On the CAS servers, for Mailbox connections, you need to use add a DWORD registry
key named �TCP/IP Port� under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeRpc\ParametersSystem
Set the value to the port number to be assigned. In this article we use port 55000,
but you are free to choose whatever port you want to use, just remember it should
not conflict with other applications using the port. It is recommend you choose a
port within the dynamic RPC ranger (59531 and 60554)
2) user needs to send a file for 12 mb to an external user , how much will be
allowed and where would you do this
The only way to set size limits exclusively for attachments is to use a hub
transport rule, which will detect and block messages if their attachments are over
a specified size threshold
3) a user group policy settings is not getting applied to client computer ( the
computer does not belong to that user ) , how would you force a policy to be
applied to that user

4) on windows 2008 R2 how would you upgrade the schema of active directory .. using
the command line and which roles should be updated first ..
* domain has trust relationship *** please explain your answer with respect to
roles
5) how to avoid split brain syndrome in exhcange DAG with equal member nodes
Let's say there are 5 nodes A,B,C,D and E which form a cluster, X.
Now a node (say E) fails.
Cluster reformation takes place. Actually, the remaining nodes A,B,C and D should
form cluster X.
But split brain situation may occur which leads to formation of two clusters X1
(containing A and B) and X2 (containing C and D).
Both X1 and X2 clusters think that they are the only active cluster. Both clusters
start accessing the data or disk, leading to data corruption.
High availability clusters are all vulnerable to split brain syndrome and should
use some mechanism to avoid it. Clustering tools, such as Pacemaker, HP
ServiceGuard, CMAN and LinuxHA, generally include such mechanisms.
6) Certificate server has been expired with public key and has been crashed how
would you build a new SA server from scratch and sync with clients
7) 1 of the 5 users is not receiving emails from external source , how would you
track that email and reason for not receiving . what is common language where
metadata information is written
If the issue occurs from Exchange Server end, probably you need to restart
Microsoft Exchange Transport service.
check it by sending a test mail from any random external email address to your
internal e-mail address. Now go to the EMC (Exchange Management Console), and
select Toolbox from the right menu, and click twice on Message Tracking option.You
will get the delivery report of the mail.

Micrsoft ( Eg : MicrosoftEasyFix50202.msi..etc) and restart the computer
Install Microsoft releases fix for Windows Update corruption errors

by step procedure

steps
27) what is difference between master collection service and personal collection
service ?
28) what is active manager in exchange 2010 and how different it is in 2013 and
2016
31 ) difference between accepted domain and relay domains ( external and internal )
33) how does replication work between sites and within sites
36) difference between layer 4 load balancing and layer 7 load balancing
Set the server to use another DNS server as its primary DNS server.Just considered
using RODC at branches and RODC would also cut down on your replication time
because most accounts won't get replicated.
A tombstone is an object deleted from the directory, but not yet removed from the
database.They are removed (physically deleted) by the garbage collection process
once they are older than the tombstone lifetime.The tombstone lifetime is
determined by the value of the tombstoneLifetime attribute on the Directory Service
object in the configuration directory partition. Its default value depends on the
server OS version of the first DC in the forest and is either 60 or 180 days. For
domain controllers upgraded to Windows Server 2008 that use a tombstone lifetime of
60 days, Microsoft recommends manually setting the value to 180 days. One of the
benefits this provides is an increase in the useful life of backups.
