ACMEExchange: A Free Let’s Encrypt Client for Microsoft Exchange Servers

Download ACMEExchange 2.3.0

Client Features:

  • Supports Microsoft Exchange 2019, Exchange 2016, Exchange 2013, and Exchange 2010 server.
  • Simplified and easy to use – just four options and you are good to go (check the video demo).
  • Automatic renewal – the client creates a renewal job in the Task Scheduler.
  • Dependable – deploys a set it and forget it approach; the Let’s Encrypt certificates are managed automatically for you.
  • Detailed logging and email reporting – a certificate renewal report with an info log attached is sent to the provided admin email(s) upon each LE certificate renewal.
  • Easy to add and remove names from the certificate – just run it with the –dns option and the names that you need.
  • Easy Let’s Encrypt certificate renewal – just run it with the –renew option.
  • It’s free – a free Let’s Encrypt client for the LE certificates in Microsoft Exchange Server.

The ACMEExchange client for Let’s Encrypt certificates for Exchange servers that we provide is using the ACMESharpCore library written by Eugene Bekker and available on GitHub.

We have made the client as simple to use as possible, cutting out any extra functionality and tuning it solely for the needs of the Exchange Server admin. On the other hand, it fully automates the process of installing and renewing trusted Let’s Encrypt certificates in Exchange servers.

If you feel that extra functionality needs to be added or you have suggestions for improving the client, we would appreciate your feedback.

Screencast (Part 2): How to Upgrade from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2019

by admin
Part 2: 

  • Create a dedicated public folder database and relocate the DB and log files to the corresponding volumes. We check the Storage Quotas on the Exchange 2019 DB as well to make sure that they match or exceed the quotas that we have documented in part 1.
  • Create and modify the required connectors. Test the mail flow between a test mailbox on the Exchange 2019 server and the mailboxes on the legacy Exchange 2013 server. Change the name resolution and perform the actual switch of the mailflow. Test the normal functionality.
  • Demonstrate the different approaches for moving the mailboxes and outline their advantages and disadvantages. Move the arbitration and Discover Search mailboxes to Exchange 2019 server.
  • Demonstrate different ways to organize and move the user mailboxes in batches, including the option to complete the move requests after work hours, to minimize the impact on the clients.
  • Migrate and validate the migration of the public folders to Exchange 2019 server.
  • Enable and validate the new transport protocol – MAPI over HTTP.
  • Decommission the legacy Exchange 2013 server and perform a final validation.

In this Screencast Part 2: Upgrade Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2019, we complete the upgrade from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2019. This is the second and last part of the two-part Screencast. In the first part, we go through the obligatory health checks of the existing Active Directory and Exchange organization, and we pay attention to the most common mistakes and issues that you might have.
In the second part, we perform the actual migration of the resources and switch the mailflow alongside with the required health checks and validation procedures. In addition, we enable and validate MAPI over HTTP.

For your convenience, the text file with the commands and the plan that we follow is available for download on the Screencast page.

Migrate File Server 2003 to Server 2012 R2

by admin

 

Screencast :Server 2003 Migrations

  • Consolidate multiple legacy servers
  • Preserve share paths and security permissions
  • Minimize downtime and avoid reconfiguring clients and applications

In this Screencast How to Migrate Server 2003 File Servers to Server 2012 R2, we demonstrate how to migrate and consolidate multiple Server 2003 file servers to Server 2012 R2.

The key requirements in this project are:
– Preserving the existing Sharing and Security permissions.
– Preserving the UNC Share paths, so no reconfiguration of the clients and applications are required.
– Minimizing downtime

To cover these requirements, we’ll be using the Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit. It allows you to migrate data in two passes. During the first pass, users can still access the file shares, and you can perform it during regular working hours. The second pass performs the actual cut over, when the delta is copied and applied to the destination shares and client access is interrupted.

When the migration project completes, we demonstrate an elegant way to preserve the UNC paths and restore access to the migrated file shares on the destination server right away, effectively minimizing downtime.

Screencast :How to Install Exchange Server 2016

  • Perform Active Directory Health Check
  • Install Exchange 2016 Prerequisites and Prepare the Schema
  • Install Exchange Server 2016
  • Validate the Installation and Move the Exchange DB and Log Files to Dedicated ReFS volumes

In this Screencast How to Install Exchange 2016, we demonstrate how to perform a new (greenfield) installation of Exchange Server 2016 on Windows Server 2012 R2. In our demo, we are dealing with a single domain/single forest configuration, but the demonstrated approach is applicable to a multiple domain environment as well. Once we confirm that we are dealing with a healthy AD configuration and we cover the Exchange 2016 directory server requirements, we proceed with extending the schema and preparing the AD.

Next, we prepare the server and perform the actual Exchange 2016 installation, followed by a validation and testing of the new Exchange 2016 server.

Finally, we demonstrate how to prepare dedicated volumes for the Exchange DB and logs (the Exchange setup wizard doesn’t offer the option to choose a location for the database and log files), and how to rename and move the Exchange 2016 DB and logs to their corresponding volumes

Free Video :Hyper-V: Change Resolution in Ubuntu VM

Changing the screen resolution in Hyper-V virtual machines running Linux OS turns to be a well known problem. Moreover, depending on the guest OS, the solution is different. We’ve already demonstrated how to change the screen resolution in CentOS and Red Hat Hyper-V Virtual Machines in the following video How to Change Screen Resolution in CentOS / Red Hat Virtual Machines,

In this short video, we demonstrate how to change the screen resolution in Ubuntu Hyper-V Virtual Machines. For your convenience, we provide the commands that we are using in the video:
# Use “sudoedit” to modify the “/etc/default/grub” file
# for the Microsoft Hyper-V Synthetic Video Frame Buffer driver
sudoedit /etc/default/grub
# Modify the “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT” line passing the video argument with the required resolution
# for the Microsoft Hyper-V Synthetic Video Frame Buffer driver
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1024×768″
# Apply the changes to the grub.cfg
sudo update-grub
# A reboot is required to apply the changes:
reboot
