Outlook - Mailbox Full Message after storage quota increased (or removed)

I recently experienced an issue where multiple users for a mailbox were getting a "mailbox full" message in Outlook. When the message first appeared, I removed the storage quota on the mailbox, but after a server restart (and of course restarting the outlook clients), they were still getting prompted with the same message.

The solution ended up being to remove the .ost file for this particular mailbox (default location is %localappdata\Microsoft\Outlook) and then restarting the Outlook client (you will need to close Outlook before it will let you delete the .ost file)

The .ost file will automatically be re-created when Outlook is opened, and mail will then be downloaded back into the .ost file from the server.

Exchange 2010 New Install - Nothing Showing Under Microsoft Exchange On-Premises

After installing Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 onto a Windows Server 2012 R2, nothing was showing under the Exchange Management Console after expanding "Microsoft Exchange On-Premises".

Everything under "Exchange 2010 Organizational Health" was showing as "Unavailable"



When selecting the option to "Collect Organizational Health Data", the below error occurs stating "MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unload it"



To resolve this issue you need to install the latest Service Pack (SP3) for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 - available from the following URL:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36768

You can then install Update Rollup 14 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP3 from the following URL:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=820579

As you can see below, once SP3 has been installed, the Configuration options are now available/showing under "Microsoft Exchange On-Premises" after the updates are installed
