SYSVOL and NETLOGON Share is missing in Newly Built Domain Controllers 2008R2/2012R2.

Windows Server 2008R2 Domain Controllers where introduced in 2003 Active Directory Environment.

  • Make sure connectivity is healthy between the PDC (Primary Domain Controller) (Open Cmd prompt run – netdom query fsmo)
  • Make sure SYSVOL and NETLOGON share is accessible on PDC from Secondary Domain Controllers.

To Rebuilt it –

  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Locate the following subkey in Registry Editor:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
  3. In the details pane, right-click the SysvolReady flag, and then click Modify.
  4. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  5. Again in the details pane, right-click the SysvolReady flag, and then click Modify.
  6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

Note – In my case the Value was already 0 . So I placed it to 1 and restarted NETLOGON . Shares came up without reboot.

In my case ,had to Copy paste the below folder manually to the Domain Controllers to Pick it up.

Normally if you wait for some time . It has to copy the folders on its own.

Exchange 2013 vs POP System/Google Apps for Work receiving mail in plain text

When Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013, Coexist between a old pop system or Google apps , You can see the messages sent to those systems from Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2013 servers will receive the email in plain text.

Note : This happens when those external recipients are added as mail contacts in our Exchange Global Address list.

Coz by detault Mail Contacts uses MapiRichTextFormat which old POP system or Google Apps work email cannot understand.

Below parameter by default –

UseMapiRichTextFormat  : Always

image

To overcome this issue – Set the parameter to Never so that it doesn’t use the MapiRichTextFormat

UseMapiRichTextFormat  : Never

To set for all Mail Contacts –

Get-MailContact -ResultSize Unlimited | Where-Object {$_.primarysmtpaddress -like “*Careexchange.in”} | Set-MailContact -UseMapiRichTextFormat Never

Now you can receive those emails in a common format from Exchange 2010/2013 servers.

Federation from Lync Hosting Packs (LHP) 2013 Tenants to Lync Online is not working

Issue :

Federation from Lync Hosting Packs (LHP) 2013 Tenants  to Lync Online is not working

image

Description :

When an End user from Lync Hosting Packs (LHP) 2013 Tenants  is not able to send messages to a Lync Online user who is in Open federation.

Issue exists vice versa.

Findings :

Root domain (cloudCareExchange.in) is able to send messages to Lync Online users and vice versa works without any issues.

LHP Tenants able to send messages to other Federate clients who are using Lync Onpremises version.

As there is a SRV mismatch for the Lync Hosting Packs (LHP) Tenants , Lync Online is not able to send messages to LHP tenant.

For Example :

Tenant1 SRV – _sipfederationtls._tcp.tenant1.com

Service address : sip.cloudCareExchange.in

Port : 5061

While Lync Online trying to communicate with an LHP tenant  – Client Logs –

Via: SIP/2.0/TLS 10.122.112.70:53992;received=10.102.122.25;ms-received-port=53992;ms-received-cid=52E2C00

ms-diagnostics: 1009;reason="No match for domain in DNS SRV results";domain="tenant1.com";fqdn1="sip.cloudCareExchange.in:5061";source="sipfed0F.online.lync.com"

Server: RTC/6.0

Content-Length: 0

Solution :

Lync Online has to add us as a Hosting provider as we are using service provider version.

Provider Name: cloudCareExchange

Edge Service FQDN :Sip.cloudCareExchange.in

Email Microsoft @ — ‘hostlync@microsoft.com’

The process will take minimum of two weeks.
