Exchange Server 2007 Cross Mailbox Search using Export-mailbox

Hi All.
We are trying to do some legal discovery but we are having a few problems.
Exchange 2007 (SBS 2008)
The command for a single user mailbox works and returns the results i would expect:
Export-Mailbox -Identity "User" -SenderKeywords "[email protected]" -TargetMailbox administrator -TargetFolder "Attempt2"
but the same command to run over the entire mailbox database is giving me wildly inaccurate results, including emails from senders with nothing to do with the "[email protected]" address
get-mailbox –Database "Mailbox Database" | Export-Mailbox -SenderKeywords "[email protected]" -TargetMailbox administrator -TargetFolder "Attempt2"
Not only that, but i also want to find out how NOT to include empty folders in the export. Because the "Administrator\Attempt 2" folder doesn't just include the exported messages, but actually includes the full subtree of folders, with lots
of empty folders?
Any help on the above would really be appreciated.
Thanks.

Securely Access Exchange Server 2007 through ASA 5510 using Outlook

Is there any way to access a MS Exchange Server 2007 on Windows server 2008 through an ASA 5510 running 8.4 with a full MS Outlook client (not using OWA - web browser)? OWA is currently working fine but I was wondering if access via the full Outlook client is possible and more importantly...is it opening up too many ports on my 5510? Any help is much appreciated!
~John

Hi John,
For that scenario, a remote access VPN is probably the best way to go (either the traditional IPSec client or SSL VPN/AnyConnect). This config guide lists your options on the ASA:

How to recover mailbox details in Exchange server 2007

Hi,
Problem is Exchange server 2007 user mailbox has been deleted and it’s already purged. Now we need to recover that mailbox. Is there any way to recover purged mailbox in Exchange server 2007?
Or we are planning create new mailbox and help me to find old mailbox server and database details then I will restore data from backup. Please suggest if you have better idea than this one. Thanks

I would suggest using one of your backups and creating a recovery database and pulling the users mailbox from that recovery database.

How to move all emails from mailbox to an external email account in Exchange Server 2007?

I have a user who is leaving the university in a few days. The user would like to forward all of their old emails from their mailbox to their G-mail account. Will setting up email forwarding forward all of the old emails to the G-mail account or just the
new emails that are received after setting up email forwarding? If forwarding isn't the correct solution; then what is? We are running Exchange Server 2007.

No, as you've suspected the forwarding will only affect new messages coming into the mailbox, not existing ones. Additionally, if you did get all existing messages to forward to another account (you could probably do it by creating a rule in Outlook) then
the gmail account would show every single one of them as arriving now, and lose their existing send date.
Probably a better option would be to export the mailbox to .pst, and then assuming the user has their gmail account configured in Outlook somewhere as something other than POP3 they can then open the .pst file on their machine and copy the messages over
to their gmail account, which I think would also preserve the original information.
You could do that via the server using Export-Mailbox as described here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb266964(v=exchg.80).aspx (note it has to be run from a 32-bit OS with the Exchange Management tools installed), or the user could just as easily do it themselves from within Outlook using the Export option.

Backup Issue of exchange server 2007 mailbox store

Dears
Exchange server 2007 with CCR clustering
I have got a problem with the backup of one of my mailbox store. Its going till the last and giveing the final error as follows:-
V-79-57344-65247 - A failure occurred reading an object.
Also the warning as follows:-
Backup- \\mailserver.domain\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group
WARNING: "\\mailserver.domain\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group\Database" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.
Backup V-79-57344-34108 - An unexpected error occurred when cleaning up snapshot volumes. Confirm that all snapped volumes are correctly resynchronized with the original volumes.
Does it mean my information store is really a corrupted file. It has been properly monted and logs are genearting.
Even when I checked the last full backedup log file from the management shell it clearly shows the backing up is properly happened on the log files.
When I checked the event log of Exchnage server I can see these logs:-
Event ID 401, 403 errors
The size of the problem store is 308 GB.
One of the other store with 46 GB is backing up without any issue

Hi,
If you have a space issue with the Exchange server, you can upgrade drives on active node and passive node one by one. It is not recommended to upgrade them at the same time.

Hi, in our Enterprise environment, we have a single mac with Mavericks version 10.9.2 and Office for Mac 14.4.1. When setting up outlook, we are trying to connect to a mailbox on exchange server 2007.

Hi, in our Enterprise environment, we have a single mac with Mavericks version 10.9.2 and Office for Mac 14.4.1. When setting up outlook, we are trying to connect to a mailbox on exchange server 2007. We put in the EWS details in the server field since our autodiscover function is not functioning. But still it doesn't work. There are no errors, no popups. We turned on the logging and in the logs, it says a error of -3259. We are stuck and any help will be really appreciated.

I have a customer experiencing exactly the same issue. Their computer is running Windows 7 Pro with Office 2007 SP3. After seemingly exhausting all troubleshooting options, I backed up their data, formatted the hard drive and performed a clean install of
Windows and all their applications. It didn't solve the problem!
What's strange is the customer also has a laptop computer, running the same version of Outlook, and that doesn't experience any problems connecting to Office 365 on the same network.
My next step is to send the customer a new ADSL modem/router to try.
I have another customer on Office 365, also running Outlook 2007, and they also experience issues with emails sitting in the outbox while Outlook displays the status message “Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft exchange server outlook.office365.com.”
In this case Outlook doesn't freeze/stop responding, like it does for the first customer I mentioned.

Using Exchange Server 2007 with 755p ???

After three phone calls to Palm customer service, I still cannot get my 755p to connection to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 via Versamail. I have tried enumerous combinations without success. One customer service person told me I had to have a "certificate" with Server 2007 (unlike) but she could never tell me how to use it. (I have a line in my regular Outlook account set-up that reads "Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their certificate:" I have that name in Outlook , but see no way of using it in Versamail. Without that certificate, it seems to reject my username and password.)
Any help here from someone who has actually been able to connect using the basic Versamail wizard and Exchange 2007? (I'm using Windows XP, but setting this up in the 755p -- not the computer. My service is Sprint.)

Exchange server goes down... Export EDB into PST?

Can some body help me.....how can i import my EDB file into Outlook file format
Please help me....

Agreed please provide more details such as the version of Exchange for the EDB and also where you want the data to really end up, i.e. in PST or are you planning on injecting it back into a Production Exchange server and if so what version is the production
server
How big is the Offline EDB and how many mailboxes are within?
What happened to the Server to cause you to need to do this extraction?
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

MimeMessage.reply() issue with MS Exchange Server 2007 Emails

I have an application that retrieves emails from an MS Exchange Server 2003 mailbox. The data from each message is read, validated and conditionally loaded to a table. If the message doesn't pass validation, a rejection email is sent back to the sender with an error message and a copy of the email. (We're using Java 1.5. However, I test with both 1.5 and 1.6.)
Also, if the message passes validation, positive notification is sent back to the sender.
Both processes use the method: javax.mail.Message.reply()It's coded as:
MimeMessage reply = (MimeMessage) message.reply(false);My organization is in the process of migrating to MS Exchange Server 2007. We've found that the reply() method no longer finds the sender method, thus unable to create a reply message. The error message we receive is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: No recipient addresses
     at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:110)
     at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:80)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.sendReply(DataCollector.java:514)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.processMessages(DataCollector.java:162)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.main(DataCollector.java:101)After creating the MimeMessage object from the reply() method, I printed out the email header detail from both 2003 and 2007 messages. You'll note from below that the "To" or recipient address is missing from Server 2007.
MS Exchange 2003 works fine
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: Re: Report
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>MS Exchange 2007 no longer works
From: [email protected]
Subject: Re: Reports
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>I know I could just use the "addRecipient()" method to get around this problem. I wanted to know if anyone has encountered this issue. Please share the resolution. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
LaelW

When the original message is accessed using IMAP, the reply method uses the information in the
IMAP ENVELOPE to determine where to send the reply. It first looks for the Reply-To address
in the ENVELOPE, then the From address.
Interestingly, when not using IMAP, the getFrom method returns the Sender header if the From
header is empty. The IMAP-specific code doesn't do that, although perhaps it should.
It would be interesting to compare the ENVELOPE data from the protocol trace in the two cases.
The ENVELOPE data will follow this syntax:
envelope     = "(" env-date SP env-subject SP env-from SP
          env-sender SP env-reply-to SP env-to SP env-cc SP
          env-bcc SP env-in-reply-to SP env-message-id ")"
So it's the first three address fields after the Subject that are relevant. If the From and Reply-To
fields are NIL, but the Sender field has a valid address, let me know. I should probably fix the
IMAP provider to fall back to the Sender field if the From field is missing.

Exchange Server 2007 shows email as "Receive" but not "Deliver"

Hi Guys
We have Exchange Server 2007 inside of a SBS 2008 set up.
One specific email from a regular sender wasn't received by the recipient. The recipient is used to receiving messages from this sender and the email is not hiding within Outlook.
Exchange 2007 mail tracker shows the email was received, but that's it. Nothing has happened to the email after that. Normally we'd see a "Deliver" report, or possibly a "Fail", but always something to show the email has been actioned
in some way.
The queues are all empty.
So, this one email has disappeared into the ether of Exchange! So far as I can see, this is the only email with only a "Receive" notification. All others have something else immediately following the Receive.
The Server has GFI anti-spam installed, but that hasn't seen the email either, because emails are collected by Exchange before being passed to GFI. In this instance it hasn't been passed, or returned to the sender as undeliverable. It just seems
to have been eaten.
Would anyone have any sensible suggestions on where to start kicking this email back into life?

Hi Simon
Apologies for the late response, but I only get to this client once a month.
1. Did the sender get NDR? ~ No
2. Let the receiver check the email via OWA and see
whether the email is available. ~ Still not available
3. Use MFCMAPI to check the user mailbox, can you
find the missing email? ~ I haven't yet worked out what is MFCMAPI or how to use it to check, but I suspect that as the Exchange email tracker doesn't have any actions after "Receive" that it cannot have sent the email on to the user's mailbox or rejected
the email as non-deliverable.
The client isn't too willing to expend too much effort
/ cost on this issue which does appear to be a one-off glitch, but I am interested in resolving it for myself as I haven't heard of this problem before.
Thanks for the interest,
Michael D

Exchange server 2007 SP3

Dear all,
Presently we are using exchange server 2007 Sp3 along with windows 2008 x64 Domain controller it's working fine . But we have some issue related with
Message Size restriction when I changed maximum msg size sent and receive this option will applied to the mail box user taking long time how can i update this option immediately to the end users ?
Best Regards
Subash

Hi,
After you configure the mailbox size restriction for a mailbox, the configured limits are enforced after a period of time, but do not take effect immediately. Restarting the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service causes the configured limits to take
effect immediately.
Please restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service to check result.

Exchange Server 2007 OWA users can receive email but can't send

Hi,
I have an Exchange server 2007 in an SBS 2008 environment with POP3 connector configured and working fine , smtp send mail connector configured.
Now users can connect to OWA, receive email but cant not send.
smtp connector works fine from Outlook client. Tried to track the emails from exchange server management console and I get the
SEND DELIVER SUBMIT TRANSFER.
The emails go to the sent items folder, but it never reach the recipients.
Have been troubleshooting for a while without succes. Any help will be most appreciated.
Regards
Faisal

POP3 is a single mailbox client mail retrieval protocol, not a mail transport protocol.
Any attempt to use it as a mail transport protocol is a great big kludge.
Exchange is designed to connect to the Internet using SMTP.
No version of Exchange has a POP3 connector.
I recommend that you post this in the SBS Forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/smallbusinessserver/threads

Exchange Server 2007 Transport Agent Issue

This is the first time i am working on Exchange Server Development. Below is a simple Transport Agent that i am using, this agent should simply update the email Subjects
as shown below in the code.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Transport;
using Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Transport.Smtp;
namespace MyAgents
public sealed class MyAgentFactory : SmtpReceiveAgentFactory
public override SmtpReceiveAgent CreateAgent(SmtpServer server)
return new MyAgent();
public class MyAgent : SmtpReceiveAgent
public MyAgent()
this.OnEndOfData += new EndOfDataEventHandler(MyEndOfDataHandler);
private void MyEndOfDataHandler(ReceiveMessageEventSource source, EndOfDataEventArgs e)
e.MailItem.Message.Subject = "This message passed through my agent: " + e.MailItem.Message.Subject;
Below is the Powershell script i am using to install the Agent.
Net Stop MSExchangeTransport
Install-TransportAgent -Name MyAgent -AssemblyPath EmailLogger.dll -TransportAgentFactory MyAgents.MyAgentFactory
Enable-TransportAgent -Identity MyAgent
Net Start MSExchangeTransport
Agent installed successfully using Exchange Management Shell.
Now when i send/receive emails in exchange, Email subjects are not modified. Emails have their original subjects. I don't know why?
I also performed the steps mentioned in below links to debug the Agent but breakpoints are not being hit by Visual Studio Debugger.
sf-tools.net/Messaging/tabid/55/EntryId/163/Exchange-2010-Transport-Agent.aspx
stackoverflow.com/questions/12347123/debugging-ms-exchange-2007-transport-agent
omarjames.com/blog/index.php/debugging-exchange-transport-agent/
My System Configuration
I am using the Exchange Server 2007 Virtual Machine provided by Microsoft from link below
microsoft.com/en-pk/download/details.aspx?id=14901
I also installed the Visual Studio 2008 on the VM for debugging.
Please help me in resolving the issue?

How are you testing this ? a SmtpReceiveAgent will only fire when the server receives email over SMTP. So if your just logging on and sending an Internal Email (eg mailbox to mailbox) or sending Email externally then the
SmtpReceiveAgent wont fire. For a single server if you want to capture all email you need to use a router agent see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/postwoman/archive/2010/09/14/step-by-step-how-to-create-a-routing-agent.aspx
. If you want to test what you have try sending an email to mailbox over SMTP using an SMTP client or Telnet

Migration of Unity users from MS Exchange server 2007 to 2010

Hi,
I am having Unity 7.0 with MS Exchange server 2007,now want to transfer the users and Unity mailboxes to MS Exchange server 2010. Want to know the procedure. Can anyone help me out?

The way you're doing it has two very high hurdles.
First, you have to get the data out of an offline server and into Office 365. That's hardly a trivial task. If the server were online and reachable by the Internet you could use a move request or a third-party tool like MigrationWiz.
Second, if you do get the mail moved, you will want to synchronize the legacyExchangeDN attribute from the old organization into an X500 proxy address in Office 365 for all mailboxes to preserve mail replyability.
