Environment:
– 2010 RTM 
Later  I installed SP1 & Rollup 2 for SP1

2003 Service Pack 3 Clients
Issue:
During normal working hours users randomly was unable to access their mailboxes when they launched their Outlook client.

The users were receiving the following Outlook message:
Outlook error

“Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The Exchange Server computer is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange Server computer is down for maintenance.”
It was also reported that some users had issues expanding additional mailboxes. (Delegate Mailboxes )
The following Outlook message appeared.

set of folders

Or users have issues opening Shared Calendars.

Solution:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2299468

With Get-ThrottlingPolicy you can see the value of RCAMaxConcurrency

( RTM default value 20) ( SP1 default value 214748364)

I changed RCAMaxConcurrency to 214748364 and the problem is fixt:

Get-ThrottlingPolicy | set-ThrottlingPolicy -RCAMaxConcurrency 214748364

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 2010.

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 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.

Mailbox Import Role

When you want to import some pst’s you need some rights from doing this. This is a one time setting.

New-ManagementRoleAssignment ?Role ?Mailbox Import Export? ?User Administrator

Name                           Role              RoleAssigneeName  RoleAssigneeType  AssignmentMethod  EffectiveUserName

—-                           —-              —————-  —————-  —————-  —————-

Mailbox Import Export-Admin… Mailbox Import… Administrator     User              Direc

Set Mailbox Language

Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Identity ward -Language nl-nl -DateFormat "dd-mm-yyyy

If you want this for multiple mailboxes you case the following script

$a=get-Mailbox *
$a | Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -language nl-nl -DateFormat "dd-mm-yyyy

Import a mailbox

New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox ward -FilePath \\win701\c$\ward.pst

Remove  newmailimportRequest

Get-MailboxImportRequest -Status Completed | Remove-MailboxImportRequest

Status

Get-MailboxImportRequest | Get-MailboxImportRequestStatistics | ft TargetAlias,Percent*,BytesTransferred*

Multiple Mailboxes at the same time

Dir \\win701\c$\Exmerge-PSTS\*.pst | %{

    New-MailboxImportRequest ?Name ImportOfPst ?BatchName ImportPstFiles `

        ?Mailbox $_.BaseName ?FilePath $_.FullName

Exchange 2010 & Outlook 2010 Automatically Shared Mailboxes

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
