Hello all, thanks for reading!

Installed Exchange 2010 onto a 2008 server SP2 in my 2007 Exchange environment.

At the end of the install, there was an error with the MB Role install. Now I have a mailbox DB that is not mounted with a copy status of ServiceDown.

I tried making a new mailbox DB but they error out with the following

I wanted to uninstall/reinstall the MB role but I get an error indicating there are mailboxes in this new DB. I believe these to be the arbitration mailboxes. Running get-mailbox shows one MB named DiscoverySearchMailbox that is on the Exchange 2010 server.

Any thoghts on how I could proceed?

Mailboxes migrated from 2010 to 2013 cannot be accessed, new 2013 mailboxes can

≪ Previous: how to move/remove arbitration mailboxes on corrupted (?) and unmounted DB Exchange 2010

Hello all,

I have installed 2 exchange 2013 servers (1x Client Access, 1x Mailbox) in an existing 2010 SP3 environment.

When creating new mailboxes, these mailboxes work perfectly fine.
When migrating an existing (2010) mailbox to a new 2013 database, the migration takes very long (>24h per mailbox, also very small ones) and eventually complete with warning that the old database cannot be cleaned up.

This migrated mailbox cannot be accessed by OWA nor by Outlook 2013 clients. Get-Mailbox does show the mailbox in the new 2013 database.

How can I troubleshoot this?

Stephan van der Plas

EMC and EMS won't load

≪ Previous: Mailboxes migrated from 2010 to 2013 cannot be accessed, new 2013 mailboxes can

After applying the latest available updates to my Exchange 2010 server (all roles on the same server), I experienced many problems with all Exchange services. Finally got everything working after applying SP3 and Rollup 2. However, I still can't access EMC or EMS. I've tried every fix posted on the net, including the Kerberos settings, authentication settings, removing/creating the Powershell virtual directory, etc. OWA and Activesync appear to be working well. The problem I am having is related to the powershell assembly microsoft.exchange.configuration.redirectionmodule, which won't load. Note that I have checked redirection on the default website and redirection is NOT enabled. Also, SSL is NOT enabled on the powershell virtual directory.

Note that all references to the server name have been changed for security purposes.

The error I get from the EMC is:
Connecting to remove server failed with the following error message: The WinRM client cannot process the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination computer. The content type is absent or invalid. It was running the command 'Discover-ExchangeServer -UseWIA $true -SuppressError $true -CurrentVersion 'Version 14.3 (Build 123.4)"

When I try to browse to the path http:\\localhost\powershell I get this error:

Hi,

I have granted a user the ability to edit / mange their organization through the Exchange Control Panel. Once the user logs in, they can make all edits except the actual street address. The city, state, zip etc. can be changed. But the 'Street' field will not accept any characters. I made her a member of the helpdesk role. I also logged into the ECP as the actual domain administrator, and I cannot edit the street field either. Anything I'm missing? Thanks
