Internal mails get sent to primary smtp instead of alias
Hey there, in our company we have a service mailbox (user mailbox) with several aliases for different top level domains. Before they were all separate mail boxes with different mail rules, but for simplicity and management we merged they all on the main (.com) domain and combined the mail/forwarding rules. Now we have the issue that internal mails sent/forwarded to the alias domains, automatically get resolved and sent to the primary SMTP address and therefore the mail rules don't get triggered. Alias also won't show in the mail header. We have already deleted all offline address books(OAB), enforced the use of the GAL (via client and registry) and cleared all caches. Also, not all internal mail accounts are affected, since this usually happens with accounts which are in the delegation of the service mailbox (via security group) yet not all of them are affected. Any suggestions?Exchange archive mailbox migration license issue
Hi all, I have a situation where my environment is in a hybrid state with users ready to migrate. Some users are over 100GB but less 240GB, the Microsoft article on migrating large mailboxes says i have to provision the cloud archive first, but the documentation on this says i need a license. What's confusing me is if assign a license before they migrate this creates a whole new mailbox and all sorts of screwy thing happen and you have to clean up etc.. so, you instead assign the license after the migration.., but the cloud archive docu. is saying I need to assign a license for the cloud archive first. Has this changed where i can create the Cloud archive on-prem and migrate without needing a mailbox? am i missing something?
Exchange Hybrid connector validation from o365 to on-prem
We recently setup Exchange Hybrid on Classic mode. Completed without errors. During setup we ensure that the Transport Certificate is valid and we assigned our 3rd party cert. We checked on IIS that "Default Front End" certificates are assigned with 3rd party cert. IIS 'Exchange Back End' is using the private "Exchange Server" certificate. When checking Exchange online connectors and validating the O365-Onprem connector, it errors with "450 4.4.317 Cannot connect to remote server [Message=SubjectMismatch Expected Subject: ...... Thumbprint:######" When troubleshooting and Checking the certificate thumbprint from the error message on the server. Determined that the thumbprint belonged to the private certificate used in the 'Exchange Back End' Not sure why it's presenting the wrong certificate and not the front-end certificate? Normal email flow is still working. Appreciate anyone's feedback.Exchange Decommissioning Set-Remotemailbox command
Hi all, I have a situation where someone was with a hybrid Exchange Server configuration was using scripts to provision accounts with Set-RemoteMailbox. Testing was being done with the recipient management using the exchange management and noticed mailboxes are being provisioned and working as expected without even running their set-remotemailbox commands and are curious if this is even needed anymore. So I guess my question is, at this stage where .\CleanupActiveDirectoryEMT.ps1 is the last thing to do, would set-remotemailbox still be necessary, and what would it be used for. I know usually you can just create an on-prem mailbox, synced and license, so I'm not sure if set-remotemailbox is required for new mailboxes or but I'm thinking it's for managing mailboxes that were previously migrated. Thanks for any input.

MS Teams and Exchange 2016 (Hybrid) calendar integration
Hi, We have setup Exchange hybrid (Classic full) with Exchange 2016. All mailboxes are currently hosted on-premises on Exchange 2016. AAD connect is setup to sync users. I noticed that new HCW doesn't configure federation anymore. I am looking to understand the requirements to have Microsoft Teams calendar working for on-prem mailbox users. Please advise on the requirements to achieve it and point me to any articles that can assist in setting this up. Thanks
Existing O365 Environment with AD and Introducing Azure AD Connect
I have an all cloud email environment in O365 but an on-premises Active Directory environment. We must introduce Azure AD Connect to get the two environment aligned. I know what I need to do to soft match the O365 accounts with the on-premise AD accounts. I also know I need at least an Exchange Management Tools server to management my users that will now be sourced on-premises. What I do not know is if I need to run the Hybrid Configuration Wizard. There is absolutely no mail currently on-premises and there never will be. Do I still need to run HCW in this situation? Thanks.
It cannot show items in office 365 groups which were migrated from onprem Exchange Public folder
Our another engineer migrated specific public folders in on-prem exchange to office 365 groups, then when it successfully migrated to office 365 groups, we can show items on office 365 groups in the outlook client and owa, but when we see items in mobile outlook (ex, Both Android and iOS) , it is hard to see items even if there are items, anyone know why it happens, and do you have any solution in that situation? Customer environment is Exchange 2016 Hybrid structure they are using.
