Exchange Support For Windows Server 2016

Posted on 16th May 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Windows Server 2016 is available, and it is now supported to install Exchange 2016 onto this version of Windows. Initially this was not the case. Exchange 2016 CU3 added support to install Exchange 2016 onto Windows Server 2016. However, there was an issue with Windows which required based installations to be paused. The required fix has been released by the Windows team in KB3206632. This up… Read the rest “Exchange Support For Windows Server 2016”

Assigning Exchange 2016 and 2013 Certificate To Multiple Servers At The Same Time

Posted on 9th May 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

In Exchange 2010, the Exchange Management Console allowed us to import certificates to multiple servers and to then assign the certificate to multiple servers simultaneously. In the Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2016 EAC, the option to enable the certificate for Exchange services is per server.

As you can seen in the Exchange 2016 example below, we need to select each server one by one from the drop … Read the rest “Assigning Exchange 2016 and 2013 Certificate To Multiple Servers At The Same Time”

Exchange 2013 Upgrade Workshop Links – April 2016

Posted on 2nd May 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Last week I was in Ottawa to review the process of upgrading to Exchange 2013. Since the focus was upgrading from Exchange 2007, that required blowing the cobwebs off some long term storage brain cells!

Note that Exchange 2007 now has less than a year of extended support left, and if you have not started to migrate to a newer version then it is time to start!

Exchange Autodiscover – How Delegate Mailboxes Are Returned

Posted on 8th April 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Back with Exchange 2010 SP1 a feature was added so that mailbox which were delegated Full Mailbox access to other mailboxes would automatically have the additional mailbox made accessible in Outlook. As an example Debora was granted Full Mailbox access to the mailbox called Postmaster. With no additional configuration, in Debora’s Outlook client (2007 and up) the Postmaster mailbox would automat… Read the rest “Exchange Autodiscover – How Delegate Mailboxes Are Returned”

Troubleshooting Exchange 2013 and 2016 Search

Posted on 3rd April 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2016 search is again a huge improvement and work area in the same vein as the search improvements in Exchange 2007 compared to Exchange 2003. Exchange Search is important for many reasons. Users running Outlook in online mode will leverage the Exchange search service, as will those on OWA. Administrators performing discovery searches will also be using Exchange Search… Read the rest “Troubleshooting Exchange 2013 and 2016 Search”

Exchange Services Not Starting on Windows Server 2012 Due to Network Location Profile

Posted on 11th March 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

Some of my lab servers run in Microsoft Azure with no redundancy. This is because they are only a lab, and I want to minimise the monthly billing costs for these environments. When the servers are restarted due to patching or maintenance activities, there can be a little fallout.

In the case below, some Exchange services were not running on the Exchange 2010 CAS server in the lab… Read the rest “Exchange Services Not Starting on Windows Server 2012 Due to Network Location Profile”

Create Exchange Email Address Policy With Underscore

Posted on 4th March 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

When onsite with a customer last week they were curious as to how they could create an Exchange Email Address Policy (EAP) with an underscore in it. This was because the option to use an underscore is not present within the Exchange graphical tools.

For the record, I’m personally not a fan of using special characters in any situation. I’m a simple creature and do not use undersco… Read the rest “Create Exchange Email Address Policy With Underscore”

Posted on 25th January 2016 by Rhoderick Milne [MSFT]

This is link throw down for items that we discussed in a Exchange 2013 workshop which I delivered in Ottawa, Canada’s capital. The weather was pretty warm, the adjacent picture of parliament was on a bright Saturday morning when the temperature was a crisp –15 Celsius.

For those who want to convert to Fahrenheit, I’ll let you get on with that in your own time.

There was a cause for concern as the … Read the rest “Exchange 2013 Workshop Links – January 2016”
