Exchange Server 2010 SP1 DR Site Setup

I will need to setup a new CAS/MBX server in a DR site. WAN link can max to about 2MB/s speeds
Main site: 2CAS / 2MBX servers in Load Balanced CAS and MBX1 and MBX2 in DAG of 4 databases
DR Site: 1CAS / 1MBX but I will place this MBX server in Stretched DAG and have passive copies
DR SITE: I would create the 4 databases on the MBX server, but seeding will take 5 days since I have over 800GB for all 4 databases
If I have backups of my databases in the DR SITE from main site, can I copy them(EDB) and logs and then mount them? Then add them to main DAG group? or the only way it can be done is to set up new CAS/MBX servers on same LAN as main servers,
let them sync and travel the servers to DR site?
Also, is my WAN link poor in speed for this DR scenario?

Hi Sectorzero,
FYI Exchange2010 SP1 and SP2 is out of support. Please upgrade to SP3.
You can manually seed the database by copying the complete to the exact location in the destination server. Steps below
1.Run the below command on the current server to get the details
Get-MailboxDatabase | fl name, edbFilePath, logFilePrefix, logFolderPath
2. Dismount the database and copy the database folder and logs folder to the server in DR and to thee same directory of server in primary site.
3. Mount the database.
4. Add the databases using the below command
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity <DBNAME> -MailboxServer <DRSERVER> –SeedingPostponed
5.Check the content index state using the command below
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | fl name, contentindexstate, status
6. Resume/update the database copy.
Here is the reference
Resume-MailboxDatabaseCopy “DBName\DRServer“
7.If status failed you have to update by the below command and make both contentindexstate and status healthy
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy DBNAME\DRSERVER –databaseonly
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy DBNAME\DRSERVER –CatalogOnly

Upgrade directly from Exchange Server 2010 SP1 to Exchange Server 2010 SP3

Hi,
We have current setup with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 ( DAG & CAS Array with WNLB).
Can we upgrade directly from Exchange Server 2010 SP1 to
Exchange Server 2010 SP3 . ?
Thanks in Advanced.
Regards,Ali

Hi Ali,
Yes, you can. Please upgrade your Exchange 2010 SP1 server roles in the following order: Client Access, Hub Transport, Unified Messaging, Mailbox, Edge Transport. What's more, please note that when you install a Service Pack or update rollup on a server
that's a DAG member, several services will be stopped during the installation, including all Exchange services and the Windows Cluster service.
For more information, here is a helpful article for your reference.

DAG in exchange server 2010 across different sites

hello ;
I want to know the best way to implement DAG for exchange server 2010 across 2 sites in the same domain ,
I have 2 exchanger server in one site in DAG ,with 300 gb database size
but I want to implement exchange server 2010 in a new site within the same domain and this will be my 3rd exchange server and will be a member on my existing DAG in the head office
the new site is linked to my head office using ipvpn connection which is 6 mb , and ADC is there in the new site,
what is the best way to implement the new exchange server in the new site to join the existing DAG .
is there is any problem related to DAG in this scenario ?
what is the best way to implement this scenario ?
Thanks

Hi,
For each AD site, it is recommended to have at least there Exchange roles: CAS, HUB, and MBX roles.
Do you plan to have active users in this new site?
If there are active users in this new site, you can deploy a Three-Member DAG in two AD sites. However, it is recommended to deploy two DAGs in two AD sites and you should have at least two DAG members each AD site. This scenario, two witness servers in
separate site is necessary.
If the new site is only for DR purpose, you can install this new Exchange server and add it to DAG. After that, add database copy to this new server.
Besides that, here are two articles which may help you for your reference.

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

KB953804 for delegatesentitemsstyle in Outlook 2003 in combination with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 not working.

KB953804 Full title "Hotfix for An e-mail message does not appear in a user's mailbox if the e-mail message was sent on behalf of the user by a delegate in Outlook 2003."
We have this working for ok Outlook 2003 SP3 in combination with Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Now for mailboxes that are moved to our new Exchange 2010 environment the hotfix stopped working. The sent items get stuck in the outbox of the delegate instead
of moving to the user in whose name the mail was sent. It does not matter if the user mailbox is on 2003 or 2010 as long as the delegated user is on Exchange 2010 SP1 it fails. We use Outlook 2003 SP3 in online mode. Does anyone know how to fix this
or maybe someone knows an alternative way to move the mails to the sent items with Exchange2010 SP1.

Hi,
I'd like to know how did you set "send on behalf",from outlook give delegation permission or from Exchange Server give "send as" right?
Please try to use get-adpermission to verify if the user has "send as" right.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676368.aspx
Note: After you grant send as right, please try to restart Microsoft Information Store.

Mac performance with Exchange Server 2010 SP1

Hi All,
I have some issue with Mac OS X 10.7.2 performance with when setting up new email connection Microsoft Exchange Server.
1) Use Apple Mail to create a new EMAIL account for an Exchange Account using Auto discover. Note how long it takes. In my case, it takes almost two full minutes or more until it comes back and is fully set up (and starts synchronizing the server folders).
2) Now use Apple mail create a new EMAIL account MANUALLY -- just don't fill in the password... keep hitting Continue until it shows the POP setting. Select EXCHANGE and then fill in the appropriate details (mail.mydmain.com, check SSL enabled, etc.). Setting up an account this way takes only a few seconds.
3) Use Microsoft Outlook 2011 for mac to create new Email account for an Exchange using Auto discover. it takes few second to completed.
I can summarize that:
- Use Apple Mail to create a new EMAIL account for an Exchange Account using Auto discover: Slow
- Use Apple mail create a new EMAIL account MANUALLY: Normal
- Use Microsoft Outlook 2011 for mac to create new Email account for an Exchange using Auto discover: Normal
In any case, do you have any solution to fix this issue.

we are trying to configure Exchange Server 2010 SP1 DAG with TWO Servers, we are getting the error sector size on log file header was mismatch
1) Physical Server - when we check the sector size on log file - 512 bytes   (RAID5)
2) Virtual Server - when we check the sector size on log file - 4096 bytes
is there any workaround to solve this issue or do i need to re-install the physical server with 4096 sector size..
When i check the Volume details on both machine
1)
Bytes Per Sector :               512
Bytes Per Physical Sector :       <Not Supported>
Bytes Per Cluster :               4096
Bytes Per FileRecord Segment    : 1024
2)
Bytes Per Sector :               512

Hi Jared,
I've got a question regarding your answer.
We have an existing Exchange 2010 DAG configuration with 3 mailbox servers in NL and 3 in the UK.
2 for normal databases at each site and 1 for Archive databases at each site.
The current Mailbox servers for the Archive databases are Hyper V 2008 R2 based VM's with a passthrough for storing the databases.
We now want add 1 new Mailbox server for storing archive databases at each site and add them to the DAG.
Can we use Windows 2012 Hyper-V hosts and create the new VM's with 4k sectorsize vhdx files for the new mailbox servers ?
Regards

Hi,
It might be a permission issue.
1 :
Add Manage auditing and security log Properties
Administative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights
Assignment > Manage auditing and security
Add
Exchance Servers.
2. Check Exchange Trusted Subsystem
1)Open Active Directory Users and Computers
2)Under domain name (For example contoso.com),navigate to the Builtin Container,on
the right hand side select the Administrator group,goto the properties
3)Click members tab and add Exchange Trusted Subsystem
4)Click ok twice
5)Reboot the Exchange server
6)Rerun the Exchange setup

Exchange Server 2010 - Receive Connector for Client Computers

I have one customer with a SBS 2011 with Exchange Server 2010 - a pretty standard setup except for some customisation with Receive Connectors in order to cater for an application which is installed on a number of computers that requires to use an SMTP Server
to send notifications. In order to accomplish this (allow to be sent using Exchange Server) we added the IP Address of client computer (which we also set as a DHCP reservation) to a pre-configured Receive Connector (Anonymous setup for Printer/Scanner).
This worked fine, but we now find that there are other applications that require the same function to use SMTP to send.
How should/could this be better configured so an application can send if they authenticate?

Hi
For this you need to create a seperate receive connector to be used for Relay in your organizations.
Follow the below steps
1) Create a dedicated Relay Receive Connector
2) Add only the Ip addresses of the applications which needs to relay on Exchange servers
3) You can use either anonymous or authenticated relay according to your relay config
You can follow the below link as well

Exchange 2010 update after Update Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 (KB2407113)

Mine exchange server 2010 standard has Update Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 (KB2407113) as latest update.
Can someone help me which update i can install after this, can i start with
Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 SP1.
Many thanks in advance

My recommendation will be:
Remove update roll-up 5
Install SP1 check that everything is working
Install SP2 check that everything is working
Install SP3 check that everything is working
I think it will be risky for you to go straight to SP3.

Exchange server 2010 redundancy using static IPs in different sites

Dear All;
We are facing a problem in Exchange server 2010 which is that we need to provide redundancy for two different sites which contain the same exchange databases using DAG but the issue is that if the main exchange server fails, users from the internet will
not be able to access the server because the main static IP is in the main site ...
========================================
My question is how to provide redundancy using two Global IPs in two different sites, and is there any consequences of doing such a setup?
========================================

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. It is recommended to configure the IP Configuration for both the MAPI and Replication NIC on DAG nodes.
2. A site failure is managed differently from the types of failures that can cause a server or database failover. A site failure is considered to be a disaster recovery event, recovery should be manually performed and completed for the client service to
be restored and for the outage to end.
For more information, here is an article for your reference.
Switchovers and Failovers
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298067(v=exchg.141).aspx
Besides, what do you mean by "global IPs"?
Hope it helps.

Migrate from Exchange Server 2010 sp3 to 2013 sp1

I have one Exchange Server 2010 SP3 server (300 mailboxes) installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with three major roles on it (CAS, MB and HT) - typical installation. Edge Transport server is not installed thus for controlling of mail flow
Symantec Messaging Gateway Virtual Appliance is used as Smart Host. UM server is not installed either. I set up test domain environment where I installed one domain controller (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) and one Exchange Server 2010 SP3 (Windows
Server 2008 R2 SP1) at first place and yesterday I did everything necessary to install Exchange Server 2013 SP1 on new test virtual server running Windows Server 2012 R2 which I successfully did.
Now in test domain I have two Exchange Servers (2010 SP3 and 2013 SP1). Is there any 100% reliable documentation with all actions that had to be taken in order to successfully migrate Exchange Server 2010 SP3 to 2013 SP1? I would want to know what
needs to be done not only for my scenario but also for other scenarios (DAG, CAS array, Edge, UM, multiple HT servers . . .) since I am interested in digging deep into Exchange Server 2013.

Use Different mailbox or same mailbox if setup two accepted domains in one Exchange Server 2010

Hi,
I want to know if I setup two accepted domain in one Exchange Server 2010, will it have another mailbox or use same mailbox?

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, to add a new name in the accepted domain list is to add a SMTP address suffix for the mailboxes. Thus, it uses the same mailbox if you setup two accepted domain in one Exchange Server 2010.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

How do I setup Address Book to view shared contacts on Exchange Server 2010?

At work we have MS Exchange Server 2010. I recently switched from Entourage to native OSX Lion apps Mail, iCal and Address Book. Mail and iCal work fine so far with Exchange (IE. I can add delegates, see their calendars, etc.) but when using Address Book, I can only see my contacts. In Entourage I was able to search other user's contacts and copy them to mine if I desired. Is this not possible with Address Book?

Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.
