14. Upgrading Tips
SP2 includes database schema updates
 Upgrading from RTM  SP2 can take a while (20-30
minutes) due to database schema upgraders that run
 Look for instances of MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store
event 1185 in event log
 Once a mailbox database has been upgraded to a later
version, it cannot be moved to an earlier version (e.g.,
database *over or database portability use is limited
during upgrade period)

15. Upgrading Tips
Client Access Server role has new operating system pre-
requisites in SP2
 ASP.NET
 ISAPI Filters
 IIS 6 WMI Compatibility
Exchange Setup can install the new pre-reqs for you
 Setup /Mode:Upgrade /InstallWindowsComponents

16. Upgrading Tips
SP2 includes some updated RBAC management role definitions
 If you manage Exchange 2010 from a pre-SP2 server in an Org that
has been updated to SP2 you will get warning messages
 Exchange Management Shell
 WARNING: The object MyMailboxDelegation has been corrupted,
and it's in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors
happened: WARNING: The property value you specified, "15",
isn't defined in the Enum type "ScopeType".
 Exchange Management Console
 The object MyMailboxDelegation has been corrupted, and it's in
an inconsistent state. The following validation errors happened:
The property value you specified, "15", isn't defined in the Enum
type "ScopeType".

17. Upgrading Tips
Mailbox Replication Service (MRS) has changed in SP2
 MRS Proxy will be disabled on upgrade to SP2 (thus, cross-
forest mailbox moves will not be processed)
 Enable using Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -
MRSProxyEnabled
 MaxMRSProxyConnections

Execute this script on each CAS
directory to an IIS web application, and create a new
application pool called MSExchangeOabAppPool
Converting the OAB virtual directory is necessary to
support Kerberos authentication, which we recommend
See http://aka.ms/f2ndij for more information

21. New Scripts - ExPerfwiz.ps1
Formerly an out-of-band tool; now shipped in the product!
Helps automate the collection of performance data on
Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 servers
Automatically adds the appropriate counters for each
detected server role

22. New Scripts - LargeToken-
IIS_EWS.ps1
Solves issue where the size of the availability request
exceeds the limit when you have large access tokens (>
200)
This script and a companion script, LargeToken-
Kerberos.ps1, were actually first released in UR4 for
Exchange 2010 SP1
 LargeToken-IIS_EWS.ps1 increases the value of the
MaxFieldLength and MaxRequestBytes IIS parameters
and changes the EWS Web.config bindings on all CAS
in the site
See http://aka.ms/kknmtd for more info

23. New Scripts - LargeToken-
Kerberos.ps1
This script sets
HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlLsaKerberosParameter

24. Exchange Server 2010
Service Pack 2
Feature: Mini Version of Outlook Web App

25. Mini Version of Outlook Web
App
Feature driven by demand from markets where browser-
based phones still rule
Administer using PowerShell
This is not Outlook Mobile Access from Exchange 2003
 None of the Exchange 2003 code was re-used
 Completely new code built as a set of OWA forms

26. Mini Version of Outlook Web
App
Enabled and disabled using Set-OWAMailboxPolicy
 Set-OWAMailboxPolicy PolicyName -
OWALightEnabled:$True
Provides an alternative view of OWA, so
 OWA mailbox policies and segmentation are inherited
 Any unsupported features in the policy are disabled
 Features such as calendar, contacts, etc., can be enabled
or disabled on a per policy basis
 If a new language is added to OWA, mini version gets it

27. Exchange Server 2010
Service Pack 2
Feature: Hybrid Configuration Wizard

28. Hybrid Configuration Wizard
EMC-based wizard plus cmdlets for setting up on-
premises Exchange and Office 365 to work together – in
Hybrid mode
Vastly simpler process than the current SP1 manual
experience
What once took ~49 steps, now takes 6 (your mileage
may vary)
 >80% reduction for the administrator

29. Exchange Server 2010
Service Pack 2
Feature: Address Book Policies

30. Address Book Policies
Common Scenarios
 Legal or compliance reasons – People are not allowed to see
each other in the GAL
 Privacy reasons – School scenario where students can‟t see other
classes but are all in one school
 Optimization reasons – Organization has logical sub-divisions but
still needs to share some resources and infrastructure (MSN and
Xbox)
 Hosting reasons – You want to host multiple organizations on one
platform and don‟t want them seeing each other
 Usability reasons – You have a huge GAL which is hard to
navigate, the sort order may be mixed up, or the GAL may simply
be massive (US Army or DoD)

31. Address Book Policies
Address Book Policies (ABPs) enable you to achieve GAL
Segmentation in Exchange 2010
ABPs work on the principal of direct GAL and Address List
assignment rather than allowing or denying access to all
available lists
Any request that comes through the Address Book Service
on CAS is evaluated against the ABP assigned to the user

32. Address Book Policies
ABPs apply only to users and clients on Exchange 2010 that
use CAS for directory and
 Opens the address list picker
 Tries to resolve a name or an alias
 Adds a room resource to a meeting request
 Searches the GAL
 Searches the directory from Outlook Voice Access
 Queries the directory from a mobile device
 Views someone‟s DL memberships, or views the members
of a DL

33. Exchange Server 2010
Service Pack 2
Feature: OWA Cross-Site Silent Redirection

34. OWA Cross-Site Silent
Redirection via CAS in the „wrong‟ AD site, CAS has a decision
If you access OWA
to make
It can proxy or redirect the connection to the target site
 If there is no ExternalURL in that site, we proxy, the mailbox opens
and the user gets access
 If the target site has an ExternalURL the user gets a page with a
link to click
 The user clicks the link, and logs in again, and gets access
 The user has to log in twice
 We are removing the need to click the link
 Which for some scenarios will result in a Single Sign On
experience

35. Experience: Before After
and

36. OWA Cross-Site Silent
Redirection
Enabled on Internet-facing CAS, on a per OWA virtual directory
basis
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory –Identity “CAS1owa (default Web
site)”
–CrossSiteRedirectType Silent
When you enable silent redirection
 You will be informed that the target CAS must have an
ExternalURL that leverages HTTP SSL protocol
 You will receive a warning that single sign-on experience
may not be possible if FBA is not enabled

37. Additional Enhancements
in SP2

38. Additional Enhancements in
SP2
Disable Mailbox Auto-Mapping
 Outlook 2007/2010 can map to any mailbox to which a user
has Full Access and, through Autodiscover, automatically
loads all mailboxes to which the user has Full Access
 If the user has Full Access to a large number of mailboxes,
performance suffers when starting Outlook
 SP2 enables admin to disable this behavior by setting new
Automapping parameter for Add-MailboxPermission to
False
 See http://aka.ms/gxxxk1 for steps

39. Additional Enhancements in
SP2
Custom Attribute Enhancements
 Five new multi-value custom attributes
(ExtensionCustomAttribute1 to ExtensionCustomAttribute5)
that you can use to store additional information for mail
recipient objects
 Each can hold up to 1,300 values, and support multi-values
by using comma-delimited list
 Supported by Set-DistributionGroup, Set-
DynamicDistributionGroup, Set-Mailbox, Set-MailContact,
Set-MailUser, Set-MailPublicFolder, Set-RemoteMailbox

40. Additional Enhancements in
SP2
Litigation Hold
 You can‟t disable or remove a mailbox that has been placed on
litigation hold; prior to SP2, you had to disable litigation hold
 SP2 includes new IgnoreLegalHold parameter that is supported by
the following cmdlets
 Disable-Mailbox
 Remove-Mailbox
 Disable-RemoteMailbox
 Remove-RemoteMailbox
 Disable-MailUser
 Remove-MailUser

41. Additional Enhancements in
SP2 Availability
High
 Move-ActiveMailboxDatabase has new
SkipActiveCopyChecks parameter which bypasses the
check to see if the copy being activated is currently
being used as a source for seeding
 If you use this parameter when activating a copy, the
seeding/update process will be terminated

42. Random Tips

43. Mailbox Database
Housekeeping you may need to periodically scan
In large environments,
Active Directory for disconnected mailboxes that aren't yet
marked as disconnected in the Information Store and
update the status of those mailboxes in the Store
You can use Clean-MailboxDatabase to do this, but that
requires mailbox database GUIDs
To get the GUID: Get-MailboxDatabase | fl Identity, Guid
Or simply run: Get-MailboxDatabase | Clean-MailboxDatabase

44. ActiveSync Approval
Delegation Help Desk folks to approve or deny EAS devices
Scenario: You want
without giving them Org Management rights
Solution
 Create mail-enabled security group used for quarantine
notifications
 Enable EAS quarantine and configure notification message
 Copy management role containing Set-CASMailbox
–ActiveSyncAllowedDeviceIDs cmdlet/parameter
 Remove all other management role entries from custom role
 Create new role group containing security group
 Add user to new role group and Recipient Management role

45. Get all Email Addresses for
Domain addresses for an SMTP domain, including those
All email
assigned to mail-enabled public folders
Get-Recipient | where {$_.emailaddresses
-match “contoso.com”} | fl name,emailaddresses
>>emailaddresses.txt

46. Analyze Message Tracking Logs
http://aka.ms/ExMailStats
Analyzes Message Tracking Logs and produces a .csv file
of mail stats per user, and keeps distribution list usage
Finds all Hub Transport servers in the Org, retrieves the
logs from the previous day, and generates stats for each
user, for both Internal and External emails, by primary
address, for
 Total Messages and Bytes Sent
 Unique Messages and Bytes Sent
 Total Messages and Bytes Received
