new-TestCasConnectivityUser failed to create Extest User

Written by Praveen

When you try to run the new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 script to create the test user account for the Test-OutlookWebservice and other tests in your Exchange 2010, the below error may be occure.

"CreateTestUser : Mailbox could not be created. Verify that OU ( Users ) exists and that password meets complexity requirements"

The error will continue to generate even though if you give complex password. This is because, there could be another OU exists in your organization with the name "Users" and which creates issue to the script.All you need to do is to update the assigned value to the $OrganizationalUnit variable with "domain.local/Users" in the new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1.

Change_OU_Path

Run the script again, and it should create the test user successfully.

Enable HTTP to HTTPS redirection for OWA access

Written by Praveen
Monday, 02 May 2011 14:53
I understand that there are so many companies still using the exchange 2003 as their messaging solution and are in process of migration to Exchange 2007 or 2010. There could be chances of rebuilding the servers on various reasons and will have to re-do the OWA URL redirection and other respective tasks. Recently I also had encountered to do the same for one of my Exchange 2003 organizations and thought of sharing you the technical details, because it took me some time to figure out various ways out to do the settings. I have mentioned 2 sections here; one is to redirect the https://mail.exchangedictionary.com request to https://mail.exchangedictionary.com/exchange. Second section will guide you to configure the HTTP traffic redirection to HTTPS. Simplify the OWA URL: The steps below will help you to redirect the HTTPS request that is sent to the root of the Web server to the Exchange virtual directory. Open IIS Manager, and then navigate to Web Sites/Default Web Site. Right-click Default Web Site; and then click Properties. Click the Home Directory tab, and then click the A redirection to a URL option. In Redirect to, type /directory name. For example, to redirect https://server name requests to https://server name/exchange, in Redirect to, type /exchange In the The client will be sent to: list, select A directory below URL entered.

Active Directory UserAccountControl Attribute

Written by Praveen

Thursday, 23 December 2010 12:27

On a day to day work, some or the other time you must have come across the situation where you want to extract the reports like the list of disabled users from Active directory, the list of Active mailbox users in your exchange server etc. Most of us will search for some automated tool to extract the reports. But you do not need any such scripts to extract these reports; the CSVDE command will help you in getting the report.

For e.g. you need the report of all enabled user accounts in your domain, use the below command.

Open command prompt and execute it(note – modify the command with your domain details).

CSVDE -r "(objectClass=user)" -d "dc=ExchangeDictionary,DC=com" -s ExchDicDC01.ExchangeDictionary.com -l displayname,useraccountcontrol -f c:\UserList.csv

-r :- this place we will give the filter, here I have given the objectClass=user, so the command will only run against the user objects.

-d :- scoping the command, here I have scoped to the entire domain(dc=ExchangeDictionary,DC=com means the domain ExchangeDictionary.com ). If you want to execute against one OU, you can still do it. Replace this with Ou=”your OU Name”, dc=ExchangeDictionary,DC=com
