Edge 2016 remove specific x-header transport rule

Good morning,

I do have the need to remove a specific x-header on an Exchange Edge server.

I know that I could use the header firewall but the problem is that this header is being set by our antivirus running on Edge and the vendor is not able to remove this header right now.

New-TransportRule, parameters -Name "Test" -RuleErrorAction "Ignore" -Comments "" -StopRuleProcessing "False" -Mode "Enforce" -FromScope "InOrganization" -SenderAddressLocation "Header" -RemoveHeader "X-AV-HEADER-WHICHNEEDSTOBEREMOVED"

results in the following error:

New-TransportRule : A parameter was specified that isn't valid on an Edge Transport server.

I need a rule which applies to all e-mails leaving edge to the internet.
Any ideas?

Delete Specific Mailboxes Email according to the period of time

Dear Exchange Expert,

We are using Exchange Server 2010 on premise server in our environment.

I have many users that don't know how to archive since they are using only OWA version and they are not required to archive too. Since those mailboxes has very limited quota, is there any shell command that could allow me to run so I can delete specific users mailbox email according to specific period says three months old data, etc.

Thanks.

Updating Exchange 2013 from CU7 to CU10

Dear All,

I need your expert Advice on updating my exchange server 2013 CU7 to CU 10. Below is the high level configuration of my environment.

AD site Name :- ProdSite
CAS servers :- 2 CAS servers dedicated to accept connection for internet based client (OWA/Activesync/outlook), both sitting behind F5 HLB dedicated pool.

Multi-role servers:- 3 Multi-role Server which holds MBX/CAS roles on it, sitting behind F5 HLB dedicated pool

Journaling server :- 1 MBX server which only has MBX role on it for Journaling.

Now my question how should i start the upgrade, should i first upgrade the 2 dedicated CAS and 1 Journaling server in one weekend i.e Saturday one at a time and remaining 3 multi-role server servers in next weekend.

Or should i plan to upgrade the 3 multi-role servers in first weekend and then upgrade other 3 server (2 CAS+1 Journaling) in next weekend.

Just want to make sure i am not breaking the connectivity for external clients. As most of my clients connect ~ 3500 users from internet.

Public Folder Migration

Good Morning all.

I am mid migration EX2010 to EX2013. All mailbox's are moved and i am now taking over the Public folder migration part. FUN......

I downloaded the scripts supplied by microsoft and run the script to generate the public folder sizes, but something doesn't add up.

the script results suggest Two of the folders sizes are way above what they seem to be. 

1. First capture is what the script has captured in folder size

2. Second capture is what the folder size is suggested by exchange and outlook.

Now if the size is in KB how dose 645856 KB Becomes 662185172 ??

Any ideas ?

Legacy 2010 hybrid config for retired servers causing new 2013 hybrid config to fail

I piloted a migration to O365 a few years ago when my environment was mainly Exchange 2007.  I had to standup a couple 2010 CAS's to proxy the traffic.  We scrapped the pilot after testing, and of course there was no way to remove the config beyond ADSIEDIT.  

Fast forward to today with my environment all Exchange 2013, and I'm trying to standup a new hybrid configuration.  The Hybrid Configuration Wizard detects the old config and offers to upgrade it.  If I don't check "upgrade", I can't continue.  When it tries to upgrade the configuration, it tries to connect one of the old Exchange 2010 CAS servers that have been retired for over a year.  As far as I can tell, the MSExchCoexistenceServers and MSExchCoexistenceTransportServers attributes in the Hybrid Configuration portion of the schema are the only references to these servers left in Active Directory.  Exchange was gracefully removed, the servers were removed from AD, and they were powered off.  I tried adding a DNS A record to point that name to a new server.  I also tried changing the schema attributes to point to a new server.  Neither worked.

What are my options here?  I figure if worse comes to worse I can cross my fingers and run remove-hybridconfiguration (notes say to only do this with MS Support) or just blow away that part of the schema.  Neither are really too appealing to me. Thanks!

pop3 not advertising ntlm and gssapi

Hello,

i got 4 Exchange Servers here, and this is about Authentication testing.

I wonder, how i can debug why pop3 is not advertising capatability ntlm and gssapi on the exchange 2013 and exchange 2016.

Healthstatus is ok, configuration is as of exchange 2007 and exchange 2010. It just wont advertise those authmechs.

plaintextauthentication:::   CAPA  --->>>    TOP UIDL STLS

plaintextlogin:::     CAPA ---->>>   TOP UIDL SASL PLAIN USER STLS

i want:: CAPA --->>>   TOP UIDL SASL NTLM GSSAPI STLS

both 2013 and 2016 are cross forest, but i guess the forest difficulties should come after capa and a auth try ?

exchange 2007 is also cross forest, and working, exchange 2010 is not cross forest, and working, all the same settings

any hints here ?

Thanks!

Using Mount Points

Hello Everyone,

I have a few questions/issue regarding using mount points for databases/transaction logs:

1. In general, where do mount points log their activity/events? (Which Windows Event Log)

2. Is there a setting needed to enable monitoring of mount points? (Whether that be at the OS level or in Exchange)

3. Regarding monitoring, how do you monitor mount point free space, specifically with SCOM 2012 R2? (Exchange 2013 installed on Server 2012 R2)

Thank you all in advance!

Exchange 2007 to 2103 mailbox move - homeMDB failure

I have moved 104/112 mailboxes to Exchange Server 2013.  7 of the mailboxes failed with the homeMDB attribute issues.  I have enabled inherit permissions for each user.  I could not migrate the mailboxes using the EAC after making the change. I have tried moving the mailbox from EMC using the new-moverequest and that did not work.  What needs to be done move these mailboxes to the new server.

I have another mailbox that completed with issues.  It had 23 bad items, 10 above the threshold.  Can I complete the migration without any issues?  The 23 items are all located in the Deleted Items.  If they are lost, no big deal.

Removing OWA from the Exchange 2013 Server

We are looking at reducing the number of tcp/udp ports on our exchange server because of compliance and we don't use OWA. Is there a way to remove OWA and all it's port from the server. I did see how disable OWA but was not sure if that would remove the ports that go along with OWA. We need to do this for compliance and only for compliance.

Command to disable the OWA:

set-casmailbox -Identity "user" -OWAEnabled $false

Remove-Storemailbox cmdlet didn't change the size of my database

I have a few users that have left the organization and had rather large mailboxes.  I was doing some cleanup and deleted the mailboxes only to find out they were still in a disconnected state. I ran the cmdlet: Remove-StoreMailbox -Database "DBName"-Identity"mailboxguid here" -MailboxState Disabled.  After running that command the mailbox was gone from the database however, I noticed I didn't reclaim any space.  The users mailbox was 15GB but yet I didn't get back that space.  Is there another command I have to run?  This is a single Exchange 2013 SP1 server.

Thanks

Reply All includes me the sender in Outlook 2013 but not windows mail app or outlook on the web with the same email.

I have Outlook 2013 on my desktop with exchange server. How can I keep Reply all from including me the sender.  I don't have this problem when I use the same email account with the windows mail app or outlook from the Web. The email address is the same in the exchange server as it is in contacts. I didn't have this problem before I had to remove and recreate the same email account in my Outlook 2013 to fix a notification problem. Thanks for your help.

I was referred here after I originally sent this question to the outlook 2013 community.

Cant Delete Expired Cert, need to change default cert to new one

Hi all,

We have a paid for SSL cert which expired on jan 26th 2016, and it now keeps flagging up as being an error in Exchange 2013. When i go to delete it via powershell i get the error:

A special RPC error occurs on server XXXXX: the internal transport certificate cannot be removed becauase that would cause the Microsoft Exchange Transport service to stop. To replace the internal transport certificate create a new certificate. The new certificate will automatically become the internal transport certificate. You can then remove the existing certificate.

This seems to make sense to me but my question is how do i make my new paid for SSL cert ( which is already running and being used for all services ) the default one?

Do i really need to create a new exchange certificate using the command or can i make this my default somehow. Can anyone confirm the process and the commands i need to use? I would like to delete the expired cert in a clean way rather than just delete in from an MMC and have an error in the event log about an expired internal transport cert. Hope you can help cheers



Outlook profile server guid shows incorrect domain

Hi- Still working on my 2010 to 2013 migration. Single 2010 server, single site, migrating to single multi-role 2013 server.

When we first started I wanted to use a different namespace for the 2013 server (newdomain.com) BUT NOW, because of some config issues we were having, I don't want to usenewdomain.com, I want to use the same namespace we are currently using for 2010 server,mydomain.com.

When I create a new outlook profile for a test mailbox on the 2013 server, it can't connect during the auto-configure stage. It fails at "Logging on to the mail server" with the error: The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete the action.

When I click on OK, the dialog box comes up with the Microsoft Exchange server field and the value there shows a different value depending on what I have set for AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri

If the AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri value is set to https://Exch2013Server.domain.local/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml the Microsoft Exchange server field displays:[serverguid]@newdomain.com.

If the AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri value is set to https://mail.mydomain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml the Microsoft Exchange server field displays:Exch2013Server

How can I get this to display [serverguid]@mydomain.com?

Thanx
