Your password couldn't be changed in OWA 2013

Your users might get an error while changing their password through Outlook WebApp (Exchange 2013) stating:
Your password couldn't be changed. Make sure the old password you typed is correct and that the new password meets the minimmum security requirements.



On the other hand password change through Windows in Site 2 is successful. Password Group Policy is OK and it is working in primary site.

Setup:
Two sites | Two domain controllers, each in its own site

If Exchange servers are in other site than users trying to change their password, open port 464 in firewall for Exchange servers to let Exchange communicate with domain controller in other site.

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.
