isinteg is now New-MailboxRepairRequest in Exchange 2010

Posted on by

It turns out that the command “isinteg -s mail -fix -test alltests“ has been replaced.

This is what I used instead:
New-MailboxRepairRequest -Mailbox [email protected]  -CorruptionType SearchFolder, AggregateCounts, ProvisionedFolder, FolderView

New-MailboxRepairRequest -Database “Mailbox Database 134628591” -CorruptionType SearchFolder, AggregateCounts, ProvisionedFolder, FolderView

Outlook Security Alert with Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2013

Posted on by

With newer UCC SSL certificates it is often not possible to register local domain names.  Example:  mail.mydoman.local
Using the default exchange 2013 setting the outlook 201 client will get a “Security Alert” the says “The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site”

I resolved this by changing the Auto Discover Service Internal Uri.

First I stated the exchange Server 2013 power shell.
And ran these commands:

Get-ClientAccessServer
Get-ClientAccessServer -Identity ExchangeServerName | fl  *
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity VR-EXCHANGE -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri: https://ExchangeServerName.domain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
Get-ClientAccessServer -Identity ExchangeServerName | fl  *

I also had to apply a static IP Address to the workstaions, and then switch them back toDCHP once the internet  was backup.
Set IP Address to Static

————————-
netsh interface ipv4 set address “local area connection” static 192.168.100.214 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1
netsh interface ip add dns name=”Local Area Connection” 8.8.8.8 index=2

Set IP Address to DHCP
————————
netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” source=dhcp
netsh interface ip set dnsservers name=”Local Area Connection” source=dhcp
