New Mailbox Created in Recovery Storage Group

Using SBS 2003.
Recently created and used a Recovery Storage Group to do a test a restore of a mailbox. I dismounted the Recovery Storage Group but did not delete it. Today, I created 2 new users with the SBS wizard and found their mailbox paths pointed to the Recovery
Storage group. Of course this is dismounted, so no mailboxes are actually created yet.
What would be the best way to fix this? Should I just delete the mailboxes and recreate in the correct store? Would it be better to mount the Recovery Storage group and then try and move the mailboxes, (I'm assuming the mailboxes would be automatically created
once the store is available)?
Once the problem is resolved, should I make sure it's dismounted then just right click on the Recovery Storage group and delete it?

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?

Could you please help me with the script will rename the policy name please help me with script..
Thanks,

Hi Chandu,
Have you find the solution finally? Have you tried Pavan's suggestion?
Sorry for my lacking of code and script. If your requirement still haven't been achieved, I suggest we can ask a question in Exchange Development forum and Script Center for more professional suggestion:

Welcome email to new mailbox created by department

Hi,
We have 4 different welcome messages because we have 1 exchange server for all locations.
Each location we need to change the welcome message. Is this possible? Pls adv. Thanks.
Warm Regards,
Josette

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, Exchange doesn't have built-in function to send welcome emails to new mailboxes by department. For more information, actually, we have a dedicated support team regarding the Microsoft Exchange Development. I recommend you ask your
question on our Exchange Development forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. Thanks for your understanding.

Recovery Storage Groups removed from exhange 2010

hi everyone,
please let me know , how i can restore the single mailbox of user in exchange 2010 , as RSG is removed from Exchange 2010, how we can restore the database after the server failure or curruption in database, if you are not using DAG
regards
jeevan

Installing Exchange 2010 servers in the environment, doesn't affect Exchange 2003 functionality (however suggest you to do a POC in test environment if you want more confident) so don't worry about RUS.
If you are going to have Exchange 2010 server or Exchange 2010 users in both of the domains then you need to prepare both domains with \PrepareDomain switch or at once with \PrepareAllDomain.
Prepare Active Directory and Domains

Also steps are pretty neat in Exchange 2010 deployment assistance, you may get better idea with it...

How to create new storage group and mailbox database on exchange 2007 CCR

Hi, Our Environment:
Exchange 2007 SP3 CCR.
Now I want to create a new storage group with edb file and log files on the new drive.
My plan is as below:
Once we have new drive ready on both active node and passive node,
1): Create new storage group with log files for this new storage group on other new drive from Active Node.
2): Create new mailbox database under this newly created storage group with the DB file on the new drive from active node.
My question is:
1): Do I need to perform above steps from active node only? or Do I need to do it from both active node and passive node?
2): How many storage groups can we create on one Exchange 2007 Enterprise server, we already have 25 SGs in place.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to:
1. We can just create new storage group on the active node. And it’ll be replicated to the passive node.
We can use the following command in EMS to verify the new Storage Group is being replicated to the passive node:
Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus "Second Storage Group" | Select SummaryCopyStatus,CCRTargetNode
http://exchangepedia.com/blog/2007/08/how-to-create-new-storage-group-in-ccr.html
2. For Exchange 2007 enterprise version, we can have up to 50 storage groups:

Exchange creates a new logs even no mailbox uses the storage group

We are running Exchange 2007 with 4 storage groups. We have migrated most of our mailboxes to Office 365 (there two web emails need to configure SMTP relay on Office 365) and stopped Exchange backup. However, the Exchange data still increases
everyday because of the log files. In checking the those storages, no one uses storage group 2 and 3, but these two storages have a new log files every day. Why? How can we find out which mailbox uses them?
Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.com

An easy way to see what mailboxes are being used on your system is to check your message tracking logs - run the following:
Get-TransportServer | Sort Name | % { get-messagetrackinglog -Start "11/3/2014" -ResultSize Unlimited } | Select TimeStamp, Sender, Recipients, MessageSubject, EventID, TotalBytes, RecipientCount, RecipientStatus, ServerHostName, MessageLatency*,
ConnectorID
This should get you the information if mailboxes have been used for sending or receiving email. If you have any retention enabled in your system, this will cause messages to be removed from mailboxes. And there is the common daily calendar management
that the systems does. If you have the recoverable items and recoverable mailboxes in place, these will be removed over time. And finally, Exchange closes log files so that the database can be recovered to a certain point in time, regardless of
whether there is traffic on the database. So even if you have removed all access from your mailboxes, and in fact even if you have removed all your mailboxes, you will have transaction logs being closed.

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this, the server is running Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP2. I don't want to complete an upgrade to SP3 until I have got this issue resolved first.
Any suggestion are welcome.
Kind Regards
TPark IT Technician

In terms of what's causing it, the clue is in the stack above.
its one of the cmdlet extension agents. Which one? Well the one at index 0
Run this, and you should find its the Mailbox Creation Time Agent
Get-CmdletExtensionAgent | select Name, priority
Get-CmdletExtensionAgent | select Name, priority
I'd then run Test-Servicehealth to check services are all responding.
Can you post the exact command you are running to get this?

Hi ,
Please verify the Information Store service is started.
Distribution Group and contacts both have no mailbox in information store. So you can create them.
And now, we may need to verify if the mailbox database is mounted and we can get its information.
The following similar issue for your reference.
Cannot execute Get-MailboxDatabase cmdlet:<//span>

By the way, do you choose which mailbox database you want to store when create mailbox ?

Cannot edit/create new mailbox in ECP - Exchange 2013 CU6

Hello, I am currently running Exchange 2013 CU6. I cannot perform tasks related to recipients such as edit/create new mailbox. Additionally I cannot view the properties of the virtual directories.
I tried multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE) in different PCs and the result is the same
For example, I cannot click "Browse" in "new user mailbox" tab
"New local Mailbox move" page displays blank
I browsed through the event logs and found the following errors (Event 4 and Event 21):

My mailboxes have disappeared when I installed Yosemite, but if I try to create a new mailbox by that name, it says I can not because the mailbox already exists How do I get them to show up?

I upgraded mu iMac to Yosemite now my mailboxes don't show up in my mail. If I try to create a new mailbox with the same name, it tells me that that mailbox already exists. How do I get my mailboxes to appear?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

Exchange 2010 - Create a new Mailbox Database

Hello all and thanks in advance for your time and expertise.
Here's my scenario:
In my ORG we have one exchange server. The hard drive space on this server was quite low so we added two more drives which are independent and in their own Raid Configuration from the drives that were already installed. In other words, the current
mailbox database is housed on drives with a total storage capacity of 837GB.
We recently added two more drives, each 2TB, and configured them in a RAID1.
I'm going to create a new Mailbox Database on the 2TB drives and move over some mailboxes to balance out the storage.
Question one: When we move some of the mailboxes over to the new database - will this free up space on the existing database or do we have to reclaim it such as with an offline degrag.
Question two: When I create the new mailbox database and I'm prompted to Enter the new file locations for the database (database path and log folder path) - do I just change the paths to the new drive letter path such as G:
We're eventually going to Office365 (hopefully sooner rather than later) but I just want to make sure I handle this process correctly. Your input here is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Your databse size is 650 GB. As per my experience , it would not take more than 14 hours for total mailbox movement.
You will be creating new database of 2 TB , you have already allocated 2 Tb drive to exchange server.
If you are dividing drive into 2 or four part and creating that much databse, it will be helpful for maintence activity in future.
It is recommended that you move mailbox during off bussiness hours, it will fasten the movment,as there will be no load on exchange server . You can do it on daily basis Or you can do it on weekend .
You need to take care of logs generated during movment, are you going to use seperate log drive for databse, or combine with database drive. If you are moving all mailbox to one database, It will genrate same size of logs file as of total mailboxes
size (650 GB). You neeed to handle it properly. Enable circular logging on database, after movment ,you can disable it.
Moreover, if you will create move request of all mailboxes, exchange will process nly 50 request, rest will be in queue state.
Regarding public folders, I understand there is no seperate disk for public folders, if you planning to delete old dtabse and free up disk space, you will have to move this public folders database to new disk also.
Would recommend that you take advice from other expert in this forum, before implementation.

Created new mailbox, not showing up

I recently created a new top level mailbox, named "Sent Messages"; it did not appear immediately after creation, and hasn't shown up after restarting Mail.
I thought maybe I didn't hit the "OK" button during the Naming prompt, so I tried to add a new mailbox of the same name; I receive an error stating 'The mailbox ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Sent Messages.mbox already exists'.
I've navigated to this location in Finder, and see that indeed there exists a folder by this name, containing a single .plist file. I've compared the contents of this .plist to the .plist of another top level mailbox that appears properly, and there are no negligible differences.
I've tried to Rebuild Mailbox on all of my user-created mailboxes, and looked into hierarchial mailboxes to see if it got created in a nested fashion; all to no avail.
I've tried deleting the .mbox in the ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes directory, but it just gets recreated the next time I launch Mail.
I've tried creating a new uniquely named mailbox, and it gets correctly created and appears at the top level in Mail, as well as under ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes.
I've switched view options from large to small mailbox icons, hoping this refresh might catch the missing mailbox
I suppose my next course of action would be to export my mail, flush my preferences, and recreate my account and reimport all my messages, but I'd really like to avoid having to do that.
I have no idea what else to try to do to fix this problem. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?
(Fun fact: I started every paragraph in this thread with the letter "I".)
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It isn't clear to me what your problem really is, so I'm not sure what it is that you want to fix, but I can help you better understand what happened.
"Sent Messages" is the name Mail uses for the standard mailboxes where sent messages of each account are stored. Such mailboxes don't appear by their name in Mail, but rather as children of the Sent group using the account name instead (if you have more than one account).
A Sent Messages.mbox folder in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ would also be treated as a standard Sent mailbox and, hence, displayed within the standard Sent group (as On My Mac), instead of treated like any other custom mailbox.

What??? You Can't Create New Mailboxes on an iPhone???

How incredibly stupid is that???
So I finally decide to buy one of these things (two, actually, since I can't get one unless my wife gets one too...) and one of the first things I tried to do is... move a message from the inbox to.... ANY other folder. There, at the bottom of the message, is the icon... a folder with an arrow. Tap that... and... what's this?? You can't create a new mailbox?
Oh wait, maybe you have to create the mailboxes in Mail on your MacBook, an then sync them to the iPhone. Nope, that doesn't work either.
So maybe you wind up on the phone with some charmin lass in Bangalore and you listen incredulously as she tells you that this INCREDIBLY SIMPLE AND S.O.P. CAN'T BE DONE with an iPhone!!!
And then you tell her... but... there it is, right in the user manual I downloaded. Three mailboxes in addition to "inbox" "sent" and "trash." Where did they come from???
Then you spend 10 minutes on dead silence, on hold, and she comes back and says, oh, you can only do that with an iMap account! Like, hotmail or gmail or something.
Well, I don't have hotmail or gmail (I do have Yahoo Mail but don't actually use it for anything) I have Apple Mail on my MacBook. Are they telling me that the mail program on this most-expensive-smartphone in the world is really so stupid that it can't create a mailbox?? That every message I want to keep on the thing has to be kept in the inbox? How stupid IS THAT???
So, please, somebody.... tell me I'm wrong about this -- that lovely Ms. Bangalore is wrong about this... and tell me how I can create an additional mail box on my iPhone so that I don't wind up with 1,000 messages in my inbox.
Really, how hard, how fundamental, is a task like that?
Thanks,

With .Mac you get 10GB of storage, you can divide that between email, and web/iDisk space by logging in and going to your account settings on www.mac.com.
EDIT: When my mailbox on an IMAP server that limits to 200MB starts to get full, I move old messages to a "local" or "On My Mac" folder on my computer.
Thanks again for all the patient counsel around this issue. Here's the latest, in case anybody's still paying attention.
I've been able to convert my primary e-mail account from POP to IMAP, so that it is now fully syncable with my iPhone. However, I'm still a long way from migrating my entire e-mail operation to Mac Mail.
That is actually something that I would like to do. But I'm having a hard time now figuring out what exactly will be my "e-mail strategy" going forward.
Presently, I am still doing most of my e-mail (which is a large part of my work) using Eudora in Windows on the Mac (via Parallels). I have had to do that mostly because I have thousands of messages in folders in Eudora, and I have been relying heavily on Eudora's robust search functions to find material that has formed the basis of a book I've been writing. For that and other reasons I have had to continue running Windows even as I've been migrating to the Mac platform.
Now that a first draft of the book is done, I would love to abandon Windows altogether. I'm much happier in a pure Mac environment.
But switching to IMAP for MacMail has actually made the prospect more difficult, because the service that hosts my primary e-mail account only allows 100MB of storage on their IMAP servers. I have hundreds of folders and several GB of files and folders in Eudora; with that kind of limit, I really can't see moving all those files and folders into MacMail, and having them sync'd to the server. It's impossible, actually.
I do not need access to 98% of what I have stored in Eudora from more than one client. So it really doesn't need to be part of my IMAP scenario.
What I do need is a way to clear from the server e-mail that I want to keep locally. How do I do that if everything in an IMAP client is duplicated on the server?
As it is, the next time I start Eudora in Windows, it is going to download all the e-mail and delete it from the servers. Then the next time I start MacMail, it will all disappear from MacMail because it's been deleted from the server, right? That's not such a bad thing, because it clears the servers and because MacMail is not (yet) the permanent repository of my vast e-mail archives.
This gets confusing to even contemplate, let alone write about. Bottom line is a) how do I make MacMail my main e-mail program when there is surely going to be more than 100MB of data I want to maintain, and/or b) how do I preserve the e-mail that I do want to save locally if my primary account is IMAP and I don't want to keep everything on the server.
Remember, this whole issue arises because 98% of what arrives on my handheld (previously a Treo 650) I could just delete, and the other 2% I could save to a separate folder. But that was a POP account. Now I've had to alter my entire e-mail regimen JUST so I can have a folder for "keepers" on my handheld. And I SURE don't need those those thousands of e-mails in my permanent archives on the hand held (even if there is room for them).
Sorry, I keep trying to boil it down to a simple question, and it keeps getting complicated. Is there a primer on IMAP management that somebody can refer me to?
Thanks,
