Winmail.dat attachments from Exchange 2013 on premi and Hosted Office 365 set up.

Hello TechNet,
I have an on going situation with winmail.dat attachments. I currently have a ticket open with Microsoft, but I want to see if anyone has personal experience with this. Here is the rundown.
We have migrated from an Exchange 2007 server to Exchange 2013 for the migration to Office 365. We also have a hosted Office 365 server with half of our mailboxes in the cloud and half of them on the Exchange 2013 on premise server.
The current settings for TNEFEnabled:
On Premise: False
Hosted: False
Whenever a internal email with a calendar invite(exchange calendar, go to meeting) goes out to any external domain the recipients receive winmail.dat.
When settings for TNEFEnabled On Premise and Hosted are set to true both calendar invites and PDF, Excel attachments etc the recipients receive winmail.dat.
When speaking with Microsoft about this issue. The representative was watching me through a LogMeIn session as I set both TNEFEnabled false on both on Premise and Hosted.
This is really frustrating as many employees depend on this to be fully functional, and to be honest am tired of dealing with this.
I need help.
-Ben

I am having the same issue.
Luckily I have only migrated my own mailbox to office365.
Tried both true and false TNEFEnabled on both onpremise and office365 via powershell and confirmed that both have been applied.
If I send the email as a plain text then the attachment works ok. If I send it as HTML then I get winmail.dat.
The above KB doesnt really help me, sending plain text emails is like going back to the dark ages!
I am sending from outlook to outlook (I send from my external email address, to my work email address and visa-versa)
If someone with an onpremise mailbox sends me an email, the attachment works ok.
If someone sends me an attachment via hotmail, the attachment works ok.
It seems to only effect emails I send to myself through outlook, i am sending it through a POP3 account to our onpremise exchange 2010 which forwards the email to office365

Question: how to read winmail.dat attachments from others

Based on a recommendation from an AppleCare rep, I downloaded "TNEF's Enough" so I could read winmail.dat attachments from others. It won't work and when I called again, I was told AppleCare doesn't support third party apps. How do I activate it? I tried double clicking on it and nothing happened.

One user receiving WINMAIL.DAT attachments from one or two domains

I have a single user in our organization that is RECEIVING WINMAIL.DAT attachments which contain PDF's from only one or two domains external to the organization.
Let me be clear that he is not sending out WINMAIL.DAT attachments to anyone. I have tested sending him RTF emails with a PDF attachment from an external address and he is receiving them just fine. We are running two Exchange 2013 servers in
HA configuration and this user is using Outlook 2010 for his email client. If he looks at these messages in OWA, they still have the WINMAIL.DAT attachment within OWA. I cannot find an answer for this anywhere, and this is not related to disabling TNEF on
our exchange servers. Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate the assistance.
Thanks,
Dean

Hi
Did you try this article -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061/en-us
If the above article did not help then you can try the following
1) Create an external contact for sender email address from whom the email is sent to the affected user.
Run the below command for that sender external contact
Set-MailContact "External Contact" -UseMapiRichTexFormat Never
Ask the user to send email once again to that affected recipient and see if it still occurs.
Most likely the latter should fix your problem.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question.That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Error Extending 2012 R2 AD Schema for Exchange 2013 RTM/CU6/CU7 (for Office 365 attributes)

Hello all,
I am a sysadmin at a 3 campus school, and am trying to extend our AD schema to include Exchange 2013 attributes so that we can configure groups synced to Office 365 using DirSync. However it keeps failing at the same point each time.
I have tried with RTM first, and then CU6, but I keep getting the same error and am unsure how to fix it.
"repadmin /showrepl" says that our 3 DCs are replicating with no issues, and I'm trying to extend the schema using an "Enterprise Admin"/"Schema Admin" account on our schema master DC.
Our domain/forest functional level is Server 2008R2, and we do not have an Exchange server set up already - if that helps.
The PowerShell error is:
PS C:\Users\rbbr\Desktop\Exchange> .\setup /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

The extended server error is:

An error has occurred in the program
The schema attribute "CN=ms-DS-GeoCoordinates-Altitude,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=kurnai,DC=lan" does exist in the schema, but I don't know what to do or where to go from here.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I just tried .\setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:kurnaicollege /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms, and got the exact same error as above.
Is there a way to delete the offending schema attributes, or to force its overwrite or something?
EDIT: I am also getting these eventvwr errors when running /PrepareAD, if it helps:

Winmail.dat Attachments are received whether TNEF is disabled or not

Hi,
we've got some issues when sending emails to some linux recipients, that attachments or s/mime signed emails are converted to the dreaded winmail.dat attachements.
On Exchange 2010 i've just configured the corresponding remote domain (or the default one) to disable TNEF sending to this mail domain.
Apparently with Exchange 2013 this setting does not work anymore. With setting the parameter "TNEFenabled" to $false, the recipients still get winmail.dat attachments.
do you have any idea how to work this out?
Kind regards,
Peter

Hi,
attached you will find the headers of an email which got that issue.

Outlook 2007 Clients receiving winmail.dat attachments

I am running Exchange 2007 on Windows 2003 R2 64 bit. End users run Outlook 2007 on XP sp2 machines. Users randomly receive winmail.dat attachments in their email. Does anyone know how to fix this on Exchange 2007?

That is what I find most interesting, is what Microsoft has released regarding winmail.dat files. It seemed to me that it was the mail compliance of the recipient that was causing these files to appear. Only recently have I found more discussion on the topic on other forums, including here, showing that it is also caused by other situational basis other than the recipients method of viewing the email...unless I misunderstood all along and it would seem so. Because in my mind, it would make more sense if the recipients mail server is the cause of the issue, not so much the recipient. if the recipients mail server does not interpret TNEF than could all their customers be experiencing this? i must assume this because it would mean that if the recipient accesses their email via a webmail client that does not support TNEF, than they receive a winmail.dat...however if they check their email again from outlook or someform of email program that does understand TNEF, than shouldn't the email and attachments show up properly? It is my experience that they do not. That is how I began thinking that it must be the mail server of the recipient that is causing this.
I tried setting the 1 user's outlook to send only plain text...I am waiting to hear the results, but they were already set to send in HTML only. By my understanding is that TNEF is created only when RTF is used for outbound email, and HTML and Plain Text do not create TNEF...punch me if I'm wrong

I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the phone. When I check e-mail via my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the iphone. When I check the same e-mail on my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

How do i open winmail.dat attachments in mail

How do i open winmail.dat attachments in mail ?

Having problems with Winmail.dat attachments? This is really Windows problem but their hubris will not allow them to admit it.
Windows does have a global fix for this problem but it is not a general patch - in their KB there is a fix for Exchange servers which cause the winmail.dat problem but most users don't know about it or have it implemented.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053http://
Here is a solution that Apple users can get for $30. An Austrian program and APP called Letter Opener http://www.creativeinaustria.com/http:// is the solution to seamlessly opening Winmail.dat files.

Winmail.dat attachments

We are running a Tiger Server for our mail service, several of our business clients keep on sending us winmail.dat attachments, I know why these are generated and that my users can use TNEFenough but they're irritated by the whole situation !! mutterings about using PCs (I think crap) ! is there anything I can do at the mail Server to remove this encoding so that my users receive ordinary attachments ? the senders aren't interested in resolving what to them isn;t a problem !

Changing anything with Outlook in this regard affects messages sent with Outlook only, not with messages sent by the iPhone's Mail client. And if you are sending messages with your Exchange account using the Exchange SMTP server with the iPhone's Mail client, changing your Gmail account settings won't have any affect on this.
Are you sending messages with your Exchange account and SMTP server, or with your Gmail account and SMTP server?
I'm not sure how an ATT######.dat file is included when not using AT&T's SMTP server to send the message - the message is being sent by the Exchange SMTP server, but I'm not sure how such a file would be included regardless.
If you are also accessing your Gmail account with the iPhone's Mail client, does the same occur when sending messages with your Gmail account and SMTP server?
If not, the problem lies with the SMTP server used to send messages with your Exchange account or at the Exchange server.

Cannot send mail from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2007

I have an
Exchange 2007server with all roles in the same server (Version:
08.03.0327.001 ) on a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have now installed two Exchange 2013 servers both with CAS and MBX roles on Windows 2012 servers
(full patched). There is also a DAG between the new servers. All mail goes through a BorderWare besides the internal mail.
I can send mail from both environments to the Internet. I can also send internal mail from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.But the problem is that I am unable to send from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2007. I've debugged, but not solved the problem and there are
few articles on the Internet.
Any suggestions?

These two sentences are in conflict : "I can also send
internal mail
from Exchange
2007 to
Exchange 2013. But
the problem is
that I am unable
to send from Exchange
2007 to
Exchange 2013. "
Can you describe what is your real problem? Flow from E2007->E2013? Or vice versa?
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Damir

Outlook 2011 for Mac users must click send/receive to get new mail from exchange 2013 server

I recently switched our primary CAS servers over from a single exchange 2010 cas/mailbox/hub server to a couple new exchange 2013 CAS/Mailbox servers. Exchange 2013 has cu3, and is hosted on windows server 2012. Anyone who has their mailbox hosted
on one of these exchange 2013 servers has an issue where they must click the send/receive button to get new messages downloaded to their client. This is only the case for outlook 2011 for mac client. Activesync clients, mac mail, OWA, and Outlook 2010/13
all behave normally.
Where can I look or what can I check to troubleshoot this issue?

Hi,
Any good news from the Mac Forum?

How to open winmail.dat attachments???

Hi, this is my first use of this discussion forum, so here goes: Can anyone tell me how to open attachments I am sent on a regular basis that are winmail.dat attachments???

Search Google for "winmail.dat mac" and you'll find many solutions
Also note that this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to your issue, so you should really post search/post your question in the Mac OS X forums

Getting error when I try to remove eum secondary email address from the Mailbox from Exchange 2013 server

Getting error when I try to remove eum secondary email address from the Mailbox from Exchange 2013 server. The command works if you issue directly from the server exchange shell.
I open the remote power shell to the exchange server 2013.
Issue the following commands and getting the following error.
$mailbox = Get-Mailbox -Identity testuser$mailbox.EmailAddresses -= "eum:50004;phone-context=telExt5digits.lync5.com"Then getting the following error:Method invocation failed because [System.Collections.ArrayList] doesn't contain a method named 'op_Subtraction'.
At line:1 char:27

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (op_Subtraction:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFoundHelp!

Now for an answer - your remote session doesn't have the same object you have on the server itself. Notice it says this is an array list, not a ProxyAddressCollection. If you need to work around this, you'll need to massage the addresses another
way that the system will accept. I'd try the following:
$NewAddresses = $mailboxEmailAddresses | ? { $_ -notlike "eum:50004;phone-context=telExt5digits.lync5.com" }
See what you get in the $NewAddresses variable when you do this.

Hi,
According to the error message, it is highly likely caused by insufficient permission.
Please verify that your user account is member of Exchange administrators group and not limit by RBAC, than try again to see if this works.
If the issue continues, run the command below to uninstall the product:
msiexec.exe /X {code 4934d1ea-be46-48b1-8847-f1af20e892c1}
Msiexec (command-line options):
