Planning for CAS Array with DAG intergation on Exchange 2010

We currently have 2 Exchange servers and have plans to add 2 more servers so it will be 2 servers with DAG and 2 servers with CAS array
Here is our current setup: EX01 has HUB, CAS and MAILBOX roles EX02 has MAILBOX only with DAG configured between 2 servers.
Should I install another Exchange (EX03) with Mailbox role and remove it from EX01 and then have another EX04 to setup CAS array? What is the best practice ?
alex serdyukov

Hi,
In your case, you can install another Exchange (EX03) with Mailbox role and remove Mailbox role from EX01 and then have another server EX04 to setup CAS array.
Then you can deploy DAG using server EX02 and EX03, and add server EX01 and EX04 to CAS array.

Migration Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 with CAS Array and DAG

Dear All,
I am starting the migration of Exchange 2010 2 servers (CAS/Mailbox) with DAG no CAS Array to Exchange 2013 with 2 servers CAS array and 2 Mailbox servers with DAG. I read on some blogs that no requirement of CAS array on Exchange 2013. My concern how to
configure NLB on CAS servers for the client to connect.
Please guide and have any deployment guide for this, kindly share.
Thanks

Hi ,
As you said there is no use and meaning of having the cas array in exchange 2013 and also thanks a lot to Microsoft for introducing an single namespace facility in exchange 2013.
My suggestion and Microsoft recommendation should be to go with hardware load balancers for exchange 2013 rather than using the windows NLB and round robin method.
Why we need to go for HLB ?
Disadvantages
of some load balancing methods :
Windows
NLB :-
If you use Windows NLB then it can provide redundancy on server level failure and not on application level.
DNS
round robin :-
In case if we use the windows round robin method for load balancing then it wouldn't provide server level
and application level redundancy during the failures.At the Same time we need to manually adjust the DNS records during the server failure but on the client end dns caches will create the issues.
Configuring NLB for exchange 2013 :
http://msexchangeguru.com/2013/08/14/windowsnlb/
NLB configurations for exchange 2010 and 2013 will be same.
Configuring round robin for exchange 2013 :
http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2013-client-access-server-high-availability/
Advisable method is to have the CAS and MBX roles on the same box if NLB not comes it to play.Because windows failover clustering and NLB cannot be configured on the same box.In exchange 2013 cas role is a stateless server role so there is no need to have
that role on a separate box.

CAS Array and DAG Site Resiliency (2 Remote Sites via Point to Point Protocol)

Hi, we are planning to deploy Exchange HA and Site Resiliency but i had some troubles understanding some concepts.
Out current configurations settings:
Datacenter A:
1 MB/CAS/HT (MB01)
1 CAS (CAS01)
1 Point to Point link between Datacenter A and Datacenter B (We create a VLAN in the remote datacenter pointing to the Active Directory site where our Exchange server is).
1 Active Directory Site with 2 Domain controllers (with VLAN 192.1.3.x in Datacenter A and VLAN 192.1.20.x in Datacenter B)
Datacenter B:
We want to install a new Exchange CAS Server (CAS02) in VLAN 192.1.20.x, is it posible to create a CAS Array with this configuration considering the replication network for the cluster in the MS Windows Server NLB, so that our Virtual IP of the cluster points
to 192.1.3.x VLAN? What are the network considerations to the replication and MAPI network between VLANs? Does we need some third party NLB or this could be achieved with MWS2008R2?
Same configuration for the DAG, with a new server (MB02) just for the MB role. The idea is to remove the CAS role from MB01 and have 2 Exchange Mailbox servers members of the DAG and 2 Exchange CAS Servers members of the CAS Array, so in case of a disaster
in Datacenter A our clients automatically failover to Datacenter B in this case all of our clients will be pointing to the CAS Array in their Outlook.
Hope you can help me with this, i don't know if this is possible with our actual infraestructure.
Best Regards,
Gerardo

Thanks Ed,
So in that case we will need at least 4 servers in Datacenter A (2 MB members of DAG and 2 CAS/HUB members of the CAS Array) to get a decent HA solution, Am I correct?
What about the other server in Datacenter B for DR, it will be a passive node or just another multirole server. So in case of DR (Let's say our Datacenter A is totally wrecked) I will need to switchover manually with my DB backups and switchover the user
mailbox and outlook clients to point to the DR server? I didn´t get the point of the DR server in Datacenter B, can you explain a little bit more?
I'm totally agree with you about the false positive failovers because our network doesn't meet that requeriments at all.
Hope you can help me to clear my mind.
Best Regards,
Gerardo

Exchange 2010 CAS array with Exchange 2013 Mailbox Servers

Here is our current scenario,
Exchange 2007
2 - Hub Transport Servers
2 - CAS servers (cluster NLB)
2 - Mailbox servers (clustered)
Exchange 2010
2 - Huib Transport Servers
3 - CAS servers (array NLB)
2 - Mailbox servers (1 DAG)
We have not migrated any users to the Exchange 2010 environment yet. We're thinking that at this point we would rather go from 2007 to 2013. Does the 2013 mailbox server work with a 2010 CAS array?

Hi,
As far as I know, CAS array doesn' t exist in Exchange 2013. And OWA and other requests can be proxyed and redirected from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:

Hi SKPATEL
Thank you for your question.
By my knowledge, we cannot meet your requirement, you can followed Ed's idea.
We just use out of office to reply all email without original email when the recipient is out of office.
You can refer to the following link to configure out of office:

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server.
It used to work perfectly, and then I lost connection and was never able to establish one. I re-istalled my e-mail account several times, no success.

I am sure all of you got your email issues sorted out by now but i was having trouble settings up exchange email on my Iphone 5S, and the problem i found was to go to settings, icloud, then log into icloud with your apple id first (before setting up the exchange email). Once i logged into my icloud account on my Phone 5S, the exchange server email starting working and synching right away.
to confirm this worked, i even deleted my email account and deleted my Icloud accounts both from my iphone was able to simulated the same exact problem (exchange server would not sync with my Iphone 5S) until i logged back into my Icloud account on my 5S.
Again once i logged into Icloud, the exchange server issues went completely away.
Just wanted to post this so anyone else having the issue could see.

Issue with SLA reports of Exchange 2010 MP in SCOM 2007 R2 !!

Hi,
I have issues with Exchange 2010 MP SLA reporting. Whenever report is run it fails on some or the other dataset(Outage**,SLAbyDAte etc.) When I digged in, I found that it is connecting to DW Exchange 2010 Availability tables + Planned maintainance +
outage table. The tables were not available in the DW, not sure how it got removed. Initially I tried by uninstalling and installing MP(Exchange 2010 & Exchange 2010 reports both) if relevant tables get created automatically but it did
not help and I was still facing the same issue. Then I tried to create the tables manually and check if it could resolve the issue. There was unique ID associated(different in different computer) with the name of most of the tables. I tool it from Exchange
report data source which exists in reporting server. But I could see that table remain empty with no records there and SLA report start giving different issues stating table instances do not exist.
Could anyone help me to restore the SLA report of Exchange 2010 MP ? How should I ensure that data start populating the tables ? I am also helpless here because we do not have correct DW dump to restore back to earlier when it was working fine.

Hi,
Based on my research, to correctly install the Correlation Engine, consider the following when you install the Exchange 2010 Monitoring Management Pack:
Determine which server will host the Correlation Engine. While not strictly required, it's strongly recommended that the Correlation Engine be installed on the Root Management Server computer.
Make sure that you download and install the Exchange 2010 Management Pack that matches the operating system for the selected server. You can install the 32-bit or 64-bit version.
Make sure that you run the Microsoft Installer (.msi) package on the server where you want the Exchange 2010 Management Pack and the Correlation Engine to be installed.
After the installation is complete, the Correlation Engine service will have been installed on the server, and the Management Pack files will have been copied to the
System Center Management Packs folder. By default, the installation directory is C:\Program Files\System Center Management Pack.

How to export "Managed by" field of Distribution and Security groups and import with new values? (Exchange 2010, AD 2003)

My Active Directory environment is 2003 functional level and we have Exchange 2010.
I am trying to find out the best way to do a mass edit for the "Managed by" values of our security and distribution groups.
I know we can export the "managed by" field by csvde but I am not sure this is the correct way to do it. Also in the case that there are multiple users assigned to be managing a distribution group it only shows one value. Also powershell from Exchange
2010 can be used with "get-distribution" but as our AD environment is 2003 is this correct also?
Finally once the data is exported to csv can it be edited to then reimport and udpate the existing group managed by fields with new values?
Not really sure that the best way to go about this is.
Summary - We have 2003 AD with Exchange 2010 and I am trying to export a list of all our Distribution/Security groups showing the group name and managedby values so we can edit and update the
existing managedby values with new ones. In some cases we have multiple users as the owners.
Appreciate any advice on how this can be best achieved. Thank you.

Hi,
We can use the following command in Exchange 2010 to export "Managed by" field of Distribution and Security groups:
Get-DistributionGroup | Select-object Name,@{label="ManagedBy";expression={[string]::join(“;”,$_.managedby)}},Primarysmtpaddress | Export-Csv
C:\export.csv
After you changed the Managed by field in export.csv and saved it as a new file named import.csv, we can run the following command to set with new value:
Import-Csv C:\import.csv | Foreach-Object{ Set-DistributionGroup –Identity $_.Name –ManagedBy $_.ManagedBy}
Hope it works.

Connecting CAS Server to Mailbox Server in Exchange 2010

Currently, we are running the CAS,HUB,and Mailbox role on the same Exchange 2010 SP3 server. At some point I would like to separate this out. Should be an easy question: what command gets/sets the settings which points a CAS array to a mailbox database?
So I want CAS_SERVER1 -> DB1,DB2 and CAS_SERVER2 -> DB3,DB4

Hi,
In Exchange 2010, Outlook look for the “rcpclientaccessserver” attribute on the user’s Database to find the CAS server. You can manually set it by the following command:
Set-mailboxdatabase –rcpclientaccessserver xxx

Hi Alelieveld,
When you reset a virtual directory, the virtual directory is removed and a new virtual directory with default settings is created.
After you reset the VD, did you restart IIS?

CMDLET commands regarding setting a default font for all users using OWA on an exchange 2010 platform

HI,
We are running Exchange 2010 and are migrating users from 2003 to 2010 with no problems. The client has asked me to set OWA font to LuidaSans which I can do for individuals with no problems. However, when I try and run the following command
Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -LucidaSans but then got a message to state
"property composefontname can't be set on this object becuase it requires the object to have version 0.1 <8.0.535.0> or later. The object's currant version is 0.0 <6.5.6500.0>"
What object is this reffered to? Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Paul

Hi,
To set a default font for all users, you can use this command: -
Get-Mailbox | Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -DefaultFontName "Trebuchet"
You can use any font style in place of “Trebuchet”.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Delete only 1 Auto-Complete email address for everyone's email accounts - perhaps via Exchange 2010 or Group Policy?

Hello
I have an exchange 2010 server and clients use outlook 2007 or 2010 for emails.
I recently deleted an account with the Exchange 2010 server and created another with the same name but a different address.
Now people can't send mail to this new email address because it's cached on their outlook profiles... but it does work after they cleared the cache and send their requests then.
Is there a way that I can clear this one email address from everyone's cached auto-complete list on exhcange or via Group Policy so that it works for all of them? I don't want to clear all of their auto-complete lists.
Thanks,

As far as I know, there isn't any way to clear only one auto-complete cache from Exchange side or Group policy.
Thanks,

I need help with a migration from Exchange 2010 to 2007

Hi All,
I need help migrating mailboxes from a separate forest / domain using exchange 2010 to our Exchange 2007 SP3 servers.. I am following this procedure:
1. On source server, create a mailbox user, test01.
2. On target server, run the following command to move the AD account:
Prepare-MoveRequest.Ps1 -Identity [email protected] -RemoteForestDomainController FQDN.source.com -RemoteForestCredential $Remote -LocalForestDomainController FQDN.target.com -LocalForestCredential $Local -UseLocalObject -Verbose"
3. Run the ADMT to migrate the password and SID history.
4. Run the following command to move the mailbox:
New-MoveRequest -Identity '[email protected]' -RemoteLegacy -RemoteTargetDatabase DB03 -RemoteGlobalCatalog 'GC01.humongousinsurance.com' -RemoteCredential $Cred -TargetDeliveryDomain 'mail.contoso.com'
(Changed all the details obviously)
It gets to 95% and shows this error

Any ideas what i can do about this?

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
Open the problematic user in AD and check the Email Address. Verify if you can open or edit the x400 address. If no, remove the x400 address and recreate it. If yes, ensure that the name is spelt correctly. After that, continue to move the mailbox and check
the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

"Resend" option is not working for specific user. "The Operation Failed" Exchange 2010 Outlook 2013

Hi Everybody. I have a weird one for you.
I have a user that gets an "operation failed" message whenever trying to use the "resend" option on any email (It's the one right under recall). I had tested up and down on her machine. Exchange 2010 Outlook 2013
Ran in safe mode, recreated her profile, disabled virus scanning, repaired office. (weird, the font just changed sizes on me)
After all of this I tested on other computers, other users seem to be able to "resend" just fine. However her account does not work on any computer I try, internal or external to the network.
It looks more like a profile issue.
She's a very active archivist, so she only has 486MB of space used by her mailbox.
It's well under quota.
It's been really puzzling me.
MCSE 2003, Exchange. MCTS Vista, 7. Administrator of awful, neglected website http://timssims.net

Hi Timssims,
Since there is only one user in the org has this issue, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest asking Outlook Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=outlook
However I also have some suggestions for your reference:
1. If this issue occur on Cached Mode, I suggest turning to Online Mode for testing.
2. Please also paste the detailed error message if "operation failed" is not the
complete information.
3. If still not works after perform operations above (including suggestions from Outlook Forum), I suggest re-creating a new mailbox for the specific user just as Martin suggested.
Thanks

Apple care protection plan for macbook pro with retina display

hi!!! i recently purchased macbook pro with retina display. Im curious about the apple care protection plan to extend the warranty of my macbook. I would just like to ask if the apple care protection plan includes battery replacement w/in the next 2 yrs?

it is like car insurance. You purchase it hoping to never need it. But thank your lucky stars for having it after the sheet metal goes CRUNCH!
BTW, AC needs to be activated while the base warranty is in effect. This means you can wait till the last month or so and avoid having to plonk all the cash up front.
