Shared mailbox with items stuck in Outbox

$
0
0

Greetings,

I have a shared mailbox with +40 users accessing it on a daily basis, with full access/send as permissions. I am trying to figure out why some emails are "stuck" in the Outbox folder. These emails, however, do get sent out and most of them are copied in the Sent items folder. I have connected to the shared mailbox and watched the Outbox folder for over 15 minutes and while most of the emails do briefly appear in the Outbox, then disappear (which is normal), some get stuck there. And it is not affecting only one user, as I have enabled the auditing on that shared mailbox. My infrastructure consists of 2 mailbox servers (DAG) and 2 CAS servers (NLB). All clients are running Outlook 2010.

Any help and/or hints would be greatly appreciated.


Add Calendar grayed out for shared mailbox in OWA

I am using OWA  to open another mailbox on which I have full permissions. When I go to other mailbox's Calendar -> Share -> Add Calendar, I am seeing "Add Calendar" is grayed out. Is this the default behaviour with OWA or something is broken?

Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

Need Help! Exchange 2010 SP1 has 228,450 Log Files!

$
0

I came in to help a growing non-profit whose single Exchange 2010 server crashed last summer. They installed a new Exchange 2010 server last August.

They have the following problems:
1.       It has NEVER been backed up since the August installation.
2.       The server now has 228,450 log files that need to be rolled up.
3.       When I tested a backup, it failed with inconsistencies.
4.       The server is still at SP1 and ESEutil requires SP3 to scan a mounted database.
5.       I want to avoid dismounting their only database without having a good backup.
6.       The organization relies on this Exchange instance and cannot sustain downtime.
          - - - -  OUCH!  - - - -
7.       I’m thinking the lowest risk is to install a second database and migrate all mailboxes.
8.       Dismount the store and run ESEUtil on DB & Logs. Perform a backup to clean up logs.

I’m looking for your comments and suggestions to help resolve this situation.
Any help is much appreciated!

Or can i somehow transfer mail from pop3 mail server to users on Exchange Server with MS products without third party paid products ?


System Attendant - Exchange 2010 - homeMDB not set

$

I think I can ignore this but want to make sure. I've got a 4 server DAG with two multirole servers hosting  Public Folder servers   outside the DAG -all Exchange 2010- in co-existence with Exchange 2013- again a 4 server DAG.

The HomeMDB value is set for the system attendant on a couple of 2010 servers and blank on the others.  I know that 2010 doesn't use it anymore but I thought that Public Folders being legacy might need it. The setting is differnt between the servers.

1. Do I need to set it?

2. If so- which database do I set it to- anyone? There does not appear to be a mailbox and I'm not seeing any errors.

Regards

Tony


Powershell script or something to delete all contacts in a particular mailbox Exchange 2010 SP1

I have a mailbox withe over 370k contacts. Apparently the droid phone associated to the account decided to replicate all of her contacts 100x over. Is there a way to delete all of the contacts from a single mailbox? I don't want to delete her mailbox and I can't get into it via outlook because it crashes cached or un-cached.

This is Exchange 2010 SP1 any ideas would be great since I am sitting here deleting these manually through web mail (I was surprised I could even get to that.

Additional public folder on Exchange 2010

$

Hi,

I am currently running an Exchange 2010 server(EX01) and have set up three mailbox databases along with a public folder database called Public01. I am trying to figure out how I could create a second public folder to provide management for suppliers.

When I try to do this the obvious way which is creating a new public folder database through the EMC I get the following message on the final step: 

" A public folder database already exists on the server that you specified. Each server can contain a maximum of one public folder database. Public folder database: "Public01",Specified server: "EX01" "

What I learned from this is that each server can contain a maximum of one public folder database although my assignment is asking me to create an additional public folder. Am I missing something here?


Outlook 2016 Windows Security dialog box then need password on Exchange 2010

$

Odd problem with Outlook 2016 connected to Exchange 2010 SP3. When Outlook is in Cached mode, after Outlook is launched I get a "Windows Security" dialog box saying connecting to (email address) I can only press cancel as nothing happens otherwise.


Then down the bottom right in Outlook it'll say "Need Password"

I never actually get prompted for the password and simply clicking on Need Password will change the status to disconnected, then within 30 seconds it changes to Connected and Outlook starts syncing no problem. This happens every time Outlook is launched in cached mode. Setting Outlook to not used cached mode works perfectly - no boxes, no issues. There are no issues with OWA or activesync / devices.

The only 2 things I know Outlook does in cached mode is Public Folder hierarchy check and OAB sync. There WAS a problem with the Public Folder Database, and in the end it was removed and a new one created, and set as default against the Mailbox DB store. Outlook can now view PF folder structure now no problems. I have checked OAB syncing and permissions and it looks fine; downloading a full address book through Outlook goes through no issues. Connectivity analyzer finds no problems either with autodiscover etc.  Have tried turning off Public Folder OAB distribution too.

Tried turning off download shared mailboxes Outlook setting hasn't helped.

Tried on different Machines with Outlook 2016 as well as different mailboxes on the same server. Tried wiping out stored credentials with credential manger, deleting OST, re-creating Profiles and hasn't help so it has to be something on the Exchange server or some odd Outlook 2016 bug since there is no issues with Outlook 2010 or 2013.

I discovered doing an IISreset then starting Outlook works perfectly only the FIRST time, subsequent launches of Outlook 2016 fail to connect as it should (but will always connect after pressing cancel, then "need password" and waiting about 30 seconds).

I then narrowed it down further to the IIS MSExchangeServicesAppPool if I stop/start it then launch Outlook it connects fine the first time. If I do a recycle then Outlook will also connect fine the first time. So I have set it to auto recycle ever 60 minutes as a work around for now but has anyone got any suggestions as soon more users will have Outlook 2016 and will present more of an issue!



Content Index State on one server continually reverting to failed

$

One of my four Exchange 2010 servers keeps having all the databases on it going into a "failed" Content Index State. I've tried to repair with ResetSearchIndex.ps1 and the databases state healthy for a while, but it keeps going back to "failed."

Is there anything else I should be looking for? I don't see any log entries for permission errors and the server seems healthy otherwise, but due to a network outage over the weekend I have a need to redistribute the DBs back and I'd rather not have a failed content index hold that up.

Thanks in advance.

Cross-site CAS failover

$

0

Hi everyone!

We're currently running this Exchange 2010 topology:

Currently, all Outlook clients from both AD sites connects to RG1EX01 server through CAS arraycas-tdf1.ad.mirgor.com.ar (which points to RG1EX01 IP address).

We want to migrate RG1EX01 server to a virtual machine, so we need to make a CAS failover from RG1EX01 server to RG2EX01 server.

What should we do?

Should we move all DBs active copies to RG2EX01 and point all DBs RPCCas to cas-tdf2.ad.mirgor.com.ar and then shutdown RG1EX01 server?

Or should we move all DBs active copies to RG2EX01 and point cas-tdf1.ad.mirgor.com.arto RG2EX01 IP address, wait until every client refresh DNS cache and only then shutdown RG1EX01?

Another thing to have in mind is that all Internet mail goes through TABsite, which has an AD site link with RG1 site but not with RG2.

Thanks!!

I have been using 2010 Outlook for a long time now without send and/or receive problems. AFTER installing Windows 10, my problems started. Now it appears I am not connect to the Exchange Server 2010, so I cannot send emails all of a sudden.  Been working fine, but now it is not connecting.  Can anyone tell me how I can connect to the exchange server, so I can send emails. 

Note: Still receiving emails, but cannot send.  Paul Mann

Moving send connector to a new server

We're in the process of decommissioning an older Exchange 2010 server and moving everything to a new VM. I've moved mailboxes, client access, etc and all has been fine. I'm trying to move the send connector to the server server and it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried both changing the source server on teh existing connector and completely creating a new send connector with only the new server as the source and disabling the old connector. Mails continue to try to go out through the old server. With a new connector and the old one disabled, the messages just sit in the queue until I re-enable the old connector and then they go out again. Anything I'm missing here?

Correct me if I'm wrong please- but when migrating to Ex2013- the EX2013 OAB is the default for all mailboxes?. 

I've found that all the Ex2010 databases have been set to point to the old default OAB on2010 and its web enabled.

Looking to upgrade Exchange 2010 Version 14.02 to SP3 (and then 2013). Wanted some assistance.

I have found quite a bit of documentation on going from 2010 to 2013. But I haven't found as much material on going from 2010 14.02 (which is basically SP0) to SP3. I want to find out if there's anything besides just downloading the installer and basically clicking "next next next" involved with simply getting 2010 up to SP3 first before going to 2013. 
I have tried to find videos on Youtube but nobody is that far behind. The best I found was someone going form SP2 to SP3.

I have found some good videos for people going from 2010 to 2013 but I believe they are all SP3 at least.

Just looking to see where I can find this information. 

Thank you. 

Some Internal Outlook 2010 Clients defaulting to RPC/HTTPS proxy with "on slow connections, use http first" checkbox checked in Outlook, instead of TCP

$

Hello All.  I have a case open with Microsoft about this issue, but wanted to post it here in case anyone has seen this before.

Exchange version is 2010, SP3 RU10.  3 CAS Servers in an array, going through F5 load balancer.  Databases are in a 1 DAG configuration.  Overall Exchange health is good.

We have sporadic internal Outlook 2010 clients connecting via HTTPS instead of TCP, when the option "On slow connections, use http first.." is checked in Outlook.  I can reproduce this issue on my machine easily.  When I have the option"on FAST connections, connect via https first..." it connects via TCP.  When all options are unchecked, it connects via TCP.

 However, my test virtual machine with the same Outlook 2010 client, and same "on slow networks..." option checked, ALWAYS connects via TCP first. I can get my TEST client o connect via HTTPS only when the option "on FAST networks, connect via http first..." is checked.  

At first I would think Outlook is somehow seeing the network as slow and connecting via HTTPS...however, we have a 100Mbps link.  So speed isn't a factor.  

Why would outlook attempt HTTPS first for internal clients as opposed to TCP?  We've tried to create a new VIP on F5, but the results are the same. 

Any help is appreciated.

Hello

I have problem restore DAG. by

 - 1 Active Directory Site

 - 1 DAG

 - 3 Node expanding different data center

 - Note using DAC mode

When member of DAG down more 50 % (2 Node) database cannot mounted.

I want restore DAG in different data center not using DAC mode.

**I'm know have script for restore but my try find  but not found.

Thank you..

The ActiveSyncDevice cannot be found.

In Active Directory Users and Computers, I selected the "Users, Contacts, Groups, and Computers as containers" option on the view menu, and I navigated to a user's "ExchangeActiveSyncDevices" folder, and I manually deleted each of the devices.

Now, I'm trying to remove the partnerships using EMC, but each time I try to remove one of the partnerships I get the message below:

Summary: 1 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:00:00

(User Name)\Apple-iPad2C3/812.1

Error:

Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
Remove-ActiveSyncDevice -Identity 'DOMAIN.LOCAL/USERS/User Name/ExchangeActiveSyncDevices/iPad§Appl...'

Elapsed Time: 00:00:00

I am able to remove partnerships from other devices without any problems, so I do not believe this is a permissions issue. I'm pretty sure part of the problem is that I've already manually removed the device from AD and this is causing the error in Exchange.  I have have tried to use PowerShell and Remove-ActiveSyncDevice, but this generates a similar error.

How can I remove the partnership in Exchange?
