Hi,

I'm currently having problem in enabling a hybrid setup for exchange 2013, the error is "HYBRID SYNCHRONIZING FAILED"

So upon reading blogs and forums, I was given an idea to upgrade my exchange to CU9. But I'm having issues on doing this task. 

Can you please help me? below are the errors encountered when upgrading to CU9

I successfully ran the following powershell cmdlet kicking off an initial sync of mailboxes in preparation to migrate from Exchange 2007 SP3 Update rollup 16 to Exchange 2013 CU9, all from one local server to another local server:

New-MigrationBatch -Local -Name Users1 -CSVData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("C:\!IT\Migration\Users1.csv")) -AutoRetryCount 5 -AllowIncrementalSyncs $true -BadItemLimit 1000

The way I understand it, the AllowIncrementalSyncs parameter allows for incremental synchronization between the source and target mailboxes every 24 hours.  Any new messages sent to the source mailbox are supposed to be copied to the target mailbox.  

I waited 40+ hours after the initial MigrationBatch was kicked off and completed and ran the following cmdlet:

Get-MigrationBatch -Identity Users1 | FL

I expected to see theLastSyncedDateTime to show that it synced again since it's been over 40 hours but it shows the date/time of when I initially kicked it off, not 24 hours later like I expected, it's been over 40 hours since the initial sync completed.  What am I missing here?  

My intention is to migrate all 500 of our users this way and the night of the final cut over I can complete the migration batch.  How do I confirm these mailboxes are syncing every 24 hours?  I'm concerned that it could take too long to complete if they don't sync every 24 hours.  I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Hi Guys,

I'm currently having a problem on my hybrid configuration,

One of the prerequisites for the Hybrid was to install CU6 or lates on Exchange 2013 as there was an error on the wizard.

So we upgrade it to CU9

After upgrading when I try to re-run the wizard I received below error.

The wizard did not complete successfully. Please see the list below for error details. Federation certificate with the thumbprint "A27A5D1D0F7BCAB4B5DDD75BD7CFFF36594C14E3" cannot be found.

Any help on this will be much appreciated

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to install exchange 2013 and I'm running in to an issue. I am not an exchange expert, however I can understand the error message. 

I see that exchange 2007 must be have SP3 but the funny thing is that all the exchange servers in the organization were decommissioned.

This is the error message,

Error:

All Exchange 2007 servers in the organization must have Exchange 2007 SP3 or later installed. The following servers don't meet this requirement: xxexx,exchxx,exchxzx

For more information, visit: 

If there is anything I can do to check why this error message pops up.

(or)

If there is any entry that remains even after exchange is decommissioned causes this error message to pop up?

Appreciate your input and time.

Thanks,

hi,

I have a strange problem on exchange 2013 cu10 on the branch site.

When I want to logon to the ecp at branch site, after logon I get redirected to a exchange server in the main site and if I want to logon at owa on the branch site I get also redirected to the main site and the owa backend site of exchange on port 444.

This Issue is since I had a problem with the canaray data, I cleared this to not set in AD and updated all exchange server from sp1(cu4) to cu10.

The exchange server in the main site work correctly. I also deinstalled the two exchange server and take it off the domain in the branch site with the problem, then installed new but the redirect still exist.

Have anybody an idea why I get redirected to the main site?? Of course on the virtual directories there are no redirects set!

Beste regards,
marcus

Hi,

I have a server with only the Exchange 2013 client tools installed. My upgrade to CU9 failed. I try to re-run the installation, which tries to complete the setup, but I am running into the following error:

Team,

i had transfer schema mastewr role on server 2008 r2. post transfering the role when i trying to extend the schema on server 2008 r2 server. I am getting error message. Please help me to fix up the issue

Hello All...

Trying to uninstall Exchange 2013 CUv2 v2. I've moved all the Mailboxes, Arbitration, Discovery, Public Folder, etc to another working server. Everything was moved over fine. Uninstall via the control panel proceeded as normal, then just failed. No choice but to exit. Now when trying to recover, and uninstall again....I cannot. I get the vague error of "An incomplete installation was detected.  Run setup to complete Exchange installation." 

Not that I want to, but tried to reinstall, but can't do that either.

I know it's a last resort and not supported, but can I just use ASDIEdit ,and manually remove the server references? If so, what is a good guide on the procedure....? I don't want spend hours pouring over setup logs and the registry if I don't have to- just want this removed from AD.

I've searched the net quite a bit on manual removal, but can't find a concise how-to...

Any help is appreciated ...Thanks

I work as an instructor for apprentices at a school in Norway.

I have set up a virtual server 2003, and installed Exchange 2007. After setup is complete, I try to create a mailbox, both new user and existing user. The wizard failes, giving this error:

An Exchange 2007 server on which an adddress list service is active cannot be found.

I've googled around for a while, and the only answer I found was that the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service needs to be started from services.

However, that service is missing from my list.

I have tried reinstalling Exchange server, but had no luck..

Good day,

We have:

* Existing E2007 Sp3 latest Rollup on SRV2008 (With user certs for ActiveSync(External + Internal)

* Fresh Installed Exchange 2013 CU10 on Server 20012 R2 (Only Test user on other side)

* Enterprise CA on Server 2008

* User Cetrificate Authentication for Iphone and Android (No user cert auth W7 client side needed)

Problem:

A 2013 test user is able to do ActiveSync test with EAD Mobilitydojo.net tool (No cert)

Same test user is unable to authenticate with a user cert file and >User based Certificate Authentication on E2014< for Acticesync

* Exchange 2013 clean and fully de-installed (No ADSI Entrys left in any  form for that server). Could clean deinstall. All Arbitary and Health/Search moved.

* Exchange 2013 clean and fully re-installed

* Did rebuild of Acticesync Virtual Directory

WORSE I GOT it running IN LAB: Same Setup in VM Lab BUT with NONE 2007 in Place and fresh installed CA seems to work.

MAY BE SOURCE BUT UNABLE TO SOLVE. If we Import the user Cert PFX from the user in the Computer/personal store of the Exchange 2013 and run the test tool direct there IT works.

> It seems like the E2013 does NOT trust the CA

IF i take out the Personal Cert from STORE and Clean with (certutil -urlcache crl delete,certutil -urlcache ocsp delete ) and test again it does not work. So in that case hes not able to autheticate to the CA. But if he has it local it works.

And the Exchange Activesync MD test Tool from Mobilitydojo.net we have the cert correct with Filename and Password. H:\migration\exchange_2007_2013\eas\2007_personal.pfx

--------------------------------------------- ERROR we see there if it does not work -----

testing HTTP GET:
Response: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
Explanation:
The server requires SSL and will not let you connect over HTTP.
(For instance trying to connect over HTTP while IIS requires SSL.)
Status: Further action required

--------------------------------------------- ERROR we see there if it does not work -----

All root / intermediate to my knowledge (only weakness PKI sometimes ;-)) ok BUT the if we import Manual and then it works worries me. For me that means something between the Exchange 2013/2012R2 and the SRV 2008 CA is not ok.

We use a SAN-With 4 names but TWO Domains. webmail.test01.com autodiscover.test01.com and webmail.test02.com (Old). Have made a self signed for Debug but was the source.

* IIS settings are complete identical and we verified them (REAL Server and LAB we build 2 times)

* Cert Authentication IIS feature installed

* The Meta ENABLE for Authentication Certs is on TRUE

* All Cash cleaned from IIS

Please help if you can. ;-)

I have two 2012 servers running Exchange 2013 SP1. They are both multi-role servers and are members of a DAG and are also load-balanced behind a Citrix Netscaler. I was ready to begin moving my mailboxes from 2010 to 2013 when I ran into a problem. In order to try and resolve this problem, I attempted to update to CU8.

(After a successful mailbox move, I am unable to open my own mailbox in Outlook (2013 or 2010). I receive an error that "the set of folders cannot be opened". I am, however, able to view my mailbox from another migrated mailbox which has "full access" to it. After some unsuccessful attempts to figure it out, I decide that I should probably update Exchange to the latest before I start messing with other things. Bad mistake.)

The CU8 setup fails in the Set-SharedConfigDC step with the error "No Minimal Required Number of Suitable Directory Servers Found in Forest".

I've read that I need IPv6 enabled. It had previously been "unchecked" in the NIC settings of the Exchange and DC servers. I've enabled it on the Exchange server and two of the DCs one of which is a GC. No luck. I've also added the "Exchange Servers" and "Exchange Subsystem" groups to the AD "Administrators" group which was another suggestion I received.

The DCs are in a different subnet from the Exchange server.  I am running at domain functional level of 2003.

And just to reiterate: I had successfully installed Exchange 2013 SP1 with IPv6 "unchecked" on all Exchange and DC servers before the CU8 update failed.

I have been trying to move a mailbox database and its log folderpath for several days. Every time it terminates with an error and the move fails. So i tried to move the logfolderpath and it worked perfectly. Log files have been moved. Again I tried to move the DB it failed again. please find below the error message. The size of the DB is close to 1TB. After the failing the DB is unmounted. There is an Edb file in the current location of the mailboxdatabase. also an Edb file in the new destination location. Size of both Edbs are the same. The error occured after about 10 hours of copying database file. I restarted the server and the mailboxdatabase mounts and i can send & receive mails fine. The file path to DB is same as before.

I upgraded to Exchange 2013 and I don't need or want the Exchange 2010 public folders.  I need to remove the 2010 server, but if I shutdown the server, Outlook 2010 clients cannot load, they get stuck trying to connect to this last public folder...

I tried using the Public Folder Management Console in Exchange 2010 and I was able to delete all of the public folders except this last one, \Internet Newsgroups.  I get the error that I have the correct identity and that I have the correct permissions to delete it.

I followed the article,  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883(v=exchg.141).aspx and when I try and run the PS command:

Get-PublicFolder -Server server2010 "\" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server server2010 -Recurse

I get an error,

Action 'Remove' could not be performed on object 'Internet Newsgroups'.

Internet Newsgroups
 Failed
 Error:
 Cannot delete the object '\Internet Newsgroups'. Please make sure that you specified the correct identity and that you have the correct permissions to delete it.

---

It looks like my Outlook 2010 client has this public folder cached and it is trying to connect to it and get hung and never connects.  Is there another way to delete this public folder? 

When I go into ADSI--> I do have under CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange, CN=Domain, CN=Administrative Groups, CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT), CN=Databases, CN=Public Folder Database

Should I delete this??? or is there a better way??

Hello together,

I have a question regarding the Cmdlet Extension Agent:

Can I "manipulate" the New-MoveRequest in the way, that I can grab the automatically selected target database, add a prefix to the database to generate the Archive-database Name and then take the new Name for "-ArchiveTargetDatabase" ?

The target is to move the Mailbox in a normal user mailbox database and the archive mailbox to an archive database.

Everytime I try a cmdlet, it says:

WARNING: The cmdlet extension agent with the index 0 has thrown an exception in OnComplete(). The exception is:
Microsoft.Exchange.Provisioning.ProvisioningException: ScriptingAgent: Exception thrown while invoking scriptlet for
OnComplete API: Specified method is not supported.. ---> System.NotSupportedException: Specified method is not
supported.

Thanks in advance!

I installed SP3 on Exchange and none of the services started. Upon investigation there were a number of files missing from C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Bin. notably MSExchangeADTopologyService.exe store.exe mad.exe

In ADSIEdit the serial number of Exchange is v8.1 (Build 30240.6) SP1, in the registry the build on Admin Tools 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\v8.0\AdminTools ConfiguredVersion and UnpackedVersion are both 8.3.83.6 and 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\v8.0\ClientAccessRole HubTransportRole and MailBoxRole are all ConfiguredVersion 8.1.240.6

Have read posts about editing serial numbers and registry to run setup /M:RecoverServer which currently fails because the current installed version is 8.3.83.6 and the last installed version is 8.1.240.6 so that registry entries and serial number in AD is the same.

Has anyone done this successfully? and what needs to be edited so I can recover/reapply SP3? There is no Watermark entry in the registry.

Thanks

Rachel

I'm the admin with basic knowledge of Exchange currently working at a branch office in an Organization with two main branches/sites in different cities, Site A(172.16.0.0/16) and Site B (172.18.0.0/16) both in an AD Domain "abc.com".  

I'am currently working at Site B which is part of an AD Domain "abc.com", whose Forest Root Domain is at Site A. Site A has an Exchange server handling emails only for users in Site A "alias@abc.com"......Due to the nature of business at Site B, we have 3 internet domains "efg.com, xyz.com and jkl.com" used for emails which are running on a Linux box.

My requirement is to move away from the Linux environment at Site B to and deploy and Exchange server (joined to the "abc.com" AD Domain) but handling emails for "efg.com, xyz.com and jkl.com" internet domains.

How can i achieve this. Thank you

I currently have an Exchange 2013/2007 coexistence scenario which gives me trouble with the RPC over HTTP part with users with a 2007 mailbox. the MS RCA website performs 2 tests with the MAPI address book endpoints, once against a 2007 mailbox server and once a against a GC/DC, the last one fails.

texmb11 = ex2007 mailbox
texfr11 = ex2007 CAS
tdc01421 = DC/GC
texch31 = 2013 multirole

other symptoms :

Browser test
https://texch31.domain.test/rpc/rpcproxy.dll?texmb11:6004 --> 503 (which is correct)
https://texch31.domain.test/rpc/rpcproxy.dll?tdc01421:6004 --> 404.0 Not Found

RPCPing
rpcping -t ncacn_http -s texmb11 -o RpcProxy=texch31.domain.test -P "user,dom,*" -I "user,dom,*" -H 2 -u 9 -a connect -F 3 -v 3 -e 6004
Success

rpcping -t ncacn_http -s tdc01421 -o RpcProxy=texch31.domain.test -P "user,dom,*" -I "user,dom,*" -H 2 -u 9 -a connect -F 3 -v 3 -e 6004
Fails!

so the Ex2013 RPCProxy doesn't proxy to the DC/GC, but the RPCProxy to an ex2007 mailbox server works fine, so the authentication methods configured are correct i'd say..

the same tests using the ex2007CAS server as RPC proxy all succeed!:

Logs

all tries against the 2013 CAS server generate '404' log entries in several logs int the Logging directory, the most explicit being the one in Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Logging\HttpProxy\RpcHttp : HttpProxy_xxxxxx.LOG

the error suggests the name could not be resolved. but nslookup works fine. i can ping the tdc01421 correctly form texch31, it returns me the ipv4 address. i can telnet to port 6004 from texch31 server to tdc01421 giving me the correct 'ncacn_http' answer..

i look at the 'ValidPorts' and ValidPorts_Autoconfig_Exchange reg keys and filled them with the same i have on the 2007cas servers (all ex servers, all dc/gc's, all of them with netbios & fqdn ports 6001,6002 & 6004..) but also no success.

im out of ideas by now..
