Outlook 2013/ Exchange 2010 User Mailbox reached Limit and OWA is not reachable

Hello Folks,I have a strange Outlook/ Exchange problem with one of our Users, interestingly it’s the Boss of our company….The Background:- We have 2 Domains @company-1 or @company-2- We have 1 Exchange 2010 Server Version 14.03.0224.002- Till March of this year our Emails where hosted externally, we used to download the Emails every 2 minutes from POP3 Mailboxes into Exchange- We have 18 Users- So every User had a User account on our Exchange and a Mailbox externally- Now we host our Emails our self via MX and DNS Records(mail.company.cc)- The User kept their Exchange accounts, OWA is now working too So far all works well on my little Server farm.The Catch:Usually our users have only one Email address either @company-1 or @company-2 Except our Boss and one other User, they have an Email address in both Domains They have addresses one...

Hi,
I suggest to repair .ost file to check this issue by the following steps:
Exit Outlook.
In Control Panel, click or double-click Mail.
In the Mail Setup dialog box, click E-mail Accounts.
Click the Data Files tab, select the Exchange account, and then click
Open File Location. A file explorer window opens to the location of the data file for the Exchange account. The
Account Settings and Mail Setup dialog boxes will remain open, behind the file explorer window.
Close the Account Settings and the Mail Setup dialog boxes, then return to the file explorer window.
Important: be sure to close these two dialog boxes before you delete the file. If they aren't closed, Windows may display an error message about a conflict.
In the file explorer window, right-click the Exchange data file and then click
Delete. The next time you start Outlook, a new .ost file is created for the account.
Best Regards.

Outlook 2013/Exchange 2010 Free/Busy access issues.

Good Day Everyone,
I am running a Win 2008 R2 environment with Win7 users, using Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013. Last week my users started experiencing issues with being able to view Free/Busy in the Calendar for any other user. I have checked past issues with this with patches
KB 2837618 and KB 2837643. Neither patch is showing as installed and I have tried a nummber of the suggested fixes offered for that issue to no avail. OWA seems to be working just fine.
Our Outlook version is: 15.0.4605.1003
I need a fix for Outlook users and since I havve 140 users, individual fixes are a not realistic option.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please test if Out of Office feature works well in Outlook. If Out of Office doesn't work either, it should be Autodiscover related.
Once Autodiscover has not been configured properly, the Free/Busy information may not display correctly. If you are also seeing issues with Out of Office assistant, we may assume that you haven’t correctly setup Autodiscover, since these two symtoms are
common when Autodiscover is not configured correctly.
To verify that, please test Outlook Autodiscover Connectivity:

Outlook 2013 / Exchange 2010 constantly prompting for password

I as well as many users keep getting prompted for User/pass in outlook. This usually happens when I go from LAN to WIFI or from office to home. For example, If I close my laptop (not shut down) and head home then log back in and connect to my
VPN I usually get prompted for my user/pass for outlook. I type the correct user/pass but it does not accept and immeadiatly prompts for me to re enter. If I close down Outlook and re open the issue is fixed however this is not fixing this issue
and the owner of the company is receiving this error as well. I would like to find a solution so that either it does not prompt and automatically updates once it is reconnected with the network via VPN.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Outlook is simply not good at that with the existing protocols in Exchange 2010. Exchange 2013 uses MAPI over HTTP which may make that experience better.
Switching networks with Outlook open is typically not a good user experience.

Outlook 2013 / Exchange 2010 Calendar Invitations blank on recipient side

We have Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013 for our clients. When our users send calendar invitations to external recipients, some of the recipients are receiving regular emails just containing the notes field and subject. Specifically, when we email
a @hotmail.com or @outlook.com address this occurs. However, when we send an external calendar invitation to @gmail.com, the recipient can see it as a calendar invite and reply with an accept/tentative/decline.

How is everything so far?

Outlook 2013, Exchange 2010 error with Rules and Alerts

Hello,
I was recently informed by a user that when they open Outlook 2013 and click Manage Rules and Alerts, they get the following message:
By the way, NO Microsoft, this information is not helpful. Anyways, I found that the same problem is happening in my Outlook as well. I do not believe it is happening to all users' accounts, and I am able to set up Rules within Outlook Web Access,
so it seems to be some local setting. I found a lot of forums suggest running the Outlook /cleanrules switch, and this did not fix the problem. Other suggestions are to delete the profile on the computer and/or uninstall outlook and reinstall it.
I don't like these solutions, as they don't point to the true source of the problem and do nothing to help avoid this problem in the future. Has anybody else had this problem and been able to fix it? We are running Exchange 2010 in our environment,
although not sure if that makes a difference or not. Any answers that do not suggest the things I have already mentioned would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
For this issue, I recommend you ask in Office forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. You might get better help there.

Surface + Outlook 2013 + Exchange 2010 + VPN Problem

Ok so the Surface with Outlook 2013 works fine with our Exchange setup when the machine is attached to the network directly. Once it is on an external network and attached via a VPN connection it ceases to operate, and attempting to run Outlook simply results
in a box asking for credentials, which even when typed in correctly are not accepted.
We use many other laptops that are running Windows 7, and a couple that are running Windows 8.1 in the exact same manner, and they operate without issue.
Any ideas?

Hi,
May I first know your Surface version?
If you are not using Surface RT, I suggest you try this:
In Outlook, go to FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Double click on the account name -> More Settings -> Connection -> Exchange Proxy Settings -> We can find under "Proxy authentication settings", there are "Basic
Authentication", "NTLM Authentication" and "Negotiate Authentication", I suggest you try "Basic Authentication", then click "OK". Other two authentications can also be tried if the "Basic Authentication"
doesn't work.
I hope the information is helpful.

Exchange 2010 user cannot change password from OWA

My users are not able to change their own email password from owa. But we can change the passwords from ECP or from the server without any issue. What could be the issue ?
Biju Rajan

Check the regional date and time is set for user OWA...Follow the below steps
On the Client Access Server (CAS), click Start > Run and type
regedit.exe and click OK.
Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchange OWA.
Right click the MSExchange OWA key and click New >
DWord (32-bit).
The DWORD value name is ChangeExpiredPasswordEnabled and set the value to
1.
Note: The values accepted are 1 (or any non-zero value) for "Enabled" or 0 or blank / not present for "Disabled"
After you configure this DWORD value, you must reset IIS. The recommended method to reset IIS is to use
IISReset /noforce from a command prompt.

Problems with archive mailbox in Outlook, with exchange 2010+2013 co-existence

Hi!
We have an Exchange 2010 environment plus one Exchange 2013 MBX server meant for archive mailbox purpose. (We are going to upgrade to 2013 but with over 20.000 mailboxes it will take som time. Therefore we need to co-exist with primary mbx on 2010 and archive
mbx on 2013 for some time.)
My primary mailbox is on a 2010 MBX server, and I have today given myself an archive mbx on 2013 MBX server.
When I use OWA, both my primary mailbox and my archive shows up and everything works 100% fine!
But when I try Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013, only my primary mailbox works. The archive mailbox shows up, but generates an error when accessing it:
"The set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance"
Anyone who knows about this issue? Would we nice to know why it works in OWA but not in Outlook.
Thanks!
Trond Jenssen

Hi，
Please try to recreate a profile to access archieve mailbox.
If it doesn't make sense, also try Uncheck “Download shared folders” and check it again.

Exchange 2010 users cannot open Exchange 2013 shared mailbox

Title says it all.
We're in the process of migrating 1000+ mailboxes to Exchange 2013. A number of shared mailboxes have been migrated, but those users still on 2010 cannot open them.
Is this just how it is, or is there a way around it?

Hi,
I tested in my lab, if the shared mailbox is on Exchange 2010, I could open this shared mailbox successfully. Then I moved this shared mailbox to Exchange 2013, after that, I couldn’t open it anymore, I got the following error:
Besides, I tried to open a shared mailbox on Exchange 2013 which was not moved from Exchange 2010, it is the same error message.
Based on the test, it seems that Exchange 2010 users can’t open shared mailbox on Exchange 2013. So I recommend you move those users to Exchange 2013.

Exchange 2003 users are unable to send attachments larger then 8 MB to Exchange 2010 users on the same LAN

I am migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.
Users who are still on Exchange 2003 cannot send attachments any larger than around 8MB to Exchange 2010 users on the same LAN.
Users on Exchange 2010 can send large attachments to fellow Exchange 2010 users without issue.
I do not have any quota restrictions on Exchange 2010.
Had a look at the Exchange 2003 Connector but could not see any reference to attachement restrictions.
Has anyone come across this?

Outlook Connectivity / Exchange 2010 Coexistence Scenarios

Hello,
I recently migrated to Exchange 2013, autodiscover.domain.com and mail.domain.com are pointing to CAS 2013 for external and internal access. For EX013 users, Outlook establishes connection with both CAS 2010 and CAS 2013 which is fine. For EX2010 users,
Outlook establishes the connection only with CAS 2010 for both internal and external access. My understanding is that CAS 2013 should proxy the connection to CAS 2010, but it doesn't and also after the migration I have to remove and add the profile again for
the changes to take effect for the migrated users. I haven't changed the namespaces, its the same. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Your understadning is correct. Since only Exchange 2013 is Internet-facing, CAS2013 would proxy all requests for Exchange 2010 external user accessing.
Please make sure the External URL in Exchange 2010 services are all set to $Null and Outlook Anywhere is enabled with the external host name pointed to mail.domain.com. Then the external Exchange 2010 user would connect the Autodiscover service
with autodiscover.domain.com successfully. The other services such as EWS, OOF and OAB request would be send to Exchange 2013 then proxy to Exchange 2010.

Outlook 2013 reporting the wrong mailbox size

Hi,
I am seeing a problem with Outlook 2013 where the mailbox size under "Mailbox Cleanup" does not reflect the actual mailbox size on Exchange. For instance I have a user that has a mailbox size of 300MB according to Exchange, but her Outlook 2013
is reporting her mailbox size as 2.2GB. Is this a bug in Outlook?
Thanks

Hi,
You can logon OWA to see if the mailbox size displays the same as Outlook does. If no, simply have the user delete the .ost file, Outlook will then recreate the .ost file, try if the mailbox size displays correctly with the new .ost file.
The .ost file may be stored at: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook. If you are not sure, go to FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings to find its location.

Outlook 2013 Exchange 2013 Address Book Error 0x8004010F : The operation failed. An object cannot be found.

Hi,
We have Exchange 2013 running in our network, and are using Outlook 2013 on all PCs. We added some users several weeks ago, and they are not showing up in the Address Book. When we try to download the Address Book in Outlook, we receive the error 0x8004010F
: The operation failed. An object cannot be found.
Please let me know how I can start to troubleshoot this.
Regards,
Chris

Hi
There is a multiple reason to receive an error 0x8004010f, it is just a generic MAPI error.
Let’s check all settings are configured the way it is supposed to be: -
1.   Make sure the authentication setting is set up properly by using this command: -
Get-OabVirtualDirectory -ADPropertiesOnly | ft Identity, *Auth* -AutoSize
2.   Check URL’S are configured properly: -
Get-OabVirtualDirectory -ADPropertiesOnly | ft Identity, *url* -AutoSize
3.   Check the location of OAB: -
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB
4.   Now find out the location of the database on which the Arbitration mailbox resides: -
Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | where {$_.PersistedCapabilities -like “*OAB*”} | ft Name, Servername, Database
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus MGUxxx
5.   It is also important to ensure all database has the OAB set up properly for this use CMDLET: -
Get-MailboxDatabase | Ft Name, *book*
6.   If one or more database does not have OAB setup, then use CMDLET to set OAB for it: -
Get-Mailboxdatabase | Set-MailboxDatabase -OfflineAddressBook “Default Offline Address Book”
7.   If the issue is affecting only one or specific set of users, then check they have an OAB specified on their account: -
Get-Mailbox abc.xyz | fl Name, OfflineAddressBook,Database
Please correct me if the information that I am having is wrong.
Reply awaited.
Thanks and regards

Macbook Pro 10.7 Outlook 2011 Exchange 2010 sync

Macbook Pro 10.7 Outlook 2011 Exchange 2010 sync
Asked by: tppltd
I have a customer that uses our hosted solution Server 2008 Exchange 2010 for email access and web dav file share. They have 8 Macbooks connected to the system and they all use Outlook 2011. One user has an issue where he's reading and deleting emails within Outlook on his mac but it isnt updating Exchange which in turn means his iphone isnt clearing down the read and deleted emails. If i log on to the owa mailbox i can see that the emails havent been read or deleted. We have this issue for one user with the newest MacBook. It first occurred 4 months ago and i ended up removing the account and resyncing the whole lot which took a few hours due to the size of the mailbox. I've right clicked the folders and told it to resync but it remains the same. Does anyone have any help they can provide please? thanks
The user doesnt want to rebuild the outlook account. Am i missing somthing obvious

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software as it's their stuff you have questions about:
