We have been having some issues with some of the features with Exchange 2010 that a previous person has setup.


Current issues are:

- Mail tips don't work
- Mail tracking doesn't work
- Out of Office doesn't work
- Can't share a calendar in Outlook 2010 only works in 2007
- Can't connect a Mac using Outlook
- Webmail options don't work - I keep on getting a login page.

My current version of Exchange 2010 is 14.00.0722.000.

Instead of trying to update the the exchange server and hoping that it would fix all my issues I decided just to create a new VM and just finished installing all the Windows updates. I'm now at the point to ready to install Exchange 2010/sp1 but I'm wondering
if this is my best options.

I have no idea what the other person has done but I have now inherited this mess and I want to get it fixed.


What would you do? Are all my problems related? If I create a new Exchange server, it is easy to move the mailboxes over? I'm at a total lost of what I should do so I need some suggestions.


Thanks for your help.

Hi,
All of your problems is realated and has to do with Webservices.
Probably some misconfigured URL for WebServicesVirtualDirectory. It also seems like Autodiscover isn't working for you and that is usually caused by using using a selfsigned certificate that the client doesn't trust.
If I were you, I would start by troubleshooting Autodiscover and you will get a lot of good information by running
Test-OutlookWebServices in Exchange Management Shell (EMS)

Exchange 2010 RTM hasn't been supported since October last year, so suggest that you install
SP2 and
RU3.
If you decide to install a new Server (I don't think you need to) don't go for SP1.

Hi,
I can see that you don't have a trusted certificate installed, instead you have the one certificate that was created during the Exchange Setup.
This is something you should do something about!
The best is to buy a certificate from a trusted authority, for exampel
GoDaddy or Cerificate for Exchange and the names you would need is:
Common Name: mail.melbaschools.org

Subject Alternative Names:
mail.melbaschools.org
autodiscover.melbaschools.org (if this your smtpdomain)
ServerMX2.msdk12.local

One easy way to create the certificate request, is to use
DigiCert's Exchange 2010 CSR Tool
Digicert also has some very nice guides on how to create the request and install the certificate, when you get it form the Trusted Authority.

It also looks like you have redirect configured for the Virtualdirectories in IIS. Go thru all of them, like OWA, ECP, EWS etc and remove it.
See: Simplify the Outlook Web App URL

Installing SP2 and RU3 will not solve your problem, but I really recommend you to do so.

So if I only have redirect on exchange, exchweb and public I should remove it? No other directories in IIS have this. Would this be causing all my issues? Thanks for your help.

Where is the redirect from mail.melbaschools.org to

comming from and why do you use port 80?

That is not a good combination with EWS using port 443.

I think you should patch your server. That might fix your problem with EWS, even if the above looks good but your test with Test-Outlookwebservices didn't. It really looks like you have a redirect there.

I was looking at the OWA in IIS for redirection and I noticed it has a checkmark however it didn't have anything listed to the redirection. So, I removed the checkmark, restarted IIS and now web mail isn't work. So, I went to add the check mark
back but I can't save it because it wants me to enter something in for the redirection. The problem is nothing was listed so I don't know what i should be using.
When I type in webmail.melbaschools.org it's going to

I went into IIS and looked for redirection. Under OWA - Redirections - I had a checkmark but I didn't have anything listed to redirect too. So I removed the checkmark and everything stop working. I then went in and added /owa to exchange.
I then looked in OWA and redirections and it had the check mark again with /owa.

Now I'm stuck. Webmail isn't work anymore and I don't understand why.

I'm guessing that your users is not used to type /owa so you should add a redirection on the default web site and then remove the redirection that will be configured on the virtualdirectories with appcmd.

Please, do consider getting a certificate.

It's past midnight where I am, so it's time for me to do something else now :)
Please let me know how things go and I will check back in tomorrow. Maybe somebody else here in the Forum will take over..

So, I have updated my exchange server to SP2 and Ru3. I noticed with the last update, it's now using https (before it wasn't) and the look for the webmail has changed.
Now back to my problems, I'm still having issues accessing the options in webmail, out of office and mailtips still aren't working in Outlook 2010. What could be causing this issue?

Hi,
Yes, the OWA GUI is different. I was changed back in SP1.
SP2 also changed things regarding SSL, and that is described in the release notes. IF you really want to use port 80, you need to make a change in web.config. See the information about that in
Simplify the Outlook Web App URL

I want to go back to my second post in this thread...
What you really should do is to get a certficate from a trusted authority. Exchange is designed with security in mind and all URLs is by default configured with "https".

I don't know if you can get Outlook to work properly without it. It's not designed for it.

You might get it to work with port 80 in OWA, but you should make sure that all URLS (owavirtualdirectory,ecpvirtualdirectory, webservicevirtualdirectory) is configured the same way.
If webmail is what you are using,you should change all of them. Right now you have webservicesvirtualdirectory configured with

https://mail.melbaschools.org/EWS/Exchange.asmx
and I can only guess that you have

https://mail.melbaschools.org/ECP
configured as well.

Outlook relies heavily on Autodiscover, so please read this
White Paper: Exchange 2007 Autodiscover Service (same in EX10)

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332063(EXCHG.80).aspx

I will work on getting a SSL cert, and post my result back in this thread.

I'm at the last step of assigning the cert and I'm not sure what options I should select (if any). I'm sure I read on another site that I have to go into IIS and install the cert, but I see I have the option on this screen. I'm a little
confused by this.

Hi,
I'm glad to see that you have fixed a certificate!

Certificates used for Exchange should never be assigned in IIS, so the person who wrote that was wrong.
Do check IIS in the wizard.

Hi,
Any errors when you run Test-OutlookWebServices ? Is the problem with Outlook, OWA or both and has the other problems been resolved?

Can you run the below command and post the output?

Get-ClientAccessServer | fl Identity,AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUriGet-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl Identity,internalurl,externalurlGet-OwaVirtualDirectory | fl Identity,internalurl,externalurlGet-EcpVirtualDirectory | fl Identity,internalurl,externalurl


I can see that you added the name ServerMX2 in your certificate and not ServerMX2.msdk12.local.
The name your have configured for AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri must be a name that you have in your certificate. If


Also, do recyle the application pool MSExchangeAutodiscoverAppPool in IIS and restart an Outlook Client. That usually triggers Outlook to check for new Autodiscover settings.

Maybe I'm not using the right command, how do you set Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory and Get-EcpVirtualDirectory

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>set-EcpVirtualDirectory -internalurl
https://webmail.melbaschools.org


cmdlet Set-EcpVirtualDirectory at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
