MS Exchange 2013 server SMTP problem

$
0
0
Hi,

Don't know if anyone got this problem yet but I am currently testing a migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 (in a lab) and I have a SMTP issue.

First I had one w2k8r2 domain controller and one w2k8r2 member with Exchange 2010 on it (with one valid domain and ssl certificate). No Edge Transport Server.

I recently added a Windows 2012 server and Exchange 2013 server in this lab domain and started migrating things to see if everything worked (I moved the SSL certificate, made the Exchange 2013 receive connectors active and also moved a mailbox).

However, there is one item that eludes me at this point: the new server can't send emails out (but it receives just fine).

On my send connector, I removed the Exchange 2010 server and added the new Exchange 2013 server instead (all other values remained the same).

Now when I try to send emails out with this new Exchange 2013 connector, I am getting a message that says (in the Exchange Queue Viewer): "A local loop was detected".

So I started looking at the problem deeper and found out that the transport role is not installed (mailbox, client access and management tools are installed).

How do I add the role?

Thanks.

Exchange 2010 - The certificate status could not be determined because the revocation check failed.

$
0
0

I have tried everything I have found online to get my DigiCert to work.

I have exported the cert and imported it into my child domains and they look perfect.

It is just my parent domain having issues.

netsh winhttp show proxy

does show my correct proxy server for http and https and port 8080

I have tried name, FQDN and IP address.

In the Bypass-list I have tried none, *.domain.com, and a list of all domains and child domains in my forest.

I have flushed the cache

certutil -urlcache crl delete
certutil -urlcache ocsp delete

and rebooted the Exchange 2010 (Windows 2008 R2) server

No matter what, I still see in my Server Configuration for the parent domain's DigiCert cert the message

The certificate status could not be determined because the revocation check failed.

with a red X on the left hand icon.  Again, Child domains all say "The certificate is valid for Exchange Server usage."

Note: In spite of having the red X, I was able to assign via EMS the services.

Webmail works fine.  Outlook Anywhere fails... I suspect it is due to my red X problem.

Suggestions?

Thanks in Advance

Jim.

Exchange 2010 does not relay email if one recipient among many is invalid

$

We have an application server that uses our Exchange infrastructure to relay emails to our internal users.  Every thing worked great in Exchange 2003, but since upgrading to Exchange 2010, we've experienced an unexpected issue.  The emails sent from the application server have multiple recipients.  If all recipients are valid, Exchange with relay the email message.  However, if one of the recipients is invalid, the email will be not be relayed to any recipient.  Interstingly, the message sent back to the application server indicates that the exchange server accepted the message.  I have searched my transport logs and cannot find the message.  We didn't start having this issue till we upgraded to Exchange 2010 so I'm hoping it's just some switch I need to make on Exchange 2010.

Sending emails as another person unknowingly - issue

We have a very weird issue where when user (A) sends an email it shows up as user (B) is the sender. This issue seems to be intermittent and doesn't happen all the time. I have checked both full access and send as permissions on both of the user’s account and none of them have access to each other’s account.

User (A) tested sending emails from Outlook to himself and it was showing the email came from user (B).

Anyone has any idea why t this is happening?

Cannot remove expired Exchange DigiCert 2010 certificate

$

Hi all,

I recently successfully installed a Digicert certificate on our Exchange 2010 server as the old Digicert certificate was about to expire. I have verified that the certificate is installed correctly using the Digicert certificate Installation diagnostics tool and all  outlook and owa connectivity is good and using the new certificate.

The problem I am having is I cannot remove the old certificate from the server. This is the error:

These are the certs installed:

As you can see, the valid cert has all the required services, so I don't know why I can't remove the old certificate(s). Both the Exchange servers have been rebooted.

Any ideas / suggestions would be greatfully received.

Thanks

Exchange 2013 Enterprise Shared mailboxes - messages marked as "Read"

$
0
0

Created a shared mailbox by team name (Example Team Rolex) in that team there are three users (eg Roger, Ben and Mike) who are accessing team shared mailbox to read the mail of their particular team. 

  1. The problem which we are facing is, say for example
  2.  One user “Roger” sends mail to the team shared mailbox.
  3. The second user "Ben" reads that email.
  4. The MAJOR issue here is that the email is showing as read. So the third user is not aware if there is any new email in his list. He has actually not ready the email but since the email has been read by one of the team member’s it automatically marks it as READ which is WRONG. The mail should be marked as read, only when the user reads it and not when anyone one else from his team reads it.

Been a very troubling issue since long, need a proper workaround.


Exchange 2013 CU1 multi site mail flow sanity check

$
0
0

I have 4 sites
Each site has 2 Hyper-V virtual servers, 1 Mailbox and 1 CAS server, so that's 4 CAS and 4 Mailbox servers across the organisation.

I have created a DAG and each server holds a copy of each others database.
I also have a public folder database that is replicated across all sites.
I also have Archive databases that are not replicated.

I have 4 send connectors.  Each send connector has one of the Mailbox servers listed as the source server in the scoping option

Each server is running Windows 2012
Each CAS server is a DC
The domain is flat, i.e. all servers are in company.com.  I think this could be the root of the issue.  Can someone tell me if I should have created UK.company.com, HK.company.com, NY.company.com etc?  What would be the implications of amending the AD now?

My sites are:

NY, UK, HK, and NJ

I have a couple of issues.

1. Mail sent from the NY site is routed out via UK or HK, never NY.  Although logging is on for all send connectors, I see no logs for sending on the NY servers.
Mail sent from the UK site comes from either HK or UK, and mail sent from HK seems to predominantly come from HK, but sometimes UK.
What I'd like is for all email originating from a user who resides in HK to be sent from the HK servers, UK from UK etc etc
 

2. Some internal mail for distribution groups seem to bounce around the servers going back and fourth before they reach their destination.  e.g. email for group@company.com comes in to HK server, is sent to NJ server, then back to HK server where the mailboxes for all of the members of that group reside.
How would I go about getting an easy to read log of WHY incoming email bounces around?

I hope my description of what I have is sufficient and that someone out there can smack me over the head with the proper way of doing things.

Cheers

Exchange 2013 Address Book Policy Routing Agent Issue with Mailboxes Hidden From the Address Lists

$

When the AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled attribute is enabled by running Set-TransportConfig -AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled $True, I am having an issue with delivery failures for mailboxes that are hidden from the address book. I receive the following undeliverable message:

'532 5.3.2 STOREDRV.Deliver; Missing or bad StoreDriver MDB properties'

If I disable the AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled attribute by running Set-TransportConfig -AddressBookPolicyRoutingEnabled $False then emails are successfully delivered to the mailbox that is hidden from the address list.

I followed the installation instructions here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj907308(v=exchg.150).aspx

Below is the status of the ABP Routing Agent on my Hub Transport/Mailbox server:

Enabled: True

AssemblyPath: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\agents\AddressBookPolicyRoutingAgent\Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.AddressBookPolicyRoutingAgent.dll

Has anyone else run into this issue yet?

Exchange 2013 cu2 Setup - transport server listening only on localhost

$

Hello, this morning I've launched the Cu2 setup on my Exchange 2103 Cu1 Server (single server on W2012).

The prereq check told me that I had to remove non-US language packs, so I canceled the setup.

I restarted the transport service. About 30 minutes later, users started reporting that the mail flow was broken: we couldn't receive or send mail.

After some checks, I discovered that the server is no longer accepting connection on port tcp 25 and the only queue visible in queue manager is the submission queue.

Trying to telnet exchange server on port 25 tcp fails, the server immediately closes the connection.

I don't know how to restore the transport server functionality.


Coexistence of Exchange 2013 with another mailserver (kerio)

$
0
0

We have an existing Kerio Connect with over 1k users. We want to migrate to Exchange 2013, but in a stage phase (groups of users).

Kerio server is configured to manage contoso.com domain and we installed EXCH2013 to manage contoso.com as well.

So the questions are:

Is there a procedure to allow coexistence of two mailserver managing the same contoso.com domain? An example of a desired setup will be to install a third party software (example postfix or sendmail) as a "smarthost". I know how to create rules in sendmail such as "forward mail from/to user@contoso.com to server x". Doing this I can solve the problem of internet incoming mails.

There is a section on Kerio that you can tell if a user is not is its database then forward it to some other host.

However my issue is what happens with emails flowing between kerio and exchange? How can I tell exchange that when a user@contoso.com is not on his database, then forward it to the smarthost or kerio?

Migrating 1k users at once is not an option. Current users in kerio use IMAP with outlook 2007/2010 and Kerio web.

Retired Exchange 2003 Server needed to access Archive so disable send receive?

Hello,

Sorry for posting on the mx 2013 forum, there was no prior versions available in the choices.

We recently retired our Exchange 2003 server and migrated our email to the web with an Exchange Hosting Provider.  However we have archived data on a Nearpoint server that needs exchange to open archived emails.  We had the server running, however a user was still sending through it, leaving us to be blacklisted on one of the spam control sites.  So we shut down the exchange service.

I'd like to reactive the service but want to prevent the sending issue.  If I Disable Outbound Mail in ESM at the server queue, and remove the in out records on the firewall for the server would that take care of it?  Want to be sure before we get blacklisted again.

Thanks,

Hello,

Please help, basically we have the same issue as the following post, only the proposed answer is not the final answer and the issue persists:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-AU/exchangesvrsecuremessaging/thread/76f4b8b5-7cfe-41c1-a3ef-47aa036612a6

Environment:
Windows Server 2012 DC edition
Exchange 2013 Std edition
Outlook 2013 (Office 2013 Std edition)
No Malware protection enabled within Exchange 2013
No Antivirus application on Windows Server

Issue:
Same problem experienced with two separate installations, random e-mails are stuck in the Exchange Submission Queue with Delivery Type Undefined and retry error "A storage transient failure has occurred during content conversion."

Workaround:
Running the following command will clear the queue but causes adverse effects:

Get-RemoteDomain|Set-RemoteDomain-TNEFEnabled $true


Would be great if Microsoft could help out here, we are sort of stretching relationships with our customers..

Exchange 2013 can't receive mail - 451 4.7.0 Temporary server error

$
0

Hello all,

It seems like a common problem, but I still have not found my solution. So this is a fresh Exchange 2013 installation on top of a Windows 2012 box (also fresh install) and in a brand new domain (only one other machine running the DC/DNS role). The DC is configured with a forwarder to the Google's DNS and it is able to resolve. The EX is set to use the DC as a DNS server and it is able to resolve. Obviously there is something wrong with the DNS. 

I've tried:

- disabling/enabling IPv6 on the EX

- setting the DNS server setting in Network properties on the DC with an internal address 192.168.xx.xx instead of 127.0.0.1

- setting only one DNS server on the EX (the DC), no secondary DNS

- disabling every other NIC. They have only one now.

- adding the 192.168.xx.xx address in the hosts file of the EX for the name ex1 and ex1.mydomain.com

Still I experience the same problem.

Any more ideas that could possible help me?

Thank you in advance!

Exchange 2013 cross-site mail flow

$

Hi,

I have 1 AD forest, 1 AD domain and 3 AD sites with each containing Exchange 2013 CU2 servers (2 x Client Access in HA setup, 3 x Mailbox Servers in cross-site DAG mode).

This is a fresh install with mailboxes moved in from old Exchange 2010 cluster (cross-forest remote move).

I'm having hard time tracking down why our e-mails get stuck on our internet-facing site. Mail flow is not working in between any of our AD sites. TLS has been disabled via dedicated receive connectors since we were getting TLS negotiation failures cross sites (X-ANONYMOUSTLS works within site but not across our VPN tunnels).

Intra-org protocol logging reveals no errors. Mail queues last error field is empty. Nothing gets logged on server event logs.

I'm getting desperate after banging my head to the wall for three days :)

Third-party certificates for Edge and Mailbox servers (Exchange 2010SP3)

$

Hi

My Exchange enviroment consist with two exchange 2010 servers: Edge Server and Mailbox server. I use internal domaincorp.domain1.pl and external domain domain2.pl (specially for e-mails). Edge server name is: edge.corp.domain1.pl and mailoboxserver is mailbox.corp.domain1.pl (mail.domain2.plfrom internet). User connetct to Pop3, OWA, by mail.domain2.pl DNS address and the main e-mail address isxxx@domain2.pl.

So for that enviroment should I buy two certificates for edge and mailbox server or only one for mailbox server?

How do I create request certificates?

For Edge:

New-ExchangeCertificate -GenerateReques -SubjectName "c=PL, o=company, cn=mail.domain2.pl" -DomainName mail.domain2.pl,edge.corp.domain1.pl -PrivateKeyExportable $true

Is it correct request for Edge server certificate?

For mailboxserver should I create request certificate using Wizard and mark "Use mutual TLS to help secure Internet mail" and "Use Hub Transport server for POP/IMAP client submission"?

Thank you very much for help

Tomasz
