On premise 2016 to exchange online
Hi all, i have a hosted exchange 2016 with 22 tenanats that I need to migrate. I don't want to install AAD connect or hybrid. Is there a way to do it manually by importing a CSV file? Or do a cutover with selective mailboxes?input04Feb 15, 2025Copper Contributor69Views0likes9CommentsProblem Search in mailboxes exchange 2019

Hi I'm trying to build a few Dynamic Distribution Lists in Exchange Online and want to only include Active Users (i.e., users that are marked "Active" in Azure AD). I've tried using the UserAccountControl attribute (-eq 514 or -ne 514 - both are returning the same results, which is strange), but it still includes user accounts that are disabled. This is how my recipient filter looks like: RecipientType -eq 'UserMailbox' -and UserAccountControl -ne 514 What's the best way to achieve this in Exchange Online? Thanks Taranjeet Singh1.9KViews0likes3CommentsUsing the Outlook Booking with Me Feature
Outlook’s new Booking with Me feature is rolling out worldwide. Any user with an Exchange Online license can create a personal bookings page to allow other internal and external people to book meetings with them. It’s a nice idea and a good example of how Microsoft can use its software toolkit to create new solutions. https://office365itpros.com/2022/07/25/booking-with-me/98KViews0likes5CommentsSlow performance when executing cmdlets through Powershell from a management server
We are trying to execute some management cmdlets to manage our distribution groups. We have a server having the Exchange Management Tools installed, not hosting any other Exchange Server roles. The command works well from an exchange server. When executing for example set-distributiongroup it takes some minutes to execute the command. It succeeds eventually . When running the command within a few minutes after the first try, it works fast. But when waiting for 5 or 6 minutes, it is slow again. I ran the command with the verbose option, below you will find the output. The bold part is taking so long. This part is skipped when executing the command for the second time within some minutes: Set-DistributionGroup <group-emailaddress> -AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom @{add=“<user-emailaddress>”} -verbose VERBOSE: [13:03:12.395 GMT] Set-DistributionGroup : Runspace context: Executing user: <executinguser>, Executing user organization: , Current organization: , RBAC-enabled: Disabled.

I'm running a migration for a small customer (about 400 mailboxes). half of the mailboxes are migrated just a couple of random mailboxes failed with this error. Has anyone faced/worked around this issue? I've tried following with no success: -Tried after a server restart -Tried creating a new batch ---- Error ---------------------------------------------------------------- Data migrated: 46.29 MB (48,542,751 bytes) Migration rate: Error: SourceMailboxAlreadyBeingMovedPermanentException: Couldn't switch the mailbox into Sync Source mode. This could be because of one of the following reasons: Another administrator is currently moving the mailbox. The mailbox is locked. The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service (MRS) doesn't have the correct permissions. Network errors are preventing MRS from cleanly closing its session with the Mailbox server. If this is the case, MRS may continue to encounter this error for up to 2 hours - this duration is controlled by the TCP KeepAlive settings on the Mailbox server. Wait for the mailbox to be released before attempting to move this mailbox again. --> -->246Views0likes2CommentsTwo Exchange servers in one domain
Hello everybody, I want ask you, because I can’t find how “Exchange magic” works. I have two seperate Exchange DAG clusters in one domain, with different DNS records and different Virtual Directories URLs. Servers are on two physically diferent locations, but we create a direct connection between two locations for migration mailboxes in near future. We notice sometimes clients from old enviroment can connect through new enviroment and access to mailboxes on old servers. How is it possible? What communication ongoing between old and new Exchange enviroments? Can somebody explain me specifically? Thank you very much for answer to this mystery.sie65Feb 14, 2025Copper Contributor75Views0likes6CommentsMy Personal Meeting Invites Going to Shared Mailbox
Hello Everyone, I am encountering a problem that I cannot seem to resolve. Whenever I receive a meeting invite, it not only appears in my personal inbox but also in the inbox of a shared mailbox to which I belong. This issue has been persistent since I started at the company, and our Exchange Admin has been unable to determine the cause. I have verified that I do not have any rules set up in Outlook to forward these invites to the shared mailbox, nor do I have any delegation or sharing settings enabled. Interestingly, I am the only member of this shared mailbox experiencing this problem. I am using Outlook for Mac. Has anyone else encountered this issue and, if so, how did you manage to fix it? Thank you!dsalivaFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor14Views0likes1CommentPurview Retention Policy to target mailboxes in a security group?
Hi. not sure if I’m just being dumb, but it seems such a basic thing. I’ve created a purview retention policy, and I want to assign it to specific mailboxes. I seem to only have the option of “all users” or manually specify individual mailboxes. No option to select security groups…? Any advice appreciated. thanks.SolvedBishopstonITFeb 13, 2025Brass Contributor26Views0likes2CommentsCannot connect to an on prem 2019 Exchange mailbox
Hi, I am having all weird issues trying to get my home laptop to configure an Outlook (M365 apps) account to connect to our work on prem Exchange. It times out as if it can't talk to the Exchange server. I created a new computer profile then tried, it actually worked, I could see my mailbox, send and receive email. Later I deleted the profile, tried again in the same local computer profile, it failed with the same behavior as above. When I do an 'nslookup austodiscover.mydomain.com.au' it resolves correctly to WAN IP where our server is located behind. Other people have no issue connecting externally, so there's nothing wrong with the firewall or server communicating with external Outlook clients. My work computer connects fine on the LAN. I brought my home laptop into the LAN, it still doesn't work. DNS issue right? Well, as mentioned, the autodiscover nslookup works and I don't have any other weird DNS related issues. There's just something really flaky going on with my computer.Sky8BlueFeb 12, 2025Copper Contributor96Views0likes9Comments
