CRM Router and Dynamics CRM V9 Online–No Emails Being Processed

This one is an interesting one – and it was only resolved by a call to Microsoft Support, who do not document that this setting is required. The scenario is that you upgrade your CRM Router to v9 (as this is required before you upgrade Dynamics to V9) and you enable TLS 1.2 on the… Continue reading CRM Router and Dynamics CRM V9 Online–No Emails Being Processed

Exchange Server Dependency on Visual C++ Failing Detection

Exchange Server for rollup updates and cumulative updates at the time of writing (Feb 2019) has a dependency on Visual C++ 2012.

I found that by installing all versions… Continue reading Exchange Server Dependency on Visual C++ Failing Detection

451 4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later. PRX2

There are a few articles online about this error, but none were correct for the scenario i found a clients network in.

Public Folder Migrations and the Changing Cmdlets

Test Connectivity Website and TLS 1.2

An excellent resource for Microsoft Exchange Server and Exchange Online administrators and consultants is the Remote Test Connectivity website at http://exrca.com or https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/.

CannotEnterFinalizationTransientException On Exchange Move Request

Did not find a lot on the internet on this particular error, so I guess it does not happen very often, but in my case it delayed to move of the mailbox in question by a week or so until I could resolve it.

Exchange Server Object ID Error With Windows Server 2016 Domain Controllers

Saw this error the other day: When you open Exchange Control Panel and view the Mailbox Delegation tab of any user account you get the following: The object <name> has been corrupted, and it’s in an inconsistent state.

Copy Links and Backlinks Between Users and Shared Mailboxes (automapping)

Automap for shared mailboxes does not work across forests when moving mailboxes.

Anonymous Emails Between On-Premises and Exchange Online

When you set up Exchange Hybrid, it should configure your Exchange organizations (both on-premises and cloud) to support the fact that an email from a person in one of the organizations should appear as internal to a recipient in the other organization. In Outlook that means you will see “Display Name” at the top of… Continue reading Anonymous Emails Between On-Premises and Exchange Online

420 4.2.0 RESOLVER.ADR.Ambiguous; ambiguous address

This error can turn up in Exchange Server when Exchange Server is trying to resolve the object that it should deliver a message to.

Exchange Online Migration Batches–How Long Do They Exist For

Journal Rule Testing In Exchange Online

I came across two interesting oddities in journaling in Exchange Online in the last few weeks that I noticed where not really mentioned anyway (or anywhere I could find that is).
