Default Recipient Policy update error shows legacy MS and CCMAIL address policies

After the transition to Exchange 2007 you might find that the update of objects in Active Directory fails when you try to run Update of Default Recipient Policy. You get an error stating the there are legacy Exchange address policies (CCMAIL and MS) in Default Policy and update is not actually run. If you edit Default Policy in Exchange Management Console you see that there are none of MS and CCMAIL entries in your policy.

To resolve this issue you need to edit your policy in Active Directory using ADSIEdit tool and delete disabledGatewayProxy entries of MS and CCMAIL
  • Add ADSIEdit snap-in to MMC console (Support Tools must be installed in order to be able to add ADSIEdit)
  • Connect to Configuration Naming Context
  • Browse to Services --> Microsoft Exchange --> YOURORGANIZATON --> Recipient Policies
  • On the right click Properties of Default Policy
  • Click Show only objects with entries
  • Find disabledGatewayProxy
  • Edit its content
  • Remove:
    • MS:ORGANIZATIONNAME/ORGANIZATIONNAME
    • CCMAIL: at ORGANIZATIONNAME
  • Repeat this step for all the policies in your organization that include these two entries

Netscaler vs Exchange 2019 "time out during ssl handshake stage

If you are using Citrix Netscaler as load balancer in front of Exchange 2019 server you must know this: Microsoft Exchange 2019 is secured by default and allows only TLS 1.2. Therefore default schannel settings are as follows (using IISCrypto tool from Nartac Software): While Citrix Netscaler offers following Cipher Suites: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC2_CBC_40_MD5 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_EXPORT1024_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_DSS_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_DHE_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT1024_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA TLS_DH_anon_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA TLS_DH_anon_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA Now, you will fi

Exchange Admin Center language

Depending on your computer language settings, Exchange Admin Center can take those and open in a language you actually don't want to use. You'll Google that this can be changed if administrator/ admin user has mailbox by openening OWA settings and changing Regional parameters. But usually Admin user does not have mailbox or you don't want her/him to have it. You will search again and find that you can add mkt=en-US (as an example) to the URL of the Exchange Admin Center (https://yourexchangehostname/ecp?ExchClientVer=15&mkt=en-US) Third option you have is opening Internet Explorer settings (I am using Windows 2016) Click languages Click Set Language Preferences Add language you want to use by clicking Add language Use Move up or Move Down options to put desired language on top Close Internet Explorer Open it again and login again to Exchange Admin Center

Free/Busy missing - Cloud to On-Premises

We had a problem where M365 users could not retreive Free/Busy information from on-premise Exchange server. Hybrid setup was run and everything was working fine except this. After research I found out that TargetSharingEpr is the way to look at. There are many sites out there that are pointing to the same setting but only Set-OrganizationRelationship is used to change the value. The problem is, this value is available for two commands: Set-IntraOrganizationConnector Set-OrganizationRelationship While we changed the value in  Set-OrganizationRelationship it didn't work until we changed the value in  Set-IntraOrganizationConnector too. By default it should work with just  TargetAutodiscoverEpr but for us it didn't. Finally we ran this command on Intra Organization Connector which is used from Cloud to On-prem:  Set-IntraOrganizationConnector -TargetSharingEpr   https://mail.domain.com/ews/exchange.asmx And it worked.
