New Series – Exchange Maintenance Scripts IMAP/POP3 IMAP and POP are not the most popular (or secure) protocols to be used by an Exchange Server, however they are certainly still in use and as an engineer who supported a lot of different client bases, I still see these protocols in use. For this script however,…

New Series of Blogs Coming Next Week!
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted some new content so I am writing up a storm to make up for that gap. Right now my article queue is set at 10+ articles for the next 30 – 60 days. Consider this a bit of creative release due to having just finished updating 2 books completely…
Exchange Server Prerequisite Scripts – New Location
Today I added a new page to my blog where I’ve posted my Exchange Server prerequisite scripts for installed required components for Exchange Server 2013, 2016 and 2019. These scripts also have the added bonus features like remediating sleepy NICs, turning off server power management, enabling RSS and more: Overall this is displayed in one…
New HCW – Updating your Hybrid Configuration Wizard
Within the past month, Microsoft has released a new Hybrid Configuration Wizard or HCW. The past version of this program was version 16.x and with the latest update, Microsoft has created a brand new REV, hence the 17.x version moniker. What does this mean? It means that you will have a much better experience when…
Public Folders – Large Items – Failed move
This one is a new one for me, but I guess it should not be unexpected. If you’ve moved from Exchange on-premises to Exchange Online and your SMTP limits were higher than 150MB, more than likely you found at least one email that was greater than 150 MB … You may have even run into…

First, the setup: Multiple Exchange 2016 servers Multiple Exchange 2010 Servers – Internet mail in…
Office 365 Hybrid Configuration – Organization Configuration Transfer
Last year I published a blog post on this same topic. In this post I wanted to dive a bit deeper into what exactly is going on and possibly suggest some ‘upgrades’ to the wizard to make it easier to understand the process. I recently ran the wizard with a client to see all the…
Quick PowerShell Stuff 32
For this Quick PowerShell post I wanted to share a little deep dive into Modern Public Folders (Exchange 2013 – 2019). In sharing this, I wanted to expose some of the properties of Public Folders that you may not have known were exposed with PowerShell and can only be seen in the GUI. Finding the…
Quick Powershell Stuff 31
After Microsoft switched over to Modern Public Folders, I never thought I would have to worry or dig into the underworkings as much as we did in Exchange 2010 and before. I have been proven wrong twice now. My current issue is a corruption issue where I am unable to currently move certain mailboxes, even…
