Finally got permission to do the 2007 SP2 to SP3 upgrade with all of the roll-ups... After almost a year of making noise about trying to get everything up to date and 3 weeks before I leave. I'm in for a fun evening.

Install SP3 and then install the latest rollup. You don't need all of them.

Yeah, with my somewhat limited experience with Exchange, as long as things were done by the book, it's easy. I've never seen things done by the book.

So... I came in this morning to the DBA and one of the developers going batshit. It turns out that the extra SMTP service was being used by the DBA to send emails from SQL because he couldn't figure out how to do it using Exchange within our domain. Edit: gently caress SharePoint!

We are in the process of setting up Exchange 2013 here at the office. Things are going generally swimmingly from the client side but we've got a weird issue with ECP we can't figure out. The issue is that we get a client side error from msajax -- the message is "Unable to set property 'control' of undefined or null reference" -- the error we get is identical to https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/62b50eab-3f1b-4b70-91e8-d4d8baf513f9/iis-ecp-error?forum=exchangesvrclients and it effects all browsers. Anyhow, has anyone seen this and does anyone have an idea about a fix?

Anything in the event logs? How is your DNS set up with regards to Exchange? Split DNS?

Trying to get the lazy admin to actually look at the event logs so I'm not sure about that. Yes it is split DNS but this is happening both inside and outside. I'm fairly certain that is OK as the DNS side would keep anything from happening, the page renders in this case it just spits out an annoying javascript error.

I updated from 2013 CU4 (SP1) to CU6 over the weekend. Exchange search is now completely hosed. Test-ExchangeSearch returns Catalog State Unknown for all databases. Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus does the same thing. Restarting the services and does not help. Did the reseeding by stopping the services renaming the folders with .old and restarting the services per the technet article. It does recreate the folders and add the files, but does not fix the issue. I did add the ContentSubmitters group and gave Administrators and Network Service full access, even thought that shouldn't be needed with CU6. Running Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | FL Name,*Index* gives me "Could not find registry value of Index Status for database." On all of them. I am thinking this is the problem but I don't know how to resolve it. I ran the Search Foundation/Ceres trouble shooting script (under V15\Scripts\Troubleshoot-CI.ps1) which gives me an error with "Couldn't read registry key:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v15\ContentIndex\CatalogHealth\" Fun thing is if I open reg edit I don't even have those keys. It stops at v15 and then I don't have ContentIndex. I tried reinstalling Search Foundation/Ceres with \V15\Bin\Search\Ceres\Installer\installconfig.ps1 per a tutorial I found about someone's similar problem. I was hoping it would fix whatever registry keys but no luck. Nothing changed. My event logs are full of these both after and before I did any of the above: quote:Exchange Server Information Store has encountered an error while executing a full-text index query ("andnot(string("test*", mode="and"), quote:The FastFeeder component received a connection exception from FAST. Error details: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[System.ServiceModel.ExceptionDetail]: I think the those registry keys are hosed but I don't know what to do to repair them, short of some kind of re-installation or repair with the installer. e: broke tables. itskage fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Oct 21, 2014 |

I'm out of the Exchange loop as we outsourced to BPOS/O365 like 6 years ago, but as a Microsoft guy, this is generally where I would open a support ticket with MS and get their engineers involved. We get X amount of incidents a year because we have a fancy EA, TAM, and Premier support, but even at 250 or 400 or whatever they cost, it's worth it if the business impact is great.

I am a customer of an exchange 2010 hosting company (IT solutions now). I have one application that connects to the exchange server using a Linux script to format and send a basic email. During the daytime, their server has a 30+ second delay on the final acknowledgement of the email. In other words it looks like this: 1. Connect to mail server (0.3 seconds) 2. Send header information (0.1 seconds) 3. Send body information (0.3 seconds) 4. Send "." (end of message) (45 seconds) I have performed the following troubleshooting steps on my end: 1. Tested on multiple networks, problem exists on all 2. Tested with multiple different servers (gmail, exchange 2013). Problem only exists on Ex2010 3. Reduced size of mailbox from 15gb to 4gb, problem persists I am having a hard time getting them to admit there is even an issue, let alone fix it. I know a lot about networking/Linux administration but pretty much nothing about Exchange. Do any of you have any theories as to what might be causing the delay?

Droo posted:I am having a hard time getting them to admit there is even an issue, let alone fix it. I know a lot about networking/Linux administration but pretty much nothing about Exchange. Do any of you have any theories as to what might be causing the delay? This is a feature of Exchange 2010 high availability. When a message is accepted from an outside source the final acknowledgement is delayed until the message has been verified as delivered within the Exchange environment (or handed off to somewhere outside the enivironment). From technet Technet posted:However, when an Exchange 2010 transport server receives a message from a non-Exchange 2010 source, Exchange attempts to achieve shadow redundancy by delaying the acknowledgement to the sending server until it verifies that the message has been successfully delivered to all next hops internally. This way, if the Exchange 2010 server fails, the sending server assumes that the message was never delivered to Exchange and attempts delivery again. Note that they can configure a maximum delay setting using powershell (or disable it). This is also described in the article I linked above. Edit: the configuration for this is on receive connectors, so they could hypothetically make the change for just your machine considering that it has it's own receive connector. Hope that helps.

We get X amount of incidents a year because we have a fancy EA, TAM, and Premier support, but even at 250 or 400 or whatever they cost, it's worth it if the business impact is great. It's not super critical. Most users run outlook in cached mode, so it's just old emails, archives, devices, and OWA that will have issues. But for 90% of the users they are just using outlook and don't notice. I made each department head aware of the problem, so hopefully there aren't any issues that arise from this in the mean time. I will have a tech here tomorrow if I can't get this fixed. Anyway, some more digging last night and today: Found this article about the registry keys I am missing: http://blogs.technet.com/b/johnbai/archive/2013/07/16/exchange-2013-high-availability-fast-search-and-the-windows-registry.aspx And this post from a guy with my same issue for the same reason!. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/7dea2ac7-6f9a-4b2d-800c-1c13a98d84df/cu6-issues?forum=exchangesvrdeploy He manually updated his keys and got it working. I would like to do the same thing. However, I don't have a copy of the server (without pulling backups) to take the registry key structure from like he did. If someone could just look in their registry for 2013 and tell me what the structure (names) and values (String, Multistring, etc) everything should be, then I think this will allow me to enter the GUIDs and status info and get it working again. Path is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v15\Search\IndexStatus I just need the names of the values and the types.

I mitraged from Exchange 2007 to Office 365 3 weeks ago, everything has been running great. I would like to uninstall Exchange 2007 and nuke my 300GB data store, because I am in the process of virtualizing all of our servers and virtualizing an extra 300gb sounds stupid. Uninstalling Exchange shouldn't have any effect on my SQL Server installation on the same server should it?

Put that DB on the cheapest hard drive you can find, hold it for a year, and then purge. Everyone always misses something even with the most perfect, "down to the checkbox" migration. Also, precious snowflakes.

I have a problem with staff going to remote sites, logging onto a PC and pulling down their entire mailbox over the WAN, maxing it out for hours. What are my options in Exchange\Outlook 2010 for limiting the rate at which a client can pull down mail? I dont necessarily mind that they pull 4+gigs of mailbox over the wire, I'd just rather drip-feed it to them at say 200Kb/s.
