Log of when an email opened

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a user that has received an important mail for a tender and missed the deadline because he did not see/open the email until after the deadline.

they would like to prove that they have not read the email until when they did see it. is there a Log in exchange that logs when each email was opened? I know you can see when they receved it through the logs but can you monitor when it was opened?

Thanks


Setting Banner in Exchange 2010

Hello,

I'm trying to set the SMTP banner in Exchange 2010 SP3

First I run Get

Get-ReceiveConnector gives me this

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-ReceiveConnector

Identity                               Bindings                               Enabled

--------                               --------                               -------

EXCHANGE03\Client EXCHANGE03           {:::587, 0.0.0.0:587}                  True

EXCHANGE03\Relay                       {0.0.0.0:25}                           False

EXCHANGE03\Default 2 Exchange03        {0.0.0.0:25}                           True

EXCHANGE03\Veeam                       {0.0.0.0:25}                           True

Then Set-ReceiveConnector but I get an error

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity "Exchange03" -Banner "220 mail1.metrus.co.uk"

The operation couldn't be performed because object 'EXCHANGE03.rossjaye.rossjayevelleman.co.uk\Exchange03' couldn't befound on 'AD01.rossjaye.rossjayevelleman.co.uk'.

AD01 is the domain controller. Any ideas why I get this error and what I should use to set the SMTP banner?

Thanks

Moving database to different volume - Exchange 2013

$

0

Hi Everyone,

We are running exchange 2013 in DAG with 3 members ,one of the volume on the server is about to get full ,i would like to move the database to another volume,the previous administrator has created the volume as an MBR volume so i cannot expand the volume its already 2 TB.

i would like to move one of the huge database which has around 350 mailboxes and 400 GB in size ,what is the best practice,please also note i have one DAG member running in DR also i have couple of queries

1) will i have to reseed the full database on each DAG member?

2)Will i have to break the DAG first to move the database to other volume?

3 will there be downtime for the users?

4) should the database be dismounted manually before moving the database?

5) or else is it better to create  a new database on another volume and move all the 350 mailboxes to that voulume?

Regards

JAck

I need to shutdown my Exchange environment

$

We have maintenance schedule for our buildings power supply. As a result we will have to power do all of the servers during this period. I'd like to get some input on how the Exchange servers should be shut down to minimize any issues. We have 3 CAS servers in a cluster and 3 mailbox servers in a stretched DAG. There are 24 databases total. My thoughts are to power down the CAS servers to break connections then the mailbox server that is in our remote site MBX3, failover is blocked to this server. Next I would roll all active database over to MBX1 and shut down MBX2. After failover is complete then I would shutdown MBX1. Does that sound about right? All responses appreciated.

How to Fix WCF Timeout Errors in Exchange 2013

$

The helpful Exchange Report by Satheshwaran Manoharan worked flawlessly in our 2013 on prem environment. That is until we applied some .net updates and we started receiving the following errors.

The Health Test of the Monitoring WCF Service timed out after 00:00:05. Verify the DAG Management Service (MSExchangeDAGMGMT) is running
  

The service was actually running on all mailbox servers as expected. sc query msexchangedagmgmt

My first troubleshooting step was to run the Health Checker on the Mailbox Servers and resolve any issues. This revealed that certain timeout setting were not applied as recommended.

Here are the Reg entries

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\RPC\MinimumConnectionTimeout

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveTime

also these values were added

netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
netsh int tcp set global chimney=Automatic

Running the Test-ReplicationHealth cmdlet completed successfully on each DAG member. However in the report the error persisted after these changes so I added the variableTransientEventSuppressionWindow in the script to extend the timeout setting as our exchange environment features a multi site DAG.

This resolved the issue...

Mailbox Audit using MessageBind

$
0
0

Hey guys,

May I ask you one question regarding mailbox auditing, we need to have to functionality to log if a user did read an email or not - since yesterday we are running exchange 2013 cu14.

Regarding on several other post I found that "MessageBind" for the Owner should do this, also the description on technet would match our need.

An item is accessed in the reading pane or opened.

So I enabled auditlog for some users with the following configuration:

AuditEnabled     : True
AuditLogAgeLimit : 90.00:00:00
AuditAdmin       : {Update, Move, MoveToDeletedItems, SoftDelete, HardDelete, FolderBind, SendAs, SendOnBehalf, Create}
AuditDelegate    : {Update, SoftDelete, HardDelete, SendAs, Create}
AuditOwner       : {MessageBind}

What is strange now, as soon as an email arrives in the mailbox an "MessageBind" event is logged, then when the email is read an other "MessageBind" event is logged:

Mail received

So my question: Why is a "MessageBind" event logged when the mail received? Is there something wrong in my environment? How can I now tell if the mail was read or not?

Thanks a lot for your assitance.

Problem with Name Resolution in Outlook, ActiveSync and OWA

$

Hi everybody,

it is hard to categorize which part of the forum is the correct one because the problem stretches to multiple problems.

Since I migrated from Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 I have problem with the name resolution as I believe it should work. (BTW: we are using AD 2012 R2)

When I am trying to search for an user in the addressbook in outlook (2013 and 2016) with the samaccountname I can't find the user (using GAL so no offline address book). I actually can only find the user while using his last name (surname does not work either)

When I am writing an E-Mail via ActiveSync or OWA-Client and I try using the samaccountname in from,cc,bcc it does not work either. I am not sure about the GAL but I am very certain (as are my co-workers) this was possible before the migration.
(However it works with e-mail/name -> using "Mark" in OWA or ActiveSync I will get every user who has that in his name/email (Mark, Markus, Marketing, etc.)

When I am writing an E-Mail with Outlook and I am using samaccountname in from,cc,bcc it wont recognize the user while searching for it for the very first time. If I type in every samaccountname I want (seperated with an ; of course) and I use the "check name"-button it works.

But with an exception that I dont think is right. For example: if I have an samaccountname "mark" and I am using that in outlook with the name resolution -> I have to choose between every single user that has "mark" somewhere in his name (e.g. everybody called Mark or Markus)

However: if I type in =Mark he will find the exact user after using the "name resolution"-button

So I started googling where this problem could come from and I stumbled upon ambiguous name resolution (ANR).

I found an old article (2004 - hell): https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2004/08/23/why-we-named-a-bit-in-the-directory-after-billg/

After reading that I checked via ADSI-Editor if the mentioned dSHeuristics-Attribut inCN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services,CN=Configurationwas set with the value 1 or 1000.

But the value is not set and according to this article this should turn off ANR.
Besides that I really dont understand the mentioned 4th character - maybe here are some changes since server 2003. I can only set dSHeuristics in the properties of the CN=directory-service (maybe I am missing something)

My problem is now that I do not know if this could essentially be the problem or if this feature was somehow replaced or is configured somewhere else in the AD (since between 2004 and 2016 (2012 R2 AD) could change a lot)

And if this is the right place -> is it really deactivated, could this be my problem and is the number 1000 still the right one or did this change?

I would really appreciate any help to solve this since my colleagues really wanna use the samaccountname to search via activesync on their smartphone instead of typing the IP-Address - same for OWA and Outlook.

Ask away if anything is unclear.

Can I block members of a distribution list from sending emails to a particular mailbox?

$

My company is using a Help Desk ticketing software and we want to force end users to use the Help Desk Portal we created rather than sending tickets to our help.desk@domain.com account.  Merely removing the address is not desirable because we have system generated messages from a variety of servers and providers that notify us of problems.  Changing all of those to a different email address would be time consuming and we may miss something critical.  All of our end users are members of a distribution group called all employees.  Can that distribution list be added to the Reject Messages from list or must addresses be added manually to it?  

Send On Behalf rights

Do we have any way to provide send on behalf rights other than Exchange Powershell.

Our Service Desk does not have powershell console. Currently they provide FullAccess,SendAS on shared mailboxes via EAC but they don't have option to provide send on behalf through EAC.

Mailboxes keep getting quarantined, cant find the reason - Exchange 2013

Hi,

Mailboxes keep getting quarantined and I can't find the reason. We have Exchange 2013 Version 15.0 ‎(Build 1236.3)‎. Mailboxes were migrated from Exchange 2007. Everything is finished and old Exchange removed. 

I got event logs: Event 1006

The performance counter '\\SRVMTSPEX2\MSExchangeIS Store(mtsp2)\Quarantined Mailbox Count' sustained a value of '2,00', for the '10' minute(s) interval starting at '04.11.2016 09:47:00'.
Additional information: None. Trigger Name:StoreQuarantinedMailboxCountTrigger. Instance:mtsp2


Can you please help me find the reason and address the problem.

Thank you,

How do I reclaim space from moved mailbox

$

Our database are set to retain deleted mailboxes for 30 days. So, when I move a mailbox from one database to another the space on the source is not freed up until after the 30 days. I used to run Clean-MailboxDatabase to reclaim that space. Will I get the same effects from running Update-StoreMailboxState?
