If we are trying to run Microsoft Outlook without success, we can check add-ins used in Outlook

Try to run Microsoft Outlook in safe mode like below:

Outlook.exe /safe

 

If Outlook will start in safe mode, go to Add-ins options and disable any 3rd party add-ins you see:

  • On the File tab, click the Options category
  • Click Add-ins
  • Select COM Add-ins from the Manage box, and then click Go
  • Click to clear the check box for any add-ins that you want to disable
  • Click OK, and then restart Outlook

Exchange 2010 get Mailbox Permissions

Exchange 2010 MailboxPermission

Last time we explained how to add permissions to mailbox or mailbox folder in Microsoft Exchange 2010.

But what if we need to check users permissions for mailboxes ?

To check permissions assigned to mailbox we need to use Get-MailboxPermission CMDlet.

But if we run:

Get-MailboxPermission JSmith

we will get list of all permissions including owner and inherited permissions

W can filter permissions by adding where with specified options like below, where we don’t want to get owners permissions and inherited permissions in output list:

Get-MailboxPermission JSmith | where {$_.user.ToString() -ne "NT AUTHORITY\SELF" -and $_.IsInherited -eq $false}

 

If we need to check all mailboxes on server MX01 we need to add Get-Mailbox and pipline output to Get-MailboxPermission like below:

Get-Mailbox -server MX01 -ResutlSize Unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission JSmith | where {$_.user.ToString() -ne "NT AUTHORITY\SELF" -and $_.IsInherited -eq $false}

 

To check only Send-As permissions we can run following command:

Get-Mailbox -server MX01 -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-ADPermission | where {($_.ExtendedRights -like “*Send-As*”) -and ($_.IsInherited -eq $false) -and -not ($_.User.ToString() -like “NT AUTHORITY\SELF”)}

 

But if we want to list permissions to mailbox folder we have to use Get-MailboxFolderPermission CMDlet and choose folder to check.

This example will check permissions to JSmith mailbox calendar folder:

Get-MailboxFolderPermission –identity “JSmith*:\Calendar”

Few days ago, we wrote about problems with Apple mobile devices updated to iOS6, and also we wrote how to check mobile devices connected to mailboxes in Exchange 2010.
Below you can find link to last post:

Exchange 2010 ActiveSync Devices list

 

Now because lot of people have problems with mobile devices with iOS6 connected to mailboxes on Exchange 2010, we want to show you how you can get check how many mobile devices are connected to mailboxes in your Exchange 2010 environment.

To get list of all mobile devices connected to mailbox JSmith use below command:

Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox JSmith | ft DeviceType, DeviceUserAgent, LastSuccessSync

 

Now we need to get all mailboxes from MB01 server and get list of all mobile devices which were used to connect to those mailboxes.
To do this we need to use both command:  Get-Mailbox and Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics

If we want to get all mailboxes from MB01 server:

$MBXs = Get-Mailbox -server MB01 -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox –ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled -eq $false}

 

Now we need to check mobile devices:

MSFTESQL error after applying Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 SP2:

After updating yours Exchange 2010 SP2 environment to Rollup 4 or Rollup 4-v2 you can find errors in EventLog like below:

Event 4999:

Watson report about to be sent for process id: 14116, with parameters: E12, c-RTL-AMD64, 14.02.0297.000, ExMSFTE, M.E.Search.ExSearch, M.E.S.Crash.CrashNow, M.E.Common.FailFastException, 678e, 14.02.0318.001.
ErrorReportingEnabled: False

Event 64772:

The filter daemon process MSFTEFD exited unexpectedly. Here is the stack trace:

Event 1053:

The system exception c000010a was raised at 000007FEF9B60F16. Stack:

Also you can expirence problems with CPU utilization is reaching 100% during mailbox moves. All utilization is consumed by msftefd.exe

Those symptoms looks very similar to symptoms described for Exchange Server 2007:

The Msftefd.exe process constantly consumes up to 100 percent of CPU resources

Error message occurs on a server that is running Exchange Server 2007 and that has the mailbox server role installed

 

Sometimes helps applying the following hotfix to Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0:

Filterpack2010-kb2597139-fullfile-x64-glb.exe

If you uninstall Rollup 4 for Exchange 2010 SP2 the errors won’t appear anymore.
