Latest update to SBS 2011 Best Practice Analyzer recommends an invalid setting for OWA maxRequestLength

Latest update to SBS 2011 Best Practice Analyzer recommends an invalid setting for OWA maxRequestLength

The latest update for SBS 2011 Best Practice Analyzer incorrectly advises setting the OWA website's web.config maxRequestLength to the number of bytes set for the Exchange MaxSendSize. Following this advice broke OWA- I could see messages, but trying to delete a message failed with a cryptic "Error has occurred" message. Checking the IIS documentation shows that maxRequestLength is kilobytes, not bytes, and the existing limit is already very large. I don't think it needs changing. There is however an additional setting for maxAllowedContentLength which is in bytes. I raised that setting to the MaxSendSize without getting any errors in OWA.

I recommend ignoring this warning, or applying the setting to maxAllowedContentLength instead of maxRequestLength.

---BPA Warning---

Issue: The Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual directory for EWS has a maxRequestLength value that does not match the get-transportconfig MaxSendSize value.

Impact: Setting an incorrect or inconsistent MaxRequestLength value can cause email delivery failures or an HTTP 404 error in OWA. Additionally, users may not be able to use OWA to send as large a message as they can send by using the Outlook client itself.

Resolution:
1. Find the Web.config file on the Client Access server. The default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\exchweb\ews.
2. Make a backup copy of the web.config file.
3. Start the Exchange Management Shell and use powershell "get-transportconfig | ft MaxSendSize" to get the global max Send size, for example, 20M.
4. Find the maxRequestLength value, and change it to the value that you want. The value is in Bytes. The maxRequestLength value in the Web.config file: <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151" />. Make this value match the one from get-transportconfig command line.
5. Save and close the web.conifg file.

I just encountered this error as well.  The issue is that the instructions say to make the change to match the value (in Bytes) but the setting in the web.config file is actually in KB.  When you set the value in the web.config file in Bytes instead of KB, it exceeds the limit of the ASP.net thresholds and causes the OWA to stop working 100% (specifically seen by not being able to delete emails in OWA).

I've encountered the same problem while trying to comply with the MBCA recommendations.

It did not matter what value I set and if a iisreset /<server name> /restart was done.

The MBCA kept complaining.

I found out that Microsoft is already aware of the problem.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2699813

Known issues
After you install Update Rollup 3 for Windows Server Solutions BPA, and start Windows Server Solutions BPA in Small Business Server 2011 Standard, you receive the following error message:
The /EWS virtual directories maxRequestLength doesn't match the get-transportconfig MaxSendSize

The checking logic of this rule is incorrect. If you change the value in the rule after the resolutions, Microsoft Exchange Web Services users are affected. Additionally, some Outlook Web Access scenarios are broken. 

This issue does not occur if the maxRequestLength value is set to the default value of 2097151 (2GB).

You can safely ignore this warning on Small Business Server 2011 Standard servers.

Great Finding SelfMan . Kb article was revised on 25th of June and paul23 reported this on 14th of June . So yes , you are right Microsoft is already aware of this problem :-)

Thanks Microsoft! I made this change, my BPA error went away and the only people who ended up being affected were two remote Mac Mail users in another office. OWA worked, active sync everyone/everything but Mac mail. Here is a tought, push another one of your wonderful updates that fixes your error in BPA!

Wonder which other ones I am safer to ignore...

IMPORTING FIREWALL PROFILE

Hello All,

  As part of an install on a Win7 machine I am trying to use the neetsh command line to import a firewall profile. To test the command I tried running from a command prompt (see command below). When I do so I get an error: "Unable to import policy (error 0x522). Make sure that the file name is correct, that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid Windows Firewall policy file"

netsh advfirewall import C:\MyProfile.wfw

So after playing around with this I figured out that I have to open the command prompt as administrator. Just created a shortcut to cmd and the right click -> "Run as administrator"

The problem is that I am already logged in to my admin account.  Does anyone know of any setting that would keep me from really running everything as admin?

Hi,


It sounds like that the User Account Control (UAC) behaviour.


Windows uses split security tokens when you are logged on with the Administrator account and have UAC on. This means that normal actions will use a standard user token, and only actions that are explicitly marked as needing admin rights will use an Admin token.


You can turn off UAC or change the setting to check the result.


You can refer to this article:

Yes that was it... I messing with UAC by modifying the registry values while in WinPe to disable it. Turns out I made the reg values the wrong data type. I made REG_SZ and they should have been REG_DWORD, therefore my OS was acting weird.

How to display Start Screen and "Metro" Apps on my secondary monitor

Hi,

I've got a dual-monitor system.  Currently, the charms, start screen, and metro-style apps will only appear in the primary monitor (whichever one is so designated).  Moreover, when I slide-in from the sides on the secondary monitor, the charms and/or new apps will appear on the primary monitor rather than the secondary.

I have already had a couple of dual-screen Win-8 systems configured before that behaved differently.  For example, a couple of times I've hooked up laptops to a secondary monitor.  In both of these configurations, the metro UI was available and would appear on either monitor (but only on one monitor at a time).  However, with my current system, the metro UI is exclusively confined to whichever monitor is designated as the primary.  I'm using the "Extend these displays" option in the "Screen Resolution" dialog.

I wonder if this behavior is a bug.  Or perhaps it is an intentional fallback owing to system constraints. 

Any ideas?  THANKS!

My system:  Asus CM6870 Desktop PC, Planar PCT 2785 Monitor, Acer T232HL Monitor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 620

Try the Windows 8 Start Menu Modifier:

Change the screen to DISPLAY2, now it should work the way you want it.

Thanks.  I'll give try out the Start Menu Modifier utility.

However, I would prefer to see the behavior that I witnessed twice previously when I connected a laptop to an external monitor. In both of those configurations either monitor would pull up the charms or apps from the backstack on the monitor where the swipe gesture actually occurred.  I got used to that behavior and I'm fairly sure now that I would prefer it to the innovative behavior afforded by the Start Screen Modifier utility.  Nevertheless I am intrigued by it and I will try it out tonight.

At any rate, I have decided to return the Planar monitor. It's an expensive monitor and the text quality is relatively poor and the touch response is rather sluggish (comparing both of these characteristics to the Acer monitor).  And so when they finally become available in the stores, I'll replace the Planar with a 27" Acer.  But I am hoping to figure out this issue first because I'm not motivated to purchase another expensive touchscreen monitor unless the Win 8 OS behaves as expected.

So my original question remains: Is this a system configuration issue or a bug?

thanks again!

Make sure that you are testing it with a blank Desktop or at least without a Fullscreen IE window there.   E.g. after Win-D I would see what you want but with an IE Desktop window in Fullscreen mode there I do not.

End Point Protection Installation | Uninstalling the old AV

hello,

I ust recently deployed Endpoint protection by using SCCM 2012 client.

I chose the option "Automatically remove previously installed antimalware software before EndPoint Protection is installed".

but it didn't work (Kaspersky didn't uninstalled). Endpoint Protection is installed properly but the old AV was  still there.

what should I do in order to manage uninstalling old AV?

Kaspersky is not getting uninstalled when installing SCEP 2012. You have to create a package/script that uninstalls Kaspersky before installing SCEP.

New feature - Windows To Go (WTG)

Hi All,

One of new features that offers significant business value to move to Windows 8 is the USB Windows to go (WTG).  Windows To Go workspace is an enterprise feature of Windows® 8 that enables users to boot Windows from a USB-connected external drive.

Windows To Go drives can use the same image that enterprises use for their desktops and laptops, and can be managed the same way.  Offering a new mobility option, Windows To Go workspace is not intended to replace desktops or laptops, or supplant other mobility offerings.

Windows To Go will allow companies to support "Bring Your Own PC" scenarios and will give employees who need access to the corporate environment without security compromise.

With Windows To Go use rights under Software Assurance, an employee will be able to use Windows To Go on any company PC licensed with Windows SA as well as from their home PC. Additionally, through a new companion device license for SA, employees will be able to use WTG on their personal devices at work.

WTG will work with Windows 7 as well.

'Kingston', 'Super Talent Technology' & 'Western Digital' are certified USB drives for Windows to go.

For more information on WTG http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj592680.aspx#wtg_faq_who

I am really trying to think of a use for this. My experience is typical corporate environments use roaming profiles and domain logins, making it easy to log in to any computer you need. So it must be so you have the apps you need already installed, yet there can't be too many apps installed with the OS on a 32gb memory stick.

I guess I am struggling with finding a scenario where it will be useful. I guess if you have a salesman scenario where you have a couple of precreated apps you want to show people and don't want to carry a full laptop/tablet around.

With the issues of enabling all computers in the enterprise to boot from USB (turned off everywhere I have been to for security reasons) and the real probability of losing/forgetting the stick (I forgot it this morning, can't I just log in the regular way?) meaning that all of the existing roaming systems still need to be in place - I would like to hear some scenarios where this is a good fit.. I am obviously missing something

Remote Connectivityusing remote.domainname.com

I have a windows small business server 2011.  I had to reinstall my server, and now I forgot How did the remote connection using remote.domainname.com. Should I choose IIS6 or IIS7 to generate a certificate.  When I did with IIS7 and tried to install certificate for https port 443 it said it ia already taken.  I saw there something like 127.0.x.x.  I tried to do it on port 80 it came back with the same message.  I chose post 444.  Is that right?  Or I should go and replace the certificate on port 443.  If so how I do I do that?  Is there an article which clearly describes the remote conenectivity on the technet forums.  I did this last in February and I totally forgot.

1. I checked under the user and have permissions to access the machine remotely.  I am logging in as admin so I have connectivity permissions.

2. I have checked at godaddy site and made sure the entries are there.

3. I followed the procedure and rekeyed my certificate using the instructions provided by godaddy.com for IIS7.

4. I followed the procedure for installing the certificate on my machine using the procedure provided by godaddy.com for II7.

5. I tried to connect from inside network using remote.domaniname.com and it said the certificate is not valid and (probably it is connected to https as 444) and connected but cannot connect as admin to the server.

6. Tried to connect from outside and it said it cannot find the address.

7. Checked the sonicwall ports and https is 443.  There is not 444 port for https on the sonic wall. (Is this is the actual problem).

6.  ATT dsl service modem is on bridge mode, connected to sonicwall router, and server is connected to the switch which inturn is connected to soinc wall.

Help is appreciated.


Reply:

You are wildly over complicating things.

1) Use the SBS wizard and choose to purchase a certificate. This will generate your CSR.

2) Submit your CSR to GoDaddy or similar.

3) Get it approved

4) Download your certificate (IIS 7 format).

5) Re-run the wizard and choose "I now have my certificate"  and install it.

That's it! Oh, if your cert is from GoDaddy then you'll need to install the intermediate certificate, but the GD website tells you how to do that.

Port 443 is what you want.

I followed your excellent directions and installed certificates.  Now I tried both from inside the firewall and outside firewall to connect remotely.  Both times I am able to see the "Remote Web Access : Remote Workspace for User"  But when I try to login to the server which I see there,  when I click on it nothing happens.  But strangely from ipad using my RDP app I can login to the machine.  The only question ipad RDP asked was do you want to go this site once or always, or something like that.  I said always and it is all ok from ipad.  But regular windows computers I cannot access the machine.

Thanks.

I was able to run the Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup without issue. Only when doing it from the GUI did it error. 

I've uninstalled RU5 and error goes away. I re-installed RU5 and error came back. Since removed it as I don't have the time to troubleshoot this atm. 

Servers are running the latest Windows updates. 



Reply:

I can confirm this problem after installation Ru5, right now to fix this we have to uninstall RU5

How to Route Member Servers Mail to Master

Hi,

We have 2 Exchnage Server In a Sinfgle Domain. few Users mail Box is configured On Server1 and few Users on Server2. Users in local domain can send and receive the mails internally;and Server1 Can send mail to outside domains (yahoo.com;gmail.com,etc....)

Users of the Server2 can send there mail via Server1 to Outside of the Domain....?

Pls suggest in same.

OS:Windows 2003 SP2 and Exchnage 2003 Server with SP2.


Reply:

You want users whose mailboxes are on Server2 to be able to send outbound Internet mail via Server1, correct?

Create an SMTP Connector on Server1.  Make sure that Server1 is the only Local Bridgehead.  Make sure the Connector Scope is set to Entire Organization.

Hi Ed Crowley,

Yes its correct...

I checked under ESM>First Administrative Group>Servers>Routing group> here I have 2 routing group (!st Routing Group and 2nd which i created manually)>under the 2nd Routing group > Connectors> under the properties of "2nd Connector" I done changes inn radio button to "any local server can send mail over this connector"

Now only Server one is now as bridgehead....! but still it not working.

Before this config I already have configured 2 SMTP Connectors. One is for Server1 and Second is for Server2.

Two routing groups also here configured and in this groups i have configured Routing connectors too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Actually I was facing some problem users whose mail boxes is on Server2 Unable to send mail to Server1 users... ! That is why I configured Two Routing groups and manged individual servers in those group then created routing connectors hope its correct and The problem is resolved.

So your problem is resolved, then?  I would have mentioned the routing group connectors had you disclosed the routing groups.

Hi,

Problem is not resolved I have checked with smtpdiag.exe. those users who has mail Boxes on Server 2 they still not able to send there mails to outside domain.

Any other setting which I have to check... please suggest.


------------------------------------
Reply:

Make sure that users on each server can send mail to each other.  That will validate that the routing group connectors are properly configured.  You need one for each direction.

When you have validated that, verify that your SMTP connector is configred as I described in my first post, and make sure that you have only one of them, i.e., there is no SMTP connector configured with Server2 as Local Bridgehead.  Also make sure you have not configured the SMTP virtual servers to route outbound mail.  The place to do that is in the SMTP connector.

Hi ,

I have a server in which i have configured a scheduled task to reboot the server. However the server fails to reboot with the event ID 1073 and i am loosing the RDP connection after that. the port 3389 is very much opened. So to further get the RDP connection back i have to reboot the server again manually.

Thank you for the post.

Before going any further, I'd like to confirm the following:

  1. what about your server version, windows server 2003 or windows server 2008?
  2. What is your issue, unable to scheduled task to reboot the server or unable to RDP to server from the client?

Weird Internet access problem!!

I'm currently using TMG 2010 and Websense to filter my Internet traffic. At first I had an issue that cropped up with my users when accessing secure sites it would time out. I found out later it was a DNS issue which was resolved. Now I have an even stranger problem that I can't get my head around. Specific users are complaining that when they try to accessing certain pages they are just getting a blank white screen and it appears that Internet Explorer will just freeze on trying to accessing these pages or it willing just time out and being really slow when surfing. If I try its fine and I can access the page, if I login as Administrator it also works fine. If I log on as that user on another machine it also has the same problem. I turned my Webnsense server off so everyone has direct Internet access out but the problem is still there. The only thing I can think of is that it is TMG 2010 is the cause.

Lets say I go to www.natwest.com it loads the page really quick, I then click the tab 'Commercial Banking' and again it loads the page really quick. If I login as this specific user it's slow to load the page and then I click 'Commercial Banking' I just get a white page as though it's trying to load the screen. Sometimes it gets half of the page of the page but I eventually get the standard Internet Explorer cannot access page, or sometimes it will load fine after about 3 minutes or so!!

I hope I am explaining my self correctly as I'm at my wits end with it? I've checked TMG and the logs look OK! It's only just starting doing all this weird stuff within the last month. All updates are on and I've also tried rebooting with no look.

Anyone help would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance


Many Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for the post.

Please check the user sets in the internet access rule, do all the users belong to the same OU? Do you have enable we caching in TMG server?

Reply:
It's even more strange I've found that it's only two users. If they login into there machines I get this problem explained above, if they log into someone elses computer it's fine. If I check the TMG logs to see if there's something going on all I see is lines of ABORTIVE_SHUTDOWN. The other day I tried rebooting my switch stack to see of somehting else was going on with packet corruption. But it did not fix it!

Many Thanks

Two "NewItem" Forms with different default choice values

I`ve got two different "NewItem" Forms in the same List, and now i want to set the default coice differently to separate the Items created with each Form.

e.g.:

Link1 - "Create ListItem for blue cars" (Form1: default choice: blue)

Link2 - "Create ListItem for red cars" (Form2: default choice: red)


Reply:

This is the concept behind Content Types, but I don't think it works at the Default Value level.

But, maybe with the magic of an InfoPath form, you can discern the Content Type and thus prepopulate the desired choice field.

Create PDF files from HTML text

Hi

I have a .Net page wherein I am generating a large HTML table dynamically. The table is large with both horizontal and vertical scroll bars and a lot of colspans and rowspans applied to it. When I generate the PDF using iTextSharp, the formatting of the entire table is messed up. Can anyone give me a better way to achieve this?

Thanks

free new stored procedure tool

hello all. I know this is probably already been done but I had a few less hours on my hands and decided to write my own. I had a table with a bunch of columns and needed to write insert and update procedures for the table. So I took the time to write an application to do this for me. It will also generate the VB code for a command object with each parameter specified.it's been tested on SQL Server 2000 R2 but should work with 2005 as well. He makes heavy use of the SMO  objects.I've released a new version version .02 it is available http://www.hendersonsystemsinc.com/procgen

hopefully this will help someone out as much as it is help me. I be interested in any feedback, bugs, and suggestions that anyone might have. And if any of you kindhearted souls have the extra resources I'm accepting donations if you find the program useful. My PayPal address is in the readme.

Nice work, you know that you could have done this within a project using T4 files.

But well done anyhow for the work you did, any chance of the source, as that would be even better to us developers 

Also your application  does not run, so not sure of what benefit it will be

Thanks for the hard work

How to restrict deleted List items in SharePoint 2010 Custom Search?

I created custom search Web Part for searching the data form single list.

I used FullTextSqlQuery for this search. I am getting the result according to created date, created user and also based different filter conditions. 

But i am getting the deleted list items in the search result. How can i avoid deleted list items in search?

Please give me any suggestion about this.

Regards,

Siva


Reply:

The deleted items should not show up once you do another crawl.  Double check your content access account and make sure that it does not have administrator permissions.  Also, you should not use FullTextSqlQuery any more as it has been deprecated.

Exchange 2013 DAG

Hello -

Please recommend me a good practice for setting up a DAG between 2 servers Exchange 2013

I already have exchange 2013 Installed on my primary server with all roles with domain name EK1, do I setup secondary server name EK2 with all roles and same domain or should I create a new domain in our secondary server as EK2 and then install Exchange 2013 with all roles .

What do I need to do as far as setting up on a secondary server.

And File Fitness Server same question in regards to that do I join EK1 Domain as I am a little confuse as to what steps should I take the idea here is if one server goes offline second should come online so there is no DOWNTIME in receiving emails or accessing OWA.



-- Still learning


Reply:

Setting up DAG is relatively simple.
Please follow the below steps.

Both EK1 and EK2 can be on same domain.
Its recommended to keep Exchange and Domain Controller seperate.
Also Exchange can be promoted to DC after installing Exchange.
Note down the IP Address of EK1 for eg. 192.168.1.13
Note down the IP Address of EK2 for eg. 192.168.1.14
Now deciede the IP Address for DAG01 for eg. 192.168.1.15
Witness Server: Well connected File Server in the network. For eg. FILESRV
Assuming that you have DB01 as the Mailbox Database Name and is running on EK1

Create the DAG by using the below command
New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup –Name DAG01 –WitnessServer FILESRV –WitnessDirectory C:\FSW_DAG01 –DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses 192.168.1.15

Add the mailbox servers into the DAG:
Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer –Identity DAG01 –MailboxServer EK1
Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer –Identity DAG01 –MailboxServer EK2

Enable DAC mode for the DAG:
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup –Identity DAG01 –DatacenterActivationMode DagOnly

Add a Database Copy for having the redundancy.
Add-MailboxDatabaseCopy –Identity DB01 –MailboxServer EK2

Repeat this for other DB's if any.

Verify the replication status using:
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus –Server EK1
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus –Server EK2

Ashwin

Ashwin - Thank you for your well detailed answer much appreciated as I am new to this so my apology.

Let me explain what I have understood based on your response.

Install Exchange with all ROLES and assuming machine name is EK1 - then prep second machine this time I will have to JOIN a DOMAIN in EK1 server and install Exchange with all roles for EK2 machine is that correct ?

Regarding DAG and File witness server do they both have to JOIN a same domain as EK1 and do I install Exchange on them

Yes.

Lets take your domain name as Domain01

Join both EK1 and EK2 to Domain01.

EK1 -> Install Exchange (All Roles)

Once EK1 is installed and is up and running.

EK2 -> Install the second Exchange (All roles)

File witness Server can be on the same domain and do not require Exchange Roles.

Regards,

Ashwin

Reply:

Thanks Ashwin thats make a lot of sense .

Filewitness Server will be my third server and on that server do I install IIS or just join the domain of EK1 and then run this command on FWS

New-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup –Name DAG01 –WitnessServer FILESRV –WitnessDirectory C:\FSW_DAG01 –DatabaseAvailabilityGroupIpAddresses 192.168.1.15

Witness Server can be any Windows File Server. Adding IIS will do no harm anyway.

If exchange 2013 servers are installed in Windows Server 2012, you have to pre-stage your CNO for cluster name (DAG01), if not you will get error message
