Exchange Mail Routing Issue '451 5.7.3 Cannot achieve Exchange Server authentication'

Imagen
Thanks to: http://www.petenetlive.com/ Problem While putting in a New Exchange 2010 server today, I test moved a mailbox to this new site, and could not get mail to flow to the Exchange 2010 server at the clients main site. 451 4.4.0 Primary target IP address responded with: "451 5.7.3 Cannot achieve Exchange Server authentication." Attempted failover to alternate host , but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternative hosts, or delivery failed to all alternative hosts. Mail flowed from the main site to this new site, and internal mail at the new site was fine, but any mail destined for the main site, or going external (because the main site has the only server that can use the Exchange organization send connector) would fail with this error. Solution I did a lot of trawling to try and find the answer to this, and discovered lots of reasons for this to happen, so rather than just posting what fixed mine, from the most popular to the most obscure try

How to configure a Cisco ASA Site to Site VPN between Static and Dynamic IP based Peers

Imagen
Thanks to: http://itzecurity.blogspot.com/ ASA-ASA VPN: One Static & One Dynamic address To configure a Site to Site VPN between 2 Peers ; one with a Dynamic IP and the other with a static IP a dynamic crypto map is used.However as the static based peer will be unaware of the remote peers IP the VPN can only be initated from the dynamic side.   Note  : Unlike other vendors (such as the Juniper SRX), main mode is used for phase 1 negotiations between the dynamic/static based peers (this can be confirmed via the command 'sh vpn-sessiondb detail l2l'). On the Peer that has a static IP, the configuration is pretty standard. The only difference being is that a dynamic crypto map is configured.A dynamic crypto map is a crypto map that does not have all of the parameters defined, these are then later learnt at the point that the IPsec tunnel is formed. Note  : The dynamic crypto map should have the highest sequence number within the crypto map to ensure that

How To – Allow non-admins to start and stop system services

Imagen
thank to:http://thommck.wordpress.com/ Jump down to Step 1 to skip the blurb Any Microsoft Windows operating system has services. These are little programs that run in the background of the OS to keep things ticking over. They’re really fundamental to servers as it means that programs can run in the background without any user being logged. In fact Windows servers are fine-tuned to give better performance to background services rather than any app running on the screen. It’s always the best principle to log on with the least amount of privileges on any PC, i.e. you shouldn’t log on to a desktop or server with full admin rights. You should log on as a normal user and only elevate the  programmes authority to admin level if absolutely necessary. Some System Administrators may want an easy life and just let everything “run as admin” as it cuts back on a lot of problems, especially when using old software. Obviously this greatly widens the security attack vector, as any user who c

gpo internet explorer proxy settings not applying in windows 7

Thanks to: http://thommck.wordpress.com/ Internet Explorer 10 was released for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 machines back in February 2013. Nine months later and we are going through it again with  Internet Explorer 11 . For SysAdmins and IT Pros managing software updates, these new versions led to quite a significant change in how we use Group Policy to manage them. I only recently discovered that when Windows 8 (and along with it IE10) was released they finally got rid of the “Internet Explorer Maintenance” Section of the Group Policy Editor. This section always struck me as an odd place to configure IE settings and I’m still not sure why they couldn’t just use the normal Administrative Template section. Internet Explorer Maintenance in Server 2003 Group Policy Editor Below is an excerpt from the technet article  Replacements for Internet Explorer Maintenance  from the  IE10 Deployment Guide In earlier versions of the Windows operating system, Internet Explorer
