Gunning to do my 2010 CAS cutover tomorrow night (co-existance with Exchange 2003). I'll be leaving the legacy server in place for a month or two since there's a lot of large mailboxes I need to move over. A few questions... Can I move the OAB right now or should I wait until the CAS is cutover to be our external facing site? I have a BES Express server in place hooked up to the old server. Do I need to worry about permissions or for tha tmatter, ANYTHING, with the new server at all or will I be ok until I move the mailbox over to the new one?

Is there a way to block a user from sending email locally but allow them to send externally? I'm setting up our new Xerox printers at the office today. We have a xerox@domain.com address that it's set up as. I know my users will start emailing documents like its candy to each other. Boss won't spring for any kind of archiving solution so it's a whole lot of fun. However this feature is helpful as gently caress for sending documents externally. Xerox tech told me this has to be done on the server, not the machine. Any ideas or am I just going to have to live with this?

Internet Explorer posted:I can't think of any easy way to do this on Exchange 2003. If it was "accept messages" instead of "send messages" that would be easy, just add delivery restrictions in the Exchange General tab for the user account. Yeah, you're right. The thing is, my users are pigs when it comes to email and the bossman is forbidding quotas (which is loving retarded as I can make sure he doesn't have one). They all have U drive scan folders on the machine, i'm just going to disable scan to email all together. BTW, I'm on Exchange 2010 and the previous suggestion of Transport Rules worked.

If I add another smtp address to a user in ESM (EX2010) and set it as the reply address, shouldn't it automatically switch over when a user reopens outlook? Or do I need to wait for the OAB to download again? This is really frustrating. I have a use rina remote office and theyve got a different domain on their email. This usually works without a hitch but for them its just not switching over.

platypusmalone posted:I am replacing an ancient Exchange 2003 server (800mhz!!) with a modern beefy Exchange 2010 box. There are only around 40-50 mailboxes and maybe 60 AD accounts. Oh boy. Having just done this the past summer, there's no such thing as a straightforward method of doing it. I used this and the article from Windows IT Pro May 2010 about doing the transition. And I just ignored the virtualization part, I run Exchang eon bare metal. My one recommendation is leave the 2003 box up as long as you possibly can, even after moving the mailboxes over. I think I lef tmy old 2003 box up for about a month before going through the decommission steps. It might have been overkill but it was a smooth transition. Now I need to slap another 12 gigs of RAM into the server because 12 isn't enough for about 45 mailboxes. Sheesh.

JBark posted:Are you getting actually performance problems? Don't go by system memory usage with 2007/2010, since Exchange will use all available memory (well, something more like 95%), no matter how much you put in there. In fact, I've read a few MS articles that point towards performance decreases if you put in too much memory in a multi role server. The system itself is slow as poo poo when I'm trying to do anything. I have the ESM installed on one of our DCs and it takes FORFUCKINGEVER to do anything. I have some users with gigantic mailboxes so that may be slowing things down. We also have a bunch of people using outlook on citrix so they don't use OSTs and I think that may be affecting performance too. I'm also getting Event ID 906 for ESE: quote:Information Store (4412) A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file. This may result in severe performance degradation. Every link I read says this means there isn't enough RAM in the system.

sanchez posted:That's weird, I've seen 80 mailboxes and about 150gb of mail run on exchange 2010 with 4gb of ram. The transaction latency was high enough to annoy BES until we upgraded to 8gb but certainly there were no eventlogs like that. Did you mess with anything during the server install? (Swap file sizes etc) Nope, didn't mess with anything. It's baffling since our old exchange server was fine and it only had 4 gigs. EDIT: Just realized I haven't rebooted since we cut over. I rebooted the email server and now the server has about 3 gigs free. I'll see if this keeps up. Matt Zerella fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Mar 1, 2012 |

Funny, I had a problem this morning with my bosses outlook and disabled cached mode and the problem went away. I have a feeling ESET is to blame but I'm still trying to figure things out. Basically, Outlook sat there for about 30 minutes and wouldn't update while his Blackberry was getting email all the time. Obviously, I'm going to have to use it for our remote offices, but I'm considering disabling it here in the main office where the server is, if this problem keeps up.

quote:Did you try re-enabling it after disabling it? When you disable it, the .ost file is deleted which, if it becomes corrupt, can cause the exact issues you were seeing. Just re-enabling it forces it to recreate that file and usually solves the problem. I just left it. He was freaking out and I had just gotten in. I might sneak in and reenable it one day but for now I'm just going to leave it alone. He's the only one in the office who's connecting like this and everyone else is fine with cached mode turned on. quote:A huge part of keeping outlook clients healthy is using sane limits on mailbox quotas and appropriate online archiving. That is, don't have users with 15GB of e-mail in their mailstore. Amen brother. Unfortunately, I'm the only person in my company who does IT and I wear many hats. I've bitched and moaned that we need an archiving feature but my boss just keeps putting it on the back burner. The other problem is, my users just use outlook like it's a goddamn filing system and some of them have gigantic mailboxes. The nature of our buisness (fashion) means a lot of people send large attatchments (we limit to 20 megs incoming) and when I tell them to use our FTP, they just go blank. Then they save said emails in subfolders and so on and so forth. I'm about 2 weeks away from going BOFH and going into their mailboxes and deleting large emails, because I'm sick and tired of people not wanting to listen. Quotas are coming, I just don't have the time to implement them right now. But when they do I can't wait to hear the kicking and screaming

I have an extremely limited understanding of how email actually works, and right my company is looking to switch to another provider for creating & sending newsletters. We use Vertical Response for our email newsletters. IMO it's not a good idea to use your own exchange environment for newsletters since hosted versions let you handle unsusbscribing/subscribing easily and tracks stats like who leaves/joins the list. They also should provide a web version like you described in the last paragraph.

I have external DNS with one of our ISPs and all is running fine here. the only problem we have is the goddamn consultant set up our domain with a .com on the end insted of a .local or .corp or whatever so when they open *.com (no www) they go to our AD server. All of my ADs are DNS servers as well. What's it called? Split level or something like that? The term is escaping me right now.

Wait, what? First of all Primary/Secondary roles for DCs aren't really a thing anymore. The only thing that is unique to one dc is your FSMO roles and global catalogs (which I always make my DCs GC). I don't see why you can't leave the old SBS server up for a day or two after you've done the transition. Is SBS really that restrictive?

I can't for the life of me find migration guides for on-site EX2K10 (all in one CAS/Mailbox/ETC) -> Exchange Online. We've decided the 8$/mailbox per month out weighs the fuckload of money its going to cost us to be more DR prepared. We came to this conclusion after sandy knocked out our company for a week in lower Manhattan. Honestly, I'm pretty pumped to get that server (and it's backups) out of my life, but I'm having a bit of a problem finding info on migrating to it as everything seems to be Exchange 2007. We're not looking to go to full Office 365, just the Exchange Online option.

So, quick question. Can I do the email migration to O365 before I have ADFS and single sign on set up? We have a week off between friday and the day after new years and it's the perfect time to get the migration going since our 20 meg line will be pretty underutilized. I'm fine with manually assigning users to their mailboxes since we're only about 50 users worldwide.

So I'm really considering just forgetting about Single Sign on and ADFS for my users and just having them maintain separate credentials for their Office 365 email. Between the self signed certificate errors and the double logins and all that poo poo, they're going to be just as if not more confused by the process. It's less than 60 mailboxes, it's not any more of a pain in the rear end as active directory lockouts.

I guess I should pick up a wildcard cert if the boss approves.

Any reason why the mailbox migration tool in O365 will chew through all of my users but there is one where it's basically transferring as slow as loving molasses (like 900 bytes a second slow)? Exchange doesn't seem to be throwing any kind of errors and it prevents the drat sync from happening. Mailbox is reasonably small, and it looks like it's just the last part of the sync that it's slowing down on. Should I delete it from O365 and resync? EDIT: We've got a 20 meg line here in the office and we aren't experiencing any kind of routing issues. EDIT: now its fast again. What in the gently caress? Ok, disregard me on this one.

Quick question, when I start trying to connect my ADFS server to O365 and run these commands: Set-MsolAdfscontext -Computer <AD FS server FQDN> Convert-MsolDomainToFederated -DomainName <domain name> Will that disrupt my existing users at all using the on premises exchange server? I'm not ready to move them over to the O365 yet because I'm still having sync issues (that I think I've gotten around by exporting to PST and syncing up through a temp outlook profile).
