Move mailbox from 2010 to 2013, and then back to 2010 - cant then migrate to 2013 again!

$
0
0

Sorry for the long title, but I cant think of any other way of putting it. 

We are testing an Exchange 2010 - 2013 upgrade/migration and as part of the testing we migrated a mailbox from 2010 to 2013, and then moved it back to 2010 again - for testing purposes. Now, when we try and migrate it back from 2010 to 2013 we can select it, initiate the job, but within a couple of seconds the number of mailboxes to move drops to 0 (zero) and then the job completes, with no errors at all, but the mailbox is still on the 2010 Information Store.

Now, we dont plan on doing this but is this unique to use, or is this a bug/feature? Exchange 2010 is at SP3 with UR8MK2, and Exchange 2013 is with SP1/UR8.

Thanks

Phil

Cannot directly book a resource for this meeting after Exchange2007 to Exchange2013 migration

$

Hi,

I’ve migrated a customer from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 successfully. However. There are troubles with booking resources. Users receive the following error message when booking a resource: Direct Booking – Cannot directly book a resource for this meeting.

The user follows the following procedure:
The user opens his/her ‘own agenda’, create a meeting, use Scheduling Assistant to schedule a meeting with another user and to add a Room. When hitting Send the above message appears.

When the user has Full Control to the resource mailbox and the user opens the agenda of the resource directly and follows the above procedure in the ‘resource agenda’ he/she is able to book the resource without a problem (this workaround is not preferred as a final solution).

To fix this, I’ve tried the following:

Add a registry key to the client. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar\EnableDirectBooking (0)

Turn cache mode ON, this works.
However for some users cache mode must be turned off, so this workaround doesn’t apply for all the users.

I worked with Full Control permissions on the resource, so that the user is able to book directly from the ‘resource agenda’.

Some more information:
Public Folders are not in use anymore.
There are several clients in the environment:
Windows XP with Outlook 2007
Windows 7 with Outlook 2007
Windows 7 with Outlook 2010  (I do not have a confirmation if these symptoms also apply on these clients as well).

Does anyone has a final solution for me?
Or how can I troubleshoot this any further?

Thanks in advance,
Yuri

Exchange 2013wSp1 Install

We have a test environment which was 2008R2 AD.  We properly went through the migration path and are currently at 2012R2 Active Directory functional level.

I'm installing Exchange 2013 with Sp1 into the domain.  I have successfully prepared the domain as outlined on technet, and verified its success with the logs and looking in ADSI edit.  No errors.  All seems to have ran correctly.

When I attempt to install the first exchange mailbox server, the Readiness check fails saying "the local domain needs to be prepared using Setup /PrepareDomain before server roles can be installed"...  1 forest, 1 root domain, 1 child domain. The account I'm using is a member of Schema Admins, Enterprise Admins, Domain admins etc.  

Has anyone else come across this or have any suggestions?

Running Exchange 2007 server in unsynchronized RU levels

We have Exchange 2013 with legacy 2007/2010. My 2007 servers are at RU10. one of my sites has a need to replace their edge server and wants to install a 2013 edge server, but the internal 2007 hub server will require RU13 to communicate with the 2013 edge.

Will updating that single hub server to RU10, and leaving the rest of my 2007 environment at RUY10 cause issues?

Exchange 2013 Hybrid Deployment issues.

$
0
0

Hello.

i have an issue when configuring Exchange hybrid deployment in my environment.

when i complete the Exchange hybrid wizard and OAuth is finished our exchange environment will not receive emails from the "internet" as in senders outside the company.

mail will can be sent out and will flow between internal users.

when i check the message trace on 365 the emails were failing with the following error.

Users were also getting a bounce back saying 

Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 5.4.1 [user@domain.com]: Recipient address rejected: Access denied

i wondered if it had anything to do with the MX record on our public DNS, i changed this to the one recommended by O365 domain DNS assistant, but this made no odds,

it looks like it could be a receive connector issue however i am new to exchange so i am still learning.

the only way to fix the issue was to run Remove-Hybridconfiguration on the Exchange 2013 server, when this finished and few moments had passed mail began being received from the internal again.

Any Suggestions on what could be caused 

many thanks

Establish mail flow from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

I am currently using Exchange 2007 into three sites in three cities and two of the sites are connected to Internet sending and receiving emails via Edge transport servers.

Now I am planning to upgrade to exchange 2013 CU1. I don't find any documentation on how to establish mail flow between Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013. Will it be automatic or do i need to create specific connectors between them?

How can we migrate users from exchange server 2010 to new exchange server 2013. The two exchange environments are different. Once we installed new exchange server 2013, how do we import all exchange 2010 users mails into new exchange 2013.

Exchange 2013 Install in environment with Exchange 2010 SP3 - Recieving

I'm attempting to Configure Exchange 2013 on a fresh Win Server 2012 VM, in a domain that's currently using Exchange 2010.  I've got SP3, the various service packs and language packs, per the MS prerequisite suggestions.  The install runs through and ultimately fails during the User Mailbox creation (error message below).  

The support articles I've found indicate that removing the Arbitration accounts (FederationEmail, DiscoverySearchMailbox, HealthMailbox, Migration, SystemMailbox), with Powershell and then ultimately removing from AD.  
The proceed with the 2013 install and things should work.  Will this interfere, in any way, with my production Exchange 2010 box?

And secondly, is the appropriate route to resolve the 2013 setup/install?

Error moving mailboxes - MigrationTransientException hr=0x80004005

We have an odd issue when trying to move mailboxes to Databases with Exchange 2013 Build 847.32 on all servers affected. 

We have 2013 successfully deployed within the UK (3 servers, with a DAG) we are looking to deploy an additional 2 servers in the US across an MPLS WAN. The US has it's own DAG in the US and its own MAPI network (this MAPI network is tested routable to the UK) DAG own replication network not routable, and simply a cross over...

The Migration Arbitration mailbox is located within the UK DAG, it exists as do the other Arbitration mailboxes and everything works fine moving mailboxes across DBs in the UK...

As soon as I try and move a mailbox in the US between the two server (or even on the same server within the US) it comes up with the following error after about 20mins: Worth stressing that all migration within the UK DAG work perfectly fine... 

Error:MigrationTransientException: Failed to communicate with the mailbox database. --> Failed to communicate with the mailbox database. --> MapiExceptionMdbOffline: Unable to make connection to the server. ‎(hr=0x80004005, ec=1142)‎ Diagnostic context: Lid: 41192 dwParam: 0x1 Lid: 63464 Lid: 34792 StoreEc: 0x6AB Lid: 51176 StoreEc: 0x80040115 Lid: 48104 Lid: 39912 StoreEc: 0x80040115 Lid: 41192 dwParam: 0x2 Lid: 55272 Lid: 34792 StoreEc: 0x6BE Lid: 51176 StoreEc: 0x80040115 Lid: 48104 Lid: 39912 StoreEc: 0x80040115 Lid: 41192 dwParam: 0x0 Lid: 49064 dwParam: 0x1 Lid: 37288 StoreEc: 0x6AB Lid: 49064 dwParam: 0x2 Lid: 38439 EMSMDBPOOL.EcPoolConnect called [length=48] Lid: 54823 EMSMDBPOOL.EcPoolConnect returned [ec=0x476][length=20][latency=796] Lid: 53361 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 51859 Lid: 33649 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 43315 Lid: 58225 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 39912 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 54129 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 50519 Lid: 59735 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 59199 Lid: 27356 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 65279 Lid: 52465 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 60065 Lid: 33777 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 59805 Lid: 52487 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 19778 Lid: 27970 StoreEc: 0x476 Lid: 17730 Lid: 25922 StoreEc: 0x476

I assume this is looking for the Migration Arbitration mailbox in the UK, across the WAN and is failing but all other features seem to work fine... In fact if I try to migrate using the Shell on a US server, it works fine so this seems to be limited to the Console...

WAN connectivity is fine, I have done a TCP any any on the ASAs to make sure there is full communication and everything else works fine... 

Any ideas as to why it seems to be failing to see the Arbitration mailbox? I t is also worth mentioning I have re-run the ADPREP /Alldomains to ensure there is no corruption within the Arbitration mailboxes...

I have probably missed something very simple somewhere but for the life of me can't think where... 

Any help gratefully received... 

   

delete email prior to ex2013 migration

I am migrating to exchange 2013 from ex2007sp3.  Prior to moving mailboxes to the ex13 server, I have been tasked with deleting messages from the Exch2007sp3 database older than 90 days. 

This is my pshell cmd so far:

Get-Mailbox -Database "private information store" | Export-Mailbox -EndDate “1/1/2015” -ExcludeFolders "\Calendar" -DeleteContent -BadItemLimit 100

I plan to change the Delete Item Retention to 0 days so that the messages are truly gone.

Does anyone have a better suggestion?

 Thanks

2007 to 2013 Migration with Outlook Anywhere Basic Authentication

$
0
0

I am in the process of testing Exchange 2007 to 2013 migration. I have a question regarding Outlook Anywhere settings on Exchange 2013.  Sorry for the long post, question is at bottom.

My current Exchange 2007 server is setup to use Basic Authentication for Outlook Anywhere.  I have many domain joined laptops that frequently leave the internal network.  I have ISA 2006 setup to proxy Outlook anywhere and it works great; when the laptop is on the internal network, Outlook connects via RPC and NTLM as expected.  When the laptop is outside the network, Outlook connects via ISA 2006 using Basic authentication.

I have a Kemp Load Balancer setup to proxy the new Exchange 2013 server, the kemp balancer does handle pre-authentication (basic) just like the ISA 2006 server does.

I am now at the point where Exchange 2013 is installed in the environment and configured (URLs, certificates, DB's, etc).  I have not started to configure co-existence yet so all DNS still points to the Exchange 2007 server.  What I have done though is tested Exchange 2013 creating a mailbox on 2013 and tested operation by modifying HOST file on a client to point to the new Exchange 2013 server.  Outlook 2007 connects successfully to the Exchange 2013 account. 

However, this is where I run into the issue: When I change the HOST file of the test client to point to the Kemp Load Balancer to test operation, Outlook will no longer connect, but instead will provide an endless password prompt!  So I look at the Outlook 2007 Outlook Anywhere settings and it has the Proxy Authentication settings set to NTLM and not basic which explains the issue.  If I change to basic, Outlook can then connect just fine through the Kemp Proxy.

But of course once I simulate the client being back on the internal network by changing the HOST file back to point to the Exchange 2013 server, autodiscover then changes the Outlook Proxy Authentication type back to NTLM!  I would then have to manually change back to Basic when not on the internal network!

TLDR:

My question is this:  How can I setup Exchange 2013 Outlook Anywhere to use NTLM inside the network and Basic Outside the network like is done in Exchange 2007?  Or can you only use one authentication method?

What is confusing me is I can see an Internal Authentication method and an External Auth method in Exchange 2013 outlook anywhere settings but it looks like I can only change External Authentication method.  Outlook 2007 configures itself via Autodiscover to use the Internal settings. 

thanks

Exchange 2013 CU8 upgrade - Setup problem

Hello everybody,

I'm upgrading from Exchange CU7 to CU8, I got a DAG with two servers.

I did an upgrade friday of the first server of the DAG : no problem, it works well.

I tried to upgrade my second server this morning and I'm blocked during the installation : "Step 8 of 17 : Languages", it's at 0% for about 1h now.

What could be the problem and the step to do in order to fix this ? Or have I just to wait ?

Thanks,
