Failure installing SP3 on Exchange 2010

0

Good evening,

Following TechNet closely I'm currently in the process of moving my exchange 2010 environment to 2013.  I have single exchange server on a SBS 2011 box.  Sadly I've failed at the first hurdle installing SP3, the result is that my Exchange 2010 is refusing all client connections.

During the SP3 install I passed all prerequisites but during the actual upgrade it failed at the Hub Transport Role with the following error:

Summary: 8 item(s). 3 succeeded, 1 failed.

Hello All,<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p>

We have Exchange Server 2013 in my environment, and we have issue with Receive connector a scan to email, the technical support can configure the multi-function print device scan to email successful using Internal SMTP relay without any permission from the Exchange side.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p>

I Have the custom Received connector created before and also removed the default IP address range remote network settings.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p>

Any setting needs to check or to apply to prevent this type of scan to email ,  and only provide the permission to Multi-function print device or any device through the Exchange side.<o:p></o:p>

2007 to 2013 cross forest migration

Hopefully someone can give me some advice. I am trying to run a mailbox move from Exchange 2007 to 2013 in a different forest. The issue I am having is when I try to run the command new-moverequest on the Exchange 2007 management shell it is failing with 'new-moverequest is not an available cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program'

I think it may be a permission issue but cant see where to apply the necessary permissions. I am logging in as a domain admin that looks like it has everything it requires.

Could someone please advise where to look for the correct permisions.

Thanks

Unable to access ECP/OWA

I installed Exchange 2013 on 2 brand new Server 2012 virtual machines, one with the mailbox role and another with the CAS roles. The installation completed without errors but I cannot log on to the ECP (or OWA for that matter). As I enter my user/pass, the password field goes blank and a number of event log entries are added (see below).

I'm using the default administrator account (also Enterprise Admin, Domain Admin and member of the Organization Management security groups). I mail-enabled the account with enable-mailuser + enable-mailbox. I can execute Exchange Powershell cmdlets when logged on with this account, so security looks good.

The problem is OWA/ECP which consistenly logs the following errors when I attempt to access the OWA:

Exchange email account work with Office 365 at a same time

Hi support team,

I have a question about Exchange 2007 and Office 365.

We have Exchange 2007 to provide email service for our worldwide users.

One of our location would like to change use your Office 365 service.

For safety, they want us to keep their existings in Exchange server for a short period.

The problem was their domain will record to Office 365 for email server.

That means our Exchange server and Office 365 will share same domain in a short period for receiving emails.

This should have some conflicts because duplicate email address and their domain was registered in our DNS server.

It should caused our internal user cannot delivery emails to them.

Could you please help to check is it any setting or chance for Exchange and Office 365 work at the same time?

Thank you.

Best regards

Cary

Exchange 2010 - changing AD site

$

Hi,

I have Exchange 2010 DAG and CASHUB severs in site A. I need to them to site B, where most of users reside. I plan to install in site B new multirole servers and switch existing databases to them using database portability fuctionality. I changed URL's in every Exchange services (EWS, Outlook Anywhere) to redirect connections to new servers in site B. Unfortunately I came to a stop at changing a site in exitisting CAS Array. In Outlook connection status I see connections to old CAS servers in site A, but netstat command shows connections to new servers in site B. I didn't change FQDN od CAS Array, just site.

As article http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/03/28/demystifying-the-cas-array-object-part-2.aspx says in point 5 changing FQDN od CAS Arrays makes trouble for Outlook, so apparently similiar problem is even if you don't change FQDN of CAS Array, but just site parameter.

The question is how to obey this obstacle in enterprise scale? (the right way)

If I plan to move existing databases to new servers in site B via database portability - should I do it before or after changing CAS Array?

MAPI over HTTP outage caused by OAB generation

Hello,

Our Exchange 2013 CU7 infrastructure is facing Outlook connection outage. We are using MAPI over HTTP protocol and most of the client are Outlook 2013 SP1.

After a lot investigation we found out that this issue is related to the OAB generation. It seems that OAB generation triggers stopping of all the service related to IIS. This result in an Outlook outage of minimum 5 minutes that is resolved by the MSExchangeMapiMailboxAppPool recycling.

Exchange 2010 sp3 RPC connectivity between separate physical sites

$
0
0

Good evening! I have installed Exchange 2010 a few times in my life but never in an environment like this. Please don't judge me for this architecture, it wasn't my idea! ;)

I have two physical sites - one is a sort-of hot backup for the other. Each site has an equally deployed set of Exchange 2010 server roles. Both sites are on the same AD domain and are replicating well. Both sites have full access to AD.

Each site has:

Server 1 - HUB/CAS

Server 2 - Mailbox

Server 3 - Mailbox

(edge role performed by security appliance, not part of this problem/question)

The sites are separated by Cisco ASA Firewalls

I have followed the instructions available almost everywhere online to statically assign to RPC ports for the dynamic range to each server: 59540, and 59541 for ExchangeRPC, ExchangeAB, and ExchangeIS. These are permitted through the firewalls. 135 is also permitted (as is 25 for e-mail transfers).

I can do some things but not others - for instance:

I can move mailboxes from site A to site B. I can send e-mail from site A to site B.

I cannot access a mailbox through OWA that is in Site A through Site B's CAS role (or vice-versa). I cannot get certificates in EMC or EMS (system cites an RPC error). I cannot build a DAG across all 4 mailbox servers as is required by the architecture I was given. I do have a replication network setup on the 4 mailbox servers.

I believe this to be an RPC problem as that is the error I generally get. Netstat shows many ports listening on each server in addition to the ones I statically configured. I'm assuming that the servers are still handing out ports in the dynamic rpc range but I could be misunderstanding this process.

What am I missing? How do I get RPC to work only over those two ports (or a couple more)? Our networking group will not open 1000 or 5000 ports for me.

Alternately - is there a way you can think-of that I can push RPC traffic over the replication network? I could probably get them to add the replication network to my hub/cas servers.

Any help is appreciated - thank you!

Hi,

We have an Exchange 2007 environment and are installing a fresh 2013 environment to migrate to.  The Client Access servers installed successfully, but when I go to install a mailbox server I get the following error:

Does anyone have any thoughts on this one?  We don't have any Exchange 2010 servers.  The installer stops at this error.  The database it refers to is the one it created earlier during the same install, so not sure what it means when it says it isn't on an Exchange 2013 server.  This DB is on another local volume.

Thank you,

So I'm getting ready to apply the update. I wanted to double check with anyone here who has done the update from SP1 to CU9. Are there any issues I should keep an eye out for? Is the application of the update actually seamless? I found a tutorial on Exchange Server Pro: http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-2013-installing-cumulative-updates/ 

Is that tutorial still valid even though it's been a couple years? 

Due to AD schema changes in the other CU's should I worry that my Domain and Forest Functional Levels are still set at Server 2003?

Thanks,

 

Installing Exchange 2013 into child domains only

Hi Guys,

I have the following senario, We have two clients who are part of the same parent. We have built a new forest:

Forestroot.com

With two child domains 

Child1.forestroot.com

Child2.forestroot.com

The Forestroot does not need exchange but both child roots do require exchange.

I have extended the Schema, preped the root AD and preped all other domains.

To install exchange I have logged onto the exchange box in the child domain as the forestroot admin:

When I install exchange in the first child domain I get errors to do with the the arbitration mailboxes not being created, the accounts in the root domain are not mailbox users. I figure this is due to no exchange being created in the forestroot. 

Exchange actually is installed and running. 

From the child exchange server when I log into ECP as the forestroot admin I get the following error:



I can add the child domain administrator to organisation management group in the root forest and then manage the exchange server but was wondering if there was away to manage these as the forestroot admin without installing the management tools in the forestroot domain?

Also should I worry about the system mailboxes that where not created, I don't believe they are critical to the functioning of exchange. 

In the forestroot domain I currently have the following mailboxes only:

  • Administrator
  • DiscoverySearchMailbox

Final checklist for Exchange 2013 cutover migration

Currently running a hybrid Exchange 2013 environment, with DirSync and ADFS SSO.

We were looking to decommission all Exchange 2013 servers, but as we only have one, following some reading, MS state that one server has to remain if using DirSync and ADFS. Bang goes that idea.

Just to clarify the order of steps to take, for moving all mailboxes/groups to Office 365;

- Disable DirSync

- Remove any users from Office 365, whose mailboxes haven't been migrated already (at present, all staff have been provisioned in Office 365)

- Purge staff from Office 365 recycle bin

- Create staff migration batch in Exchange

- Convert on-premises mailboxes to MEUs, as per https://mikecrowley.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/converting-a-mailbox-to-a-mailuser-and-not-loosing-attributes/

(Has anyone tried these steps with Exchange 2013?)

- Re-enable DirSync

- Sort MX DNS record to point to O365 – how long should we wait before doing this?

If there are any steps that I haven’t thought of, could anyone make any suggestions?

Many thanks.
