Exchange Server 2010 Edge - Port Change

I am learning Exchange 2010 and have set it up. BUT my ISP blocks port 25 so I thought no problem I have a windows VPS set up I will install an Exchange Edge Server there and then it will work. However it looks like exchange uses port 25 to send the messages
to the Edge server.
I have used this command to change the ports of the send connectors but my router shows it is still trying to send on port 25. Any ideas?
Set-SendConnector “EdgeSync - Home To Internet” -port 2525
Set-SendConnector “EdgeSync - Inbound to Home” -port 2525
Get-SendConnector | fl
shows the ports as set to 2525
Any Ideas?

For home learning I would recommend you approached this from a slightly different angle.
Don’t make any changes to your servers that you would not encounter in a real environment.
Get a POP3 connector (POPCON is cheap) and pull all email from your gmail account using that application.
That application will then dump the messages using SMTP to your Edge or your HT (you choose)
Outbound messages are obviously SMTP and you can configure your servers to authenticate to your ISPs relay and send messages in the normal way.

Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport Subscription Issue while moving Internal CA Certificate to 3rd Party Certificate

My Client have a Exchange 2010 Organization with Single Domain Single Forest.
They were using Internal CA Certificate and a TLS Cert.
As a POC we are doing a POC for Exchange 2010 Hybrid Office 365 Environment.
For this 3rd Party CA is Mandatory and they have bought a Geo Trust Certificate.
Now when they have installed cert on both HUB as well as EDGE servers, he was prompted to do edge subscription again.
HUB and CAS are combined on the server at both Main and DR Site.
When they try to do edge subscription again they are getting the following error.
SYED WASIL UDDIN Infrastructure Consultant/System Engineer Premier Systems (Pvt.) Ltd.

I was finding out the solution and got this.
1-Certificate will import on both EDGE and HUB Servers.
2-Edge Sync will use Self-Sign Certificate (but I an unable to find how do I configure this)
3-some communication between Edge and Hub will be encrypted via 3rd party Certificate.
Could anyone suggest, which services on HUB must based in this 3rd party cert.
All the external communication must be encrypted via 3rd party CA and communication between HUB-EDGE will set on self-sign Cert. How do I do this.

Hi,
Please run Get-ExchangeCertificate | fl to check your Exchange certificate settings. Also confirm if the 5E470560626E313646730C177FCA66728E2BAFF7 certificate is your trusted 3rd party cert.
Please use Enable-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet to assign SMTP service to your self-signed certificate in your Edge server.

Update Rollup 6/7 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Our config :
Version 14.2 (Build 247.5)
2 Mailbox servers (DAG), 2 CAS/HUB Servers using a NLB, 2 edge
my question is the following:
can i go directly to rullp 7 without installing 2,4, 5, 6 or I have to install all rollup ?
and what's the bests practices for installing rollup ?

Hello,
You can install rollup 7 directly without installing rollup 2,4, 5, 6.
You should install rollup 7 on your Exchange 2010 server roles in the following order: Client Access/ Hub Transport ,Mailbox and Edge Transport.
Please refer to the following article to install rollup 7 on CAS Array Members. (Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does

http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-install-updates-on-exchange-server-2010-cas-arrays/
Please refer to the following steps to install rollup 7 on Database Availability Group Members.
=============================================================
1. Run the StartDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script on the server being updated.
2. Install the update rollup .
3. Run the StopDagServerMaintenance.ps1 script .
4. Re-balance the DAG, as needed .

Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard "Certificate Authority Service" / Exchange Server 2010 EMC not starting and no AD connectivity for authentication.

Hello,
I am a new IT Manager at this company and need assistance big time. Their environment looks as follows:
Server 1. Domain Controller Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running active directory.
Server 2. Email Server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) running Exchange Server 2010 .
* Note. No back ups to work with aside from whats mentioned below.
DC had a virus infection causing a lot of issues on the shared network drives 2 days ago locking up all the files with a crypto ransom virus. Running Avast suppressed the infection. Had to recover the file shares which luckily had a back up.
The issue is that the Exchange Server 2 post this lost connectivity with the AD Server 1. Exchange Server 2 when launching EMC could not launch the console stating the following:
"No Exchange servers are available in any Active Directory sites. You can’t connect to remote
Powershell on a computer that only has the Management Tools role installed."
Shortly after I found that it is possible the EMC launcher was corrupt and needed to be reinstalled following another blog post. I deleted the exchange management console.msc per instructions only to discover I couldnt relaunch it because there was
no way how. So I copied another msc file that happened to be on the DC Server 1 back to Exchange Server 2 and got it to launch again.
Another post said that it might be an issue with the Domain Account for the Computer, so to delete it in the AD Server 1 only to find that rejoining it from Exchange Server 2 using Computer>Properties> Chage Settings > Change is greyed out because
it is using the Certificate Authority Service.
I tried manually re-adding the computer in AD and modeling permissions after another server in group settings but no go. After this I was unable to login to the Exchange Server 2 with domain accounts but only local admin, receiving the following Alert:
"The Trust Relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed."
I tried running the Power Shell tools on Exchange Server 2 to rejoing and to reset passwords for domain accounts as noted in some other blogs but no luck as the Server 2 could not make the connection with Server1 or other errors it kept spitting out.
I also during the investigation found the DNS settings were all altered on both the Server 1 and Server 2 which I luckily was able to change back to original because of inventorying it in the beginning when I started.
I need help figuring out if I need to rejoin the Exchange Server 2 manually by disabling the Certificate Authority Service (or removing the CA as listed here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/fb23deab-0a12-410d-946c-517d5aea7fae/windows-server-2008-r2-with-certificate-authority-service-to-rejoin-domain?forum=winserversecurity
and getting exchange server to launch again. (Mind you I am relatively fresh to server managing) Please help E-Mail has been down for a whole day now!

When sending e-mail messages to a mail-enabled public folder that have been replicated from old Exchange Server 2000/2003/2007, Exchange Server 2010 environment mails are rejected with NDR.

Hi, I would like to share with you issue that I’ve solved regarding mail-enabled PF that migrated from Exchange 2000/2003/2007 to 2010, I’ve searched & contacted my MVP leader – there’s no official KB regarding this issue right
now, so I’m posting here in order to share this among others.
Note: There’s article(s) that talked about PF replication from Exch2000/2003/2007 to 2010 – this is the same issue as well.
Symptoms
E-mail messages that been sent to mail-enabled public folder in Exchange Server 2010 environment rejected with the following NDR:
“#< #5.2.0 smtp;554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Deliver.Exception:ObjectNotFoundException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message The Active Directory user wasn’t found. ObjectNotFoundException: The Active Directory
user wasn’t found.> #SMTP#”
Sometimes Exchange Server 2010 is documented as well Event ID 1020 on the Event Viewer with this information:
“Log Name: Application
Source: MSExchange Store Driver
Event ID: 1020
Level: Error
Description:
The store driver couldn’t deliver the public folder replication message "Hierarchy ([email protected])" because the following error occurred: The Active Directory user wasn't found.”
Cause
In an environment where Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 previously existed, and all those servers have been removed, there is a chance that an Administrative Group (First Administrative Group or another custom Administrative
Group) remains with a Servers container, but no servers inside it.
During replication, when the Exchange 2010 Store Driver sees the empty Servers container in Active Directory, it's expecting a System Attendant object inside the container and when it is not found the error occurs.
Resolution
To work around the issue, delete the empty Servers container. This can't be done through Exchange System Manager. Use the ADSI Edit tool to remove it using the following steps:
Warning If you use the ADSI Edit snap-in, the LDP utility, or any other LDAP version 3 client, and you incorrectly modify the attributes of Active Directory objects, you can cause serious problems. These problems may require you to reinstall Microsoft Windows
2003 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server or both Windows and Exchange. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that occur if you incorrectly modify Active Directory object attributes can be solved. Modify these attributes
at your own risk.
1.
Start the ADSI Edit MMC Snap-in. Click Start, then
Run, and type adsiedit.msc, and then click OK.
2.
Connect & Expand the Configuration Container [YourServer.DNSDomainName.com], and then expand
CN=Configuration,DC=DNSDomainName,DC=com.
3.
Expand CN=Services, and then CN=Microsoft Exchange, and then expand
CN=YourOrganizationName.
4.
You will see an empty Administrative Group. Expand the
CN=YourAdministrativeGroupName.
5.
Expand CN=Servers.
6.
Verify there are no server objects listed under the
CN=Servers container.
7.
Right click on the empty CN=Servers container and choose
Delete.
8.
Verify the modification, and try to send again the E-mail to the mail-enabled public folder.

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

Need help with Outlook 2013 connecting to Exchange server(2010)

Hi
I need help with Outlook 2013 and with my exchange server(2010) email account
After setting up account initially emails come in and than after an hour or two stop. My OWA is working fine with no issues. I have even created a forward rule in OWA to my GMAIL account whch works fine
However Outlook 2013 is not syncing messages, have difficulty in sending emails sometimes as it takes too long. In fact the connection also is intermittent. Even if the task bar shows connected to exchange, it seems that is not the case since new emails
and any emails I compose dont work. I have trouble shot the issue with my ISP and email service provide, but they havent resolved the issue I have also done a TraceRoute and that shows no drops or problems to he exchange server.
Can someone please help me resolve this matter so I can continue to use Outlook 2013( running Windows 8.1) in both my computers which have the identical problem
Look forward to a solution soon
Thanks

Hi Angela
Thanks for your message
To answer your questions, please note the following
a) My account is set up in Cache Mode( not online mode)
b) I am the only other user on the account
c) When the connection to the exchange server is broken, I see upon clicking connection tab that there is no information in the box, and when I press reconnect it starts showing "connecting"
d) When the connection to the server is there, it shows connection as "established"
e) Sorry I dont understand th meaning of CAS array in your environment? Can you pls explain
Since yday I have been using Outlook 2010 on desktop and Outlook 2013 on my laptop using Exchange 2013 account. So far all emails are syncing, and I can send emails from both computers. However, I am concerned that the connection can break-off anytime,
as it has done that in the past on both outlook versions. The max time it has worked without any problem is 48 hrs and than after that the same issue of not connection, not syncing and unable to send emails happens
My ISP has checked and there is no network connectivity issues. My email service provider has trouble shot the issue many times, but to no positive results. I have also changed the profile a few times, but the intermittent connectivity problem hasn't
been resolved.
Can you identify the possible causes and more importantly a working permanent solution please
Thanks

Hi,
Did you get any NDR message now when you send a email to outside? And vice versa.
In addtion,I recommend you telnet to port 25 to test SMTP communication.
If any question,please feel free to post here.

Exchange Server 2010 Backup and Restore

Hai,
I have Exchange server 2010 stand alone server combined with mailbox, hub and cas role. i dont have backup application program. I want to take my exchange database backup to my SAN storage automatically everyday...
Using windows server backup i can take full backup only and i can schedule it to happen daily.. Is it possible can i take incremental backup??????????for exchange 2010 database.
Thanks Chandru CT. MCITP

You have two basic options to backup Exchange 2010, VSS snapshots and "native backup" (meaning a Lag copy). As far as VSS backups go, there are three components; the VSS Writer, the VSS Provider, and the VSS Requestor. The Writer is built into
Exchange. In fact in Exchange 2010 there are two - the Exchange VSS Writer and the Exchange VSS Replica Writer. The provider can be a software VSS provider such as the Microsoft Shadow Copy provider or a hardware provider (usually supplied by your
SAN vendor. The requestor is what you would tend to think of as the backup application; it coordinates activities between the Writer and the Provider.
As far as the Exchange 2010 plugin for Windows backup goes, it a very minimal requestor. It only supports the Exchange 2010 VSS Writer, not the Replica Writer. This means you can only take backups of the Active copy of a database. The requirement
to backup the entire "volume" in the windows sense, or partition to the rest of us is a function of the way VSS works and is no real surprise. In fact, another limitation of VSS is that the logs and database need to be on seperate volumes: see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee832794.aspx.
That it only takes full backups makes sense as well. Shadow copies, like many software providers and many hardware providers out there are copy on write. Initially, after the first one that is, they take up minimal space for some metadata.
As data is writen to the volume while the the snapshot is in place, the original blocks are evacuated to a "difference area" and the write is then written to the newly evacul\ated spot. You can generally put the difference area on the same volume or
somewhere else. The downside is to write a block while a copy on write snapshot is in place means a read and two writes for every write. This gets ugly on RAID 5 which already has a write penalty of 4; that turns into 9 IOs for every write while
the copy on write snapshot is in place. Since you can't do the snapshots on the replica because the replica writer isn't supported, that IO hit is on the active copy. When using copy on write snapshots, you generally want as few around as possible
for as short a time as possible; usually just long enough to export or copy the snapshot to another set of spindles. I really wouldn't want to use WSB plugin for Exchange 2010 in anything but the smallest deployments.
What about native backup? Well then you take a 100% space hit for every lag copy. In addition, restoring a LAG is a one shot deal. As you strive with the LAG to match what you could achieve with even daily or weekly copy on write snapshots,
the number of database copies, and Exchange mailbox servers, poliferates. You may want to consider a "Happy medium" that combines a LAG for fault tolerance/protection against logical corruption with copy on write snapshots (replicated or copied
to seperate storage) for HA. Perhaps DPM would be worth a look in your situation.
You did mention that you have a SAN. Most SAN vendors offer hardware VSS Providers. Many are copy on write, and you shift that set of problems to the, albeit likey a bit more performant SAN, Some vendors use other stratagies. The vendor
I work for uses allocate on write, so it avoids the 3 IOs per write copy on write penalty while a snapshot is in place. This means you can snapshot frequently and keep many of them around without penalty shortening your RPO and RTO. They optionally
archive truncated logs allowing for "up to the minute" restore of older snapshots, not just the last one. They also provide a proprietery version of RAID 6, called RAID DP that outperforms RAID 1. Combine that with all the storage efficiency features
like dedupe of primary storage, thin provisioning, compression, etc., that can all be combined and it starts to get compelling as the size of your deployment increases. Although I might be a bit biased when it comes to SAN vendors, if your SAN is someone
other than NetApp I still encourage you to talk with your SAN vendor and see what features/functionality they offer that can help you address your backup needs for Exchange 2010. I think you'll find much to like; it really comes down to scale and a cost/benefit
analysis.
If you decide that hardware VSS providers are not you thing and want to stay with a software vss provider, I encorage you to talk to the usual backup software vendors as well. Many can integrate with DAS and/or SAN, and have their own software
VSS providers often including support for the Exchange 2010 replica writer. This at a minimum allows you to snapshot passive copies. Features like replication (to get the changed blocks to other storage or off site), tape support (to roll backups
off to tape potentially to store off site) and catalogs come to mind as very useful things to have.
I'd take a look around at what's available and see if any of the things offered meet your business needs at a price you can afford to pay. The WSB Plug-in is a bare bones sort of thing, and it only gets better from there.

Exchange Server 2010 OWA Error 405 StaticFileModule

I am running Exchange Server 2010
(Version 14.1 - Build 218.15) on Windows Server 2008 R2. This is a all-in-one-server roles installation. Everything is working fine except forms-based authentication. When enabled I get HTTP Error 405.0 "Method not allowed". The page
you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.

Exchange Server 2010 automatic reply once per day or once per week?

Hello,
can some tell me how often the automatic reply is send in Exchange Server 2010.
Is it once per day for each sender or once per week for each sender?
In the web some tell per week, some tell per day.
Is it possible to change the time shedule, so that each day a automatic reply is send?
Thanks,
Eduard

Hello,
after some googling and consolidating the different examples on the Internet I came up with this powershell script which is executed by the windows task scheduler once a day. The script first gathers all the mailboxes for which the out of office mechanism
is activated. Then it disables the autorepliers for these mailboxes, waits for 10 seconds (this seems to be necessary to let exchange do some housekeeping) and then reenables the autorepliers.
Warning: I have learned that this script resets the time interval of the autoreplier. Any ideas how to preserve the time settings?
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
$objUsers = get-mailbox | Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.AutoReplyState -eq "scheduled" }
$objUsers | %{ Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity $_.identity -AutoReplyState disabled}
Start-Sleep -s 10
$objUsers | %{ Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity $_.identity -AutoReplyState scheduled}
Remember to use -AutoReplyState scheduled instead of -AutoReplyState enabled to reenable. -AutoReplyState enable should only be used for permanent autorepliers and not for "out of office" messages.
Cheers,
Florian

Exchange server 2010

Hello everybody,
I created a domain named apex.local, afterwards i installed exchange server 2010 and i created users' mailboxes. Each user has its mail address made up of his name & apex.local (example:
[email protected]). But there is an issue i want to fix, i want to make a change so that
"[email protected]" becomes "[email protected]" without reinstalling exchange server 2010. How can i proceed to solve this problem??

Hi,
To change the primary address, we need to add it in the accepted domain and an email address policy.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124423(v=exchg.141).aspx
And I’d like to add that we need to add the host name autodiscover.apex.org in the certificate.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Exchange Server 2010 SP3 test environment - email flow to/from internet

Today I set up test environment for Exchange Server 2010 SP3 - domain controller running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Exchange Server 2010 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and client computer running Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 with Outlook Pro 2010 x64. These
machines are VMs on vSphere 5.0 cluster made of 4 esxi 5.0 hosts.
I have three years of experience in working with Exchange Server 2010 in my production environment but until recently I have not had enough resources to build a test environment. Does "testing" Exchange Server 2010 infrastructure have
a real life purpose considering the fact that only internal email flow is possible since authoritative SMTP accepted domain is not hosted anywhere thus not visible to outside world. This limited email flow combined with absence of possibility to test
ActiveSync, Outlook Anywhere, OWA from WAN, . . . really hurt and make Exchange Server rare technology that can not be tested completely before introducing something new into the production. Services that are not possible to test from the outside world are
useless and whole point of Exchange-like technologies is availability from anywhere and from whatever device.

I set up Internet Send Connector (by default this type of send connector uses DNS MX records to route email automatically). Having sent an email to my gmail account I did not receive it and in transport logs I saw that mx record was found successfully
but there is the following line:
2014-08-05T20:39:51.942Z,Internet Connector,08D17F000FE36010,1,,2a00:1450:4013:c01::1b:25,*,,"Failed to connect. Error Code: 10051, Error Message: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network 2a00:1450:4013:c01::1b:25"
I tried also to send an email to my production email address (we have Symantec Messaging Gateway which is used as a smart host (antispam,antimalware,content filter appliance)) but then error is:
2014-08-05T20:50:08.395Z,Internet Connector,08D17F000FE36019,1,,91.238.7.10:25,*,,"Failed to connect. Error Code: 10061, Error Message: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 91.238.7.10:25"
Telnet from test exchange to 91.238.7.10 on port 25 also is not working.

Exchange server 2010 can send email but can't receive email

Hi, I currently built up the exchange server 2010 within Windows 2008 server R2..I followed the youtube exchange server guide and now I am able to receive and send email within the account I created .. I can send email to hotmail or gmail account that I
have. But I can't receive the emails from those. And I have a free domain service from twbbs.org My FQDN is: al7283.twbbs.org . and I 've setup the MX records on this even though I don't know if they are correct configuration. I've open up
the ports that needed. I also created the MX records and A records within DNS server .. can anyone guide me and tell me what should I configure for this troublesome problem??

ON your receive connector check the security.
in console
1) server config
2) hub transport
3) receive connectors (Default <server name>) this should be listning on port 25
4) right click and properties
5) select permission group tab
6) Anonymous needs to be checked otherwise you will only receive email from servers that have a username/password on your email server.
7) Restart transport service and try again.
Your DNS config looks over complicated create a MX record 10 called Mail.al7283.twbbs.org
point to al7283.twbbs.org
You don't need mail.al7283.twbbs.org "A record" or a MX pointing to 122.116.90.148, it's the same as the other MX record if one is down they both will be.

Exchange Server 2010 usage monitoring

Dears
How we can monitor Exchange server 2010 usage like owa usage, mail sending, contact Adding and editing ...etc.
is exchange has tools to do that or i have to use system center if yes what version of system center is Enterprise or Standard?

Hi ,
Please check the below mentioned points
1.) For owa and rpc connections usage , you can make use of the mentioned script on below link.
http://mikepfeiffer.net/2011/04/determine-the-number-of-active-users-on-exchange-2010-client-access-servers-with-powershell/
2.)For tracing the total mails send and received by the individual users (i.e internal /external)you can make use of the below mentioned script

3.For contact adding and editing.I mean to track administrator related activities on exchange recipients ,You can make use of Exchange admin audit logging to track such kind of activities.But that will not tell you the count of total contacts that are in
exchange and it exposes only the changes which is done by administrator on the recipients available in exchange.

Below is the link which will help you to get the Admin audit report via emails in HTML format.

Email language wise forwarder in specific DL on Exchange Server 2010

Dear All,
Can we set email language wise forwarder in specific
DL on Exchange Server 2010.
Below is the scenario :
I have 4 users who sent mail to DL(DL-IT) in different languages like Dutch, German, English, now I want to set email forwarder on DL-IT like if someone send email in Dutch language then Dutch language
email should be forward to another DL (DL_DUTCH) and same for other language.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Pradip,
afaik there is no solution based on a DL object. While saying that, if you had to handle only organization internal senders you may try like that:
1. please set the language property for all your mailboxes ; I guess you can do that based on the OU / Location the user objects lives in.
2. now in Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2010 there will be a Header for the language like that
Content-Language: en-US
Accepted-Language: en-US
(the language, en-US in my example, at the RHS will Change if you changed the Languages property of that Mailbox.)
3. finally you can add Transport rules to forward based on the Content-Language or Accepted-Language
a. Setting in
mail flow -> rules -> create a new rule (choose no template) -> more Options -> add condition --> apply this rule if ... -> a message Header --> enter text (= Content-Language) & enter text patters "language", as en-US
plus (=add condition) the recipient is your DL
b. do the following : Redirect the message to --> your recipient
c. save that rule.
if you ran the get-transportrule cmdlet, it Looked like that:
(you better create it once for initial testing and afterwards you can Export / Change that rule and use new-transportrule to apply the other languages / recipients)
If that Content-Language Header is present on the message, that rule will work as you expected.
Please remember to add the language property to your Mailbox. if you ran
$mymailbox = get-mailbox
$mymailbox.language
it really Needs to have the value you expected on the RHS of your Header condition.

Martin
