Hello

I need idea:

I have got exchange 2013 hybrid config with adfs auth without sso. free/busy mailbox move is working correctly.

But after mailbox move to 365 all outlook client prompt password when trying to establish connection to outlook.offiice365.com after enter password connection establish.

I try: change rpc to mapi and back, AlwaysUseMSOAuthForAutoDiscover reg setting but not help.
I think exchange server config error but where....

Any idea?

sorry my english

When managing mailbox delegation from the Exchange 2013 ECP, a few users do not show up when adding send as permissions.  I can add the the user to Full Access but when I click the + to add them with Send As permission, the user is not listed.  I can see many users, just not the one I need.

Does anyone know what might be preventing the ECP from displaying certain users when adding them to send as for a shared mailbox?

We are currently migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.  I have done a few test users and all seems to be working fine accept for Free/Busy information.

If you are still on Exchange 2010 you can see all the other Exchange 2010 users' free/busy.

If you are on Exchange 2013 you can see all users free/busy on 2013 AND 2010.

If you are still on Exchange 2010 you CANNOT see Exchange 2013 users' Free/Busy.

As we move more users over to 2013 this is going to become a problem as our users create loads of meetings and need to be able to see the free/busy time.

Have I missed something or is there an issue with this scenario?

Thanks for any help.

Hi There,

We have just migrated all of our users/shared mailboxes over to our new exchange 2013 box, from exchange 2010. But have noticed 4 mailboxes that appear as a Legacy Mailbox which appear in the exchange console but has no mailbox nor are they attached to a mailbox database. So cannot migrate them to the new servers. We know they are old accounts but the worrying thing is one of the accounts looks like its the Administrator account

Any suggestions on what to do here?

Regards

Ravinder

Dear all,

I am currently setting up Exchange 2013 new server in parallel to my current Exchanege 2010, so I can migrate my mailboxes to Exchange 2013 and switchover to Exchange 2013.

We are using Windows 2016 Active directory (func level Win2008R2), which was upgraded from Windows 2008 R2 (func level Win2003) few weeks ago.

I am trying to upgrade the Exchange 2013 SP1 to the latest Cumulative Update 23 - CU23.

I have encountered a problem , where I cannot upgrade the Exchange 2013 SP1 to CU23.

The Exchange Setup log is as below.

I have checked various articles and permissions and various other ways , still cannot solve.

Please help me on this.

Hi:

I have a Exchange 2010 test migration to 2013 enviroment , On the 2013 for some issues I´ve delete-remove the Powershell VirtualDirectory with the Remove-PowerShellVirtualDirectory , then I´ve closed the Shell and I´ve tried to reopent and of course it conect to other Exchange 2010 server VirtualDirectory.

I´ve tried to recreate the Virtual Directory but it said VirtualDirectory is created because it tries to create it on the other Exchange 2010 server that has its own virtualdirectory

How can I create the virtual directory on my new 2013, I´ve tried with the -server option but Exchange 2010 doesn´t accept this option:

Even I´ve tried to create handly the VirtualDirectory on IIS but no way.

Pls, some help.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I have an issue with Room Finder and Address Book Policies whereby when a mailbox user is apart of an ABP they cannot see any rooms within the room finder in Outlook. They can however see their organisations rooms in the address book (which is the intended outcome of using ABPs)
If the user is part of the default GAL (no ABP) then all roomlists can be seen in room finder making me suspect that the problem is with the ABP

I came across an article which is very similar to the problem that I am encountering however I am already using the suggested fix (using recipient filters) -

Background to configuration

We have a multi tenant exchange 2013 environment where each tenant is segmented from other tenants by the use of address book policies.

Each tenant have been set-up using the following cmdlets:

New-GlobalAddressList -Name "TenantName - GAL" -ConditionalCustomAttribute15 "ABC" -IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-AddressList -Name "TenantName - All Rooms" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ABC') -and (RecipientDisplayType -eq 'ConferenceRoomMailbox')" -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-AddressList -Name "TenantName - All Users" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ABC') -and (ObjectClass -eq 'User')" -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-AddressList -Name "TenantName - All Contacts" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ABC) -and (ObjectClass -eq 'Contact')" -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-AddressList -Name "TenantName - All Groups" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ABC') -and (ObjectClass -eq 'Group')" -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-OfflineAddressBook -Name "TenantName" -AddressLists "TenantName - GAL" 
New-AddressBookPolicy -Name "TenantName" -AddressLists "TenantName - All Users", "TenantName - All Contacts", "TenantName - All Groups" -GlobalAddressList "TenantName - GAL" -OfflineAddressBook "TenantName" -RoomList "TenantName - All Rooms"

As you can see each address list is populated by custom attribute 15 corresponding to the tenants code (of local significance) and the OU that the object resides in.

N.B. I have rebuilt my outlook profile, switched to non-cached mode to no avail

To reiterate, the ABP is working great apart from this room finder feature issue, each tenant can only see their rooms in their address book just not in the room finder.

I have tried to build distribution group roomlists and set the custom attribute and OU to test but this didn't work as I'm aware you can only have address lists in the set-addressbookpolicy -roomlist cmdlet parameter, not distribution groups

Please Help!

I'm in the process of migrating from E2013 to E2016. I've tried to start my mailbox moves, but any user I migrate just stays in a "syncing" state. I've left batches running for days and it never changes. The users are only test accounts, so there really is almost no data. I am also only doing 1 user at a time until it is successful.

On the E2016 event log, it shows the migration cmdlet was started successfully. No other events after that. On the E2013, no messages there either.

Running the Get-MoveRequest -BatchName "Pilot" | Get-MoveRequestStatistics cmdlet yields nothing. It just returns to a prompt with no output.

I've had to kill the batches forcefully as deleting them also just hangs in a state of deleting.

I've tried restarting a Mailbox Replication as others have suggested and that doesn't do anything either.

Any ideas?

Hello everyone

any help or guidance will be appreciated

Hi,

I migrated a bunch of mailboxes cross forest from a 2007 exchange server to a freshly installed 2013 CU8 server (new forest/domain).

Things seem to be ok, there is one odd thing though - The room mailboxes I migrated do not show in the administration panel.

Get-Mailbox lists them and they show up on OWA, too.

Any idea?

Thank you

Hi, 

We are in the middle of a migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013, and they are currently coexisting on the network. We are currently migrating mailbox in batch of 15-20 users and for the first 100 or so, everything was fine, but we encountered an issue and after a few days of troubleshooting, decided to ask for help. So here’s the issue :

Only some user cannot open total control mailbox. Every time the user open their Outlook for the first time, Outlook ask for their credentials for the additional mailbox, and in some cases, the credential windows won’t disappear. The user can send and receive message from his own account, but if the user wants to access the Full Access mailbox added through the EMC mailbox delegation, this message shows up : “Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the exchange computer is down for maintenance.” . The user can have access to the calendar and the contacts of the attached mailbox but the inbox is unavailable.

Here’s our configuration and what we’ve actually tried to solve this issue :

General configuration :

• All Exchange 2013’s internal and external virtual directory are in the same format : https://ourserverfqdn/ExchangeDirectoryPathofTheVirtualDirectoryORServiceLikeCAS
• Those addresses are different from Exchange 2010
• We have Autodiscover DNS records for both of our Exchange server
• DNS also have the server’s FQDN
• Our users use Office Pro 2010 with the latest updates
• All the mailbox transfers from one Database to the other are clear (no errors)

What we’ve tried up to this point :

• Remove and add back the rights with the ECP
• Tried to remove the access and add them back using PowerShell
• Delete the Outlook profile and create a new one
• Adding the Outlook account directly with the credential in the account parameters
• Adding the Outlook account in the profile advanced settings
• Uninstalling Office, then reinstalling it
• Replacing the actual computer
  • This “solution” actually works, with exactly the same specs and Office Pro 2010 updated (only works sometime. All other times, we need to replace Office 2010 with Office 2013 on the new computer). But replacing every user computer with this issue is only a way to avoid the actual issue.
• Uninstalling Office 2010 and go with Office 2013
  • This “solution” actually works as well (only sometimes. All other times we need to replace the computer itself), but we do not have enough licence to move every user to this version (due to an program we use, every user with access to it must be on the same Excel/Word/Outlook versions, or else it won’t work, which represents, well, all our users) and to avoid the issue once again.

So as of now, as a temporary measure, users with 1 or 2 Full Access mailbox, have access through the webpage, but some of them have multiple (over 5), and this temporary measure isn’t very effective.

Is there something we missed, or any configuration we could try to resolve this issue ?

Thanks

Hi,

We are planning to upgrade our AD 2003 to AD 2019. But we would like to confirm if Exchange 2013 SP1 is compatible with Windows Server 2019 Active Directory?

Your response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

So, i have deployed: 2 WAP (2016), 2 ADFS (2016), 2 SQL Clustering (2008R2) and 1 Azure AD Connect.

My hosted exchange servers:

After integrating my Hosted Exchange 2013 CU23 with Office 365 (Hybrid Configuration) with 1 tenant to test, in the final configuration tab, i'm receiving this error bellow:

<#

#>

Boths credentials is ok in both sides. I have validated the two credentials in my on-premisses and Office 365 for Admin Tenant.

More details:

The problem must be here in this message, but i don't know how to resolve this problem.

The call to 'https://exchange.domainmail.com.br/EWS/mrsproxy.svc' failed. Error details: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Negotiate'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm="exchange.domainmail.com.br",Negotiate,NTLM'. --> The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. --> The logon attempt failed.

But i look in my CAS and look like fine.

Other information.: My environment has SSLOffloading / Reverse Proxy Configured in Load Balance.

My EWS Configuration:

EWS is fine externally.

I was searching anything in this folder logs, but i don't know why this bad requests:

C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR

So guys, any idea about this problem?!

Thanks anyway!

I'm trying to remove all ProxySmtp addresses for domain xyz.com in our organization.  This is not the primary SMTP address, and it is no longer an accepted domain.  

Basically I want a search of all mailboxes which have an address in the domain to be removed, then remove the addresses for that domain.  I am able to search and get results for each mailbox with an address in that domain, but when any script runs the portion to (allegedly) remove that address it does not work.  The address is still present on each mailbox.

Does anyone have a script that they have tested and can verify that it works?  The ones I've tried are all variations of this:

Get-Mailbox-result unlimited |foreach{for($i=0;$i -lt $_.EmailAddresses.Count; $i++){
        $address = $_.EmailAddresses[$i]if($address.IsPrimaryAddress-eq $false -and $address.SmtpAddress-like "*xyz.com"){
            $_.EmailAddresses.RemoveAt($i)
            $i--}}Set-Mailbox-Identity $_.Identity-EmailAddresses $_.EmailAddresses}

I first ran this with -ResultSize set to 1 (just to ensure it would work before I let it crawl every mailbox) and no luck.

I have also tried:

$adresses_dyndns =get-mailbox -ResultSize1|where{$_.EmailAddresses-like "*xyz.com*"}foreach($EmailAddress in $adresses_dyndns){for($i=$EmailAddress.EmailAddresses.Count;$i -ge 0; $i–-){

            $address = $EmailAddress.EmailAddresses[$i]if($address.SmtpAddress-like "*xyz.com*"){Write-host(" Remove smtp adress:  "+ $address.AddressString.ToString())

                  $EmailAddress.EmailAddresses.RemoveAt($i)}}

            $EmailAddress|Set-Mailbox}

Same non-result. 

Is there a reason that Exchange would refuse to remove addresses with the domain specified?
