Name an error to do with connecting to an Exchange server, and I'm pretty sure I've had it.

Hello,

We have recently migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.  There are no problem migrating an existing mailbox.  However,  when a new user is created on Exchange 2013, they attempt to open Outlook and they receive a "server is unavailable offline" message.  If you examine their profile, the email address is filled in the "Your Name" box and the email address field is blank.  I've spent a few hours searching the web and cannot find a similar issue.  It's as if auto discover is working but just not populating the correct fields.  Populating the email address in the correct field solves the problem but I don't want to do this manually every time we add a new user.

Hi,

I have a exchange environment with 2 mailbox server configured DAG and 2 Client access servers, ... One of the CAS servers is configured as withness server for failover cluster.

CAS are configured with DNS round robin where same A record with different IP of cas a and cas b are added.

OWA is working fine, connected sending and receiving mails

However Outlook clients 2007 2010 and 2013 are not connecting and doesn't send receive and send email. It works fine for few days then suddenly it stops working. Its not that outlook never worked. It works and after few days doesn't. Usually we restart all the 4 servers until it starts working again.

This time it  is not working after restarting also

there was Error 106 performance counter, we reset the performance counter using the script

I have observed Error IDs.  1003 106 1008 1023 1111 2001 2004 4109 15021  in the last 24 hours

Please advice

Thank you

Hi,

My Exchange 2013 Hybrid environment is at CU5 level. Multiple administrators have started experiencing the error message

It only started two weeks ago and did not coincide with any infrastructure changes. The message occurs when clicking anything on the EAC GUI and it eventually allows you to perform the operation but only after the message pops up a few times.

I have tried clearing the browser cookies, history, etc. Note that using the Office 365 EAC does not yield the same messages and it only happens in IE (IE 11).

Thanks.

We setup a public folder for shared contacts for our local church on Office 365 Business Essentials for Nonprofits.
Everything worked well to start with when I tested it as the initial owner but after granting other users permissions it stopped working.

Shared contacts in a public folder, which are accessed through OWA | People | "Other contacts" (after having been added to Favourites etc initially comes up with "Your request can't be completed right now. Please try again later" error then after a long delay displays the first 50 contacts, instead of the full list.

I tried to deleted some of the list and checked all contacts but it just changes to another 50 contacts being displayed and no more.

All permissions for the test shared accounts are set to owner I and have tried different browsers (IE11/Chrome/Edge) and different windows versions 7 & 10 but it comes up with the same response from the MS Office 365 online servers.

This appears to be a bug coming from the Microsoft Server end but it is somewhat frustrating since my only other option is to set up each user's account with a copy of the "My Contacts" one by one... then if there are any changes, it would mean editing each user contacts.

Also, when searching for contacts in OWA's People or Outlook it does not have an option to search in all contacts (including Contact, Directory, & Other Contacts)

Do Google Apps clients have these types of issues?

isit possible to answer a lots of mail (for example the same 'get a job' mail) with one answer in one mail?

The mail is in one file map but the e-mail adressen are not stored in contacts.

thx for your reply

Hello.

We are recently migrated from Exchange 2010 to 2013 CU8. All roles are installed on one server.
Most of our users connecting to Exchange from external networks with Outlook 2013 and they get this autodiscover.xml (seehttp://pastebin.com/LWaDYDUy).

Here virtual directory config:

All working fine except one thing: Outlook 2013 from external network trying to download OAB from internal url. Here is output from "bitsadmin /list /verbose":

After a hour BITS will cancel this job and download OAB from external URL without any problem. But if i restart Outlook - it will again use internal URL.

Any ideas?

Outlook (all versions) in Windows 7 seem to require TLS 1.0 in order to communicate with Exchange using either MAPI or Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP). Outlook is unable to use TLS 1.1/1.2 despite the fact that the protocol is supported in Schannel under Windows 7 and that it can be used for other applications such as IE11 and RDP. Disabling TLS 1.0 on the server will break any Outlook client using Windows 7. Windows 8.0> do not have this problem.

TLS 1.0 is universal, with near 100% support. Though TLS 1.1 and 1.2 are growing more common, many Exchange clients still do not work with anything but TLS 1.0. For example, at this time, we are tracking multiple issues with Outlook running on Windows 8.0 or older. We are hoping to address these issues soon, but with Windows 7 commonly running in most customer environments, this is a really good reason to not disable TLS 1.0 yet. Source: Exchange TLS & SSL Best Practices

Given that PCI compliance now requires disabling TLS 1.0 and Windows 7 remains the most widely used version of Windows, can Microsoft give any update as to when they intend to address these issues? If anyone has experienced this problem, did you find any way to force Windows 7/Outlook to use TLS 1.2?

Thanks!

Hi, I need to recover deleted mails from a Terminated user mailbox, So am using OWA to recover mails and from which i cannot recover in one shot. So is there any powershell command using which we can recover the user's deleted mails into the same user's mailbox inbox folder. If it can go to the respective folders it will be great. Thanks. 

Hi.

I have created a new virtual "test" environment, with 3 machines, all connected to the same virtual network.

1) Windows Server 2012, Domain Controller + DHCP server

2) Windows Server 2012, Member Server + Exchange 2013

3) Windows 7 Pro + Outlook 2007

Now: i have set from "ecp" all the basic things in exchange 2013, as "accepted domains", receiving and sending connectors, verified in "server - server - outlook anywhere" that the field "internal server name" was as i expected (exch2012.mydomain.mycity).

Then I created a new account "USER", directly from ECP, with his new mailbox.

I have connected the Win7 client to the domain, and created a local user corresponding to the one created in exchange/AD. The client is connecting regularly to the domain, no problem here.

Even if I try to access the mailbox from Internet Explorer, going to "https://exch2012/owa", i can access it, and even send and read message.

The problem here is when i try to create an Outlook 2007 profile. As i enter in the profile manager in control panel, and try to create the profile, the wizard auto-fill the fields with name="user" and address="user@mydomain.mycity". Anyway, i choose to manually configure the account. In the next windows, the wizards asks for the server name, and here i type "exch2012.mydomain.mycity". In the user field i set "user".

As soon as i hit the "check name" button, the wizard answer "unable to complete the action. connection to microsoft exchange not available. to complete the operation, it is necessary that outlook is on a network or connected" (sorry - my server is in italian and i tried to translate the message the best i can).

The communication from the 3 machines are, i guess, perfect, since the ping "machine_name" respond perfectly. As said i can even access the mailbox via OWA from the same Windows 7 machine, typing simply the servername/owa.

There is something else i am failing to do...but i don't know anymore what it could be!

Hope someone can help me.Thanks

One of our users is logged out of his Outlook on a weekly basis. Everything works fine on Friday, but when we come back after the weekend, he's been logged out of his email and his credentials need to be reentered before he can send/receive anything. We have the same setup for dozens of other users, but none of them have this issue. What can cause this, and how can we fix it?

A customer has migrated to Exchange Online. The Exchange server is still there with its mailboxes. Autodiscovery (and such?) has been disabled in the local environment. I need to get access to a couple of these mailboxes with Outlook to check a few emails.

What I primarly do, is create a new Outlook account, and point it to the local server (on LAN, with .local domain). But even though I do this, and provide the local AD account name and password, and even though all this is accepted, I still end up either failing or connecting to Exchange Online (where the username and password is different, but where the email is the same).

How can I "fool" my Outlook to connect to this old mailbox temporarily?

Single Sign On is not working for Exchange 2013 Cu12 OWA.I am trying it for the first time.

My environment has  one DC collocated with ADFS 3.0  and Exchange 2013 CU12 and Exchange 2016 CU1 on separate vm box.

I have followed technet article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn635116%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx i am getting below event id ;However i have configured my Relying Party as Https://Mail.contoso.local/owa but i am seeing https://localhost/owa in the event id.I am not sure why it is not redirecting to right url.DC time is synced with the exchange server in the domain.Windows Firewall

When i try to browse https://mail.contoso.local/owa i get a credential prompt from ADFS server when i enter the credentials i get 400 Bad request and when i check the ADFS event id i see the below error no error found in Exchange server.I have recreated the relying party trust and claim rule ,Rebooted the ADFS server  and exchange servers same issue.But currently i want Exchange 2013 OWA single sign on to be working internally any hep is much appreciated.

We have a hybrid configuration with our on-premises Exchange 2010 server and our Office 365 Exchange Online server (if this should be posted in the Exchange 2010 forum instead, let me know, but I figured we have one of each).  We have been doing remote moves, and all but two of them are finished. The two remaining are refusing to go, and I've done extensive searching but haven't been able to resolve the issues.

The first mailbox returns this error message:

Error:MissingExchangeGuidException: The user object for ‎nnndoes not have a valid ExchangeGuid property and cannot be migrated.

The second mailbox returns this error message:

Error:MigrationTransientException: Couldn‎'t find a move request that corresponds to the specified identity <‎identity>.

We've tried moving both mailboxes several times (deleting the migration batch after each error) with no luck.   The migration for both of these users are being done as separate batches with one user in each batch.  They are being created via the Exchange Admin Center from the Office 365 admin portal.  Any suggestions on what to do next?

Hi, I'm using MS exchange and Outlook has an add-in called Microsoft exchange add-in. Right now I have it disabled and everything appears to be working. However, it has features that might be useful in the future. I'm trying to determine what features exist or if there are potential problems from not enabling the add-in. Can anyone help?
