Here’s a little bit of fun I had while trying to find out who would be playing my beloved Detroit Tigers in the World Series. I needed to update our Lync servers, so installation of the October 2012 Cumulative Update was in order.

As soon as the Cumulative Update was done installing on one of our front end servers, SCOM started throwing alerts every 30 seconds. Essentially, they looked like this:

Oct 20 13:13:56 cltlb01 l4d: VS 47.231.153.66:443(TMG Lync External HTTPS meetContosoCom) Taken out of service due to failed Real Servers

Looking at the servers, the first front end server wasn’t reporting any issues. But the second was flooded with these in the application log:

Every time the HLB tried to do the health check, another ASP.NET exception would show up in the event log. We checked the HLB config, and it was properly set to connect to https://*/meet/blank.html for its deep health check. This is important because if you have it set to just check /meet or https://*meet/, I’ve seen this identical problem pop up. I verified that the file was at the correct location (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Web Components\Join Launcher\Int), and that I could open it in IE. The file didn’t have a recent modified date. So, we changed the health check just to do a TCP bind to the server, and the problem went away. HLB was happy, and ASP.NET alerts stopped in the event log. Synthetic tests came back fine. Back to the baseball game, I figured.

Fast forward to Monday morning, when two users simultaneously contacted me to say that they were attempting to join a scheduled Lync meeting and getting the below error. Not the same meeting – two separate meetings.

They sent me the links, and I was able to successfully join both meetings, but I’m homed on a different server than those two users. The plot thickens.

I looked at the front end servers again, and sure enough, whenever someone would try to join either of those meetings, that trouble server would throw an ASP.NET error again. It wasn’t as fixed as I hoped.

I drained the server using Stop-CsWindowsService -Graceful, then stopped IIS using net stop w3svc. I navigated to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and ran aspnet_regiis.exe -i. I restarted the server, and suddenly the problem was gone. Everyone was able to join their meetings, and the server no longer was throwing ASP.NET errors. We changed the health check back to looking at /meet/blank.html, and all was good.

If you need to list all users who have Send-As access to other user’s mailboxes in Exchange, try this little one-liner from Exchange Management Shell:

This will show you the user who has the right and the mailbox they have rights to.

Note that I use fl (Full List) instead of ft (Full Table) because the identity field can be quite long.

Description

While migrating some users during a Lync migration, I needed to disable users for Lync in one forest, and enable them in another. I ran into a problem where many users in the legacy forest had adminCount set to 1, and security inheritance disabled. The problem is that my account didn’t have rights to disable them in Lync, and I was getting an access denied error. This is common when the user is/was a member of a protected group. I won’t go into the background of adminCount, as it’s well documented.

I knew that as the migration progressed, we would identify more users where this was the case. So I wanted to find a better way of dealing with these. There are several ways of finding users with adminCount set using PowerShell, including

and using the ActiveDirectory PowerShell module via

and we can look at groups, too, using

Turns out that many of the users (1000+) were no longer members of protected groups, what’s often referred to as Orphaned AdminSD Objects. So we could clear adminCount and enable security inheritance. But doing this manually on 1000+ users isn’t something that any of us wanted to spend time doing.

We can clear adminCount with a one-liner:

But that doesn’t take care of security inheritance, which is the real culprit in my issue. We can use dsacls:

Unfortunately, this involves multiple steps in native PowerShell. So, a function was born.

Set-AdminUser takes input from either the $UserName parameter, or via the pipeline, and clears adminCount, then enables security inheritance. It can process a single user or multiple, such as with the output of Get-ADGroupMember.

Donations

I’ve never been one to really solicit donations for my work. My offerings are created because *I* need to solve a problem, and once I do, it makes sense to offer the results of my work to the public. I mean, let’s face it: I can’t be the only one with that particular issue, right? Quite often, to my surprise, I’m asked why I don’t have a “donate” button so people can donate a few bucks. I’ve never really put much thought into it. But those inquiries are coming more often now, so I’m yielding to them. If you’d like to donate, you can send a few bucks via PayPal at https://www.paypal.me/PatRichard. Money collected from that will go to the costs of my website (hosting and domain names), as well as to my home lab.

Installation

Note: Pay close attention to the installation notes listed on the summary page. They include manual tasks that must be followed after installing the updates on Lync servers.

Microsoft has discovered that digital certificates used to sign some files in recent Update Rollups for Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Server 2007 will expire prematurely, some as soon as the next couple of months. This was documented in a recent Security Advisory. As a result, Microsoft has released corrected versions of Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2, Update Rollup 7 for Exchange Server 2010 SP1, and Update Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2007 SP3. For the most part, nothing from a code or functionality/feature set changes, with the exception of Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2010 SP2. That rollup includes a fix for  a problem with Outlook 2010 and 2013 where only one result is returned when clicking “view all results”. That fix, from KB 2756987, is now included. All of these Update Rollups, dubbed the “V2” of each, are now available for download at the links below.

When installing these Update Rollups, it is not required to uninstall the original version.

Microsoft has noted in another Advisory from Security Research and Defense that this isn’t an Exchange issue, and is reissuing other recent releases as well. This includes some security patches. I suggest you read that advisory to see how it may impact other systems in your environment.

Microsoft has also released a WinVerifyTrust package to verify that the issue is resolved. Download the appropriate version if you’d like to ensure you’re safe.

It’s also important to know that some third-party applications and solutions may display unexpected results if they query these incorrect time stamps. As a result it’s recommended that you install the v2 versions even if you already have the original v1 version installed. Microsoft states: “We encourage all customers to apply the re-released, re-signed security updates as they become available. As an additional defense-in-depth measure, we recommend that customers also apply the updated WinVerifyTrust package which serves as an effective way for Windows and Microsoft applications to extend the validity period of these packages beyond the premature expiration date. We should be clear that the re-released, re-signed security updates by themselves are sufficient to address the potential compatibility issue and the WinVerifyTrust package is not strictly necessary – it is offered as a defense-in-depth option to customers who want to ensure that this issue does not affect them between now and the time they apply the updated security updates.”

This latest blunder doesn’t give Exchange IT professionals a warm fuzzy feeling. This is the latest in a string of bungled releases that have had to be released due to some problem. While I applaud Microsoft in identifying and correcting the issue without trying to hide it, I have to wonder if it’s safe to install any patches for fear they may further break an Exchange environment. A long-standing belief that many have is to not install RTM software – wait till the first service pack comes out. I’ve never held on to that, but Microsoft sure isn’t doing much in the public eye to help rid that believe. Let’s hope this is a lesson learned and this type of public humiliation for Microsoft doesn’t become any more of a pattern.

During a recent cross-forest migration, some users reported that after their workstation was moved to the new forest and their account was enabled for Lync, they would get the following prompt immediately after logging in:

Notice that it’s prompting for credentials for Response Groups. This environment had no Response Groups. If the user entered correct credentials, the prompt would just reappear right away. Users could click Cancel, and the prompt would go away, but would return about every 2 hours. Also noticed was that these users would never get a Lync Address Book, either.

This was a greenfield Lync deployment in a new forest that users, workstations, and email was migrated to from many other domains. Checking over the Lync environment yielded no real culprits. Issues with permissions on the Lync share can cause the issue, but those were correct as well. Certificates were also fine. Since only a few users reported the problem (< .1% of all Lync users), and all users in the organization were assigned the same policies in Lync, I became convinced it was a client side issue.

The resolution was to open Internet Explorer, go to Settings>Internet Options>Advanced. Scroll all the way to the bottom and remove the check for Enable Integrated Windows Authentication.

Click Ok, then reboot the machine. Once rebooted, go back and put the check back in the Enable Integrated Windows Authentication box and reboot again.

This resolved the problem for all of the users having this problem. Not only did the prompt stop appearing, but all users who performed the fix also reported successful address book downloads.

It’s important to note that while just disabling Integrated Windows Authentication generally resolves the prompt for credentials, you really should enable it again as described to avoid issues with other applications and services.
