Microsoft Exchange Server Question

I work for a company that uses Microsoft Exchange Server. we do not have a Blackberry Exchange server. Our IT department head ordered new phones for the entire company, (not Blackberry), he told everyone that the Blackberry will not work with our email system, so he stuck us with a horrible phone (the HTC Touch Pro), what a piece of junk.... I took it upon myself to throw my phone in my desk and activate my new Blackberry, a Curve 8330, till tomorrow when I go and get my new Tour. I would love to be able to email my corporate office, and call my VP of sales and let them know that the Blackberry "will" work with MES. I have no problem with my pop account. The other point of contention from the IT guy is that The Blackberry "will not" sync the calendar events, and it will not sync tasks. My question to all of you is this....."will" the blackberry....a Curve or Tour sync with the MES, will it sync the Calendar and tasks. I understand the differences with using the BES, being Push email ect. I want to make sure I have my ducks in a row before I speak with them. If this is true I know a 50 managers that would love to get a Blackberry...

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
BB's with a BIS account will reconcile emails with an Exchange environment -- if that environment does not have ISA and does have internet-facing OWA. Configuration instructions for OWA are here:
KB03133 How to associate a Microsoft Outlook Web Access email account with a BlackBerry Internet Service account
Now, that said, the only thing that will work OTA is email. And it will not be a full sync as WM devices do. Rather, from the moment you activate it, you will begin to receive new emails on your BB...but the historical emails will not come to the BB. Also, no folders...none...true Inbox only.
For Calendar and Contacts, you must use desktop sync -- the BB software comes with a conduit to Outlook, which allows you to sync (via USB tether) the other items in Outlook. If you use this along with BIS/OWA, be very careful to NOT activate the desktop redirector...much pain of duplicated messages will occur...
Speaking of which, the Desktop Redirector is another method if OWA does not exist or ISA does. Leaving a desktop running and logged into Outlook (connected to the Exchange Server), this software can manage the communication of emails between the Outlook client and the BB.
Basically, I'd say that the blanket statements you are hearing are not accurate -- they aren't wrong, but they are incomplete. With BES, you'd get full OTA sync of Calendar, Contacts, Memos, etc. (btw -- the limitation about old emails would still apply, but folders would become available with BES). With OWA/BIS, you only get OTA email and must use other methods to sync other things.
With a WM device, they can fully integrate the device into the MS environment -- not really surprising since both are MS things. But, something to keep in mind. BIS/OWA will have less traffic to the BB. BIS resides on the carriers network, and would check OWA for changes that are needed on the HH...if no changes, no traffic to the HH. With WM devices, they check against OWA directly...which generates traffic to the HH even if there is nothing to do. May not matter, but that's a subtle difference especially for folks not on an unlimited data plan.
Good luck! Hope that helps!

Syncing ACT contacts while on automatic wireless syncing with Microsoft Exchange Server?

Does anyone know if this is possible? At the moment, my company is automatically performing a wireless sync between Outlook contacts and their Blackberry Curve 8330 devices. However, employees that travel also need their ACT contacts on their phone. I've researched CompanionLink and know that I can get the ACT contacts directly onto the Blackberry that way, but, the problem arises where the ACT contacts will end up syncing back to the Exchange server -- which we don't want. We want to keep the automatic syncing with Outlook, but periodically we want to do a one-way ACT transfer onto our Blackberries, without having those extra (approximately 5,000) contacts go back into Outlook. Is there an easy way to categorize/separate Outlook and ACT? Any ideas or workarounds?

I am trying to sync my Outlook 2007 with my palm Treo Pro but keep getting the same error - server could not be reached Error code
80072ee2. This is probably a basic question but the server you enter into the Microsoft Exchange settings in active sync is the mail server you have in Outlook 2007? eg mail.internode.on.net. I don't need to do anything to outlook 2007 to "activate" Microsoft Exchange.
I'm looking at the Internode setup guides and it looks as though you have a POP server. In that case, if you want to sync directly to the server, you would want to set it up for POP/SMTP rather than for Microsoft Exchange Server. Does that help?
If you do not want to sync over the air and instead want to sync only by USB/Bluetooth to your PC, I think that works quite differently. I don't have any experience with that.

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that failed to send message to recipient and rejected as a spam.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I want to double confirm whether all account or some special account contain this domain experience this question, how about internal and external mail flow?
If this issue only occur on some special recipient, it indicate that target domain may be configured to reject your message, I recommend to contact its administrator to change the setting.

Missing the "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate"

Hi Everyone,
I have a single Exchange box.
Was integrating my Lync and Exchange and noticed some issues after configuring my Lync pre-reqs: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj721919.aspx
Following the line of communication and event logs, I quickly saw that the error was not on my Lync Server, but on my Exchange. The "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" that is created during Ex2013 install was missing.
It was not there to give out tokens for the Server to Server authentication required to integrate Lync, Exchange, and Sharepoint.
Running Get-AuthConfig: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj215766(v=exchg.150).aspx
pointed to a thumbprint that did not exist anymore.
I confirmed this by checking the local cert store (local computer>personal>certificates), looking in the ECP (servers>certificates), and also running Get-ExchangeCertificate
In my Exchange Server event log, I found the following errors:

Googling has only produced one article that is about another issue that I would have found further down the line if I wasn't testing within the pre-reqs. The solution is the same, but the article is somewhat poorly written and does not respond to all
the comments enough to leave one feeling it's 100% correct.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jenstr/archive/2012/11/22/getting-internal-server-error-500-when-creating...
The broad strokes are clear:
The fix is to create a new "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" by using the following sequence of cmdlets In EMS on the MBX server:
1. New-ExchangeCertificate -KeySize 2048 -PrivateKeyExportable $true -SubjectName "cn= Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -FriendlyName "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -Services smtp
Do not accept to replace the SMTP certificate when prompted
2. Note the thumbprint of the new certificate. Let us assume it is 7A39541F8DF58D4821967DD8F899B27410F7C081
3. $a=get-date
4. Set-AuthConfig -NewCertificateThumbprint 7A39541F8DF58D4821967DD8F899B27410F7C081 –NewCertificateEffectiveDate $a
Accept to continue despite the fact that the certificate effective date is not 48 hours into the future
5. Set-AuthConfig –PublishCertificate
6. Make sure to remove any potential reference to the previous certificate (which might not exist anymore) by doing Set-AuthConfig -ClearPreviousCertificate.
Remember to do iisreset on both CAS and MBX servers. Then finally, you can try to re-issue the New-CsPartnerApplication cmdlet.
65 Million Dollar question:
Is the syntax in part 1 correct? Two people says to add the domain? Jens responds, but it's vague. What would the correct command look like? I do not know where to add the -DomainName within the command and which name I
should add? The FQDN of the CAS?
New-ExchangeCertificate -KeySize 2048 -PrivateKeyExportable $true -SubjectName "cn= Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -FriendlyName "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -DomainName server.domain.com -Services
smtp
Thank you everyone

Hi,
Yes, we need to specify a valid FQDN for either the Subject or the DomainName parameter. Please run the following command:
New-ExchangeCertificate -KeySize 2048 -PrivateKeyExportable $true -SubjectName "cn= Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -FriendlyName "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -DomainName server.domain.com -Services
smtp
Then following the other steps in your posting to re-create the Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate.

TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
Help please!

I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
In the meantime I have also tried:
Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
But please remember that:
The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
Then started working unexpectedly in December
Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

Microsoft Exchange server / OSX / Mail / entourage

Just a quick question about this, as a friend of my Dad's has been giving him grief because he doesn't ever receive receipts that emails have been received / opened / read etc.
As far as I know Apple Mail doesn't support Microsoft Exchange Server, but Entourage does - but is it as simple as my Dad using Entourage, or does it need to on a network using Microsoft Exchange Server?
And if so, does this mean that two, common or garden home PC users using Windows Mail or Outlook wouldn't get email receipts from each other either?

what would the situation be with two, bog standard home PCs using XP/Vista and Outlook Express/Windows Mail - would they generate and receive receipt notifications with each other?
Windows Mail and Outlook Express both support receipts (do a web search to find more information and instructions). But they will get receipts only if the receiving email client supports them, so the recipient must also be running one of those two applications or one of the other rare email applications that does. And receipts in Internet-standard email really doesn't mean much; it may return even if the email is selected, or, as is apparently the case with both Outlook Express and Windows Mail, the recipient can disallow sending back the receipt which if true rather defeats the purpose.
where does the Microsoft Exchange Server come into it, which was what I thought powered these?
It may or may not. Both Outlook Express and Windows Mail are standard email applications and work with any standard email server. If the ISP/company/organization is using Exchange and has it set up for POP and/or IMAP, you can use any email application with the server including OE or Windows Mail. But you don't get any of the features an Exchange Server provides: shared calendaring, "real" delivery/read receipts (ones the user can't disallow), etc. For those you must use Outlook.

With Microsoft exchange server, leave messages UNREAD even if read on blackberry?

We are having issues that seems complicated but I'm sure there's a solution..
Sometime while at a restaurant or waiting for a light, I get a message on the blackberry but I can't fix the problem right a way or it can wait until I'm back at the office to be fixed, now when I get back to the office, I open Microsoft outlook 2003, (running off Microsoft exchange server) the message downloads into my inbox, but tagged as read.
Here is my question:
If I read a message on my blackberry, how do I leave the message unread on the exchange server? I have the MIKE (Telus) or Nextel if you prefer 8350i but I also have 9 other blackberry curve 8330 with the same problem.
Is there a way , an option leave unread on the server until downloaded to INBOX?
Any help would be appreciated.

How to clone Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 configurations from one server to another server?

Hi! I need help of cloning Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 configurations from my first Server to the second Server. By doing this, the second Server will replace and run as per normal as the first Server is. How can this be done?
Thanks!

Cloning an Exchange Server is a very bad idea. Exchange is very heavily intergrated into Active Directory and this can (and honestly not to sound scary probably will) cause major issues in your environment.
Also, since you cannot have 2 servers with the same name in the same domain/network running at the same time you'll need to change the name of one of the servers. That is a huge no-no with Exchange and requires a complete uninstall/reinstall of the
product.
Now requirements differ between environments, but if you are in a scenario where you want to move from 1 Exchange 2013 (or 2010 for that matter) Server to another machine running the same version of Exchange AND (this is a big requirement for the failover
cluster piece) the Operating Systems of the machines are the same (i.e going 2012r1 to 2012r1 or 2012r2 to 2012r2 and not 2012r1 to 2012r2) you can do what Brenle suggested with the DAG and DB copies. If the Operating System of the new machine is different
(2012r1 to 2012r2) then you will will not be able to use a DAG, and will need to perform mailbox moves to move between servers.

Paul,
I hope you are right, but I fear you are not.
I was told by my att guy that if I wanted to access my Exchange Server that I would have to pay the extra $15/mo. When I questioned him, he told that the only difference between the standard and the Enterprise accounts was the Exchange Server option.
Again, it would be really nice if that turns out not to be the case, because I will probably just stick with the standard service rather than pay the additional $15 just for Push.
I'm sorry to say this, but he is wrong.
All of our hand held users at out office have phones that are paid for on their own account. We do not utilize business accounts. They are able to get ActiveSync just fine.
Even from AT&T's own main page on individual accounts [here|http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/legal/plan-terms.jsp] they do not make any statement that you must have a business account to access exchange. AT&T does not make this requirement for any of their Windows Mobile phones with ActiveSync. None. Why would this be different with the iPhone?
I am sorry to tell you that if enterprise mail was not included on individual accounts, than why do their terms or usage talk about it. If corporate access to email was prerequisite by a business account, than why do their personal account pages mention corporate email access. Their Business page only applies to partnerships that AT&T has with various business. For proof I went to their page and entered in my email address. Sure enough, I [failed|http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/auth_fail.jsp]. This was why:
Your company or school web site address was not found in our records. Check with your Telecom or Benefits Administrator to see if your company or school is a current AT&T business customer.
We don't have a partnership with AT&T. I know this already. Yet at the same time I know several people in out organization that use ActiveSync and have AT&T personal account - I know that for a fact since I spoke with them about it. They have no restrictions. By your assertion, since we are not a business customer, several employees should not be accessing Exchange. They are.

Emails for Current Day are not sync with Microsoft Exchange server

I have bought a Z1 and configured my microsoft exchange server email on it. All is working well. However it is only showing emails till yesterday. I have tried all sync settings including automatic, all, one day and all others but still it is not showing emails for current day. I have also tried all sort options but still no improvement.
The same setting are working perfectly fine on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. What is the issue and how to fix it? Please make sure i have purchased a new phone and would use the stock email app and no third party email app.
Already there is a downgrade in Z1 stock email app. It is not supporting formatted signatures and formatted outgoing emails. Which is now very common on all phones of its price and class.
What is Sony doing on its phones? i do not understand.
Please let me know how to fix my issue of most recent emails sync.

Can I get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server

Hi all,
I was trying to get more than one account on iphone microsoft exchange server for mail, but it seems to only accept one. Is this true with everyone else out there. I guess I am one of the few people with more than one email account that uses microsoft exchange. I would love to have the convience of accessing them through iphone mail but it seems that I will be forced to use safari for the other two by typing owa... in the url.
any workaround to the one email account per iphone policy??

Yu can only have one Exchange Server account per device. This is true to iPhone and any Windows mobile device in the market. The work around is to set your other accounts that reside on an Exchange server using IMAP or POP settings as you used to do before the Version 2 update allowed you to sync directly to the Exchange Server. This methode will allow you to add as many accounts as you want or have.

Cannot connect to an Exchange account in Outlook 2013 using "Microsoft Exchange Server or Compatible Service"

Dear All,
I cannot connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 using "Microsoft Exchange Server or Compatible Service".
First I would like to present my network environment, I have 4 physical servers;
The first one is holding the Domain Controller 1, IP@: 192.168.1.10
The second server is holding the additional Domain Controller which it is DC2, IP@: 192.168.1.11
The third server is holding the Exchange 2013 Mailbox, IP@: 192.168.1.15
And the last server is holding the Exchange 2013 CAS-HT, IP@: 192.168.1.16
I am doing the steps below:
1-Creating a new profile in outlook and start configuring the exchange account by entering the IP address of the Exchange-CAS Server, 192.168.1.16
2-entering the account name: [email protected]
3-Go to "More Settings" > "Connection" > "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" > and entering the "Exchange Proxy Settings"
4-type the exchange CAS Server URL, https://192.168.1.16
5-Check the "Connect using SSL Only"
6-Authentication Settings: "NTLM Authentication", and pressing Apply
7-When I press the "Check Name" button, a message occurred> "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action".
8-I go back to the "Exchange Proxy Settings" and I Uncheck the "Connect using SSL Only" and pressing Apply
9-i press the "Check Name" Button, a small window occurred to enter a Username and Password, so I enter the Administrator username and the administrator password and pressing "OK", but nothing is changed, I tried to enter my
username and password in the small window and I still got the same result.
I cannot verify the account name and I cannot complete the process.
I appreciate you kind assistance.

Hi,
To narrow down the cause, I’d like to recommend the following troubleshooting:
1. Try to login the test account through OWA.
2. Check the Autodiscover settings: get-clientaccessserver |fl autodiscoverserviceinternaluri
3. Check the result of directly accessing the following URL:
https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Windows 8 Compatibility

Is there a fix or workaround for accessing email via Outlook 2013 (Windows 8) when your company uses Microsoft exchange server 2003 and has not plans on upgrading it any time soon. I am a remote employee so I am the only one that has this problem in the
company. I can access email through an owa account but it's a pain. I tried to set up a rule to have all incoming mail forwarded to my gmail account in Outlook 2013, but that did not work. Any other ideas?

If server has enabled ActiveSync you can use Windows 8 Mail Client - works almost like Outlook.
AFAIR Outlook 2013 can't work with Exchange 2003.
