Change Message Size Limits in Exchange 2007 under Exchange Managerment Shell

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

From: http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2008/10/28/how-do-i-change-mess age-size-limits-in-exchange-2007.aspx

Size limits for email messages are controlled in a variety of places in Exchange 2007. Settings are placed globally at the transport level, on each individual send or receive connector, and at each individual mailbox. Your business needs should determine if you need to change these settings and at which location(s). In order to accomplish this successfully, you must know that more restrictive settings override less restrictive settings as you flow up the chain from individual mailbox settings to SMTP connectors and finally to global transport settings.  

 

Global Transport Settings

Get-TransportConfig displays global transport settings for all Hub and Edge Transport servers in the Exchange Organization. By default, there is a 10MB size limit on send and receive. This will override all other less restrictive message size limit settings set elsewhere.

NOTE: Exchange 2007 considers message submission to the store driver as a “send” operation. Therefore, if you are attempting to receive an email message on an SBS 2008 server from the internet that is greater than the MaxSendSize of the global transport configuration, delivery will fail

Get-TransportConfig | ft MaxSendSize, MaxReceiveSize

Setting Message Size Limits in Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

From http://exchangepedia.com/2007/09/exchange-server-2007-setting-message- size-limits.html

In a previous post, we looked at how the maximum recipients per message settings are treated differently by Exchange Server 2010/2007 and Exchange 2003/2000 when sending to Distribution Groups (read previous post “Distribution Groups and maximum recipients per message“).

Another commonly asked question is about message size limits and the inability to send messages that are apparently within the maximum sizes configured. Let’s take a look at the message size settings in different places.

1 Organizational limits: These apply to all Exchange servers in the Organization. You can set these using the Set-TransportConfig command from the Exchange shell:

Set-TransportConfig -MaxReceiveSize 40MB -MaxSendSize 40MB

In Exchange 2007 SP1 and later, you can also set the organizational message size limits using the EMC by going to Organization Configuration | Hub Transport | Global Settings tab | Transport Settings | properties | General tab.

Security warning when you start Outlook 2007 and then connect to a mailbox that is hosted on a server that is running Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010: “The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site”

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

When importing a new certificate into Exchange 2007/2010, you might encounter a certificate error in Outlook 2007/2010. I have included a screenshot of the error I encountered with Outlook 2007 :

 

When you choose the View Certificate button, it brings up another window that shows you what certificate is in error. In this case, the certificate name is “mail.shudnow.net.”

So the million dollar question? Why the error?

Well, when we install a new certificate, there are a few tasks we want to do. Obviously, we install the certificate for a purpose. This purpose is till allow us to use Exchange services securely. So how do we enable Exchange to use these services? If you are planning to do a very simple configuration and do not care about external Autodiscover access, you do not need to use a Unified Communication Certificate.

So let’s say we have a simple regular common certificate. A certificate with a Common Name (CN) of mail.shudnow.net We install this certificate onto our Exchange box with its’ private key. In our case we were migrating so we did not have to request a certificate via IIS. We just exported it with its’ private key and imported onto the new box. We then assigned this certificate to IIS. Now I went to the Exchange Management Shell and enabled Exchange services to use this certificate. In order to do this, you must run the following commands:

You receive a Vbscript error while connecting to the client/server computer using RWW in SBS 2008.

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

In SBS 2003, we receive the request from remote machine on port 4125 (which opens Dynamically on the server), and after validating the request, we redirect it to the appropriate client machine. Unlike SBS 2003, we do not use port 4125 redirection anymore. In SBS 2008, Remote Web Workplace is based on the TS gateway technology (TS gateway is a part of Windows Server 2008 role suite). However, if the certificates are not configured correctly, you may experience the following issue.

You may get the following error while connecting to the client or server computer, which is inside SBS 2008 network, using Remote Web Workplace:

—————————
VBScript: Remote Desktop Disconnected
—————————
An internal error has occurred (error 50331688). For more information, please contact your network administrator or Microsoft Product Support.

OK
