How to add an Edge Subscription

June 17th, 2009 No comments

Here are the steps you need to take, and some things to keep in mind

  • Open Exchange Management Shell (as Administrator)
  • New-EdgeSubscription -file C:\EdgeSubscription.xml
  • Answer “Y”
  • Transfer EdgeSubscription.xml to the Exchange Server
  • Open Exchange Management Console
  • In the left tree choose “Organization Configuration” and then “Hub Transport”
  • In the Actions pane click “New Edge Subscription”

Check if everything is working:

  • In the Exchange Management Console, Organization Configuration, Hub Transport, Edge Subscriptions.
    Your Edge Server should be listed
  • Open Exchange Management Shell and run Start-EdgeSynchronization

Problems:

  • “New-EdgeSubscription : The task couldn’t add the certificate to the ADAM directory service store. Error: access is denied.”
    Open Exchange Management Console as Administrator
  • “Start-EdgeSynchronization : unable to contact EdgeSync service”
    Go to Services, search for “Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync”, and click Properties
    Change Startup type to Automatic and Start the service.
  • Firewall Issues:
    I’ve installed EdgeServer together with Forefront TMG. You have to allow port 50636 from Exchange to EdgeServer
  • Also bare in mind that the EdgeSubscription.xml file is only valid for 24 hours or so

File Server publishing through OWA

March 27th, 2009 No comments

Hi,

I’m here with a new problem that I solved a while ago, but I do think lots of people will benefit from this.
Outlook Web Access 2007 has a new feature “Documents”. It can be used to access your documents through owa from anywhere.

The problem is, that even when you configure everything, it still doesn’t work. You can only access the local exchange server, but no other computer or server. Because you always get the following error:

authentication-failure

Authentication Failure:
Outlook Web Access was unable to retrieve the requested SharePoint document or folder. This may have occured because of the way your Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint servers are configured. You can try going directly to the resource by copying the link you typed and pasting it into Internet Explorer. For more information, contact technical support for your organization.

The error states an error with a SharePoint document, but we do want to access a File Share.
