Hey everyone,

I've just installed Exchange 2013 on a new server and all is working great.  It is currently in coexistence with our old Exchange 2007 server.  I've since shut the server down and Exchange 2013 has been working without issue.  However, I haven't been able to find any articles on this matter so I figured I would ask the question here.

How do you remove Exchange 2007 from the coexistence.  Do I just uninstall Exchange 2007 from the old server and it will remove itself from the server and the domain?  Any help/link on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Chris

I have a hybrid setup with on premise 2010 SP3 to O365 Wave 15 and on premise 2013.  I am getting close to having all mailboxes moved off of 2010 and either into the cloud or onto the on premise 2013 server.  Once this process is complete, how do i decommission the 2010 server and move the hybrid config to 2013?  I have tried to run the hybrid config wizard on 2013 to upgrade the hybrid, but it fails with the error "ERROR : Subtask Configure execution failed: Upgrading hybrid configuration from Exchange 2010...No Inbound connector found on the Office 365 tenant.  at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Hybrid.UpgradeConfigurationFrom14Task.UpgradeFopeConnectors(ITaskContext taskContext) at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Hybrid.UpgradeConfigurationFrom14Task.Configure(ITaskContext taskContext) at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Hybrid.Engine.ExecuteSubStep(String subStepName, ITaskContext taskContext, ITask task, Func`3 substep, Func`4 createException, Boolean throwOnFalse)"

There is an inbound connector in our O365 tenant that was upgraded from FOPE to EOP by the Wave 15 upgrade.  Our hybrid config works.  I want to make sure that it continues to work after i decomm the 2010 server.  My final intent is to maintain our on premise 2013 server in hybrid config with our O365 tenant as i have some mailboxes that need to remain on premise.

I have an Exchange 2010 server on 2008 R2 that is being replaced with Exchange 2013 on 2012.

All the prerequisites have been met, the 2013 install went without error and I'm about ready to migrate the mailboxes. But I have a question about the certificate.

The 2010 server is using a GoDaddy cert for the usual reasons. To use this cert on the 2013 server, do I just export the one from Exchange 2010 and import it into Exchange 2013? Is it that simple? Sure would be nice if so!

Due to security requirements, our Exchange 2013 servers are non-internet facing. IPs will only route internally.

Is there a way to download/update the built-in 2013 Anti-malware product definitions on a regular basis?

I can't find anything regarding configuring an internet facing repository server or someone's custom scripts to accomplish this.

We do have SCCM in our environment as well if that can be leveraged in 2013.

Any and all help is appreciated!

Thank You,

Is it possible to have a single CAS server service request from the internet with Form Based Authentication, and internal clients with WindowsAuthentication using two Websites?

I've tried to set this up, but find that either one works (The FBA) and the other, though set to Windows Auth, presents a Login Form but never authenticates (tells me the password is incorrect)

OR

Windows Authentication works on one Website, whilst FBA on the other presents but never authenticates.

Otherwise it seems like you have to have an extra set of servers just to serve the internet???

Hello,

I'm having a problem to enable a wildcard certificate for Exchange 2013.
I have all 3 files for the certificate (pfx, p7b and cer), and the password for it

When I import the certificate I get a message that the import succeeded.
Import-ExchangeCertificate -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path \\localhost\Certificates\wildcard.customer.be.p7b -Encoding byte -ReadCount 0)) -PrivateKeyExportable $true -server Exchange01 -FriendlyName "owa.customer.be"

However When I perform a get-exchangecertificate I don't see the certificate in the list.
And when I try to enable services on it, I get the error below :
Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "50328DD4E2344121CFC7A78F3A49A80FE35EAB76A" -Services IMAP
> A special Rpc error occurs on server LABEX01: The certificate with thumbprint 50328DD4E2344121CFC7A78F3A49A80FE35EAB76A was found but is not valid for use with Exchange Server (reason: PrivateKeyMissing)

I've used the same certificate for our exchange 2010 environment before without any problems.

Hi all,

I'm migrating my public Folders from Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 Cu1.

I've created the two required CSV's and and a new public folder using the holdformigration switch.

When I run New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest I recieve "Couldn't connect to the source mailbox"

any ideas what the problem could be?

I know there a multiple thread on this issue, but none of the solutions have helped me yet.  Same as everyone else, i'm able to add one server to the DAG, but not two.  It does not matter which one, the second one always fails the same way.  Here is the log (same as everyone else)

2. I've re-installed servers multiple times, both the O/S and exchange 2013 Cu1

3. I had a DAG built earlier, but the vm was deleted so I had to start from scratch.  The new DAG is named something different than previous ones

4. get-databaseavailabilitygroupnetwork comes up with no problem

5. validate cluster comes back clean, only with a TTL error

6. Machine are not cloned, and both exist under hyper-v 2012 on separate servers

7. firewall is off on both machines

8. there is no A/V or 3rd part virus software on server

9 Both computers can talk to eachother

10. When I try to create the cluster manually it times out.

11. No network teaming

12. Loaded under server 2012, not 2008r2

According to this setup, devices with mailbox on Exchange 2007 should be proxied by CAS 2013 to the CAS 2007 in the right AD site
Unfortunately, Exchange 2007 mailbox mobile phones receives 503 Http status codes and Http status codes 449.

Mailboxes on Exchange 2013 works well when configured on mobile devices through ActiveSync.

Please advise on the problem.

How to import WildCard SSL Certificate into Exchange Server 2010/2013?

Hello,

I have a WildCard SSL Certificate (*.domain.com) and two freshly installed Server, one with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and another with Microsoft Exchange Server 2013.

I got Certificate in (.crt) format from Third-Party SSL Vendor.

When I try to import in Exchange Server 2010, it asks me for (.pfx). But when I open Certificate and try to "Copy to File..." , I get only (.cer) and (.P7B). How can I get (.pfx) out of it? I don't have any private key with me.

What I have is the CSR (.req) through which I ordered the (.crt).

When I try to import in Exchange Server 2013, at first it doesn't shows up and when I try again it says "already exists".

Have same issue with IIS, so due to that I am unable to setup ADFS too.

Please provide me the best solution.

Thanks,

I have just setup Exchange Server 2013 (Mailbox and Client Access Roles) on Windows Server 2012 and the domain controller is Windows Server 2003.

When i try to add new E-mail account in Outlook 2010/07, Outlook will use auto-discovery mode configure the email account.
The issue is the Microsoft Exchange Server column is c465038c-586c-44a8-84a3-26ef45b9727d@email.com instead of the server name (exchange@domain.local).

I also cannot manually configure Outlook even i used "c465038c-586c-44a8-84a3-26ef45b9727d@email.com" as Exchange server name.
Error msg: "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."

I'm able to ping exchange@domain.local.

I need to manually configure for some of the users' Outlook as their laptops are not joined domain  or OS is Home edition.

I not sure where went wrong, hope someone able to help me.

Thanks

hello,

how to decommission exchange 2010 after moving mailboxes and mail flow to 2013? Is it enough just to remove exchnange2010 from servers, or  there is something else like it was when migrating from ex2003 to ex2010?

Hello Everyone,

we're in coexistence between Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013. All is good, except that we are not able to access E2007 Public Folders from external Outlook Anywhere users, which are members of more than 70 groups. These users can successfully access E2007 PF when connected internally. They can also successfully see PF contents from outside if they are members of less than 70 groups. Exchange 2013 is published via TMG, which is passing through authentication. According to several articles, we're hitting the limits of MaxTokenSize. We set this value on: Outlook clients, TMG, E2013 and E2007 with no success. We also set MaxPacketSize to 1 to avoid splitting authentication into multiple packets. We also tried increasing HTTP header size on Exchange servers and TMG with no success. Network Monitor does not show any failures.

Outlook error is shown when the user clicks on Public Folder link: "Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance. (%DN of Exchange 2007 Server holding PF).

Any further advice will be much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Lubo

Good day, colleagues!

Have the task of organizingco-existence (no migration) ofLotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange e-mail systemsin one of the branches of the organization. More precisely, the challenge is to synchronize address books (directories) between systems.

The task is complicated by the fact that the deployed version ofExchange 2010, which is not supported by free Transporter Suite.Solutions from Quest (Dell) is great, but for the co-existence of Exchange and Lotus in one small branch of the company, we need to pay for the licenses for all Lotus mailboxesthroughout the organization, and that's serious money, as Lotus decent amount of people, despite the fact that Exchange users with a maximum couplehundred.

So we decided to consider as an alternative implementation of Exchange 2007 as described here. But unfortunately in this post all written in general terms.I would like more specific guides for the decision.

That is, for example, in this post, not a word about the fact that Exchange 2007 should be placed in a separate forest. Or am I wrong here? And we can deploy all in one forest and one domain?And if in the new forest, how to synchronize directories between Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 then?

So, tell me where I can get detailed (step-by-step) guide to read about this kind of co-existence?Or advise some other solution?

Thank you!

Here's a little background.  We just installed Exchange 2013,and want to move the mailbox database from the C:\ drive to another drive; let's call this Exchange 2013 server EXC2.  We're planning on moving the mailboxes after the database is moved to a new drive.

The Exchange 2007 is still running; let's call the Exchange 2007 server, EXC1.

When attempting the Move-databasepath command on EXC2, the Exchange 2013 server, we get an error that states that the database cannot be found on exc1, the Exchange 2007 server.  That error is correct because the database is on EXC2, Exchange 2013, and not on exc1.

Even though the EMS is running on the Exchange 2013 server and says that it is connected to the 2013 server, it attempts to perform the move on the 2007 server.

Here is a clip from the EMS

The operation couldn't be performed because object 'Mailbox Database 2065386436.edb' couldn't be found on
'Exchange 2007 FQDN.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Move-DatabasePath], ManagementObjectNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : EBBBD516,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.MoveDatabasePath
    + PSComputerName        :Exchange 2013 FQDN

Anyone seen this before where the database move attempts to move the database on another server and says the database can't be found?  And has anyone fixed it?

Thanks,
Paul
