Mapi Session limit (EVENT ID 9646), Exchange 2010 fix still valid for exchange 2013?

Hi Guy's,
we run Exchange 2013 + Outlook 2010
as i was investigating an Outlook Sync Error, for a secondary mailbox, i figured out that the Mailbox has more than 500 Folders and that i can see the Evnet ID 9646 (Mapi session exceeded the maximum of 500 objects) on the Exchange Server.
Now i found a fix for Exchange 2010 but not for Ex2013, is the old fix for EX2010 still valid?:
Navigate to HKLM > System > CurrentControlSet > Services > MSExchangeIS > ParametersSystem. Create a new key in ParametersSystem named
MaxObjsPerMapiSession. In MaxObjsPerMapiSession, create a DWORD named
objtFolder with a decimal value of 600. Create a second DWORD named
objtFolderView
anyone an idea on this?
regards
Stefan

OK
i seems that fix is still working and you don't even need to reboot.
Also solved the sync Problems of secondary Mailbox.
regards
Stefan

Coexistence & Upgrade Exchange 2010 SP3 Unified Messaging to Exchange 2013 SP1 UM

Hello Experts,
We're doing Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 upgrade.
This upgrade also include Unified Messaging component which is currently working with Exchange 2010 SP3 and Lync 2013.
We have one dial plan and its SIP URI and Secured.
Looking for high level steps to plan coexistence and upgrade of Unified Messaging from Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 SP1 integrated with Lync 2013. I'll also appreciate tips on what kind of certificate and its Subject name(s).
Microsoft documentation is not very clear and I found it confusing for my scenario. Since I we don't want any downtime for UM users, looking for some help.
Thanks in advance for help.
-DK

Hello Hinte,
Thanks for the information. I have been to this article which explains fresh deployment but doesn't address coexistence and migration scenario.
I'm looking for high level steps only. Can anyone validate and suggest if I'm missing something!
1) Install new CAS+MBX Server
2) Move system mailbox as per MS documentation to Exchange 2013 MBX
3) On CAS+MBX Server Enabled internal CA trusted Cert for UM Services.Internal
CA certs contain only CAS+MBX server's FQDN only.UM services Startup Mode is set to "Dual".
4) Assigned existing SIP URI Based Exchange 2010 Dial plan to New Exchange 2013 Servers.
5) Run Exchucutil.ps1
in Exchange 2013 and OcsUMUtil in Lync 2013 (Again?)
Will this be enough or Do I need to create New Auto attendant or
Haunt Group etc?
Thanks for all the help!

SAP SMTP Configuration for Microsoft Exchange Online (Microsoft Hosted Solution for Exchange - Office365)

Dear All,
We are using Microsoft Exchange Online (Microsoft Hosted Solution for Exchange – Office 365) for sending and receiving emails. Now we want to setup SAP SMTP so that emails / notifications can be sending through SAP via Microsoft Exchange Online. It is quite easy to configure for setting SMTP Services for locally hosted Exchange Server. But this is the first time I am trying to setup for Microsoft Exchange Online.
Current Instance Profile settings are as follows;
is/SMTP/virt_host_1                         *:25000

ms/server_port_0                            PROT=HTTP,PORT=81$$
SCOT Settings are
Mail Host             smtp.office365.com

Please assist if any one configure office365 with SAP.

Hello Majid,
Were you able to setup SCOT for Office365 online, I have to setup same.
Can you help with some guidelines on how you setup.?

MS Exchange 2010 Sp3 Ent Migration to Exchange 2013

Hello,
We currently have 2 Exchange 2010 SP3 servers in 1 DAG. Both servers host CAS, Mailbox and Hub Role.
I want to introduce a 3rd Exchange 2013 Server and slowly move users onto a new DAG I build in Exchange 2013.
Can I create a 3rd Exchange 2013 Server with CAS and Mailbox Server Role and make the 3rd Exchange server (2013) a member of the existing (2010) CAS array then slowly perform local move requests for users mailboxes
from my Exchange 2010 DAG to the Exchange 2013 DAG without any disruption to my outlook, OWA and AS clients?
Exchange 2010 (Windows 2008 R2)
Exchange 2013 (Windows 2012 R2 DataCenter)

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, all Outlook connectivity (Internal and External) takes place over Outlook Anywhere(RPC/HTTP). Thus, CAS array which is used internal for RPC/TCP protocol (MAPI) no longer exists in Exchange 2013.
For your coexistence environment and the plan to migrate all mailboxes to Exchange 2013 in the future,
we need to set all virtual directories for CAS 2013 and enable Outlook Anywhere for Exchange 2010. If the mailbox is moved to Exchange 2013, the Outlook client would connect to the server which is set in Outlook Anywhere External host name
and Internal host name instead of CAS array. If all configurations are proper, CAS 2013 would also proxy the service requests for Exchange 2010 users.

Exchange 2010 Internal Email Delayed for 5 Months

Here are is the msg header which has been modified to hide our domain. This is a small business with 12 users with SBS 2011. This isn't the first time this has happened either. Another user had email delayed for 3 months.

Hi
First i really doubt that you would be able to see those transactions in message tracking logs since the default setting is 30 days.
By default the message tracking log is set to 30 days, you can change that setting though through the Shell:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997984.aspx
If this is the case then you can better increase the tracking logs retention for 3 months for the next delay can be recorded.
Also try to see if you could see some information on the protocol logs as well.

Upgrading from Exchange 2003 Bridgehead servers to Exchange 2010 Transport Hub servers for routing SMTP only

Our company moved from on-premises Exchange 2003 to Office365 and only have 4 Exchange 2003 servers on-prem that we use for Routing email from application servers to Office365. We need to migrate these servers to Exchange 2010 then to Exchange 2013 and
only route email only. Is it possible to upgrade to Exchange 2010 by installing the transport Hub & Mailbox server options only? Our OAB and EWS services come from the CAS servers located on Office365 so we should not need a CAS server to set up Transport
rules or route mail would we? Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated! - Thanks, DWB
Dave

Since it is not internet facing we will not have to worry about configuring an Internet Domain Name when installing the first server, correct? in my planning I was going to
install the Exchange 2010 CAS/Mailbox/Transport Hub roles on one server, then upgrade it to Exchange 2013. Once this is completed I'll then install the 2 mailbox role servers in one Datacenter, and 3 more in our DRP DC. If something happens to the
primary Datacenter I would want it to fail over to the other site. For this I would have to install another CAS/mailbox server in the secondary DC. Would this plan sound about right? Since we moved to Office365 in 2010 I have not had a chance to deal with
actual servers except for the Exchange 2003 servers we still have on-premises. Each of these are located in 4 Regional offices along with single Windows 2008 R2 servers using only the IIS SMTP service for routing mail from on-prem application servers
and print/scanners which email back to the users. The plan is to move to a routing system which will provide both MTA and redundancy if one has an issue.

Exchange 2010 - Moving mailbox database from exchange 2010 server to another exchange 2010 server

Hi,
I have a current existing exchange server running on 2008 R2. apparently the partition that holds the mailbox database is getting full and i need to move some user mailboxes to another environment ( exchange 2010 running on 2008 R2). i transferred some users
successfully to the new location, but am not able to transfer the rest. I am getting the errors:

The queue in 'MBX2010_STAFF' database already contains a move request for 'Erastus XXXXX', while AD reports the mailbox as not being moved. It is possible that someone created this move request recently, while targeting a different domain controller, and AD

0x80070005 is pretty standard access denied entries. I would start digging into ACLs on a handful
of mailboxes.
Is there another Admin that can give it a shot to test their permissions vs yours?

Problem with Exchange 2010 Public Folders after installing Exchange 2013 in my environment.

I currently have an Exchange 2010 server with all the roles installed. Before installing Exchange 2013, I was able to launch the Public Folder Management Console but now I get an error. When I installed Exchange 2013, I got an error saying I
had a instance of Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, but I didn't have any of these servers left. There was still something in AD referencing my old server. I went into ADSIedit and deleted an old administrative group. This deletion caused my access
to my public folders to get messed up. I followed this article, http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766, and I was able to gain access back in my outlook client but I still can't see the public folders in OWA. I also get this error when
trying to access either Default or System Public Folders. "Cannot complete the operation because there isn't an available public folder database on server 'ExchangeServer'. It was running the command 'get-publicfolder - getchildren -identity '\'
-server 'ExchangeServer' "
My Public Folder Database exists and is mounted. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Belinda,
Thank you for responding. Yes you do understand my problem correctly. One correction is that after deleting this entry in ADSIEdit, we couldn't access public folders at all either in Outlook or OWA. I followed these steps in the below article:
http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766
After following these steps and recreating the entry on FolderHieachies in ADSI edit, I was able to gain access to the public folders again through Outlook, but still can't see them in OWA and can't access them in Public Folder Management Console.
Here are the results to your requests:

Exchange 2013 in coexistence with 2010, Outlook keep looking for Exchange 2010 server slow connection

All,
not sure if this topic has already answered, but can't find anything around.
Here's the scenario. Migrating from a single Exchange 2010 to a cluster of 2 + 1 Exchange 2013. Two in a site, One in the other site (DC).
I have migrated successfully a firsat batch of users. Mail flow works perfectly. The only thing is that often the migrated users are experiencing a long time (about 30 minutes) to get their Outlook syncronized. Both OL 2010 and 2013 doesn't make any difference.
They're using OL Anywhere, and I've already tried to rebuild the profile.
From a check on the OL connection status, looks like they're still looking for something on EX2010, but no idea what could be. If I disable the cache mode it works smooth and quick.
My best guess is that is something in cache they're trying to keep updated... but still this doesn't explain the huge delay.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Alessandro,
What happens in OWA? I guess it should be good.
Did you have public folders with Exchange 2010? Were they moved over to Exch 2013? Technically you should move the PF to the latest version from the legacy version before moving over the users?
- Moved the PF to OL2013. same behaviour
May be the outlook clients are looking for th OAB? Did you move the OAB to Exchange 2013?
- Did this too.
Try running outlook on safe mode and see what happens? may be one of the outlook add-in's are looking for something on Exchange 2010?
- Will try that....
Can you do a Test Email Auto Configuration in outlook (Hold CNTRL key and right click on outlook icon on status bar) and see if the exchange url's are pointed to Exch 2013?
- Will try that....
Is this happening to all migrated users or specific? Are they BlackBerry users?
- All users and there are no BB users
Do you have any archived emails on those migrated users? May be outlook is looking for some archived stuff on the Exch 2010 side?
- I instructed Exchange to migrate also the archiving database, however There are no archived mailbox on 2010
Could this be because of any calendar entries? May be migrated user mailboxes are having issues with working with non-migrated mailbox calendars?
- This maybe a possibility. I have only 10 users actively using Exchange, while all others have the mailboxes only because they've Lync. I've completed all migrations today, so there shouldn't be anything left on 2010
Let me know how it went - all the best!

Exchange 2010 - PerfMon - Messages Queued for Delivery = 2,147,483,649

Our monitoring system is alerting Messages Queued for Delivery as 2 Billion messages and the value returned by PerfMon > MSExchangeTransport Queues > Messages Queued for Delivery also matches this number during some samples.
I was wondering, what's going on here. When checking queues using Get-Queue cmdlet it doesn't show more than couple of messages in the queue.
How do I get this fixed? This seems to be a known issue from thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ac121f02-4359-4d18-b86a-9c9c78b320a9/perfmon-messages-queued-for-delivery-2147483764?forum=exchange2010
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ChaituNanl,
Thank you for your question.
By our search, I suggest we update Exchange to Exchange 2010 CU6 or later, because problem also seem to appear to Exchange CU5 or former.
We could download the CU by the following link:

Notice: please note the version of Exchange Service Pack
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Exchange 2010 .Disable external access for Autodiscovery and RPC

Hi Team,
Once i publish my Owa page in exchange 2010 .Automatically i was able to access.
https://domainname.com/autodicovery
https://domainname.com/rpc
https://domainname.com/owa/oma
I need to block access from external world to these websites.Pls help

Hi,
Before we go further, I'd like to confirm if you want to block external Outlook access. If yes, we can disable Outlook Anywhere since external Outlook access use Outlook Anywhere to connect to server.
Additionally, there are three methods for external Outlook users to connect to Autodiscover service. If we don't add public A record and SRV record, Autodiscover cannot work.
And we can separate web sites for internal access and external access and don't add Autodiscover and RPC virtual directories in the external access web site. and here is an article about OWA virtual directory, and you can refer to the article for Autodiscover
and RPC:

Outlook 2010 Exchange 2010 Read Receipt Request for all emails cannot be switched OFF.

I have a strange situation with an Outlook 2010 client using Exchange 2010. The user has Outlook configured so that Under Options/Mail/Tracking - that "Read receipt confirming the recipient has viewed the message" is turned off. Yet everytime she
sends a message, the option to request pops up on the recipient's outlook.
I have tried to toggle the option on and off to no avail. I can switch the Delivery Receipt request on and off and it is no issue.
Can anyone tell me what attribute in ADSIEdit or Exchange is that seems to be stuck ON?

Hi,
I believe you would like to block this only for the user and not for your ORG... ??
Although, you can block this for your entire ORG.
what happens is that the Read receipt contains a "Disposition-Notification-To"
If we get rid of this header we can restrict the receiver to get that prompt.
we can create a Transport rule either for the entire org or for that specific user by making an adjustment in the "exception tab"
for more info refer this blog.

Exchange 2010 - Selecting display names for users with multiple mailboxes

Hi all,
This isn't so much of a problem, but more of a "What is the best way to handle this" sort of thing.
I have a client with Exchange 2010 and multiple domains. Because they must be able to send as each domain, I have them setup with individual accounts/mailboxes for each domain. We're at a point that they have three domains which means three accounts per
user and three listings in the GAL. Their original accounts shows up as Smith, John. The second domain added shows up as First last. I'm at a loss what to use for the third. They want each account to show up in the GAL so that other users can send account
specific stuff to them if needed, but I'm trying to figure out how to keep this relatively organized and not make the name on outbound emails too convoluted.
Any suggestions on a format I can use that will make these accounts stand out from each other in the GAL, but not be a hot mess on the recipient end either?

Primary mailbox (on Exchange 2010) and Personal Archive (on Exchange 2013), possible?

Current environment is Exchange 2010 SP3 RU5 supporting 4,000 Users. Client estate is Outlook 2010 SP1 going on SP2.
We're pulling our Archiving solution away from 3rd party and back into Exchange. Implementing a new set of Exchange 2010 Servers (old DAG or in a new Archive DAG) would be easy. But is there Exchange 2013 stepping stone potential?
Can the Archive DAG / Archive mailboxes be on 2013? i.e. for any given User, leave their primary mailbox on Exchange 2010 and create new Archive mailbox on 2013.
I want to avoid implementing 2010 Archive Servers and then go 2013 Archive 6 months or a year later.
This article suggests 'no':
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/dd979800(v=exchg.150).aspx
"Locating a user’s mailbox and archive on different versions of Exchange Server is not supported."
I've found little info but the odd statement here / there.
Is this the latest position? Is it that cut & dry? Anyone tried it? Why won't it work (or will it but it's not supported)?
Thanks!


Below is a summary of the case for your records:
Symptom:
=============
Is it possible to implement a 2013 environment to host the Archive mailboxes? i.e. for any given User, their primary mailbox is on Exchange 2010 and their Archive
mailbox is on 2013.
Resolution:
=============
It’s not supported to have a user’s primary mailbox reside on an older Exchange version than the user’s archive. If the user’s primary mailbox is still on Exchange
2010, you must move it to Exchange 2013 before or at the same time when you move the archive to Exchange 2013.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj651146(v=exchg.150).aspx
as per the repro in our lab, having the archive mailbox in higher version of exchange would fail with the error above
<the scenario isn't completely relevant, looks like he's trying to put the Primary on 2013 and not the Archive, no matter, we've established there are problems, question is whether they are looking into this area / to patch, they go on...>
At this point in time we don’t have a conformation from the product team, if the above would change in the future exchange versions.
<MS did say on the call that they were not looking at fixing it, naturally this isn't a "never", as per previous statement - they can't commit 100% to the future, but they've provided me the answer - they are not currently looking at resolving/providing
this as a migration scenario, end.>

Inplace Upgrade of Exchange 2010 on SBS 2011 to Exhange 2013

Is it possible to upgrade exchange 2010 that is on SBS 2011 to Exchange 2013?

No 'In Place' Upgrade.
You can move exchange to a new server running 2013.
