Outlook tries to make a connection to the old exchange server after mailbox is moved

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:03:47 Z

I have moved users mailboxes from the OLD exchange server to a new one. I disconnect to OLD exchange server from the network and open oultlook and check the connection (Connection Type = Mail ) status it shows a connection to the OLD server. Outlook shows trying to connect and finally resulting in Limited connectivity.

I have transferred the Offline address book roles , Receipent Policy roles to the new exchange server and is in the process of removing the old one.

What roles may be remaining in the old server for outlook to look for it ?

When we "demote" the "front-end" server (OMA) on my Windows 2003 Exchange server, on the "back-end" server users cannot send mail to the outside world.

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:05:48 Z

When we "demote" the "front-end" server (OMA) on my Windows 2003 Exchange server, on the "back-end" server users cannot send mail to the outside world.

1. Users can receive from the outside and inside.
2. Users can send to the inside.

But they cannot send email to the outside world and OMA doesn't work. We have checked the firewall and nothing is being blocke and all the Exchange Services have been restarted on the back end server.

What are we missing in the steps?

Also I am getting this message in the Event viewer on the back end server:Event ID 4515

The zone sassenheim.emea.sensitech.nl was previously loaded from the directory partition DomainDnsZones.sassenheim.emea.sensiteh.nl but another copy of the zone has been found in the directory partititon ForestDnsZones.sassenheim.emea.sensitech.nl. The DNS Server will ignore this new copy of the zone. Pleae resolve the confilct as soon as possible.

do I have to use my domain name?

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:27:39 Z

I am installing a fresh copy of a Windows Server 2008 64-bit which will also have Microsoft Exchange 2007 and I want to know if it's recommned to use my real domain name on the server, I mean the same domain which i am hosting my website on or not?

if i use my real domain name then I won't be able to browse the website on or webmail on the same network? that was the problem earleir in the windows erver 2003? any fix or suggesstion?

Address Book: The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable.

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:14:32 Z

Hi,

I am having a strange problem on the address book between Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

I can open address book and download the offline address book with no problem. The problem is when I left the outlook 2007 idle for a few minutes, then I click on Address Book, then it will pop up the error message "The connection to Microsoft Exchange server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." But after I close the message box, the connection to the server resume and I can open the address book with no problem. I do know that this isn't a big issue, but this is really annoying.

I have tested setup outlook on a few pc, all the pc also facing the same problem except the Exchange Server itself will not have this issue.

I have tried to google for solution, but couldn't find any solution for it yet. Is there any expert that could enlighten me on solving this problem?

Thanks in advance.

SBS 2008 x64, Installing Exchange SP2. Stuck on Removing Exchange Files. Please help

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:37:05 Z

Hello,

I am currently updating SBS 2008 x64 to Exchange 2007 SP2.

All went well until the third item during setup, Removing Exchange Files.

It has been at that stage for about 50 minutes and has not moved. There is barely any activity.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Gus

EDIT: Just an FYI. I have reasearched as much as possible before posting. Nothing seems to point to this issue other than someone that asked for cd install files. I have no errors.
I have also read not to do the update until an SBS 2008 update is available for EXSP2 but I cannot back out at this point.

Smart Host query in Exchange 2007

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:56:27 Z

Hi

We are running Exchange 2007 SP1.

Our mail domain is @domain.com We have a sister organisation who are domain2.com.

There is a VPN connection between the two networks. I understand for email between the two, it's possible to have mail either travelling via the public internet (i.e. using MX records) or to use a Smart Host and use the VPN.

Would I be correct in thinking that for the latter, we would set up a Smart Host on a Hub Transport server for domain2.com and point it to the Hub Transport at domain2.com (they use Exchange 2007 too).

Couple of questions:

i) What would be the advantage of using a Smart Host as opposed to public DNS

ii) On which Hub Transport would I actually set the Smart Host (we have multiple AD sites). Would it be all the Hub Transports, or the HT's that have an SMTP Connector to our 3rd party SMTP gateways? Many thanks!

I would really appreciate if anyone help me to resolve this.

Exchange 2003 OWA password reset when password is expired fails.

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:23:21 Z

Hi you all.
the last 2 days i am spending my time sorting this problem out.
I followed lots of Kb's and other resources but none of them result in a solution for me.
I have 2 windows 2003 mail servers with SP2 and exchange 2003 on them.
Its a front-end back-end configuration, with on the front-end OWA enabled.
We also configured SSL and FBA.
Users are able to change the password through OWA without any problems.
But when you are forced to change the password by AD you wil get an 403 forbidden error right after you entered the new password and hit enter.
So you can login fine, you will get the "you have to change your password" screen and you are able to put in new credentials, right after that it all goes wrong and a 403 forbidden page pops up.

i followed http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb684904.aspx

and
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/833734
also using domainname\username in the user field doesn't change anything
and i am sure these settings are correct:
-"Active Server Pages" under the web service extensions is Allowed
-Set the ChangepasswordFlags to 0
-Enable SSL on IISADMPWD virtual directory
-regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\iisadmpwd\iispwchg.dll

users report this from inside and outside the lan..

Really don't know what to do anymore,
i know it must have something to do with the way users authenticate in IIS but just can't get it to work!

Preventative Database Maintenance

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:34:18 Z

Our previous Exchange administrator would anually take the Exchange 2003 mailbox databases offline to run ESEUtil /d ISInteg -fix against the databases as a preventative maintenance measure. We have since moved to Exchange 2007, and the previous administrator has moved onto other things.

Other then for defragging the mailbox store to recover disk space (which isn't really necessary for us anymore), is there any preventative maintance value to doing this regularly? I've not seen mention of this in the Exchange documentation I've gone through.

Exchange 2003 White Space Script

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:57:10 Z

Has anyone come across one that works well?

Move mailbox from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007 cross forest

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:16:12 Z

I am trying to move a mailbox from 03 to 07 in a different forest. I am new to the power shell for exchange 07. I do have a forest trust in place and dns is working correctly.

Here is my setup:

Old forest with exchange 2003:

exchange server name = exchange

domain controller name = exchange (bad setup I know, it's all on the same box)

domain name = okchs.org

New forest with exchange 2007

exchange server name = exchange2007scc (it is a single copy cluster using a san)

domain controller = varietydc01

domain name = varietycare.org

I'm not sure what the correct name for the exchange 2003 database is, from looking at it, it looks like \First Storage Group\Mailbox Store\

Here is the cmdlet I am running:

$s = get-credential

get-mailbox -DomainController 'exchange.okchs.org' -Credential $s -database 'exchange\First Storage Group\Mailbox Store' |move-mailbox -TargetDatabase 'exchange2007scc\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database' -Identity 'test1' -SourceForestGlobalCatalog 'exchange.okchs.org' -GlobalCatalog 'varietydc01.varietycare.org' -DomainController 'varietydc01.varietycare.org' -NTAccountOU 'CN=Users,DC=varietycare,DC=org' -PreserveMailboxSizeLimit -IgnorePolicyMatch -SourceMailboxCleanupOptions DeleteSourceMailbox -SourceForestCredential $s -TargetForestCredential $t

here is the error i get:

Get-Mailbox : Database "exchange\First Storage Group\Mailbox Store" was not found. Please make sure you have typed it correctly.
At line:1 char:12

Please any help would be great!

Red X Completed for Exchange 2007 Readiness Check

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:24:12 Z

Maybe this is a "no brainer" but after installing Exchange 2007 roles on one server (MB, CS, HT), and then running the Exchange 2007 Readiness check thru the EMC\Toolbox, my Exchange 2003 server status is a "Green X Completed" but my Exchange 2007 server status ia a "Red X completed"?

The only issues that show are informational and all are basically just correct information. I performed a second complete installation on another server to validate the results and sure enough, same Red X. If I remember correctly, in the past when I have installed each of the Exchange 2007 server roles on separate servers, and then run the Exchange 2007 readiness check, I do believe the result is a Green X for each of the servers?

Any discernment would be appreciated. If this is just a "fluke result" or should I not include the Exchange 2007 server for a "readiness" check? I want to just move on!

Thanks
Steve

Create a custom MMC for Exchange 2007 Management

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:30:54 Z

I am creating a custom MMC so that my Help Desk can only see the Mailbox section of the Reciptient Configuration, that part is no problem. Is there a dll or something I can register to make the mmc work without having to install the management console? For example when I created a custom mmc for ADUC I just had to copy dsadmin.dll and register it and they were are to use the snap in. I would like to something similiar with the Exchange Console.

Otherwise I don't see much benefit in creating a custom mmc because a smart user could figure out how to bring up the full console.

Thanks

Exchange Calendar issue

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:56:29 Z

We are running Exchange Server 2007 with MS Outlook 2007. One of our users is trying to share out an executive calendar. She is able to share it with all but two people. The two people who cannot view it get the following error...

The "Admin Calendar" was shared with some of the recipients. However, calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network.

I've verified that both of these individuals are set as reviewers for this calendar. Any ideas?

Add mailbox microsoft@mydomain?

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 08:32:12 Z

Hi,

I am running an Exchange 2007 server on Windows Server 2003 R2.

The other day I needed to add the mailbox microsoft@mydomain.com. But when doing so I got the following error

The proxy address "SMTP:microsoft@mydomain.com" is already being used by "myinternaldomain.local/Microsoft Exchange System Objects/microsoft". Please choose another proxy address.

When searching I found this article http://technet.microsoft.com/sv-se/library/aa996197(en-us,EXCHG.65).aspx. Seams like there is an Exchange system public folder called microsoft. And (at least in my environment) this public folder have "taken" the two addresses microsoft@mydomain.com and microsoft@myinternaldomain.local.

Does this public folder really need to have the microsoft@ SMTP-address?

If not, how can I remove it from this system public folder?

Regards Erik

problems with outlook...

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:16:06 Z

hey all. let me pre-emptively apologize if this is a stupid question. if you couldn't already tell, i'm new to exchange. i work for a small company that doesn't have a dedicated IT person; my boss only pays one to come in every so often when we do something big. at work my outlook works fine; i can add new employee users and set up their outlook mailboxes. my problem is not being able to configure outlook outside of our domain. while at work i use the local address: servername.domain.local and it works fine. i want to set up outlook on a salesman's laptop and can't figure out the exchange server address to enter. i have searched online and tried all the various suggestions in the threads. the IT guy is on vacation for the holidays and won't be back for 2 weeks. i have the administrator password and can get in to check or change whatever settings necessary. i was hoping someone would have experienced a similar problem or could tell me where in the settings to find the actual address. i'd appreciate anything. thanks in advance for your help...

Exchange SMTP Connector Not Filterring

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 08:07:16 Z

Hi,

We recently transfer all our exchange mailbox (Exchange 2003 SP2) to a new server (Exchange 2003 SP2 also), we set up an SMTP Connector and point it to a smart host. The Address Space is already set to "*" and set a filtering (Delivery Restriction) that only specific users can send internet mails suddenly we have users who by default is rejected in the Delivery Restriction policy can now send emails. Maybe I miss something on the settings on the exchange, the old server is already remove and everything is working fine except the mentioned above problem.

Any Help would be Appreciated.

Not understanding what to examine for diagnosis - I'll go to the server and restart all exchange services. Sometimes this works, sometimes it does not. Please help me understand how to diagnose this issue.

Outlook Anywhere does not work for Users having access to only one AD computer. Username/Password prompts comes continously

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 03:29:12 Z

Dear TechNet

My Company has the policy to give access to users to only one AD computer. Currently remote users use VPN to access their emails in Outlook. I have setup Outlook Anywhere for such users but it prompts for Username/Password continously and does not authenticate at all.

Domain Admins Account having access to all the AD computer/Servers using Outlook 2003/2007, Outlook Anywhere works perfectly fine. No Authenticatin issue and my authentication is set to BASIC.

I have given access to Exchange Server also to Company Users but no success. I do not know where to start looking for the issue.

Please advise

Thanks

misc issues [ message receiving encoding, removing old server]

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:48:32 Z

We've made some change in our organisation.

Basically the exchange 2007 server was installed on WM (including db :/ ).
There's 2 weeks ago the wm server crashed, and the exchange also crashed, with some db unrecoverable.

Now the exchange server is located on a strong physical server, the organization is ok, db recovered ( except one ).

We've now some stranges issues :

- for one sender the character encoding is doesn't work, and the mail appear without sender, without subject, without attachment, and the header looks like that :

Another issue:

In the organisation, in the past, where an 2003 exchange server, who was removed there's some years to install instead an 2007. Now when i do the '' health test '' in the Toolbox- > Best Practice Analyze, the log show a lot of error concerning firt routing groups and it appear that the exchange 2003 is still present in AD, but the server physically doesn't exists anymore.

Then my two question are :

- What can i do concerning the encoding type ?

- how can i remove all information about the exchange 2003 without this server ?

Message UIDs changing and causing POP/IMAP duplication

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:57:52 Z

The company I work for is having this issue with Exchange 2007. We have a proprietary email client that does regular checks for new messages. Some users also have blackberrys and other devices that they use to check their email (using BIS). I find that there are some actions (which I can't define 100% but appear to be related to replying/forwarding or messages) that cause the email to have it's UID changed to the next available UID. This causes a problem when our POP client does a UIDL request to the Exchange Server and the server gives the same message back as "new" and it makes it into the inbox despite already being in the inbox. I have thoroughly researched this problem and I have yet to be given a solution except "don't leave mail on the server" which is NOT a solution. Please let me know why the UIDs are changing and what Microsoft intends to do about it.

I need a definitive answer about Exchange 2003 SP2 and Windows 2008 Domain Controllers

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:49:36 Z

I am planning to upgrade my Windows Server 2000 domain controllers to Windows Server 2008, taking my domain to the Windows 2008 forest/domain function level.

My Exchange 2003 SP2 server is running on Windows Server 2003 SP2. I do not want this system to change.

Will Exchange Server 2003 SP2 running on Windows Server 2003 function properly in a Windows 2008 forest/domain function level environment?

I've looked at this: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/09/09/452361.aspx
And this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee338574.aspx

These seem to disagree with each other.

The supportability matrix doesn't show Exchange 2003 SP2 being supported in a 2008 domain functional level environment.

So, what's the answer? Can I upgrade my domain controllers to 2008 function level and continue using my Exchange 2003 SP2 server?

Adding a Windows Server 2008 w/Exchange 2007 SP1 to a Windows Server 2003 domain

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 22:19:00 Z

My company will likely be upgrading our exchange server next year to Exchange 2007 running on Server 2008. This will be our first Server 2008 installation. Since this server will be running Exchange, it will obviously need to have Active Directory installed. I have been unable to find any information that describes what the minimum level is for my Server 2003 Domain Controllers in this type of environment. I am hoping that we will not have to upgrade the domain controllers too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We have a user who sends a email a couple times a week. When he sends the email, since most of the information is the same , he sends it to a group of people and includes himself. The next time he sends it he just takes the email he previously sent out, replies all, changes some of the text and sends it out. The email gets stuck in the mail queue under the domains he is attempting to send it to. He has been doing this since last year and the problem has just started occurring. It doesn't happen every time he does it just once in a while. When testing the email I have tried forwarding it to my hotmail and yahoo accounts and it gets stuck, if I send it internally it works. I have tried changing the subject, the text, even forwarding it blank and it still gets stuck. The only thing that seems to work is if I copy and paste the information into a new email. Since he has sent it out so many times we have tested some of the other emails and some work and some don't. I can send it via telnet but I am copying and pasting the data so it is not a true test. I have also tried it in OWA, on computers not in the domain,. computers with no virus software yet I still have the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also is there a way to test an email to see if it is corrupted?

Autoresponder for whole bunch of people

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:41:02 Z

Hello,

One of our production facilities has been cut off from the outside world (data communication) for at least of couple of days.
Due to this, the people are not able to respond to their email in a timely manner.
All email is still delivered to our Exchange 2007 mailserver. (The mail server is located somewhere else)

Is there an easy way to set-up an "AutoResponder" in Exchange 2007 for all these people (they are in a separate mail store) that there will be an delay in email communication for the next few days.

Thanks,

Remko

PowerShell - Different Answers to Same Query Posed two ways

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:48:56 Z

Hi All:

New to PowerShell so I may be missing something here.

While trying to identify a set of public folders to be mail enabled I entered the following query

Get-PublicFolder "\Folder\Subfolder1\ -recurse | Where-Object {$_.MailEnabled -eq "False"}

The output list included a folder that I knew to be mail enabled which puzzled me so I ran a second query as follows

Get-PublicFolder "\Folder\Subfolder1\FolderInQuestion" | Format-List

The output from Format-List showed the MailEnabled Property set to 'True'.

So I tested to verify that this folder was mail-enabled and it is.
Has anyone else seen this anomaly or am I missing something?
Is this a bug in the Where-Object cmdlt?
