When I was uninstalling Exchange 2013 the setup failed with the below error messages.  If I try to run setup from the DVD or from installed programs it fails straight away.  How can I tidy up the system so that I can re-install Exchange back onto the system?

Hi,

Today I planned to install CU2 update On my Exchange Server 2013. I already have CU 1 installed.

Everything was running perfect before running installation. Suddenly, installation of CU2 has failed and mail flow has stopped. I restarted the exchange server several time even restarted all the exchange services manually but no luck.

Now, Even Exchange transport service is not starting. I have tried it to set "Delay Restart" and restarted the server but no luck.

Everything is stopped now and I am afraid how to restore it back. I think installing CU2 has messed up everything.

I need very urgent help as nothing is working.

Looking for a quick answer...

Thanks in Advance!!

Thanks, Manoj

I have almost completed my migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013.   all the user mailboxes have been moved and Public Folders have been migrated.   I have 3 MSExchange Mailboxes remaining.  Microsoft Exchange  MSExchDiscoveryGUID@emaildomain; Microsoft Exchange Approval Assistant FederatedEmail.GUID@emaildomain; Microsoft Exchange Approval Assistant MSExchApprovalGUID@emaildomain

I don't know if they should move to my Exchange 2013 server or not.

(configuration is Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013 in hybrid with Office 365).

Can someone shed some light on these remaining 3 Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes.

Thank you

Fred Zilz

I am trying to install the roll up but it is failing, I have looked for previous rollups but I can nothing in Programs and Features. I have tried downloading the update separately but this also fails. This is a new build SBS 2011.

Thanks

I have an Exchange 2010 server which has database and logs stored on individual volumes which are accessed by mount points on C drive rather than using drive letters.

This is causing me some headaches with some backup software so I would like to change the server so that the database and logs are accessed via drive letters instead

I have added the drive letters already and since I don't want to physically move the files (only change the method by which they are accessed) I intend to use the Shell to run:

move-DatabasePath -Identity 'Mailbox Database 1428725388' -EdbFilePath 'G:\Exchange Database\Mailbox Database 1428725388.edb' -LogFolderPath 'F:\Mailbox Database 1428725388' -ConfigurationOnly

which should update the configuration only to point at the equivalent paths using drive letters.

I have a couple of questions on this:

1. Regarding the Logfolderpath, does this need the full path to where the log files are stored? I seem to remember that a subdirectory with the name of the database gets created automatically below whatever path is specified so should I use -LogFolderPath 'F:\Mailbox Database 1428725388' or -LogFolderPath 'F:\' for a change of path operation? If I get this wrong does the shell just fail the job or do I end up with a LogFolderPath configured to a folder which does not actually contain my logs?

2. When using EMC to move database paths, one is prompted by the GUI to dismount the store. Should I do this manually when using the shell and should I halt any services prior to undertaking this?

Hoping somebody has done this and can advise

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

Exchange 2013

If I have two sites and both sites have CAS servers (externally for OWA too one is mail.mycompany.con and another is mail1.mycompany.com), should I purchase SAN certificate with two subjective names?

Thank you.

Hi,

Is any way to create trusted certificate request, and purchase it in GoDaddy without exchange server installed in the network and then after a while install it?

I realize it may seems ridiculous but I have reason to do this way.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I have the following setup:

new domain: test.local

complete new domain with new user accounts has contact with the old via trust relationship.

old domain: company.local

Has 2003 Server OS and Exchange 2003 installed on it.

Our It manager wants to setup a way that all mail is deliverd to the old and the new mail server.

The already existing mail will be imported via a tool or simply exporting via pst.

The reason they want this that they want to be able to fall backup to the old exchange if something goes wrong.

And to be able to migrate user account per account (small company) and see if anything goes otherwise wrong.

Is this possible and without downtime and other issues?

Kind regards

Jo

Hello

i am trying to install exchange 2013 in a small test domain. My exchange 2010 is not healthy anymore. The pre-requisits check denys the installation of exchange 2013 because there was an exchange 2010 without sp3 in the domain.

The old exchange with all exchange security groups have benn deleted in the active directory. What else do I have to do for a new installation ofd exchange 2013?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Sam

I have anExchange 2007server withallroles on thesame server.Ihave now installedtwoExchange2013serverswith both with CASandMBXroles.There is also aDAGbetweenthe new servers.AllmailgoesthroughaBorderWarebesidesthe internalmail.

Ican send mailfromboth environmentsto the Internet.I canalsosend internalmail fromExchange 2007to Exchange 2013.But the problemis that I am unable tosendfromExchange 2007to Exchange2013.I'vedebugged,but notsolved the problem andthere are fewarticleson the Internet.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

perhaps I'm missing something which someone can point me to the right pages for clarification.

When I add a the SPECint2006 Rate Value figures the calculator is defaulting to 3 CAS servers. Dropping the users down to 3 users gives the same number of servers. Appreciate we need some fault tolerance but 3 servers seems a lot too much

hopefully someone can link a good site to assist in sizing & HA

thanks one and all

Trying to get test mailboxes moved to 2013 CU2 from 2007

They hang on syncing in the batch job and dont finish.

We just patched and resovled another error using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2879739 

there is 1 mailbox on 2013 and it can send/receive properly with 2007 both internal/external and it can view the 2007 PF structure.

It does not error out, it simply does nothing but sit and sync. These are empyt mailboxes.

Thanks, Grady Vogt

Environment has 2 domains, one "Root" domain and one "child" domain

root.com

ad.root.com

I have installed Exchange Server 2013 CU2 on 5 servers. 3 Mailbox roll servers and 2 CAS.  I've followed the prereqs for preparing AD on the root domain.  Exchange 2010 SP3 runs on 4 servers, 2 mailbox and 2 CAS. Created a new admin account that is a member of enterprise admin (root.com) Organization Management (Root.com) Schema Admins (root.com) domain admins (ad.root.com)

I try to do a move request via the GUI on 2013 and get this error:

Error:MigrationTransientException: Couldn‎'t find a move request that corresponds to the specified identity

Any insight?

hi

I get an error when installing cumulative update 2 for exchange server 2013. how to correct this problem ?

Hi All

Recently we're upgrading exchange 2007 sp3 to Exchange 2013, but I encountered a wierd problem during the exchange 2013 install.

Everything was good during schema prep, adprep, domainprep.

During the installation, it had a problem with discoverysearch mailbox, i followed one of the article over the net, which is disabled it and then re-enabled, then successfully resumed installation. (It's 10/14 steps at that time, which is mailbox role)

BUT, few seconds later after resume, the installation window disappear, I am not sure whether it's running at backend or it's just stopped running, so i waited and waited for nearly 1:30 minutes. I checked all the services, it seems to be all started.

I try to run the setup from installation media again, the first window saying is "incomplete installation detected", then I click next, it's just stuck at 0% percent.

I restarted computer, after reboot it's still showing me incomplete installation detected, then click next, it will stay at 0%.

If i try to open ECP page, it throws me an error, same as OWA. For some reason, the ECP doesn't use port 443, instead it's using 444. Both error looks like there's some configurations missing. It looks like the client access role hasn't been installed successfully, as in my IIS, the default website only shows powershell under its virtual directory.

I am wondering if anyone has experienced any of the above problem, any solutions?

Thank you very much

Hello,

We have installed a 2013 (updated till CU2 v2) server in our network to migrate from our old Exchange 2007 server (updated till SP3 rollup 11).

After the installation suddenly the Exchange 2007 public folders disappeared. In the ECM the was an error message. After manually repairing a schema entry (which was suddenly empty) the Public Folders came back online.

We also checked in the ECP 13 the Public Folders and both servers were shown.

But this morning when we logged on to the ECP 13, both Public Folder server were not seen anymore, but in the ECM 2007 we still see the Public Folders. Also the users can still access them.

Anyone an idea how to get the public folders back in the ECP 13 (without deleting the schema entry), so we can start a migration?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,I am a exchange server novice.

I install the first exchange server 2013 in the forest on a domain controller.

Unfortunately,the machine run into a blue screen during the installation.

Then I restart the machine and re-run the wizard,it prompt me the last installation was incompletion.

I click the install button then wizard display an error information as follow:

How could I work out this issue without rebuild the machine?

Could anyone help?

Hello,

I have a single server Exchange 2013 installation on Windows Server 2012.  I need to virtualize this server onto new hardware using Hyper-V and VMM.  Could someone please give me guidance as too the best way to accomplish this.  Somewhere I am doing something wrong.  I tried Disk2VHD but when I created a new VM and added this vhd the virtual machine would not start.  When trying both online and offline P2V within VMM the process fails along the way.

Someone please point me in the right direction as I am under the gun to get this migration done.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hello,

I am running a windows SBS 2011 standard system and there was currently an update for Exchange 2010 Rollup 2 Service Pack 3 and it keeps failing.  It says that it cannot find the installation package (exchangeserver.msi) and it is looking for it in E:\Software\Exchange2010-SP3-x64\ folder but there never was this folder.  There is only an Exchange2010-SP3-x64.exe file.

The only exchangeserver.msi file that I find on the server any where is in C:\ProgramFiles\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\CMPNENTS\EXCHANGE14_SP1 but it won't accept it (says not authorized for this update or something alike).

Please help.  It is currently causing issues with email.  Some of the features are not working because it says exchange is currently under maintenance.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
