MaximumDevicesReached for exchange server protocol 12.1?

Hi,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee218647(EXCHG.80).aspx says that MaximumDevicesReached is supported only on 14.1 exchange server. So, my question is, what is the error code sent by the server in case of 12.1 exchange server protocol?

Hi ,
By default exchange throttling policy supports maximum configuration of single account in 10 devices for active sync, In case if you try to configure that same account on the 11 th device you will face the mentioned error.
Better way is to delete the stale device partnership else you can change the throttling policy to allow max devices more than 10.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

if any one know how to solve this error?

Hi,
The "<cfexchangeConnection>" tag supports both "HTTP"
and "HTTPS" connection.. So Please make sure the username has the
"Outlook Web Access".
Also try removing the 
comment which you placed inside the "<cfexchangeConnection>"
tag.

DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer xyz using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID 7b28 (C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeHMWorker.exe).

Hi,
Previously I've two exchange server 2013 named : ABC and XYZ. After is decomm XYZ, i got this error :
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer XYZ using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID 7b28 (C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MSExchangeHMWorker.exe).
EventID:10028
Source:DistributedCOM
May I know the reason why the server keep looking for the non-exist server and how to terminate this process?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It seems that error message occurs on the same machine with the previous Exchange Server you have decommissioned. Have you reinstall the Windows System after uninstall the Exchange
Server?
You need to check the registry keys but this is not efficient solution. The most efficient way is to reinstall the Windows if it is convenient.
Thanks,

So, I am not able to set "In-Reply-To" header while sending my SendMail command. Which results in no LastVerbExecuted returned from the server (which I suppose is caused by the mentioned issue).
So, my question is, how to make the exchange server return a Message Id field for a new email received by my client?
Something like mentioned here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee220018%28v=EXCHG.80%29.aspx

You are getting customized error as a SOAP Fault from PeopleSoft application.
Regarding 3 responses, your send port might have retry count = 3 set in your send port. Hence you are getting 3 faults on each request you are making.
Now coming to the actual issue, when something goes wrong and you got fault message response, you need to deal with it. Means your orchestration send port will have "Response" and "Fault" response and you will deal with these messages respectively.
You need to assign MessageTypes for Response and Fault accordingly.
If you have done all above and still getting an error, check this
hotfix 978156 which is applicable in case of 2k6R2 and 2009 biztalk versions and happens while dealing with cross object conversion (datetime)

Exchange Server 2013 SP1 Standard: Installation failing can't progress

I'm trying to install Exchange Server 2013 and I keep getting this error and I am unable to progress, I can't find any support on the issue and frankly I don't want to/can't afford to spend $500 to ask Microsoft for technical support (what kind of racket
do they think they're running?).
The error message:
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
New-PushNotificationsVirtualDirectory -Role Mailbox -DomainController $RoleDomainController;
" was run: "The Active Directory object for virtual directory 'IIS://SVR02.OFFICE.local/W3SVC/24/ROOT/PushNotifications' on 'SVR02' could not be created. This might be because the object already exists in Active Directory. Remove the object from Active Directory, then re-create it.".
Yet, I see no PushNotifications virtual directory or anything remotely related to that on IIS or in the inetpub folders and files. If I try to resume the set-up after this error I get:
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
New-PushNotificationsVirtualDirectory -Role Mailbox -DomainController $RoleDomainController;
" was run: "The AD configuration for virtual directory 'PushNotifications' already exists in 'CN=PushNotifications (Exchange Back End),CN=HTTP,CN=Protocols,CN=SVR02,CN=Servers,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=OFFICE,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=OFFICE,DC=local', please remove this AD configuration manually.

And I have to remove this config using ADSI Edit, which just returns me to the first error.

1. Prodution
2. Just 1 DC for 1 site.
3. Setup.EXE
4. Matches SP1 version numbers
5. That's just what was made available to me via MSPP, the installer doesn't see any updates?

It says it can not log on with the supplied details, but the account is an Administrator account with full privileges so I can't see why this would be the case.

Thank you in advance

Hi,
The connection in Outlook 2011 for Mac is difference from the Exchange connection in Outlook for Windows. The Outlook for Mac is using EWS for Exchange connection.
According to your original posting, there seems to be some issue with your autodiscover service. And some Exchange services (such as OAB, OOF, OWA etc.) are using webmail-01.xx.com namespace in the URL. Please double confirm the configuration in your Exchange
server.
Additionally, please check the autodiscover service on Outlook for Windows machine. If all configurations in server side are correct but the issue persists, I suggest we can ask a question in Outlook 2011 for Mac forum for more help:

What the heck is brute-forcing our exchange server?

Hello all,
We have been getting FLOOODED with (what seems like) brute force attacks on our server. We use RDP a lot for remote connecting but our firewall (Sonicwall) is setup to block IPs that aren't ours (I've seen this resolve RDP brute-force attacks first-hand).
The problem is that i'm used to seeing the "Failure Audit" logs with "Logon Type 10" and an IP that was attempting the connection, but now we're being flooded with "Logon Type 8". The issue that has me concerned is that i'm now
seeing a LARGE amount (438 entries) of failed login attempts with no IP address to indicate where it's coming from.
Now, as much as I love Batman, I know for a fact noone on our end was trying to login under this account (or the hundreds of other accounts that attempted logins). I copied one of the event viewer logs below and literally ALL of the events are identical
with the exception of the Account Name (the acct name is different and always something blatantly fake).
My guess is that there is some type of bot trying to authenticate using OWA to get email access, however I could be 100% wrong (the logic comes from the fact that an exchange file is listed on every event). ANNNNY input / advice on this matter is appreciated!!!
An account failed to log on.
Subject:
Security ID: NETWORK SERVICE
Account Name: <serverHostname, Edited out for security>
Account Domain: <our domain>

Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password.

Sub Status: 0xc0000064
Process Information:
Caller Process ID: 0x2f3c
Caller Process Name: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin\EdgeTransport.exe
^this is what leads us to believe it's coming from OWA / email login attempts
Network Information:

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.
The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.
The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).
The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.
The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.
The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.
- Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.
- Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.
- Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

Hi,
logontype 8 is the same as logontype 3 -network logon except for the fact the password is sent in clear text.
I think your OWA is publicly available and someoen is trying to access it. The fact the logontype is 8 indicates you might use basic authentication on the website- which is quite insecure. it migh lso be some other servcies (like smb) are available from
the internet and abused.
make sure the server is only reachable on the web on the needed ports 443 for the website, 25 for smtp. You firewall should block all the rest!
For rdp (and other management tools) I would recommend blocking access over the internet and configuring some vpn solution.
MCP/MCSA/MCTS/MCITP
Thank you! This goes along with what we were thinking so it's very nice to see someone else saying it. We are looking more into the firewall rules and most likely getting an updated firewall altogether. With any luck we will be ok after setting up the new
wall with all fresh Rules while keeping the threat in mind. Lots of rules currently and limited security options since it's ancient.
Thanks for the response!

Mail on iMac not accessing MS Exchange server but both iPhone and iPad access the same account with no problems.

I have been using an iPhone and iPad to access my work emails via our MS Exchange server for a number of years now with no problems at all. I recently replaced my home PC with an iMac (first Mac I have owned) but cannot get it to communicate with the exchange server. I've checked and re-checked the information on the iMac and my iPad - I even deleted the mail account on the iPad and input the details concurrently with setting up on the iMac - but the Mac will not access the exchange server.
I receive the message "The Exchange server "---------------" rejected the password for user "------" Enter you password again or cancel." I am using the correct password. iPad and iPhone are logging on using that password fine. iMac just ends up repeating this message.
Our IT support at work assure me that there is no reason from their end for it not to work, and reasonably point to it working using the iPhone etc.
I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can provide a solution to this basic, but extremely frustrating, little problem.

iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
Good luck!

How to get contact details in C# code , when new contact is created in Exchange Server 2013

Hi all,
In my exchange server 10 users there, i need to create service that if any user log in his account and create new contact,
then i need that new contact details in C# code immediately [EWS Managed API].
how can i achieve this ?

If you want to be notified when a user creates a contact then look at notifications (either streaming or push) on the contacts folder
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn458791(v=exchg.150).aspx . You will need to subscribe to every users contacts folder you want to monitor .
This will give you the EWSid of the new contact that has been created then to access the details you just bind to it

Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Setup - Active Directory Topology service on server 'TopologyClientTcpEndpoint (localhost)' returned an error - Set-SharedConfigDC

What am I trying to do?
I have tried installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 7 Setup on a fresh install of Windows Server 2012 R2 but it gets stuck when running the setup exe on Step 8 of 14 “Mailbox Transport Service” I have included full
error logs at the bottom of the page but the basics are in order it will throw which loop around are:

Exchange is currently running in the envirmonet on 2010 Sp3 I am installing 2013 CU7 fresh so I can migrate the databases over.
What am I running?
2 X DC on domain and forest functional level 2008R2 both writable
1 X fresh install of Windows 2012 R2 which is domain joined
What have I tried?
Checked Ipv6 is enabled on all DC NICS and Existing Exchange Servers
Rebooted every server
Run setup as Administrator
My account is part of the domain Enterprise Admin group
Tried adding "Exchange Server" or "Exchange Enterprise Servers" to the group policy and doing the relevant gpupdate /force and reboot :
Computer Configuration Windows Settings
Security Settings + Local Policies
User Rights Assignment Mange auditing and security log
Turned off firewall on DC and Exchange Server even stopped the service
Turned off all AV on the DC and Exchange Server
Checked I could telnet to global catalog servers on port 3268 which I can
Checked the global catalog records existed in DNS which they all do
Done the obvious ping tests all round which confirms connectivity
Schema has been prepared using appropriate commands before running the setup exe
setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Making sure the following path has full permissions:
EXCHANGE14:\Current\Release\Shared\Datacenter\Setup
Restarted Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology service
DcDiag all looks good
What have I noticed that is suspicious?
Microsoft Exchange Transport service will not start even though both of its dependences services have started:
Microsoft Filtering Management Service
Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology Service
It will eventually error with
“Windows could not start the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service on local computer
Error 1053: This Service did not respond to the start of control request in a timely fashion”
This error is from the GUI wizard itself:

Hi apl228,
1. Please make sure the IPv6 is enabled.
2. Please make sure the account that install Exchange server has Administrator permission.
3. Please make sure DNS has been configured correctly.

Why can't I connect to Exchange Server 2003? I'm using OS Lion. My iphone connects, what am I doing wrong?

Why can't I connect to Exchange Server 2003? I'm using OS Lion. My iphone connects, what am I doing wrong?

the iPhone uses active sync. Desktop clients do not. Desktop clients use another exchange protocol (which i can't remember as i'm not a microsofty).
Just because you can access via active sync doesn't mean you can access it by other methods, and vice versa.

IPhone 2.0 doesn't work with my exchange server

My tech support guys have been working on my iPhone for an entire day and couldn't get it to work with the server. They are telling me that the phone isn't compatible with the exchange server and it would require an entire overhaul of our server and reconfiguration to get it to work. I thought the new iPhone was supposed to be so easy to use. I am so ready to ditch my blackberry and so very disappointed that I can't get the iPhone to work with our server. Macintosh support was completely useless to help figure out this problem- as they said they don't offer support to third party software- yet this phone is supposed to work with the Microsoft Exchange Server?! Can anyone offer any help?
Below is the explanation my tech support gave me:
I wanted to reach out to you to update you with your iPhone working on the peacock exchange. After spending considerable time with both AT&T and Macintosh, getting the phone to operate with exchange as easy as Macintosh advertises, has ended in a failure. Your phone device itself, is properly updated and has all the correct settings. Where the problem lies for you is on the Microsoft server end. This is where the server will have to have additional software and updates installed which would effect and change the peacock network environment. This can be potentially accomplished, however it will need to be evaluated for the additional costs and potential risks to the server and environment. That’s why BlackBerry is so popular with business networks, because it does not affect the Microsoft Exchange mail services in any shape or form. Blackberry runs on its own server service which acts as the bridge to communicate with the Microsoft service.
AT&T was very helpful and tried everything they could to aid us. Macintosh on the other hand, was not very helpful. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Macintosh just came out and said that they do not support 3rd party software (i.e Microsoft Products). You can give Macintosh a try, and see if you end with better results.

Actually Blackberry has two options, one where they pull from your server and then push it to your phone as described. Alternatively you can install their software on your server to relay. Both require additional services, software and fees. Instead the iPhone uses the ActiveSync included in the Exchange server, which is the same protocol used to communicate with Windows Mobile based devices.

Essentially Apple does not configure Microsoft Exchange for your admins. We do provide a list of what versions of ActiveSync and which ActiveSync features we support. However, ActiveSync is part of the Microsoft Exchange server maintained and configured by your Exchange server admins.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
