Exchange 2010 Mail Submission Service Logging

Hi,
Is there a way to log all submitted messages from outlook clients (online mode) so I can see what is happening to messages that are getting stuck in the Outbox from the server's perspective?
Thank you.

If you look at the logging section in this post
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/11/20/exchange-2010-tweaks.aspx
add key="LoggingTag" value="ConnectDisconnect, Logon, Failures, ApplicationData, Warnings, Throttling" />.
You can also add ROP logging, which are the individual Outlook commands sent, by adding the tag to the above line.
This gets *VERY* busy. *VERY* quickly, so maybe try this out on a test box first to see what that gives you.
Cheers,
Rhoderick

Mail submission service on 2007 SP3 , does not start.

Hello,
I have two Exchange servers 2007 SP3 over Windows 2008 R2. One of them is a combination of the Client Access + Hub transport, and the other only holds the Mailbox role.
Whenever I start up the Mailbox server, the service "Mailbox submission service" does not run, even when it is set to be started automatically.
The two servers reach the Domain controller, they log on well, so, I suppose it is not a problem related to Active Directory.
I manually start the service and apparently it is okay, mails begin to flow normally.
I am reading issues related to Exchange 2010, about this very same service, but not regarding Exchange 2007 SP3.
Thanks in advance!

The same thing happens to me. One service or another does not start when I boot the test Exchange servers. I have to manually start them. Then everything works fine.
See what Ed Crowley wrote. If you shut down your test machines during periods of non-use, this is not unexpected.
As for the service logon (System Local Account), that is indeed the correct setting:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998342(v=exchg.80).aspx
That setting is not something that is normally changed and I don't think changing it would improve matters (it would probably break things).
If you look at the link above, you'll see that the mail submission service is dependent on the Active Directory Topology service. So if that service has not finished starting (has not finished querying Active Directory for the information it needs),
possibly because the CPU on the server is busy performing other startup operations, then it would not matter what the logon account is.
In other words, changing the logon account for the mail submission service will not make the AD Topology service start faster. And the mail submission service cannot start until the AD Topology service does.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server.
It used to work perfectly, and then I lost connection and was never able to establish one. I re-istalled my e-mail account several times, no success.

I am sure all of you got your email issues sorted out by now but i was having trouble settings up exchange email on my Iphone 5S, and the problem i found was to go to settings, icloud, then log into icloud with your apple id first (before setting up the exchange email). Once i logged into my icloud account on my Phone 5S, the exchange server email starting working and synching right away.
to confirm this worked, i even deleted my email account and deleted my Icloud accounts both from my iphone was able to simulated the same exact problem (exchange server would not sync with my Iphone 5S) until i logged back into my Icloud account on my 5S.
Again once i logged into Icloud, the exchange server issues went completely away.
Just wanted to post this so anyone else having the issue could see.

SPAM and Exchange 2010 Mail-enabled Public Folders

Is there a way to determine if mail sent to our Exchange 2010 mail-enabled Public Folders by our customers is ever rejected because it was tagged as spam? The concern is that we might not be receiving some email. We rely on the mail-enabled PF's
heavily, but since they aren't a mailbox there is no Junk E-mail folder to check. We do not have the resources to check EOP on a regular basis throughout the day, and the customer would not get an NDR or anything like that.

Hi,
You can consider to use Message Tracking tool under EMC -> Toolbox to track these messages.

Exchange 2010 - WS-Management Service does not support

Hi,
We have a tool which was used for bulk Mailbox creation, Mailbox Movement etc. This we have used in Exchange 2007 also and was working fine. Now in Exchange 2010 we are facing some issues. Tool is written in VB.
Exchange 2010 SP2 is running in all servers and we have 2 Mailbox Servers in DAG and 2 HUBCAS in CAS Array/NLB.
When Team is trying to fetch the DB details in exchange 2010 through tool they are not able to connect and getting error as
"Connecting to remote Server failed with the following error message. The WS-Management Service does not support the request."
I have checked everything from Exchange like Remorepowersell status, WinRM, WS Managemet dll location and entry in config file everthing seems to be fine.
I checked through EMTShooter tool also and no issues reported and connection was success through EMTShooter.
Pls suggest if anymore we can check to fix the problem.
Note: everything is working frine from Powershell and Exchange Management console.

Exchange 2010 DAG backup & Transaction logs

Hi,
What is Microsoft recommended best practise for Exchange DAG group backup in an environment where there are Active & multiple (2-3) passive copies of the databases?
Is it a good practice to backup transaction logs as frequently as possible in addition to daily full backup ? This I belive will allow to restore the DB to the latest possible state
using last good full backup & transaction logs (Like restoring SQL databases)
Thanks

Hi,
Windows Server Backup can't backup passive copy. If you want to backup both active and passive copies, you need to use DPM or other third party.
Here is a similar thread for your reference.

Exchange 2010 Excessive Archive Transaction Logs

I've got an Exchange 2010 environment with about 225 users over 6 mailbox DB's with corresponding Archive DB's.
They're seeing log files for the archive DB's growing by about 25-30% of the total DB size daily. Those logs are generally about 8 x the logs generated by the corresponding primary mailbox database.
Something like
DB1 = 20GB daily average logs 2GB
DB1Archive = 90GB daily average logs ~28GB
I don't see any Retention policies that have duplicated Tags and the Default policy has no tags assigned.
The customer wants to continue with their existing backup process of weekly fulls and daily incremental/differentials, and missing two days is enough to max out their transaction log volumes. (which are as large as their combined database size).
The archive db's have been in place for at least 12 weeks now so it's not just initial population, which is obvious by the fact that the archive db's are much larger than the original db's and the total logs in a week exceed the DB volumes by 2-3 times.

Hi,
First, please make sure there is no corruption in the retention policies.
If there is no corruption, I recommend you create a new archive mailbox database and move archive mailbox to this new database to check result.
Besides, here is a similar thread for your reference.

Exchange 2010 - Load balancing transaction logs in a DAG

I have a single Exchange 2010 DAG. Within the DAG, I have two mailbox servers. I have 2 DB's mounted on server A, and 3 DB's mounted on server B.
The size and quantity of transaction logs on server A always seem to be larger. It might be the nature of the mailboxes on server A, but I was wondering if there is a tool or script to verify best practices for how the transaction logs should be configured.
Thanks
Ron

So one of the DBs is not replicated? Im not sure what you mean by "how the transaction logs should be configured".
You only real choices are disk location, whether you want to lag a copy or if you want to enable circular logging. Things that with 2 mailbox servers you wouldn't want do other than define the disk location. Otherwise, there isn't much to configure as far
as the logging.

Exchange 2010 mail routing

How did you migrate to Exchange 2010? Did you not migrate the groups or did you set everything up from scratch?

Hi,
We have a new exchange server installed in our domain and we are moving all our mail transmitted through epicor to this server, and I am experiencing this error
There is problem sending customer order confirmations by email. The
message says the mailbox is unavailable. The server response was 5.7.1. Unable
to relay
Now I know there is nothing wrong within Epicor, What is wrong with the Exchange server?
Is it something to do with the receive connectors in the HUB transport I have got set up?
All other mail flow is working correctly

Ian

Exchange 2010 mail storing Architecture

hi I just need to know what is the method that exchange server 2010 use to store the mail,
if I elaborate more when one user sends a mail to few people in the same organization does that mail copies to every users mail box or exchange just uses the referencing method to one single mail.
please help one of my clients using DAG in exchange 2010 and their mail box sizes increasing rapidly. I need to provide a solution to them. please let me know if you want more details
please help me with some links that reveals about these in detail.
thanks In Advance.

Every mailbox will get a copy of the message. Single Instance Storage (SIS) is history.
Dude, Where's My Single Instance?

The server seemed to have restarted on the weekend and the monday I was alerted of the problem.
Yes I did have a anti-virus program running on the server and I have removed the AV Kaspersky Endpoint 8 and the Security Centre but I cannot remove the Mail Server but I think I have turned it off.
EDIT:
Sorry and yes all the other services seem to start fine.
Originally discovered the issue when users could not open Outlook then I discovered the Database was un-mounted and the service was not starting.

Exchange 2010 - Mail Database Recovery after Database Portability Applied

Background:
We had a city-wide power failure at Office A and as a result Exchange Server A (ES-A) was taken offline for an extended period of time. The last good backup of ES-A-DB was from the previous business day. The DR plan was enacted and the
ES-A mailbox database (ES-A-DB) was recovered to Exchange Server B (ES-B) as ES-B-DB2. Keeping in mind that a days worth of emails still reside on ES-A-DB.
Process:
I employed the database portability method when restoring the ES-A-DB to ES-B-DB2 at Office B. I rehomed the exchange users in active directory to now use ES-A-DB2. Users are working fine, activesync worked without issue. All is well.
I now face the situation where power has been restored to Office A and the server is available. I have NOT turned this server on yet as I am not sure what the net affect will be on ES-A and ES-A-DB.
The primary goal of the business is to recover the mail items from the missing day that was not backed up and recovered to ES-B-DB2. What would be the best way to do achieve this objective?
This is what I am thinking, though its all theoretical since I've never been in this situation.
- boot the Exchange Server with the network card disconnected
- Dismount ES-A-DB from ES-A
- Remove ES-A-DB from Exchange Org on ES-B
- Process logs and put the ES-A-DB in a Clean state
- mount as recovery database
- copy differential mail items to ES-B-DB2 mailboxes
Anyone have insight on this?
Thanks for your help in advance.

No need to dismount , remove from the org or boot the server w/o a NIC. The association between Exchange and the user is in AD and you already changed that when you set the new database with database portability.
I would just follow the instructions for restoring back to their current production mailboxes (DB2).
http://exchangeserverpro.com/restoring-mailbox-exchange-server-2013-recovery-database/
Try it with a sample mailbox or two and see how it handles the conflict resolution for duplicates.

Exchange 2010 - Mail redirect

Hello,
i want to set up my Exchange Server 2010 to pass ALL e-mails he recives on 192.168.137.102:25, to the "Filter" which is listening on IP address 192.168.137.103:25, then after it filters the email (for example delete some vulgarisms) it will
send them to my Exchange listening on 192.168.137.102:10025 and then the email will be send to users mailbox.
I've already Set up:
- send connector: Address space: SMTP *, Smarthost: filter.<my_domain>, Source server: <my exchange>
- recive connector: listening All Available IPv4 on 10025, Recive mail from: 192.168.137.103 (my filter IP).
However it don't work propperly. My Filter don't see any traffic, so no data is passed to it from the Exchange. Could you please tell me what else i should configure to have this thing works as i want it to?
Thanks,
Michael

Exchange 2010 Mail Security TLS with HSBC

Dear all,
I have setup an all-in-one exchange server without edge server role. However, it is needed to have TLS mail communication setup with HSBC. May I know what exactly configuration do I need? Do I need to implement an edge server with public cert?
Can I enable TLS without edge server and with self-signed cert?
Thanks a lot
Best Regards,
Elroy

Hi,
it's not possibile to connect on TLS with HSBC without a public CA certificate. Not selfsigned is permitted.
No edge server it's mandatory.
Import certificate on Exchange computer store and set it to use with SMTP service:
Enable-ExchangeCertificate
-Thumbprint CERTTHUMBPRINT -Services SMTP
You need to create a custom send connector, complete domain scope with all HSBC domain and set bridgehead Exchange server. After the send connector creation set the Enforce TLS:
Set-SendConnector CONNECTORNAME -RequireTLS $true
Be careful to default internet receive connector that accept TLS connection.
This is a good site for testing: https://www.checktls.com/
Bye bye.
Raffa!
