how to configure the “Replicating directory changes” for SharePoint 2013 via AD

How to configure the "Replicating directory changes" for SharePoint 2013 via AD

I can guide you in this matter by providing you with a reference and key points that may help you in your issue.

note that delegation to grant Directory Changes permission on a domain should be done on Root Domain level. The Replicate Directory Changes permission enables the synchronization account to read AD DS objects and to discover AD DS objects that have been changed in the domain. The Grant Replicate Directory Changes permission does not enable an account to create, modify or delete AD DS objects.

Unable to activate RDS

Activate RDS

SYMPTOM:
    • Unable to activate RDS.
    • A balloon pops-up stating that ‘terminal service (remote desktop services) will stop working’ on the activated server as seen below.
    •  Licensing manager window we can see two entries related to total licenses (see the screenshot). This was mistakenly entered. So, please guide us to remove one entry. We need to modify the current entry and retain atleast 105 license instead of multiple license related entries.


RESOLUTION
Reconfigured the RDS and use Edit Deployment task to assign the License Server.

Some new users are unable to see public folders - Server: Exchange 2013 - Client: Outlook 2013


SYMPTOM:
Outlook Public Folder Not Showing for some recently created users even after appropriate permissions were set via ECP

I would like to share the engagement which we had with Premier Microsoft Support to resolve the reported issue.

ENVIRONMENT: Exchange 2013 and Outlook Client 2013

CAUSE:
New users were assigned to wrong “DefaultPublicFolderMailbox”

RESOLUTION:
Executed the following command to change DefaultPublicFolderMailbox to the working Public Folder Mailbox for affected users.
            Set-Mailbox -Identity testpf1@qfcra.com -DefaultPublicFolderMailbox "qdfcra.com\users\All Public Folders"

To check to the default public folder mailbox of the user who can view public folder, output to a file:
Get-Mailbox -Identity usermailboxname (or usermailbox fqdn) | fl > publicfolder_visible.txt

To check to the default public folder mailbox of the user who cannot view public folder, output to a file:

Get-Mailbox -Identity usermailboxname (or usermailbox fqdn) | fl > publicfolder_notvisible.txt

ex: Get-Mailbox -Identity myname@myname.com | fl > c:\publicfolder_visible.txt

Open myname.txt and search for public folder and check the DefaultPublicFolderMailbox and compare to the mailbox users who already can view/ or has a functional public folder

Now set the user's DefaultPublicFolderMailbox whose public folder isn't visible to the user's DefaultPublicFolderMailbox identified from above process whose public folder is visible

Set-Mailbox -Identity TestPF1qfcra.com -DefaultPublicFolderMailbox "myname.COM/Users/All Public Folders"
