Exchange 2010 MP ignoring overrides

Hi all,
We are getting spammed with SCOM alerts for Exchange 2010, specifically with "The database copy is low on log volume space". I have edited the properties of the monitor and set up two overrides so that we would only start getting warnings
at 35% and then errors at 25% free disk space. Unfortunately, SCOM appears to be ignoring these threshold overrides altogether. Have I missed something?
Thanks,
G

That depends how you have made the override - for a specific object or all objects of that class?
Check the Effective Value field in the override properties for the target. If that is correct, you can try two things:
1. Set the Enforced value on the override
2. Set the override for the Windows server object
If it is false, you have created the override incorrectly.

Exchange 2010 Dynamic Distribution Group - RecipientContainer ignored

Maybe someone will be able to help me with this... I am trying to create DDGs for my organization but it seems the "RecipientContainer" is being ignored. I have reorganized AD to include a top level OU called "Active Employees"
and within that are sub-OUs for each department. I also have a top level OU for "Disabled Accounts" and users in those OUs are ending up on my DDG. Is this a known issue with Exchange 2010?
First I had created the DDG in EMC and everything looked good. I set the Recipient Container on the Filter tab by using the browse button and selecting mydomain.local\Active Employees, and then selected "Users with Exchange Mailboxes".
On the Conditions tab I left everything blank and when I clicked on Preview it returned the list of users I expected to see. After sending a test email and receiving an NDR from an email contact (not on the preview list) I realized something was
wrong.
At this point I found out how to query the group members using the shell and saw that all users in the entire domain were being put into the group. To resolve this I added a Condition for Company name and then tediously updated the field for each user
in AD. After querying the group from the shell again the results looked a little better - it was actually only pulling users with the correct "Company" in AD. The problem is it still seems to be ignoring the RecipientContainer parameter
and querying the entire domain instead of my Active Employees OU.
I have reproduced the same results whether creating the DDG from EMC or from the Shell. When I try to use the Set-DynamicDistributionGroup cmdlet to update the recipient container it warns me that the commad was successful but nothing has been modified.
This was supposed to be a simple solution for keeping our distribution groups up to date - maybe I should've known better...

Hello Dave,
Thanks for the post. Let me tell you how I was able to go ahead and resolve the issue in my lab.
I had created a OU called Enabled users
Then I created Two different Child Ou's : Disabledusersou1 and DisabledUsersou2
So if I open the ADUC my OU would look something like this
EnabledUsers
Disbaledusersou1
Disbaledusersou2
Now I Had created users on all the above Ou's. When I created a Dynamicdistributiongroup with the recipientcontainer as EnabledUsers, it picked up users even from Disabledusersou1 and Disabledusersou2. Then I set the
customattribute1 to test in the DynamicDistributiongroup.
Then I went ahead and ran the following command
Get-mailbox | {$_.Organizationalunit -like "domain.local\EnabledUsers"}
The above command listed only the users from the enabledusers Ou. Now the next step was to go ahead and add the customattribute1 to test on the Users in the EnabledUsers OU. So I ran the following command
Get-mailbox | {$_.Organizationalunit -like "domain.local\EnabledUsers"} | set-mailbox -customattribute1 test
After I ran the above command. I waited for the AD replication. Once the Ad was replicated, I went ahead and did a Preview in the DynamicDistributiongroup and only found users from the EnabledUsers.
I even confirmed by sending an email to the dynamicdistributiongroup with a delivery receipt. I got the receipt for all the users in the EnabledUsers OU.
Waiting to hear from you

Calendar Free/Busy permissions being ignored for users migrated from Exchange 2003, fine for new users created on Exchange 2010

I have uncovered a situation where it seems the free/busy permissions are being ignored for users that were migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.
I have the default permissions set to only show Free/Busy Time, not Details. However if I look at the calendar for a users who was migrated from the old Exchange 2003 server, I can see details. If I look
at a newer user who was added directly to the Exchange 2010 server, I (correctly) only see the times and "Free" or "Busy", not the specific details.
I verified the permissions on the migrated mailboxes many different ways (Exfolders, cmdlets, etc) and all signs point to only allow showing Free/Busy Times, but alas, I can still see the Details as well.
My users are using Outlook 2010.

Hi,
Does this issue occur on Outlook only or both Outlook and OWA?
Since you have double checked the permissions via multiple methods, it seems there is nothing problem on permission. Please make sure the migration from Exchange 2003 server completed successfully.
If in OWA everything goes well (cannot see details), it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
Thanks

Exchange 2010 Management Pack Data Warehouse Synchronization Fails

Hi Everyone!
Has anyone had success with importing the Exchange 2010 management pack into Service Manager 2012?
When we try to import it, it fails.
Upon further investigation, the 'System Center Core Monitoring' management pack (which is not included with Service Manager 2012) is a dependency of the Exchange 2010 management pack but
after we import it from the OpsMgr 2012 media, we still get the following warning when we import the Exchange 2010 management into Service Manager 2012...
"The management pack was imported successfully.
Warnings (1):
Override verification failed, cannot find Management Pack Element : : Cannot find ManagementPackElement [Type=ManagementPackRule, ID=Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent.MonitoringHost.PrivateBytesThreshold] in management pack ManagementPack:[Name=Microsoft.SystemCenter.2007,
KeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, Version=6.0.6246.0]."
...and, the Exchange 2010 management pack status in the Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse 'Management Pack' view indicates 'failed' after the MPSyncJob completes.
We have a few 'Business Services' which depend on the Exchange 2010 management pack that we are trying to synchronize from OpsMgr 2012 and we are stuck until we can get the Exchange 2010 management
successfully imported into Service Manager 2012 and have it show a status of 'Completed' the Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse 'Management Pack' view.
Nothing useful in the
Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse and Management servers events logs that we could see.
Any help or guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!
Regards,
JJ

Update: I Just tested with CU2 installed for SrvMgr 2012 and OpsMgr 2012 and version 14.3.38.2 of the Exchange 2010 management, but the management pack still fails to deploy to the SrvMgr 2012 data warehouse (the management pack status shows
up as 'failed' and the MPSyncJob shows the management pack as 'pending association'). The only clue I have for this problem is the folllowing warning which occurs when I import the management pack into SrvMgr 2012...
I also get the following 33519 Event ID warning in the Operations Manager event log on the data warehouse server...
~~~~~
Management pack association ignored. This does not require any action. If you continue to frequently see this warning, contact your administrator. This process will continue to retry.
Management pack ID: e2296ed5-ddbc-ebc7-3881-c5288adaa7cf
Management pack name: Microsoft.Exchange.2010
Management pack version: 14.3.38.2
Data source name: SRV
Message: Either the MP has failed deployment Or any of its references has failed deployment
~~~~~
Has anyone had success with getting the Exchange 2010 management pack imported and successfully deployed to the SrvMgr 2012 data warehouse?
The good news is that even though the Exchange 2010 management pack has a status of failed, the distributed applications in OpsMgr 2012 that depend on the Exchange management pack now show up under Configuration Items/Business Services including
all related service component objects which was what I was trying to accomplish in the first place, so for now I'll just leave the Exchange 2010 management pack in the data warehouse with a failed status.

JJ

Mail from Exchange 2010 mailbox - BCC to Hotmail addresses with blank To: field not hounoured

Hi
This feels related to a previous question
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/bec88844-79c1-4d17-bf73-9425842b22de/problem-sending-mail-with-bcc-and-without-to?forum=exchangesvrgenerallegacy but is slightly different - it just applies to Hotmail and related addresses (e.g.
hotmail.com, hotmail.co.uk, outlook.com, live.co.uk).
Sending from our Exchange 2010 to BCC addresses with blank To: field, the BCC is not being honoured, but just by Hotmail-related addresses. Any Hotmail-related recipient sent to in this fashion sees all their and other Hotmail-related addresses in the To:
field. But any other addresses to other mail hosts (gmail, yahoo etc) in the same BCC list aren't shown, and recipients at the other mail hosts have a fully hidden BCC list (i.e. see no To addresses at all).
If the To: field has an address then there is no problem - all BCC addresses are hidden for all recipients as expected.
It feels like it is the way the header is being handled by the Hotmail MTAs. But I only see this behaviour from our Exchange 2010 servers (including test servers).
Below are message headers from examples - anyone any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Gordon
Headers from the same message sent as a BCC to a "@live.co.uk" address and "@gmail.com" address with no To: field, and below that a header of similar with a To: field.

I'm guessing that they're using something other than Exchange for the MTA's. I don't recall seeing this in the "Received:" headers ever since Exchange stopped using the MS Windows SMTP service:

Exchange 2010 - Getting report on local internal email

Hi,
I am trying t get one particular stat out of my Exchange 2010 server using Powershell and could use some help. I simply want the total number of emails sent internally within my single exchange server.
Below is the Powershell command I have tried.
get-messagetrackinglog -ResultSize unlimited -Start “05/14/2013 00:00:00″ -End “06/10/2013 23:59:00″ | where {$_.Sender -like “*@domain.com“} | where {$_.Recipients -like “*@domain.com“} > “C:\internalmail.txt
The internalmail.txt file is empty. I have made a couple attempts to get this information from the messagetrackinglog, but haven't gotten any results. I was able to get the total number of RECEIVED and SENT emails from and to external addresses,
but nothing internal.
Does the messagetrackinglog keep a record of internal emails within the Exchange server?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Terry

Your command should work, but there's no need for a double 'where{}' and using ">file.txt" makes a not so useful file:
get-messagetrackinglog -ResultSize unlimited -Start “06/10/2013 00:00:00" -End “06/10/2013 00:59:00" | where {$_.Sender -like “*@rotterdam.nl“ -AND $_.Recipients -like “*@rotterdam.nl“} > “C:\internalmail.txt"
Also, you did not specify a server, so you will have to run this command on a transportserver and it will only return results from that perticular server.
Try the following:
get-transportserver| get-messagetrackinglog -ResultSize unlimited -Start $(get-date).addhours(-1) -End $(get-date) | where {$_.Sender -like "*@org.nl" -AND $_.Recipients -like "*@org.nl"} | select EventId,Source,Sender,@{name="Recipient";expression={[system.String]::Join(";",$_.Recipients)}},MessageSubject| export-csv -noTypeInformation "C:\internalmail.txt"
you should be able to run it from any of you servers and it should get you the logs from all transport servers over the last hour. I've used $(get-date) here to see if it is an issue with your date format (it uses locale settings, an "issue" that
has been fixed in Exch 2010).

Hi,
Exchange 2010 MP fails to run Troubleshoot-DatabaseSpace.ps1. Results in a Warning with "Error formatting a string: Format string is not supported". The EventNumber is 402. The Microsoft article it points to is useless at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/749e0eac-ebb2-41e3-8fa2-4a03a1bd3571.aspx

The error means that the client hasn’t located the resource it’s looking for

Forefront for Exchange 2010 - no mails in quarantine or incidents list

I have a client with Forefront 2010 installed on their exchange 2010 server. I see 45 messages that have been blocked as spam in the dashboard - 43 connection, 1 smtp and 1 content.
The client wants to know which messages are being blocked and which aren't, however when I open up the incidents and quarantine pages there is nothing there.
They have the antispam configuration set to stamp headers and continue for SCL5 to 9 and it seems to me that things should be in the quarantine.
I have all the logging options turned on and I've followed the other technet threads about this issue but none of those solutions seem to work on this machine.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it!

Hi,
Firstly, please make sure if you have enabled the anti-spam filtering engine of FPE. If yes, please refer to the blog below:
Exchange Content Filter settings are ignored
Besides, please make sure you have installed all the released hotfix rollups for FPE. Please also make sure that you have enabled "Enable content filtering incident logging" in Advanced Options of Global settings.
You can deliver quarantined items to specified recipients and set emial notification.
In addition, only an Administrator can access/manage the quarantine of FPE.
Please also ensure that you haven't configured FPE to automatically purge quarantined in a short time.
FPE content filter uses the Cloudmark™ Antispam engine to analyze each e-mail message and stamp it with a SCL.
When the setting 5 – 9 is selected, all messages with a rating of 5 or higher are treated as suspected spam.
Messages with an SCL rating of -1 and 0 will be treated as non-spam. You have the option to Quarantine or Stamp header and continue processing mail with an SCL rating in the 5 – 9 range.
If the issue persists, you can adjust the SCL setting to a lower value to see if the issue persists.

Too many failed message tracking resquests via task in Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi,
We are getting this alert every day and I don't find anything to solve it...
Some days it's Yellow (3%) and the others it's Red (5%)... But we don't have 5% of the messages failed.
Do there is a solution to this problem or even somewhere to look ?

To Fix your issue, try to override monitor rule of KHI: Too many failed message tracking requests via task – Red (>5%) and also rule of KHI: Too many failed message tracking requests via task – Yellow (>3%)
Also you can refer below link

Exchange 2010 - EventID 2090&2102 on DC

Hi guys.
Exchange 2010 is installed on a domain controller (DC.domain.com).
Let's skip the part about telling me that Exchange 2010 installed on DC is not a wise idea and please help regarding this Event Viewer Warning:
EventID 2090
Process MSEXCHANGEADTOPOLOGYSERVICE.EXE (PID=1188).
The configuration domain controller specified in the registry (DC.domain.com) is unreachable.
Exchange Active Directory Provider will select the configuration domain controller from the list of available domain controllers.
EventID 2102:
Process MSEXCHANGEADTOPOLOGYSERVICE.EXE (PID=1188). All Domain Controller Servers in use are not responding: DC.domain.com
dcdiag /s:DC.domain.com saids everything is fine.
Why is event viewer complaining then?
With best regards,
bostjanc

Hi,
Based on my research,
Event ID 2090 is just a warning message that indicates a particular server was configured, in the registry, to be used as the configuration domain controller and this server was not reachable. Usually, this event can be ignored.
However, if there is an accompanying MSExchangeDSAccess
Event ID 2102, the Exchange Services might not start. It would be a known issue when Exchange server installed in DC:
Service start up issues where Exchange services cannot start since AD is not available as the DC is still starting up.
To resolve it, the following blog mentioned a potential workaround about
Start up dependencies:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/07/03/exchange-on-a-dc.aspx
Additionally, I still want to be verbose that it is not recommended to
install an Exchange server in a domain controller.
Thanks,

Exchange 2010: Virtualized Exchange 2010 Datacenter Migration

We have a virtualized Exchange 2010 production implementation that needs to be relocated to a new datacenter. We will be leveraging SAN based replication and VMWare to cutover.
Some background info:
3 CAS/HUB servers
4 Node DAG across 2 sites (3 production Mailbox servers in the site to be migrated, 1 mailbox server will not move and be left in DR)
Since I need to shutdown 3 mailbox servers in a 4 node DAG, the cluster will go offline and the databases will dismount. I could run a datacenter switchover to preserve service, but I have the OK to take Exchange completely down.
Knowing that:
1) What are the best practices to shutdown and start up all the CAS servers and Mailbox servers (both in prod and DR)?
2) Should I suspend replication or dismount the databases in advance and prevent them from automatically mounting on boot up? Is the StartDagServerMaintenance script relevant in this situation?
Any suggestions on the proper way to go about this is much appreciated. Thanks for reading.

-->1) During the shutdown...would it make sense to turn off the 4th mailbox server in the DAG which is located in our DR site? I'm thinking that leaving the DR mailbox server powered off and powering it up last among the DAG members would prevent
any database copies from being activated in DR.
You already have a planned outage. I suggest you shut down the server in DR and start that after starting
all the 3.
2) To be able to mount a database in a 4 node DAG, I need to have the file share witness and two mailbox servers available first...correct?
Your fileshare witness should be online first otherwise none of your databases will get mounted.
If your DAG contains odd number of members filesharewitness will be ignored, (even number of DAG members will use filesharewitness)http://blog.credera.com/technology-insights/microsoft-solutions/when-do-dags-need-a-file-share-witness/

Error in uninstall Exchange 2003 after Exchange 2010 migration.

Setup encountered an error while checking prerequisites for component "Microsoft Exchange": 0X80072030 (8240): There is no such object on the server. I searched about the error and most of the hit is referring to postmaster account point
to the old server and that doesn't apply to our environment.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283089
below is the errors from the setup log. Other users had reported this problem but didn't find any solution other than manually uninstall the last Exchange 2003 server.  The problem is I couldn't find any official KB for manually
remove legacy Exchange server from Exchange 2010 org, bb288905 or kb833396 do not provide enough information. So is my only choice is to call Microsoft Support?
thanks

Did you also check for other accounts, i.e. non-postmaster?
Setup will check to make sure that there are no mailboxes homed onto this server.    This attribute homeMDB could still be set for a mailbox that has the Exchange attributes remove. Seen that before when people set attributes directly
via scripts.....

Yes, I did. Nothing has MDB = the legacy server.    The error from setup log seems to suggest a different problem.

I have finally got Exchange 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium to connect

I have finally got Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium to connect to Exchange 2013 installed on a Server 2012 R2 DC a DC that is connected to the local LAN, I have done this by manually setting up the connect via http proxy
settings as follows:-.
URL to Exchange Proxy Server, I had to set to
.co.uk">username@<external_domainname>.co.uk
**Why can I not connect in the same way as I connect to Exchange Server 2010 with just local NTLM Authentication and no proxy settings?.

Hi,
According to your description, I understand you want to know why not Outlook connect to Exchange 2010 by NTML Authentication and without proxy setting in LAN.
I guess you may be referring to Outlook Anywhere. In Exchange 2013, Outlook Anywhere is enabled by default, because all Outlook connectivity takes place via Outlook Anywhere. The only post-deployment task you must perform to successfully use Outlook Anywhere
is to install a valid SSL certificate on your Client Access server. Mailbox servers in your organization only require the default self-signed SSL certificate.
However, In a local area network (LAN) environment, Microsoft Outlook communicates with Microsoft Exchange Server by using remote procedure call (RPC) with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). This method provides quick and efficient
access in a corporate network. Within this network environment, we could use MAPI protocol to connect to Exchange 2010. Typically, mail clients on domain-joined computers inside your network use NTLM authentication.
If your want use Outlook Anywhere connect to Exchange server, we have to specify the FQDN of the PRCproxy Server. More information about How does Outlook Anywhere work (and not work), for your convenience:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2008/06/20/3405633.aspx
Note: Basic authentication sends the user name and password in clear text. It also requires that users enter domain, user name, and password every time that they connect to the Exchange server. When you use NTLM authentication, the user's credentials are never
sent over the network. Instead, the client computer and the server exchange hashed values of the user's credentials.
Best Regards,
Allen Wang
The problem is, I have the Client Access Role and Mailbox Role on the same server, when I try to connect to Exchange using Outlook, it screws up Outlook when it does the Auto Discover, the only way I can get it to work is by installing the
certificate first, With Exchange 2013 the normal NTLM Authentication used with 2010 does not work with 2013 and you have to use proxy settings but with the NTLM selected instead of basic authentication,
The other problem I am getting is that when I submit a certificate request the locally installed CA having created the request in Exchange, and then complete the installation of the generated certificate, even though when you check the certificate in Exchange
the Alternate Names are there but they are not actually in the certificate and the certificate the does not work.
In Exchange 2010 two certificates are generated one with what looks like just the certificate authority name in it and one with the external name in it, the one with the external name in it appears to be of the wild card format.
Local machines get issued the certificate with just the local name in and the external machines get issued the one with the external name in it.
Is t possible to replicate the behaviour of 2010, desktop machine on the internal LAN do not need outlook anywhere, only the laptops coming in and out need that?.
I have laptop machines on 2011 SBS, set are up to connect from anywhere using the RPC over Proxy with basic authentication which as you say needs passwords but when they connect in the Office the RPC over proxy seems to be ignored and
they connect using NTLM, that is what I want to do with the 2013 setup.

How to monitor particular individual Exchange 2010 mailbox

Hi
Is it possible to monitor a particular individual Exchange 2010 mailbox? If so please send me the script or steps to to accomplish this
Donald D'souza (http://donald-scom.blogspot.com/)

The Exchange 2010 MP has had some issues of late and is once again unavailable. Hopefully this should be rectified soon. Keep an eye on the Management Pack forum and someone should post there once it is back.
I appreciate the Exchange team are looking for ways to get extra monitoring from SCOM and I'm certainly not saying you can't do mailbox monitoring with SCOM. I'm just saying be careful. I have seen one enterprise write a discovery to discover the
mailboxes they wanted to monitor. The discovery captured data that changed every iteration that the discovery ran. They then wondered why SCOM stopped working, ignoring the fact that they had discovered thousands of objects whose properties changed every
time discovery ran, causing huge numbers of state change events and massive database growth.
If you are looking for in-depth exchange mailbox monitoring then SCOM is not the tool for it. Quest and Sirana do dedicated enterprise tools. If you take a look at the links and say that is what your team want then I'd suggest evaluating those
products. Developing SCOM to deliver that would not be cost efficient.
Hope you don't mind but I'll ask again - what specifically do you want to monitor? Mailbox Size? Number of emails sent \ received? size of message sent? destination? number of attachments? size of attachments? blocked messages? If you need deep detail
along the lines of the following then you really need to evaluate the following:
http://www.sirana.com/exchange/reporting
If you end up writing scripts to do all the above then you will likely severely impact performance of either SCOM or your Exchange server or possibly both.
Sadly (for budgeting) SCOM doesn't necessarily replace specialist tools - it just complements them. Likewise, if you want deep dive SQL then you'll still need Quest or Idera based tools. Probably fewer licenses and better targetted at servers with known
issues.

Graham
