From Exchange 2013 Cu9 or later versions of Exchange 2013 and Exchange Online (Office 365). When user sends emails using send as over a shared mailbox we have an option of saving sent items on the shared mailboxes. So that all sent items can be stored in a centralized location. make sure all the exchange 2013 servers in the environment running cu9 or later.

Lets see how to do that.

• you cannot login to a shared mailbox directly.
• Sent items are not stored when you do SendAs by default.
• Mostly shared mailboxes are department mailboxes like HR, contact us, info mailboxes.

Creating a Shared Mailbox –

New-Mailbox commonmailbox -Database "*514" -Shared

Providing User2 Full access to the Common Mailbox (for the user to access all the content in that mailbox) –

Add-MailboxPermission Commonmailbox -User user2 -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All

To Remove the Mailbox Permission –

Remove-MailboxPermission -Identity ayla -User "Jim Hance" -AccessRights FullAccess –Inheritance

Providing User2 Send As to the Common Mailbox –

On-premises –

Add-ADPermission -Identity commonmailbox -User user3 -ExtendedRights "Send As"

Exchange Online –

Add-RecipientPermission -Identity "commonmailbox" -Trustee "user3" -AccessRights SendAs

By Default “From” is not enabled in Outlook Web App .  To Enable that – login to owa go for options. Check the options always show “from”

As default am sending as commonmailbox to my CEO.

Common mailbox – send as emails are not storing in sent items by default.

Lets see how to enable that –

set-mailbox commonmailbox -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled $True

Good to know – For SendOnBehalf

set-mailbox commonmailbox -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled

Now you can see the Sent items saved in the Common mailbox

The post Copy Sent Items to Shared Mailboxes and delegates appeared first on CareExchange.in.

• Saving Sent Items can be on Shared Mailboxes Only (Converting Mailbox to Shared to Set-Mailbox MailboxName –Type Shared)

Get-Mailbox test2016-4 | Set-Mailbox -MessageCopyForSendOnBehalfEnabled:$true -MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled:$true

User1 do SendAs on Test2016-4 Mailbox

Now in Test2016-4  Sent Items you can see Items being saved. Which is not by default.

Enabling From in Outlook Web Access After Applying SendAs Permission in Shared mailbox delegation properties.

Mail flow Stopped to External in Queue – SMTP Relay to Active Directory Site

Intermittent Emails are not sent to External World.

Queue Error  –  “451 4.4.0 primary target IP address responded with “451 5.7.3 Cannot achieve Exchange Server authentication.”

Solution  –

Two Mailbox Servers in the Environment .

One of the Exchange Server IP was added to Relay Connectors of the other Exchange Server.
Eventually Breaking the Exchange Authentication . Causing Any email submitted to 2 mailbox server cannot transmit/pass it to the other Exchange server in the environment as its trying to communicate using the relay connector.

–

Removing the Exchange Server IP from the relay connector of the other exchange server . Restarting the Exchange Transport Service from the non-working Exchange server.

Bringing back the exchange server authentication to work. Mail flow came back to normal

The post Mail flow Stopped to External – SMTP Relay to Active Directory Site appeared first on CareExchange.in.

Let me explain about the current situation .

–  Exchange Transport Service Keeps Crashing

“Windows Could not Start the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service on Local Computer. Error 1053 – The Service did not respond to the start or Control request in a timely Fashion.”

– Queue Database Will rapidly increase and Transport service will stop.

Queue Database Default Location –

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue"

And We can see the resource pressure / Back pressure event in Exchange Server  –

I strongly feel if we can understand the event properly and spend some time on it . We can reach a solution . or any Transport Service Event if you don’t receive this one.

Log Name:      Application
Source:        MSExchangeTransport
Event ID:      15004
Task Category: ResourceManager
Level:         Warning
Computer:      EX01.careexchange.in
Description:
The resource pressure increased from Medium to High.

The following resources are under pressure:
Version buckets = 366 [High] [Normal=80 Medium=120 High=200]

The following components are disabled due to back pressure:
Inbound mail submission from Hub Transport servers
Inbound mail submission from the Internet
Mail submission from Pickup directory
Mail submission from Replay directory
Mail submission from Mailbox server
Mail delivery to remote domains
Content aggregation
Mail resubmission from the Message Resubmission component.
Mail resubmission from the Shadow Redundancy Component

The following resources are in normal state:
Queue database and disk space (“C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue\mail.que”) = 77% [Normal] [Normal=95% Medium=97% High=99%] Queue database logging disk space (“C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue\”) = 77% [Normal] [Normal=95% Medium=97% High=99%] Private bytes = 5% [Normal] [Normal=71% Medium=73% High=75%] Physical memory load = 64% [limit is 94% to start dehydrating messages.] Submission Queue = 0 [Normal] [Normal=2000 Medium=4000 High=10000] Temporary Storage disk space (“C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Temp”) = 77% [Normal] [Normal=95% Medium=97% High=99%]

Aspects of the Event in my case – Things are Normal – Its not the disk or disk space issue .

if things are not normal below – Free some space or – Change the location of the queue database

Queue database and disk space = 77% [Normal]

Queue database logging disk space  = 77% [Normal]

Private bytes = 5% [Normal]

Physical memory load = 64% [Normal]

Submission Queue = 0 [Normal] [Normal]

Temporary Storage disk space = 77% [Normal]

“

Version buckets = 366 [High]

“

Restarted the server. Still no change.

Stopped the Transport Services – Cleared the Queue Folder data to a different location and started the service. (Risk of Losing Emails if Queue is not 0 or Not Processed Mails)

Now we have tried recreating the transport Database. still Same issue seems to be re-appearing. (Queue Database will rapidly increase and transport service will stop)

Now we need to check what’s been getting submitted to the transport database making it grow large.

Lets see Message Tracking Logs –

get-messagetrackinglog -resultsize unlimited -start "01/12/2017 00:00:00" | select sender, subject, recipients,totalbytes | where {$_.totalbytes -gt "1048576"}

Oh Shit. Some Crazy Guy Sent a 2 GB file as attachment. Oh wait . Why Exchange Allowed it ?

Get-TransportConfig | fl

MaxSendSize – unlimited

MaxReceiveSize – unlimited

Set-TransportConfig –Maxsendsize 30MB –MaxReceiveSize 30MB

Restarted Transport Service.

Now Seeing the user Mailbox – Respective Message is not in the Outbox. Respective Message is in the Sent Item

Disabled the Mailbox Temporarily – Before Disabling always –  Make sure Deleted Mailboxes retention is not Set to 0” in Mailbox Database properties.

Cleared Transport Database and temp folder and things are now normal .

Now Waited for few hours. Re-Enabled the mailbox

Things were normal . Removed the 2 GB email anyways from the mailbox – Don’t ask me why I removed. but I removed it.

At last it was some movie clips . Sent by User.  Be curious about the Max Send Size . It can really Screw up things big time. Can’t blame the end user.

Solution –

• Creating a new Exch Auth Certificate.  Resolved the issue.

Ran below , Saw Auth certificate missing.

Get-ExchangeCertificate (Get-AuthConfig).CurrentCertificateThumbprint

Created a new certificate . Change to your default domain on the end of the command.

New-ExchangeCertificate -KeySize 2048 -PrivateKeyExportable $true -SubjectName "cn=Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -FriendlyName "Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate" -DomainName "careexchange.in"

Say no to Replace SMTP Certificate.

Run

Set-AuthConfig –PublishCertificate

Set-AuthConfig –ClearPreviousCertificate

Then run

Get-ExchangeCertificate (Get-AuthConfig).CurrentCertificateThumbprint

verified auth certificate created successfully.  Do iis reset.  wait for few hours if its a large environment. it should resolve the same.

Run below if still issue persists.

• Locate bin folder and run updatecas.ps1 and updateConfigfile.ps1 resolved for few others.

Simple booking system Requirement –

• Visit to a location.
• Meeting should be auto accepted.
• Should not be Double booked.
• Should inform the user that the response is from a automated booking system.
• One Delegate should be able to Add/Move/Cancel the meeting

Lets see how to create it –  Login to EAC and Create a Room Mailbox

AutoAccept is set below –

• Should not be Double booked.

Uncheck – Allow Repeating Meetings

• Should inform the user that the response is from a automated booking system.

Add a note — Response is provided by our automated booking system.

One Delegate should be able to Add/Move/Cancel the meeting

Add full access – to the delegate as below.

Now delegate can add the calendar of this mailbox to his outlook and manage it .

Any Meeting request sent to the resource mailbox

The post Creating a simple booking system using Resource mailbox in Exchange 2013 appeared first on azure365pro.com.

Lets see what we need to check.

• Check whether CPU/RAM is overloaded on Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2013.If its overloaded add some CPU/RAM or check any unwanted process is taking up the CPU ,try to overcome the load.
• Check Any backups running – Stop them
• Check Any backup service taking too much load on the server.
• Any File level anti virus running on the server (disable them)

Now verified Both the source and target is not overloaded. what’s next ?

Check the event viewer on both the Source and target machines. Verify Mailbox Replication Service doesn’t throw any error.If there is any error try to fix it.

Now check what’s really happening in the mailbox move.

Open Exchange Management Shell –

Get-MoveRequest | Get-MoveRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | fl Id*,Report

To export all the Move mailbox report details to CSV –

Get-MoveRequest | Get-MoveRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | fl >C:\Movelogs.txt

You can find some logs like this –

8/7/2015 7:34:06 AM [CAREEXCHANGE] Relinquishing job because of large delays due to unfavourable server health or budget limitations.

Try disabling on the NICs on both the ends –

netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

If this doesn’t help.

Check whether NIC on both the machines are using updated drivers ,Else Check on the the Vendor site for any new drivers.

You can go to device manager to view these details. Always restart the server after updating the NIC drivers.

Try downloading the latest driver if available and update it.

Still no luck and you didn’t  see any great improvement.

Browse for the below file on Exchange 2013 –

C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\MsExchangeMailboxReplication.exe.config

Try Changing – ExportBufferSizeKB = 10240 from 512

Restart Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication Service.

See what happens.

I can guarantee this should resolve 95 % of slow mailbox migration issues.

We should look for options when “Exchange Databases are not mounting”

• Good backup Available.
• No Backup – Exchange mailbox Databases are down.
• Mounting a blank database – Keeping the messaging alive until you repair the exchange databases.
• Soft recovery and Repairing the Exchange Databases
• Recovery Databases

Have tried to include as much scenarios as possible.

Good backup Available

Best option is restoring from Backup software’s like Symantec which is the best option to have minimal downtime. but make sure you have to retain the live data whichever is on the existing drives – As you will lose data from the Backup taken time to the Storage Failure time.

if you have a good backup First Restore from the Backup get the production running. Then you can create a recovery database and repair the broken databases and merge with your production.

you may have to take a copy or rename the database file before restoring using the backup software as they can overwrite the databases files residing on the existing drives.

No Backup – Exchange mailbox Databases are down

Some Organizations start depending on DAG . Backup less solutions . Still there are chances where your Database didn’t failover due to a network issue or various other reasons. Try forcing the failover. Check you can access the storage and bring that back. The stability of the databases have increased where the server or storage undergoes a intermittent failure new exchange version cure themselves in few scenarios when it comes to database copies.

If you don’t have a backup , repairing the existing databases takes time approximately 5-10 Gb per hour.Totally depends on the IOPS/processor. if you don’t have a backup always take a copy of the broken databases. so that even if your repair is interrupted you don’t lose hope,you can copy it again for recovery purposes . Before that,There are various ways to get your databases healthy, 5-10 gb per hour is the worst case scenario.

You got to check the health of the database , Where Exchange cannot connect back to a database again . if its not gracefully dismounted or disconnected from storage or server or anti virus removes sometimes hold the log files mistakenly. lets see how to check the health of the databases.

Open powershell

Locate to the .\eseutil.exe,Default location –

Cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin"

To Check the status of the Exchange database :

locate to the bin folder to check the health of the exchange database

.\eseutil.exe /mh "D:\log files\Mailbox Database\Mailbox Database.edb"

there are two results, It may say clean or dirty , will go through both.

showing CLEAN SHUTDOWN –  Database is healthy and its in a good shape. It couldn’t mount as its not able to understand the existing sequence of the log files.

Removing all the logs files from the logs files location and Mount the database. It should generate a new series of log files and mounting the database gracefully.

To get log file Location –

Get-mailboxdatabase | fl Name,*path

To force mount the databases –

Get-mailboxdatabase "Database Name" | Mount-database –Force

showing Dirty SHUTDOWN –  Database is not in a good state (worst case) , if the database sizes are massive, you cannot keep the environment down until the databases are repaired. here is the trick of mounting a blank database to keep the environment active going with a blank mailbox. and repair the broken databases and swap it again then merge them. if you don’t want to mount a blank database.skip it.

Mounting a blank database – Keeping the messaging alive until you repair the exchange databases.

• Stop Microsoft Exchange Search Service
• Stop Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller Service

Now you can rename the database folder. Create a identical folder.

Mounting the store will force the creation of an empty database.

As soon as you mount a blank database in the messaging environment. Outlook will prompt for a restart. Once the outlook is restarted.

Users get an option of getting into Temporary mailbox to send and receive emails or Use Old data to look their cached PST ,if they are in Outlook cache mode.

if health check shows dirty –

.\eseutil.exe /mh "D:\log files\Mailbox Database\Mailbox Database.edb"

Lets see how we can handle the broken database. you can see a row called “logs required”

Check the required logs are available or not . in my case its 6079 – 6104

Check if you have the logs available

if you have the logs available – Make sure you got the .chk file in the same location. If you don’t have the required log files skip this step.

You can try running the soft recovery –  (/r)

Have the database and log files in the default location

If you cannot have in the default location use /D for database location , /s for checkpoint file location , /l for log file location.

if you don’t mention it. it will take the default location

“/a” is for – even if some log files are missing it will try to get the database to a good shape (Data loss will be there)

E01 – Go to the log file location check how it starts E00 or E01 or E02

.\eseutil.exe /r e01 /l "D:\log files\Mailbox Database" /d "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Mailbox Database\Mailbox Database.edb" /a

Check the status after the soft Recovery – If its showing Clean Shutdown – You can mount the database, if it doesnt , you can always move the logs and try mounting it as the databases are in clean shutdown.

If its not in Clean shutdown . Even after soft recovery Process

Repairing the Exchange Database : (5 to 8 GB /hour) (Exchange 2010 and later versions are much faster)

.\eseutil.exe /p "D:\Databases\Mailbox Database\Mailbox Database.edb"

It will repair the database with 98% of success – Where data loss will be there in the corrupted portion of it. Mostly its minimal.

Once the repair process is completed.We can see the database to Clean shutdown .

I would recommend to get the mailboxes moved to a different database as soon as possible , to be on a safer side. also the Microsoft supportability point of view.

Recovery Databases  –

when its comes to recovery databases,you have to understand about database swapping as well.if you repaired a 500 Gb databases and your temporary database is 5 gb. there is no point in merging 500 gb recovery database with 5 gb temporary database. Also the outlook will always wants the old database back in place to overcome the initial prompt when you have a temporary database mounted. As you dismount the blank database and mount the repaired database as primary and smaller database on the recovery . So that merging can be done quicker and simpler.

Creating a recovery database with existing database –

New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RDB -Server mail -EdbFilePath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Recover\Mailbox Database.edb" -LogFolderPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Recover"

Merge them for one mailbox –

New-MaiboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase "RDB" -SourceStoreMailbox "vaishika sathesh" -TargetMailbox vaishika@careexchanged.in

If you have different users with same display name – below command should help you.

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase "RDB" -SourceStoreMailbox 3965757c-f9f4-4c8d-a8c2-56a410257b52 -TargetMailbox vaishika@careexchanged.in -SkipMerging StorageProviderForSource

Merge them in bulk –

Foreach ($mailbox in Get-MailboxStatistics -Database RDB)

{

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase RDB -SourceStoreMailbox $mailbox.DisplayName -TargetMailbox $mailbox.DisplayName

}

Known Errors :

he call to 'net.tcp://mail.careexchange.in/Microsoft.Exchange.MailboxReplicationService mail.careexchange.in(15.0.620.24 caps:3F)'
failed. Error details: must be logging in with GUIDs, not legDN

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [New-MailboxRestoreRequest], CommunicationErrorTransientException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 436EF2E5,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.NewMailboxRestoreRequest

Resolution –

Use

Foreach($mailbox in Get-MailboxStatistics -Database RDB)

{

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase RDB -SourceStoreMailbox $mailbox.DisplayName -TargetMailbox $mailbox.DisplayName -SkipMerging StorageProviderForSource

}

Now Consider Database Repair Failed –

Mount a blank database.

Go to the cached outlook – Export to PST via Outlook.

Create a new Outlook Profile – Import PST

Other options – you can consider 3rd party solutions for EDB to PST conversion.
After repairing the databases if users have issues in accessing folder you can run a repair on the mailbox

New-MailboxRepairRequest -Mailbox vaishika@careexchanged.in -CorruptionType ProvisionedFolder,SearchFolder,AggregateCounts,Folderview

Known issues –
