Exchange 2013 Retention Policy differences between Std and Ent. User CALs

$
0
0

I have been reading about the differences between Standard and Enterprise User CALs for Exchange 2013 and I understand most of it.  However, I am having a hard time understanding what I can and cannot do regarding retention policies.  Below is my interpretation of the difference. Can someone correct, confirm, or provide a good reference for me so that I can properly understand & explain the real differences in retention policies to management.

  1.       Retention policies can only be used on the default folders of a mailbox. Those include the Inbox (root of inbox only and not folders inside inbox), Deleted, Sent, & Drafts folders only. Any non-default created folder inside of a mailbox cannot be assigned to a retention policy.
  2.       Because Exchange 2013 In Place Archive is only an option for Enterprise CALs we cannot use Auto-archiving in the retention policies. We can only set the retention policies to delete the messages that meet the defined age requirement within only a portion of a persons mailbox.

Running exchange 2013 cu2 and exchange 2010 sp3 in mixed mode. external dns pointing to 2013 server, and OWA is redirecting to users still on exchange 2010. Woking fine. But if a 2010 mailbox want to set Out of Office nothing happens. Seems like Owa to owa redirection is working but not to ecp.

Anyone knows what to do?

Trying to send email to send email from dmz to remote server

Here is the setup. I have a web server on a DMZ that I am trying to send email from an app. I have the IP of the DMZ server in a receive connector set up to allow anonymous users to connect. When I try to test connectivity to the remote mail server using"telnet mail.domain.com 25" the session is blank. When I test from my workstation I connect and can see commands when I type ehlo. I have a couple of other receive connectors for various situations and I have tested on them but I am unsuccessful.

Ideas?

TLS Certificate

Hi,

I am using 2  HUB/CAS transport servers with internal CA installed. I want to implement TLS certificate on Edge server for External emails.

My question is I am buying TLS  certificate from third party vendor. He ask me to give FQDN of my certificates. Can I give him my HUB and Edge server FQDN ?

For e.g    cas1.xyz.com (for Hub Transport)

              cas2.xyz.com

              MAIL.XYZ.COM (FOR Edge)

Connection Filtering agent doesn't work

I have installed the Connection Filtering agent:

Install-TransportAgent -Name "Connection Filtering Agent" -TransportService FrontEnd -TransportAgentFactory"Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.ConnectionFiltering.ConnectionFilteringAgentFactory" -AssemblyPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\agents\Hygiene\Microsoft.Exchange.Transport.Agent.Hygiene.dll"

Add-IPBlockListProvider -Name zen.spamhaus.org -LookupDomain zen.spamhaus.org -AnyMatch $true -Enabled $true

Enable-TransportAgent -TransportService FrontEnd -Identity "Connection Filtering Agent"

Restart-Service MSExchangeFrontEndTransport

After this, it doesn't work. Email from ip addresses marked as blacklisted (as can be seen by test-ipblocklistprovider) aren't blocked. Besides, no logging is created in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\FrontEnd\AgentLog”

Get-AgentLog -TransportService Frontend gives a warning: WARNING: An unexpected error has occurred and a Watson dump is being generated: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

Specified cast is not valid.

Exchange Dropping emails when sent too quickly

$
0
0

We have scripts we use to send emails to our exchange server, when we have it automate the messages, it randomly drops them, right now we are using ping  and sleep (depending on scripting language) to add some delay to prevent this from happening. 

Using Exchange 2010 and a Sonicwall, pretty sure its not the Sonicwall but the Exchange prevent it from excepting the messages, they are tiny messages, just a line or two of text.

Any idea how to turn this off, or add exceptions? Or what feature is stopping the messages?

Trying to get Commercial SSL Cert installed in Exchange 2010

$

I have created the SSL Request from the Exchange Server.  Sent it up to the CA (GoDaddy) and downloaded the Wildcard certificate.  When I Upload the CERT using either the EMC or Exchange PowerShell, I get the message the "Certificate Status could not be determined because the revocation check failed".   I did some searches and it appears this is proxy miss-config but I don't actually use a proxy.  This server has unrestricted access to the internet and in fact I use it to setup the Certs from GoDaddy. 

I must be miss-understanding this error message.  It would appear to me that it can't validate expiration of the CERT from GoDaddy because of Internet Access miss-Config but that isn't true.

Frontend transport service crashes while processing data from some external clients

Hi,

I have an Exchange Server 2013 Standard Version 15, Build 516.32 running in a production environment.  The server runs in a VM hosted by a Hyper V server version 6.2.9200.16579 . For the moment we rely on the builtin Anti-Spam protection which is enabled and working. The Anti-Malware is disabled.

Problem: I noticed that every few hours the FrontEnd Transport Service keeps crashing and restarting on the below events. It is coming back like a train precision, every 1-2 hours. The common piece is the IP range of the client generating the service crash/restart, mostly there are two IPs that keep showing on. Upon checking the IPs via mx toolbox (external blacklist check) I found that at least one of the IPs are listed on RBL as blackscatterer and other SPAMming patterns. 

Even so being, I do not find it normal to crash the service every time as such. What could be done? Do you think I should apply the latest Exchange CU2? Thank you, Cristian

Hi,

We have Exchange 2010 Sp2 Server which also has Forefront Protection for Exchange 2010 (Version 11.0.713.0.) Installed on to it. Today we have updated Exchange 2010 with SP3, after this my exchange mail flow became slow and event ID started logging 5066 ; Event Source : FSEVsapi.

Also, FSEMailPickup and other FPE Services / process started consuming major of the processor power. Due to this FPE scanning job is delaying and mail flow is impacted.

Kindly assist in troubleshooting the issue...

Hello

I got a Lab Enviroment, look at my Setup below:

Server01: Server 2012 Standard + Exchange 2013 Standard (MBX+CAS)

Server02: Server 2012 Standard + Exchange 2013 Standard (MBX)

They are in a DAG.

I have the self signed certificate that gets installed with the Exchange. But what I have read I should be able to send and receive E-Mails with a SmartHost and correct Receive Connector setup.

I have singed up for the free JangoSMTP and if I'm not wrong I can use it for 500 E-Mails totaly free for 30 Days.

So I tried to set up and use the SmartHost, but I can't get it to run.

at first I saw the mail on the JangoSMTP site, so it got there but not further.

Can someone that have used and have good experience with SmartHost help me? what can be wrong? can someone describe and guide me with the configuration on the JangoSMTP site? because I think I'm doing something wrong there.

Thanks in advance

Mail Flow on a Exchange 2013/coexistance

$

I have found how mail flow works on Exchange 2013 which would be cloud to cas to mailbox.  However, if the mx record is pointing to the cas server on a exchange 2013 server, which server redirects mail to a mailbox on exchange 2007?

Is it the CAS server or the mailbox server.  From the stuff I am finding it looks like it goes from mailbox to mailbox.  Is this true?  I need to know the answer so that I can make sure my firewall is set up appropriately as we are moving our exchange environment from an old DC to a new DC and need to make sure I have the nescessary ports open.  I am trying to figure out if port 25 is open between the two mailbox servers, the two CAS servers, or both.  Please advise and or refer me to some documenation with this answer.  Thanks in advance!

Using general SMTP for multiple domains

We have an Exchange 2010 organization(best.com) and recently we have taken 40 companies (domains). These organizations have exchange 2003 and 2007 environments. We ll migrate all these organizations to Exchange 2010 as soon, but before that, we want to implement and use a general SMTP address(@best.com) for all 40 organizations so that everyone in organization can communicate with the same SMTP.
Does anyone have some experience or a best practical idea? I have thought itself to mail forwarding, but maybe does anyone know another solution.

hello,

i have exchange 2010 and lotus mail server in organization. Most of the mailboxes are on exchange, only few of them are on lotus, and few users have both smtp exchange mailbox and lotus email. Exchange is internal relay for lotus, and most of the time relaying works fine.

sometimes exchange relays emails for users that have mailbox on exchange server to lotus. Lotus refuses it and we got NDR forwarding loop excedded.

to me it sounds like a bug, because exchnage relays messages for it own mailbox. Did anyone had simular situation or solution?
