Some Mails Getting Converted to Chinese Characters

Some Emails in Outlook 2016 will Convert to Chinese Characters after reading some after archiving using enterprise vault. We had this issue on a specific set of emails and not all all emails or all domains. Then we found that the issue with the specific exclaimer signature which was imported from a different instance which is a lower version of it. We deleted the exclaimer signature and recreated from scratch and issue never re appeared after that.

if your email is stamped or altered with any signature software . Try to remove it and see if issue appears to happen or not.

Solution –

Made sure Exchange Server 2016 is running latest Cumulative Update.

In my case – Hybrid server lost only outbound internet to retrieve federation information as my internet proxy IPs changed. Rest all 443 traffic was working.

Get-Federationinformation -domainname azure365pro.onmicrosoft.com

Make sure your hybrid server can retrieve federation information whichever server serving your autodiscover requests specifically.

I waited for only 30 minutes. it didn’t work. Re ran hybrid configuration. It picked up instantly. I don’t think we need to re run hybrid. I should have waited a bit longer.
