We are planning an upgrade of our 2013 Exchange system (currently at CU 8) to CU 14. Our system consists of an eight (physical) server DAG. Each DB has 4 copies (one lagged). Fairly similar to the MS reference architecture.
Does anyone have any advice \ stories \ gotchas regarding this upgrade?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much!
Exchange 2010 SP3 RU13 with eXchange 2016 CU3 and Adding new Exchange 2010
this is the part of co-existence. I believe I read but can't fin the article. I believe once you extend the scheme from Exchange 2010 to Ex 2016 and in that co-existence mode if u want to introduce more Exchange 2010 you can't install nay new Exchange 2010 but u can only do Exchange 2016.
Correct me if I am wrong and please post the URL for any TechNet resource or from Exchange team
Where Technology Meets Talent
I currently have a 2010 Exchange environment which has a working 2010 hybrid for several years. It is working between the 10,000 Office 365 users and approx. the same on-prem. The problem we always have had it Shared Mailboxes and accessing them which requires the users to be on-prem Exchange.
The company I work for has made the decision to start migrating all users to Office 365, or as many as we can. The question I have is, is there a benefit of having Exchange 2013 Hybrid to allow the smooth transition of the Shared Mailboxes with keeping the 2010 Mailbox/CAS Servers? Is there much of a benefit in doing this or would we be better off skipping that portion.
The goal is to make it as transparent as possible to the users. I already know we are going to lose delegates and some permissions which we accept.
What would others suggest?
Hi there,
I am planning to install CU on our Exchange Server. This is a DAG setup. I am pretty confident on the steps to install the CU, but what I am worried about is about the custom settings that might exist on the Server. Before proceeding the CU installations I want to record these settings. Where/What all settings are available in an Exchange 2013 which can be customized. (I am new to this Organization and I dont have a document which I can refer at this point of time. So, just to confirm that I don't miss anything hoping to get any input on to check where all and what all will be the custom settings that I need to make a note of. Please shed in your ideas. Thank you all in advance.
Hi Community,
i need a litte help to simplify a cross org migration.
Ther are Two forrest in the source organisation. Forrest 1 holds the user accounts, forrest 2 the mailboxes as linked mailbox.
The goal is to merge the two forrests into one final forrest.
The Domain is set up an hosts the domain controllers and a two node dag (Exchange 2013). ADMT is installed an configured. PES Server set up correctly.
We can migrate Users via ADMT, perform the prepare-move-request and the move-requests works fine.
The question is, if it is possible to merge the linked mailbox user to the user from source domain and what is the best way to do it.
Should we perform the ADMT move first an the prepare request with the "uselocalobject" parameter and does it automaticly change the linked-Mailbox into al "normal" mailbox?
Regards
Pascal

Hi all,
I've been following an upgrade\Coexisting path and ran this command:
Set-OutlookProvider EXPR -OutlookProviderFlags:ServerExclusiveConnect
What followed was the opening of Hells Gate, every single outlook user started getting the windows security prompt.
It resulted in loads of help desk calls and each users profile needing "fixing" by unchecking the "On Fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP". Restarting outlook - the user goes straight back in or we needed to recreate the outlook profile.
What's weird is if you go back and tick that box it still works, can anyone explain why this was such a significant event and not the minor change the many articles I've read suggest it is. I have read a few things that say this upgrade is rather inconsistent, maybe we have just been unlucky? Not sure.
If anyone has a suggestion that would be great.
Details:
Exchange 2010 with Exchange 2013 coexisting, no live mailbox on 2013 yet.
3x 2010CAS in cas array 2x 2013 multi role.
OA has been enabled on all 2010 CAS servers. SCP is still pointing to the 2010 CAS array.
Thanks in advance!
I have been working on decommissioning our old Exchange 2007 servers for quite some time. I have posted a couple of questions but have not been able to get our Exchange 2007 Public Folder DB removed so that I can uninstall the Exchange 2007 servers. Here are my previous posts about where I am stuck.
So hopefully I can clarify what I am doing so someone can help me out. We have an Exchange 2007 mailbox server that holds basically an empty public folder DB. There is one folder in there called ExchangeV1. We DO NOT use public folders anymore. There are no public folder databases on our Exchange 2013 servers and there is no reason I would need to migrate the empty public folder DB from Exchange 2007.
What I was trying to do was just delete the last public folder database on the 2007 server and then uninstall Exchange 2007. The problem is that I am unable to delete the public folder database that resides on the 2007 server. When I try to delete it, it says I am unable to delete the database as it still has replicas. I have already dismounted the PFDB and renamed the EDB and log file directories and then recreated the PFDB. I get the same error with the newly created PFDB when I try to delete it as well. There is one folder listed in the PFDB, ExchangeV1. What is the purpose of the ExchangeV1 folder? The Exchange 2007 servers have been off for the last 3 months except the small amount of time I had them on to try and remove them. I have not gotten any errors or had any issues while the Exchange 2007 servers were off so I don't believe there is anything needed from them. Can someone please tell me; Do I honestly need to create a Public Folder Database on Exchange 2013 to replicate the data (ExchangeV1 Folder) from Exchange 2007 even though there should be nothing in the newly rebuilt 2007 PFDB? Can I just delete the PFDB? If so, How do I get around the ExchangeV1 replica folder?
Dear All,
I am running exchnage 2013 with 3 nodes,my DAG IP is showing offline i am not able to ping it but there is no interruptions for the users email flows is working perfectly fine,but since my DAG IP is not pinging i am not able to take backup,as the the host name in the backup is configured as the DAG IP,can i right click and try bring it online,if i do this will it effect anything.

Hello !
I'm currently planning for a migration from Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange Server 2016. As a POC, I build the target Exchange Server 2016 in a separate Active Directory forest (customer wants to build a new AD because the old one is suffix less !).
Regarding the Active Directory migration, I'm using ADMT, Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 and New-MoveRequest cmdlet. I'm able to migrate a mailbox from one organization to another, which is great. Transport is working (I shared the SMTP domains). However, the customer would like to share the calendar between both organizations with all details (not only free/busy).
My question is: is it possible to share the same SMTP domain through Microsoft Federation Gateway ? Sounds weird! And it does the job, is it possible to share all details from the calendar events ? Maybe I should use ILM or something like that ?
Many thanks !
Xavier
Hi all
I have a 2013 Exchange server, where inbox-rules and oof have stop working, after a crash.
If I run the rule manually i works fine, but not automatic. That makes me think, it might be the same problem
that curses the two things to stop working.
Can anyone give me a hint on what to look for ?

Hi
I Have two domains . Domain A and Domain B
need to transfer all around 150 user from domain A to domain B
In addition I need to transfer the mailboxes for the 150 user from Domain A to Domain B
I need Support in details please

First question is can I jump directly from CU7 to CU14 or do I need to do this in stages (i.e. 7 to 10 then 10 to 14)
Second question is related to the process. The last time I installed a CU was when I went from 5 to 7 and this needed a schema extension and a lot of work. Is 14 the same or is it a straight install?
Just recently migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. All mailboxes have been moved.
Through my searches I've seen a lot of people indicating that this could be an issue with the configuration for authentication in Outlook Anywhere and on the IIS virtual sites. I've been following various recommendations like enabling kernel-mode authentication, reordering NTLM higher than Negotiate under providers, and changing Outlook Anywhere from negotiate to NTLM.
So far none of these changes have seemed to make a difference. Outlook still repeatedly prompts for the password. I'm a bit at a loss on what to try next.
Hi
Ive run all scripts to get the csv files and after creating the public folder mailbox on exchange 2013 with the command:
New-Mailbox -PublicFolder MailboxName -HoldForMigration:$true
Then when running the command for starting the migration:
New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest -SourceDatabase (Get-PublicFolderDatabase -Server <Source server name>) -CSVData (Get-Content <Folder to mailbox map path> -Encoding Byte)
i get the following error:
Couldn't connect to the source mailbox.Ive search for the error code "RemoteTransientException" and all i get is that the mailbox should be corrupted and i have to remove it from the quarantine via regedit, but the quarantine is empty
thanks for your help

Hello every one,
I have a problem to migrate mailbox from exchange 2013 to exchange 2007 back.
Recently We have installed a pilot exchange 2013 and already migrate about 100 mailboxes.
But we still have some problems, and need transfer/migrate some mailboxes back to exchange 2007
i'm facing with this problem couple of days from now, can't move some mailboxes i'm geting this message:
Relinquishing job because the mailbox is locked. The job will attempt to continue again after 5/27/2013 10:27:43 AM.
