Exchange 2016 to SE and Exchange Online questions
Hi, We're currently in the process of migrating from Exchange 2016 to Exchange Subscription Edition (SE), along with moving a portion of our mailboxes to Exchange Online. We have approximately 3,000 mailboxes, and around 2,000 of those will eventually end up in Exchange Online—for various reasons (don’t ask why…). I have a few questions I'd like to clarify and hope you can assist: Exchange On-Premises Questions: If a user mailbox is moved to Exchange SE, can they still access shared or user mailboxes that remain on Exchange 2016? Do we need to migrate them in the same batch to preserve access/permissions? (should't be an issue in the same Exchange Org right?) If a shared mailbox is migrated to Exchange SE while the user mailbox remains on Exchange 2016, will access still work? Do we need to point the Hardware Load Balancer (HLB) to the new Exchange SE servers before mailbox moves to allow proper client connectivity and proxying back to Exchange 2016? Or is it okay to keep the HLB pointed to the Exchange 2016 servers until all migrations are complete and then switch it over? Proxy upwards from Exchange 2016 to Exchange SE? What’s the best practice here? Pros/cons? Exchange Online Questions: If we want all outbound mail to go through the on-prem Exchange environment—even for Exchange Online mailboxes—is this configured via the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW)? Is the Litigation Hold status preserved when migrating a mailbox to Exchange Online? Can a mailbox hosted in Exchange Online access a shared mailbox still residing on-prem? (Should't be an issue right?) Can an on-prem mailbox access a shared mailbox that has been migrated to Exchange Online? For mailboxes with Full Access or Send As permissions (e.g. user mailboxes tied to shared mailboxes), do they need to be migrated together in the same batch to retain functionality? We’ll be using native Microsoft migration tools (no 3rd-party solutions). If I recall correctly, separate migrations will still allow Full Access?!?, but Send As may not work properly unless migrated together. Is that still accurate?
External tag applied to internal users hidden from GAL
We have noticed our users who are hidden from the GAL have the external tag applied to their Profile Card as well as mail sent to other internal users. I suspect this may be related to the recent roadmap item, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=498231. Was this an expected behavior for internal users?
How do you identify the "You've joined the xxx group" emails?
When you join a microsoft 365 group via Outlook you get an email (apparently from yourself) to say you have joined it. How do you actually identify these emails on Exchange? I've looked at the headers but nothing really stands out. I need to exclude these types emails from rules.Send admin notifications on x number of messages from an email address
Hi, We're having a problem with a repeat spam/phishing offender that recycles email addresses from a particular domain. Because the email address is new it hasn't had a chance to be picked up by blacklists, so it doesn't get picked up as spam. We can't block on content, subject or sender because it all changes so for these campaigns we're relying on user reports to give us the heads up. We also can't block the domain because we receive legitimate email from the domain also. I'd like to change this so we can hit them before users notice and possibly whilst the spam campaign is in flight but I'm unsure as to how to go about it. Is there a rule or other setting I can configure which sends notifications to specific e-mail addresses if, say 100 emails were received from any email address (or from a specific domain?) within an hour, or 5 hours? I don't see how I can configure such a rule in mailflow rules so I'm guessing this might be somewhere else. There's an element of us likely being falsely alerted to marketing campaigns, but hopefully it's configurable enough that we can limit it down to only applying this against a specific sender domain, or adding a new custom mailflow rule which will lower the likelihood of false positives. Many thanks, - Lsward
One 365 mailbox and several non 365 mailboxes
I am trying to configure the situation where I have one user on a microsoft 365 subscription and several other users on the domain using IMAP. I have configured the domain to send emails to the 365 subscriber and that works. However I am battling to get emails to the IMAP users. I have set up connectors to and from 365 and they validate correctly. However when I try to send a message from outside to one of the IMAP users I get Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.4.14 Hop count exceeded - possible mail loop ATTR34 On researching this there are various tutorials which suggest loading exchangeonlinemanagement, connnect to the domain and execute Start-EdgeSynchronization I then get an error telling me the command is not recognised. Having searched it seems this command is only for on premises exchange servers and not the on line subscription model have. Any pointers to where I am going wrong would be gratefully received.
Exchange Server SE Hybrid License and Upgrades
Hi, I have a question about Exchange Server SE. Reading the FAQ I found this: As with previous versions, Exchange Server SE will continue to provide free licenses for qualified hybrid use via the Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW); however, unlike previous versions, you will need to either purchase SA for this license to get Exchange Server updates or have a cloud subscription license that satisfies the requirements. Does this mean I need to have SA to do the updates? Which cloud licenses do I need to buy to be able to update Exchange Server SE? Thanks RegardsMultiple objects with Sid S-1-5-10 were found.
When I tried to set exchange on-premise user mailbox permission, I'm getting the below error. I have used the below script. What we missed ? This works for some objects. $sid = "S-1-5-10"; Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "TestExchange213" -User $sid -AccessRights FullAccess -confirm:$false;
