Online, office 365 and Windows Azure Powershell
Ø
The Exchange Online is able
to manage the users and permission of Exchange service. The Office 365 (Windows
Azure AD) is to manage the whole Office 365 service. Windows Azure can use to
manage users, domain and other things which will affect the whole Office 365
service. It is not able to be used to manage Exchange service, Lync service and
SharePoint service. To manage Exchange service, you need to use Exchange Online
PowerShell to perform the activity.

Prepare AD – after running
the Prepare AD switch, new container will be created to hold the details of the
information from server to databases to connectors. This process also created
universal security groups to manage Exchange and sets appropriate permissions
on objects to allow them to be managed
14.
What happened to HT, UM and Edge role in Exchange Server 2013

The hub transport role and
unified message role are splited on the Client access server role and mailbox
server role to perform the complete operation. Edge Server was launched again
in the Exchange server 2013 service pack 1
15. How many user
databases and recovery databases are supported in Exchange server 2013
Ø
Enterprise Edition can
support 50 mounted databases per server in the Release to Manufacturing (RTM)
and (CU1) versions, and 100 mounted databases per server in (CU2) and later
versions; Standard Edition is limited to 5 mounted databases per server
16. What is the change
in the MAPI connectivity with Exchange Server 2013
Ø
Microsoft removed MAPI over
RPC in Exchange Server 2013 and they used RPC over HTTP. The also introduced
MAPI Over HTTP in Exchange 2013 SP1 which works if you have Outlook 2013 SP1
17.
What is the purpose of Autodiscover service
& Availability service
Auto discover service— The Autodiscover
service does the following:
o Automatically
configures user profile settings for clients running Microsoft Office Outlook
2007, Outlook 2010, or Outlook 2013, as well as supported mobile phones.
o Provides
access to Exchange features for Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, or Outlook 2013
clients that are connected to your Exchange messaging environment.
o Uses
a user's email address and password to provide profile settings to Outlook
2007, Outlook 2010, or Outlook 2013 clients and supported mobile phones. If the
Outlook client is joined to a domain, the user's domain account is used.
Ø
Availability service—The
Availability service is the replacement for Free/Busy functionality responsible
for making a user’s calendar availability visible to other users making meeting
requests.
o Retrieve
current free/busy information for Exchange 2013 mailboxes
o Retrieve
current free/busy information from other Exchange 2013 organizations
o Retrieve
published free/busy information from public folders for mailboxes on servers
that have previous versions of Exchange
o View attendee
working hours o Show
meeting time suggestions
18.
What are the DNS host record required to receiving email from the
internet
Ø A
mail exchange (MX) record that contains information about which mail server the
domain uses
to receive mail.
19.
Explain the list of files will be there under Exchange 2013 database
folder
Ø
*.edb File - A mailbox
database is stored as an Exchange database (.edb) file.
Ø
Checkpoint file .chk, keeps
track of which transactional logs moves into database files. Keep on check the
log file entering the database in a current order
Ø
Transactional log – eoo.log
file which write the current transactions into transactional logs. If it
reaches 1 MB, it will rename the log file into E00000001.log
Ø
Temp.EDB – Temporary database file, which
will process the transactional logs that are to be to write in .EDB Database
file
Ø
.JRS – Reserved Log files –
if the size of the disk is full and you can’t write any mails as transactional
logs these files will help into action
20.
What you mean by database portability
Ø
Database portability is a
feature that enables a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 mailbox database to be
moved to or mounted on any other Mailbox server in the same organization
running Exchange 2013 that has databases with the same database schema version.
Mailbox databases from previous versions of Exchange can't be moved to a
Mailbox server running Exchange 2013. By using database portability,
reliability is improved by removing several error-prone, manual steps from the
recovery processes. In addition, database portability reduces the overall
recovery times for various failure scenarios.
21.
What is the purpose of DAC
Ø
DAC mode is used to control
the startup database mount behavior of a DAG. When DAC mode isn't enabled and a
failure occurs that affects multiple servers in the DAG, and then when a
majority of the DAG members are restored after the failure, the DAG will
restart and attempt to mount databases. In a multi-datacenter configuration,
this behavior could cause split brain
syndrome, a condition that occurs when all networks fail, and DAG members
can't receive heartbeat signals from each other. Split brain syndrome can also
occur when network connectivity is severed between datacenters. Split brain
syndrome is prevented by always requiring a majority of the DAG members (and in
the case of DAGs with an even number of members, the DAG's witness server) to
be available and interacting for the DAG to be operational. When a majority of
the members are communicating, the DAG is said to have quorum.
22.
How to check backup is completed successfully
for the Exchange 2013 mailbox database
Ø
Powershell Command - Get-Mailboxdatabase
-status | Format-List Identity, *backup*
23.
What is the purpose of site mailbox in Exchange
server 2013
Ø
Site mailbox requires
Exchange 2013 and Sharepoint 2013 which has the functionally of shared storage
through an Exchange 2013 mailbox for email messages and a SharePoint 2013 site
for documents, and a management interface that addresses provisioning.
24. What is the change on public
folder in Exchange Server 2013
Ø
Public folder uses
specially designed mailboxes to store both the public folder hierarchy and the
content. This also means that there’s no longer a public folder database. High
availability for the public folder mailboxes is provided by a database
availability group (DAG).
26.
What is S/MIME certificate and how to send email using
S/MIME certificate
Ø
S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions)used for users to encrypt outgoing messages and
attachments so that only intended recipients who have a digital identification
(ID), also known as a certificate, can read them. With S/MIME, users can
digitally sign a message, which provides the recipients with a way to verify
the identity of the sender and that the message hasn't been tampered with.
Ø
Setting up S/MIME for
Outlook Web App needs Exchange 2013 SP1 which can be configured using
Powershell command Get-SmimeConfig and Set-SmimeConfig
27.
What is RBAC and list out the management role present in
Exchange Server 2013
Ø
Role Based Access Control
(RBAC) is the permissions model used in Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. With
RBAC, you don't need to modify and manage access control lists (ACLs), which
was done in Exchange Server 2007. ACLs created several challenges in Exchange
2007, such as modifying ACLs without causing unintended consequences,
maintaining ACL modifications through upgrades, and troubleshooting problems
that occurred due to using ACLs in a nonstandard way.
o View-Only Organization

o Compliance Management
o Public Folder Management
o Delegated Setup
28.
How to enable Offline Outlook Web App (OWA) in Exchange Server 2013
Ø
Microsoft Outlook Web App
(OWA) 2013 has the new option called "Offline" use. It allows you to
use Webmail without being connected to the server. OWA in "Offline"
mode can also be used when you have no Internet connection. When you turn on
"Offline" use, a local copy of your mailbox data is created. The
supported browsers are Internet Explorer 10, Safari 5 or Chrome 16.
Ø
To set offline access for
an Outlook Web App mailbox policy, use:
o Set-OwaMailboxPolicy
–AllowOfflineOn [NoComputers | AllComputers | PrivateComputers]
Ø
To set offline access for
an Outlook Web App virtual directory:
o Set-OwaVirtualDirectory
–AllowOfflineOn [NoComputers | AllComputers | PrivateComputers]
29.
How Activesync works in Exchange Server 2013
Ø
Microsoft ActiveSync
provides for synchronized access to email from a handheld device, such as a
Pocket PC or other Windows Mobile device. It allows for real-time send and
receives functionality to and from the handheld, through the use of push
technology.
Ø
A mobile device that's
configured to synchronize with an Exchange 2013 server issues an HTTPS request
to the server. This request is known as a PING. The request tells the server to
notify the device if any items change in the next 15 minutes in any folder
that's configured to synchronize. Otherwise, the server should return an HTTP
200 OK message. The mobile device then stands by. The 15-minute time span is
known as a heartbeat interval.
Ø
If no items change in 15
minutes, the server returns a response of HTTP 200 OK. The mobile device
receives this response, resumes activity (known as waking up), and issues its
request again. This restarts the process.
Ø
If any items change or new
items are received within the 15-minute heartbeat interval, the server sends a
response that informs the mobile device that there's a new or changed item and
provides the name of the folder in which the new or changed item resides. After
the mobile device receives this response, it issues a synchronization request
for the folder that has the new or changed item. When synchronization is
complete, the mobile device issues a new PING request and the whole process
starts over.
30.
What is the purpose of retention policy tag
Ø
Retention tags are used to
apply retention settings to folders and individual items such as e-mail
messages and voice mail. These settings specify how long a message remains in a
mailbox and the action to be taken when the message reaches the specified
retention age. When a message reaches its retention age, it's moved to the user’s
In-Place Archive or deleted.
Ø
Unlike managed folders (the
MRM feature introduced in Exchange Server 2007), retention tags allow users to
tag their own mailbox folders and individual items for retention. Users no
longer have to file items in managed folders provisioned by an administrator
based on message retention requirements.
31. What is the advantage of
mailbox movement in Exchange Server 2013
Ø
It’s online mailbox
movement where we don’t user intervention to close their outlook while moving
the mailbox between exchange server or databases
32.

Difference between proxy and re-direction
terminology in Exchange Server 2013
Ø
Microsoft Client Access
server can act as a proxy for other Client Access servers within the
organization. This is useful when multiple Client Access servers exist in
different Active Directory sites in an organization, and at least one of those
sites isn't exposed to the Internet.
Ø
A Client Access server can
also perform redirection for Microsoft Office Outlook Web App URLs and for
Exchange ActiveSync devices. Redirection is useful when users connect to a
Client Access server that isn't in their local Active Directory site, or if a
mailbox has moved between Active Directory sites. It's also useful if users
should actually be using a more effective URL. For example, users should be
using a URL that's closer to the Active Directory site in which their mailbox
resides.
35.
How to check Exchange 2013 autodiscover service
Ø
To verify the auto discover use the
Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer - https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/

41. What is the service needed
to move mailbox in Exchange 2013
Ø
Move requests are processed
by two services:
o Microsoft
Exchange Mailbox Replication service (MRS)
o Microsoft
Exchange Mailbox Replication Proxy (MRSProxy) service
42.
What is the purpose of File Share Witness
Ø
A witness server is a
server outside a DAG that's used to achieve and maintain quorum when the DAG
has an even number of members. DAGs with an odd number of members don't use a
witness server. All DAGs with an even number of members must use a witness
server. The witness server can be any computer running Windows Server. There is
no requirement that the version of the Windows Server operating system of the
witness server matches the operating system used by the DAG members
43. Llist out the
different type of quorum model used in Exchange server 2013
Ø
Even - Node and File Share
Majority quorum mode
Ø
DAGs with an even number of
members use the failover cluster's Node and File Share Majority quorum mode,
which employs an external witness server that acts as a tie-breaker. In this
quorum mode, each DAG member gets a vote. In addition, the witness server is
used to provide one DAG member with a weighted vote (for example, it gets two
votes instead of one). The cluster quorum data is stored by default on the
system disk of each member of the DAG, and is kept consistent across those
disks. However, a copy of the quorum data isn't stored on the witness server. A
file on the witness server is used to keep track of which member has the most
updated copy of the data, but the witness server doesn't have a copy of the
cluster quorum data. In this mode, a majority of the voters (the DAG members
plus the witness server) must be operational and able to communicate with each
other to maintain quorum. If a majority of the voters can't communicate with
each other, the DAG's underlying cluster loses quorum, and the DAG will require
administrator intervention to become operational again.
Ø
DAGs with an odd number of
members use the failover cluster's Node Majority quorum mode. In this mode,
each member gets a vote, and each member's local system disk is used to store
the cluster quorum data. If the configuration of the DAG changes, that change
is reflected across the different disks. The change is only considered to have
been committed and made persistent if that change is made to the disks on half
the members (rounding down) plus one. For example, in a five-member DAG, the
change must be made on two plus one members, or three members total.
44.
Difference between Primary Active Manager and Standby Active Manager
Ø
Primary Active Manager
which runs inside the Microsoft Exchange Replication Service used to notify and
react in case of server failure. The PAM owns the cluster quorum resource and
holds the information about active, passive and mounted databases.
Ø
Standby Active Manager
provides information of the server hosting the active copy of a mailbox
database to the Client Access or Transport services.
45.
What is the purpose of safety-net and transport dumpster
Ø
Transport dumpster helps to
protect against data loss by maintaining a queue of successfully delivered
messages that hadn't replicated to the passive mailbox database copies in the
DAG. When a mailbox database or server failure required the promotion of an
out-of-date copy of the mailbox database, the messages in the transport
dumpster were automatically resubmitted to the new active copy of the mailbox
database.
Ø
The transport dumpster has
been improved in Exchange 2013 and is now called Safety Net.
Similarity
between Safety Net and transport dumpster in Exchange 2010:
· Safety
Net is a queue that's associated with the Transport service on a Mailbox
server. This queue stores copies of messages that were successfully processed
by the server.
· You
can specify how long Safety Net stores copies of the successfully processed
messages before they expire and are automatically deleted. The default is 2
days.
Here's how
Safety Net is different in Exchange 2013:
· Safety
Net doesn't require DAGs. For Mailbox servers that don't belong to a DAGs,
Safety Net stores copies of the delivered messages on other Mailbox servers in
the local Active Directory site.
· Safety
Net itself is now redundant, and is no longer a single point of failure. This
introduces the concept of the Primary Safety Net and the Shadow Safety Net. If
the Primary Safety Net is unavailable for more than 12 hours, resubmit requests
become shadow resubmit requests, and messages are re-delivered from the Shadow
Safety Net.
· Safety
Net takes over some responsibility from shadow redundancy in DAG environments.
Shadow redundancy doesn't need to keep another copy of the delivered message in
a shadow queue while it waits for the delivered message to
replicate
to the passive copies of mailbox database on the other Mailbox servers in the
DAG. The copy of the delivered message is already stored in Safety Net, so the
message can be resubmitted from Safety Net if necessary.
· In
Exchange 2013, transport high availability is more than just a best effort for
message redundancy. Exchange 2013 attempts to guarantee message redundancy.
Because of this, you can't specify a maximum size limit for Safety Net. You can
only specify how long Safety Net stores messages before they're automatically
deleted.
46.
What is the purpose of crimson log channel in Exchange Server 2013
Ø
The HighAvailability
channel contains events related to startup and shutdown of the Microsoft
Exchange Replication service and other components that run within it, such as
Active Manager or VSS writer for example. The HighAvailability channel is also
used by Active Manager to log events related to Active Manager role monitoring
and database action events, such as a database mount operation and log
truncation, and to record events related to the DAG's underlying cluster.
Ø
The
MailboxDatabaseFailureItems channel is used to log events associated with any
failures that affect a replicated mailbox database.
47. How EWS plays their role
in Exchange Server 2013
Ø
The Exchange Web Service
holds the below list of features
o eDiscovery
o Archiving
o Personas
o Unified
Contact Store
o Retention
Policies
o User
Photos
o Mail Apps for
Outlook Management
o Propose

48.
What is Outlook Anywhere and how to configure in
email client
Ø
In Microsoft Exchange
Server 2013, the Outlook Anywhere feature, formerly known as RPC over HTTP,
lets clients who use Microsoft Outlook 2013, Outlook 2010, or Outlook 2007
connect to their Exchange servers from outside the corporate network or over
the Internet using the RPC over HTTP Windows networking component. This topic
describes the Outlook Anywhere feature and lists the benefits of using Outlook
Anywhere.The Windows RPC over HTTP Proxy component, which Outlook Anywhere
clients use to connect, wraps remote procedure calls (RPCs) with an HTTP layer.
This allows traffic to traverse network firewalls without requiring RPC ports
to be opened. In Exchange 2013, this feature is enabled by default, because all
Outlook connectivity takes place over Outlook Anywhere.

Difference between accepted domain and remote domain in Exchange Server
2013
Ø
Remote domains are SMTP
domains that are external to your Microsoft Exchange organization. You can
create remote domain entries to define the settings for message transferred
between your Exchange organization and specific external domains. The settings
in the remote domain entry for a specific external domain override the settings
in the default remote domain that normally apply to all external recipients.
The remote domain settings are global for the Exchange organization
Ø
An accepted domain is any
SMTP namespace for which a Microsoft Exchange Online organization sends or
receives email. Accepted domains include those domains for which the Exchange
organization is authoritative. An Exchange organization is authoritative when
it handles mail delivery for recipients in the accepted domain. Accepted
domains also include domains for which the Exchange organization receives mail
and then relays it to an email server that's outside the organization for
delivery to the recipient.
