We have several Room Resources setup in Exchange 2013. When people are looking at the room calendar they would see the name of the organizer rather than subject of the meeting. Here are the commands you can run so that the appointments will show the subject instead. Note: If you already have appointments on the…
We started getting reports that some people were not getting their email on their mobile devices. I did some checking and this appeared only effect mailboxes that were in databases on a specific server. While troubleshooting this problem I saw some event id 2002 messages that read: “[Eas] The number of outstanding proxy requests for…
We require our users to change their password periodically like most organizations. I’m also sure like other organizations, our users typically ignore the warnings when logging in until they are no longer able to login. As an added awareness, we have scripts that run daily and send emails to users who’s passwords are getting ready…
So I did some updates on our Exchange 2013 servers last week, and then started getting some complaints that people couldn’t see there calendar when the logged into OWA. Once you logged into OWA and clicked the Calendar, it would load a blank calendar and not have any appointments showing (you also couldn’t see the…
We have an Exchange admin that when he attempted to login to ECP he would get a 500 error. The simple solution was to add a mailbox to his domain admin account. Once that was done he was able to login to ECP just fine. From reading the article belew, this might be an indication…
Earlier this week I started getting alerts that our Exchange 2013 server was running low on disk space for our transaction logs. When I started looking at the drive, I noticed that one of the databases was generating a new log file every 1 – 2 seconds and by the time I received the notification…
We have several room resources in our Exchange 2013 environment. Occasionally, we need to make changes so new people can actually see what appointments are scheduled and not just see “busy” in the time slot. I used to be able to make these changes via Exchange Management Console in previous versions of Exchange; however, it looks like I have to go to Exchange Management Shell now.

Today we had someone make a request for a few users to be able to see what appointments were scheduled for some room resources. They didn’t want these people to add any appointments, but just needed to be able to see what was scheduled rather than seeing “Busy”. I came across this site which has the PowerShell commands to set the Reviewer permission. The article talks about changing the Default user permission which is not what I wanted to do. So I used add–mailboxfolderpermission cmdlet instead of the set-mailboxfolderpermission cmdlet.

At work we are getting ready to create new user accounts for everyone and move their mailbox from the current AD account to the new account. The reason for this is a bit lengthy, but a big reason is people have been granted permissions based on their AD account rather than by group membership. So by switching AD accounts we can clean things up a bit. Currently the format of our usernames is first initial last name (example: John Doe is JDoe), and we will be changing to a first name dot last name format (example: John.Doe).…
Today I’ve been looking into how I can create and Exchange Mailbox using PowerShell.
A little background. We have been using PowerShell to create new Active Directory accounts for awhile, but hadn’t looked into being able to create the mailbox on Exchange at the same time. The biggest problem (more a concern) is that I thought we needed to install the Exchange Management Tools (EMC and EMS) on our domain controllers or admin desktops. I was concerned these servers and computers wouldn’t get updated at the same time as our Exchange Servers and I didn’t want services packs and other updates to get out of sync.…
