After we disabled TLS 1.0 on the Exchange server running version 15.0 (Build 1156.6), all mail flow stopped. I know it was a known issue until early this year so I wondering if the issue has been resolved in any of the three Cumulative Updates released this year (12, 13 or 14)?

In my research I found this patch - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3045301 - which was included in the CU8, but I see that we have CU11 installed on the server.

We are planning on installing CU14 in hopes that it resolves the issue, please let me know if anyone has any feedback on this issue or patch.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Team,

We have an On Premise Exchnage 2013 setup. we also have Lync 2013 on Premise setup.
We have a hybrid Exchange 2013 server as well.
Now we have moved all our mailboxes to O365.
We want to decommision our exchange 2013 servers On Premise Except the hybrid server. We also want to decommision lync 2013 server on premise.

Can some one please guide me on the steps to decomission Exchange 2013 and lync 2013 servers On premise.

Thanks,

Mitesh

I recently tried to install CU 13. but it failed.  After a reboot the Exchange services were disabled.  I was able to re-enable them and get them started with the exception of the Exchange Service Host service.  It is stuck in a loop of constantly starting and stopping.

Mail is working but I can not get into the ECP or OWA.  Also, the Exchange management shell will not connect and gives this error:

[AuthZRequestId=6a773c7a-a05d-40b2-9133-4e56b8f1ce90][FailureCategory=AuthZ-TypeInitializationException] The type
initializer for 'Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Authorization.InitialSessionStateBuilder' threw an exception. For
more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

The ECP returns the follow:

Server Error in '/ecp' Application.

---

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I have tried to re-run the update but it fails and I'm afraid to uninstall it as I read that would remove Exchange? I've also tried the updateCAS powershell script but that fails as well, probably because it cannot connect to Exchange.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I have some scripts to execute before shuting down a member of a dag (in Exchange 2013). It stops services and redirect messages to the other node. But, what are best practices to shutdown the two members of my dag? Do I need to stop the two nodes or just stop one, shutdown, and then shutdown the other one?

Thank you

We have a 2007 Exchange Server and installed 2013 CU14 next to it. Now we have several issues with it and like Microsoft recommends to not use CU14 but install CU13, I was wondering whether I can uninstall the one and only 2013 server from this coexistence scenarion or do I need to first deploy a second Exchange 2013 server next to it?

We have indexing issues, certificate issues and more. We don't trust this 2013 install anymore and want to 'start all over'.

Thanks,

Olaf

Hi,

After installing CU14 @ Exchange 2013, random mails in Outlook gets their body text converted, when they click reply / forward on mails.

Office 2013 is full updated, running at Server 2012 R2.
Added GPO for setting uni-code to UTF-8.
Added "<add key="DisableDetectEncodingFromMetaTag" value="true" />" so EdgeTransport.exe.config

Nothing has fixed this yet. Any suggestions are very welcome.

Hi Team,

Please suggest storage assigning to virtual machine (MBx Servers database drive) is it in RAW format or VMDK keeping in mind for any other database migrations or movement in future.

We are in process of migrating Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, we have installed and configured 2 Mailbox servers and 2 CAS Servers for Exchange 2013 all are in MS fail-over cluster, all are in hosted single shared cluster disk on Hyper-V.

We would like to know how to assign LUN to Mailbox server to store databases.

Is it on RAW or VHDX Fixed ?

Will it be on Shared Cluster or any other option ?

Could any one suggest on this so that I can proceed further for allocation of drive.

Thanks

Hi,

Our company is using Exchange Server right now, one of our application rely on Exchange Server Web Service to automatically send and receive email from a untended mailbox.

Now company is in progress to move to Office 365 and retire internal Exchange Server in months, I wonder if the application rely on Exchange Web Service could seamlessly migrate to Office 365? If not, what solution do I have?

Hi,

in organization - domain is like org.local and external Exchange name I want use mail.company.com, use Excahnge 2013

Excahnge use certificate from internal CA cerver. But I want use wildcard certificate for external connections *.company.com :)

I try publish Excahnge over IIS ARR 3.0 - and I bind for IIS wildcard certificate. At Exchange I nothing do, ther local cert like exch01.org.local.

After do this - https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2013/07/19/part-1-reverse-proxy-for-exchange-server-2013-using-iis-arr/

when open URL mail.company.com - get error 502

"502 - Web server as a gateway or proxy server received an invalid response.The problem with the requested page; page can not be displayed. Web server, acting as a gateway or proxy, in contact with the upstream content server received an invalid response from him."

How can I correct publish Excahnge with two Certificate? 

- split external DNS, users mast use external name to connect to server at internal network

- use internal certificate for publish

-or try use Web Application Proxy in Server 2012 R2

http://windowstechpro.com/how-to-deploy-web-application-proxy-in-server-2012-r2/

OR change authenfication type at Excahnge OWA virtual directory - like basic
