Exchange 2010 SP1 database size limit?

I have seen several posts concerning exchange 2010 Standard database limit being 50GB but can be increased by modifying the registry. We were migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 by a vendor. My current database is 188.1GB. I searched the registry
for the changes to increase the database form the 50GB limit but it does not look like they made the changes. What has me baffled is how can my database be 188.1 GB if they did not modify the registry?
Thank you,
Cecil

So you only use Database Size Limit in GB registry if you want to hard set the size? From some of the posts I had seen they were saying it was 50 GB by default and could be expanded to 1TB by modifying the registry. I did not understand
why the instructions included modifying the registry if it was not needed. I am by no means trying to dispute it just trying to understand.
Thanks for the reply.

Sharepoint 2010 - configuration database size limit

Hi,
We have below scenario in our production farm. Ours is a SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition server.
Medium size farm (4 WFE, 4 App Servers, Content DBs in separate tier. No SharePoint search in this farm)
Configuration DB reached 250+ GB. Please clarify below queries.
1. What is the boundary limit for configuration database size?
2. How we can scale the configuration database?
3. Can we add multiple configuration database per farm?
4. What are the best practices and regular maintenance activities to be done to keep the configuration db size under control?
It would be really really great if someone gives some good knowledge in this area.

1) Not aware of one
2) You can add multiple files to the file group
3) No
Is the growth in the MDF or the LDF (log file)? If it is in the log file, are you using high availability (Clustering, Mirroring, Log Shipping, AlwaysOn)? If so, you need to run a BACKUP LOG periodically to maintain the LDF size, or allow you to truncate
the LDF.

Move Exchange Server 2010 SP1 databases and log files to another partition

My company has been running Exchange Server 2010 SP1 on virtual machine for almost three years. My colleague created this virtual machine (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) before Exchange Server installation with following partitions:
C partition - for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 OS (size 40 GB)
E partition - for Exchange Server 2010 SP1 databases and logs (size 410 GB)
Those two partitions are on the same virtual hard disk "next to one another" so I can not extend C partition which gets filled up with IIS logs (when C partition free space is under 10 GB I am backing up these logs with backup software and afterwards
deleting them thus freeing up space on C partition). I have 2 databases (along with Public Folders) and size of these databases and their logs is around 235 GB.
Is it safe to move these databases and their logs to another partition which I would create on separate virtual hard disk for this purpose only and how much time this process might take since during this process databases
would be dismounted and inaccessible to all users? He made big blunder in my opinion but I have to solve this.

Yes, its safe to move the DB/Logs. You can follow the procedure mentioned in this article to do it via EMC or Shell... http://exchangeserverpro.com/move-exchange-2010-database-folder/
But it depends on various factors on how long it is going take, like size of the database/logs, server performance, storage performance etc...
Besides this, upgrade Exchange 2010 SP1 to SP3, SP1/SP2 aren't supported anymore! http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2014/04/09/end-of-exchange-2010-sp2-support.aspx

Delete emails from a specific folder in Exchange 2010 SP1

Hi all,
Since Exchange 2010 SP1 does not have “-DeleteContent” parameter in mailboxexportrequest any more, how do we delete emails from a specific folder of a user mailbox? (Personal folder, not default folders).
Please note that the ASQ for searchquery in Search-Mailbox does not support “folder”.
If going for retention policy, is there a way to tag a retention policy to a specific folder of a user mailbox without user attention?
William Yang
William Yang

Hi William,
Yes, you may not run the Search-Mailbox to delete items in specific folder at the moment. Hope it will be back soon.
You can create a Personal tag, users can apply personal tags to folders they create. But users have to select related Retention Policy using Outlook or OWA manually.
For more information, please see:

Cannot upgrade Exchange 2010 SP1 Management Tools to SP2 on Win 8.1 workstation

I have a Win 8.1 workstation that I am trying to update the Exchange Management tools on from 2010 SP1 to SP2. I get an error that says:
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); &RoleBinPath\ServiceControl.ps1 EnableServices Critical" was run: "AuthorizationManager check failed.".
The WMI service is being disabled and not starting back up after, causing the error. I have tried the following:
-Confirmed that the ExecutionPolicy is set to undefined/unrestricted for the localmachine
-Confirmed no GPO exists in our domain to restrict this
Every single time I run the install the WMI service switches to disabled and the localmachine Execution Policy is switched to RemoteSigned.
I have tried the Google search steps except for the Setup /M:Recoverserver since I really don't know what that would do to our Exchange environment. I have seen some posts that the Exchange 2010 MGMT tools are not supported on Win 8, which I find hard to
believe. I get no unsupported error just this incredibly frustrating error.
Any ideas?

What you are doing is totally unsupported:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
By the way, Exchange 2010 sp1 and SP2 are no longer supported, the minimum supported is SP3.

Upgrade From Exchange 2010 SP1 to SP3 - Schema Upgrade Question

Hello,
We're currently running Exchange 2010 SP1 in our environment and want to upgrade to SP3. I just had a couple of questions related to preparing AD for this new SP that I was hoping that someone could answer.
Setup
We have a single forest with two domains within it (A and B for example). The schema master is in Domain A but this domain doesn't contain any Exchange 2010 servers. Domain B contains our 2010 CAS and Mailbox servers.
Both domains have Windows 2003 SP2 domain controllers.
I understand that before I proceed with the upgrade to SP3, I first need to update the AD schema on our schema master. I was planning on doing the following :
Log onto an existing Windows 2008 R2 64 bit "member" server in domain A (containing the schema master) with an account which is a member of the Schema Admins and Enterprise Admins groups.
Run SETUP.EXE /PrepareAD.
Do I need to also run SETUP.EXE /PrepareDomain on domain A as well or does the /PrepareAD sort this out ?
I was then going to turn my attention to domain B (which contains the 2010 CAS and Mailbox servers) and do the following :
Log onto an existing Windows 2008 R2 64 bit 2010 Mailbox server with an account which is a member of the Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins groups.
Run SETUP.EXE /PrepareDomain
Is this the correct procedure to follow ? I assume that I can then go ahead and start to upgrade the Exchange 2010 SP1 servers in the following sequence :
CAS\HUB Server(s)
Mailbox Server(s).
Clarification on the AD upgrade steps would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Prepare Active Directory and Domains
and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb629560(v=exchg.141).aspx
Upgrade Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010 SP1, Exchange 2010 SP2, or Exchange 2010 SP3
Note: There is no harm in simply running setup/PrepareAllDomains.
You should break out each Prep step since you have multiple domains:
setup/PrepareSchema
setup /PrepareAD
setup /PrepareAllDomains
you can run all of these from the same DC you run the setup/PrepareSchema step!

Exchange 2010 SP1 Update Rollup 6 to Exchange 2010 SP3

Hi there,
I am planning to install Exchange 2010 SP3 next week and after reading some of the related comments on this site I got a little worried.
Our current Exchange environment consists of the following:
1 x CAS/HT Server
2 x Mailbox Server (members of a DAG)
The OS of the 3 servers is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. All servers are running Exchange 2010 SP1 Update Rollup 6.
The Execution Policies on our Exchange servers are set as follows:
– CAS/HT Server:
Scope ExecutionPolicy
MachinePolicy Undefined
UserPolicy Undefined
Process Undefined
CurrentUser Undefined
LocalMachine Unrestricted
– Mailbox Servers:
Scope ExecutionPolicy
MachinePolicy Undefined
UserPolicy Undefined
Process Undefined
CurrentUser Undefined
LocalMachine RemoteSigned
Please note that we do not have any Group Policies that defined the PowerShell script execution policy.
I would be very grateful if you (or any of the kind readers) could help me with following questions:
1- Do I have to change the execution policy on our Exchange servers before installing SP3? If I have to change a policy, what should I change? And how would you recommend I should do this?
2- After installing SP3 on a server, can I install the latest rollup update on this server before moving to the next server? For example, can I do the following:
i. Install SP3 followed by RU 5 on the CAS/HT server -> Apply the our custom settings
ii. Install SP3 followed by RU 5 on the first mailbox server
iii. Install SP3 followed by RU 5 on the second mailbox server
Many thanks,
M

Hi Amit,
Many thanks for the swift reply.
That's correct. We didn't set the Powershell execution policy via Group Policy. We only configured the execution policy of "LocalMachine" to "Unrestricted" on the CAS/HT server using the "Set-ExecutionPolicy" command on the server.
The mailbox servers' execution policies have not been changed and are set to those values by default.
I must admit, I go event more confused when I read the "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2668686" and "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2810617" articles.
But it looks like I shouldn't worry as our current Powershell execution policies shouldn't affect the upgrade. Right?

Exchange 2010 SP1 Upgrade to SP2 and SP3. Choose language.

Hello.
I going to install Exchange 2010 SP1 multilanguage and then update to SP2 and SP3
But then i download SP2 from Microsoft it's ask fоr choose language.
It ask about installer language or about Exchange language?
What language i need to choose if i have multilanguage Exchange SP1 installer?
And if i want to Exchange EMC be in English and Outlook on client machine shows Russian what language i need to choose when install first role from Exchange 2010 SP1 multilang DVD?

Exchange EMC language depends on OS version where you are running it.
Besides about client language you have to choose Russian language pack during install. More info below...
The language of the Outlook user interface that an Outlook user sees, including the content generated by Exchange, depends on the following:
The language the user is using in Outlook
Whether the language they're using in Outlook is supported by Exchange 2010
Whether the language they're using in Outlook has been configured to be available on the Exchange 2010 server
Consider the following scenarios:
When an Outlook user who's set their language to <Language A> signs in to their Exchange 2010 mailbox and both Outlook and Exchange 2010 support the language the user has specified, <Language A>, the user will see all messages and Exchange-generated
mailbox components, for example, the Inbox, in Language A.
When an Outlook user who's set their language to <Language A> signs in to their Exchange 2010 mailbox that's been set to <Language B>, the Outlook user will see the Outlook user interface in Language A, but will see the content generated
by Exchange. For example, by default, folder names such as Inbox,
Deleted Items, and Sent Items display in <Language B>.
You can change the Exchange mailbox language setting on the server using Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell. For information about how to use the Shell to change the language setting for a mailbox on a server, see
Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration.

Exchange 2010 SP1 management console fail

Exchange 2010 SP1 management console fail on local exchange servers.
The following error occurred while attempting to connect to the specified Exchange server CAS123.domain.co.za
The attempt to connect to
http://cas123.domain.co.za/PowerShell using “kerberos” authentication failed: Connecting to remote server failed with following error message: The WS-Management service cannot process the request because IP address cas123.domain.co.za is invalid. For more
information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
However do note that the Exchange Management Shell also fails with the exact same error on both my CAS and Mailbox servers.
Though I am still able to open both tools via my backup server.
All ells works fine.
nslookup resolves the exchange servers as they should be. Frankly I am stumped as to the invalid IP address.
My exchange environment have been running problem free for years and this problem only occurred last week Thursday after some .NET updates.

Hi,
As per the information and details provided by you, the only thing that I can figure out is that: -
You receive an error: Exchange 2010 SP1 management console fail.
There are two methods to resolve this problem: -
Method 1: -
Close all MMC/EMC instances before proceeding.
Open the Registry editor (regedit) as the user you run the EMC under.
Go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\AdminTools
Look for value, Node structure setting.
If it is there, back it up and then remove it.
Method 2: -
Close all MMC/EMC instance before proceeding.
Open powershell or powershell IDE as the user you run the EMC under and execute the following command:
Remove-Item Property- Path
HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\ExchangeServer\v14\AdminTools\ -Name NodeStructureSettings
Close Powershell
I hope this information will be helpful for you. Correct me if the information that I am having is wrong.
Thanks and regards

Cisco 5 with Exchange 2010 and Database Availability Groups

Hi,
Unity 5 was installed a long time. Recently installed with the latest ES88 to the system. The fact is we have Exchange 2007 (clustered) mailbox server in the network environment, and introduced the Exchange 2010 (with DAG activated).
So far we didn't do any "re-partnering" from the Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010. The end users are working fine by leaving voice message and can retreive their voice without too much issue, no matter where the End Users account are located, Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010.
But lately, there was some actions taken in the Exchange environment. Some Exchange 2010 mailstore databases in one of the Exchange 2010 server, with DAG has been activated.
In this case, we are now unable to leave any voice messages to the end usrs. All the voice messages are now being held in C:\CommServer\UnityMTA.
Want to ask, does Unity 5 and Exchange 2010 compatible with DAG? Also, is that my problem is caused by re-partnering server not taken place? If yes, which Exchange 2010 mailbox database server I should point to? Reason is, there will have 3 physical servers, and with several DB mailstore, if I select one of the physical server, and one of the D mailstore, will this be affected when the DAG is activated?
Thanks

Hi Yancy,
If you're referring to integrating Microsoft Exchange 2010 with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 5.x for voicemail purposes, via a SIP Trunk, then you could certainly have a go at it (a Media Termination Point would be required and the codec would be G.711). However, I'm not aware of anyone having properly tested it with CUCM 5.x; given that it's not having software maintenance releases written for it anymore. CUCM 5.0 stopped having software maintenance releases written for it in June 2009, and CUCM 5.1 in February this year.

Exchange 2010 SP1 - Export to PST, Remove Mailbox

I'm looking for a PowerShell script that will allow me to use Exchange 2010 SP1 to export a mailbox to PST and then when finished, delete the user and mailbox. I typically do this process manually about 6 months after an employee leaves the company (allowing
for live access to the mailbox and message forwarding to their supervisor).
Ideally, the script would take input for a mailbox ID, and then export the file to a file of the mailbox name (Prompt: jdoe -> New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox jdoe -FilePath \\server\path\jdoe.pst). After the export is complete, it would schedule the
mailbox for complete removal and remove the completed mailbox export request. The prompt and export process should be simple enough, but I suspect the difficulty will come with monitoring for the completed request before acting on the removal.
Thanks for any help provided! :)

Thanks for the guidance!
I think I was able to come up with something that will do the trick nicely:
$Name = Read-Host "Please enter a mailbox to archive"
New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name -FilePath \\Exchange\C$\ExchangeExports\$Name.pst
while ((Get-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name | Where {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"}))
sleep 60
Get-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $Name | Remove-MailboxExportRequest -Confirm:$false
Remove-Mailbox -Identity $Name -Confirm:$false
Hopefully it may help others.

Exchange 2010 - mailbox database in a DAG different sizes

HI
After a recent health check on our Exchange 2010 (SP3) environment I noticed that our mailboxes databases in the DAG, which consists of 4 Exchange Servers, had used
different capacity.
Could someone why the mounted database and the 3 healthy copies are not the same size?
Many thanks

Hi,
Based on your description, the active database and passive database have different size.
Apart from Willard Martin's suggestions, please update database copy using the following command and then check result.
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity DB -SourceServer activeserver
Please make sure the passive databae copy has healthy state.
