Logs Single Mailbox Database

Hi,
I have a a DAG with 4 MBD, and all look ok however one specific MDB003 is churning out lots and lots of logs, 20GB compared to 0.5GB on all other MDB and mailboxes are shared. How do I best pin point the exact issue as to why this single MDB is creating
so many logs, could it be a single mailbox? Trying to find out where to start!
Thanks!

Hi,
Please run the following command to check Users Outbox for any large, looping, or stranded messages that might be affecting overall Log Growth.
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -folderscope Outbox | Sort-Object Foldersize -Descending | select-object identity,name,foldertype,itemsinfolder,@{Name="FolderSize
MB";expression={$_.folderSize.toMB()}}
And you can also use the command below to check result, as what Andy suggested above.
Get-Mailbox | Get-StoreUsageStatistics | sort-object logrecordbytes | select Displayname,LogRecordBytes

Best practice for default location of mailbox database(s) / logs

Hello,
I don't recall seeing any options during the Exchange 2013 install, to specify an alternate location for either the mailbox database or log files. I've reviewed the commands for moving the mailbox databases, but before reviewing the options for setting a
location for the log files, I thought it best to see whether it's still advised to separate log/mailbox databases away from the OS, with our Exchange server being a virtualised instance?
Also, I'm assuming that Exchange still requires the usual backup of transaction logs, for them to be cleared?
Many thanks.

Hi JH,
here is a link to storage options and requirements for the Mailbox server :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee832792(v=exchg.150).aspx
By default when installing New Exchange server With mailbox role,it will create default database and log path.
Recomended is to have Database and Log files on seperate disks.You will have to attache those disk first,then you can create New database using ECP.
Please look at my Gallery With full guide on how to setup New Exchange server.
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Install-Exchange-server-b5cce9e4
Also for future use you might need to clean up log files to free up Space on Your Exchange server:

Hope this helps

Maximum number of user mailboxes supported by single Exchange Database in 2007 / 2010 & 2013 ?

What is the Maximum number of user mailboxes supported by single Exchange Database in 2007 / 2010 & 2013 ?
Aditya Mediratta

Agree with Keith, there is no MB # limit, however there are practical concerns such as DB size and how that effects recoverability as well as performance. In terms of extremes we had one major educational customer that had 35K Mailboxes in
a single database so you can utilize a ridiculous # of mailboxes in a DB if desired. IMO you are better off to keep the # of mailboxes to a reasonable level, i.e. no more than 250-500 mailboxes per DB
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

Replay transaction logs to a new empty mailbox database

My Exchange 2010 mailbox database got corrupted and do not really have a good backup to recover from and it is not a DAG too.
Using eseutil log files are good but if I do soft recovery, it complains of a missing log file. Going through the log files it is just one file that is missing and even checking the creation date for this file at that time the server was offline because
we were relocating.
Soft recovery has not been successful.
I want to try hard recovery but do not know how much data will be lost. Or better still is there a way to replay log files of the corrupted database into the new database and continue from there?

Without having a good backup, you can not ensure about the security of data that would be recovered.
If you have an old backup of the database and all transaction log files since that backup then you can restore everything up to the last transaction log file.
If you want to do it in the RSG then you can copy all transaction log files from the production storage group to the log file directory of the RSG, then restore you last backup and let the backup program mount the database. Exchange will automatically replay
the log files in the RSG directory and the files on the tape. Please follow this Library : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998370(EXCHG.65).aspx
If you still unable to recover the data manually, you may consider on this automated software (http://www.exchangeserverrecovery.com/) that might be helpful to recover the data without any losses and resolve
your purpose.

We have a Exchange 2013 server and the Mailbox Database folder is filling up with .log files.

We are migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. We have installed the Exchange 2013 but it only has a couple of mailboxes on this server, all the mailboxes are still on the Exchange 2010 server.
I have run a Windows Backup of the Exchange 2013 but I am still seeing a ton a log files in the mailbox folder.
Also the database file is only about 1.1 GB but the backup is now 40 GB.
Is there something that can be done to truncate these logs and make the backup smaller?

Hi ,
1.Does the full backup completed successfully ?
2.what about the status for the below mentioned command ? Does the mailbox database headers updated with the latest time and date ?
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,*full* -au
3.Just check the application event logs for the event id
2046 and that should state that the log truncation for the mailbox databases has been initiated or not.
4.Before initiating the backup just make the exchange writer is not on error.
vssadmin list writers
In case if it on error state ,please restart the Microsoft exchange replication service and check the exchange writers status again by using the above mentioned command.

Litigation Hold, Single Item Recovery, & Mailbox Database Deleted Items Retention

Hello
I'm looking for a simple explanation of how the three features mentioned in the subject line interact and affect one another.
Specifically, I'm after the answer to the following question:
If a users mailbox has litigation hold enabled, and the mailbox database it lives on has a deleted items retention value of 365 days, does that users "Recoverable Items" get deleted after 365 days, or does litigation hold, as I supspect bypass the retention
value?
If Single Item Recovery is enabled for said user as well, and added to the scenario above - how does this affect the retention of the deleted items?
I cannot find a definitive article that describes mailbox database deleted items retention, litigation hold and single item recovery and their behaviours when used together.
Regards
Matt

Hello again,
Just wanted to open this thread up again, and gain some further clarification, specifically on the behaviour of items in "Recoverable Items\ Deletions" folder.
In the following scenario how will items be processed:
-SingleItemRecoveryEnabled -True
-LitigationHoldEnabled - True
-UseDatabaseRetentionDefaults -True
-Items in the Deletions folder have passed the retention value date as specified on the database.
Given the parameters above, when the I run the Managed Folder Assistant against a mailbox, I'm expecting to see the items in the Deletions folder move, and be placed in Purges folder.
This is not happening however, items are only removed from the Deletions folder when LitigationHold is disabled. Then, items bypass the Purges folder altogether and are removed from the mailbox/database altogether.
I referred to the article below for clarification:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/09/25/3408389.aspx#_Short-Term_Preservation_of
"...the message was not purged from the mailbox store. Instead the message was moved from the Recoverable
Items\Deletions folder to the Recoverable Items\Purges folder. All store hard-deleted items end up in this folder when single item recovery is enabled. The Recoverable Items\Purges folder is not visible to the end user, meaning that they do not see data retained
in this folder in the Recover Deleted Items tool.
When the message deletion timestamp has exceeded the deleted item retention window, Records Management will purge the item."
Can anyone assist in explaining the behaviour I'm observing?
I'm in a transition period where by our organisation has been journalling all
email to an Online service since 2008 and this service will continue to be used solely as our archiving and compliance mechanism.
Since Exchange 2010 was adopted by the company around 18 months ago, the previous mail administrator had litigation hold enabled on all mailboxes
from the outset, so I'm in the position now where by I have two retention methods running side by side.
Long story short, the online archiving will be used moving forward and litigation hold will be disabled within Exchange.
What I want to do is transition from long term data
preservation inside Exchange, to short term preservation - hence the reason for now enabling SIR.
Currently I have mailboxes with 10's of GB's of mail sat in the "Recoverable Items\Deletions" folder, and very little, if anything in some
cases, in the respective "Purges" folder.....
Can anyone advise on a "correct" procedure for making this transition?
Regards

What is the Exchange 2010 maximum mailbox database size that is support by MS in a single DAG environment?

My Exchange setup:
Exchange 2010 Enterprise
2 mailbox servers
2 CAS, 2 HT
12 mailbox databases. The total of all databases combine is about 2TB. The largest mailbox databases are 530GB, 250GB, and 196GB. Are this over the supported recommendations?
bl

2TB, look at the second article but best practice 200GB or less

Providing administrator(s) full mailbox access to all mailboxes (database) not working

I'm setting up a new Exchange 2013 org. Everything is pretty fresh, only a few mailboxes have been added for testing.
I've added this permission, to provide full access to all the mailboxes in the database:
Get-MailboxDatabase -identity “Mailbox Database” | Add-ADPermission -user netadmin -AccessRights GenericAll -ExtendedRights Receive-As, Send-As
I've verified the permission in ADSI Edit.
I have verified the permission in the recipient's mailbox delegation properties.
However, while logged into OWA using the admin account, if I try to open another user's mailbox from OWA, I just get a sad face that says "Something went wrong :( " .
Any ideas? I've tried resetting the owa virtual directory...reset IIS, rebooted several times, no luck.
Thanks

Hi
Is that ok when you set to single mailbox?
If ok, please try
Get-Mailbox -database “Mailbox Database” | Add-ADPermission -user netadmin -AccessRights GenericAll -ExtendedRights Receive-As, Send-As
Cheers

Please see the original post, I've already tried "Get-MailboxDatabase -identity “Mailbox Database” | Add-ADPermission
-user netadmin -AccessRights GenericAll -ExtendedRights Receive-As, Send-As"
If I add the permission individually through ECP, it works just fine. What I'm trying to accomplish is full mailbox access to all mailboxes in the database now and in the future
(something that works just fine in Exchange 2010,) however in 2013 it is not working. I tried doing it via a security group instead, same result.

Mailbox Database Content Index Failed and Suspended

Hello,
     I am having an issue with a Mailbox Database. The content index shows FailedAndSuspended. there are no Bad Copy Counts and it shows as Mounted. I have no DAG so this is a single database and followed the article
here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee633475(v=exchg.150).aspx
After it crawled for a little while it went to Failed, then unknown, then crawling, and has finally ended up at FailedAndSuspended again. I am also popping errors as follows:
MSExchangeFastSearch Event ID 1004
MSExchangeIS Event ID 1012
MSExchange ADAccess Event ID 4020
MSExchangeRepl Event ID 4087 (Though this is weird as it is a stand alone database why would it try to replicate it?)
MSExchange Common Event ID 4999
The following Warnings are hitting at the same time:
MSExchangeFastSearch Event ID 1006, 1009, 1010
MSExchange Mid-Tier Storage Event ID 6002, 10010
Anyone have any thoughts on a fix for this?

Ok I did a Set-MailboxDatabase "Mailbox Database #" -IndexEnabled $false, then stopped both the MS Exchange Search and MS Exchange Search Host Controllers. Started them again and it showed disabled when I did a get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus. I then went
Set-MailboxDatabase "Mailbox Database #" -IndexEnabled $true. After about 10 minutes got a FailedAndSuspended Status. So here are the logs from event viewer.

Using Recovery Storage Group to recover a single mailbox in Exchange 2007 CCR

Hi, there:
Our Environment: Exchange 2007(SP3) CCR
Now we got a task to recover a mailbox which is still on Exchange 2007 now(but it is suspected the owner deleted many emails before he left and these deleted items is NOT recoveralble through dumpster). They want to recover this mailbox to a point
of time where they believe these email items is not deleted at that time.
By reserach below is the steps which can be porformed:
1): Create a RSG and a mailbox database which is linked to the original mailbox database which host the single mailbox that we want to recover.
2): restore the mailbox database backup to this mailbox DB under the RSG.
3): Merge the recovered single mailbox to the existed one.
My question is:
When I create the RSG and the mailbox DB under this RSG using the tool on EMC, can I specify the path of "System folder path" and "mailbox DB file path" on drive other than C:, the C: drive on Exchange CCR active node does
NOT have enough disk space so it has to be created somewhere othan than C: drive?

Hi, Andy:
Thans for your post.
I have a look at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997694(v=exchg.80).aspx.
One thing I have question is when you use cmdlet to create a RSG:
new-storagegroup -Server <Server_Name> -LogFolderPath <path_to_Logfiles> -Name <RSG_Name> -SystemFolderPath <Database_Path> -Recovery.
What should be the <server_name>?
we use CCR, if I want to use this cmdlet to create a recovery storage group on current active node of CCR, do I need to enter the actual name for this active node, or I juts need to enter the cluster name?

Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service was unable to process jobs in a mailbox database 1006.

HI all,
I ran into a problem with one of the servers in my DAG. Due to a backup failure, the log partition filled up and the Exchange database went offline on this particular server. The DAG continued to function on the other server. So this particular
DB01 had only some test accounts in it so I removed the database copy. Unfortunately the removal must not have completed correctly.
After recovering the needed space in the partition, I tried to recopy the database and it failed. So I deleted the entire database from the active server and it successfully removed it from the active server. Now on both the servers the database
is not showing, however I'm receiving the error below which indicates to me that the service still thinks the database exists. I am also getting event 4113 Database redundancy health check failed for the database copy as it shows there is only one copy
of the database (failed redundancy) but there should be zero copies.
This database no longer exists in AD as I have verified this with ADSI so it must have something on the exchange server that is still telling the service the database exists.
Can you point me to the location to clean this up?

Hi
This error occurs because the MailboxReplicationService (MRS) currently caches Mailbox Database information past the lifetime of some databases.
Restarting the service will clear the cache.
Maybe it is the simplest way to solve it.
If it doesn’t work, you can try cmd to check it.
Get-MailboxDatabase : Can you find the database which you delete?
Remove-MailboxDatabase -Identity "MyDatabase": You can try to delete database if you can see the database.

Healthy copy of mailbox Database in DAG acting as a seeding source for another Healthy copy Database in DAG

Overview of the architecture
We have Site (Primary & DR)
2 Database copies in primary site and 1 Database on the DR site (Primary site 2 copies one mounted and second healthy & on the DR site one healthy copy of Database)
Recently Due to Network Problem the DR copy got in to the easyncronous state and was removed from the DAG.
As company does not want the downtime we have followed the below steps to Restore Database at DR site.
1)Stopped the backup to Not trucate the log file
2)Took Full backup and in the restore mode we shipped the full backup to the DR site.
3)As the above process needs 2 days, manually copied the some Logs to the DR site (IN some drive as much possible to reduce seed time)
4)Added the mailbox database of the DR site back in the DAG as its seeds from the start, we manually suspend the process post the Database folder hierrachy gets created
5)Added the EDB and logs files in the recently created folders
6)Resumed the Database seed, so only the remaining logs were copied and seeded from primary site to DR site, In some hours DR site databse became healhty with no copy queue and replay queue.
7)trucated the logs which synced using DAG
Now Dag has copies as initial setup but the since we followed the above process the primary site healthy copy is acting as the seed-source and logs not truncating for the database
When restarts the Replication services on the Primary site server with healthy the state becomes healthy but again after some time it becomes seed- source.
Wanted to know when DR site copy is in healthy state why its acting as a seed-source continueously
Need Experts advice in manage Database copies in healthy state...
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Based on your description, sometimes the content index state of passive database copy in primary site is healthy, but sometimes the state is crawling.
You can use the following command to reseed the catalog only to check result.
Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity Database -SourceServer EX -CatalogOnly

Mailbox database size before & after backup

Hi there
i recently made a similar thread and someone told me that i should do it here so here is my issue :
i've been assigned to do a specific report related to exchange and its backup
so what we want is a report that would give us the global size of all our mailbox databases before and after the backup ( even the size of the logs before and after)
(example : we have a mailbox database X: , we need to go inside the data folder, and retrieve the size of the .edb
then do the same thing with the logs, go inside the logs folder, and retrieve the logs size )
i was wondering if anyone ever managed to pull a script that does similar things, given the fact that i ve never worked with powershell and my knowledge is kinda limited in that area
Thanks

Hi Amassuo,
for finished scripts that do things, check out the
gallery. If you want to learn powershell (I might be biased, but I highly recommend it), check out the
learning center.
Regarding your specific issue, you can check the free space on a specific disk by running this powershell command:
Get-WmiObject win32_logicaldisk -Filter "DeviceID = 'C:'" | Select -ExpandProperty FreeSpace
Comparing before/after will get you the space differential (adapt drive letter in filter as needed).
Cheers and good luck with your script,
Fred

Exchange 11g connector : error with 2003 mailbox databases

Hi,
I have installed the Exchange 11g connector in a OIM 11g R2 server. I successfully ran the "Exchange User Mailbox Database Group Lookup Reconciliation" job and recon-ed a mailbox for a specific user (Exchange 2010 mailbox) account using the "Exchange Target Resource User Reconciliation".
But the fun stops there, when I try the execute the "Exchange Target Resource Delete User Reconciliation" job, I get the following error (see #1) in the result. I don't have any new event in the Event viewer. When I check the connector server I see a similar error (see #2). I tried to manually run the powershell command with the connector server user and it works properly (see #3).
The problem seems to be related the Exchange 2003 mailboxes, since when I try to recon a mailbox for a user with a 2003 mailbox, I get a similar "database not found" error. There again, if I check the same user using the service account, I can get it's mailbox.
Any idea what might be the problem ? Any more debugging I can try ?
Thanks

Dedicated Archive mailbox databases generate excessive whitespace

Our company has several mailbox databases that are dedicated to arhive mailboxes. I just joined the company a month ago and found one database that was about 500 GB with about 300 GB of whitespace! So, I created a new DB and moved all the archive
mailboxes, and removed the original DB. at the time there was minimal whitespace. Today, the DB is in much the same condition. what makes this so odd is that there are less that 30 mailboxes on database! Further, it seems
as though these DBs are also generating way too many transaction logs and causing management to become concerned about drive space and DBs dismounting. Bottom line: how can I determine what is causing the excess whitespace to be generated?

Hi,
I recommend you refer to the following article :
Exchange 2010 whitespace reclamation
In addition, as Ed mentioned, you can monitor the available new mailbox space with the following command:
get-mailboxdatabase -status | ft Name, AvailableNewMailboxSpace
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
