Exchange 2010 resource mailbox double booking issue..

Hi,
I have moved the meeting room mailbox from exchange 2003 to 2010:
set-Mailbox -Identity:<resourcename> -Type:Room
but after that, the meeting room can be double booking in the same time.
I have tried folllowing command, but it's failded.
Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity <mailbox identity> -AllowConflicts:$false
Thanks.

Hi Martina,
I appreciate this is an old post, however if you do pick up on this could you please advise on your statement from the above:
"Even if the room sends a Decline, as it should when a conflict is found, you will still see that meeting request in your own Calendar."
This is the exact behaviour happening at a customer of ours at the moment. However they don't want the meeting requests to appear/remain in the Calendar of the person trying to book the meeting room.
Do you know of a way to stop this behaviour?
Do you know if the meeting request is only populated in the Calendar of the user who tries to book an appointment in the resource calendar or does this appear in other perspective attendees Calendars?
Many Thanks,
Matt.

Exchange Server 2010 Room Mailboxes Double Booking

We are have several room mailboxes setup on Exchange Server 2010 and are having an issue with rooms being double booked.
I have "Allow Conflicting Meeting Requests" unchecked on the Resource Policy Tab but if a user try's to book a room that is already reserved it gets accepted and put on the calendar.
How do I stop this from happening?
Here are the settings for the room:

The most common cause of this issue is that you have both Outlook Direct Booking and AutoAccept enabled. To fix this logon to the Mailbox using Outlook and disable direct booking see (or use a script) http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/07/15/a-significant-update-to-remove-directbooking-script-is-now-available.aspx

Exchange 2010 - Resource Mailbox won't send external notification email

Exchange 2010 with SP1. These mailboxes used to respond to outside booking requests, when we were running Exchange 2007. I've verified that -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages is set to $true. The mailbox responds to internal requests with an email.
All users are allowed to make "Resource In-Policy Requests".
I've tried booking from an email address that was setup as a Contact in Exchange - still no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Could you share what settings did you use for SMTP connectors?
I have tried:
Authentication – Externally Secured
Permission Group – Exchange Servers
I can send emails via these connectors, but Room Mailbox still deletes requests from external sender.
Both organizations have Exch 2010 sp3 RU6, and AD forest 2008R2 level.

Exchange 2010 resource mailbox automatically opening along with user email account

I've created a number of resource mailboxes for conference rooms, however one of them continuously opens in my Outlook profile. Deleting the profile doesn't seem to help, and it follows me around (it does it in my local Outlook 2010 profile, as well as my
Outlook 2013 profile in our Citrix environment).
Right-clicking the mailbox and selecting Close presents a box saying, "This group of folders is assicated with an email account. To remove the account, click the File Tab, and on the Info tab, click Account Settings. Select the e-mail account, and then
click Remove."
Unfortunately the profile is not configured to open this account, it's configured to only open my account (a domain admin). I've also gone into the settings of my account in Outlook and it is not set to open the resource mailbox as an additional mailbox
on the Advanced tab, so I'm not sure where it's getting this setting.
Since the issue seems to be unrelated to the actual Outlook profile, I looked at both mailbox objects within the Exchange Management Console and can find nothing in either object that would be instructing Outlook to open both mailboxes.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Seems like it's auto-mapped to the account. Run Remove-mailboxpermissions against it, hopefully it will 'refresh' the settings. If it still doesn't work, check the msExchDelegateListLink for the resource mailbox.

Exchange 2010 resource mailbox delegate still getting attachments

I have a user that is set as a delegate on a resource mailbox, when an attachment is added to a meeting request the resource mailbox is deleting the attachment. However, the delegate of said resource mailbox is still receiving the attachment but my
user does not want the delegate to receive the attachment. Here are the resource settings:
AutomateProcessing : AutoAccept
AllowConflicts : False
BookingWindowInDays : 180
MaximumDurationInMinutes : 1440
AllowRecurringMeetings : True
EnforceSchedulingHorizon : True
ScheduleOnlyDuringWorkHours : False

BookInPolicy :

RequestInPolicy :

V>
RemoveOldMeetingMessages : True
AddNewRequestsTentatively : True
ProcessExternalMeetingMessages : True
DefaultReminderTime : 15
RemoveForwardedMeetingNotifications : False
Is it possible to have the attachment deleted from this email that the delegate receives?

Hi,
I would like to clarify the following thing:
Setting Delete Attachments means that the attachment information in a meeting request does not appear in the resource's calendar. But it would appear in the meeting email original content of Inbox.
I'm afraid there is no direct way to delete the attachments of meeting requests before they go into delegate's inbox. But there is a workaround, you can new rule on Outlook to delete all attachments that are sent to delegate. (Note: If you new this rule,
all attachments that are sent to the delegate will be deleted, not only meeting requests.)
Hope my clarification is helpful.
If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amy

Issue with Update Rollup 5 for Exchange 2010 SP3 - Mailboxes that were auto mapped not working

Below is my response in another thread but creating a new one in the hopes that someone has the same issue and a solution besides mine below.
Ever since we installed Update Rollup 5 for SP3 Exchange 2010 mailboxes that were auto mapped are not accessible. They all get the same error.
Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. The attempt to log on to the Microsoft Exchange has failed.
What I have been doing is removing the users permission, then adding them back using the noautomap switch in Powershell. After doing that, the user manually adds the mailbox and all is well.
Just a note here, I suspect it may have something to do with the version of Outlook 2010. We are running an older version here. I think only SP1 with no other incremental updates. Office is up to SP2. Also, one of the users I was working with could not access
the mailbox no matter what we tried but she can walk over to another workstation and open Outlook and access the very same mailbox so that pretty much proves its software related particularly with Outlook.
I cannot reproduce the problem on a workstation (XP) with a newer version of Outlook.
This has been wearing me out and I suspected the Update Rollup all long. Now I am confident as others are having the same problem. If you find out anything on how to fix this other than the steps above, let me know.

Not sure why it was suggested to use the auto mapping feature to grant permissions because that is the component that is causing the issue. Also, there is nothing wrong with the auto configuration because the user can access their own mailbox just fine and
also select mailboxes in their Outlook that were NOT auto mapped.
With that said, here is how I fixed them all.
Remove the permissions using the Exchange Console. Don't forget Send As
Wait about 15 minutes. The mailbox should disappear from the users Outlook
Open an Exchange PowerShell window and run the following command:
.\add-mailboxpermissionsnoautomap.ps1 -Identity mailbox -User user -AccessRights FullAccess
Have the user add the mailbox to their Outlook using the manual process.
All is well....
If you don't have the PS script add-mailboxpermissionsnoautomap.ps1, you can download it. I stumbled across it a few years ago and use it all the time. If you can't find it, just use the Exchange built in command for adding mailbox folder permissions but
specify automap $false.
The idea here is to grant the user access without auto mapping.

Outlook 2013/ Exchange 2010 User Mailbox reached Limit and OWA is not reachable

Hello Folks,I have a strange Outlook/ Exchange problem with one of our Users, interestingly it’s the Boss of our company….The Background:- We have 2 Domains @company-1 or @company-2- We have 1 Exchange 2010 Server Version 14.03.0224.002- Till March of this year our Emails where hosted externally, we used to download the Emails every 2 minutes from POP3 Mailboxes into Exchange- We have 18 Users- So every User had a User account on our Exchange and a Mailbox externally- Now we host our Emails our self via MX and DNS Records(mail.company.cc)- The User kept their Exchange accounts, OWA is now working too So far all works well on my little Server farm.The Catch:Usually our users have only one Email address either @company-1 or @company-2 Except our Boss and one other User, they have an Email address in both Domains They have addresses one...

Hi,
I suggest to repair .ost file to check this issue by the following steps:
Exit Outlook.
In Control Panel, click or double-click Mail.
In the Mail Setup dialog box, click E-mail Accounts.
Click the Data Files tab, select the Exchange account, and then click
Open File Location. A file explorer window opens to the location of the data file for the Exchange account. The
Account Settings and Mail Setup dialog boxes will remain open, behind the file explorer window.
Close the Account Settings and the Mail Setup dialog boxes, then return to the file explorer window.
Important: be sure to close these two dialog boxes before you delete the file. If they aren't closed, Windows may display an error message about a conflict.
In the file explorer window, right-click the Exchange data file and then click
Delete. The next time you start Outlook, a new .ost file is created for the account.
Best Regards.

Exchange 2010 - New-Mailbox - A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-PrimarySmtpAddress'.

Hi,
I am currently writing a powershell script that utilizes the new-mailbox command of EMS to create a shared mailbox.
I am connecting to EMS via a remote PSSession object.
When I try and specify an alternative SMTP address via the -PrimarySmtpAddress paramater I get the error
" A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-PrimarySmtpAddress'.
I have confirmed that the version of Exchange 2010 installed on the server should have this parameter - Version 14.3 (Build 123.4)
An example command :-
New-Mailbox -Shared -Name "SharedMailbox_test" -Alias "testsharedmailbox" -DisplayName "SharedMailbox_test" -UserPrincipalName "[email protected]" -OrganizationalUnit "OU=Mailboxes,OU=Accounts,DC=domain,DC=com"
-Database "DB1" -PrimarySmtpAddress "[email protected]" -force
Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
Steve.

Hi Rich,
That was my initial thought too, so I triple-checked my command to see if it was a simple syntax error - it wasn't.
On further investigation I compared the list of parameters available in a DEV EMS session (on where I know the command works) against the one in PROD where the problem occurs. Both sessions are running the same version of EMS.
I ran the following to get a list of parameter names in both sessions :-
$a = gcm New-Mailbox
$a.Parameters.Keys | sort
Here's the results :-
DEV EMS (working)
Prod EMS (missing)

It might be a permissions-based issue, but I don't own either EMS session so can't test personally.
I will keep investigating and update here once I have some further information.

Exchange 2010 cross mailbox database search

Hi there,
I have a customer who has an interesting scenario. They have an exchange 2010 server with 3 mailbox databases. They want to do a search for a text string across all databases which is reasonably straight forward but they also want to take that search back
in time and do a search across the databases as they were at points in time in the past (1 year and 2 years ago). They have backups to recover and we are thinking that we can recover the databases at the points in time required but we're unsure whether the
search works across recovered databases.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this or advise on how this might be achieved?
Thanks,
Rich

Assuming you're aware of the concepts surrounding Microsoft's recommendation to use Exchange Native Data Protection, and you're needing to search beyond what is currently protected. Otherwise, just use that.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876874(v=exchg.150).aspx#ENDP
So here's the issue with your request: Exchange Search uses the indexes, which would either need to be restored or re-built after a restore. so you'd need to do your search, and repeatedly mount restored databases, probably in an isolated environment
since i'd assume you'll want to reattach restored mailboxes to existing users, ensuring the index is in good shape and re-do your search. Sounds like a huge PITA. Does your backup software offer the functionality you're looking for? Microsoft's
DPM software only offers per-mailbox restores, but perhaps you've got something more sophisticated.
This is all complicated, which is why Microsoft recommends to use NDP.

Exchange 2010 - 2013 Mailbox move - Syncing with no progress (Stalled?)

I'm in the process of moving mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, the major of the mailboxes have moved successfully, however I did not anticipate the additional space required by Exchange 2013 and ran out of disk space during the mailbox move,
and some mailboxes did not move successfully.
I have since added additional space but can't seem to get the remaining mailboxes to sync.
I have tried :
Rebooting
Clearing out migration batches and recreating
Stopping and resuming batches.
I see nothing helpful in the Migration log files.

When I download the report for one of the users I see this, but don't know what it means :
The job is currently stalled due to 'Content Indexing' lagging behind on resource 'CiAgeOfLastNotification(Mailbox Database 2065686096)'
For one of the other users the downloaded report only shows :
2013-05-16

Additional Info: I followed the info located here in regards to creating the ContentSubmitters group:
http://www.bullspit.co.uk/2013/04/08/exchange-2013-content-indexing-during-migration/
My mailbox database currently has Content index state: FailedAndSuspended
I only have one database, I am not using DAG

I had already created the contentsubmitters and it helped with the speed of the mailbox moves. We have a SMB with >100 users and everything was working great, migrating from 2007 to 2013. If I had it to do over, maybe it would have been better
to go to 2010 on a 2008 R2 box but decided to jsut go straight to 2013 on a 2012 R2 server. But the one thing I REALLY wish I had to do over again is to allocate about 3 times more space to the drive that was to hold the mailbox database. Everything
was working so well until a mailbox was being moved - a batch of several, I was doing maybe 5 at a time for the larger mailboxes - the disk filled up. Also, before I realized what was going on, I ran some cmdlets thinking my receive connectors weren't
right. I recovered the database - at first it would not mount at all... but after eseutil /r and /p (and allocating more disk space) I could mount the database and open the mailboxes. But from then on, nothing is being received and if you send,
it goes to sent items - doesn't hang in outbox, but never goes anyhere except into a queue. I have MS support working on it and it's been escalated to the top. If they fix it I will try to post any helpful information I can learn from it. But one
lesson - I will read the planning and preparations documentation thoroughly from now on.
Oh, and also, I keep getting this message in the ECP when navigating to the Recipients>migration applet:
Cannot open mailbox /o=<Organization>/ou=Exchange Asministrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/CN=<yourExchangeserver>/cn=Microsoft System Attendant.
If you did the same thing, (and didn't hang yourself or jump in front of a speeding locomotive), you are stronger than I. Not that I have taken the path of the Samurai network admin or anything....
And if you were able to fix it, I am impressed and would love to know how you fixed this.
Thanks and best,
Sam

Microsoft Exchange 2010 / Office Pro 2013 - Contact Issues

Good Morning Everyone.
We are running MS Exchange 2010 and have recently upgraded all our clients to MS Office 2013 Pro from Office 2007.
We've had problems with people being able to access previously accessible share folders etc. but we've managed to resolve them. What we are having problems with are peoples personal contacts....
Within Outlook If we click "New Email", then we click "To", choose address book and select "Contacts" (Personal contacts) we receive the error:
"The Address list cannot be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from
the outlook address book, see Microsoft Outlook Help"
The unusual thing is, if we go to the people tabs at the bottom (Mail, Calender, People etc") Then we can access the address book without issue?
Any help would be appreciated, this problem is on every single client...
Regards
Steve Skingle

Hi,
Please make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book in Outlook. We can check this by right-clicking on the personal contact folder, select
Properties, then Outlook Address Book tab.
Check if the “Show this folder as an email Address Book” option is ticked. If not, tick it and restart Outlook to check the result.
Please let me know the result.
