I've been receiving failed login attempts, no IP no username or any useful information
The server has Exchange 2013  and IIS installed. Mailbox Server (MBX) Information Store component is installed on this server.
The Exchange server is working well.

After thorough investigation , it is found that an application pool is causing this .We found this by executing the command "appcmd list wps" and matching the output with the process ID in the event log.It is found that app pool "MSExchangeServicesAppPool" is the culprit causing this failed login events.

Kindly let us know what could be the issue in the configuration that is causing this issue.

Fine tuning migration from 2007-2013 and estimating migration times

$
0
0

Migrating from 2007 to 2013. Last night we attempted to migrate 1000 small mailboxes totalling something like 5Gb total.

Estimated this at around 7 hours. BUT its 20 hours and still going.

We've based our estimate on mailbox sizes which I dont think is correct. (i.e. 1000 mailboxes total 10Gb same as 1 mailbox 10Gb). Looks like number of mailboxes adds a large overhead.

Questions:-

1. Is there a procedure/tool to allow some sort of estimates of mailbox migrations to be produced?

2. Are there any recommendations/tuning suggestions for migrations? (i.e. max number of mailboxes migrated in parallel etc).

Upgrading Exchange 2007-2013 Multi Tenant and rebuilding ACL permissions in Active Directory[Configiuration Partition] on CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=MyDomain,DC=com

$

We are currently running Exchange 2007 Multi tenancy and with GAL segregation.
We are about to upgrade to Exchange 2013 Multi Tenancy.

When I installed Exchange 2013 in my test lab, the Exchange 2013 users and even the new Exchange 2013 servers could not see a big part of the addresslists and the old GALs was not visible.
I did not do the segregation my self regarding the Exchange 2007 installation, but in my testenvironment i was forced to compare permissions from a new clean Exchange 2013 installation with my permissions on test environment and was forces to manually rebuild the permissions.

CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=MyDomain,DC=com

But i'm fairly in doubt if the manual permissions are correct set and I want to be sure to not mess up the correct permissions hiarchy, regarding the current Exchange 2007 and regarding Exchange 2013 we are about to install for coexistance.

Does anyone know about a tool to clean up or how configure this the correct way?

Best regards
Simon

Search on SAM Account Name in Offline Address Book

$
0
0

Hopefully a simple question someone can answer for me.

Within our environment alias does not match SAMAccountName. When using OWA or Online mode, typing in the SAMAccountName into the To field will happily find the user from what I understand by using Ambiguous Name Resolution (ANR).

Unfortunately when using Cached mode, and thus the Offline Address Book, this doesn't work. Is there a way of enabling SAMAccountName searching within the OAB? I am aware we can force cached mode to use the online address book for searching, but that kind of kills the point of Cached Mode and the OAB.

Environment is Exchange 2013 Enterprise currently at CU9

Thanks

Hi,

I am planning to install exchange 2013 and coexistence with exchange 2010 , In my exchange 2010 my exchange organization name is "FirstOrganization" (no space between words )so while preparing AD for exchange 2013 , should i mention the same organization name or i can directly run PrepareAD command and that will not effect my coexistence.

Couple of questions about migration

$
0
0

1. My spam appliance will need to be pointed at the new CAS or MBX server? I am thinking CAS but not 100%.

2. A little confused about call flow with UM. I can't move all mailboxes in one shot so do I point the VoIP pbx to the 2013 CAS and it will redirect to the 2010 mbx server for those still on the old server? Or vice versa?

3. From my understanding, once I get a 2013 CAS up and running I should move SSL certs and update DNS for client access and it will proxy to our old CAS with out prompting for another login. Correct?

Hello,

Firstly, Exchange system included 02 mailbox server (configured DAG), 02 CAS (Configured NLB), 01 Edged Server, The system was running nomarly. However I want to change system at present, so I have already installed new Exchange Server (Mailbox role and CAS role) into System Exchange. 

After finishing, I have been getting errors when opening Server > Certificates in EAC. This problem occurs after I installed Exchange Server (Mailbox role and CAS role)

Error: 

Cannot connect to the remote procedure call service on the server named SERVERNAME. Verify that a valid computer name was used and the Microsoft Exchange Service Host service is started.

Moreover, from Domain controller cannot ping host name of new exchange server but can ping FQDN. 

Here is event log:

he description for Event ID 4027 from source MSExchange ADAccess cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

Any kind of explanation or fix to resolve this error message would be appreciated.

We have begun upgrading out Exchange 2013 servers to CU11. I noticed that the SMTP Receive connectors are all having their Max Local Hop Count changed to 5. Our setting was at 12 prior to this upgrade.....is this something we should be concerned about? I'm nervous that mail loops may occur.

Please provide some insight if you can...thank you!!


Exchange 2007-2013 co-existance scenario - Outlook cannot connect to the new server.

The problem: After installing the Exchange 2013 server in a co-existence scenario with existing server exchange 2007 the outlook cannot connect to the new mailboxes, created in Exchange 2013, showing the credentials window and following error: “There is a problem with the proxy servers's security certificate. The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the target site [server.domain.com]. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server. (Error Code 0).”

The owa access for the same mailboxes works fine and sending/receiving emails is possible.

When trying to open https://*-mail-01.*.local/rpc in the browser, it asks for credentials and then gives error 404.

Configuration data:

  1. Local domain aka *.local
  2. Mail domain of @**.net
  3. Exchange server 2007 sp3 *-mail.*.local
  4. Exchange server 2013 cu9 *-mail-01.*.local

  • Autodiscover.**.net
  • *-MAIL-01

  • **.net
  • *-mail-01.*.local
  • Legacy.*.local
  • Mail.**.net

Certificate is imported to both old and new exchange servers.

SMTP, IMAP, POP and IIS are signed by the new certificate in the Exchange 2013 server.

Outlook Scheduling Assistant - Auto Population

$

After adding new Rooms to Resources within the EAC, I do see the Rooms available when navigating to "Add Rooms..." in Outlook. However, when utilizing the Scheduling Assistant, I notice the older rooms, will auto populate after typing even half of the name, and then display the green house icon signifying Resource(Room or Equipment) automatically.

My newer rooms I've added will not do this. If I type half of the name, it won't auto fill the rest, and if I type the full name with exact spelling and capitalization, it still will not be recognized as a Room and only display the Required Attendee icon.

When navigating to the Add Rooms option, if I then select the newer room and click OK, it will add the room to the All Attendees list, as a room, with the green house icon. I can't figure out how the auto complete functionality was added for the older rooms. Might this be something that's being worked out on the back end and could be available after some time?

All settings were mirrored to the older rooms. Everything in AD matches up. I've tried updating my Global Address Book.

No luck so far. Any help is appreciated.

Hello guys when installing Exchange Server 2013 for the first time it requires you to prepare the AD schema. I am already running Exchange 2007.

Is it still required that I prepare the AD schema when installing Exchange 2013? Just a bit confused on this.

The answer is I think yes but would like to get some feedback on this before I move forward. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks - Robert

http://exchangetroubleshooting.blogspot.com/2011/05/unable-to-run-preparead-command.html/

Some additional information:

This is a clean installation of Exchange 2013 in a forest that has never had exchange.

The domain and forest preparations run without errors and are at functional level of 2003.

The Exchange server has all prerequisites installed for a Mailbox server role and is running on a VM with Server 2012 as the OS.

This error occurs on other VMs as well that we are trying to implement as mailbox servers in the same forest.

I am running the installation as an enterprise, schema, domain admin.

Thanks for your help in advance.
