Posted on by

After installing Rollup 1 for 2007 SP3 IMAP is now serving most text/plain parts as text/html instead. I had some issue with a simple mail import tool that now imported all mail with html codes.

Before the rollup 1 they were previously multipart/alternative messages with both text/plain and text/html subparts.

Solution:
You can set in through in the GUI or using to set the value to 0 text only

ImapMessagesRetrievalMimeFormat:
0:Text Only
1:HTML Only
2:HTML and Alternative Text
3:Enriched Text Only
4:Enriched Text and Alternative Text
5:Best Body Format

Exchange Management Console:

  1. In the console tree, expand Server Configuration, and then click Client Access.

  2. In the work pane, click the POP3 and IMAP4 tab.

  3. In the work pane, select IMAP4 and then, in the result pane, click Properties.

  4. On the IMAP4 Properties page, click the Retrieval Settings tab.

  5. In the Message Retrieval pane, select a message format from the drop-down list under Message MIME format. I choies for 0

  6. Click Apply, and then click OK to save your changes.

Powershell:

Set-CASMailbox -Identity yourcasserverhere -PopMessagesRetrievalMimeFormat 0

Migrating to Exchange 2010 & PDA Sync Issues

Posted on by
Reply

Some day’s ago I was testing some PDA’s Mobile and Nokia’s for a Migration to .

I created a little procure to test it.

1. PDA sync at first with ISA 2006 against .

2. Shutdown the ISA 2006 Server

3. Starting the TMG Server

4. Checking if the PDA would sync. (The PDA should be sync with legacy.wardvissers.nl automatically )

5. Move the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 and check again if the PDA sync works.

 

Windows Mobile PDA (6.1).

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. The PDA will be redirected to legacy.wardvissers.nl and pda sync works great. The User had nothing to do.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. The user will automatically redirected from legacy.wardvissers.nl to webmail.wardvissers.nl with out any problems.

Nokia E71/E72 (Mail for Exchange Client 3.0.73)

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. PDA don’t sync anymore. The user must change the sync url manual to legacy.wardvissers.nl than it works again.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. If you change the url to legacy.wardvissers.nl you must change it manually back.

Nokia E71/E72 With (Road Sync 4.0/5.0)

1. Works fine

2.

3.

4. PDA don’t sync anymore. The user must change the sync url manual to legacy.wardvissers.nl than it works again.

5. Moving the Mailbox to Exchange 2010 there is no problem. If you change the url to legacy.wardvissers.nl you must change it manually back.

Conclusion

Moving PDA users to Exchange 2010 can be a pain in the ass. Best practice is create a list of all PDA users and move them first to Exchange 2010 and than all other users.

Posted on by

When you set full access permissions with the management console on a mailbox,the user which has be giving full access right now there will filed a new property.
image

The property is MSExchDelegateListLink. You can check it with adsiedit.
image

When you open now 2010 you can now see that Wardtest is automatilly Added

image

And additional mailboxes is empty
image

When you migrating from to 2010 and upgraded the Clients to Outlook 2010
Use dis script to set the MSExchDelegateListLink object automatically. Test I first. It’s your own risk.

$a=get-MailboxPermission * | where {$_.IsInherited –eq $False –and $_.accessrights –eq “FullAccess”}
$a | remove-MailboxPermission –confirm:$false
$a | add-MailboxPermission

Save the scripts to MSExchDelegateListLink.ps1

It works great Open-mouthed smile

Exchange 2007 OWA Redirect Bug Introduced with Exchange 2010 SP1

Posted on by
1
The Customer where I now work has a mix of and 2010 users.  It seems that SP1 has introduced a obvious bug.  Before I get into that, I’ll give some background on how 2010 coexists with previous versions of .
When you have a mix of and older versions in your environment, you have to do a bit of work to make the two work together for your external users.  In a nutshell, you use Client Access Server (CAS) as your primary entry point for all external users. 
Say you use webmail.wardvissers.nl as your externally accessible URL.  If an Exchange 2010 user logs in from the Internet, the Exchange 2010 CAS will do its thing and the user will get a nice Web App screen.
If an Exchange 2007 user logs in using webmail.wardvissers.nl, the Exchange 2010 CAS will redirect the user to an externally accessible Exchange 2007 CAS using a different URL (like legacy.wardvissers.nl).  The redirection is silent, but the user may notice their browser changed to legacy.wardvissers.nl
How the redirect is handled is managed by the LegacyRedirectType setting in the Exchange 2010 OWA virtual directory.  In most cases, LegacyRedirectType is set to Silent.  To see what the setting is in your environment, run:Get-OWAVirtualDirectory -Server <CASservername> | FL Identity, LegacyRedirectType

In SP1, this redirection is no longer silent.  When your Exchange 2007 user logs in via webmail.wardvissers.nl, they are presented with this screen:

The text reads:

A temporary change has occurred that requires you to connect to a different server.  To connect, click the button below.  For security reasons, you’ll be asked to enter your user name and password again.

Sure enough, when you click Connect, you are redirected to legacy.wardvissers.nl, where you have to re-enter your user information.
Thankfully, the same sort of thing doesn’t seem to happen with Outlook Anywhere or ActiveSync clients.
I checked the LegacyRedirectType value on my 2010 SP1 CAS boxes and they are all still set to Silent.  The issue occurs because the OWA virtual directory value for LegacyRedirectType is being ignored.  This is an extraordinarily unfortunate thing to have been introduced with SP1.   If you have a mixed Exchange 2007/2010 environment, I suggest you wait until the rollup 2 is out before deploying SP1. 

Update 15 December 2010

Update 2 for Exchange 2010 and the fix is there described 2458419 "A temporary change has occurred that requires you to connect to a different server" error message when Exchange Server 2007 mailbox users try to access their mailboxes by using an Exchange Server 2010 Client Access server

Exchange SP1 2010 Setting rights with Public Folder Management Console

Posted on by

For 2007 you had PFDAVAdmin to set rights on the Public Folder store.

For (RTM & SP1) you have the tool ExFolder to set rights on the public Folder store.

But the Exchange Team did a great job to add Public Folder Rights to the Public Folder Management Console.

When you right click on the a public folder you can set permission on two ways.

1. Right click on the public folder and choose Manage Settings

I give my self Owner rights for this little demo.

2. Select Properties from the public folder and then select the Permissions tab.

When install a 2007 or 2010 Server on there are some settings that will increase de performance.

- Use de VMXNET 3 Adapter
- Use per Disk a SCSI Controller
- Store the Log & Database files on physical Lun on a SAN
- Use the LSI LOGIC SAS controller for 2008 &
- Use the VMware Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) Controller for Every physical Raw Device Mapping (RDM).

Another TIP.  & needs a lots of Memory. When choosing the size for the OS partition, swap file need also al lot of space.
