How to Manage Unsubscribe Responses in Exchange 2010

$
0
0

The new Canadian law wrt Anti-Spam is causing me some heartache. We don't do mass emailing (No common Subscriber list) but our Lawyers insist that we must have a the Unsubscribe mechanism in place (Or face a possible $10 Million Dollar fine) and a method to manage the unsubscribe responses. Inserting a Unsubscribe link into users outlook signature block is easy. However I am hitting a wall when trying to manage the unsubscribe responses so that when a user sends out an email, if that email included an address that unsubscribed earlier to block it at the exchange server. I have a possible solution but it may quickly become unmanageable.

I use Exchange 2010

I Created a Contact labeled "Unsubscribed" and added several test email addresses as secondary emails. I then created a Transport Rule to Identify the "Unsubscribed" Contact and redirect to a monitored mailbox. In testing this works. I am however concerned that this method would soon overwhelm me as adding secondary emails is labor intensive.

Is there a better and easier way to do this?

Cuurently all the DB1, DB2, DB3 DB4 are mounted in INDLBMB02, but my need is DB1 and DB3 should always mounted in INDLBMB01. i checked the checked the activation preference but no help .


Exchange Console & Powershell Not Working - Access Denied

So have been running Exchange 2010 for several months and had another admin try to install OCS 2007 on the same server only to find out OCS has issues if on the same server as Exchange 2010. We removed it and have OCS 2007 installed on a separate server now but ever since I get the following errors:

EMC - Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic. It was running the command "Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true -SuppressError $true".

EMS - Connecting to remote server failed with the following error message : Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) {}, PSRemotingTransportExxception

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PSSessionOpenFailed

Please be gentle with me as I am new to Exchange and this is my first Server 2008 box as well. I am using the same user account to manage the Exchange server as I have always done and have tried using the Administrator account for the domain as well. Any help? Anyone have a way to determine if OCS 2007 is completely uninstalled and not causing issues? Thanks!

Outlook clients pointing to OLD exchange server after cross-forest migration (2007 to 2010)

$

Good day,

We started a cross forest migration from exch 2007 to exch 2010, we followed the Microsoft procedure (prepare-move-request -> ADMT for user migration -> new-move-request), everything worked just fine... Outlook clients automatically changed the setting to point to the CASARRAY, free/busy worked perfect, GALs sync with no problems...

In the last month we were forced to change the SMTP primary addresses of users, this brought a lot of issues regarding the autodiscover service because of a mismatch between the Exchange published URLs and the SMTP domain in the user's mail address....

The worst issue came when we restarted the user's migration... after a user was migrated; the Outlook profile couldn't connect to the new server (an autodiscover problem), the only way to solve this was creating a new profile, but then the free/busy was not unavailable.....

Our solution was to create an exclusive new virtual directory in IIS for autodiscover service (using the new SMTP domain and also a new SSL certificate)... we follow the steps provided in this linkhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb310762(v=exchg.141).aspx

Again, everything worked just fine for our already migrated users.... but when we resumed the users migration a new problem appeared... Outlook clients are not able to send emails to any other migrated user.... why?? we found the OAB in these Outlook profiles are still pointing to the 2007 Exchange server...  also, when we hit the "connection status" in the clients there are 3 entries... 2 of them show a connection to CASARRAY (type=mail), and another one pointing to the OLD exchange 2007 server (type=directory)... again our only solution is to create a new Outlook profile......

Does anyone have an idea of what's missing?? we have tried rebooting clients, restarting System Attendant service, hitting the "repair" option in Outlook profile... and nothing works but creating the new profile... we obviously don't want to create new profiles for the remaining users to be migrated.

****Note: Our users' PCs are not joined to any domain.

Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

Best regards!

Send Connector Question

$
0
0

I'm trying to work out the routing of a message based on the source of an NDR when one of our internal smart host servers was completely down.

Someone set three send connectors up in our Exchange 2010 environment.

The 1st send connector is set to route external mail to an external smart host called Mimecast using a * address space, Mimecast handle journaling, anti-spam and stuff like that.

The 2nd send connector is set to route anything with a "wcs.companyname.com" address to an internal smart host handling email filing to our document management system.

The 3rd send connector is set to handle fax related traffic ("send.fax address space") to an internal fax server.

Over the holidays the server/smarthost that handles wcs.companyname.com traffic was unavailable, and the few people who were in the office who tried sending some messages intended to be filed using the wcs.companyname.com address had NDR messages after a 48 hour period, but not from Exchange, but rather Mimecast.

What I'm trying to determine. If the wcs.companyname.com send connector could not contact the document management smart host server and could not service messages based on wcs.companyname.com would Exchange 2010 attempt to use the main send connector servicing all other external mail then Mimecast tried to process the messages but were unable to and so throwing back an the NDR to the sender?.

Looking at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998662(v=exchg.141).aspx should the wcs.companyname.com send connector only attempt to route wcs.companyname.com email and fire back an NDR after a period of time and not try routing through other send connectors?

Many thanks,


Adding Hub Transport/Client access server

$

Hello all,

Need a little advice as I've never done this and I want to avoid possible downtime if I do something incorrectly. Our setup is Exchange 2010 Enterprise Version 14.2 (Build 247.5)

We have 2 physical front end servers that have the Hub Transport and Client Access role. We have 6 mailbox servers that are virtual. We want to virtualize the physical systems which we will P2V them at some point here. In addition we want to add 2 virtual systems and install the Hub Transport and Client Access role on those. That will leave us with 4 HubTransport/Client Access servers and 6 mailbox database servers.

My question is how do I successfully add these 2 new HUB/CAS servers? Once exchange and the roles are installed, what steps do I need to follow to make sure these new HUB/CAS servers are working the way they should? Also, is it simple to add these 2 new servers or is it recommended to do it a different way?

Thanks

Allowing an external user to send on our behalf

Hi,

We need to provide an external vendor permissions to send email to our customers on behalf of us. This external company ABC will send emails to our customers from their servers using the alias saveatxyzdotca (where XYZ is my company). I would prefer to avoid using OWA as a means of achieving this. Is there another way in which we can do this? I tried settin up an external contact - such as aatabcdotca - and then try to give this mail contact Send As permissions on the saveatxyzdotca mailbox. However when I try to search for the external contact (aatabcdotca) in the list it does not show up. I am using the EMC to assign the permissions. Any ideas on how we can achieve this?

Thank you in advance.

Pre-Seed a Database During 2003 to 2010 Migration?

$

I am about to begin the design phase of a 2 part project: (1) move the mailboxes of 5,000 users from a branch office in China to our mail facility in Europe and (2) upgrade from Exchange 2003 to 2010.

The WAN speed between sites is slow.  Is it possible to pre-seed the mailbox databases in the existing 2010 European servers by backing up the databases and then shipping the hard drives to Europe.  Is there anything I can do besides building new 2010 servers in China and then moving the user mailboxes slowly across the WAN to the European mailbox servers?

Thanks,

Exchange DAG Failover Logs

Hi

I am investigating an issue with a third party mobile solution.

I need to find out the failover history for the past few days of a Exchange Database in a DAG.

Anyone know where i can see this?

If this history is not available, then last fail over time would also help.

Thanks

New-MailboxExportRequest : Couldn't find system mailbox 'SystemMailbox{xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxx}' in Active Directory.

$

I've been working with Microsoft for nearly a month on this issue and we just aren't making progress.

I have an RBAC role group that contains the Mailbox Import Export role. The user is assigned. The user is also a member of Domain Users -- and no other groups.

All we know, at this moment, is if we add the user to the Exchange Admins group, the New-MailboxExportRequest works. Without that group, he gets that error that the SystemMailbox could not be found.

It seems like an AD issue --- some rights are not being granted correctly? Or something is being denied?

The SystemMailbox that cannot be found is the one for the Database of the target mailbox we are trying to export. Somehow, the user who is trying to export doesn't seem to have access to the SystemMailbox on the other database.

Bearing in mind that this functions correctly if the user is in the Exchange Admins group, it would appear that on the Exchange side, all the parts are at least working correctly. The problem must be specific to some kind of AD rights for the user.

My question, more than anything, that Microsoft cannot answer is this:

What rights --- exactly --- are required to do a New-MailboxExportRequest?

Assume that we have disabled / denied ALL rights across the board. Which would have to be set to Allow for this cmdlet to function? For the user & Exchange Trusted Subsystem (and whatever other account requires rights for this)?

Thanks!

https://company.com/EWS

https://company.com/autodicovery

https://company.com/RPC

We have defined ARR rule to use https://company.com/* .If we change this rule to just reflect https://company.com/owa or just https://company.com/ ARR does not process the request.Request your help on this.

Is there a way to block the above urls and only allow the OWA page from internet?

Exchange 2010 SP3 - Delayed emails with XLSM attachments...

$

Running Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 5.  Clients running Windows 7 and Office 2010 Pro Plus SP2.  Have one specific user / client that when sending emails with an XLSM attachment around 5:30AM, the email is delayed getting to the Exchange server and is delayed up to 16 hours.  Unfortunately, this is a random occurrence, and not necessarily easy to duplicate.

The Sent Items on the Outlook client reflect the correct sent time, but the Message Tracking Log on the Exchange server shows the server did not receive the email until approximately 12 to 16 hours later.

The desktop is a shared system and this issue appears to be isolated to the user's profile, AD account, or Exchange.  I've literally blown away the users local profile and reconfigured it with no resolution.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Which Get command will display all $True & $False parameters

$

Hi,

I am a newbie when it comes to commands in the EMC.  We have Exchange 2010.  I have 2 mailboxes that should do the same thing but they do not.  Both are calendar mailboxes (resource mailboxes I think maybe) and one mailbox is working correctly and the other is not.

I would like to go into the EMC and run some commands to compare the settings of both mailboxes.  However if I run the Get-Mailbox command I only get one line of info back. (I am not actually sure what the correct Get-Mailbox??? command is at this time, I have that on my work computer).

I would like to know what Get-Mailbox command will display all of the $True and all of the $False parameters.  I have seen these displayed on websites while trying to troubleshoot this issue, but I haven't seem the command posted that returns all of this information, I need that command!

I hope I made sense, I can explain further if needed.  Thanks in advance!
