“This message could not be sent” Error [0x80070005-00000000-00000000] in Outlook 2010

Recently i have created one user email address on my Exchange server 2013., now this user need to have other user’s mailbox access also in his profile.

I have configured his outlook profile successfully and then add new profile for other user as well. Now when i start outlook , select 2nd user profile, login to his mailbox and i tried to send one mail for testing purpose, mail was bounce back with below error :

  This message could not be sent. Try sending the message again later, or contact your network administrator.
                       Error is [0x80070005-00000000-00000000]

How Strange !  I had not have this type of an error in past. Then i had tried to remove outlook profile , recreate it but same issue arrived again !

I had Google it found below KB from Microsoft

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2918777

As per KB, This issue may occur if the address book in Outlook isn’t updated.

Update the address book in Outlook. To do this, follow these steps.

– On the Office ribbon, click the Send/Receive tab, click the down arrow next to Send/Receive Groups, and then click Download Address Book.

-In the Offline Address Book dialog box, make sure that the Download changes since last Send/Receive check box is selected and that Offline Global Address List is selected as the address book, and then click OK.

After updating outlook address book , Error was gone 🙂

Configure the auto reply message for specified user mailbox

Yesterday my management asked me that is there any way to configure auto reply message for one user. I had some doubt for this as we have exchange 2003 standard edition server, but after googling , i have found Yes it is Possible in Exchange 2003 server !!

Please follow this steps for configuring Auto Reply message:

The first thing you have to do is make sure the “Allow automatic Replies” box is ticked within the “Internet Message Formats” properties.

1. Open your Exchange System Manager
2. Expand your “global Settings Folder”
3. Right Click on “Internet Message Formats”
4. Select the “Advanced” tab
5. Tick the box “Allow automatic Replies”
6. Click “ok” to save the settings.
Now login to the mail account you want to send automatic reply from and set up a rule.
1. Start a new blank rule
2. select ” check messages when they arrive, then click “Next”
3. Don’t select anything, just click “next”
4. You should receive a message saying something like ” this will be applied to all message received, continue Yes / No”
5. click “Yes”
6. Select “Have Server reply using a specific message”
7. create the message then finish.

NOTE: Outlook does not have to be running for the Rules Wizard to automatically reply with a specific message. Also, you can configure Outlook to periodically check for new messages, and to hang up when it has completed sending and receiving messages.

Shrink the SEPM 12.1 database

I had an issue with SBS2008 C drive space, i have checked and found that SEP database size is nearly 3GB. I had then decided to reduce this database size ASAP. I had Google it found below solution from Symantec Web Site.

1. Backup your database.

Before running this tool, please backup the DB manually by stopping the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager service and copying the sem5.db and sem5.log from “..\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\db\”  to another folder. You can copy them back and start the SEPM service and embedded database service to restore the previous SEPM status.

2. Copy this tool into the “Tools” folder of the SEP Manager.

Copy the file ShrinkEmbeddedDB.bat and ShrinkEmbeddedDB.jar to folder “..\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Tools\”.

3. Double click file ShrinkEmbeddedDB.bat or run it from a command window.

4. Follow the prompt of the tool to delete the sem5.db.bak and sem5.log.bak after shrinking the database successfully.

I have successfully reduced  the SEP database size. I have performed above step in SBS2008 Environment.

Microsoft Releases Out-of-Band Patch For IE Vulnerability

Released as a MSI package, the patch is described as a workaround that leverages the Windows application compatibility toolkit to make a small change to MSHTML.DLL in memory every time the DLL is loaded by Internet Explorer. Microsoft previously recommended IE users to take this step manually, while the patch automates the task. Microsoft provides an installation guide for the workaround as well as information to uninstall the patch again.

Microsoft stressed that the workaround is only effective if all recent security updates for IE have been installed as well.

The company confirmed existing attacks that exploit the vulnerability. However, Microsoft said that “only 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer” are targeted and attacks “rely on third-party browser plugins to either perform efficient heap-spray in memory and/or to bypass the built-in mitigations of Windows Vista and 7 such as DEP and ASLR.” However, users can further reduce the risk of a successful attack by updating their Java version from Java 6 to 7.

SEP Proactive Threat Protection Defintion is not updating

Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 (SEP 11) includes a feature called Proactive Threat Protection, which seeks out suspicious behavior on your computer, and isolates it. Since brand new viruses may not always be immediately detected by antivirus software, Proactive Threat Protection is a good barrier against the unknown.

Unfortunately, sometimes have noticed that their Proactive Threat Protection defitions are stuck or not update day by day.

Solution:
Delete the string value “Sequence Number” under the following registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\COH_PVLInfo\COHData

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\COH_PVLInfo\COHEngine

Exit the registry and restart your system.

IF problem not solve, then try this one:

Modify the value of the following DWORD registry entry to 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\LiveUpdate\SyknappsContentListReady

Note: If this registry entry does not exist on the client, create the entry and set it to the value above

Run command : smc -stop
smc -start

or Reboot the system.
