The community script Copy-ReceiveConnector has been updated. Receive Connectors that do exist on a specified target server can now be updated.
Besides the receive connector communication the assigned permissions of the source connector can be copied as well.

When you use Symantec NetBackup 7.x you might encounter Error 5, when you try to restore an Exchange Server 2013 DAG mailbox database backup to a Recovery database or to the original datrabase.
The error message in Backup, Archive, and Restore Tool looks similar to this
Enabling NetBackup debug logging by using the mklogdir.bat file located in C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\logs does not necessarily provide additional input. The restore job fails before entering the job section for local restore activities. So no TAR log is being created.
When following the NetBackup Admin Guide and several Symantec HowTo’s you have already configured the following two services to run using a dedicated Service Account
There are some circumstances (not clearly defined by Symantec) when an additional NetBackup Service performs Exchange PowerShell commands as part of a restore process. Therefore the following NetBackup service must be configured to run using the same Service Account as the other two NetBackup services.
In addition be aware that the Service Account required Debug permission on the Exchange Server. It might be helpful to propagate the permissions for the Service Account using a GPO.
Given Microsoft’s success in building Exchange Online running on its Office 365 cloud platform, it has undoubtedly learned a few valuable lessons that can be applied to on-premises deployments.
In this whitepaper, ENow board member and Microsoft Exchange MVP Tony Redmond reveals how standardization, automation and monitoring played into Microsoft’s success with scaling its platform.

Exchange and other MTAs use DSNs (Delivery Status Notifications) and NDRs (Non Delivery Reports) to notify the sender or sending MTAs (Message Transfer Agents aka Mail Servers) about the varioius statuses of a given email message. In Exchange those messages are generated primarily by the categorizer component of the transport service.
You can use the New-SystemMessage cmdlet to create new messages. These messages can even be localized and can contain Html tags for properly styled notifications.
From a system perspective the various notifications used are named and fulfill a specific purpose.
Report and receipt types (Exchange Version independent) used for notification
Report confirming that a message was delivered to its intended recipient
Delivery Status Notification (DSN) Report describing the result of an attempt to deliver a message
Message disposition Notification (MDN) Report describing the status of a message after it has been successfully delivered to a recipient. Examples: read notification (RN) or non-read notification (NRN) Defined by RFC 2298 and controlled by Disposition-Notification-To header
Non-Delivery Report (NDR) Report indicating to the message sender that the message could not be delivered to the intended recipients
Non-Read Notification (NRN) Report indicating that a message was deleted before is was read, when a read receipt was requested
Out Of Office/Facility (OOF) Report indicating that the recipient will not respond to a new message OF referes to the Microsoft original term „out of facility“
Read Notification (RN) Report indicating that a message was read
Recall Report (RR) Report indicating the status of a recall request for a specific recispient A recall request is used when a sender tries to recall a sent message by using Outlook
