Set out of office power shell does not display automatic replies are enabled in outlook 2013

Hi

I have recently configured an orchestrator runbook for a customer which sets the out of office for a user by using the powershell cmdlet. This works as expected for Outlook 2010 however with Outlook 2013 when a user opens the application they are given no indication that an out of office message has been applied. The "Automatic replies are being sent" bar appears as expected when using Outlook 2010.

Customers Exchange version is 14.3.123.3 (Exchange 2010 SP3)

Please advise.

User Account changing positions exchange outlook folders needs to move to the new user account

I have an executive assistant that is moving to another EA position in the company. Her mailbox is structured with 3 or 4 hundred folders in her in box. The person that was in the position she is moving to retired so she has been logging in to that account and doing the same thing to her in box.

When she does move to this position she is going to want to move the files from the retired account to her account and move the files in her account to the new hires account when they are hired.

My question is what is the best way to handle this situation? Move mailboxes somehow? Export and import pst or csv?

Office 2010 EA that is moving Office 2013 on the EA that has retired. The mailboxes are on an exchange 2010 on site server

Thanks in advance for any help.

Stop "Allow Automatic Forward" in our Exchange 2010 Organization

$
0
0

All,

We have "Allow Automatic Forward" checked in Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Remote Domains (Default/*)>  Message format.

We are proposing unchecking that box, but I would like to know the impact of that change. We want to stop users from automatically forwarding emails outside of our organization. We realize users need to manually forward emails, we just want to stop it from happening automatically.

My question is - what is going to happen when we uncheck that box? Will users with existing auto-forward rules all of a sudden start receiving rejection notices? Will the auto-forward rules they have created continue working until we intervene, and this change will only prevent new auto-forward rules from being created?

Also, we have a 2003 Exchange organization in another Active Directory site. Will this change affect them?

Patching Exchange 2010

$

I have just taken over administration of an environment that has an exchange server running Exchange 2010 on Windows Server 2008R2. The windows portion of the server does not have SP1 installed and there appear to be few if any patches installed for exchange, it is not at SP1 even. Obviously I need to install SP1 for Windows 2008R2 first and get all the windows updates up to date, my concern is patching exchange. The environment, like all I assume, is very email dependent and they are sensitive to downtime and email interruptions, the exchange server is a virtual server running on VMware 4.0, I do not have the luxury of a test environment unfortunately. Can I go ahead and install Exchange 2010 SP3 once I have SP1 for Windows and all the windows patches installed? Or would it be better to first install SP1 for Exchange then move to SP3? This is a single Exchange server environment with about 50 mailboxes.

SBS Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 - Coexist

I'm in the process of decommissioning Exchange 2003, but when the Information Store is turned off, the Public Folders that were replicated to the Exchange 2010 no longer receive mail.  I've used the Powershell scripts to remove the replicas after confirming they were replicated, but this problem still exist.

Also, even though my router forwards all e-mails to the Exchange 2010 Server, mail only is delivered while the bridge between 2010 and 2003 exist, but the Information Store is stopped.  The mailboxes are all on the Exchange 2010 Server now.

Can you recieve emails (via twitter), if you do not have a twitter account set up?  I am asking because my husband swears he doesn't have one, yet in his email (which he knows i never check, i just happened to so i could get a pic off of it) a girl sent him an invitation to the m's (whatever that is) on twitter, and it was sent via twitter.  So I am wondering if he has a twitter account that I don't know about, or could it just be spam?  It wasn't in his spam, but I know they can leak through.  I ask him about it immediately and he swears he knows nothing about it?  I need answers, I don't know anything about twitter.

In 2003 we have several mailboxes that are used by departments, like HR or Sales mailboxes. On these we have set specific permissions for user that need and are allowed access to it. Now we have moved them from Exchange 2003 to 2010 and now these permissions are gone! How is that possible? Can this be fixed?

Relay IP Address

$

0

Hi,

I have just upgraded to Exchange 2010 and I am in the process of decommissioning Exchange 2003.

I have SMTP logging enabled on the Exchange 03 server and can see there is still quite a few mails being relayed off this server.

Some of the application on this servers that are relaying off Exchange 03 are quiet old and on Linux / Unix systems and at this point no one on my team knows how or where to change the relay server name.

So what I am planning is to decommission Exchange 2003 as per MS best practices then do the following so the old Unix/Linux server can still relay mail

  1.       Put an additional NIC on the Exchange 2010 CAS server and give this NIC the IP address of the Exchange 2003 server.
  2.       Add a DNS entry for the Exchange 2003 server and give it the IP of one of my Exchange 2010 CAS servers.

My question is - Is this a workable solution ?

Thanks


autodiscover 403 forbidden response

$

First off, I'm a college student working on a project for school and have pretty much been tossed into the deep end of exchange 2010.

I've managed to stumble my way through getting exchange working internally and externally by email clients, and OWA also works internally and externally. So thats good.

I was informed today that I can earn my team extra credit, if I can figure out how to get smartphones receiving email.

First of all, is this even possible without buying a certificate? Our instructor will not buy one, already asked.

Second, I have tried the exchange connectivity tool. I know the first two connection types won't work because it says it needs certificats/ssl. The second two are what I am wondering about.

I have an @ record in godaddy for autodiscover.domain.com pointing to the same IP that OWA connects to.

Using the exchange connectivty tool, I receive this error.

An HTTP 403 forbidden response was received. The response appears to have come from Unknown. Body of the response: You do not have permission to view this directory or page.

Also, when I bring up the autodiscover page, it asks for a username/password, but when I enter it it will not take it. Mail works internal/externally, but the autodiscover page won't take my credentials.

I've been reading for hours each day, and I can't seem to figure out my problem.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


understanding (default) archiving and retention policies and tags

$
0
0

I am taking a look at archiving and policies and tags and am a bit confused. 

If I look at the "Default Archive and Retention Policy", I see a lot of Tags assigned to this policy. On the Mailboxes tab, I see no mailboxes listed.

  1. although no mailboxes are listed in there, are all users that (will) have archive enabled still using this default Policy?
  2. I see a lot of Personal Tags in there assigned. 1 Month Delete, 1 Week Delete; Are all these tags active, or is the list you see there all tags that a user CAN personally use and assign to his folder?
  3. For example, what does the tag do: "1 Month Delete", Personal Tag, Delete and Alllow Recovery, Age limit for Retention 30, Retention Enable True?
  4. there is also a tag called "Default 2 year move to archive", with type All other folders in the mailbox. Does this mean that all users that have this policy assigned, that all their mail older than 2 years will be moved to their archive? Or can the user enable this tag?

The longer I look at this list, the less I understand.... Maybe someone can give a short explanation?

Thanks!

Prevent Inbox from being archived

$

Dear.

We want to create an Archive and Retention policy to archive the entire mailbox with a 30 day time limit, except from the Inbox folder (1 year).

Archiving works fine once enabled on a mailbox, however, the Inbox items are also archived when older than 30 days, despite the Tag we created for the inbox.

For troubleshooting and to exclude influence from the Default Retention policy, we removed the default retention policy.

I have only one custom retention policy with two retention policy Tags:
Type “Inbox”, Move To archive, 360 days, True
Type “All other folders in mailbox”, Move to Archive, 7days, True

But Inbox also archived after 30 days.

The MS doc says that you can disable the tag and link it to the retention policy. If you do that, the folder will not be processed by the Managed Folder Agent and therefore not being archived.

I tried everything, without success.

Has someone an idea how to exclude Inbox from being archived without the end-user intervention (he can add a personal tag to the inbox).

Thanks for the feedback.
Regards.
Peter

Long queue processing

$
0
0

Hello,

first I'll describe the situation:
- we have test environment which sends e-mails to non existing e-mail addresses
- we have catch_all mailbox (using catchallagent.codeplex.com )
- on that mailbox we have rule for incoming mail that redirects all mail with sender containing '@domain.com' to another mailbox and deletes the e-mail (put it in trash)
- on both mailboxes we have retention policy which clears trash after 1 day (no possbility to set it to shorter)
- volume of these test e-mail is 3000 / day (one shot is from 10 to 20 e-mails at the same time)
- we have Forefront for Exchange
- both mailboxes are on the same database and it's separate database from rest of company e-mails
- hardware wise it's 2 cores and 16GB ram, only exchange and forefront on this virtual machine

Now the problem is that queue often hangs on redirecting the e-mails (from catch_all mailbox to second one) and takes very long time to process, sometimes errors also if you try to access said mailboxes through OWA it's impossible (timeout). Which in the end leads sometimes to hanging of the queue and requires Transport Service restart.

The error on messages is 4.3.2 432 STOREDRV.Deliver; recipient thread limit exceeded.
We applied the fix suggested, adding:
<add key="RecipientThreadLimit" value="2" />
<add key="MaxMailboxDeliveryPerMdbConnections" value="3" />
To EdgeTransport.exe.config but it didn't help. We also tried increasing the values by +1 to 3 and 4.

Restarting Transport Service is temporary solution.
Any advice is very welcome on this problem.

Best regards,

Wojciech Iwański
