Our CEO would like to be able to update shared calendars through his iPhone or mobile device. Is it possible to do this with Exchange 2010. I heard this was built in to Exchange 2013. Someone told him that and he wants to upgrade right now. So I'm looking for anyone who knows what the best option for this is. Also can room mailbox calendars and equipment calendars be shared through mobile devices.

Please advise on what is the best option to pursue.  I really don't want to rush the install of Exchange 2013.

Thanks,

Hi,

I hope someone can help on this as its driving me crazy.

The business has Exchange 2013 and all up to date, so works great with desktop client. We are now using windows phone 8 on Nokia Lumia 925 and the email was setup fine on all mobiles using Outlook setup but this is where I hit a problem. On the Phone If I go into my emails on the mobile and do a search for emails I get a result and I know there is more as we only sync for seven days. but if I do a search and select search more in server, the "searching on the server" flashes up and then goes away very quickly and i don't get any results at all, and even if I click on "search all folders" even though I know there is mail in the mailbox for that search.This is not just on one phone as it does not work for any of them. All services on the exchange server are running and I can search fine from Outlook windows client. Is there something I have done wrong?

Thanks

Brian

Hi,

We're working on a new Exchange 2013 CU2 migration on Windows Server 2012 from Exchange 2007 SP3 on Windows 2008.  We have two Exchange 2013 physical servers running CAS and a single DAG (2 servers 1 DB) with a 2008 R2 witness server.  Everything seems to be working fine but we are getting the following events every few minutes in the event logs on both servers.  I've searched high and low and can't seem to find a resolution.  Any suggestions?

Event ID 5011 from the Source WAS with this info:

Hi

We are receiving the below warnings on CAS which are causing client connectivity problems. I have searched internet for solutions but as yet cannot find any. I also cannot seem to find a way to increase this 5000 limit. Setup is multiple CAS / mailbox servers. Is anyone able to provide any advice?

MS Exchange Front End HTTP Proxy

Event ID 2002 Warning

Receiving the event log entry below on an Exchange 2013 Mailbox Server (Server 2012 OS).  No policies have been configured yet.  Seems odd that by default the health mailbox would be blocked when default policy is allow. Anybody else seeing this?

On our new Exchange 2013 server, we have looked at the SMS notification feature, with which a user who is only allowed to check their mail by manually logging in to OWA (and are not permitted to connect their mobile devices to the server through active sync or any other permanent fashion) to configure their mailbox to automatically send them a TXT message to their mobile phone whenever they receive a new email.  The problem is, it seems Exchange 2013 currently only supports sending TXT messages to 2 mobile carriers, carriers in Canada, and we would prefer if we could do more.

Is there a way to add support (through a paid 3rd party service if necessary) for additional carriers to this notification feature?  And if so, where in Exchange management would this service be configured so that it would be available for the SMS notification feature?  Thanks!!

Since last week we have the issue that for no apparent reason, mobile devices are being blocked.

The cmdlet:

Get-mobileDevice | where {$_.deviceaccessstate -eq 'Blocked'} | ft DistinguishedName

returns several mobile devices (iPhone 4S and iPad3) which are being blocked. We have no deviceaccessrules. Our AS policy Always has 'Allow mobile devices that don't fully support these policies to synchronize' unchecked. But even enabling this setting doesn't matter, every now and then mobile devices are getting blocked at random.

The reason given in EMC for the block is 'Security Policy Application'. Is there a way to troubleshoot why these devices are getting blocked? Now I have to manually unblock them (or schedule a script every 30 minutes to unblock them), but I would like to know why they are blocked. Looks like it started happening after upgrading to SP1.

Dear all,

I am looking for a technet blog post, that explains all the tiny little details of the "Connection status" window, that is accessible if I CTRL+right click on the Outlook 2010 tray bar. I would like to receive some very professional and at least Level 300 explanation of all the possible information visible in this troubleshooting window. Unfortunately there are hundreds of hits for this search term, I find it nearly impossible to find that single article that is right for me.

Dear all,

I am looking for a way to check the effects of an applied activesync policy on our mobile devices / tablets. I do not have any admin permissions on the Exchange environment, but I have to check and confirm what settings have been applied as the result of the Mobile policies set up in our Exchange 2010 environment.

Is there any way to check what system settings have been altered on WP8 phones and Windows 8 Pro / RT tablets?

Hi

Ive installed exchange 2013 in my domain where exchange 2007 is installed. The servers can see each other and mailbox migration works.

The problems im having is with owa, outlook and activesync. When going (internally) to exchange2013/owa site and login in with a user thats on 2007 i have to log in twice, once on each owa site. I belive that the same will happen with activesync and thus not work?

the users ive move to exchange 2013 are getting promted to type in user and pass every time!

my setup is exchange 2007 sp3 ru11 and exchange 2013 without any cu

thanks for the help

Hi. We have 2  Server 2012 R2 +Exchange 2013 sp1 servers  which work in DAG. These servers as are CAS servers and database server.

Periodically we observe errors of HTTP 500 at connection through OWA or ActiveSync.
Having started the test on one of servers received such error:

I'm in the process of migrating from 2007 to 2013.

I have moved successfully a several mailbox's from Ex2007 to Ex2013.  Currently, all the EAS policies reside on the 2007 server and I have been successful reconnecting all the smartphones so far. 

However, I have a Samsung S4 that is refusing to connect.   Any ideas what I need to do?

I have consistent event 1021 messages about active sync not allowing the health mailboxes to connect.  This is due to the fact that we require password, device encryption, etc... for devices to connect.  Easy enough right?  Just create a new active sync policy or "mobile device mailbox policies" in 2013.  Wrong.....

I found this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997929(v=exchg.150).aspx which contains incorrect syntax for changing a policy.  I found the correct syntax elsewhere (big surprise), but I keep receiving an error that the health mailboxes do not exist on my AD servers. 

Any help would be appreciated.  As of now, I have the health service disabled because it is completely unreliable and inaccurate. 

<Rant> The health checks in 2013 appear to be as much of an afterthought as coexistence.  It's mind boggling how poorly thought out this stuff is.  </Rant> 

I have set up the IISARR as per recommended documents I have found on the web. It is currently set up for both Lync and Exchange. Lync works beautifully.

The exchange flow is:  external port 443->firewall NAT-> IISARR DMZ IP address (10.10.10.21:443)->both autodiscover and Mail farms setup->HLB VIP 192.168.1.69->(2) Exchange servers.

Internally a user can successfully reach OWA and authenticate by hitting the HLB VIP for the Exchange.

Externally the user gets a 500 internal server error.

Lync has one binding for DMZ 10.10.10.20 port 443 and Exchange has DMZ 10.10.10.21 port 443. Both have separate certificates assigned.

ServerFarms:

Autodiscover.company.com-> server 192.168.1.69
Mail.company.com-> server 192.168.1.69

URL ReWrite for the mail.company.com (matches subject on the certificate):

Requested URL: Matches Pattern
Using: Wildcards
Pattern: *

Conditions:
Local grouping: Match ALL
Input: {HTTPS}   Type:  Matches the Pattern   Pattern: on
Input: {HTTP_HOST}   Type:  Matches the Pattern   Pattern: mail.company.com/*  (have also tried mail.company.com)

Action:
Action type:  Route to Server farm

Order of Rules is:(Inbound)
Lync13_LoadBalance_SSL
Mail.company.com_LoadBalance_SSL
Autodiscover.company.com_LoadBalance_SSL

Routing rules for both are set to use URL ReWrite to inspect incoming requests but no SSL Offloading.

I have tried pointing a specific server instead of the HLB as well.

I have the Failed requests logging on, but do not show any errors in the folder for them.

I see the request hitting the IISARR in the IIS logs.

I am at a loss at this point.  Any ideas?

Hello,

Our organization is currently hosting an internal Exchange 2010 system. We've set up Microsoft ActiveSync for our mobile devices. One of our members in Administration has a contacts rolodex that is saved out in our Public Folders database. This member is now having the need to have these contacts synchronized to her ActiveSync enabled mobile device.

Is there a way to synchronize these contacts to her device directly from the PFDB? Or is the only solution to have these contacts saved on her personal mailbox? 

Thank you,

Matthew Huff

Hi, I have to configure ActiveSync certificate based authentication, and use a third party CA.

What informations and fields must I configure on the cert template, to use it for activesync  ?

For now I've a template with the CN (FirstName LastName) for the Subject Name  and a Subject Alternative name with UserPrincipalName (user@domain). Is it enough ?

Do I must publish the user's certificate  in AD ?

Thanks

I have a Surface Pro 2 on my organization's domain, and while I have Outlook 2013 running fine on the desktop side, I'd really like to connect the Mail, Calendar, and People apps to my work Exchange account if possible.

First, a little background on my company's Exchange configuration, which is "extra secure" variety. Obviously, I'm using generic placeholders here. My email address isfirst_last@company.com, but our actual Exchange server is exchange.internaldomain.com, and my actual username is lasfir (first 3 of last name, first 3 of first name). I'm not 100% clear on our certificate process, but from what I understand from talking with our Systems team, it's a self-signed certificate.

Anyway, when I try to add my account, I get the usual email address and password prompts. I enterfirst_last@company.com and my password, which don't resolve. The app returns "we couldn't find settings forfirst_last@company.com. Provide us with more info and we'll try connecting again."

So I add the internaldomain as the domain and lasfir as my username and click Connect again. This time it returns "we still couldn't find settings forfirst_last@company.com. Providing this additional info may help. If you don't know this information, search online or check with your provider."

So I enter exchange.internaldomain.com as my server address and click Connect again. This time it returns "to connect to this account, you need a valid certificate on this PC. Contact your system administrator for more info." That tells me at least it's finding my Exchange server, but I have no idea about the certificate thing. I reached out to our Exchange admin, and suffice it to say, he wasn't super helpful. I turned to our Systems guys and they just weren't sure about the certificate process.

As one of the few people in my organization running Windows 8x, I'm a bit of a guinea pig for stuff like this. Any advice how to get this working?

I have set up IIS ARR for use with Lync 2013 and Exchange 2013.

Lync 2013 is working fine.

I have tried to follow the Exchange server blog about configuring IISARR for Ex2013 (http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/07/19/reverse-proxy-for-exchange-server-2013-using-iis-arr-part-1.aspx).  I get a 404 not found error when running OWA from external and acive sync fails.  remote connectivity Analyzer doesn't help either.

In the blog it has the URL rewrite as Match URL using Widlcards with a PAttern of * and then an {HTTP_Host} condition of mail.tailspintoys.com

Is this correct?  should it be mail.tailspintoys.com/*

I have created 2 farms and iurl rerwrties, one for Autodiscover and one for Mail.

Any ideas?  thanks.
