Monitoring Exchange 2010 from external network

I would like to monitoring the following services pf Exchange 2010 from external network / internet
1) SMTP (To confirm the mail has been accepted for delivery)
2) ActiveSynch (Mobile device can login and synch different folders)
3) WebApp (Users can log and access mail)
I have created a script using test-Mailflow, test-activesynchconnectivity and Test-WebServicesConnectivity and running it on server from LAN. I want to monitor the above 3 areas from Internet(external network) to make sure these services are available
from Internet.
We have Barracuda as SMTP gateway, TMG for WebApp and MobileIron for ActiveSynch.
Will i be able to monitor these services from external network(internet) using test commands. What are the alternate ways to monitor the above services from external network.
Thanks

We are trying to build exactly similar to ExRCA. ExRCA is good but it is manual. We would like to build something similar to ExRCA which can monitor exchange services periodically and send alerts.

SCOM 2007 to monitor Exchange 2010 Backups

Hi
Is there any way of getting SCOM 2007 to monitor Exchange 2010 backups. I'm using Commvault as the backup solution, was wondering if there's anything i can check for to ensure successful or failed bakcups

Hi
DPM will write its own events. You can create your own management pack for SCOM to monitor the events on the Exchange server but SCOM has an exchange management pack you can install.

Some attachment buttons not working from external networks

Hi guys,
We have an eSourcing system that we access internally from server.internal.com . We also make this eSourcing system available to external vendors through www.external.com .
The external access is done using a Citrix AGEE system (reverse proxy, etc.). As part of this, the AGEE has the ability to change the hostname in the URL so the real server is hidden from external vendors. For example, when eSourcing generates a webpage, the AGEE searches through and replaces all http://server.internal.com references to http://www.external.com , and vice-versa for incoming calls.
This works for about 95% of the content, but there are a fer places where the links are not re-written correctly. One example is the File Attachment buttons when replying to a question. However, other file attachment buttons work correctly.
1. Does anyone else have a similar situation, using a Citrix or other product for external vendors?
2. Does anyone have a similar problem where certain links/buttons are not working from external networks?
3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?
4. Are there any settings that are specific to external access that may need to be set?
Thanks guys for any help/insight.
Michael.

SAP has re-written some of their code to help rectify the problem. We have also been working with Citrix to provide additional fixes. If anyone else has these problems, apply the latest patch of eSourcing and contact Citrix support to get the AGEE changes needed to make it work.

Exchange 2010 .Disable external access for Autodiscovery and RPC

Hi Team,
Once i publish my Owa page in exchange 2010 .Automatically i was able to access.
https://domainname.com/autodicovery
https://domainname.com/rpc
https://domainname.com/owa/oma
I need to block access from external world to these websites.Pls help

Hi,
Before we go further, I'd like to confirm if you want to block external Outlook access. If yes, we can disable Outlook Anywhere since external Outlook access use Outlook Anywhere to connect to server.
Additionally, there are three methods for external Outlook users to connect to Autodiscover service. If we don't add public A record and SRV record, Autodiscover cannot work.
And we can separate web sites for internal access and external access and don't add Autodiscover and RPC virtual directories in the external access web site. and here is an article about OWA virtual directory, and you can refer to the article for Autodiscover
and RPC:

How to take Auto backup from External Network Drive to Mac pro internal Dri

Hi,
I have a External Network Drive (Buffalo 1TB) which i use as a server, now i need to take auto backup from that external drive to the Mac i am working on, which has 2TB Internal hard Disk.
Please could anyone help me on this.....
Thanks in advance

If you are looking to actually integrate what you have on the external one terabyte hard drive with the 2 TB hard drive you're using inside the Mac the best move for you if you want access to that data when using the Mac Pro server is going into utilities click on the top bar where it says go fall that down to the utilities told them that folder quickly once you are there you will see migration assistant click on that you will be asked to type your admin password to that. It will ask you "how do you want to transfer your information" then select from a Time machine backup or other disk when it asks you will be transferring information to your Mac Pro from your 1 Tb backup external hard drive once it's finished eject the drive or reformat it and use it again if your objective was to infect keep compress the data on the external so you have more space but do not have access to it I strongly recommend Carbon Copy Clone 3.3.1 is 100% free and does a fantastic job here is the link http://www.pure-mac.com/downloads/carboncopyclonerdl.html of copying every block to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. If you want something different and don't mind paying SuperDuper! is a great product as well this WebSite will have many options I would stick to carbon copy clone http://www.pure-mac.com/backup.html I also like EMC Retrospect backup and recovery software for the Mac it is a great product but very much on the expensive side for backup utilities although if you need word offers this might be right up your alley.
I hope I wasn't help,
Sincerely,
Thomas

All websites down after uninstalling Exchange 2010 from Web Server

Hello,
I successfully uninstalled Exchange 2010 (Client Access Role) from a webserver that hosts a company website and some other web apps, as a last step on a migration to 2013. But after that, some application pools were not started automatically, resulting on a
503 error even after starting the app pools manually.
I was getting IIS event Id 5139.
Fortunately it is a hyper-v server so I applied a snapshot I created prior to uninstalling exchange and got it working again. I need to know what happened before doing it again.
I would like to know about similar scenarios and how did you fix it.
thanks in advance.

Hi RCKSTR,
Are you running website in Exchange? If yes it is not a recommended way of working. Exchange is supposed to a standalone.
Websites will not run if IIS uninstalled.
Ensure IIS is installed and your website settings remains the same.
Thanks, MAS

Update Exchange 2010 from 14.1.218.15 to SP2

HI All,
We are using Exchange server 2010, it is recently deployed in the production environment, I want to know what is the process to apply patches and SP update on exchange server.
As we are running exchange 2010 SP1 14.1.218.15 and should I apply SP 2 diretly on it or I have to apply from
Update Rollup 1 to Update Rollup 7-v3 for Exchange Server 2010 SP1
first and then apply SP2,
Your suggestions are required.
Regards
Sameer

As lynn said you don't need to apply RU's as you can directly install the latest service pack.
Please note that Support for SP1 & SP2 (Exchange 2010) is ended and hence i recommend you to upgrade to SP3.
You should upgrade your Exchange 2010 server roles in the following order:
Client Access
Hub Transport
Unified Messaging
Mailbox
Edge Transport
Also, while patching CAS Servers, Internet Facing CAS Servers should have to be patched first. In case if you have CAS Servers in CAS Array then you will have to remove the CAS Server from the array while patching and should add CAS Server back to CAS Array
after patching/reboot.
For more information about patching/upgrading exchange you can refer: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/bb629560(v=exchg.141).aspx

Upgrade Exchange 2010 from SP2 to SP3 RU4

Hi All,
We are planning to upgarde Exchange 2010 SP2 servers with stretched dag across 2 AD sites to SP3 RU4.
I have few questions.
1. We are planning to Upgrade HUB/CAS servers in both the sites in first week.
2. Then we are planning to upgrade mailbox servers in the next week in both sites.
3.
Do you think this is a good approach. Can some one please share best pratices document as we are using F5 load balancing.

Hi,
Vishwanath's suggestions are pretty helpful. Besides that, we should make sure that the update process should be managed to prevent all of the DAG members from being offline at the same time.
Here is an article about how to install Update Rollups on Database Availability Group Members for your reference.

WRT160Nv2 Cannot be pinged from external network

Hi,
My WRT160Nv2 can not be pinged from an external network. How do I configure the WRT160Nv2 reply to the ICMP requests from the external interface?
Gerwin

Login to your router setup page and click on the Security tab and below uncheck "Filter Anonymous Internet request" and click on Save Settings. Now try to ping from your external network and check if you are getting any response or not.

Removing Exchange 2010 from AD

Hi
We have moved all our mail into Office 365 Exchange. We still need to run AD locally and will keep the DC's I need to shutdown the Exchange server, however if I do I need to understand how this may effect the Active Directory in the respect of setting
up users etc. I guess I am guessing that AD will complain that it can not find the Exchange Server when we add or remove users fro the AD?
Kind regards

Hi,
As far as I know, after upgrading to on-premise Exchange server and working well for a period of time in coexistence, we can remove the legacy Exchange server.
The Exchange users in AD still have mailbox since we move mailboxes to new server. In this case, it doesn’t have any difference through AD.
For more information about removing Exchange 2010, you can refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332361(v=exchg.141).aspx
However, since the issue is related to Exchange online, I recommend you ask for help on our Exchange online forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/msonline/en-us/home?forum=onlineservicesexchange
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Can't see group wiki from external network, but can internal

when someone goes to my site, and clicks on groups, you see the list of groups. but then you click on it, and it says "group doesn't exist on the server". but it does! it works fine on my internal network. what gives?
the site is http://tmac.podzone.net
and no, that's not my internal domain
Message was edited by: twood3

Hi,
This works when I tried it from an external route. Hopefully you want to leave your site open to everyone, because that's the way it is now.
If you can't get to it internally, then add an A record to your site with external IP address under your current zone.
HTH,

Create Powershell Mailbox Exchange 2010 from remote server slow

I create AD Users and Mailboxes from servers via PowerShell script from a remote machine.
It worked fine and all of a sudden it takes anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes for the mailbox to create.
I logged into the remote powershell script machine, opened PowerShell ISE and tested with the following scripts, with –Verbose, and this was the result:
Add-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010
Enable-Mailbox -Identity 'DOMAIN/OU/OU/testcreateUser' -Alias 'testcreateUser' -Database 'Database1'-Verbose
Everything runs fine up to this point, and hangs for 10 minutes:
VERBOSE: [09:07:34.120 GMT] Enable-Mailbox : [Microsoft Cmdlet Extension Agent] Read Email Address Policy for organization "" from domain controller xxx.
VERBOSE: [09:07:34.151 GMT] Enable-Mailbox : [Microsoft Cmdlet Extension Agent] Found Email Address Policy "Default Policy".
VERBOSE: [09:16:12.543 GMT] Enable-Mailbox : [Microsoft Cmdlet Extension Agent] Add Primary Email Address X400:C=xxxxx
Any idea why it hangs at the Default Policy?

Check if there are any non-SMTP email addresses listed in the Email Address Policy. If there is, then it might be trying to find a server that has that proxyagent.dll file that is associated with the address extension. This is common when there
are different versions of Exchange installed in the environment.
Also, use the -domaincontroller switch with your enable-mailbox cmd and point to a DC local to the Exchange server that you are connecting to.
