Hybrid - An IIS directory entry couldn't be created. The error message is The remote procedure call failed.

Hi everyone,

I am currently experiencing issues when running the HCW, which throws the following error at the very end:

[02/06/2015 15:09:21]    INFO : Task='Configure MRS Proxy Settings' Step='NeedsConfiguration' START

We currently have a deployment of Exchange 2007 and 2013 servers across the world (coexistence between the two is working fine). At the moment, I am trying to configure 3 Exchange 2013 servers in London as our Hybrid servers (these servers are multi-role and also host users mailboxes).

Manually running Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory takes ages to run as it is normal in global deployments.

Initially, Exchange 2007 servers were not members of the Exchange Trusted Subsystem group (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2995725/en-us). However, after fixing this, the issue remains.

All requirements for hybrid are in place (certificate, virtual directories on the hybrid servers are configured correctly and available externally, DNS, etc). I ran the Hybrid Configuration Diagnostic tool but none of the warnings are relevant for this.

Any help is much appreciated! Thank you so much.

Best regards,
Nuno

Hi.

After upgrading to SP1 for Exchange 2013, I keep getting this error:

-----

Event 2001, MSExchange RPC Over HTTP Autoconfig

A transient failure has occurred. The problem may resolve itself in a while. The service will retry in 00:00:15. Message:

Filename:
Error: Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'path' set to 'C:\Windows\System32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll'

'It does not seem to be causing any problems, but it is annoying to have this error log every 15 seconds.

Unfortunately I do not know anything about IIS, but it seems to be where problems is.

Anybody know how to fix this?

Migrating 2 exchange 2010 servers with dag to 2013 - planning

$
0
0

Our current setup as follows: EX01 2010 (hub, transport, mailbox)   EX02 2010 (mailbox)  with dag setup. 

The goal to migrate our environment to 2 2013 servers both having all 3 roles and DAG and CAS array using round robin for failover - to ensure redundancy and High avaliability with minimum down time.

I'm looking for step by step plan.  So far here is what I have:

1. Install server 2012 with Exchange 2013 with mailbox role only

2. Stop DAG replication and dismount databases on EX02 (passive copies) mount databases on EX 2013

3. Stop mailbox role on EX01 and point it to EX 2013

4. Install Transport Role and CAS array (Proxy?) on  EX 2013

5. Stop Transport and CAS services on EX 01 and remove ex 2010 from the environment

6. Install another copy of EX 2013 on separate server and create dag and CAS array between them

This is just a idea that I have and I realize that there are some steps that I'm missing. I would be grateful if some exchange pros would fill in the blanks. Also looking for some good articles to read. The problem is that every environment is different and its hard to find exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you

Deploy Exchange 2013 with 3 servers in 2 locations

$
0
0

We are having too much Exchange network traffic going between our 2010 CAS at a remote data center and our local workstations, so we would like to have an internal CAS when we migrate to 2013.  We would like internal email to be able to flow without sending any traffic out across the WAN.

Current Layout:

Local office: single exch2010 server with mailbox and hub transport.  domain controllers and dns servers are also in local office

Remote data center: single exch2010 server with only CA role (uses domain controller/dns in local office)

Is it possible to migrate that old layout above to this new plan below?

local office: single exchange 2013 server with CAS and mailbox role

data center: 2 multi role Exchange 2013 servers with CAS, mailbox and hub transport behind a load balancer. Plus local domain controller and dns server to be  installed in data center.

We would like to have a 3 member DAG with one DAG member in our local office and the other 2 in the data center.

We would like our desktop PCs to use the internal CAS and mailbox server and remote users to use the servers in the data center so that we can greatly cut our local office LAN network i traffic related to  internal emails and only send traffic out to the data center when sending/receiving mail from external users.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Add Mailbox Role to my First Exchange Server CAS Role

Hello I made a mistake I didn't check the Mailbox Role during the installation so I just installed the 1st Exchange Server 2013 SP1 into my organization with the CAS Server Role… can I add the Mailbox Server Role after doing this? Or do I have to decommission this server to start a new installation within a Multi role Server (Mailbox/CAS)???? 

Thanks for the Help

Exchange 2013 Edge Transport install fails

I'm trying to install the Edge Transport for Exchange 2013 but it gets to step 7 of 9:

then give's the following error

Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
 new-ExchangeServer

" was run: "Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: Cannot get child of ADObjectId: this is a GUID based ADObjectId.".

Then in event viewer I have the following two events.

Watson report about to be sent for process id: 260, with parameters: E12IIS, c-RTL-AMD64, 15.00.0847.032, ExSetupUI, M.E.Data.Directory, M.E.D.D.ADObjectId.GetChildId, System.ArgumentNullException, 2ac6, 15.00.0847.031.

and

Error: Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
 new-ExchangeServer

" was run: "Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: Cannot get child of ADObjectId: this is a GUID based ADObjectId.".

I've rebuilt the server but since it has something to do with the GUID I assumed it wouldn't work but I was grasping at straws and it didn't fix the issue.

I can run the setup again and it does finish but it doesn't show up in the list of servers in the ecp management. I've yet to find a solution on this issue if anyone has a suggestion or two it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear All,

I am starting the migration of Exchange 2010 2 servers (CAS/Mailbox) with DAG no CAS Array to Exchange 2013 with 2 servers CAS array and 2 Mailbox servers with DAG. I read on some blogs that no requirement of CAS array on Exchange 2013. My concern how to configure NLB on CAS servers for the client to connect.

Please guide and have any deployment guide for this, kindly share.

Exchange 2013+Wildcard SSL=External URL not working

$
0
0

Hello,

We have 1 Exchange 2013 server sitting in the company LAN.

hostname: exch.domain.com

CNAME is configured as mail.domain.com and internal clients can connect to both

External clients cannot access our OWA via HTTPS. Internally all services are working fine and users are able to access OWA.

When a client connects to 

https://mail.domain.com/owa - accessed from an Internet - does not work

https://mail.domain.com/owa - accessed from an LAN - works fine

Diagnostics so far:

Wireshark:

External client connects and sends ClientHello packet but server is not responding with ServerHello. Clients retry several times and then it's timing out. On a client's web browser, it shows "Cannot display the page"

ECP:

All  virtual directories have External URL configured with correct URL for example OWA has https://mail.domain.com/owa

"Configure external access domain" option: I cannot add my local exchange as CAS. When I click on save, it goes to blank boxes.

SSL

We use wildcard certificate from Comodo that has been regenerated already but it did not make any difference.

There are no SSL errors when exchange web services are access locally so I would assume that SSL is working fine.

Event logs

no SSL errors 

NAT/Network/Firewall

port 443 is open and mapped to the exchange server. Windows firewall is off.

I am sure that there is something obvious that I have been missing.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mail server not working after moving the server

$

This weekend we moved our mail server. After many troubles with copying we managed to get it running on the new host (ESXi5.5).

For the mail server we opened ports 80, 443, 135 and 25. All dns records point to the new IP. I also recreated the recursive lookup zone for the new internal ip.

Yet, mail flow is not working while I can connect and login on owa and connect with Outlook from both inside and outside the network. Internal mail, even from and to the same address is not working.

This is the first time we moved a mail server and we might have missed something. Any ideas where to look?

I have been reading a bunch of links on setting up a Windows 2012 R2 server to house Exchange Server standard 2013.   My company is small  <100 mailboxes.  My thought was to have two disk volumes.  Let's call them C: and D:.  I was planning on installing the operating system on the C: drive and all of the Exchange system on the D: drive (configured as a Raid 10 drive).  Does this make sense or should I be doing something else.

TIA for ideas.

Exchange 2013 - Cannot remove DataBase due to Arbitration Mailboxes

$

Dear Experts,

I'm running MS Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 R2.  I am cleaning/merging databases and have ran into a problem due to the arbitration mailboxes.  I am unable to delete a database because of the arbitration mailboxes.  

First, I identified all the mailboxes in the DB I wanted to move (DB01)

Get-Mailbox -Database "DB01" -Arbitration

I did the below to move the arbitration and user mailboxes to a different DB

Get-Mailbox -Database "DB01" | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase "DB02"

Get-Mailbox -Database "DB01" - Arbitration | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase "DB02"

The move was successful, but I was unable to delete DB01 because of an error related to the arbitration mailboxes when I attempted to delete it.

After researching this problem I used

Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | Set-Mailbox -Arbitration -Database "DB02"

I have verified the active arbitration mailboxes are on DB02 by using

Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | Ft Name, Database

Currently DB01 is dismounted and from what I can tell not doing anything except eating up a license.  Arbitration mailboxes still reside on DB01, but they are not active.  If anyone has any experience on how I can force the deletion of this database or remove the arbitration mailboxes for good it would make my boss and I so happy.  Thanks to everyone in advance.



Exchange 2013 coexistence with Exchange 2010 that is using SSL offloading?

Hello,

Soon I will be introducing Exchange 2013 servers into an Exchange 2010 environment that has been configured for SSL offloading according to this article. I haven't found any migration documentation that specifically mentions considerations for coexistence when 2010 is using SSL offloading. After I cut over my namespaces to the 2013 servers will there be any issues with traffic proxied from Exchange 2013 (not using SSL offloading) to 2010 that is offloading SSL?

Extending Schema from different AD Site?

$
0
0

Hi Team,

I would like to clarify on Extending Schema from different AD site.

Question 1 : Can we extend the Schema from a member server from different AD site by using the Domain Controller Parameter? 

Setup /PS /IAcceptExchageServerLicenseTerms /Domaincontroller:Server1.XYZ.local

Note: Server1.XYZ.local has Schema Master role in different AD site.

**********************************************************************************************

Before you extend your schema, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • The account you're logged in as needs to be a member of the Schema Admins and Enterprise Admins security groups.

  • The computer where you'll run the command to extend the schema needs to be in the same Active Directory domain and site as the schema master.

  • If you use the DomainController parameter, make sure to use the name of the domain controller that's the schema master.

  • The only way to extend the schema for Exchange is to use the steps in this topic or use Exchange 2013 Setup. Other ways of extending the schema aren't supported.
