How to do the hard recovery for exchange 2010 (No Restore.env generated)

enrollment:Windows server 2008 R2, exchange 2010.
I want to test the fundamentally of eseutil /cc
so I backup the exchange database by Using the Windows backup, then I restore the database, and no Restore.env be found.But I found I can run the
eseutil /r.
what's happened?
1,why No Restore.env generated for exchange 2010 in Windows server 2008 r2?
2,why I can do the soft recovery after the restoring the database?
3, how to do the hard recovery for this situation(No Restore.env )?
Please click the Mark as Answer button if a post solves your problem!

Hi Eric,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. Before performing the restore process, we need to dismount the Exchange databases that we want to restore. If the database is still mounted, the restore process will fail. If the restore process doesn't succeed, Restore.env won't be generated.
2. It is because the log files are healthy, you can run Eseutil/r and perform soft recovery.
3. In your case, you can continue to perform the soft recovery.
For more information about hard recovery and soft recovery, here are some helpful threads for your reference.

Unable to install rollup4 for Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi,
I'm unable to install KB2905616 on my multi-role Exchange 2010 SP3 server. The setup wizard gets stuck at "the setup wizard is generating native images for .NET assemblies........"
I know that this process will take some time to complete but I have waited 10 hours.
I've tried to reboot the server and restart the setup.
Exchange is functioning perfectly otherwise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi,
I recommend you check if the anti-virus has been disabled before you start the upgrade process.
If you didn't ,the update could fail or take an extended amount of time.
Also, disable all other third-party apps/plugins that might be installed (like backup agents).
In addition,the following articles for your reference:
Install the Latest Update Rollup for Exchange 2010
When you install an update rollup package, Exchange tries to connect to the certificate revocation list (CRL) Web site. Exchange examines the CRL list to verify the code signing certificate. (To download and view the CRL list, see
CodeSignPCA.crl.) If Exchange can't connect to the CRL Web site, the following symptoms may occur:
The installation takes a long time to complete.
You receive the following message during the installation: Creating native images for .Net assemblies
When Exchange isn't connected to the Internet, each CRL request must complete before the installation can continue.
To work around this issue and to reduce installation times, turn off the
Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option on the server that is being upgraded. Use the following steps:
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab, and then locate the Security section.
Clear the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation check box, and then click
OK.
After the update rollup installation is complete, select the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option.
Generating NGEN images takes longer than expected
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Okay, then what about an alternative for getting the same result. The file associated in the article is too much. All we need is something simple for a single exchange server with 180 users. We only need to pull UserName and DataSize(KB).
I only need to collect two pieces of information from the exchange server and the third piece is forced due to the date of when the information was collected. This way I can sort and filter by Date and Name to see a trend of the users mailbox usage
size.
Every day this runs, it determines the date of the file which is also the first piece, then pulls from the exchange server the entire list of users (the second piece), and then the respective user's mailbox size in KB (the third piece). This all is
dropped into a CSV file later used to import into a database before being archived, done by a second task on the server. Later used by a shared Excel PowerPivot document among the department.
Those of us in the server admin group use this to, at a glance, see the collective size of email usage on the server. Mainly used as a means of catching an incident before it happens. We are currently keeping our users around a collective 80GB
of use out of the well received limit of 110GB on Exchange 2003 and limiting the user's ability to send and receive email by email quota is apparently not accepted for us to do. So we use this to determine who we need to visit and force archive their
email so the server doesn't fail due to the size limit.

Forefront for exchange 2010 - how long?

Hi there.
Read this article: http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx
I would have additional question.
Our company is MS Gold Partner and we need to renew our yearly license every year around AUGUST.
We are thinking about changing our SPAM filter external gateway with exchange edge, but as we can see from that article, you Will be unable to renew it license after December 2015.
I know that Microsoft offers online Forefront protection but that is not option in our case because of data sensitivity.We need an answer how long we Will be able to get updates regarding forefront for exchange 2010 and be licensed ok?
I guess after 2015 december Forefront Exchange 2010 Will no longer recieve spam updates thru Windows update, right?
And also engines Will not be updated after that date?
Is this the correct view and understanding?
with best regards
bostjanc

Hi Bostjanc,
>>how long we Will be able to get updates regarding forefront for exchange 2010 and be licensed ok?
I think you must have seen the information below in that blog.
For current customers, Microsoft will continue to support the subscription through Dec.31, 2015. If customer subcriptions expire before Dec.31, 2015, and annot be renewed because the product is no longer offered, these products will continue to be supported
through that date in order to provided with customers sufficient time to move to alternative solutions.

Critical event Ids for exchange 2010

I need a list if critical event ids for exchange 2010 which should be monitored regularly. So that a script can be scheduled to report if in case any of these event ids are encountered. I have complied a list below and request you guys to add on this list.
Event ID Message

1022 Database is damaged. This means that online backup cannot complete because the database is damaged.
1034 The disk associated with cluster disk resource driveLetter could not be found. The expected signature of the disk was diskSignature.

9559 The log disk is full for storage group "name". Attempting to unmount all databases in this storage group.

Hi Striker11,
Thank you for your question.
I agree with Martin. We should find a tool to monitor those errors or warning. Because there are many Event IDs in Exchange 2010. If those errors or warnings are both important for Exchange maintenance. If Exchange 2010 update to Exchange 2013, we will still
use tool to monitor it and not modify the script.
We could download SCOM by the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2268
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Rollup 8 for Exchange 2010 SP2 causes EWS error with bad parameter for Exchange.MailboxReplicationService.ProxyService

When I installed Rollup 8 for Exchange 2010 SP2 it caused an error in EWS
EWS failed with the error:
exchange web service could not load file or assembly Exchange.MailboxReplicationService.ProxyService bad parameter
When I uninstalled the rollup all worked fine again.
Any ideas, Thanks in advance?

Hi,
To apply this update rollup, you must have Exchange Server 2010 SP2 installed. And remove all interim updates for Exchange Server 2010 SP2 before you apply this update rollup. Please check your installation deployment by the following article:
Install the Latest Update Rollup for Exchange 2010

If all requirements and preparations are configured properly, please collect your error logs to check your installation. It would be helpful to post some event logs here for further analysis.

How to set default website for exchange 2010

I'm unable to launch the Exchange Management Console, and then I read that it's necessary to set the default web site in a particular way, in order for Exchange 2010 Management Console to work:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchange2010/thread/4d396628-3867-4c95-9541-e0eb021e0135
However, after setting up Sharepoint, I see that it has modified the default website, and I'd like to ask for specific settings on how the default web site bindings should look (for exchange). Could someone please advise what I need to do to correct it?
I'm having trouble interpreting what Mike Crowley recommends in the linked post above, in terms of actual steps to the site binding information (which won't mess up what exists).
Currently it says:
Type           port         ip address        binding information
net.tcp
808:*
net.pipe
net.msmq                                         localhost
msmq.formatname                            localhost
http            80             127.0.0.1
https          443            *
http           80              *
https          443            127.0.0.1
It seems the line for http on port 80 is *, which I guess is equivalent to 'all unassigned'. Is the previous http port 80 binding to 127.0.0.1 causing the problem?
But I'm also supposed to set a Powershell VDir in IIS. Can someone provide steps for that?

Regarding SharePoint on Exchange:
It was not allowed earlier, as documented here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-portal-server-it/coexistence-and-interoperability-guide-for-sharepoint-products-and-technologies-HA001160777.aspx & here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825505 but there doesn't seem to be anything more recent than this. I would work under the assumption it is not supported outside of
SBS 2011 (which I am not very familiar
with).

Hi,
What update rollup are you running on the DPM 2012 R2 server ? DPM 2012 R2 UR5 introduced a new refresh feature that will re-enumerate data sources on an individual protected server.
Check for VSS errors inside the guests that are having problems being backed up.

Outlook 2007 Clients Cannot Access Free/Busy Calendar info. for Exchange 2010 Mailbox

Hi:
I have Outlook 2007 clients that cannot access Free/Busy Calendar info. for Exchange 2010 mailboxes. They receive error like "...you do not have appropriate permissions..."
If those same users logon to a machine running Outlook 2010 then they can view the free/busy info. of the other user's mailbox, so I believe the permissions are set correctly on the mailbox to allow the viewing.
Any insights are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Bob Herman IT Tropolis

Hi Herman,
As you said, it seems users have proper permissions on mailbox.
Please make sure users has Reviewer permission on Outlook 2007.
Please try to run Outlook 2007 under safe mode or re-create profile.
Also try to turn Outlook 2007 to Exchange Online mode from Cached mode.

Configuration for LDAP IP Address and Port for Exchange 2010

Let's say Exchange 2010 is installed on a computer that is joined to a domain. However, I would like to redirect LDAP authentication to another IP address and another port like how sharepoint implement it below
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/33540/ldap-authentication-connection-string
Is it possible to do the equivalent for Exchange 2010?
Note: I would like to do this without installing any Edge Transport server or Microsoft Forefront TMG

The question I would need to ask is "Why would you need to do this?" I ask because Exchange requires an Active Directory account for authentication. That account may have permissions from some other directory (as in a linked mailbox),
but the account is used to find it. For SharePoint, you can authenticate to other directories directly.

Transport Rule MessageSizeOver for exchange 2010

Hi
I have an exchange 2010 SP3 RU 3 environment with edge transport server implemented. I want to Have Transport rules to limit message size going outside/coming inside on edge transport.
I recently found a solution with -messagesizeover switch for new-trasportrule command in exchange 2013. Unfortunately its unavailable in exchange 2010.
I am wondering if there is a workaround or update for exchange 2010 to add this functionality.
Thanks in advance
Farhad

Hi,
On Exchange 2010, there is no MessageSizeOver parameter when you create a transport rule. But you can limit the sending and receiving message size of the whole Exchange organization using the following cmdlet.
Set-TransportConfig -MaxReceiveSize xxx -MaxSendSize xxx
If you want to limit the sending and receiving messages size for a specific mailbox, you can use the cmdlet below.
Set-Mailbox xxx –MaxSendSize xxx –MaxReceiveSize xxx
Hope it helps.
