February 29th 2008 - the day you spent with your Exchange server

A lot of Exchange administrators that restarted their Exchange servers on 29th February this year, ended in endless research of discovering why they can't create mailboxes, enable mailboxes or even start Exchange setup.

The problem was not in network or any other service but in Exchange 2007 server's bug.

Nino Bilic from Exchange's team wrote on the team's blog:

After investigation of this problem we have learned that this problem would occur only if you have started or restarted the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service between 12:00AM UTC , Feb 29, 2008 and 12:00AM UTC, Mar 1, 2008. It is important to note that the times  involved are UTC, not local server time.

You can sleep in peace for at least 4 years :))))

 If you got this error checking the mail flow for a distribution group, it means the distribution group is closed and only internal senders can send e-mail to this group.

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...

Apple iPhone Text responses go to wrong country code

A user wrote: Recently I went to Portugal and when I was there I bought a sim card and put it in my iPhone 11 Pro, with my primary e-sim still in it. When I got home to Australia, I deactivated the Portugal sim-card, deleted it and took the sim card out. Now when someone call me I respond with text, my iPhone changes the calling numbers country code to +31. I had the same problem. Despite turning "Dial assist" on/off, checking Country, Language and all the suggested stuff it did not work for me. What I did at the end was deleting country prefix from contact numbers --> Save --> Added country prefix again . It works now.
