Exchange Co-Existence and virtual directories

We are currently running Exchange 2007, 2010 and 2013 in the same site. Our external connections point to our production namespace (company.domain.com) which is our 2013 CAS servers. We have a legacy namespace for our 2007 environment. Our 2010 server have
no mailboxes and will not be used, it has it's own namespace. We have one mailbox that 5 ad accounts access, They do not have their own mailboxes they all access this one. It always worked with
https://mail.domain.com/owa/[email protected] Since we moved our connections to 2013 they can no longer login to this account. They get the error "Outlook Web Access could not find a mailbox
for EXCHANGE\Administrator. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization and tell them the following: The mailbox may be stored on a Microsoft Exchange 2000 or Microsoft Exchange 2003 server, or the Active Directory user account
was created recently and has not yet replicated to the Active Directory site where this Client Access server is hosted."
Any assistance appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, I am not quite sure about your environment. Do you mean that there are only two Exchange servers using for mailbox connection: Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013? And Exchange 2010 is not using for user accessing.
Since there is only one user mailbox, was the mailbox created in Exchange 2007 database or moved to Exchange 2013 mailbox database? If the company.domain.com is pointed to Exchange 2013, please check which server the mail.domain.com is pointed to. Please
run the following command to check your OWA configuration:
Get-OwaVirtualDirectory | Select Identity,name,Internalurl,ExternalUrl,*auth*
For more information about Client connectivity in an Exchange 2013 coexistence environment, please refer to

Exchange 2007 to 2013 virtual directories

I'm gathering information before I do my transition to Exchange 2013. One thing I'm not sure about is the virtual directory for OWA. The information I have gathered states to change the internal/external URL to legacy.domain.com. However
my virtual directory for OWA are not defined. How do I approach that? do I just not set anything?
Thanks

I planned on configuring each like this below. I'm not using UM but that is also good to know. Outlook Anywhere is enabled on the 2007 side. This is also just a single exchange server

Need to establish Connection between CRM and   Virtual Directories.

Dear All,
I am working for Telecom project.
I have one requirement that we need to establish Connection between CRM and   Virtual Directories.
This is existing in Access management system.( SAP EP environment )
The basic requirement is, with SAP EP environment we are integrating 8 different application. But for all this Application we have a one more system called Access management system (like Basis in Sap). This will validate the user access and BP(Business Partner ) data for users who logon to a different respective application. For all this applications Company data (Master Data) has to provide from CRM and the changes took place for Company data in CRM will be updated in to Virtual Directories .For this service we need to establish Delta mode connection between SAP CRM and Virtual Directories.
Which is existing in Access management system .
   Do we have any standard connectors from SAP CRM to connect and who we can achieve this .
Please let us know..Certainly there will be a reward points
Thanks & regards.

Components and virtual directories.

CF8hf3, W2K3, IIS.
Site1\application.cfc (-> this.name = "site1";)
Site1\Components\MyComponent.cfm
Site1\UseComponentToShowSiteNameOnSite1.cfm
Site2\application.cfc (-> this.name = "site2";)
Site2\Components ... this is an IIS virtual directory that
points to Site1\Components
Site2\UseComponentToShowSiteNameOnSite2.cfm
Problem #1
Create this cfc and place it in \Site1\Components. The
virtual directory makes it available to site2 as well. The website
root for the site containing the virtual directory has a different
application.cfc than the website that has this test component in
it's physical structure.
<cfcomponent displayname="test component">
<cffunction name="TestFunction" output="No"
returntype="string" access="remote">
<cfreturn application.applicationname>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
If this component is called directly:
http://site2/Components/test.cfc?method=testfunction
it returns the applicationname for site1, however, when used
like so:
<cfoutput>
#createobject("Component",
"site2.Components.Test").TestFunction()#
</cfoutput>
it returns site2.
Problem #2
A CFGrid tag on site2 with this bind attribute:
bind="cfc:site2.Components.Test.TestFunction({cfgridpage}...
generates this js in the rendered page:
ColdFusion.Bind.cfcBindHandler(<snip>...
:_cf_grid_errorhandler,'cfc':'/site1/Components/test.cfc','cfcFunction':'TestFunction'
...<snip>
On both occasions it appears the cf server traverses the
physical path and uses that to resolve Application.cfc which is
different behavior than any other processed file.
Thanks!
Mischa.

Yep, exactly as it explains it will in the documentation on
Application.cfm and Application.cfc files. CF looks for these
in the
physical path, not the virtural path of the directory.
This is a big reason most CF developers will tout that a
component
should only know what is passed to it is arguments. Expecting
it to
'know' something such as what application it is in, or what
is in the
session scope and such will experience problems just like
this.
Want to see what a bigger headache this could be. Set some
session data
in each site1 and site2 that is different and then check the
results
with the same kind of testing.
<quote from="CF Documentation">
*How ColdFusion MX finds and process application definition
pages*
ColdFusion MX uses the following rules to locate and process
the
Application.cfc, Application.cfm, and OnRequestEnd.cfm pages
that define
application-specific elements. The way ColdFusion MX locates
these files
helps determine how you structure an application.
Each time ColdFusion MX processes a page request it does the
following:
When ColdFusion starts processing the request, it does the
following:
It searches the pages directory for a file named
Application.cfc. If
one exists, it creates a new instance of the CFC, processes
the initial
events, and stops searching. (ColdFusion MX creates a new
instance of
the CFC and processes its initialization code for each
request.)
If the requested pages directory does not have an
Application.cfc file,
it checks the directory for an Application.cfm file. If one
exists,
ColdFusion MX logically includes the Application.cfm page at
the
beginning of the requested page and stops searching further.
If the requested pages directory does not have an
Application.cfc or
Application.cfm file, *ColdFusion MX searches up the
directory tree and
checks each directory first for an Application.cfc file and
then, if one
is not found, for an Application.cfm page, until it reaches
the root
directory (such as C:\).* When it finds an Application.cfc or
Application.cfm file, it processes the page and stops
searching.
</quote>
Note in the last paragraph on what tree ColdFusion searches
and where it
stops.

Load balancing and Virtual directories (solaris w/ iPlanet)

Hi everybody,
I would like some assistance configuring some load balancing. Our environment consists of 6 physical servers, iPlanet 6, Weblogic 8.1, and Cisco CSS content load balancers. I need some help in the obj.conf for iplanet....
I am trying to create a blanket cisco load balancer rule which would be able to cover all future web services our group wishes to create. The cisco load balancer is easy, I just need help on the iplanet obj.conf.
ie.
hardware load balancer
https://webapi.aaa.com/webservices/*
(points to all 6 iplanet instances)
weblogic
URL on a particular weblogic server may be:
http://weblogic1:9001/webservice1/aaa.jws
http://weblogic2:9001/webservice1/aaa.jws
... weblogic6:9001/webservice1/aaa.jws
http://weblogic1:9001/webservice2/bbb.jws
http://weblogic2:9001/webservice2/bbb.jws
... weblogic6:9001/webservice2/bbb.jws
How do I configure the obj.conf to be clustered as well as make the webservice look like it's coming from
https://webapi.aaa.com/webservices/webservice1/aaa.jws
as well as
https://webapi.aaa.com/webservices/webservice2/bbb.jws
(note the prefix of "webservices")
Thanks!

Hi,
I agree with the suggestion above. For questions related to IIS, you’d better ask in IIS forum for professional assistance. By the way, I will
change this thread to a general discussion, thanks for your understanding and support.

WLS5.1 HTTP server and virtual directories

Hi
Could someone please tell me if you can configure a virtual directory in WLS5.1's
HTTP server.
We wish to configure a directory that is unrelated to the document root.
Many thanks
Tim

You can write your own Servlet that serves up pages from wherever you like.
There is now 'configurable' way to do this in WLS 5.1

Multiple Websites or virtual directories in IIS

Hi,
I am kind of confused by the doc:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/plugins/isapi.html#109058
multiple Websites and virtual directories are totally different things.
I am assuming here is talking about the virtual directory. But when I tried to follow the steps to set the Application Protection (last step) I got a popup warning says:
COM+ was unable to talk to the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
what's that mean? how can I set it?
Thanks

Hi Teser,
I'm glad you wrote this post, because I've been struggling with this beast for the better part of a day now. I find the documentation to be misleading, confusing and poorly written.
I hope that someone can enlighten regarding this one, 'cause I am getting the same error. In the meantime I am trying to find out the meaning of this message and will post it if I find it.

Exchange 2013 Autodiscover and Webservices virtual directories with wrong address

Hey people,

Help anyone?
Many thanks,

Hi Andrey,
Exchange Web Service in Exchange server configuration is working for all users in your Exchange environment, not just for one specific user. If you want to double make sure the EWS service in client side, we can directly access the EWS URL in IE of your
Windows machine, and see whether a proper XML file is returned. If so, then we can safely ignore the web service test result.
As for automatic signature application, do you mean
Add a signature automatically to every message? Please try to remove the signature and reset it again to check whether the issue persists.

Exchange Server IIS Virtual Directories

Hi Guys,
I need to remove all the directories from Exchange CAS Server except the directories are required for ActiveSync. can someone give me the direction about the directories are not required for ActiveSync.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Rishi Aggarwal
Regards Rishi Aggarwal

my client made a decision about removing external OWA but ActiveSync. so looking what are the Exact directories are required for ActiveSync so except that i can remove every directory.
Hi,
OWA works only internally,
ActiveSync works both internally and externally, right?
I would suggest to create a new website with a unique IP in IIS and only adding ActiveSync to that website using a cmdlet. That would give us a website hosted on the box that served the ActiveSync devices but nothing else, leaving the OWA open for internal
access. The firewall would point to this website/IP on the CAS. We could also create a virtual directory under there for /OWA and /Exchange which would serve up the generic “this service is no longer available, please contact the help desk” message as the
default webpage. This makes it easy to manage, monitor, and control traffic to.
Command to create a new Active Virtual directory:
New-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName "domain.com"

Virtual directories on second exchange server

On my first Exchange install I changed all the virtual directory's to point to mail.domain.com. I've added a second exchange server to another site and have round robin dns including the host name in the A record "mail". Would I also
change the virtual directories on the second server to mail.domain.com?

Hi
You can create a DAG if the servers are on the same OS and same version.
You can then install your certificate that has the name mail.domain.com and change your urls to match the first server.
You need to update DNS with a A record if you using Round Robin so that mail.domain.com points to server A but also server B, so in short you will have 2 records with the same name but pointing to different servers.
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Virtual Directories and ColfFusion

This is really hot but I need to know what happens when
ColdFusion accessed a Virtual Directory. Does any one have a
architect of this for ColdFusion?
This is REALLY HOT and I need this ASAP. I have the following
but I need to add the VD part.
Jim

> ColdFusion accessed a Virtual Directory
I'm guessing you mean Virtual Directories in IIS?
I don't think CF is the one actually accessing these
directories? I think IIS
simply has a map from the virtual to the physical, and it's
the physical that IIS
passes to CF?
Meaning, CF is unaware of the Virtual Directory? This is not
to say that .cfm
files located in Virtual Directories do not get processed by
CF.
Good luck!

Offline address book virtual directories. powershell

Hi ,
how can i using powershell, to add a another oab virtual directory to the offline address book virtual directories.
Get-offlineaddressbook |fl virtualdirectories will bring all existing ones. I want to be able to add another Virtual directory to this multi valued attribute
any help?
ammarhasayen

I know I am replying to a 2-year old thread, but I just worked out the answer and I feel this is a good place to share it. I also know my answer is for Exchange Server 2013, not 2010, but I hope it might help anyway.
$NewVirtualDirs = @()Get-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "Default Offline Address Book" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty VirtualDirectories | ForEach-Object { $NewVirtualDirs += $_.ObjectGUID.ToString() }$NewVirtualDirs += (Get-OabVirtualDirectory -Identity "lon-cas2\OAB (Default Web Site)").Guid.ToString()Set-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "Default Offline Address Book" -VirtualDirectories $NewVirtualDirs
I used the GUID because the Name property of the virtual directory does not include the machine name ("OAB (Default Web Site)" instead of "lon-cas2\OAB (Default Web Site)")
The following code (my first approach) does not work (which is a shame).
Set-OfflineAddressBook -Identity "Default Offline Address Book" -VirtualDirectories @{Add="lon-cas2\OAB (Default Web Site)"}
As an aside, I think Fiona's question "May I know why you want to create additional OAB VD?" needs addressing. The answer is 'For fault tolerance." A single OAB virtual directory is a single point of failure, which is bad. I'm a little
surprised a moderator here doesn't understand the value of fault tolerance.

Exchange 2013 certtificate and FQDN of CAS/MB servers

Good Morning,
I have read articles that say I should not need anything but the fqdn names of things like autodiscover.mycompany.com and mail.mycompany.com on the cert you install on the exchange server. I went that route and installed it on every exchange server
but for some reason, the client gets prompted for credentials with this configuration.
When I create a cert with all the CAS/MB FQDN names ( ie. casmb01.mycompany.pvt) on the cert, they do not get prompted and the exhttp allows the outlook client to connect properly.
this is a 2007 to 2013 migration. I am testing just the connectivity and have not put the 2013 as the proxy yet.
The clients also have an internal host name .pvt in the cert so I would imagine this would be a problem for outlook anywhere unless they vpn in and trust the local CA.
Can I use only the autodiscover and mail .mycompany.com
does anyone else have this set up this was?
thanks
Paul

Here's what I would do:
If you are planning on allowing people to access Outlook Anywhere and Active Sync Externally
Since you can only have 1 cert bound to IIS I would create the cert via a 3rd party CA. They will only give you a cert for publicly accessible tlds. So on that cert you will need mail.company.com, autodiscover.company.com
and legacy.company.com. The legacy can really be anything you want, and is needed for OWA and ActiveSync redirection. Once I have the cert, I would change all the virtual directories to have their respective *.company.com addresses. In
order for this to work properly with DNS (internally you get an internal address) you will need to create a dns zone called mail.company.com and point that to your 2013 CAS servers and another one for legacy.company.com and point that to your 2007 Servers.
If you are not allowing any external access then you can just create whatever certs you want to via your internal CA.
