Several factors may lead to the issue when the Office 365 users don’t receive any confirmation after you successfully schedule a meeting or an appointment for an on-premises room mailbox in either Outlook client or Outlook Web App in Office 365. To solve it, please check the following settings:

  1. If your on-premises room mailboxes are not hosted on Exchange 2010 or 2013, please move the room mailboxes to Exchange server 2010/2013 mailbox server first.
  2. Check if the room mailboxes are set to automatically accept the booking requests.
  3. Also, once the room mailboxes are hosted on Exchange server 2010/2013 mailbox server, please set the ProcessExternalMeetingMessages parameter to True by running the following cmdlet on the on-premises Exchange server:

Set-CalendarProcessing ”<Room Name>”  –ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $True

——————————————————————

1. All on premise mailboxes are on Exchange 2010

2. All room mailboxes are set to automatically accept the booking requests

3. I checked the ProcessExternalMeetingMessages on all of the rooms and it was set to $false. I set them to true and then tried booking a room twice. I did not receive a response back either time. It was still set as Tentative. I’ll try again later to see if the problem takes some time to propagate through the system.

Message Tracking tips in Exchange 2007 / Exchange 2010 using CMD lets

On 2012-04-12, in Exchange 2007, Exchange 2010, by Mattias Jönsson

From Peter Peedu blog : Link

Since message tracking in Exchange 2007/2010 does not have the same intuitive interface as we have in Exchange 2003, performing message tracking can be tricky.

Most people do not need to use message tracking in their everyday work and therefore it’s hard to really get hands-on practice.

I have collected a few samples that might help you in your Message tracking adventure.

Get-Exchangeserver | where {$_.isHubTransportServer -eq $true -or $_.isMailboxServer -eq $true} | Get-Messagetrackinglog -sender user@domain.com -MessageSubject ”Subject of message” -Start ”8/27/2010 7:00 AM” -End ”8/27/2010 11:00 AM” | Select-Object Timestamp,Clienthostname,eventid,source,sender,@{Name=”Recipients”;Expression={$_.recipients}},Recipientcount,serverhostname,SourceContext | Export-Csv c:\temp\Messageinfo.csv

Then we could use Excel to work with the data we just exported.

Changing OWA time out on an Exchange 2007 and 2010

On 2012-04-11, in Exchange 2007, Exchange 2010, by Mattias Jönsson
0

If you ever wondered how long it takes for your browser to close after opening OWA ( outlook web App) if there is no activity?  here are the measurements.

  • Public 15 minutes
  • Private 8 hours

 

For whatever reason you may have if you decide to change these default values here is the link how to get the work done. The simplest way to achieve desired goal is using PS. Let’s say we will increase the Public cookie time out settings from 15 minutes to 25 minutes.

 

set-ItemProperty ’HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchange OWA’ -name PrivateTimeout –value 25 -type dword

 

copy and paste above PS code into  EMS ( management Shell) , adjust the time as you wish , in this case we are going to set it to “25” minutes….

Cookies to control access

The first time that the user name and password are sent to the Client Access server to authenticate an Outlook Web App session, an encrypted cookie is created that’s used to track user activity. When the user closes the Internet browser or clicks Sign Out to sign out of their Outlook Web App session, the cookie is cleared. The user name and password are sent to the Client Access server only for the initial user sign-in. After the initial sign-in is complete, only the cookie is used for authentication between the client computer and the Client Access server.

Exchange 2010 Boot camp from ExchangeServerPro.com – And it’s free!

On 2012-04-11, in Exchange 2010, by Mattias Jönsson
0

Like Microsoft’s own courses, the boot camp is focused on teaching you the core basics you need to set up and administer Exchange 2010 – it isn’t aimed at some of the more complex scenarios like multi-site DAG failover design, but then again the equivalent Microsoft courses don’t either, and they cost a lot of money to attend. But what this does cover is topics such as:

  • How to build your training lab
  • Setup of Windows and Active Directory
  • Installing Exchange Server 2010
  • Configuring Exchange roles including Mailbox, Client Access and Hub Transport
  • Management of recipients, including Mailboxes, Contacts and Distribution Groups
  • Backup and recovery of Exchange

The topics are split up into four modules, and each module is split up into a number of different videos that are easy to digest – for example the Recipient Management module is split up into 6 videos of around 10 minutes or under.

To sign up for Paul’s free training, visit exchangeserverpro.com/training. After a quick sign up process all the training is available on-demand.. Enjoy!
