Frozen-Solid posted:I came across my first little hiccup in Exchange 2010 today. I added "Send-As" permissions for a user to be able to send as a distribution group, but when trying to send an email as that group it returned a permissions error email. When I did this for myself, it worked with no problems. The only difference is that I never opened my own Outlook account nor did I set up Outlook until everything was already working. For this other user, they were using their email box for the past two hours before I added the permission change. To test if it's an issue with Outlook, or with Exchange permissions, try sending as the distribution group from OWA. If it turns out to be an Outlook issue, try deleting the distribution group's address from the auto-complete cache (just arrow down to it when it pops up and hit the Delete key) and pick it off the address list again. Might want to specifically force a send/receive of the address book as well. If it's an Exchange issue (i.e. it doesn't work in OWA either) it might be an old issue with the Information Store caching these permissions; I remember that from 2007 and I think the refresh was 120 minutes or you could restart the Information Store

Does anyone use the remote wipe feature of exchange 2010/13? I know how to do the wipe but I am curious if the phone displays any information about the wipe after it is reset. I have read that when it reboots there is something that says a remote wipe occurred but I am wondering if it will say anything about who initiated it or what server gave the command. If there is a message, can it be customized? Can i put something like "This phone is property of 'company', please call 'number' to arrange return of 'company' property."?

So we got hit over the weekend by the iOS 6.1/6.1.1 bug. This of course filled up the mailstore that the user's account was on until it unmounted the database. I was able to disable his ActiveSync access and perform a defrag to get enough space back to re-mount the database. I'm running a full backup currently to hopefully take care of all 15,000+ log files that were created. The issue that I have now is that it still seems like the drive is bleeding space as I've been monitoring it today and I'm not sure why. We don't have another runaway iOS device, this bleed is much slower, but we've still lost about 2 GB over the past 5 hours for some reason. At that rate the drive will fill up again by some time tomorrow. Is there a utility or something that will let me see the activity on the server for a specific mailstore? Mail flow, disk writes (and who's writing it), etc... anything that will help me pin down what's going on?

Fix was to install the SP2 + latest rollup, and then move mailboxes to a new database =\.

I am having one hell of a headache with Exchange 2007 SP3, My boss wants me to increase the max attachment size of files in OWA to 75MB. Now I realize most businesses will kick back attachments of this size from being received, however I still need to get this done. I have adjusted the max attachment size to 75MB for a test user and can successfully send via OWA to our company such as; UserA using owa can send a 30MB attachment to UserB using outlook or OWA. However, when UserA sends an attachment 20MB to UserC(at)gmail the message is kicked back from our exchange server for MAX file size limit. Everything I see look says my max file size if at 75MB, however mail still can't be sent to remote mail servers. I have restarted the exchange services, do I just need to reboot the whole thing? Really at a loss right now.

I found it best to sort based on logging activity, then if the same person is consistently logging a lot then they're easy to find. Also you can use the Get-StoreUsageStatistics command in powershell in Exchange 2010 which will give you information for over the past hour. When I notice a large amount of logging I'll run the below for an easy view of who's generating the most logging on a particular database code:

Corvettefisher posted:I am having one hell of a headache with Exchange 2007 SP3, My boss wants me to increase the max attachment size of files in OWA to 75MB.  Configuring your server is only half the equation. I can't think of a mail server (or MTA) in the world that would accept something that large... At least not any of the big names like Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Apple, pretty much all ISPs globally, educational/gov, as well as companies with sensible attachment limits. Just to be sure I'm reading this correctly: You are trying to send a 20MB attachment from your Exchange environment to an @gmail account? Gmail will kick that back as it will likely exceed their 25MB limit once it's been MIME encoded. MIME adds filesize overhead, about 33% more... so 20MB expands to ~26MB in transit. Maybe the bounce looks like it's coming from your server... perhaps. But I'm thinking that Gmail is actually kicking it back. You simply cannot reliably send files that large to public mail servers. I think that upping your Exchange limits is the wrong solution to your attachment problem, and you should try and explain that to your boss. You are sending year-2013-sized files using a standard developed (and perpetually stuck in) 1992.

Eh, I always have a habit of configuring the max attachment size to 100MB for all of my clients when rolling out servers. because if I don't, they will just ask me to later. Usually it's for sending pdfs to other companies etc so it's fine. I do have the same problem with the attachment limit in OWA though, nothing I do seems to resolve the issue even after increasing the iis clientmaxrequestsize to be 100MB I can't attach anything larger than around 25MB.

You may may need to modify the web.config file and modify the IIS config to allow larger attachments. web.config, modify the httpruntime portion (40 mb) <httpruntime executionTimeout="300" maxRequestLength="40960"> IIS config (40 mb) C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config "Default Web Site/owa" -section:requestFiltering -requestLimits:maxAllowedContentLength:41943040 Technet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996835(v=exchg.80).aspx

I'm going to read this entire thread, but does anyone who used to host in-house Exchange have regrets about o365? Or using Dell's o365 service? My initial introduction of o365 today was a disaster as Microsoft "engineers" kept talking us out of options when they learned about how many seats we really needed. Plus when they were showing us Exchange, they wouldn't go into spam/antivirus options. I believe my question, of "How do I look at filtered emails in case an important one was tagged?" was the problem. I was really annoyed with our Dell reps as I did not want to spend 30 mins getting my business needs right when Dell should've already addressed this in the first place. edit: I'm reading the thread now, oh man that's why they poo poo on all discussion for ADFS for SSO. ghostinmyshell fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Mar 30, 2013 |

I am going to take a shot in the dark here and ask this even though Exchange 2003 is ridiculously ancient. I have an interesting issue to say the least. My uncle has solicited me for help with his SMB IT issues since "family discount" etc. Anyway I digress. He's running Exchange 2003 on a 2003 domain. The only domain controller died- HD died and mobo seems to be fried. What I'm trying to figure out is how can I A. preserve exchange mailbox data and B. get it reconnected to a new domain with the same users (or in a fashion that lets me recreate each user by hand) I've googled the gently caress out of this and found a potential solution but I'm unsure how viable- 1. Install server 2003 on a new machine and use the same domain name 2. Install exchange 2003 on the machine and use the same OU 3. Install service packs if necessary 4. Dismount new exchange 2003 DB, and bring over old server's exchange DB files and overwrite the new exchange db files with them 5. Mount the store 6. Run the cleanup agent and create an LDF file from the disconnected users 7. Clean the file and import that back into ADUC with Ldifde 8. Reconnect the mailboxes to the newly created users in ADUC Some extra information that I'm not sure if it makes it more complicated or easier: -Only 15 mailboxes -Most of them are larger than 2 GB -User security not an issue (meaning I can do password resets if necessary) -These are the only two servers that require the domain. Others are not on the domain, have their own policies and what not. If anyone has any thoughts it would be much appreciated.

New weird Exchange 2010 issue (I think I'll be having a lot of these, so I apologize in advance) A user has setup a rule to forward an email with a specific subject to another account. It's acknowledged as a server-side rule, but the forward part of it isn't working. I even added a "mark as read" to the rule to see if the rule was running at all, and the mark as read part worked, but it's still not forwarding. Any idea?

You can use adsiedit to remove the old exchange servers, this was discussed a few pages back and might be worth your time to read.

With a server like Exchange, how would you determine if you need more memory or not? I know the database will do it's best to cache as much as it can, but does it ever reach a point where it doesn't feel like it has to keep sucking up memory for caching? Right now we are floating between 8.3-8.5 GB out of 10 GB free, and it seems to be running just great. We have some spare memory that I can allocate to it, but I'm not sure if it's worth the increase or not. If I give it another 2-4 GB, would it just start using the same % of memory, or should I only worry about allocating more if it gets to the point it's using close to 100% of it's memory?

It will chew up a lot of memory, but that's normal. You can use the Microsoft sizing guides to figure out how much memory your environment should need. How many users do you have, and what's your mailbox count (and total DB size)?

The minimum for a single server with all 4 roles was 10 GB, which is what I gave the VM to start with. My original sizing estimates based on Microsoft's guides were 8-12 GB. We're not using Unified Messaging, so 2 GB for each role + 2 GB cache made 8 GB. The consulting company we hire insisted we absolutely couldn't make an Exchange server without 16 GB of memory which seems ridiculous to me. Since we're at 8.3/10GB right now, I'm not sure what actual % I should expect, or how I would tell if I SHOULD give it another few gigs. I obviously don't want to over allocate, since it's a VM and if it doesn't need it, it's not going to get it.

Just add more? Look in the exchange management console toolkit, I think there's some performance monitoring thing in there. Also keep in mind that back pressure is a thing, so if exchange is really hard up for resources, and you're watching there eventlog, you will know about it. Edit: awful app
