Hello Everyone,

I have a problem which seems to be quite unique, (or maybe not)

My setup is as follows, single Exchange 2013 box, (OS Server 2012 Standard)

1 Mailbox DB (MB DB1)
1 Archive DB (MB AR1)

When I run Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus the Archive mailbox (MB AR1) has a Content Index State of Unknown, but the MB DB1 is listed as Healthy.

Also, if I do a search of items in the Archive MB from Outlook or OWA it returns nothing. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Kind regards,

Anthony

We are having many problems with the health monitoring of exchange in our SCOM 2012 environment. We have 9 exchange servers, with 3 DAGS across the 9 servers. WE are constantly getting health events in SCOM, even for monitors i've explicitly disabled. For example, the FIPS monitor. Following this guide (http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/08/13/customizing-managed-availability.aspx) i disabled the FIPS probes/monitors all together across our entire Exchange environment, and yet in SCOM, all 9 servers show this monitor as being unhealthy. Is my understanding on this functionality incorrect, or is it just not functioning properly?

Similarly, even when an Exchange monitor is completely healthy, it shows as unhealthy in SCOM. Right now, HubTransport shows as unhealthy in SCOM For all our Exchange servers, but when i run this command everything shows as healthy, across all servers.

Get-ServerHealth <server name> | ?{$_.HealthSetName -eq "HubTransport"}

I understand that these monitors can be unhealthy for a while and correct themselves, but shouldn't that correct them in SCOM as well? And for disabled monitors, like FIPS, they should never be unhealthy at all. So why are they showing as unhealthy in SCOM? Am i expected to reset health in SCOM every time an unhealthy flag is thrown in Exchange?

From what i've seen there is a huge discrepancy between how SCOM works and how Exchange monitors work. They don't seem to integrate well, at all. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting Exchange 2013 monitors to work properly in SCOM? Is this my error as a user, or is it just bad software

I have a fresh installation of Exchange 2013 installed on Windows 2012 and the problem is that Outlook 2007 and 2010 which is installed on Windows XP keeps asking for password.

The problem occurs only on Windows XP while on Windows 7 is working fine.

Any help will be appreciated!

Hi, all

I have Exchange Server 2013 and SCOM 2012 installed. I have imported Exchange Server 2013 Management Pack to SCOM 2012. Now I have a question that when there is a service not healthy, I can find the red alert in my alert view with the Exchange 2013 server, but after the service is healthy automatically, the red alert is still there. I can only make it become green healthy status after reseting the healthset status in the healthset explorer.

Does anyone know how to make the server become green healthy status automatically after the monitor is healthy?

Thank you.

I am trying to find a script that will allow me to add an additional email address to everyone in the company in the format of:

firstname.lastname@domain.com

I do not want this to be the default address, and I don't want to lose the addresses already assigned to the account.

I have found a lot of questions similar to this one in the forums, and one that seems to be exactly what I want, but it might be dated as it isn't working when I save it as addaddress.ps1 and then run it from the Exchange Management Shell. 

The script I found that is supposed to to exactly what I'm looking for was found in this post:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bd96d066-fd45-4395-bfb5-ab907396d8a3/exchange-2007-ps-command-to-add-firstnamelastnamemydomaincom-smtp-address?forum=exchangesvrgenerallegacy

After initially migrating from an Exchange 2007 to 2013 (CU1 was the initial install) and then upgrading to CU3, we are facing a lot of errors in the eventlog.

The system is operational and the errors does not seem to affect user experience, BUT it is filling up the monitoring system (SCOM) and basically making it impossoble to monitor. When displaying the 'ManagedAvailibility --> Monitoring' log, these errors seems to be reoccuring for 9 different events (the text is basically the same on all and Get-ServerHealth reports unhealthy on the following as well)

This is the HealthReport output, but I am unable to get anything 'sane' from the details....

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.

Hi,

I'm trying torestore amailboxfrom adatabaserecovery,but after Irun the command, the status ofRestorealways stays inQueuedand does not change.

Vanderlei

I have 4 exchange 2013 servers.  2 cas and 2 mailboxservers.  When trying to access powershell on the second mailbox server I get the following error.  Also, since I can access the mailbox server I cannot access ECP, but I can access powershell on the other three servers.

Things that I've tried:
Made sure that the Kerbauth.dll is in native mode.
Bindings are correct on web sites

Error Message:

Hi, I have a problem with accessing OWA from a CAS server. exchange 2007

This is my setup

Site A - Ex1 (CAS,Hub,mbx)

Site B - Ex2 (CAS,Hub,mbx)

If user1 mailbox is on EX1, if I access OWA from EX1 everything works fine.

If I access user1 mailbox from Ex2, I get the following error.

Outlook Web Access is not available. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization and tell them the following: There is no Microsoft Exchange Client Access server that has the necessary configuration in the Active Directory site where the mailbox is stored.

Hi, can someone please help me out with what is probably a really simple, but extremely frustrating issue I am having with Exchange 2013 ECP.

I have just installed the Ex 2013 into a new Forest to test the platform.

I only have the administrator account active with a mailbox.

my issue is that when I try to access <cas>/ecp I am provided with the configuration options for the Administrator Mailbox only. Ie I have no ability to Manage the Exchange Organisation.

With a mailbox enabled Administrator how does ECP distinguish between my mailbox administration vs Organisation Administration? How do I toggle between them?

Currently I am only able to access the configuration details for the Administrator mailbox.

I tried to create an additional "exchangeadmin" which I made a member of the Exchange Organisation Management Group, but I keep getting access denied when trying to login to ECP. I assume that this account needs to be mail enabled.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a customer whose domain is abc.com.
I set abc.com as BypassedSenderDomains in ContentFilterConfig and BypassedSenderDomains in SenderIDConfig but they still not able to send emails to our domain users.
Their emails will go into the Quarantine Mailbox.

I thought used BypassedSenderDomains so avoid customers' emails being blocked or quarantine.

Can anyone help me? thanks.
