Easier Access to Better Formatted Message Headers In Outlook and OWA 2013

June 26th, 2013 2 comments

Many mail administrators need to review headers from various messages to troubleshoot problems. Those could be mail flow, hygiene (spam), etc. Traditionally, this has been performed by clicking File>Properties, and reviewing the contents of the small Internet headers box at the bottom.

Outlook message headers

I can say that I would often copy the contents of that field and paste them into Notepad to view it in a larger format. Well, it’s now a little easier for both Outlook 2013 and Outlook Web App 2013. A couple of steps and message headers are now a single click away. Log into EAC for your organization, and navigate to Organization>Apps.

Add app

Next, locate the Message Header Analyzer app from the list of available applications, and click Add.

You’ll be presented with a confirmation dialog box for the Message Header Analyzer app. Review the information, and click Yes.

at this point, the app is installed, and listed in the apps in EAC. We’ll leave it disabled by default for users.

Now log into OWA as yourself, and go to Options. Click on Apps on the left, and highlight the MessageHeaderAnalyzer in the list of installed apps, and click Enable on the right side.

end user enable

end user enable

Now go back to your mailbox in OWA.In the preview pane, we now see the MessageHeaderAnalyzer link in the toolbar.

Click the link, and you’ll see a new window in the preview pane that shows a beautifully formatted display of the message headers. Easy to read and navigate, this certainly beats the old format in the small window. And it’s not crammed into some small window.

And it gets even better because if you have Outlook 2013, selecting another message will show the MessageHeaderAnalyzer link there, too!

This is just a simple tool that will make your life easier as an email admin/support professional. I encourage you to play with this and also to check out some of the other apps available.

Update Rollup 8 (UR8) for Exchange Server 2007 SP3 released

August 14th, 2012 No comments

Microsoft has released the following update rollup for Exchange Server 2010:

  • Update Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2007 SP3 (KB2734323)

If you’re running Exchange Server 2007 SP3, you need to apply Update Rollup 8 for Exchange 2007 SP3 to address the issues listed below.

Remember, you only need to download the latest update for the version of Exchange that you’re running.

Here is a list of the fixes included in update rollup 8:

  1. 2699574 Microsoft Exchange Information Store service may stop responding when you perform a search on Exchange mailboxes in an Exchange Server 2007 environment
  2. 2701037 Events 4999 and 7034 are logged and the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service crashes on an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox server
  3. 2730089 Microsoft Exchange Information Store service may stop responding when you perform a search on Exchange mailboxes in an Exchange Server 2007 environment
  4. 2732525 Outlook keeps prompting you for credentials and incorrectly connects to an out-of-site global catalog after you install Update Rollup 6 for Exchange Server 2007 SP3.

Update Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2007 SP3 also resolves the issue that is described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-058: Vulnerability in Microsoft Exchange Server WebReady document viewing could allow remote code execution: August 14, 2012

Download the rollup here.

Installation Notes:

If you haven’t installed Exchange Server yet, you can use the info at Quicker Exchange installs complete with service packs and rollups to save you some time.

Microsoft Update can’t detect rollups for Exchange 2010 servers that are members of a Database Availability Group (DAG). See the post Installing Exchange 2010 Rollups on DAG Servers for info, and a script, for installing update rollups.

Update Rollups should be applied to Internet facing Client Access Servers before being installed on non-Internet facing Client Access Servers.

If you’re installing the update rollup on Exchange servers that don’t have Internet access, see “Installing Exchange 2007 & 2010 rollups on servers that don’t have Internet access” for some additional steps.

Also, the installer and Add/Remove Programs text is only in English – even when being installed on non-English systems.

Note to Forefront users:

If you don’t disable Forefront before installing a rollup or service pack, and enable afterwards, you run the risk of Exchange related services not starting. You can disable Forefront by going to a command prompt and navigating to the Forefront directory and running FSCUtility /disable. To enable Forefront after installation of a UR or SP, run FSCUtility /enable.

Installation Notes:

If you haven’t installed Exchange Server yet, you can use the info at Quicker Exchange installs complete with service packs and rollups to save you some time.

Microsoft Update can’t detect rollups for Exchange 2010 servers that are members of a Database Availability Group (DAG). See the post Installing Exchange 2010 Rollups on DAG Servers for info, and a script, for installing update rollups.

Update Rollups should be applied to Internet facing Client Access Servers before being installed on non-Internet facing Client Access Servers.

If you’re installing the update rollup on Exchange servers that don’t have Internet access, see “Installing Exchange 2007 & 2010 rollups on servers that don’t have Internet access” for some additional steps.

Also, the installer and Add/Remove Programs text is only in English – even when being installed on non-English systems.

Note to Forefront users:

If you don’t disable Forefront before installing a rollup or service pack, and enable afterwards, you run the risk of Exchange related services not starting. You can disable Forefront by going to a command prompt and navigating to the Forefront directory and running FSCUtility /disable. To enable Forefront after installation of a UR or SP, run FSCUtility /enable.

Installation Notes:

If you haven’t installed Exchange Server yet, you can use the info at Quicker Exchange installs complete with service packs and rollups to save you some time.

Microsoft Update can’t detect rollups for Exchange 2010 servers that are members of a Database Availability Group (DAG). See the post Installing Exchange 2010 Rollups on DAG Servers for info, and a script, for installing update rollups.

Update Rollups should be applied to Internet facing Client Access Servers before being installed on non-Internet facing Client Access Servers.

If you’re installing the update rollup on Exchange servers that don’t have Internet access, see “Installing Exchange 2007 & 2010 rollups on servers that don’t have Internet access” for some additional steps.

Also, the installer and Add/Remove Programs text is only in English – even when being installed on non-English systems.

Note to Forefront users:

If you don’t disable Forefront before installing a rollup or service pack, and enable afterwards, you run the risk of Exchange related services not starting. You can disable Forefront by going to a command prompt and navigating to the Forefront directory and running FSCUtility /disable. To enable Forefront after installation of a UR or SP, run FSCUtility /enable.
