All,

This is a pretty basic install of Edge Transport. It's running CU9. I stood up an additional CAS server a week ago and this weekend went to re-register the edge subscription which resulted in a failure.

I am running the Edge Subscription as the Local Administrator of that machine, but when I attempt to run New-EdgeSubscription -Filename "edgesub.xml", I'm getting a prompt for a smart card (which I definitely did not use when I built this). It then subsequently fails to connect to the LDAP (I assume ADAM) database on that server, but does create the edgesub file.

So I'm not really sure what's going on here, could anyone help?

Server is a workgroup server. Running from an elevated EMS prompt.

I'm setting up a new data center. I have created a new mailbox server and replicated all databases in the DAG. I'm about to bring a new CAS server online at that location. Does anyone know how I can install the new CAS server without it responding in autodiscovery until I have completed the work.  I want to make sure no one gets certificate errors or anything while I get all of the external certs registered. We have split DNS internally and use owa.mycompany.com for everything both internal and external. We do not have a load blanancer, just DNS round Robin.

I'm hoping to get some clarity on this one, because I haven't been too successful with internet searches.

We currently have one Exchange 2013 CU14 MB/CAS and one Exchange 2013 CU14 Edge.  The edge subscription has been established.  I'm now ready to run the Hybrid Configuration Wizard, and I'm looking at the following table to make sure all firewall exceptions are in place: Exchange Online URLs and IP address ranges.  The part I am confused about is row 12.  It explains that outgoing exceptions need to be made for the following endpoints, but it doesn't explain where these requests will be originating from:

hybridconfiguration.azurewebsites.net
*.hybridconfiguration.azurewebsites.net
*.store.core.windows.net
mshrcstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net

During the HCW, will outgoing requests to these endpoints be originating from the MB/CAS or Edge servers?

Thank you!

Hello,

i´m migrating our exchange 2010 standalone server to exchange 2013 (two servers with mailbox and cas role and dag).

Last week i found the get-healthreport command. So i execute this command on both server to check if my installations are correct.

But i found on both server that the network Healthset is unhealthy. Also i found in the Microsoft eventviewer this error.

receive side scaling should be activated

So i ask Dr. Google but i found nothing to fix my problem. I tried to disable netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled

and netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled  and enabled SR-IOV for the virtual network card.

But nothing helped.

Both servers run as vm on a hyer-v host. The server and hyper-v host run with Windows 2012R2.

So, have somebody an idea?

Hi all,   a mystery needs solving any suggestions much appreciated:

We are trying to install Exchange Server 2013 on Windows 2012 server.

The ISO File being used is: SW_DVD9_Exchange_Svr_2013w_SP1_MultiLang_Std_Ent_MLF_X19-35118

All preparation and requisites in place.

During Stage 2 Copying files, we receive an error code 1603 and installation halts.

The error states:

Installing product F:\exchangeserver.msi failed. Fatal error during installation. Error code is 1603. Last error reported by the MSI package is 'Source file not found: F:\Setup\ServerRoles\ClientAccess\Owa\prem\version\resources\themes\base\0\microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.'.

We have verified that the Path in the error is correct and exists BUT the file is not present within the 0 folder.

We have downloaded the ISO from our Action Pack resources twice and attempted 4 separate installations.

We have tried both Mailbox/Client Access  and Mailbox only installations.

The missing file: microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css. Hopefully the only file misisng???

Any ideas anyone, could we source a different ISO or copy of the file or ?????

Many thanks in advance

Have an existing ex2010 sp3 organization.

Could not run ex2013cu1 setup from my newly built 2012 server, getting the error in the subject line.  I used the command line to run the AD preparation steps successfully from my 2012 DC/GC, then tried to run setup again from the new 2012 server and still get the same error.  The error itself in the log is pretty useless:

We currently have our mailboxes on an Exchange 2013 box. Mail comes and goes through a 2010 Hub Transport that's connected to a parent agency, we don't use an Edge Transport.

Our managers want to replace the 2010 Hub Transport with an Exchange 2013 box. We want to install GFI MailEssentials on this server so it doesn't affect our existing mailbox server. This way we have a 'newer' Hub Transport and GFI installed.

Is there a downside to this setup that anyone can see?

Hi Guys,

I need some help with the receive connector configuration in Exchange server 2013 and exchange 2010 environment.

I have migrated my Exchange environment from ex2010 to ex2013. i have 2 exchange 2010 server and 2 exchange 2013 server.

EXchange 2010

EX2010A : Client access (Was before the Migaration)

Ex2010B: Hub Transport and mailbox Server.

Exchange 2013

Ex2013A : Multirole server.

Ex2013B : Multirole Server. (Currently the Client facing server through Sophos Firewall.)

and i have configured the DAg as well between the Ex2013A and Ex2013B server , all is working fine and normal and now i also want to remove the legacy server (Ex2010 servers.)

but there is some question i am having about the receive connector. I didn't create any New Receive connector on the Exchange 2013 Server's. I have these by default created 5 Receive connector.

and i have these default receive connector on my Both Exchange 2013 Server.

in the old exchange 2010 Hub transport server i also had some other Hub transport receive connector.  for example.

SMTP-Proxy connecter. since my firewall is acting as the proxy for the emails so i wanted to created a smtp proxy connector which is allowed to receive the emails from the firewall but when i create the new hub transport server i get these warning.

I have these question:

1: Do i need to create the new receive connector before i remove the legacy exchange server ?

2: I also need to create some connector for the Post-fix server to send some alerts to exchange recipients. but i again receive the same error message's

3: what else i need to check before i can remove the legacy server.

thank you so much for the help in advance.

Hi,

After installing CU14 @ Exchange 2013, random mails in Outlook gets their body text converted, when they click reply / forward on mails.

Office 2013 is full updated, running at Server 2012 R2.
Added GPO for setting uni-code to UTF-8.
Added "<add key="DisableDetectEncodingFromMetaTag" value="true" />" so EdgeTransport.exe.config

Nothing has fixed this yet. Any suggestions are very welcome.

Example: 䠼䵔⁌浸湬㩳塥汣楡敭㵲栢瑴㩰⼯睷⹷硥汣楡敭⹲潣甮≫砠汭獮瘺∽牵㩮捳敨慭

Customer has Exchange 2007 and wants to move to Office 365 in a hybrid scenario.
This means we need an Exchange 2013 hybrid server.
In a 2007 and 2013 coexistence we need to switch CAS to 2013 and configure legacy on 2007, is this also applicable in a 2007/2013 hybrid environment ? And if yes we need a certificate with legacy fqdn on it ?

When we install an Exchange 2013 hybrid server in an Exchange 2007 environment, do we first need to move mailbox to the Exchange 2013 server before we can move it to Office 365 ?

Lastly does Free/Busy work between a 2007 and a O365 mailbox ?

Do we need to switch MX to 2013 after CAS switch or can mail flow come though 2007 ?

Customer has 2000 mailboxes, will 1 Exchange 2013 hybrid server be sufficient or is it best practise to configure 2 for HA cause CAS is switched to Exchange 2013 servers?

Setup.exe /prepareschema /IAcceptExchangeserverlicenseterms

gives error:  [ERROR] An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework. This release of the .NET Framework does not enable CAS policy by default, so this load may be dangerous. If this load is not intended to sandbox the assembly, please enable the loadFromRemoteSources switch. Seehttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=155569 for more information. ; Any hints how to solve this?

Hello,

Good afternoon, all!

I have gotten behind on my CU's for Exchange 2013. I'm on CU9 and want to get to CU 13 (Policy and bitter experience indicate DONT RUN THE VERY LATEST!) but in the past, skipping too may CU's led to painful results.

Best practice in this case: do a gradual upgrade to get to the desired CU level, or download the desired CU and go for broke? After following all the directions, of course!

Thanks to all for looking!

Hi all,

Due to the POODLE vulnerability and TLS 1.0 showing as enabled on one of our external scans, we were informed that we would need to disable SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 on our Exchange server.

Apparently, this wouldn't even be possible until Update Rollup 9 was released on 3/16/15:

Rollup resolves:

KB 3029667 SMTP is not transported over TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 protocol in an Exchange Server 2010 environment

After installing this update, SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 were disabled and the servers rebooted (cross site, same domain, two Exchange servers).  After resolving some issues with certificates that apparently broke as a result of the changes, we found that EWS was not working - the log full of these errors:

Hi All,

We are looking to decommission Exchange 2010, after migrating all mailboxes to 2013, and I am still seeing a lot of connectivity in the IIS logs to one of the legacy MB servers that has the DBs mounted. I looked at the Outlook Connection Status and see that all the Outlook clients are making RPC connections to that MB server for Exchange Public Folders. My own client shows 28 requests and 3 failures. 

We don't use Public Folders at all, but we do show LegacyOutlookSupport as the PF DB on all 2013 and 2010 databases. When I do a Get-OrganizationConfig I see PublicFoldersEnabled : Local, which I believe is the default. In 2010, when Get-PublicFolder is run there is only the IPM_SUBTREE listed. When Get-PublicFolderdatabase is run it returns "LegacyOutlookSupport", and in 2013 Get-publicFolder returns nothing but get-PublicFolderDatabase reports "LegacyOutlookSupport" on the Legacy MB server. Low and behold, in 2010, Org Configuration>Mailbox>Database Management Tab there is a LegacyOutlookSupport Public Folder Database listed and mounted to the legacy MB server in question. So it makes sense clients are connecting to it.

Should I follow the steps for removing the last public folder database in this link?: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876883%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Note: When I do a Get-PublicFolderStatistics I do see 4 folders listed; 2 of which are Exchange administrative group entries, Organizational Forms Library, and Outlook Security Settings. The one Exchange admin group has 2005 items. Format-List on the command and it shows that that item was SCHEDULE+ Free Busy Information and it expired in 9/2016. The other Exchange Admin Group folder is OFFLINE ADDRESS BOOK. So if looks like at one time we had some Public Folders.

Do I need to run removal commands for these even though I don't see them in a Get-PublicFolder command?

Will my clients still try and connect to something since they are in cached mode, and will that prompt them in some way when the DB is gone? 

I have read that once the last database is gone, the references to the PF databases on the MB databases will go to NULL. 

I plan to uninstall Exchange 2010 soon after. Just need to move the arbitration mailboxes.

Thank you for reading through all this,

Jeff

I am currently trying to migrate my exchange 2007 public folders to my exchange 2013 cu14.  when running through the migration steps I'm getting errors with the Export-PublicFoldersStatistics.ps1.

Hi Guys,

Most probably I am going to deliver one project in nearest future, which included to move Mailboxes and mail data from Novel Group-wise to Exchange 2013. i want to know what should be the approach and what are the per-requisites that need to be consider to perform Migration steps in above scenario? please let me know how the mail-flow work to/from Group-wise to exchange 2013 and vice-verse. please suggest me some initial steps and URLs for this requirement. i want to be clarified logically before i suggest any solution on this to my customer.

step by step docs will be more helpful to achieve this goal..

Upgraded Lotus Notes version into newer 8.5 it has complex functionalities. These functions are not easily graspable and it takes long time to understand, I decide to export my data into another (MS Outlook) platform, is it possible, I want new updates about conversion in cost-effective manner. And if yes then suggests me the way?

Hi,

I need to migrate from Lotus Domino 8.5.3 to Exchange 2013, there's a tool to do it?
