Hi all,

I'm trying to create a server side rule to reply to all incoming mails (to a specific mailbox of course).

I have looked at Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration which basically does OOO and New-InboxRule which seems to do all the usual rules *except* for auto-replies.

An OOO is not viable as I need the rule to fire for every incoming mail.

Is there another commandlet that can do this?

Many thanks in advance :-)

Edit: I know that I could set this up in Outlook, but we get requests like this fairly regularly, and a PowerShell command would be much faster

Hello Exchange Experts

We have 14 month limit on resource room reservations..

Is there a way to get a reminder that recurring meetings are about to expire so that meeting organizer can extend the reservation if required

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Our majority owner works at our sister company and we are discussing a retention policy for them. Each of the company's host their own on-premise Exchange topology and federation is not in use.

He has expressed a desire to have all messages he sent and which are still recoverable to be made unrecoverable after say 90 days, on all mailboxes we control. Another option he mentioned was messages only sent to specific e-mail domains. At this time I'm not clear if that would apply to only mailboxes at the sister company, or to ours as well.

I'd want the solution to be completely server-side so the staff do not have a way to workaround keeping the messages in any manner. Can this be accomplished, and if yes, can you explain the options?

I'm a little puzzled.

Someone deleted distr. group. So i've admon log search. I found the name of the user. The pproblem is that user doesn't have ECP. Also user doesn't have access to EMC or EMS. Even assuming that user might of been one of owners of the group is there a way that the user was able to delete it without using above tools?

Hi everybody,

When i send a mail with a delay with a different sender-adress it always changes the adress to the exchange-account (there is an exchange and a pop account configured in outlook 2010).

There is an adress for internal and one for external purposes. The internal is an exchange-account, the external is a pop-account. It doesnt matter which adress is defined as default adress in the account settings - every time i send with an extra delay it will be send from the internal (exchange) account.

Even if i open the mail from the outbox ,edit the sender-adress afterwards and klick send again the adress changes to the internal (exchange).

Is delayed sending only possible from my exchange-account ? Or is anything else causing this problem ?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Harald

I have a user who would like to share out some folders. They have applied categories to the email within that folder.

They would like the users with whom the folder is shared with to be able to see the categories which were applied to the mailbox items.

My understanding is that the categories are stored in the Calendar.

I have shared both the email folder and the calendar to the user yet, the categories don't show up.

However If I give "Full Access Permission" the categories show up.

Problem is: My user does not want others to see any other folders than several specific ones.

Exchange 2010 published through Forefront TMG 2010

Recently upgraded domain level to Windows 2012 R2

Since Domain upgrade all new Outlook 2013 installations on Windows 8.1 Enterprise cannot connect.  May not be related to domain upgrade but that's the only thing that has changed.  All existing Outlook clients can still connect including Outlook 2013 clients on Windows 8.1 Enterprise.  To put it another way, All machines that had an existing outlook profile can still connect whether internally or externally without any issue.  Active Sync and OWA work fine.  All new machines get the same error at the log in phase of the profile set up.  This happens internally and externally whether using Https or a VPN connection.  I have tried manual setup, with or without Https and nothing works.  Reinstalling Outlook gives same results.

Remote connectivity Analyzer fails with the following error but as I say Outlook Anywhere is working for all users just not on the new machines.

Hello,

From what I see, user's manager's team calendar is automatically pushed to the users reporting to a manager. The user I'm working with needs to have the team calendar of another manager than hers, so I went into that manager's Outlook and gave  permissions on his team calendar to the user, when I go in her Outlook 2010 and go to open shared calendars I don't see it.

Hello

My customer have a local Exchange 2010 SP3 installation. 

They use a 3-party line of business application that tries to send an email with an attachment to another internal user.
The applications uses API to open a new mail in Outlook 2010 where the email is ready to send with the recipient, body and attachment. 

If the user presses send. They get a NDR right away. But if they remove the recipient address and type it manually again it works. 

The NDR says

Ive read up on Content conversion limit(s) and tried setting different limits on my transportconfig, transportserver, receiveconnector, sendconnector etc. Without any luck.

I see that alot of other users that get a similar NDR. Have descriptions that specify more detailed error reasons. Like for example to many attachments or to large header. But mine don't.

So i activated Pipeline tracing and content conversation tracing. 
This is my output

Im completely stuck and appreciate every input.  

Hi, I'm having issues with Autodiscovery (externally) and Outlook Anywhere for some users on our Exchange 2010 (SP3, RU2) setup. Just for information, we have Exchange servers at two AD sites (same forest / domain) with each site having 2 combined client access / hub transport servers and 3 mailbox servers (with 2 stretched DAG's across both sites). Site A is internet facing, but site B isn't.

Autodiscovery

Internally, it's working fine (using the Test E-mail AutoConfiguration option within Outlook 2010). But externally (using the Microsoft TestConnectivity site), autodiscovery fails, returning the following:

Attempting to send an Autodiscover POST request to potential Autodiscover URLs.
Autodiscover settings weren't obtained when the Autodiscover POST request was sent.
+Additional Details
   Elapsed Time: 1783 ms.
   + Test Steps
 The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer is attempting to retrieve an XML Autodiscover response from URL   https://autodiscover.company.com/AutoDiscover/AutoDiscover.xml for user test.user@company.com.
 The Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer failed to obtain an Autodiscover XML response.
  +Additional Details
  An HTTP 401 Unauthorized response was received from the remote Unknown server. This is usually the result of an incorrect username or password. If you    are attempting to log onto an Office 365 service, ensure you are using your full User Principal Name (UPN).
  Headers received:
  Content-Type: text/html
  Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
  WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate,NTLM,Basic realm="autodiscover.company.com"

The odd thing is, if I browse to the autodiscover file location (externally), then I'm prompted for credentials. When I enter the same credentials that I input into the Microsoft connectivity analyser, I do actually get the correct https status 600 response.

Also, within EMS, when I run "Test-OutlookWebServices" on Client Access servers in site B, I see the following results...

RunspaceId : 5c80ec49-f6f8-4f7a-ae63-4ed61a3c966e

             or installing a correct SSL certificate.

However - I can't see where Exchange has pulled the "...domain.local" address from for Autodiscovery. Both Get-AutodiscoveryVirtualDirectory and Get-ClientAccessServer both report the correct URLs/URIs with the FQDN of Company.Com (which are on the GoDaddy certificate we use both internally and externally).

Outlook Anywhere

Whether my issues with Outlook Anywhere are related to Autodiscover, I'm not sure. Users who's mailbox is located at Site A (internet facing) are fine, and Outlook Anywhere works great. But users who's mailbox is at Site B, can't use Outlook Anywhere (Starting Outlook in RPCDiag mode shows that it tries to connect, and sometimes establishes a connection for a couple of seconds, then disconnects completely).

Running "Test-OutlookConnectivity -Protocol:http" on a Client Access server at Site B, passes all but the last scenario (Mailbox::Logon), which throws up the following error:

RunspaceId                  : 5c80ec49-f6f8-4f7a-ae63-4ed61a3c966e

Testing Outlook Anywhere using Microsoft RCA throws up the error:

An HTTP 401 error was received...

Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if I've missed any info!

Thanks

But on new2010, the Public Folder Management Console doesn't show any "Default Public Folders," and the EMS command responds only with IPM_SUBTREE.  Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server old2010 -resultsize unlimited shows all folders; Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server new2010 -resultsize unlimited shows none.  If I change the default public folder database of the mailbox databases on new2010, the Public Folders all disappear from my Outlook installation, and come back if/when I reverse that.

I checked replication schedule - it says replicate always.  The actual files for the PF database on new2010 exist, and have recent timestamps and are about half the size of the database files on old2010.

Why wouldn't the data be replicating?  What do I look for in logs?

We have a strange address list/book that is appearing on accounts for only two people. Myself and one other person. Not sure if is a "ghost" type list that migrated over to Exchange 2010 from 2003 or what it is

When looking at it on Outlook, Mac Mail, and any activesync product, it appears but just for the two of us. I have been through every area of Exchange I can dig but cant seem to find this anywhere. It has alot of items in which but we know it isnt used because the info is years old.

Any help to remove this is much appreciated

Thanks

How can I grant mailbox folder like doctor's Outlook 2010 calendar to a cross-forest user like a receptionist. 

The reception accepts and manages all booking for about 10 doctors and they used to work perfectly.  When reception complained that she started seeing Busy status for say 3 out of 10 doctors, I noticed the other 7 working calendars have DomainB\Reception explicitly added on the Calendar permission while the 3 faulty ones don't.

When I tried:

Add-mailboxfolderpermission -Id 'DomainADoctor1:\calendar' -user 'DomainB\Reception' -accessrights editor

I simply get the error "The user "DomainB\Reception" is either not valid SMTP address, or there is no matching information."

Obviously, the cross-forest permission still works but I cannot make the powershell command to work.  I have also tried the ExFolder utility to no avail.  The old Exch admin has left the company.  We use Exchange 2010 SP2

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi Exchange experts , 

Please what is the most efficient way to grant read-only permission to a shared mailbox for a user. The user only needs to review the shared mail box but not full permission .

I know Full access and send as permission could be given through EMC but how do i configure read ONLY permissions. 

More Information

I read in exchange 2010 that it is not possible to use ADUC to assign read permission through the security tab.

Could someone please point me to the correct procedure?

Thanks Guys

Regards, MassonTech

Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity "DB_Name" -RpcClientAccessServer exsmtp.contoso.com

Exchange server "exsmtp.contoso.com" was not found. Please make sure you typed the name correctly.

the server does not exist as it's only a placeholder for all the IPs

We recently migrated a extremely large shared mailbox from 2003 to 2010.  Currently this mailbox sits alone in its own database.  Since then we have been getting the following alerts from SCOM for this database.  RPC Average Latency - sustained for 10 minutes.  Any thoughts on how to proceed and troubleshoot?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm running exchange 2010Sp2 rollup5 ver2, the mailbox database in question is in a DAG.  The databases are being backed up by commvault. 

So, I received a request to restore a couple mailboxes from 10 days ago and export the mailbox to PST file for archiving. 
How would you go about the restore.  I'm thinking the database needs to be offline, so I don't mistakenly overwrite my production databases.

Where should backup guy restore the database/log file (completely separate server from my mailbox servers?)
Once database/logs are restored, what is the procedure to make the mailboxes visible
Once the mailboxes are visible, what is best way to restore one to a PST file?

thanks in advance for all your help.
