Helping a co worker this morning troubleshooting the installation of Exchange 2019 Management Tools.
A second Windows 11 VM had also already been tried just to rule out anything with the OS on the machine.
The first error which appears to be a common one is the installation of the ‘IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility’ components were missing.

Just because I’ll forget the right number of bytes to use. To set the Max Send/Receive size of a mailbox in Exchange Online PowerShell you should use 157,286,400 (bytes).
Set-Mailbox -maxSendSize 157286400 -maxReceiveSize 157286400July 31, 2023 Leave a comment
I am working on an Exchange migration project currently, and setting up some things in a lab. As part of that I am converting what was a Modern Hybrid setup with the Hybrid Agent, to a Classic Hybrid, using connectors and what not.
I was trying to use New-FederationTrust setup a Federation trust and received the following:
Unable to access the Federation Metadata document from the federation partner. Detailed information “The remote server returned an error: (426) Upgrade Required.”

So, you want to automate the creation of Microsoft Teams Call Queues. You want to use Shared Voicemail and the target is a Unified Group. But wait, what’s this, invalid overflow action target?
As you can see above we are using a variable $unifiedGroup, and selecting the id of that object. This is derived from an earlier command ‘Get-UnifiedGroup‘.

This week I was working on an Azure Function Web Hook to receive data from a third party service.
The service I was receiving the data from was a little limited in that all I could provide was an endpoint where the data would be posted, and an example of how the data would be formatted.

Spent too long troubleshooting this, because I, like most men, do not read the manual.
Trying to deploy Office 2019 Standard Volume License using the ODT. Using a config file I created at config.office.com. After running the setup.exe /configure configure.xml command you receive an error saying unable to download a required file or similar.
Solution – remove en-GB from your list of languages.
en-GB is only supported in builds newer than 2108 and Office 2019 is currently on build 1808.
It says it here, I just didn’t think to check because I was using the Config tool to build the file.
Lesson learned.

I never thought i’d be writing about SBS 2011 again, but here she is, back from the dead.
I’m working on a migration SBS 2011 > 2019 and as per my guide i was trying to get a system state backup of the source server before making any changes. Well, the SBS had other ideas.
Running the command
wbadmin start systemstate backup -backuptarget:g:
Would result in an error ‘parameter incorrect’ after a few minutes.
