Exchange 2013 and edge role

Hi,
I have all exchange role installed all is working fine without edge role. CAS is load balance with nbl and MBX is with DAG. If i involve edge do i have to deploy multiple role and do same NBL for load balance, if i invovle what would be my dns setting will
this point to edge role, what owa url will point to edge or remains on cas if on edge do Edge have to redirect to cas or ressovle itself the request.
Your Guideline regarding edge
thanks

Hi shani,
Thank you for your question.
If i involve edge do i have to deploy multiple role and do same NBL for load balance
A: if we want to receive/send email from/to Internet though Edge, we could deploy Edge server in DMZ, if we want to configure Edge server
redundancy and load balance, we could install multiple Edge servers in DMZ. We suggest we put a Hub Transport server into each site, and then establish a 1:1 ratio of Hub Transport to Edge Transport servers. In such a configuration,
each Hub Transport server is synchronized to only one Edge Transport server. And each Edge Transport server connect to a separate Internet connection through different ISPs. Servicing multiple Edge Transport servers with a single ISP creates a potential single
point of failure. Using multiple ISPs ensures that if you will still have Internet access, even if there is an ISP problem.
what owa url will point to edge or remains on cas if on edge do Edge have to redirect to cas or ressovle itself the request.
A: As zhen’s said, we didn’t modify the URL to point to Edge. We just have MX record in ISP.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Exchange 2013 SP1 EDGE role content filtering ?

Hello,
Have Exchange 2013 SP1 with CU5 with antispam enabled on mailbox role server. And i wonder if i deploy 2013 Edge role, will i get more granular content filter control, like there is in Office 365? For example: i want to treat empty messages as not
spam.
I have read that control of Edge server is done ONLY by powershell. So if edge role is deployed, still there is no content filter control in ECP (like in office365) ??

Hi,
The Content Filter agent assigns a spam confidence level (SCL) rating to each message. The SCL rating is a number between 0 and 9. A higher SCL rating indicates that a message is more likely to be spam.
Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid we can't filter the empty messages and treat them as not spam.
Here is an article about content filtering in Exchange 2013 for your reference.

Introduction of New OAB Architecture in Exchange 2013 and Some General Troubleshooting methods

Exchange 2013 is different from previous versions of Exchange server on architecture, some of the old features have been changed. In this FAQ, I will demonstrate the changes on OAB and list a common issue for your reference.
[Agenda]
1. Differences between Exchange 2007/2010 OAB and Exchange 2013 OAB
a. Generation
b. Distribution
c. Download
2. Common issue and troubleshooting
3. More information
[Difference between Exchange 2007/2010 and Exchange 2013 on OAB]
As we know, OAB in Exchange 2007/2010 has 3 points, OAB files generated from MBX server, distributed to CAS server and downloaded to Outlook client. However in Exchange 2013, these 3 points have a little different from previous servers. For example, the OAB
Distribution process doesn’t depend on Microsoft Exchange File Distribution service anymore. Now let me show you the changes of OAB in Exchange 2013.
[OAB Generation]
====================
Exchange 2007/2010:
1. OAB generation server is the specific MBX server which has –server property.
2. If MBX01 is down, OAB generation will be affected.
3. Previous Server using Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service for OAB generation.
4. OAB generation is a scheduled process. By default, OAB files generated at 5:00AM every day.
5. The OAB files which generated from MBX server are located in following path:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB\GUID folder
Exchange 2013:
1. OAB generation server is the MBX server that hosts a special type of arbitration mailbox, called organization mailbox. Thus, the same OAB files could be generated from multiple
MBX servers.
2. If one of the MBX server down, other MBX server still have the ability to generate the specific OAB files.
3. Exchange 2013 server using OABGeneratorAssistant for OAB Generation.
4. OAB generation is a throttled process. It depend on the Server workload.
5. The OAB files which generated from MBX server are located in following path:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB\GUID folder
[OAB Distribution]
====================
Exchange 2007/2010:
Previous Servers use Microsoft Exchange File Distribution service to distribute OAB files from MBX server to CAS server. The distributed oab files stored in CAS server.
Exchange 2013:
The OAB files doesn’t distributed to CAS server. The OAB files only stored in MBX server.
[OAB Download]
====================
Exchange 2007/2010:
If Autodiscover works fine, Outlook should use OAB URL to get the OAB files and download it.
If Autodiscvoer doesn’t work, authenticated users can also get the OAB from the CAS server local disk.
Exchange 2013:
Microsoft Exchange File Distribution service has been removed from Exchange 2013 and the OAB files stored in MBX server. CAS server will proxy all OAB download requests to the appropriate MBX server.
Outlook also use Autodiscover to get the OAB URL and download it.
[Common issue and Troubleshooting]
Issue: Outlook doesn’t download OAB files automatically. When I try to manually download OAB, get this error: Task xxx reported error (0x80190194): The operation failed.
Troubleshooting:
1. First, please run following command to check the information of OAB Generation Server.
Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | where {$_.PersistedCapabilities -like “*OAB*”} | ft Name, Servername, Database
Example result as below:
2. Please make sure the authentication settings and URLs are set properly.
3. Try to verify whether the OAB files generated from MBX server successfully. Path as below:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB\GUID folder
4. If all of the settings above set correctly, please try to check Autodiscover. Run “Test E-mail Autoconfiguration” to check whether there is anything abnormal on OAB. If has, please search the error code on MS official documents.
5. If this issue is related to local cache, please try to delete the OAB caches from local PC and re-download OAB for testing. Path as below:
C:\Users\Administrator.CU1(different)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Offline Address Books

Hi Techy,
According to your description, I am still not quite sure about your environment. Could you please provide more information about it, such as:
1. How many Exchange servers in your coexistence environment? One Exchange 2010 with all roles and one Exchange 2013 with all roles? Or several Exchange 2010 and multiple Exchange 2013?
2. Are there two sites in your environment? What’s the Exchange deployment in different sites?
3. Please confirm if both Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 are Internet-facing.
Additionally, if you are using different namespaces for different services for internal access and external accessing, we need to include all service namespaces in your certificate with IIS service. Personal suggestion, we can follow ED Crowley’s suggestion
to use split-brain DNS in your environment and only use the same namespace for Exchange service URLs.
The following article described the details about how to configure different namespace for Exchange services by using Load Balance in Exchange 2013:

Exchange 2013 and 2010 co-existance

We will have 2013 and 2010 exist together for a while...we plan to move away from using Unified Access Gateway for HTTP redirection to our Exchange services and implement Kemp
load balancers...two at our HQ site and two at our DR stie...
We plan to have a one arm configuration...from what I gathered...each load balancer will have a network connection and only one network connection and be on the same network as
our new Exchange 2013 servers. Can someone take a look at my config and give some input whether or not this will work and some suggestion on Ex13 urls, cert SAN names, etc.
HQKemp 2400 A
HQKemp 2400 B

                         Virtual IP
172.25.1.104
From the video I’ve watched for Kemp install…we’ll create the following internal DNS records for the Exchange services that will be configured on balancers.
OWA/ECP
    mail.corp.local.com
              172.16.1.107
EWS               ews.corp.local.com

172.16.1.111
Autodiscover   autodiscover.corp.local.com 172.16.1.112
Question:
We will configure the Exchange services with these ip addresses linked to each service on all four load balancers?
Or will DR site load balancers have different IPs configured for same Exchange services?
Exchange services are split between our two sites…meaning Outlook Anywhere is configured for our CAS servers at our DR site and ActiveSync comes to HQ CAS servers as an example…so
I want all Exchange services to come through the newly installed load balancers at HQ and if they don’t respond…the Exchange services get redirected to the load balancers at our DR site.
Can you give some insight on the config of load balancers as to how we can do that?
I have a question about the cert we will have.
Our Microsoft rep says we should get a new wildcard cert…currently we have a UCC cert with the following SANs attached.
Will this new cert have to be installed on load balancers?
If so…can you suggest some ideas as to what new SANs I need if any of the new cert with Exchange 2010 and 2013 co-existing for a while.
Below are the SANs on our current UCC cert.
Outside resolvable SANs
Webmail.corp.local.com
205.223.19.25           portal.corp.local.com     205.223.27.78
Portal2.corp.local.com
205.223.19.25
Autodiscover.corp.local.com
205.223.19.25
Internal SANs
Hqcas1.corp.local.com
Hqcas2.corp.local.com
Dccas1.corp.local.com
Dccas2.corp.local.com
Owamail.corp.local.com
(this CAS Array server name that HQ CAS servers create)
What do you suggest we use for the external urls on Exchange 2013 for these services?
Our firewall guy says we’ll use same names,
but I’m not sure if we try to use same name if we’ll get an error?
Active Directory may say name already in use?
We plan to have firewall to just redirect requests for external urls to load balancers…sound correct?
Meaning load balancer won’t have an external NIC defined…which makes it a one arm config…correct?

Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2010 coexistense

We have a and exchange 2010 organization with SP3 on most servers except for one 2010 CAS server that still requires SP1 for the purpose of legacy application compatibility. Can we introduce exchange 2013 in the org or will the setup detect
that there is an exchange 2010 server still with SP1 and fails to continue?

Hi,
For Exchange 2013 coexistence with Exchange 2010, the mininum version of Exchange server is Exchange 2010 SP3 on all Exchange 2010 servers in the organization. For more information about it, please refer to the Coexistence of Exchange 2013 and earlier versions
of Exchange server part in the article below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898583(v=exchg.150).aspx
Personal suggestion, please upgrade your legacy application to the latest version which is supported with Exchange 2010 SP3 or higher Exchange version.

Hi Baker,
According to the description, I notice that you want to migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 and want to know how to connect Exchange 2013 with Outlook Client 2007.
Following is an article about the migration, for your reference:
Upgrade from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898583(v=exchg.150).aspx
Outlook client uses Autodiscover and Outlook Anywhere to connect to Exchange server, please make sure services’ URLs configured correctly.
If you want to communicate with external users, you need to apply a certificate issued from a Public CA.
After configuring all the points above, please run “Get-Mailbox –Identity allen | FL *GUID*” in EMS to get mailbox GUID of allen’. Input the GUID into server name filed.

Exchange 2013 and exchange 2000

Hy guys...
I have this problem...i have a dommain controller x.com and i installed Exchange 2013 on it. I have another dommain controler
y.com with Exchange 2000. Thex.com dommain sends and receives mails from other Exchange 2013 servers but when it comes to
y.com dommaind i am only able to send emails to
[email protected] I cannot send emails from y.com
(Exchange 2000) tox.com (Exchange 2013).
Bothx.com dommain controller and y.com dommain controller are in the same network and i fave connectivity between them.
What might be the problem?
Than u,
M.S

Hi,
Firstly, it’s not supported to install Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2000 in the same organization and it’s not recommended to install Exchange server on Domain Controller.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.setupreadiness.exchange2000or2003presentinorg(v=exchg.150).aspx
To understand more about the mail flow issue, I’d like to confirm your meaning that two DCs are in the same network.
If they are in the same forest, it’s by design that Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2000 cannot coexist.
For general mail flow troubleshooting , we can use telnet to check it.
For more information, you can refer to the following articles:

Exchange 2013 SP1 - Edge Tranport Role

Hi.
When Exchange 2013 was released only CAS & Mailbox roles where available. Hub & Edge Transport server roles were discontinued.
Now with Exchange 2013 SP1, the edge transport role has came back.
Question:
1. Can I deploy a new Exchange 2013 Infrastructure without the Edge Transport Role. This will be a fresh deployment.
I plan to have a UTM with spam blocking at the perimeter instead of the Edge Server?
2. will there any be problems without an Edge Transport ?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi ,
Please find the below mentioned points .
1. Can I deploy a new Exchange 2013 Infrastructure without the Edge Transport Role. This will be a fresh deployment.
I plan to have a UTM with spam blocking at the perimeter instead of the Edge Server?
Answer :
Just ensure that the product is having all the features as you need on your side .There is not necessary to have a an edge server in all the exchange environment's. Moreover Gateway and anti spam products will differ as per the company requirements.
2. will there any be problems without an Edge Transport ?
Answer :
If you are having any one the anti spamming solution to have all the emails scanned before it reaches the exchange server then it will be good .
Just ensure that the anti spamming product what you are going to use is mainly doing the reverse dns lookup
and spf look up .With the help of that we can able to avoid large no of forged emails.

Exchange 2013 SP1 mailbox role on 2012 R2 and 2012

Hi,
We have a client who were running the following setup:
2 x Exchange 2013 CU2 CAS servers / Win Srv 2012
2 x Exchange 2013 CU2 MBX servers / Win Srv 2012
Active Directory etc, basically everything else, runs on Win Server 2012.
Due to upgrading etc, one of the mailbox servers has been removed. It is to be installed with Ex2013 SP1 with 2012 R2 from scratch, and eventually also upgrade the remaining CAS and MBX srvers with SP1 and 2012 R2.
So my question is..will this present a problem? Is it possible to have one MBX running 2013 CU2 on Server 2012 and one MBX running 2013 SP1 on Server 2012 R2?
I've read that failover clustering service is not possible between 2012 and 2012 R2, but i'm not sure how this effects Exchange.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Each member of the DAG should be running the same operating system. It is not supported to run a DAG member on Windows Server 2012 R2 and run another member on Windows Server 2012.
What's more, upgrading the OS is not supported on Exchange server.

Exchange 2013 and DKIM

Exchange 2013 SP1 with 1 DAG and 2 members. We are thinking about using DKIM:
http://www.emailarchitect.net/webapp/download/eaexchdomainkeys.exe
First, is this the recommended DKIM app to use or is there a different/better one? Second, we host many domains on our exchange servers. Is it possible to use DKIM with many domains? Third, if we use DKIM do we need to install DKIM on both exchange servers?
Both servers have all roles installed.

Error During Exchange 2013 Mailbox Transport Role Install On Server 2012

I was installing Exchange 2013 on Server 2012. The server is not a DC, but is a member of a domain with a 2008 R2 functional level, and I was logged in as a domain admin. There has never been an Exchange instance on this domain. I got past
the prerequisite checks, and the installer showed 15 steps, so I walked away. When I came back, I saw this:
Step 8 of 15: Mailbox role: Transport service
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
 $maxWait = New-TimeSpan -Minutes 8
 $timeout = Get-Date;
 $timeout = $timeout.Add($maxWait);
 $currTime = Get-Date;
 $successfullySetConfigDC = $false;
 while($currTime -le $timeout)
 $setSharedCDCErrors = @();
 try
 Set-SharedConfigDC -DomainController $RoleDomainController -ErrorVariable setSharedCDCErrors -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;
 $successfullySetConfigDC = ($setSharedCDCErrors.Count -eq 0);
 if($successfullySetConfigDC)
 break;
 Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Info ("An error ocurred while setting shared config DC. Error: " + $setSharedCDCErrors[0]);

 if( -not $successfullySetConfigDC)
 Write-ExchangeSetupLog -Error "Unable to set shared config DC.";
 " was run: "Unable to set shared config DC.".
The only option on the screen was exit, so I did. I checked the start menu, and there were two new Exchange icons, but I did not click them. I ran the installer again, and it detected an incomplete install, the only option was to click next to
finish the install, so I clicked next. This time, I eventually got the same error, except the screen showed "Step 8 of 15: Mailbox role: Transport service." I did install some Exchange 2010 prerquisites on the server before Exchange Server 2013
came out, and I can rebuild the server and try the install again if that would be best, but I thought I should post here first and try to work through this since the product is so fresh. Any suggestions?

I've tried three times since my last post, following
http://msexchange2010.info/archives/2330 as closely as possible the most recent time. I am consistently getting the same error that appears to imply I don't have write access to the domain. I don't understand this, because I am using the
same domain admin account I have been using all along. Nonetheless, here is the powershell output starting with the first Exchange setup.exe step (all other steps were already performed, all available updates were installed, and the server was rebooted

The Exchange Server setup operation didn't complete. More details can be found in ExchangeSetup.log located in the
<SystemDrive>:\ExchangeSetupLogs folder.
PS D:\>
I am cleaning out in ADSI and rebuilding the server for now, because the server is behaving oddly (not as oddly as it was with 6GiB, but oddly, nonetheless). I probably won't try to install Exchange again before tomorrow. What should I do to prevent
encountering the above again and/or if I encounter it again?

Exchange 2013 and 2007 coexistence and redirects

Hi all,
I'm settings up the coexistence but i've got a problem.
I've got 3 sites:
Site A: Exchange 2013 cas and mailbox
Site B: Exchange 2007 hub/cas and mailbox
Site C: Exchange 2007 hub/cas and mailbox
The problem is the owa and active sync redirect. I can open a mailbox located in site B where the legacy.domain.com dns record points, but i cannot open a mailbox from the exchange 2013 nor 2007 owa from site B to C.
I configured only the internal url leaving the external one blank.
How do i redirect all the requests to a mailbox located in site C from site A and B?
Thanks,
D.

You need to have External URL too, so that redirection can take place.

Autodiscover exchange 2013 and 2007

hello,
i am in the process of setting up autodiscover properly for a coexistence environment of exchange 2007 and 2013.
currently, exchange 2007 has the active CAS server role. let's call it server1.contoso.com. Exchange 2013 is installed with the CAS and Mailbox role. let's call that server server2.contoso.com
Assuming all certificates have been installed, i assume that server2.contoso.com has to point to the autodiscover of server1.contoso.com until i have fully moved all mailboxes over to 2013 CAS, correct?
the powershell command i used to set autodiscover on server2 is as follows,
Set-ClientAccessServer -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri https://server2.contoso.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
it then asks for identity and i enter "server2.contoso.com".
Currently, when i type "get-clientaccess server | fl server,*uri I get the follow results,
AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri : https://server1.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri : https://server2.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
Should they both be "AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri : https://server1.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml" since server1 is the active CAS server?
Again, once everything has been migrate i will then change the CAS server to server2.contoso.com
Thanks!!

Apologies if I have confused everyone here.
we need 2 urls for Owa and EWS in 2007 and 2013. My this blog should help
http://msexchangeguru.com/2013/12/31/e20132007-urlsauth/
Undying: Answers are in line.
1. What I understand from the post marked as Answer is there is no need for legacy namespace for Exchange2007/Exchange2013 co-existence, meaning after the installation of Exchange 2013 in the environment there is no need to modify the virtual dirs on exchange
2007 side. Both 2013 and 2007 will be using the mail.domain.com namespace for all the services and once the virtual directories have been configured on the Exchange 2013 CAS it will redirect the request to Exchange2007 CAS for the Exchange2007 mailboxes. And
since there's no need for legacy namespace, it should also mean that there would be no need for any additional publishing rule in the reverse proxy (ISA/TMG), just modifying the current one (mail.domain.com) to point to the Exchange 2013 CAS should do the
trick. Am I correct?
Just to summarize, all the redirection from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2007 will be done without the need of legacy namespace and without modifying any URls on the Exchange 2007 side.
PN Answer:
You need 2 urls for OWA and EWS.
legacy.domain.com and mail.domain.com
Also need
autodiscover.domain.com
Basically you need to change these urls on 2007 side to legacy.domain.com
This means you need to get this url added into the cert.
On TMG side direct all the traffic to 2013 and it will redirect to 2007.
you would need a new public host record for the legacy url.
2. If all that is indeed correct then why the Technet article still make it sound like that the legacy host name is mandatory? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
(Step 7)
PN Answer: Yes we need legacy url
