new-mailbox command. It tells me there is no such thing as alias, userprincipalname, etc.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Oddly, I have a second test environment where my Exchange 2013 is coexisting with Exchange 2007 and I do not have any problems.

Database Count / License - Should be quick

I'm setting my Exchange 2013 deployment up according to the EX2013Calc5.9 spreadsheet (which is brilliant by the way). And with all my given input data it said that I should use 6 Databases with 35 users per DB.

Standard can have 5 active / passive DBs. So my question is why did the calculator think this was better, and can I just use 4 DB's in liu of 6? Whats the rationale behind that aside from DR. Which they are still on the same logical volume.

Thanks!
