Hi All

We have a problem with exchange 2010 (got all the updates and rolups) where now and then people loosing ability to search they emails (NOT a local issue, test-exchangesearch fails) and we have to re index mailbox databases by running ResetSearchIndex.ps1 .

Can anybody point me in the right direction to find why it is happening - which logs do I need to search and what to look for etc. Maybe somebody had similar issue and managed to resolve it.

Thanks

Hello guys,

Firstly, thank you for reading my problem.

The situation is there: When I execute the exchange health, I get the result below:
Get-ServerHealth -Identity contoso | Where {$_.AlertValue -ne "Healthy" -and $_.AlertValue -ne "Disabled"}

The command return the results below:
                                                                                                   
Server          State               Name                        TargetResource            HealthSetName  AlertValue   ServerComp

------             -----               ----                           --------------               -------------        ----------     ----------
contoso         Online             Messages.failed.t...     HubTransport              Unhealthy           HubTran...
contoso         NotApplicable   PopDeepTestMonitor   MSExchangePop3BE     POP.Protocol        Unhealthy   None

When I set a probing to get detaild error, I got the result below:

Exchange 2013 Hybrid - A single month old email is duplicated in the thousands

$
0
0

Hello

First of all this is not an Outlook Client issue, this happens in OWA as well and all inbox rules are turned off. 

No transport rules include this mailbox and it is not set to automatically move spam mails.

It will continue with the user disabled, same with Outlook Anywhere.

This first happened when we received this email the 18th of August but a colleague of mine resolved it back then. 

The exact same email(same time/date/content/sender/recipient) is now multiplying in the thousands and is not stopping. This causes an increase in log files(multiple per minute) and eventually the logdrive will fill up Unless we delete mail manually. 

This is the first time I've seen "spam" not actually being spam. There is no new emails from the sender and the sender has been blacklisted.

Any ideas? 

By the way, even tho I disabled automatic move from Junk to Deleted Items, it still continues. Junk email folder is at most a 5th of the deleted items folder's size. 

Additional info: 
Exchange 2013, but hybrid. This mailbox is on-premise. 




Permission error on New-MailboxExportRequest for Mailbox Archive

$

0

SO we're getting rid of Enterprise Vault and moving back to Exchange native archiving.

Part of this requires a new process for leavers and the only method I can see is to export mailbox and archive to PST, however....when I run the

New-MailboxExportRequest ME -filepath \\server\export\ME\me.pst -isarchive

I get a "Access to path is denied" error. However, if I run the same command and exclude the IsArchive switch, it all runs fine and exports the mailbox.

Why, when I try to export the archive, do I get a permission error. I have permission to the mailbox, I have permission to the destination share. Exchange Trusted Subsystem has permission to the share. The server I'm running this on is an Exchange server. All Servers are Exchange 2013 CU9 (Can't upgrade until we have removed EV. Can't remove EV until we have a leavers policy!)

I cannot use the search-mailbox ommand to export as most mailboxes will have over 10,000 items.

Anyone, anywhere, any ideas?


Setting up a service account to access mailboxes

I have a service account setup in AD used for Dynamics 365 on-prem. This account is to pickup email and associate it to records within Dynamics according to a set of rules.

How do I give this service account permissions to the mailboxes in Exchange?  Does this account need a mailbox?  I wouldn't think so because it won't be receiving any email itself.

Good Day,

I have tried all the tips around the web. Turn off MRS, do -Emergency switch. Nothing is working with mailbox moves. It stays stuck in queue for day and nothing happens. I try to resume and goes back to stalledduetosourcedb.

Thank you

I have ews logs coming from my client and I am supposed to parse it in logstash. I am not able to understand the format for ews logs nor I can find some documentation on its log format. I am pasting one of the logs here. I have changed some of the information while keeping the format same. Can anyone please explain to me what each fields mean and what ",,,,," means? or even point to proper documentation will be helpful.

Client license

Hi,

We use Exchange 2010 Standard version.

Please let me know how to identify how many users we can create.

Is there any client license to be purchased to create users and allocate mailboxes. Or it only depending on the resources that we can create any numbers of mailboxes and only outlook client licenses are required?

Please move to required forum if this is not the place for this question.

Exchange 2013 Issues with accessing OWA/ECP happened out of nowhere / Ran SP1 for Ex2013 / ECP and OWA worked for 24 hours now failed.

$

Having nothing but problems with this Exchange 2013 deployment, and its the simplest way to deploy Exchange. Single server, single domain controller, on the same box.

A few weeks ago, out of nowhere a server that was running fine, started reporting ASP errors and no access to the ECP or OWA would function.  Rebooting didn't help. Restarting IIS didn't help. Only Exchange and ADDS run on this server.

Was recommended through an Exchange 2013 forum to install SP1 to fix this issue.  That was a nightmare in itself, 18 steps, 50% of which failed one by one and had to work through those issues.  Once it completed, OWA and ECP worked again, but only for 24 hours or probably less if I  was up all day.  Now OWA works if I typehttps://ffws01/owa and login, but if I try https://ffws01/ecp I get a login prompt, then when logging in it goes 500 Internal Error.

PowerShell command Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus shows ContentIndexStatus as "Failed and..."

There are three mailbox databases, the default randomly generated one, then MBX1 and MBX2.

I am at a loss right now, and have no idea what to do with this box. Users are able to access their mailboxes though from Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013.  Just have no way of managing this server anymore.

Dear Tech-net Support Team,

Am facing an issue with attachment size in exchange 2010, we are unable to send or receive emails more than 20 MB to outside our domain.
Our current default policy for all mailbox is :- 20MB [Send/Recv]
applied for some users 50MB [Send/Recv].

the user who has 50MB attachment size are unable to send more than 20MB.

Our email infra like below.
Exchange 2010 [ Only one exchange ]
McAfee for Exchange [applied to 50 MB Attachment ]
External Email gateway 100 MB Attachment allowed.

Trouble shoot made:

tracked email for the user, found that status code in exchange "550 5.2.3 RESOLVER.RST.RecipSizeLimit; message too large for this recipient "
Checked mail gateway, the incoming email having more than 20 MB is allowed to our exchange.

Kindly guide to sort out this issue.

Hi All,

MS is disabling support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. Can some shed light on how it will impact Exchange 2013 on Prem Customers?

we are on CU 5 but planning to upgrade to CU 20 but my upgrade dates are keep changing, so I need to know how it will impact Exchange 2013 CU5 if not upgrade to CU 20 for TLS 1.2 compatible after October 31st, 2018.

We using Exchange Online Protection as our email security Software. which will be replaced starting 1st November, 2018.

Removal of default database with only health mailboxes remaining

$
0
0

We are currently running on premises Exchange 2013 Build 1395.4 ( CU 21 ).  

We wanted to reorganize mailboxes into separate databases on differentiated storage so as to apply different storage snapshot policies to different priority mailboxes.

All went well - 3 databases created, mailboxes all moved and original database apparently empty with the exception of the health mailboxes.  I dismounted the original database, call it EXCH2013-ORIG, for a few days with no apparent impact, but yet the health mailboxes still exist so I am wary of just deleting the mailbox, deleting the mailbox accounts from ADUC, and restarting the health service.  I know it's a no-no moving health mailboxes from one database to another so I have two questions.

1) If I delete the mailbox accounts in ADUC and restart the service with the EXCH2013-ORIG dismounted, where will the health mailboxes be created?  Will it follow the priority set in Automatic Distribution or will the mailbox creation fail without EXCH2013-ORIG?

2) Are there any other pitfalls related to deleting this database?  I would like to reclaim the terrabyte of storage.

Thanks

Free up disk space on Exchange Server

I have a DAG environment, two servers. Server-A has Four Drives C, H,I J and on drive "H" I have two mailbox DB's that are about 75GB On Server-B I have the same setup but I notice on Server-A (the "H" drive) it is 95% full where as on Server-B (the "H" drive) it's only 45% full. They have the same amout of Mailbox databases, etc but I can't see why Server-A is almost out of space. Could it be that the backup is not truncating the logs?  Do I have to move the Mailboxes DB's to another location to get the space back?
