Environment: Office 365 online. Exchange v15.1.933.16.

One of our global administrators performed a remote wipe on a mobile device via the exchange admin centre, and then 'deleted' the device from the EAC. As a result, it is no longer possible to determine in the GUI if the wipe was successful.

Anyone familiar with the cmdlet to check the status of a wipe command? Couldn't find anything with my search so far. Thanks

Edit: Thanks BasitanW, however I should have more clearly indicated that the admin deleted the device after requesting the wipe. No devices are visible in the Exchange Admin Centre, and the Get-MobileDevice command fails to produce a result for this mailbox in PS.

Environment: Office 365 online. Version 15.1.933.16 (2016 CU4?)

We intend on placing a litigation hold on a users mailbox. Prior to placing the hold, I'd like to check if there is any way the user will find out the hold is is in effect. The intent is for them to use their mailbox as usual, but with an indefinite retention strategy.

They are an ordinary user with no special permissions. Cannot use Power-Shell, no access to admin tools. Thanks!

I have a question about our Exchange Server: Do you think it is a good idea to refuse incoming external e-mails that have our own domain in the ending?

Like external eMail from [email protected]?

Because if it would be from a real sender in our company, the email would never come from outside?

If yes, what's the best way of doing this?

I would've thought I already knew this answer. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

I have a need to run a local script on a CAS server that would in turn utilize the Active Directory cmdlets. I need to install the RSAT tools for AD (rsat-adds) in order to accomplish this.

In the past versions of Exchange I always put these tools on the servers, but I can't find anything saying whether I should or shouldn't on an Exchange 2013 CAS. I know it is a pre-req for Exchange to function to prep the domain so in the past I've installed it on the Exchange 2010 servers to prep the domain, but wasn't sure if something changed in Exchange 2013 where it was recommended to not install it on a CAS sever.

I have the RSAT tools on our mailbox servers, but not on our CAS servers currently.

So, can I install the RSAT tools for AD on an Exchange 2013 CAS with no concerns?

I'm trying to understand the risk of updating the schema of a very large AD forest, where the schema has not been on every DC, and then an object that uses that schema object is replicated

An example is Lync setup, where it requires a schema change, and also a subsequent forest-prep that uses the aforementioned objects.

Is it possible, and what would happen if the forest-prep data arrived first at an out of date DC before the schema?

Would this be a permanent error, or is there a retry/queue for these types of updates?
