Can I run Exchange 2013 Schema more than once

$

0
I have started in installing Exchange 2013. I ran schema update using the Exchange 2013 RTM. Should I go ahead and install Exch2013 RTm and just run the updates afterwards or should I run schema update again using the Exch2013 SP1 setup.exe?

Can't send mail from exchange 2013 to exchange 2010 and vice versa

Afternoon all.

So our company is going through a change of name, which means new tree domain and new exchange server infrastructure. We started installing exchange 2013 in the root domain but decided to hold off as the company was set to change name anyway. So..... Now have built the new domain and it works perfectly, ensured all the necessary preps have been done at the root domain. Installed exchange, no problems, exchange 2013 can see the other 2010 exchanges but cannot send or receive mail from them. I have created custom smtp connecters with the following settings:

http://2share.co.za/Files/ex1.PNG

http://2share.co.za/Files/ex2.PNG

http://2share.co.za/Files/ex3.PNG

And have created a front end transport connector on the EX2013 box with the same settings. The emails just sit in the drafts folder if you login to the user mailbox via OWA. It's highly frustrating.

Any idea how to resolve this, would be nice if MS could make their products a little more compatible with one another. Just saying MS.

Hi,

This is my third installation of Exchange 2013 server in the same forest but different Active Directory site /domain.

2 Exchange 2013 server are in one active directory site /domain i.e abc.xyz.com and this third server is in different AD site /domain i.e def.xyz.com.

To my surprise i am missing Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate on this server.It is there on rest two exchange 2013 servers. 

I am getting below warning message in event log due to this:

I am also getting one more error event which seems to be related to this:

Any idea what went wrong here and how to resolve it now...?

I have done a ton of searches trying to find a resolution to this error and there are two pages with a similar issue for Exchange 2007 but after trying the solutions suggested, the installation still fails with the same error.

Some additional information:

This is a clean installation of Exchange 2013 in a forest that has never had exchange.

The domain and forest preparations run without errors and are at functional level of 2003.

The Exchange server has all prerequisites installed for a Mailbox server role and is running on a VM with Server 2012 as the OS.

This error occurs on other VMs as well that we are trying to implement as mailbox servers in the same forest.

I am running the installation as an enterprise, schema, domain admin.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Trying to figure out of migration to Exchange 2013 is possible on a existing SBS 2008 with Exchange 2007.  If it's possible, is it support by Microsoft as well?

Thank you!

Local mailbox migration fails without warning or error

Hi all, and thinks in advance of any support.

We are running Exchange 2013 Standard Version 15.0 (Build 712.24)on Server 2008 R2 Standard
This is an upgrade from a migrated Exchange 2007

I am attempting to migrate mailboxes from the original database to a new local database on a slower storage tier.

The problem is that the mailbox (es) do not move. I am using the EMC migration GUI and setup the batch as per usual, selecting to move primary mailbox only (and not archive). The batch begins but results with 0 of 0 complete. There are also no Events logged.

I can create a new account, include it in the new DB and migrate that mailbox into whatever DB I like but a mailbox in the current DB will not move!

I’ve have checked permissions on mailboxes. 
I’ve checked for move requests and cleared any that might exist. I double checked that no type of Moverequests exist i.e. CompletedWithWarning, CompletionInProgress, Failed
I’ve tried EMC and cmdlets. 
I’ve tried archive and none archive assigned mailboxes…
Increased Bad Items limit on move
I tried new databases on different partitions. 

And still no Errors or Warnings.

I hope you can provide some guidance.

Get-ServerHealth DatabaseHealthLogGenerationRateMonitor

I've installed Exchange 2013 in a coexistence scenario with Exchange 2010. Both are single servers with all roles installed, all works well. However on the Exchange 2013 I when running get-serverhealth or get-healthreport I keep getting the messages that DatabaseHealthLogGenerationRateMonitor with HealthSetName DataProtection is unhealthy for all Exchange 2013 databases. What I can find so far is that it has to do something with DAG, which we have not implemented. How to handle this, can I disable it somehow?

Thnx Remco

Hi

Am trying to setup email (outlook for mac 2011)

Have purchased exchange account and commenced setup.

Followed instructions precisely and instructed domain host to make DNS changes as precisely listed in setup instructions.

However, I still get the following:

DNS records not found  - msoid.treoenvironment.com

The domain host swears blind they have completed the instructions and tell me that propagation is complete - they forwarded me a DNS propagation check sheet.

Any ideas at all what is going on!!

Trouble Migrating

Hello,

I have recently tried to migrate a user to another database and I am having some issues. I originally was trying to migrate the user to another database but I stopped it midway and tried to create another migration batch to move the users mailbox. Now I am getting an error saying that MigrationPermanentException: Mailbox 'X' is already being moved to "Y"

Mailbox"X" is already being moved to "Y"

I have since deleted the old Migration Batch and have not been able to figure out how to fix this problem. Any help would be appreciated I am running a VM with Server 2012 and Exchange 2013

thanks in advance

Office 365 migation from on-premise Exchange 2010 failed due to new mailbox created

$

Hello There,

We attempted to stage users to Office 365 from Exchange 2010 but the process failed due to Office 365 creating new mailbox after we initiate the license. It turned out that Office 365 will create a new mailbox if nothing in the object attribute indicates that there is already a mail-enabled object in the cloud during the licensing process. My question is what are these attributes to prevent Office 365 from creating new mailbox and recognize the mail-enabled object already exists??

Any reply is greatly appreciated.

Unable to access Exchange 2013 EAC/ECP webpage

Hi All,

Getting extremely frustrated now with a new Exchange 2013 installation on a Windows Server 2012 VM...

After having a lot of problems with the installation (didn't uninstall visual c++ which caused failure, then needed to delete the AD Microsoft Exchange System Objects group due to permission failures, etc) I've now got a fully installed Exchange server. Still, now I cannot figure out how to fix my next problem - Accessing the EAC/ECP.

I've searched every possible web guide/forum thread and the only one which is the same issue I'm having is this one: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/89c42771-78c9-4d94-88e5-557320eccc71 

Unfortunately, as you can see in that thread, it is still unresolved. 

Current Issue: trying to access https://localhost/ecp (or any other variation) returns a 404 Not Found.

The error page points the physical path to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ecp however that folder does not exist. I have tried manually changing the IIS site (Exchange Back End) to point its physical path to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\ecp which seems to be valid, however it doesn't work...

Not sure what else to do... HELP!

This is still a problem with installing CU5.

After Public Folder Migration 2010 to 2013

$
0
0

Last week I used technet page to migrate our exchange 2010 public folders over to exchange 2013. I'm still new to exchange management so I'm trying to understand what to do next.

The migration move showed 100% complete and successful and now show up as a mailbox in the 2013 admin center. I thought to myself Great! I did it. So I attempted to decommission my 2010 exchange server.

I attempted to remove my public folder database in the 2010 EMC and it tells me the database still contains folder replicas.

I found a couple options as possible fixes, either to remove it in ADSI edit or delete the files in the folder. I just want to make sure doing so won't effect the 2013 public folders.

Or should I do this a different way? Thanks in advance.

I plan to migrate user mailbox from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. However, I got one problem. One user can not be migrated successfully. Whenever, I tried it. The system shows that it is successful in the report. However, it is still in the old database. Does someone meet with such problem before.

Update Exch '13 from CU3 to SP1 taking many hours - Set-LocalPermission cmdlet at fault

$

I started an the upgrade on our Exchange 2013 Standard server last night.  It was previously on CU3 and I'm updating it to SP1.

It's been 13 hours and it's still only on step 14 of 18. 

Our server meets the minimum hardware requirements for Exchange 2013, although we are on the very low end for RAM (8 GB).  

Do others have similar experiences?  How long did it take you to install SP1?

Besides having a test environment or running high availability does anybody have tips for how to speed up this process?

EDIT:  After reviewing the logs (see my first response below) I see that the Set-LocalPermissions cmdlet is taking over an hour to run each time it's called.  Any idea why that would be?
