Need help wit SBS 2011 and Exchange 2010


Recommended Posts

My problem is 2 fold in a way as it seems to work but not fully

Using the microsoft exchange test utility I get the following 2 errors (the otehr 2 tests are passed green 100% - OWA works fine) ... have tried looking into those 2 errors but unable to get to the bottom of it ...

running the Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP)

Attempting to ping RPC proxy mail.domain.com

RPC Proxy can't be pinged.

Additional Details

An HTTP 401 Unauthorized response was received from the remote Unknown server. This is usually the result of an incorrect username or password. If you are attempting to log onto an Office 365 service, ensure you are using your full User Principal Name (UPN).

running the Exchange ActiveSync

An ActiveSync session is being attempted with the server.

Errors were encountered while testing the Exchange ActiveSync session.

Test Steps

Attempting to send the OPTIONS command to the server.

Testing of the OPTIONS command failed. For more information, see Additional Details.

Additional Details

An HTTP 401 Unauthorized response was received from the remote IIS7 server. This is usually the result of an incorrect username or password. If you are attempting to log onto an Office 365 service, ensure you are using your full User Principal Name (UPN).

what errors are you seeing ?

can you send or receive mail?

have you set up a "mail.domain.com" in dns

Yes, sending works , receiving works but Outlook 2007 unable to make it work (although I have encountered a domain name where they cannot send/receive to me and I cannot send/receive from them, otehrwise all other domains - hotmail/yahoo/rogers/others seem to work fine

hmmm ... all i can tell you as of this second is that if I go into Server Config - Client Access - Ecp I have the internal and external domains there ...

not sure (have not come upon a tutorial to set that up per say)

Authentication - form based

Yes the port is opened and tested (443) and within the lan/server I get the propr 505/501 error so in essesnce it is working but have no clue why outlook would not budge (could it be because of the form based authentication -- make it basic?)

Edit: have not tried outlook within the lan though, only wan - which is not working

what do you mean? ... a bit more info if it helps

In outlook 2007 (could upgrade if that is the problem) ....

establishing network connection (check - good)

search for user server settings (autodiscovery - check -good)

then logon to server keeps asking for password over and over and over again

so I am assuming that the server or something within IIS or Exchange is blocking the request ... I have no clue what or why or where to even look

I would have to try that once I get home, I can only remote to the server and make config and test from anotehr computer to see if it works ...

So, I should try it within the network to see if it works ...

Now

Case 1: works, then it means something is blocking the protocol to get outside the network

Case2: not working then a bigger problem I would assume

Yes, 443 is open and good to go, exchange has been restarted

What puzzles me the most is that

1. Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP) says cannot ping proxy

2. Exchange ActiveSync says send Option command

I have recreated the virtual directories for ECP and autodiscovery ... yet, manual/automatic setup not working

Edit: which is true. I cannot ping the damn site. IT works fine for mail.domain and domain.com but not ping ....

Can u connect to

Https://server/owa from a local computer? Use the internal server name. First let's test internal. To make life easier get a cert from an authorized certificate provider.

If you want to get this working quickly we can do a join.me session.

I can confirm the following are working from within the lan

OWA / ECP / Autodiscovery

I can also confirm the following are working on WAN

OWA / ECP / Autodiscovery (https://server/OWA (or ecp_

Will do the test for Outlook within LAN today once I get home ... the certificate I hae is recognised and passes the microsoft exchange test for atuodiscovery and activesync

as far as I can look at rpc is installed and configured ... active sync seems to be fine, but just to doublecheck

under server config client access https://mail.domain....rver-ActiveSync can be accessed from WAN just fine (though it gives the error http version not supported) from within LAN same thing (505/501 common error)

for RPC same thing .... I will be running the assumption both services are up and runing and the 505 http version not supported from what I have read mean it works fine ?!

have not tried locally with outlook (did not cross my mind as I wanted it to work from WAN - oversight on my part - will do it once I get home from work) as for logs, have not found anything conclusive in IIS nor exchange though I only looked briefly)

but from what you can deduce from what I have provided, it should work right?

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
