AD User with a forwarding address.

$
0
0
Hi there,

I have an Exchange 2013 server and I want to create AD users with forwarding addresses.

I want the AD user to have an email address, say test@example.com and I want emails sent to that email to be forwarded to test@subdomain1.example.com
We do not want users to see that the address of the user is test@subdomain1.example.com

Is that possible?

I have tried to create AD users and put the forwarding address in the forwardingAddress attribute but it is not working.


If it is not possible with an AD user, is it possible with a Contact?

If yes, which AD attributes need to have which value?

Malware detected on all Exchange 2013 mailbox servers

$

0

Since yesterday I've had multiple detections of the malware below - only on Exchange 2013 mailbox database servers. Two CAS servers are not showing anything, nor are any other AD-joined servers (so I don'tthink this is something spreading across the network).

I think these detections may be happenning because somehow a mail message with something bad in it has got past the mail filtering system and into a mailbox. I'm not sure why that would be popping up outside the mailstore DB as discrete files on the C drive. I'm wondering if it's because of some kind of background Exchange optimisation process? As far as I know, no mailbox moves or exports were running at any of the times when this stuff was detected - I've seen references to similar experiences from other people in various forums online, but without any definitive answers.

Antimalware is System Center Endpoint Detection on Server 2012 R2.

Can anyone explain the processes that might be going inside Exchange that would cause stuff to be pulled out of a mailbox and onto the C drive? I need to rule out if these servers are actively being attacked over the network by something.

I have put the (licenced) business version of MalwareBytes onto one of the servers in addition to SCEP and it detected nothing. A full scan from SCEP also detected nothing.

Further, if this is some item with nasty attachments sat in a mailbox, how can I identify and remove it? Can that be found in a log somewhere, or are there commercial products that can scan the contents of the mailstores (as opposed to scanning stuff as it passes into and out of Exchange).

Thanks for any help.

Here's the detail:

Exchange Server 2010 MailBox Server Roll doesn't run

Hey Guys

I got an Issue with our Exchange 2010 Server. Some of our users say that they're not able to send E-Mails. With my test mailbox I was able to send out messages fine. But I checked for the health of our server and saw this message, that my mailbox server roll doesn't run (I entered "Get-ExchangeServer | Test-ServiceHealth | ft Role,RequiredServicesRunning

Unfortunately all Services seems to be running when I check in "services.msc" all Exchange Services are running.

Do you know what I could do to resolve this issue?

Thanks for your Help.

Cheers

Gabe

Exchange delivers old (non-existent) cert

$
0
0

Hi

I encountered a strange problem when renewing a certificate that was about to expire:

As usual, the CSR was created, the Cert imported from Comodo, services enabled (all via ECP), the key exported, the Cert imported from the second DAG member, checked to see if OWA was delivering the new one - and the old Cert deleted on both DAG member servers.

Which I haven't checked: 

What it looks like for Outlook clients on PC and Mac and here it comes:

You still get the old (expired) certificate that no longer exists on both servers:

- local certificate store

- List in /ecp => Certificates

- Get-ExchangeCertificate -Server xxx | Format-List

- IIS Management Console


In all these places I see only the new one with the right bindings and OWA / ECP do deliver this one. Why do Outlook-Clients getting that old one?

What am I missing?
(Of course rebooted both DAG members and clients, too. Just in case there is a cache somewhere...)


Thank you - F.One

PST Files > 50GB from Mailbox Export

Hi There,

I've archived some mail to PST but the PST file is 75GB.

I don't want to try and open it in Outlook as I'm concerned that due to the 50GB file limit the file may become corrupt in the process.

Is there a way to split this file into two halves safely?   or a no-risk way of opening it in Outlook 2013 and moving half the data into another PST?

Excessive amount of Tombstone Entries - 40017 & 40013

$
0
0

Our exchange server (2013 CU17 (we are in the process of deploying updated cumulative updates)) is reporting in with, in the period of 2 days, 92 tombstone cleanup actions. 

Would this be normal with a very large amount of mailboxes or how do I go about running tombstone cleanups on shorter periods so that it is not doing emergency tombstone cleanups during the course of the day? I noticed that it does this when it reaches 100,000 items so I am assuming this would be the default limit.

I tried to find an answer to how to possibly change this but have not had much luck (my Google may be weak). 

40017 

The urgent tombstone table cleanup task has finished executing.       

Database: Mailbox Database (1c404d60-ceaf-48c3-ad65-028aad2aa067)

The tombstone table has reached an excessive number of entries and/or total size. A maintenance task has been dispatched to perform urgent cleanup.

Search-Mailbox date range no results

I am trying to delete messages from a single mailbox that are between a given date range.  Below is the command.  

Search-Mailbox -identity MailArchive -searchquery {(Received:> 10/01/2017 and Received:< 11/30/2017)} -DeleteContent -Force

I have also tried:

Search-Mailbox -identity MailArchive -searchquery {(Received:> 10/01/2017 00:00:00 and Received:< 11/30/2017 23:59:59)} -DeleteContent -Force

Both commands runs successfully (as in no errors) but shows ResultItemsCount = 0.

If I map myself to that mailbox I can see plenty of messages with a date range that falls within scope.

The mapped mailbox is online and not in exchange cached mode.  I have recycled outlook and remapped the mailbox many times.

Why is this command not delete these messages?

This command should delete well over 200,000 emails from this mailbox.

I am new to using Dynamic Distribution Groups and took over administration of an Exchange 2013 environment where they are in use.  The previous administrator had a ddg setup that had a recipient filter as follows:

((((((((((((((RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (CustomAttribute9 -ne 'Terminated'))) -and (CustomAttribute2 -ne 'NYCDA'))) -and (CustomAttribute4 -ne '494'))) -and (CustomAttribute4 -ne '497'))) -and (CustomAttribute4 -ne '495'))) -and (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACAONSDN') -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDADADV'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACONSTDN'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACSRONDN'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'EXPEDCCR'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDASOCD'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDCDEAN'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'TELERDIR'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDNUSSC'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDADOF'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'TELECDIR'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDASDCL'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDAVPAS'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDADNCA'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDVPAS'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDADADT'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDNSNUR'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDVPCUR'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDGLDN'))) -or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'MGRLRNDV'))))) -and (-not(Name -like 'SystemMailbox{*')) -and (-not(Name -like 'CAS_{*')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'MailboxPlan')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'DiscoveryMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'PublicFolderMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'ArbitrationMailbox')) -and (-not(RecipientTypeDetailsValue -eq 'AuditLogMailbox')))

I need to update just the recipient filter with a new job code "-or (CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ACDGADN')", but I'm finding I'm having real trouble with the parenthesis.  When I try to update the recipient filter, I just get >> as the result.

I wasn't finding any information about the specific use of brackets or parentheses when building these recipient filters, can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Renewing Self-signed SHA1 cert with SHA256?

$
0
0

Hi,

Exchange 2013 server with Self-signed cert will expire in a month.

This was originally issued 4 years ago as a SHA1 cert.

Exchange is now above CU13 so supports SHA256 certs.

If we click the 'renew' option in the EAC will it renew this as SAH1 again or automatically re-issue as SHA256.

We need to remove SHA1 for compliance.

Many Thanks.
