Add an existing exchange database

$
0
0

Exchange 2010 stand alone, no DAGs. - I have created all new databases on new partitions for our company and moved all users to the appropriate datastores, users are working fine.  Due to a Unity error I need to put one old database back in, the files and paths are still there (I never deleted them) but I'm wondering if I can create a new database using these files and paths that still exist?

Thanks,

Tom


Where can i see if mail is flowing through server?

$

Our engineer has left the company and I have been (thrown into) handed over the reins.

I am a bit new at the more complex Exchange stuff.

We are on Exchange 2010.  We have an external email address that we use and own at our company.  The mail does not get stored on our server but "bounces off of or flows through" via SMTP (hope that makes sense).  We are concerned that the mail is building up.  I can use the Queue viewer to see email flow but it look like it is all internal email and not this other address that is for external users only.

How can i view or verify that those messages are hitting our smtp and going out?

thank you in advance and early apologies if I screwed up any of the terminology here.

Do I need SAN certificate?

$

We are transitioning from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and it appears I may not be able to use my current single namespace SSL cert that was signed by GeoTrust.  We do not use OWA, ActiveSync and don't plan to have Exchange 2003 coexist with 2010.  We only use Exchange for POP3 and internal mailboxes.  Can I get away with a single namespace SSL cert or will I still need a SAN cert?

Priority on CAS servers in CAS Array

$

I am using single CAS array with 4 CAS servers with different IP addresses and we do not have NLB in our site.

my issue is, for some reason 1st and 2nd servers are down state. But now my all requests hitting to 1st and 2nd server and after that it is not connecting to 3 and 4 servers.

my question now.

1. why it is not re-directing reqesuts to next server CAS03 & CAS04 server in the same array. any advise?

2. is there any attribute to change priority on SCP level?

( I dont want to change 1 and 2 server IP address to pointing to 3 and 4 servers. It is not right way to fix this issue)

Want to setup TLS communication for specific domain

$

Hi All,

We have Exchange 2010 SP3 configured in our network with all roles in one box with NO Edge Transport role installed.We are using HUB Transport to route all e-mails.We have a MX configure in third-party environment in that all incoming emails route from that third-party to our exchange server after spam filtering each emails.

We are using our send connector to send all inbound and outbound emails using DNS. This is a little background of my exchange environment.

Now one of our client want to setup TLS communication between their domain and our domain.My questions is how we can configure this in my exchange server.I want my other emails to not use TLS I only want for that particular domain.

We are using our own SSL certificate configure in Exchange server I don,t know we need any other certificate for TLS or not.

Can anybody guide me  what I need to setup this.What is other requirements or changes I need to do in my network.Any step by step guide to go ahead !

Thanks

MessageRateLimit

$

Does anyone know how the value for MessageRateLimit for each user is calculated within Exchange 2010 and how it can be monitored?

Even though we have this throttling policy, I'd like to be able to track which accounts are approaching, reached and over this limit.

Conditionally Rewrite From & Reply-To?

$
0
0

Here is the situation I'm in:  I have a client who maintains username@companyA.comand they own the domain companyB.com however there is no "infrastructure" (no Exchange server) set up specifically forcompanyB.com.  My client needs to be able to have the end users within it's company (companyA.com) add a specific word or phrase to the Subject (or Body) line of the Outgoing email (they are only concerned with outgoing, incoming is not used) that triggers the Exchange 2010 servers to rewrite the header From and Reply-To username@companyA.comwith username@companyB.com but this re-write should ONLY occur if the user places the key word/phrase in the Subject (or Body).

I have attempted using Transport Rules and the New-AddressRewriteEntry cmdlet however each seems to have a limitation.  From what I can tell Transport Rules cannot re-write the From/Reply-To fields and New-AddressRewriteEntry cannot be conditionally triggered based on message content.

So to recap:

User sends email outside the organization: From and Reply-To remain username@companyA.com

User sends email outside the organization WITH "**KeyWord**" in the Subject or Body: From and Reply-To change tousername@companyB.com automatically.

Any advise on how this could be done WITHOUT coding a new Mail Agent?  I don't have the programming knowledge to code a custom Agent... I can use any function of Exchange Management Shell or Console.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!!


No message routing or migrations within the site from Exchange 2007 to 2013

$

Hey all, hope this is just something simple I missed, but I'm at a loss of where to go.

We have multiple sites and in the process of migrating from Exchange 2007 to 2013.  Our first 2013 servers (a DAG pair) are in our main corporate site.  They function fine, routing messages to the Exchange 2007 servers in the same site with no problems.  We've got about 50 users on the new servers and several hundred on the old ones still.  

A remote site has an Exch 2007 server that is going out of warranty and has some hardware issues, so we built a new Exchange 2013 server to replace it (in the same site).  Unfortunately, the two servers within that site won't route messages to each other and I can't migrate within the site.

If I migrate users from the 2007 server back to our corporate office it works fine.  If I migrate from the 2007 to the new 2013 server in the same site, it fails the migration batch, usually after 24 hours.  It says "Syncing" until it fails.  

Also, messages sent between test accounts on the two servers get sent to our main corp site, then back to the destination server at the remote, even though they're in the same site.

The servers just don't seem to want to talk to each other and I'm at a bit of a loss on what to look for.  Can someone get me pointed in the right direction?

Dears,

I have the following case:

I want to create a complains email address on exchange 2010, this email address for manager and users will send complains to it. The manager don’t want to see the sender email address when sender send emails to complains email address. So how can I configure the complains email address on exchange 2010 and using outlook 2010 to not show the sender email address.

Thank you in advance for you Help,

Outlook says "Updating Address Book" At all times, manual download of OAB stops at "copying offline address template file" for one user

Hey guys,

So I'm having this issue where my OAB does not seem to be able to download correctly. Thankfully, I've tested most of the other computers in the office, and I'm the only one with the issue. So I don't think it has to do with the exchange configuration. But for what could be causing it, I'm at a loss. 

I will tell you that this all started when I reformatted my computer and re-installed office.  I even reformatted again, but the same issue is appearing for me. I also dis-joined the domain, then deleted my computer account from the domain. Same issue. The second time I reformatted I used a completely different name. 

Any ideas? I'm tearing my hair out, it seems like I've tried everything. 

Thanks!

exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 Federation

Hi all I am trying to federate between Three organisations

org A exchange 2007 with exchange 2010 cas

org B exchange 2010.

org C exchange 2010.

I cannot share my calendar from org A to Org B

I can share Org B to Org A and Org B to Org C.

when I try from Org A to Org B or Org C

When I try to share free/busy fro the exchange 2007 with exchange 2010 cas. The user gets an error

"calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network."

-availabilityaddressspace. Autodiscover works TXT works. I have added a user from Org B as a contact in exchange.

The exchange 2010 server is not the CAS server for the exchange environment and I is not a proxy for exchange 2007. Is this where I am failing ?

Filtering e-mails to specific domains

$

I was asked by our exec team to see if there is a way to have e-mails sent to and from a specific domain be also forwarded to another mailbox? Basically, it's a legal issue and they want to be able to see e-mails that are going to and coming from this specific company to ensure there isn't any inappropriate "insider" discussion going on. At least, that's the gist of it. I actually wasn't sure, so I've been searching a bit if this can be done. Such as, any e-mail that goes to domain.com also gets forwarded to say, our CFO mailbox (or a shared mailbox). Is this possible? If not through Exchange 2010, any third party software that people know of that can accomplish this?

Exchange 2010 OWA - Access denied on address book entries

$

Hi

We have a parent domain and a new child domain.  Exchange 2010 server is on the root domain.  users in child domain have mailbox accounts on that exchange 2010 server.

We have used custom attributes, to assign the child domain accounts, their own address book.

HOWEVER; when they log in to the OWA > go to address book > Look at entries in non-default address books > They do show up but you get "Access denied" when you click on them!!!  (Check the picture here).

Same thing doesn't happen for users on root domain.  There is a 2 way trust in between.

Error


I have already restarted the information store service + AD replication is fine + Exchange best practices returns clean results.  None of these helped.

Would you please advise?  thanks



Exchange 2010 SP3 Installation hangs Language Pack Hell

$

Ok, Exchange 2010 SP2 running in Hyper V on a 2012 server, and using the Server 2008 R2 as the OS, is hanging on the SP3 language pack for hours.  I tried rebooting the server because I am not a vampire and will continue to waste precious years of my life in this upgrade process as I age.  

I am currently running the SP3 install again, and hope to advise, but any word on why this would hang?

Again, guest OS is server 2008 R2 running in Hyper V on Server 2012 (how I roll), and has 8 GB of Ram and using Forefront for exchange.  

DAG does not work properly after a mailbox server is gone suddenly

$

Hi,

I have a problem with my 2-node exchange 2010 SP3 RU 2 DAG

i think it is set up correctly and the script written by Paul (exchangeserverpro.com - GetDAGHealth - http://exchangeserverpro.com/get-daghealth-ps1-database-availability-group-health-check-script/ ) and other scripts and commands show it all OK (just quorum group is failed which I studied a lot about it and seems it is not a problem) all others show healthy

when I myself restart a mailbox server (MB1 for example) all mailbox copies are activated on the other one and no problem is reported

but here is my sad story

these are all virtual machines in ESXi 5.0 infrastructure

the other day, one of storage servers  went away :( and so the mailbox1 machine was completely out of play. assume that you suddenly shutdown a mailbox server

I expected the DAG to help me but it did not

just he databases which were active on the MB2 were up but all the others down. unmounted or in unknown state

i tried a lot to make the mailbox2 host the databases which were active on the failed machine

but it said failed failed and failed ..

then i went to shell and tested everything

once it said you need to use -skipactivecopychecks once said -skiplags once said need to update index and ..

but none of them worked and this was all with some similar error that said : the service ... is not started or cannot be found in mailbox1 server... Oh come on man ! i know this ! the mailbox is totally vanished and gone and i expect you to take over and make all databases activated on yourself but .. no chance :(

so i want to know is anything wrong here ?

is the quorum group failed important ?

how on earth i should recover from such a situation in which the other mailbox is totally destroyed and no ping is available, no service on it and nothing, nothing ...

and if it can be done automatically, so much better and if cannot be, how should i do it manually when i tried all the ways, switches, EMC, EMS and all said the service .. cannot be found, accessed , .. on the other mailbox server (the failed one which hosted the active copy of some data bases) ..

Thanks so much

and by the way this is the error (as u see, it is always looking for the service and copy status on the destroyed mailbox and as i said, skipactivecopychecks and .. goes to skiplags, update and index and always again error about not able to contact mailbox1)

Summary: 1 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
