Exchange server send/receive limits
Had this question the other day, what are current Exchange on premises limits for messages? And can end users send 10GB file attachments? This site talks about limits, but it also depends on what is available vs. what you can support. By running some PowerShell code, the answers can be provided: Get-ReceiveConnector | Set-ReceiveConnector -MaxMessageSize
Restart-AutoDAppPool
Many times in an Exchange server, the IIS (Internet Information Services) is not the issue, but only the sub-set Autodiscover Application Pool. Therefore, once again, instead of just a one-off cmdlet against a single server, we have this function, to blast out to all Exchange servers, to restart their Autodiscover (sometimes referred to as AutoD),
Restart-IISOnServers
Added this to the MO_Module to remote in and restart just the IIS service on a single computer or a list of computers. Easy enough to do without a function, but I added some logic and Write-Verbose information to help the person running the command to see the content easier and quick. This will restart
Connect-ExchangeServer
This Connect-ExchangeServer function runs the PowerShell code to log into an Exchange server on premises using remote PowerShell. Using the -Computer parameter (required), tells the function which Exchange server to connect to. Using the -Prefix parameter (optional), allows a modification to the noun of the imported cmdlets, so that you can have multiple connections in

Get-DotNETVersion
The Get-DotNETVersion function presents the current .NET version on a machine. This is part of the MO_Module PowerShell code that helps administrators in their daily tasks. From an Exchange Server perspective, .NET support is very sensitive to which version of Exchange and which .NET is allowed to be used. This value also changes based on
MO_Module introduction
I’d like to introduce you to my MO_Module. It’s a PowerShell module, combining several daily administrative tasks into simple Verb-Noun Functions for engineers to perform their jobs easier. I was developing/maintaining several different PS modules, which became more work, so I thought I’d just combine everything into one single place. Since my primary technologies are
Does Exchange Server 2016 or 2013 allow the use of the Windows Server 2016 cluster CLOUD WITNESS feature?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/failover-clustering/deploy-cloud-witness No, neither version supports the cloud witness option. However, Exchange Server does fully support an Exchange File Share Witness server in Azure. If you choose this option, you’ll need a writable Domain Controller and a Windows Server to host up the File Share Witness directory. The reason for a Windows Server for the FSW,
Exchange needs Active Directory
I was recently called into help on a ‘Crit Sit’ (Critical Situation) that a customer had with their Exchange 2010 environment. During the previous night, a few of the Databases that have a total of 3 copies spread across a DAG flipped to different servers. This ultimately was caused by Exchange asking AD a question
