Exchange2010 Who Knew?

See also: "Your mailbox is almost full"

I humbly propose that this error message could be a little more clear.  While using EMC to manage send as or full access permissions, if you click "manage" without making any changes, this is the message that lets you know you haven't made any changes.  It doesn't have anything to do with whether the permissions have actually changed or are working as expected.  

This wasn't any fun.  Remotely rebooted our Exchange 2010 server and it never came back.  When I got to the server I saw that bootup had stopped after loading volume drivers with this message: Bootmgr is missing.

Sigh.

Apparently this happens sometimes during a windows update.  Dell support recommended this process.  For what it's worth, I was unable to even see the C:\boot directory on my server.  But booting from a Windows 7 recovery DVD got me going.

Remove your WS2008R2 DVD and install the W7x64 DVD.

Boot from the DVD and do a repair.

It will offer to repair automatically accept.

Reboot and this is the "trick" boot the DVD again and do a repair.  Keep doing this process until it does not find anything wrong.

Your server should boot again.

Open Active Directory Users and Computers and View advanced features

Find the user account for the mailbox with the issue and go to the properties of this account

Go to the security tab and hit advanced

1. Open the EMC goto --> Orgaination Configuration --> Mailbox --> Database Management 

Right click for the mailbox click <Properties> goto the maintenance tab and un-check the <Circular Logging> function.

2. Dismount / mount your mailbox (it got around 10 minutes for a 150 GB mailbox)

3. <F5> to refresh the EMC to ensure database mount successfully and the passive copy is health (sometime <F5> cannot show the real time status workaround re-open EMC)

4. Under the EMS to vertify the status

Get-mailboxdatabase | where {$_.circularloggingEnabled –eq $true}

  ...or you could do this:

You can't use the EMC to change the bad item limit.
