Finding an SMTP (email) address on an exchange server

Source: http://forums.msexchange.org/Finding_an_SMTP_address/m_1800404407/tm.htm


Hi :) 

You can use Active Directory Users & Computers to find it. 

1. Open ADUC (dsa.msc), click View and enable Advanced Features. 

2. Find the object called Microsoft Exchange System Objects and select it. This object contains a list of your public folders. 

3. Click the View menu again and click Add/Remove Columns 

4. Add the E-mail Address column, click OK and re-navigate to the Microsoft Exchange System Objects object. 

HTH!

Event ID 8003 - The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_

Thank you, Rob Morin, for the solution..

Another way to fix this, rather than stopping/disabling the Computer Browser Service is to unbind NetBIOS from Tcp on each of the interfaces. To find out which interfaces are bound, type 'BROWSTAT.EXE DN' at a command prompt - this will list the interfaces such as 'DeviceNetBT_Tcpip_{7B935...' as displayed in your System Event Log. Steps to disable NetBIOS over TCP:
1) Open Network Connections in the Control Panel
2) Open the Properties dialog for any interface
3) If TCP/IP is checked, select it and click 'Properties'. (If it is not checked, click 'Cancel' - this interface does not have tcp/ip bound)
4) Click the 'Advanced' button
5) On the 'WINS' tab, select the radio button for 'Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP'
6) Click OK, OK, then Close

If you run BROWSTAT.EXE DN again, the list of interfaces should be one less now. Keep doing this for each interface in the list and you will eliminate all of these MRxSMB messages.

This can also be disabled using DHCP options if you are using DHCP on your network. Just be careful when you have legacy and non-Windoze boxes that need WINS to connect to the network.

Bharat's article is what I've used numerous times.

Just do a Get-exchangeCertificate | FL

Then with what youve provided you just highlight the SMTP cert
Thumbprint : 15405C99D3837CFF0DD2EA0213DAD6A241B

and then type out

Get-ExchangeCertificate -thumbprint “15405C99D3837CFF0DD2EA0213DAD6A241B” | New-ExchangeCertificate

then just bounce the microsoft exchange transport service.
