The problem of the peculiar cycle of failure.
Exchange 2010 no longer generate an automatic response (AutoReplay Outlook Out of Office). In Outlook 2010 does not also appear in the mail tips for absence.
There was no problem with setting OOF via Outlook and OWA.
Proved to be helpful to restart the Exchange Mailbox Assistants Services on the server.
The problem is basically trivial, but maybe someone will save time. The more that in Google for similar problems przypadu meets reconfiguration proposals and EWSa Autodiscover.
So before we start all over again to configure all the paths WebServices supported by the Exchange, we first try to restart the Exchange Mailbox Assistants service, perhaps so that we save a lot of time.

The solution can also be an additional dismount the database and mount it again.

In the case of DAG environment, just for a moment change the active database to another located on another server.

The new edition of Exchange Server also get a new tool to manage the Exchange organization.
This tool is called EAC or Exchange Administration Center and combines the consoles ECP (Exchange Control Panel) and EMC (Exchange Management Console).

With this move, the new console has gained mobility and allows you to manage Microsoft Exchange servers from any computer that meets certain requirements, however.

Microsoft Exchange 2013 installation requirements

Microsoft Exchange 2013 Preview can be downloaded here (it takes about 1.5 GB).

To install Exchange 2013 Preview requires that the Active Directory is located at least one domain controller to Windows Server 2008 and requires that in each Active Directory Site was a Global Catalog.

Exchange 2013 Preview can be installed in an environment where the level of the forest is at least Windows 2003.

During the installation of Exchange server roles, it is recommended that you first install the CAS role (Client Access Server), and MBX (Mailbox Server).

The network environment must support IPv4, IPv6 is also supported but may not be such a situation, we installed the Exchange 2013 Preview in the environment that only supports IPv6, the installation fails. So far we are probably not in danger.

As previously mentioned on our Blog, Exchange 2013 Preview does not work with Exchange 2003!

The Exchange 2013 Preview can install either the Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1 or on Windows Server 2012.

If someone is looking for Management Pack for Exchange 2010 SP1 to deploy it in your SCOM 2007R2 is rather a moment that is not found.
As it turns out after installing the MP monitor that checks the amount of free disk space for databases and logs, used a script-DatabaseSpace.ps1 troubleshoot.
Unfortunately, the monitor was configured to run every 5 minutes, and had set the timeout to 300 seconds. This caused the monitor in larger environments Exchange does not operate to the end.
In addition, the monitor was set to default parameters for the amount of free space that must be available for databases and logs (25% free space), and these parameters could not be changed.
