Hi All
Need assistance regarding the above issue. Unable to bring the indexing state to healthy after upgrading to CU23.
Tried deleting the content index folder of each database and start the service.
Tried updating using catalog only option
even tried rebuilt the database using delete existing files.
But still the issue persists.
Need to upgrade 2 Exchange 2013 Edge servers from SP1 to CU23. Unable to find proper steps to follow.
Thank you to provide the proper steps and what need to be taken care before and after upgrade.
We want to update our exchange mailbox server from CU13 to CU20. We are facing below error:

We have 2 mailbox and a EDGE server in our environment. We have found that in mailbox 1, Exchange Server Service HostService is not starting. It is showing an error 1067: The Process terminated unexpectedly.

Thanks,
Setup Error 2nd time 5 of 9 after restartDear all,
Now, my exchange 2013 is version RTM (first), I want update to version CU 23.
Can I update directly from version RTM to version CU23 ? or have to update via the intermediate version. Currently, MS does not allow downloads of versions older than version 21. Please help me update the version.
Thanks you so much.
I just performed a fresh install of Exchange 2013 w/ SP1 on Windows 2012 Standard R2 which is also a domain controller in an organization that already has an Exchange 2010 server (on a separate server). When I launch the Exchange Management Shell and attempt to run "Get-ExchangeServer" I get the error "The term 'Get-ExchangeServer' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program..." I see that \\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn is loading the module name "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\bin\Microsoft.Exchange.PowerShell.Configuration.dll" (which is the correct path to that file).
I've restarted the server twice and have the same issue. Also tried doing an unattended install of just the Managment Tools since using the setup GUI didn't give me the option of uninstalling and reinstalling the Management Tools since the checkbox is greyed out. I searched the ExchangeSetup log for errors and didn't find any.
How do I get the Exchange Management Shell to register the Exchange Powershell commands? Do I need to uninstall Exchange and Re-Install?

We are going to migrate Data Center. Hence need to shut down all exchange servers in DAG.
What are the steps to perform to shut down 2 exchange server DAG and then bring them back without losing the quorum
Hi. Half way through migrating exchange 2010 to exchange 2013.
Have migrated all users mailboxes to new servers and are left with 3 mailboxes in Exchange 2010 EMC that show as "legacy Mailbox" but do not have an associated mail database.
On further inspection of the affected objects (which include the Domain administrator account) I can see in AD Users and computers Attribute editor that the user objects have the attribute msExchHomeSever referencing a long gone Exchange 5.5 Server (i.e. they were not correctly migrated to exchange 2010 from 5.5).
Can I get some advice on either adding a new database on the exchange 2010 server for each object and then migrating object to 2013 or how to remove the old exchange attributes in order that I can then create a mailbox for each and then migrate these over
to 2013
Thanks

I'm testing Exchange 2010/Exchange 2013 coexistence in a lab environment. Below is the set-up:
Exchange 2010 has 2 Exchange servers. Each server houses the CAS, mailbox and hub transport roles. There is a DAG configured and they are installed on 2008R2 servers.
Exchange 2013 also has 2 servers. Each server has the CAS and mailbox roles installed and there is also a DAG configured. These Exchange servers are installed on 2012R2.
Since installing 2013, I'm struggling getting the virtual directories configured correctly for EWS, OWA etc. Basically, I'm just looking for straight forward documentation on how the particular virtual directories should be configured for a 2010/2013 coexistence scenario. Any help in pointing me in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks.
dears,

your help is appreciated
Hello Everyone.
Basheer Syed
Hello team. I've got an interesting problem where I see event 4625 in the Security Log for my ASA. The failure reason says "Unknown user name or bad password"
Environment: Exchange 2013 CU 23, Windows Server 2012 R2, Forest + Domain functional level - 2012 R2, Load Balancers, Kerberos Authentication, No forest-to-forest trusts. Many child domains.
Issue: ASA account shows failed logon attempts in Event Viewer on the Exchange server, but not on the domain controller. It shows successful attempts on the DC, but failed attempts on the Exchange Server. NOTE: This is only happening at one site as far as
I know. There are multiple ASAs. I think this is because they are using site-based namespaces and so they delegate site-specific SPNs to the site specific ASA.
Troubleshooting done so far: Re-rolled out ASA credentials to the site Exchange Client Access Servers. Interestingly enough, once this was done, the error being reported changed from “…using a bad password” to “…using an old password.” Found and removed
stored credentials by running “rundll32 keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr” as the local system account (done by using PSExec).
Other info: Looking at the event log, it logs event ID 4625 for this ASA with a logon type of 8, which is supposedly “NetworkCleartext,” which implies that it is having issues with IIS logins using Basic Authentication. The Authentication Package in the event log info mentions using “Negotiate” and the Logon Process is “Advapi,” so I don’t see how it would be an issue with trying to use Basic Authentication. The caller process seems to be the Exchange svchost process ($env:ExchangeInstallPath\Bin\Microsoft.Exchange.ServiceHost.exe)
Hi Techies,
I am trying to install exchange 2013 on windows 2012 R2 using pypsrp client remotely but getting some role permission errors. Though I am able to install exchange 2013 using powershell on windows 2012 directly.

The forest functional level of the current Active Directory forest is not Windows Server 2003 native or later. To install Exchange Server 2013, the forest functional level must be at least Windows Server 2003 native.
Either Active Directory doesn't exist, or it can't be contacted.
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks in advance.
Hey all,
We successfully completed our migration of all user mailboxes from our on-premise Exchange 2010 server to Office 365, and would now like to decommission the on-premise Exchange 2010 server. We have a separate server that we are leaving on-premises for management, which only has the EMC and no mailbox role. But the old mailbox server should be decommissioned now. It has been turned off for weeks with no impact. We have removed the hybrid configuration. MX records and autodiscover are all moved. DirSync is in place and working.
When attempting to uninstall Exchange 2010 from the old mailbox server, we are getting the error "This mailbox database contains one or more mailboxes, mailbox plans, archive mailboxes, or arbitration mailboxes." and cannot continue. The error suggests either moving the arbitration mailbox or disabling the mailbox if this is the last server in the organization. Since we don't have any other mailbox servers, there is nowhere to move it. And disabling the mailbox makes me nervous because though this is the last on-premise server, I don't want this to affect our cloud services by assuming we are decommissioning the organization. What do we do with the system and arbitration mailboxes?
We have read the article here but it does not fulfill our specific need: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/12/05/decommissioning-your-exchange-2010-servers-in-a-hybrid-deployment.aspx
Also, and I'm not sure if this is a separate topic, how can we make sure that removing this on-premise mailbox server will not remove mail attributes from our user objects?
Thanks!
Hi,
We've migrated all user mailboxes to Office 365. I would like to retain our on-premise Exchange 2013 server to manage active directory objects (as recommended). However, I would like to delete the mailbox database in order to free disk space, and if possible remove the mailbox server role. What should I do with the arbitration and Discover Search mailboxes? Can they be migrated to Office 365? I haven't been able to find instructions on how to do that. I could move them to a new database on-premise, but would prefer to keep our local environment as lean as possible.
Thanks!
Dave
I have started migrating a batch of single user(35GB) of size, after the migration reached 8 GB, i was stuck in Syncing state for almost 4 hours now.
Provide a solution.
