Exchange Emails - Pending
-
We're on Exchange 2013. Weird issue we've been having with only one distribution list. When you email a certain distribution list, everything goes through fine. If you try and send that distribution list a calendar invite, it is in a pending state until it fails 48 hours later. I blew it away and created a new distribution list (on the Exchange server, which populates to AD just fine) with a new name. The users in the list are all active employees and accounts are all fine. This should be a crazy simple function. Any ideas why emailing the group works fine but sending an invite is pending?
-
What version of Exchange? What Version of outlook? Dynamic or Regular distribution group?
-
@brianlittlejohn Exchange 2013, Outlook 2010, static distribution group.
-
I'm not sure. I'm running Exchange 2010, Outlook 2016 and Meeting Requests are sending like they should to distribution groups.
-
@brianlittlejohn Yeah it's weird. I have NEVER had this kind of issue before.
-
I'm guessing you don't get an NDR back when it fails
-
@brianlittlejohn Nothing is generated. The user shows it as a sucessfully sent email. It's not until 48 hours later that they receive a failed to deliver to all recipients. Basically it gets pushed from the client to the server, then it just sits on the server.

I'm running this same setup, but I can't accept meeting requests for conference rooms - can you?
*Edit - I am behind on Rollup patches.
-
@Dashrender On my room and resource mailboxes I had to enable auto accept meeting requests. This helps...

Its exchange 2007, but I think the commands are the same.

@Dashrender Oddly enough, this is for a conference room. The resource has its own calendar. I took that out of the mix, if that helps you at all. I pulled everyone but me and her out of the distribution list. Trying it shortly...

Here is a better guide.

I don't want auto accept on my conference room. It's managed by the secretary.
-
@Dashrender We have a worthless secretary, so If it is open on the calendar it gets accepted. Is your secretary getting the meeting requests for the conference room?

yep, her and I both get them. I only deal with them when she it out of the office.

Our secretary is a really good one! Lives up to the title of old. She's our Secretary of State

What Service Pack and Rollup are you running?
-
@brianlittlejohn I've gone through Installed Updates but can't find any relevant information as to the Service Pack or Rollup. Any tips on finding that info?
-
@BBigford Its based on the build number.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh135098(v=exchg.150).aspx
-
@brianlittlejohn The build is 516.32, how do you decipher your service pack from that?
-
@BBigford Look at the table on the link I gave... The build number should be longer and start 15.* It has the powershell command to run to get it on the page as well.
