i have been monitoring my queue for a few days now and i noticed this "Delivery Type" column have a "Shadow Redundancy" type. from what i know, it's a copy of all messages sent until the destination server acknowledges successful receipt.

my question is, why this shadow redundancy only refers to one of my mailbox servers (in the "Next Hop Domain" column)? i have two.

Hello,

I have problem, I already created some users in exchange server. The problem is after I create user mail account in outlook in client pc, In address book, Each user's titles are not showing to users. what is the solution?

Thank you,

Ashane.

I have a number of Exchange admins, all in the Organization Management group, however i have 2 of them that are unable to see activesync device details.

For example, they go to view the activesync devices of a user, they can see the device and block/allow/delete it, however if they double click on the device to see details like last sync time they get taken to the AS policy page.

Any thoughts?

Hi Exchange experts

we use exchange 2010 over 2 years, exchange 2003 servers were retired over 1 year, but now we got a request to recover a disabled mailbox in old exchange 2003 system, how to do that?

should we need build a exchange 2003 environment? 

Thanks

Bruce

running exchange 2013 , on 2012 server , can log in to mail server , however we can no longer open the Exchange admin Center

claims are not using the correct username and password , this has not been changed however , we get a 404 error with unable to open page

any solutions would be greatly appreciated ,

second problem is the rpc in the default website the tick box for extended mode constantly gets removed after approx.

twenty minutes and all users are challenged to log in to outlook because the tick box has been un ticked , any reason for this  ?

Would like to have all users have message size restrictions set to 10MB send/receive. Except for some users the limit will be larger.

Set-Mailbox "alias" -MaxSendSize 10mb -MaxReceiveSize 10mb - can this be run on all mailboxes:
Set-Mailbox -MaxSendSize 10mb -MaxReceiveSize 10mb ??? If I don't specify individually.
Maybe?? Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-Mailbox -MaxSendSize 10mb -MaxReceiveSize 10mb
I would then need to change settings on receive connector and transport service setting 
to allow 25MB limit. 
Then change setting on individual mailboxes that are allowed to accept 25MB.

Hi all,

Exchange 2013 CU1 has a new OWA LogOff behaviour when Basic or Windows Integrated Authentication is configured. When clicking the LogOff Button you receive the message "Close All your Browser Windows.." but OWA does not sign out. This is not the case when using Formbased Authentication...

The problem in our case is the OWA publishing over the Internet via TMG. When publishing via TMG, only Basic and NTLM authentication is supported. This means you have to change the Authentication for the OWA Virtual Directory to basic or Windows Integrated. OK so far, now we can use the TMG Authentication Form. but... TMG is not able to Catch the OWA LogOff. So we will still receive "Close all your Browser Settings.." and no log out from OWA.

It is a known issue that TMG cannot catch the OWA Logoff with the Exchange 2013 CU1 Release..So my Question:Does anyone get that "Real LogOut" fixed via TMG or directly on the CAS Server for Exchange 2013 CU1?

I know another possibility is to activate Form Based Authentication on the CAS Servers and external users directly authenticate against the CAS Server without pre-authentication at TMG Level, but this of course does not provide the highest security we can have.

Hi,

Is there any seetings in Exchange 2013 (O365 V15 tenant) to restrict attachment counts in a single Email ? If the setup is already available and configured how to know the details ?

Hi, 

Out transport service keeps crashing. 

The key event in the log appears to be 

"The following resources are under pressure:

Version buckets" (details below) After a while the service crashes and restarts.

We’ve reset the mail.que database  by changing its location as per https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125177%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

This has had no discernible impact on the situation.

We have adjusted EdgeTransport.exe.config to increase the VersionBucket Thresholds. We still max out.

We have identified a connector that had no size limit attached (this was an internal one) and most have a 100Mb limit. However the Queue Viewer tool does not show any messages at all in the queues. (earlier in troubleshooting, we would see messages in the queue viewer arriving in waves as clients and remote servers detected the transport service had become (briefly) available).

We have  disabled the default receive connector (on port 25), and again no discernible impact.

Event Logs are below.

Any advice grateful received.

Thanks

Nick

Hi

We are configuring SCOM for monitoring Exchange 2013 setup.

There are certain alerts related to health of exchange servers 2013 as follows.

How to resolve them OR if errors are not relevent how to disable this?

Hi,

I have been looking at the procedures for installing Exchange certificates in 2013 and for Exchange 2007 of which I have found a lot of great information. The one thing I cannot find is regarding, how far in advance I can install a certificate?

Can anyone advise on this?

Office 365 2013 -Local AD Dirsync'd to Office 365, no local Exchange

We have user accounts for users who have left the company but whose mailboxes we don't want to delete yet so their supervisor can review them.  I want to change their mailbox to a shared account, give the supervisor access and remove them from the Global Address List so that other users in the company don't think that they still work here. 

I can change the mailbox to a shared mailbox, delegate access of a user's account to a Supervisor in Exchange Online and hide the account from the address list.  If they are using the Outlook client, the user account will appear on the left side of the supervisor's Outlook client even though it is hidden from the GAL.

However, if the supervisor is using OWA, when they go to open the mail account for another user, there is no way for them to pick the 'hidden' user because OWA searches the GAL and they are not in the GAL.  Is there any way around this?

Several months ago, I completed a staged migration of our users (~90 users) from our Exchange 2007 on-premise server to Office365.  All is well, and I'm now ready to deprecate the aging Exchange 2007 on-premise box which I no longer use for any other purpose than to create users.

I'm using DirSync (recently upgraded to Azure AD connect actually) to sync AD to Office365.  Currently, if I have a new user, I create them via EMC to allow me to configure the proxy address and SMTP external address (contoso.onmicrosoft.com for example) and then edit remaining properties via AD once the user has been created.  In order to remove the Exchange 2007, do I simply decommission and uninstall, which will then allow me to manage Exchange fields for users in EAC Exchange Online for Office365? Or do I need to keep a local on-premise server installation if only for the EAC 2013?  Or will I still be able to edit Attributes (AD is 2007) for Exchange, then allow Azure Sync to connect, then enable licenses?

Thanks in advance for any clarity.

We completed our Exchange migration to Office 365 in May. Our project will be final if we can successfully remove exchange for a few reasons. 

1) Server is old and needs to be removed.

2) Don't want to maintain an internal Exchange Server

3) Don't want to pay for Exchange just to be able to edit users

Looking at Support Forum articles, it appears that removing Exchange after a migration in a Hybrid deployment isn't recommended.

It seems that you lose some functionality with the administrations of users, not because of the Hybrid deployment but because of DirSync and an Authoritative state still resides onsite. 

My question is, what are the exact options I will lose?
So far I can see the following:

1) Can't add, remove, or edit users from Distribution Groups.

2) Can't add, remove, or edit email addresses of a user (Email Alias's)

What other options will I lose?

Hello,

An AD user account linked to a mailbox was deleted several months back.  I was wondering where can I verify the retention period for a mailbox before it gets purged after the AD user has been deleted?

I've looked into Retention Policies but I am not sure they are being used since there are no mailboxes linked to the policies.

Thank you,

Jeannette

Ok Folks,

Originally I was getting access to the http://localhost/ecp page but now when I type this URL I get the OWA page and only after flushing the cache on the browser I can see the Exchange Admin login page. But then I try logging in and I get a Page Not Found error!!

Is there a way to reset the IIS ecp virtual directory or perhaps when I set the Application Pool items to ApllicationPoolIdentity which BPA was compalining about it broke then. To be honest I think it may also be a certificate problem, Im kinda grasping at straws here and need to know how to reinstall the ECP component??

Ill stop my rambling and let an expert hold my hand please!!

I just read an article about configuring legacy public folder access for Exchange 2013 users to access Exchange 2007 Public Folders
     http://www.exchange2013.es/on-premises-legacy-public-folder-coexistence-for-exchange-2013-cumulative-update-7-and-beyond/

I currently have the "PublicFolderDatabase" field set on my 2013 databases, but going to change one of them today, I get the message that this field has been deprecated.

So, it looks like I need to make changes using set-organizationconfig to configure user access to legacy publicfolders.
Looking at settings that should be made, I am looking at configuring using.....
     - PublicFoldersEnabled Local
My legacy 2007 and 2013 Exchagne systems are in the same organization.
     - RemotePublicFolderMailboxes pfmb01,pfmb02,pfmb03
But wait, the write up on technet says that the remote mailboxes are only used if the public folder is deployed in a remote forest!!!!

If thess fields refer to remote forests, and the publicfolderdatabase field is being deprecated, how am i supposed to refer my 2013 users to legacy, same org, public folders???
