Exchange 2019 Certificate Error
Hello guys, I plan to migrate my users on Exchange 2019, currently, i have 2 Exchange 2013 servers. As soon as i installed the exchange Server 2019, I changed all the virtual directories and i also runned the command to make sure the users doesn't connect on the new server. But now every users who uses Microsoft Outlook from the environment have a pop up that says that the certificate is not valid, and its normal because I can't apply the services SMTP and IIS on my wildcard certificate. Indeed, when i enable the services SMTP and IIS on my new certificate, it doesn't apply. I tried to enable from the ECP, it says "Are you sure you want to replace the existing certificate", when i say yes, it doesn't change anything, the smtp service is still unchecked. I also tried to stop IIS and restart IIS, restart the server but it doesn't changed anything, and I also tried to enable the services directly with the powershell command with the correct thumbprint of the wildcard certificate as it is said on the event viewer : "Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Server "EX01-2019" -Thumbprint A6BC992FDD... -Services SMTP,IMAP,IIS -Force" But it still don't work, when i check the certificate, only the service IIS is active. I had to uninstall completely the exchange server, because users were complaining about the pop up. Have anyone faced this problem before? Thank you very much for your advices guys
Keep user account but provision new empty mailbox
i did ask in another forum but thought i would ask here as it seems impossible... we are hybrid exchange. We have litigation hold and purview retention policies in place. We have a scenario where an existing user is moving to a new role and her existing mailbox needs to be dissociated from her AD account and a new clean mailbox provisioned. The original mailbox needs to stay as inactive and searchable via ediscovery. Is it possible? I have asked AI and its said: Make sure all the holds and retention policies are in place Move the AD account to a non-syncing OU and run a delta sync The mailbox should show as inactive in exchange online Then it tells me to run Set-User <UserUPN> -PermanentlyClearPreviousMailboxInfo but ONLY if the recipient type shows as MailUser or User This is where i am stuck as it is still UserMailbox. It told me to restore the cloud only object which i did. But it still shows as RecipientType = UserMailbox when i check. Its now just a cloud only account, it has no license. The mailbox is inactive but its still a UserMailbox Is what i am trying to do possible? Would now just changing the cloud only account to have a new email address be the only way to retain it and then sync back the on-prem account?
Exchange 2010 to Microsoft 365 Migration – Recommended Approach and Tools
I’m looking for guidance on migrating Exchange 2010 (on-premises) to Microsoft 365 / Office 365. Is a direct migration from Exchange 2010 supported, or is an intermediate hop (such as upgrading Exchange or setting up a hybrid configuration) required? Additionally, could you please recommend any reliable tools that can help with this migration? I also have a few PST files that need to be migrated as part of the process. I’d appreciate insights on best practices, common challenges, and lessons learned from real-world migrations. Thanks in advance for your help.OWA “Manage Add-ins” Stuck Loading After Clicking Settings (Exchange 2019 CU15 / Exchange SE RTM)
I have an Exchange Server environment with three versions: Exchange Server 2019 CU14 Dec25SU, Exchange Server 2019 CU15 Sept25H, Exchange Server SE RTM, and Exchange Server SE RTM Dec25SU. Issue: When users click the Settings icon/button in OWA/Outlook on the web and then click Manage add-ins, the page does not redirect and remains stuck on an external loading screen. Tested environments: Exchange Server 2019 CU14 Dec25SU: Works without issues Exchange Server 2019 CU15 Sept25H, Exchange Server SE RTM, and Exchange Server SE RTM Dec25SU: Does not work on any of them Troubleshooting performed: Moved all arbitral mailboxes to a database on Exchange Server SE RTM Dec25SU (the most recent version in the forest). (No success) Migrated all servers to Exchange Server SE RTM Dec25SU. (No success) Isolated testing using the hosts file (DNS) pointing to each host individually, and all hosts have the issue. All SE RTM Dec25SU servers were installed in admin mode via Command Prompt. I also ran the two .ps1 scripts below on a test host after installing the SU: #learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/exchange/client-connectivity/owa-stops-working-after-update cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin" .\UpdateCas.ps1 .\UpdateConfigFiles.ps1 iisreset /restart Workaround: With the user already authenticated, if I manually open the URL below in the same authenticated session, it loads normally: webapp.mydomain.com/owa/#path=/options/manageapps Does anyone know how to fix this, or if this is a bug that started with CU15 (or a later SU)?

Microsoft announced the dates leading to the final retirement of Exchange Web Services from Exchange Online. If all goes well, the EWS retirement in the cloud will happen by May 2027. Challenges still exist. Microsoft must remove EWS from its own apps, including Outlook, and help tenants and ISVs make the leap to Graph APIs. Plans are in place and progress is being made, but will everyone be ready when Microsoft starts to remove EWS permanently from Exchange Online in April 2027? https://office365itpros.com/2026/02/06/ews-retirement-may-2027/
