Hi

We have to work on a Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 upgrade assignment. The existing environment consists of following infrastructure elements:

1. Exchange 2007 with Unified Messaging

2. Lync 2010

3. Sharepoint

4. Windows AD RMS

Before anything else, we need to evaluating the impact of Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 upgrade on the Lync, Sharepoint, RMS and UM functionalities, which are integrated with Exchange 2007 environment.

Any reference links/DOCs or suggestions based on experience from community are welcome.

Thanks

Exchange 2013 - CA certificate - internal and external domain

Please advise on this:

We have have an internal domain xyz.lan and external domain abc.net. The exchange servers FQDN is ec1.xyz.lan and is set up to use mail.abc.net for outlook anywhere. We have a few additional accepted domains e.g def.net configured. All mailboxes have the xyz.lan domain configured by default as an alias.

Internally things work fine but we have reached the point where we need external access configured, especially for ActiveSync. Thus we are looking at getting a CA certificate. We need these different domains to work, but I'm unsure what all to include in the certificate because of the internal and external domains being different. Additionally it now seems to be a problem to register internal domains by using a CA. Can one somehow get the certificate to additionally work with Lync as well?

All advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

Getting extremely frustrated now with a new Exchange 2013 installation on a Windows Server 2012 VM...

After having a lot of problems with the installation (didn't uninstall visual c++ which caused failure, then needed to delete the AD Microsoft Exchange System Objects group due to permission failures, etc) I've now got a fully installed Exchange server. Still, now I cannot figure out how to fix my next problem - Accessing the EAC/ECP.

I've searched every possible web guide/forum thread and the only one which is the same issue I'm having is this one: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/89c42771-78c9-4d94-88e5-557320eccc71 

Unfortunately, as you can see in that thread, it is still unresolved. 

Current Issue: trying to access https://localhost/ecp (or any other variation) returns a 404 Not Found.

The error page points the physical path to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ecp however that folder does not exist. I have tried manually changing the IIS site (Exchange Back End) to point its physical path to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\ecp which seems to be valid, however it doesn't work...

Not sure what else to do... HELP!

Hi,

Hope someone can help, was just wondering if there were any tipe for setting up and securing Outlook Anywhere on a Single Exchange Server?  Are the steps for setting up just the same and are there any extra steps that may need to be carried out to secure the access if it is running on a single server?

Thanks,

I know there isn't a migration path for Exchange 2003 but has anyone tried any type of work around?  I'm thinking about moving one of my customers users mailboxes to PST files and them importing them into Exchange 2013 on a 2012 server.  Has anyone had any experience doing this?  Below are the details of what I have and what I was thinking about doing:

Small Network - approx. 10 users

Server 2003 Sp3 standalone AD DC with Exchange 2003

Would like to move straight to Server 2012 with Exchange 2013

If I export the mailboxes and uninstall Exchange from the 2003 server will Server 2012 join the domain and upgrade the existing AD schema (forest and domain)?  If it would, could I then install Exchange 2013 on that server, create the mailboxes for the users and import the PST files?

Just wondering if anyone has tried this, or something similar.  They don't have an extra server to move everything to 2010 first so it's either a workaround or move them to Exchange 2010 (which Microsoft has quit selling).  I'm sure this will put a lot of small business VARs in a bad situation. 

(Just as a side note) Is it true that Dell and HP have quit selling Windows 7 Pro? My vendor still sells it and will for 18 more months.

Hi,

We are currently running Exchange 2007 and have recently installed Exchange 2013. Up until this point we have had no Exchange services published externally via ISA/TMG.

The 2013 server is now installed and we have pointed our internal autodiscover.contoso.com record to the 2013 CAS so far so good. We have also created a legacy.contoso.com internal A record to point to the Exchange 2007 CAS.

Our ultimate goal will be to enable Exchange hybrid /365 and with that in mind we have bought a public certificate with mail.contoso.com and legacy.contoso.com as SAN.

I've also Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory internal and external urls to legacy.contoso.com

My question now is what to do with the new cert that we've installed on the 2013 CAS. Does this also need installing on the 2007 CAS for legacy to work ? If so do I just import-exchangecertificate on the 2007 CAS and if so to what services ?

Thanks

Fatal error  toomanylargeitemspermanentexception.

I have 20 GB of Public Folders to move. This is my script.

Exchange on-premise Migration.

New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -SourceDatabase (Get-PublicFolderDatabase -ServerEX2010) -CSVData (Get-Content C:\PF-Import-File\PFFolder2Mailbox.csv -Encoding Byte) -AcceptLargeDataLoss -BadItemLimit 40000

No matter what I try I get to 95 % and fail. I have broken it into several Mailbox Folders, changed bad -item limit, etc.

I cannot find the large files in public folders because there are too many of them. I assume I must remove the items larger than 35mg before I can successfully move the PF's.

Is there a way to increase this limit or a script I can run that will tell me the large items in Public folders?

Hi

I am wanting to upgrade our Exchange 2010 SP1 servers to Exchange 2010 SP3 inc. RU1

The primary environment consists of 1 CAS server, 1 HUB server and 1 MBX server.

The Disaster Recovery site consists of a multi-role server that houses all roles (CAS/HUB/MBX)

There is a DAG setup between the MBX servers, cross site. I have configured all the settings to disable auto failover of databases as the DAG is setup purely for DR not HA.

My query is, if when installing SP3 and RU1 I am happy for there to be down time in the primary site (i.e no Outlook access), do I need to run any of the DAG prep scripts? As a lot of what they do is already done to prevent auto failover.

My plan

• Run ADPREP - wait for replication
• Suspend the database copy
• Complete the SP3 and RU1 updates at the DR site first as I am lead to believe SP1 and SP3 can coexist.
• Resume the database copies to ensure replication works
• Backup CAS/HUB using Veeam
• Test restore using Instant Recovery
• Install SP3 and RU on CAS/HUB servers
• Suspend Database copy
• Shutdown MBX server and backup using Veeam
• Test restore using Instant Recovery
• Install SP3 and RU1 on MBX server
• resume database copy
• Complete testing

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Hi all,

Currently i am trying to setup exchange 2013 into coexist exchange server 2007. The setup has completed successfully, so does mailbox migration test from 2007 database to 2013 database.

My questions is, when i accessing 2013 ECP, select Server Menu, i can see the coexist 2007 server along with 2013 server, but on database tab, there are only databases belong to 2013. The user from 2007 database cannot access his mailbox from 2013 OWA.

My questions are:

1. Is it normal, that 2013 ECP will not listed the 2007 database? If not, what are the configurations i have missed?

2. If it is normal, then let say that i would like to do mailbox migration gradually (because it will take very long downtime to migrate a bunch of mailbox), how user can still access mail.domain.com from outside organization and the 2013 CAS will understand whether this user's belong to 2013 mailbox (user has been migrated) or 2007 mailbox (user that has not been migrated)?

Thanks.

Trying to create a migration batch as the following:

New-Migration Batch -Local -Name Batch1 -CSVData([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("<csv file path>")) -TargetDatabase <database name> 

Gives me the following error:

The operation couldn't be performed because object 'Batch1' coulnd't be found on Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.MailboxSession

+ CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (Batch1:MigrationBatchID) [New-MigrationBatch], ManagementObjectNotFoundException

+ FulllyQualifiedErrorID : 2BCEC4B6 ,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Migration.NewMigrationBatch

+PSComputerName: <Ex2013 server name>

 When I try submitting the batch using ECP, it shows the same error the first time. I click ok on the error message and click "New" again to try submitting the batch again, then it says "Error: The migration batch 'Batch1' already exists.

So I run Get-moverequest | where-object {$_.BatchName -eq "Batch1"} or Get-moverequest | where-object {$_.BatchName -eq "MigrationService:Batch1"}, it shows no moverequest that has "Batch1" as batch name. The ECP does not show any batch created under migration.

If I create individual move request (New-MoveRequest), mailbox migration works fine. But it's just submitting a batch that seems out of order...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I looked in my AD using adsiedit to verify the object versions before applying the 2010 SP3 schema and see
- rangeupper - 14726
- Forest Object Version - 13214
- Domain Object Version - 13040

Looking at the version number that would indicate the 2010 SP3 schema has been applied, I see that the domain object version number is the same, 13040.
Since this number is already valid, can I skip the "setup /preparedomain:<--->" portion of the schema update?

Good Morning Ladies and Gentleman,

I have an issue with my Exchange Server and I believe it is caused because of a Disjoint Namespace.  I am not 100% sure if this is the case though.  My current setup is that the Exchange 2013 server is going to be part of a child domain, all the servers and computers that connect to the server will be part of this child domain.

What I believe my issue is, is my www domain which will be pointing to the exchange server is different than my active directory domain.  So I have something like child.addomain.com which is different than my mail.wwwdomain.com or my owa.wwwdomain.com 

I am not sure if this qualifies as a disjoint namespace or not though?  If it does how do I resolve this issue do I need to re-install Exchange from scratch?  I tried doing the disjoint namespace steps listed on the Deployment Assistant but all this did was make it so my server no longer sends or receives emails and my clients are no longer able to connect.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Johnathan

We are currently running Exchange 2010 SP2. Anyway, when I open the Exchange Management Console and click Server Configuration it shows all of our servers are running Exchange Version 14.2 (Build 247.5) except for one of the mailbox servers. For that server it shows Version 14.1 (Build 218.15)     (Indicating it has SP1 on it).


When I go to that server, it shows Update Rollup 6 for SP2 is installed. Additionally I compared the version for the store.exe for the two mailbox servers and they both match (14.2.342.2). I'm guessing Active Directory has the wrong version listed for this server. Is there a safe way to update it? Thanks!

I've been waiting on installing Exchange 2010 SP2 rollup 6 because I don't seem to have any of the issues fixed in RU6.  I've been successfully running RU5.2 since January (mail site is stable).  I've already installed the security patches in that rollup via windows update and I'm concerned about the 'soft-delete' user issue reported in that rollup. 

My question - should I install RU6 now that I have a window to do it or wait for a possible RU7 (future window). 

I have no plans at this time of moving to SP3 (but probably will in 1Q-2014 before support for SP2 ends), but would that be a better option now that RU1 has been released for it? (Note:  I don't need interoperability with E2K13 because that is not even in the planning at this point).
