Hello,

I've installed Exchange 2013 into Exchange 2010 infrastructure
[ single Exchange 2010 server; single AD site; AD = 2003 ],

Exchange 2010 has 2 databases:
1. Database with users mailboxes;    Journaling YES: Journal account.
2. Database with 1 mailbox for Journal user mentioned above:     Journaling NO.

Exchange 2013 has 1 database:
1. Database with moved users mailboxes;    Journaling YES: Journal account.

I saw that when I move mailbox from 2010 to 2013 then Journal Database INCREASES about size of MOVED MAILBOX !
I logged into Journal mailbox by OWA and didn't see any duplicate messages concerned with this mailbox user...

I'd like:
* to understand technically what happened,
* to avoid unnecessary growth of Journal Database.

I'd like not to switch off journaling for all users during mailbox move.

best regards Janusz Such

my company has exchange 2007 hub and edge and exchange 2010. I'm planning to retire all exchange 2007 first follow migrate to exchange 2013. so I have few questions as below ?

1. Do I need to unsubscribe hub 2007 from edge first before uninstall ? Currently we have 2 hubs (2007 and 2010). How can I remove hub 2007 from exchange edge server 2007 ?

2. let say once my landscape just have exchange 2010, is it installing our first exchange 2013 will impact our mail flow ? my understand there is NO impact until we switch over 'mail IP' to CAS 2013. am I correct ?

3. what is minimum requirement for co-exist with exchange 2013 for exchange 2010 ? is it enough with SP3 or I need to apply SP3 RU5 ? in deployment assistant, the requirement is SP3 RU5 but most article i read just mention SP3.

thx.

Hello Guys,

I cannot download the Exchange 2013 or Exch 2013 SP1 ISO file from the Microsoft Website.

Before downloading i have register on the Site.

Purpose of downloading the ISO is to upgrade the Active Directory Schema before installing exch server.

We get .exe file instead of ISO.

I am searching it for 2 days now no help.

Suggestion and recommendations highly appreciated.

We have Exchange 2007 installed currently (SP3, latest UR). I installed Exchange 2013 in preparation for migration, started working on configuration. After doing some digging, we realized we don't have any licensing for 2013 (miscommunication). The obvious solution is to purchase licensing for 2013, but the cost is an issue.

First questions: we do have licensing for 2010. Is there any way we can install Exchange 2010? Everything I'm reading says no, but would like confirmation. 2010 was never installed in the environment.

Second question: If I cannot install 2010, can I install a second 2007 server after 2013 has been installed (newer OS)? Safely uninstall 2013?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am in the testing stages of a cross-forest mail migration (2008 SP2 forest with exchange 2010 SP3 to 2012R2 with 2013 Sp1)

The account is prepared with the Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1, mailbox is moved (either with new-moverequest or new-migrationbatch OR from the ECP portal) user account moves without issue, no failed items. user is prompted to restart outlook, the expectation is that when the user re-opens outlook it should be pointing to their new moved mailbox. for older mailboxes this does not work. I have to go in and manually create a new profile and search for their account.

Now the interesting part. I create a new user in the new forest, user our create user script (from the mailbox forest it finds the user, creates the local user then adds mailbox and links to the user account in the new forest) once this is done,  I can wait for replication then prepare the new forest account to migration (mail enable and run Prepare-Moverquest) once I move the mailbox and reclogged in, the mailbox was pointing properly to the new exchange environment!

Any thoughts on why any older (longer then a couple days) would fail out?

any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi All,

I got an error message saying below while installing step 13 of 15: Client access role: client access front end service while installing Exchange2k13 SP1 on Windows 2k12 server.

In the Exchange setup logs i found the below 

Any suggestions?

Exchange 2013 Migration issues

Environment:
Mixed 2007 SP3 R12 and 2013 CU3. 2007 Environment was webmail.domain.com. I installed new Exchange 2013 (1 CAS, 1 Mailbox) according to:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805032(v=exchg.150).aspx. Exchange 2007 is now legacy.domain.com and Exchange 2013 CAS is webmail.domain.com.
Machine 1: Windows 8.1, not domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere external. Outlook 2013
Machine 2: Windows 7, domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere internal. Outlook 2010 SP2

I have migrated 1 user so far to Exchange 2013.

ISSUE

Apps. Installed by default are 4 apps (Bing Maps, Suggested Meetings, Unsubscribe, Action Items). I have made sure the apps are enabled in OWA and they show up in mail items on both Machine 1 (Outlook 2013) and OWA. They do not show up in Machine 2 (Outlook 2010). I'm assuming that isn't supported.
In OWA, when I go to the installed apps listing it shows all of the apps but has a broken link on the image describing the app.
When I click the app in either Outlook 2013 or in OWA, I get "APP ERROR, Sorry we can't load the app. Please make sure you have network and/or internet connectivity. Click "Retry" once you're back online.
Current workaround is just disabling them through OWA.

Hi Guys

I have two domains

example.com.au

example-it.com.au 

and two wild card certificates

*.example.com.au

*.example-it.com.au

I've used import-certificate to import both of these onto a brand new exchange server 2013 and then changed my host file to point the FQDN at this server.

However, of the two domains only 1 seems to have a valid certificate..

How can I make sure both of them work?

Hi All i am new to Exchange 2013 and i am struggling to get past the 2 errors i am getting whilst trying to install on our Windows Server 2012, please don't thrash me for asking this but can anyone help me resolve these following errors.

thank you...

I have resolved all the Prerecquisites and then go through the setup and installation but get to the step 1 of 8 Mailbox role and transport service and get these..........

Hello,

We've recently set up Exchange 2013 and we've successfully migrated our users mailbox from 2010 to a database in 2013. There were two users that failed to migrate. Ever since then, every time I try to individually migrate them, it says:

Migration batch user migration 13 has completed successfully.
________________________________________
Synced: None  <--- Says it worked but as you can see there were no mailboxes synced
Total mailboxes: None  <--- 0 Mailboxes completed

When I try it again and refresh the Mailbox status under the batch name, it never shows the Mailbox syncing, the field just stays blank until it says that once again its completed successfully.

Things I've Tried:

• Migrating it using powershell instead (didn't work). Tried with verbose too and nothing shows up as it fails
• Migration limit is set to unlimited and set the error count to 1000.
• Tried Restarting the MS Exchange Mailbox Migration Service (didn't work)
• Tried migrating users to a different database on the new server (didn't work)
• Tried migrating users to a different database on the same server (didn't work)
• Tried creating a new user with a new mailbox on exchange 2010 and then migrating it to a 2013 database (worked)
• Checked event viewer, and logs on the exchange server, there wasn't anything revealing
• Tried clearing the ADSI attributes associated to moving mailboxes for the users.(didn't work)
• Tried a couple of other things not worth mentioning.

This isn't a remote migration, its on the same domain, but from one server's database to a new server's database

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm not quite sure what else to try.

Regards,

Bojan

So I am preparing to do a cross forest exchange move, Exchange 2010 in a 2008 Forest to Exchange 2013 in a 2012 forest. normal move requests work without issue. When attempting to do a new-MigrationBatch command though, the cmdlet completes successfully but when you check the move request the AllowLargeItems is set to false.

I have set the LargeItemLimit in both the batch CSV and from the Cmdlet itself, this works (the large item count is set right) but the Allow is not changed to true, so all move requests in that batch skip large items. Has anyone else experience this or can they confirm this happens to them when using a migration batch (not sure if the cross forest piece has any play in it or not)

Thanks in advance!

Powershell that is being used to star  the batch

New-MigrationBatch -Name BatchName -SourceEndpoint <EndPoint> -TargetDeliveryDomain <SMTP-Domain> -CSVData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("BATCH.csv")) -AutoStart -NotificationEmails "Email.address" -DomainController <DC> -AllowIncrementalSyncs $true -BadItemLimit 50 -LargeItemLimit 200 

I am trying to use this utility to move the emails/contacts/etc. in some of my local PST files into an email account on Exchange Online (the cloud) through Office 365.

I have set up the "Online Connection Settings" and have connected successfully using the "check" button to my Office 365 global administrative account.

Next I added my PST file using the  "Add from Folder..." button.

The problem is that when I click on "Set mailbox..."( to direct the emails/contacts/etc. to be added to the correct email address in my company) the list never loads, it simply says "The Central Service is retrieving the mailbox data, try again in a moment".

It has been like this for several hours and shows no signs of change.

I need to be able to load .pst files from my old domain into the exchange cloud and NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. This means actually importing the emails, not just adding the .pst file to Outlook.

Please advise why the tool cannot find my company's email addresses and how to fix.

-Joe

P.S: I have already posted this in the Office 365 forums, they gave me the "not officially supported" nonsense and sent me here.

I have a new Exchange 2013 server with plans to migrate from my current Exchange 2007 Server. I installed Exchange 2013 SP1 and the only errors I saw in the event log seemed to be long standing known issues that did not indicate an actual problem (based on what I read online). I updated to CU7 and now lots of errors have appeared (although the old ones seem to have been fixed so I have that going for me). Currently the Exchange 2013 server is not in use and clients are still hitting the 2007 server.

Issue 1)

After each reboot I get a Kernel-EventTracing 2 error.  I cannot find anything on this on the internet so I have no idea what it is.

Session "FastDocTracingSession" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035

I did read other accounts of this error with a different name in the quotes but still can’t tell what this is or where it is coming from.

Issue 2)

I am still getting 3 MSExchange Common 106 errors even after reregistering all of the perf counters per this page:

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2870416?wa=wsignin1.0

One of the perf counters fails to register using the script from the link above.

66 C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Setup\Perf\InfoWorkerMultiMailboxSearchPerformanceCounters.xml

But that one seems unrelated to the ones that still throw errors.  The three remaining errors are (the forum is removing my spacing between the error text so it looks like a wall of text - sorry):

Issue 3)

I appear to have some issues related to the healthmailboxes.  I get MSExchangeTransport 1025 errors for multiple healthmailboxes.

SMTP rejected a (P1) mail from 'HealthMailbox23b10b91745648819139ee691dc97eb6@PBJFS.local' with 'Client Proxy <my server>' connector and the user authenticated as 'HealthMailbox23b10b91745648819139ee691dc97eb6'. The Active Directory lookup for the sender address returned validation errors. Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ProviderError

I reran setup /prepareAD to try and remedy this but I am still getting some.

Issue 4)

I am getting an MSExchange RBAC 74 error.  Trying to chase it down with get-serverhealth I find that a monitor called RpsDeepTestPSProxyMonitor is unhealthy. I attempted:

Invoke-MonitoringProbe RPS\RpsDeepTestPSProxyMonitor -Server valis | Format-List

Which resulted in:

WARNING: Could not find assembly or object type associated with monitor identity 'RPS\RpsDeepTestPSProxyMonitor'. Please ensure that the given monitor identity exists on the server.

There are other items listed as unhealthy as well.

Issue 5)

I am getting MSExchange Assistants 9042 warnings on both databases.

Service MSExchangeMailboxAssistants. Probe Time Based Assistant for database Database02 (c83dbd91-7cc4-4412-912e-1b87ca6eb0ab) is exiting a work cycle. No mailboxes were successfully processed. 2 mailboxes were skipped due to errors. 0 mailboxes were skipped due to failure to open a store session. 0 mailboxes were retried. There are 0 mailboxes in this database remaining to be processed.

Some research suggested this may be related to deleted mailboxes however I have never had any actual user mailboxes on this server. If they are healthmailboxes or arbitration mailboxes that might make sense but I am unsure of what to do on this.

Issue 6)

I am getting an MSExchange CmdletLogs error 8.

(PID 3120, Thread 14) Task Get-HealthReport throwing unhandled exception: System.ArgumentException: sessionState

   at Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.Task.<BeginProcessing>b__4()

   at Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.Task.InvokeNonRetryableFunc(Action func, Boolean terminatePipelineIfFailed). 

This is probably related to the healthmailboxes issue number 3 above. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Issue 7)

At boot I am getting an MSExchange ActiveSync warning 1033

I don't know why but this forum is removing some of my spacing that would make parts of this easier to read.

Can I federate my Exchange 2013 system with a partner also running Exchange 2013 without either of us federated to Azure?

Tom

Has anyone tried to install CU7 on a server running CU6? I just keep getting an error. The install process seems to disable the Exchange services and then errors out because it cannot start the MS Exchange Service Host service. I'm running Exchange 2013 CU6 on Windows Server 2012 R2 in a two-node DAG.

I was able to force the installation to work by running...

Get-Service | where-object {$_.DisplayName -like "Microsoft Exchange*"} | Set-Service -StartupType Manual

each time the setup changed to a different step.

The install seem to work fine on my second DAG node.
