Set additional servers as Public Folder Replicas

October 1st, 2010 No comments

In most transition phases from Exchange 2003, it is often a tedious process of adding the new Exchange 2010 servers (it also works for Exchange 2007), as additional Replicas on all existing Public Folders.

Previous using bulk operations with PFDAVADMIN was the fastest way forward. But why not use the script tools that comes with Exchange 2007 and 2010, it is even faster and more simple to use.

AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 is in my opinion THE tool to use! :)

The script is located together with the Exchange binaries, under: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts.

The script recursively goes through and updates your public folders replicas for every public folder in a hierarchy that you specify.

To add an additional Exchange server for your default public folders run:

AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder "\" -ServerToAdd Servername

To add an additional Exchange server for your system public folders run:

AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1 -TopPublicFolder "\NON_IPM_SUBTREE" -ServerToAdd Servername

With a lot of Public Folders the command can run for a long time, but just be patience, if there is problems, it will fail.

Confirm that Replication Partners on either the System Manager on Exchange 2003 or run this command on the Exchange 2010 environment:

Get-PublicFolder "\" -Recurse | ft name,replicas

or

Get-PublicFolder "\" -Recurse | fl name,replicas

July 22nd, 2010 No comments

Microsoft has released a new troubleshooting tool for Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging.

The Exchange 2010 UM Troubleshooting Tool is an Exchange Management Shell cmdlet that you can use to diagnose configuration errors specific to call answering scenarios and to test whether voice mail is functioning correctly in both on-premises and cross-premises UM deployments. You can use this cmdlet in deployments with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Microsoft Communications Server “14″ or in UM deployments with IP gateways or IP PBXs.
This cmdlet emulates calls and runs a series of diagnostic tests that help on-premises administrators to identify misconfigurations in telephony equipment, Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Unified Messaging settings, and connectivity issues between on-premises and cross-premises deployment of Exchange 2010 SP1 Unified Messaging.
When you run the cmdlet, it states the reason and possible solutions for issues that have been detected. It also outputs general audio quality metrics for diagnosing audio quality issues related to network connectivity such as jitter and average packet loss.
