Hi Guys,

I have a confusion with my Current set up and I hoping someone can help me solving this Issue. so I have running exchange server 2010 Environment and I have also smart Host for exchange server for the outbound Mail flow and For In bound mail flow we are using a Virtual web server (Sophos) which is routing the Traffic to internal Exchange client access server.

and Recently I have introduced Multi role Exchange server 2013 to my Environment.

steps which i have already Done

• Configure the Auto Discover
• Configure the Certificate and services with Correct Namespaces.
• Configure all the Internal and external Client access name Spaces.
• Configured the New Mailbox Databases.
• Testing the server Configuration.
•  Create new Exchange mailbox on the Exchange server 2013.
• I have checked the Send and receive connector set up and they are automatically Set us they Should be.
• Made auto-discover test and as well as the sent and receive emails.
• All seems to be working with New exchange 2013 mailbox

I have question about how is this Working , my Interface Facing server is still the Exchange 2010 server and what should i do to make sure that Exchange 2013 Works as Internet facing server and then it can down Proxy to Exchange 2010.

I hope I have made my Self clear , please guys any tip will be useful.

Thanks in advance.

I'm following the procedure as per this Microsoft article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx

However at the New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest step (step 5 - migrate Exchange 2010 folders)  I'm getting the error at bottom.  Anybody know what could be causing this?  It certainly seems to be able to access ATLAS.  I've tried using atlas.es.tv, tried using just the name of the PF DB, nothing works.

Hello Everyone,

I've been installing Exchange servers since Exchange 5.5. I'm now installing Exchange 2013 with SP1 that will coexist with one Exchange 2010 SP3 server. I'm installing it on 2012 R2 Enterprise Edition. There is a root domain and one child domain. The Exchange Server is in the child domain.  Even though I've run the .\setup PrepareSchema, AD and domain and all were successful I still get the message below when running Exchange setup. If I look at what /preparedomain does it seems like it has done what is needed. I've run the /prepareschema, /preparead and /preparealldomains in the root domain & have even run /preparedomain over and over in the child domain. Like I said everytime I run these they are successful. Oh and my account belongs to all the right groups needed to run these. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hello Everyone,

I have an issue during migration of PF from E2010 server to E2013.

After "New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest" I am checking a progress of migration and I can see it is failed because of  DataValidationException:

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Has anyone successfully worked through this issue? Any thoughts on what I need to do here?

Thanks, DLP

We have Exchange 2013 in a Hybrid deployment with Office 365.  When we migrate mailboxes to Exchange Online, does that free up space on the local Exchange database?

Anything we need to do to reclaim that space?

Hi There,

I have build one Exchange 2016 on-prem and also registered a trail version O365 for my learning purpose.

my name space is mail.domain.com , therefore OWA URL: https://mail.domain.com/owa & OA name space: mail.domain.com

my autodiscover internal URL is currently set to: https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

my autodiscover external URL is currently set to: https://mail.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

I have a public DNS A record mail.domain.com pointing to my reverse proxy and I'll do SSL offloading at reverse proxy.

Following are my questions,

1. Will I be able to manage the third party SSL certificate with just single SAN entry , mail.domain.com?

2. or do I need to compulsory have autodicover.domain.com in my certificate SAN entry?

Hello,

I'm trying to more than 5 import psts into the mailbox server Exchange server 2013 CU7. Only 1 is active and rest all are in the state of RelinquishedWlmStall.

StatusDetail: RelinquishedWlmStall

Message: Informational: The request has been temporarily postponed due to unfavorable server health or budget limitations. MRS will attempt to continue processing the request again after

I have other two servers exchange 2013 with SP1, there are no issues on those servers. 

All the three servers are in DAG and if the database is active on CU7, i'm facing issues. I guess some changes were done on WLM level.

I have increased the values in the MRS configuration file as below and restarted the service, still facing the issues.

Do we have to change the WLM App settings? Resources are huge: 64GB RAM, octa core processor.

Exchange is limiting it somewhere, how do i change it? Its only on-premises exchange server no hybrid.

 I need help with this scenario

please step by step:

we have 2 sub-nets in 2 different locations, we need to move the only exchange server that we have to the second site with new physical server and retire the old one.

- VPN connection is already exist.

- One exchange database (Small) (less than 10 users).

- No DAG.

- Domain hosting with godaddy.

Please I need clear steps starting from installing exchange on the new server.

any help would be appreciated.

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone could provide some guidance and assistance with the preparation/update of email addresses, email address policies and address books.

Currently we ahvea n on-premise Exchange 2013 server and we are an education institution with staff and students. All staff have their mailboxes in the on-premsies Exchange server (to be migrated later) and students have all of their mailboxes in Office 365 (exchagne online).

Staff email addreses are name@domainname.edu.au
Student email addresses are name@student.domainname.edu.au

As the on-premise server was originalyl configured for staff only, there is just the default address book policy. This policy has the rulesalias@domainname.edu.au as well as alias@domain.mail.onmicrosoft.com

The on-premise Exchange server has been configured in hybrid mode and all student email boxes have been configured as 'remote mailbox'. The target address in active directory for each student points to alias@domain.onmicrosoft.com

What I would like some assistance with is:

1. The default Address Book Policy doesn't have the options to modify which users it applies. Currently it applies to all staff and students, therefore students are incorrectly configured with an email addressname@domainname.edu.au rather than name@student.domainname.edu.au
Do I need to create two new address book polices, one for students, one for staff and then remove the default address book policy?

2. The student's are configured in Active Directory and sync'd to O365 with AAD Connect. The attributes in AD for mail and SMTP: showname@domainname.edu.au. As they only have a remote mailbox in Exchange, I need to edit the attributes within AD to change to the correct email address. I haven't been able to cretate a powershell script to modify all users in the Student OU to either remove the default incorrect email address and then add the correct email as default, or modify the default SMTP with the correct address.

3. I am also looking at sperating users into various Address Book Policies as per the Education example below. I know this references on-premise Exchange server, so I'm not sure if i would run the same commands via Powershell while connected to Exchange Online https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj657455(v=exchg.150).aspx

So i am currently in the setup of exchange 2013 and exchange 2007 in coexistence . At the moment i have not switched to 2013 as the mains server yet but i have migrated a few users to exchange 2013 and all works fine. Exchange 2007 still handles all external communication as i have not switched my ips/dns etc yet. What i want to do is upgrade exchange 2013 to latest CU12 before finalizing the switch so that i wont have to do it afterwards that EX2013 is going to be the main server .

My question is . I have read that sometimes when installing the CU update from RTM an issue comes up regarding the receive connectors :

During an upgrade of Exchange Server 2013 to a new cumulative update some customers may experience an issue where setup fails, leaving the server in a non-operational state.

Mailbox role: Transport service FAILED
The following error was generated when “$error.Clear();$connectors = Get-ReceiveConnector
 -Server $RoleFqdnOrName;foreach($connector in $connectors) { if($connector.MaxLocalHopCount 
-gt 1) { Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity $connector.Identity -MaxLocalHopCount 5 }};” was 
run: “Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfiguration 
Tasks.ReceiveConnectorRoleConflictException: The values that you specified for the Bindings 
and RemoteIPRanges parameters conflict with the settings on Receive connector 
“EX2013SRV2\Test”. Receive connectors assigned to different Transport roles on a
 single server must listen on unique local IP address & port bindings.

I have run this script to check my connectors beforehand :

$connectors = Get-ReceiveConnector;
foreach($connector in $connectors)
{
    if($connector.MaxLocalHopCount -gt 1)
    {
        Set-ReceiveConnector -Identity $connector.Identity -MaxLocalHopCount 5 -WhatIf
    }
}

And i got no errors my out put was:

What if: Configuring Receive connector "TTSERVER\Default TTSERVER".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "TTSERVER\Windows SBS Fax Sharepoint Receive TTSERVER".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "TTSERVER\Windows SBS Internet Receive TTSERVER".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "TTSERVER\Enigma".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "TTSERVER\submission".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "EXCH1\Default EXCH1".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "EXCH1\Client Proxy EXCH1".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "EXCH1\Default Frontend EXCH1".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "EXCH1\Outbound Proxy Frontend EXCH1".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "EXCH1\Client Frontend EXCH1".
What if: Configuring Receive connector "TTSERVER\Exchange 2013".

Does that mean i am ok to proceed with the update without any fixes or is there something i must do ?

Hi Team,

Is it advisable to install exchange 2013 server on pre deploy windows harden os template. OR to do exchange hardening manually. Also please share standard hardening document for exchange 2013 recommended by microsoft.

For the purposes of sorting certain email address, such as conference room, distribution lists, and other resources, what special characters can be used as the first character and what are the rules for alphabetization?  (I'm assuming standard ASCII coding by default)

For example, can I do

_DistributionList1

_DistributionsList2

&ConferenceRoom1

&ConferenceRoom2

Of course, the actual names would be more descriptive.  The goal here is for distro lists and resources to show up at the top of the address book when users need to look through it.

Thanks

Dear All,

We are using exchnage 2013 ,whenever an email is sent to an user whose mailbox does not exists and NDR is sent to the sender,we need to customize the NDR, how do i do that please see the current message which goes out i need to change this ,i need to customize the highlighted text.

Hi All,

I'm hoping one of the guru's here can clear up my confusion on outlook anywhere.

We have an Exchange 2010 and 2013 environment, along with a Exchange online presence.

We recently configured Exchange 2013 outlook anywhere and noticed it overwrote client settings (Outlook 2010) on all clients with mailboxes on 2010, 2013 and Exchange online. 

From my understanding, we need to also have Outlook Anywhere configured in the exchange 2010 environment. If I set the OA configuration in 2010, will it overwrite the configuration on all clients that was set in exchange 2013?

Thanks in advance.
