Exchange server 2013 on windows server 2012r2 - exchange-server

[I installed exchange server 2013 on server 2012r2 .... after login Exchange Administrative center got this error "500 Unexpected Error" ] Then what will i do?
After login Exchange Administrative center got this error

You may find with 2013 and exchange 2016 that if your using chrome or firefox that often now you'll get hit with a 500 error because out of the box exchange is supporting encryption cyphers that are no longer supported. It would be nice for MS to identify such things up front but the do not.
A recommendation is to download IISCrypto 2 tool which identifies crpto levels on your machine. Run the best practices template and then reboot your machine.
Often another possibility is the ssl certificate assigned in IIS to both the front and backend systems. By Default it should assign a exchange self signed cert but sometimes it may get left blank and needs to be assigned.
Those are two common 500 errors.

Outlook fails to connect to Exchange unless 'Always prompt for logon credentials' checked

Hoping to get some thoughts on this, we've recently started to encounter an issue whereby users are unable to connect to Exchange using Outlook unless the 'Always prompt for credentials' setting is checked to force them to login when opening Outlook.
Outlook is currently using NTLM to authenticate to the Exchange 2016 servers.
We're not seeing any obvious issues in Exchange or on the client devices, the latest Exchange updates were applied recently and we have also enforced NTLMv2 recently by configuring LmCompatibilityLevel to 5 on the client devices only. Rolling this back does not appear to of effected the issue either way.

code : 5001 message : "An internal error has occurred." name : "Internal Error" when calling getAccessTokenAsync

code:5001
message:"An internal error has occurred."
name:"Internal Error"
I get this error when I call getAccessTokenAsync in my outlook addin. In desktop version I get a another error with code:13003. With the AttachemntDemo sample I get the same errors.
You are most likely using an on-premises Exchange Server with a local Domain Account.
From the documentation:
13003
User Type not supported. The user isn't signed into Office with a valid Microsoft Account or Work or School account. This may happen if Office runs with an on-premises domain account, for example. Your code should ask the user to sign in to Office.
Also confirm that your server meets these requirements:
If the user is connected to Office 365 or Outlook.com, mail server requirements are all taken care of already. However, for users connected to on-premises installations of Exchange Server, the following requirements apply.+
The server must be Exchange 2013 or later.
Exchange Web Services (EWS) must be enabled and must be exposed to the internet. Many add-ins require EWS to function properly.
The server must have a valid authentication certificate in order for the server to issue valid identity tokens. New installations of Exchange server include a default authentication certificate. For more information, see Digital certificates and encryption in Exchange 2016 and Set-AuthConfig.
In order to access add-ins from the Office Store, the client access servers must be able to communicate with https://store.office.com.
:
Try to inspect the network traffic and see the actual request - there is more information about the error as this function is just a wrapper around the network request and does not give enough information.
I was receiving the same error and when checked the network request - discovered that I have to add one more application as a Pre-authorized application.

Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop License activation under Microsoft Azure subscription

So this is with some of my Windows Remote Desktop License Servers, which I am using with Microsoft Azure Cloud Subscription.
The issue I am facing is related to the license expiry. A fully functional and activated 2012 Remote Desktop Session Host server displayed the following message:
"THE REMOTE SESSION WAS DISCONNECTED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO REMOTE DESKTOP LICENSE SERVERS AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE A LICENSE.PLEASE CONTACT THE WINDOWS ADMINISTRATOR"
This was a simple setup on one server with the: connection broker, Session Host and Licensing server with 2012 CAL’s installed. And though the licensing seems to be configured correctly, in server manager.
But with the CAL(client access license), every user logging on to Server, gets the error message mentioned before. For every user, I need to update the CAL license again and again, and this issue occurs every 30 or 60 days. Kindly suggest something, and feel free to ask more details on this, if needed.
Step 1: The solution is delete the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing
Step 2: Try connecting in again.If it doesn’t work and you get the following error message: “The remote computer disconnected the session because of an error in the licensing protocol“then all you need to do is Right-Click on the Remote Desktop Connection icon and select “Run as Administrator“.

TFS 2010: Service Unavailable 503

I've been trying to solve this problem for about a week now. I posted this question on Microsoft website and only received one reply, which did not solve my issue. The following is a combination of my posts on Microsoft website.
I installed and configured TFS 2010 on Window 7 PC 64-bit. When I navigate to http://localhost:8080/tfs in my browser, I get
Service Unavailable – HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
Any help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Based on previous reading, I have done much work to figure this out. Following are the steps I have gone through to solve this issues. The list is fairly long, but I want to make sure all the information that may be pertinent to solving this problem is available.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled TFS many times
The application pool "Microsoft Team Foundation Server Application Pool" is running
The application pool "Microsoft Team Foundation Server Web Access Application Pool" is running
Other website in IIS that point to the "ASP.NET v4.0" app pool seem to run fine.
If I point my other sites to "Microsoft Team Foundation Server Application Pool" they

I started up a Virtual Machine with Windows 7. Installed and configured TFS. Everything seems to work fine on the Virtual Machine. With an environment working, I started to compare differences between the two.
Here are some of the differences I found between the two environments:
My primary computer is 64-bit and the Virtual Machine is 32-bit.
On my primary computer, IIS "Team Foundation Server Website" has a "aspnet_client" directory. On the virtual machine, this directory does not exist
On my primary computer, in IIS Manager for "Team Foundation Server" the section ASP.NET are the same on both my primary computer and virtual machine.
On my primary computer, IIS Manager IIS Section has these additional feature that the virtual machine does not include (ASP, Authorization Rules, CGI, IP Address and Domains, and WebDav Authorization)
On my primary computer, IIS Application Pool setting has a property call "Enabled 32-Bit Application". This was set to false and I changed it to true. Understandably this feature is not available on the virtual machine.
Thanks.
My application pool had been stopped as well and when I looked into why or how, I discovered that it was running under a domain account of one of our admins who initially installed TFS (months ago).
B/C of a corporate domain policy, he was forced to recently enter a new password for his account. Then after business hours last night, an update was applied to the IIS server on which TFS runs, and the update required a reboot. B/C the password of the identity under which the app pool runs had changed, IIS could not restart the pool, as the identity was still set to the original domain account and password.
Once I had the admin enter his new password with the app pool's identity, the pool would restart. However, b/c corporate enforces password expiration like every 90 days, I ultimately changed the identity to local system account in order to avoid this problem in the future (choosing local system may not be the best choice).
Start -> Administrative Tools -> IIS
{Server name} -> Application Pools
Right Click on Microsoft Team Foundation Server Application Pool -> Advanced Settings
Identity -> Choose Custom Account -> Click Set -> Enter the username and password of the system admin
Stop then Start Microsoft Team Foundation Server Message Queue Application Pool
Stop then Start Microsoft Team Foundation Server Application Pool
I got this error as well. In the application pool there is a TFS App Pool that was stopped. Once this was started again the 503 error stopped occuring
I never got it to work. I created a VM and installed Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 and everything seem to work good. To conclude, I'm not sure what was wrong, but if I install it on a fresh server everything works fine
The very first thing you must do is to ensure that the application pool is running.
I just ran into this problem. Our TFS server is not part of a domain. I noticed that the HTTP log file seemed to list IPv6 addresses at times and at other times IPv4.
I turned off IPv6 and we were able to once again connect to TFS.
Uncheck Limit connection on IIS to solve this problem.
Limiting Connections (IIS 6.0)
In my case... (my problems aren't related to how TFS is setup but accessed from a workstation)
I work for a large bank and have a sophisticated firewall/proxy - suffice it to say I have had to play with clicking various options to properly connect to our TFS AND connect to the Internet (to download Visual Studio extensions). I fix my error under the proxy settings in IE under OPTIONS | Connections | LAN Settings...
I've had some 503 errors from TFS myself, if my memory serves correctly (I can't test much as my test server is currently down) I had some issues with the versions of ASP.NET the TFS website was configured to use.
Check that ASP.NET is configured to use version 4.0 in IIS (right click the site > Properties > ASP.NET). Also make sure that no other non TFS sites are in the same application pool as your TFS site (actually a virtual directory in your TFS site) and configured separately (they don't seem to play well together!).
I just checked my team foundation services from application pool through inetmgr and found my services was not running.i started it and now i am able to connect to the server.
After installing several times I got it working with installing SQL Server 2008 R2 (Developer) instead of using SQLExpress.
I encountered the same problem today.
Resolution is start installation distrib of TFS and repair product
(in my way i re-install only tfs 2010 service pack 1).
Go to Application Tier in TFS Administration Console and change account; it may fix the problem
I very recently ran into a similar issue. One of our tools sporadically failed when attempting to contact our TFS resource. Comparing the machines in our TFS VIP, only one machine had IIS errors, namely (truncated): 503 8080 QueueFull Microsoft+Team+Foundation+Server+Application+Pool. A quick comparison of app pool settings showed that the good machine had a queue length of 1000, the bad had only 10. 1000 might be excessive, but 10 was apparently too small. I am yet to verify that changing queue length from 10 to 1000 fixed my issue. Hopefully I remember to complete my post! Hope this helps someone...
If the TFS server name is longer than 15 characters it could be an issue with the netbios name being different than the servername. In our case the AppFabric Service was crashing, and we had to use the following to fix the Cache Host name:
http://www.andrewjbillings.com/long-server-name-causing-app-fabric-service-to-crash/
This resolved the TF24668: The following team project collection is stopped errors that we were getting, along with some TF400732: The request has been canceled. and TF246066: Team Foundation Server is offline. error messages
I have TFS installed on my local machine and TFS is running under custom account.
I solved 503 error by setting the App Pool credentials again (Microsoft Team Foundation Server Application Pool and Microsoft Team Foundation Server Message Queue Application Pool)
Another, pretty special reason could be, that you set "Logon as a batch job" in AD explicitly. If you do not specify this setting it defaults to "Administrators;Backup Operators". If you overwrite it e. g. to allow a custom account to schedule a task you must make to not forget adding the default values. Else exactly this problem 503 Service unavailable and a stopped app pool appears.

How do I connect to multiple Exchange servers?

I'm working at a client site, and connect to their Exchange 2000 server via web mail. I have Outlook 2007 running as well connected to my companies Exchange 2007 over HTTP.
Is there any way to connect to the client's Exchange 2000 server using anything other than web mail? Ideally, Outlook 2007 would be able to do it, but I don't think that is possible. POP isn't an option, because I need calendaring.
Thanks,
Zach
Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 can only connect to one Exchange server per profile. To get this capability, you can upgrade to Outlook 2010. Outlook 2010 will connect to multiple Exchange servers in a single profile with no problem.
As a consultant, I have the need to connect to multiple email accounts all the time--my current profile is configured to connect to my corporate Exchange server, a client's Exchange server, two different Office 365 (Exchange Online) accounts, two different Google Apps accounts, and a Hotmail account. I love being able to easily navigate among all the different email accounts I regularly use via the native Outlook 2010 UI; I could never go back to multiple browser windows and Outlook profiles!
[I realize this is a 'stale' question, but I noticed it popped up in a search on the topic so I'm posting this answer as this information isn't reflected in any of the earlier answers.]
You can always use more than one Outlook profile.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011471581033.aspx
There is a way of opening 2 Outlook instances running 2 different profiles.
Please see this link -> http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Feature/136036,server-101-access-multiple-exchange-servers-with-outlook.aspx
I dont think outlook will allow more than 1 exchange server connection. One option would be using another email clients like thunderbird to connect to the other exchange server [I haven't tried it though]. In case you need to know how to configure thnderbird to connect to exchange server, here is a link.
You can create multiple profiles in Outlook. You won't be able to open them all at the same time, but you can set outlook to ask you whihc profile to open when you start it.
this is an old link, but the process is essentially the same if dealing with 2003 or 2007.

With Exchange 2000, external access is only possible using Outlook Web Access or POP/IMAP. With Exchange 2003 and 2007 you can connect using the outlook client using RPC, but not in 2000.
On a side, you can only have 1 Exchange connection in outlook, so you would have to use multiple profiles.
Apple's Mail Client will connect to any number of Exchange servers at a time. I believe that the Open Source Evolution mail client will similarly do so.
