Controlling Exchange 2013/2016 Proxying To Exchange 2010

Exchange 2013 streamlined the connectivity between servers with the “every server is an island” design philosophy.  The intent was to remove the strict version dependency hooks which existed in the previous versions of Exchange.  For example, the Exchange 2007 HUB Store Driver can only communicate with the Exchange 2007 Mailbox role.  Conversely, the Exchange 2010 HUB Store Driver can only communi… Read the rest “Controlling Exchange 2013/2016 Proxying To Exchange 2010”

Office 365 Mailbox Migration – Target Mailbox Doesn‎’t Have An SMTP Proxy Matching

When migrating mailboxes from on-premises Exchange to Office 365, we can run into the error where the migration fails with an error stating that the target mailbox doesn’t have an SMTP proxy matching the Microsoft Online Routing Domain.

This can happen due to a number of causes.  For example the mailbox is managed by an Email Address Policy (EAP) that was not updated with the online routing domain.… Read the rest “Office 365 Mailbox Migration – Target Mailbox Doesn‎’t Have An SMTP Proxy Matching”

Exchange 2013 CU9 MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled Missing

After upgrading an Exchange 2013 CU8 lab to CU9, the Set-Mailbox cmdlet did not present the expected options to configure sent items for shared mailboxes.

This was a little puzzling as this was an expected feature of Exchange 2013 CU9.  None of the issue… Read the rest “Exchange 2013 CU9 MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled Missing”

This can happen in a few circumstances.  For example if the Exchange administrator has an “oops”  and accidently deletes the account.  If they do not use the AD DS recycle bin f… Read the rest “Unable to Reply to Old Emails Due to legacyExchangeDN”

Allow Users To Manage Distribution Groups Without Creating New Ones–Exchange 2013 Redux

In a previous Exchange 2010 post we discussed a scenario where users were delegated the capability to create Mail Enabled Contacts in Active Directory using a custom Role Based Access Control (RBAC) role.  As part of the solution, we enabled the MyDistributionGroups Role.  While this may meet the needs of most organisations, it does introduce one issue where users who are assigned such a  Role AssigRead the rest “Allow Users To Manage Distribution Groups Without Creating New Ones–Exchange 2013 Redux”

How To Create Public Folder Calendar In Exchange 2013

This is in response to a engagement where the admins were puzzled that they could not create a public folder calendar in Exchange 2013.  That is something that we should be able to do.

Why were they not able to do so?

To creating the public folder calendar, we need to use Outlook.  This is the same as Exchange 2010, so no differences there.

What was stumping them was, when they went to Outl… Read the rest “How To Create Public Folder Calendar In Exchange 2013”
