Unable to access Exchange 2013 EAC/ECP webpage

$
0
0

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!

Legacy Exchange 2003 still shows up

$

Hi Exchange Experts,

My predecessor upgraded Exchange from 2003 to 2010. I am about to upgrade it to Exchange server 2013.   I still see 2003 server when I do get-exchangeserver | fl name. Probably, he didn't decommissioned correctly.

When I go to ASIEDIT, it only shows
CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL
CN=Services
CN=Microsoft Exchange
CN=First Organization

Will this be a problem while upgrading to 2013? Do I need to do anything ?

 Thanks,

IMAP stopped working after CU10

IMAP crashed and not working after applying the CU10 on top of Exchange 2013 CU10. I read the KB that "This issue occurs because Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) does not support the generic security services application programming interface (GSSAPI) as an authentication mechanism in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment "

and I tried to enable Set-IMAPSettings –EnableGSSAPIAndNTLMAuth:$FALSE

and no luck, still IMAP asking for a credentials again and again. POP is working fine.
I can see the IMAP protocol log, there are msgs

"IN:9933:SSL;ErrMsg=ProxyNotAuthenticated;LiveIdAR=OK""

"authenticate,NTLM,"R=""l7z2 NO AUTHENTICATE failed."";"

the IMAP settings are

Cumulative11 update on exchange 2013 server

Hi,

Myself Sandeep Bhat from Windlas Biotech Ltd. I am looking for the support for updating CU11 on exchange 2013 server.

Current version is: Exchange 2013, CU6

Product version: 15.00.995.29

Release date: 26-Aug-2014

Just want to understand if we directly update CU11 on the server, what will be the changes and is there any impact on current exchange configuration.

Search on SAM Account Name in Offline Address Book

$

0

Hopefully a simple question someone can answer for me.

Within our environment alias does not match SAMAccountName. When using OWA or Online mode, typing in the SAMAccountName into the To field will happily find the user from what I understand by using Ambiguous Name Resolution (ANR).

Unfortunately when using Cached mode, and thus the Offline Address Book, this doesn't work. Is there a way of enabling SAMAccountName searching within the OAB? I am aware we can force cached mode to use the online address book for searching, but that kind of kills the point of Cached Mode and the OAB.

Environment is Exchange 2013 Enterprise currently at CU9

Thanks

Default Policy cannot be managed by the current version of Exchange Management Console

Hi 

I have a problem modifying exchange 2013 default email address policies after removing an old exchange 2003 server.

I probably forgot to remove the mailbox manager policy from the old server and find myself in a situation where I want to modify the default email address policy using ECP in exchange 2013.

I was trying to add another email address format and set it as the default reply email address and I got this error:

  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error:
The object ?Default Policy?cannot be managed by the current version of Exchange Management Console, please use a management console with the same version as the object ?0.0 (6.5.6500.0)? 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------



I followed the following article using adsiedit.msc:

https://goo.gl/r5aaRI

But there are no EC entries in my MsExchPolicyOptionList value and MsExchMailboxManagerFolderSettings attibute is not set.

Can't get past this error.

Any ideas? I am desperate.

Is there a way to remove the current default email address policy and create a new deault one?
Or can I change the GatewayProxy value to the one I want setup?

Thanks and regards

Dear all,

I have a exchange 2013 environment that I want to delete, because all the mailboxes are migrated to Exchange Online.

When I try to remove Ex2013, i receive following error

Uninstall can't continue. Errors:

This mailbox database contains one or more mailboxes, mailbox plans, archive mailboxes, public folder mailboxes or arbitration mailboxes. To get a list of all mailboxes in this database, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database <Database ID>. To get a list of all mailbox plans in this database, run the command Get-MailboxPlan.

There is one mailbox SystemHealth and that's an arbitration mailbox.
I can't remove this mailbox because I receive the following error

Couldn't disable the arbitrationmailbox because it is associated with existing recipients for whick membership restriction of approval is required or the moderation feature is enabled.

Can somebody help me out with this?

Exchange 2010 + Office 365 hybrid migration to Exchange 2013 (or 2016) + Office 365 hybrid

$

Hi, 

Could you please help on the following scenario?

We have an MS Exchange 2010 on-premises server and an Office 365 hybrid environment at the moment.

Now, we need to migrate the MS Exchange server to 2013 or 2016 version. The new server is located in a different location geographically. After this happened we need to remove the 2010 server from the organization.

Unfortunately I didn't find any article what contains exactly this scenario (hybrid migration on different locations).

My questions:

Is the geographically distance make any different compared with a migration what happen on one site?

Is it possible to keep the hybrid server settings during the migration?

If there is any article about the hybrid server migration scenario what I can follow, please let me know.

What do you suggest for this task? Exchange 2013 or 2016?

If I am correct the hybrid connection settings are reset after the new server is added to organization. Could somebody please suggest any solution to back up and restore this settings? I have no really to much information where can I find these settings.


About the current setup: 

There are mailboxes on the Exchange server and on the cloud also. The primary SMTP server is the Exchange 2010 server.

The Office 365 is synchronized on the local domain controllers, users are managed on the local DCs.

Very much appreciated for any help!




Migration recommendations Exchange 2007 - 2013 or Exchange 2007 - 2010 - 2016?

$
0
0

I am the proud new owner of my organizations Exchange environment. We are running 2007 SP3 which I understand there is no direct upgrade path to 2016 for.

My question is should I upgrade us to 2010 so that we can move to 2016, or should I just go straight to 2013? We will be running a Hardware refresh cycle in spring of 2017, and 2007 is already outside of mainstream support. If I push for us to go 2013 now we can easily do that with our existing hardware, but if we move to 2010 then waiting 1.5-2 years for hardware and I may not get approval for 2016 - a tough call.

Obviously fewer upgrades would be easier on me from a time perspective, but I'm not so much worried about that as I am about getting this environment stable (inheritance is a grand thing). So, recommendations? Also, any tools to make it easier that anyone could recommend would totally rock!

Thanks in advance.

Exchange server installed but not in get-exchangeserver list

$

Hi
A bit of a new-year challenge for anyone into Exchange server.

We are migrating from a Windows Small Business Server 2011 to Windows 2012R2 + Exchange 2013 on premise. Something I have done successfully for several clients over the past 2 years.

So I had a working WS2012R2 fully Windows updated as of last night, joined to the domain, Exchange prerequisites installed and all ready to install Exchange this morning.

This morning Exchange installed, it seemed happy enough with the install, we could access ECP web page happily and running powershell said that it was 'connected' to our new EX13 server. However when I run 'get-exchangeserver' only the Exchange 2010 server shows in the list, not the Exchange 13. Part of the problem with this is that powershell also didn't recognise the existence of the mailbox database, so trying to eg. move the edb path would fail. I forced it with 'configonly' or similar switch and manually moved the files, but I wasn't happy with the situation. Various attempts to repair and such didn't get very far until a force-delete of the PRogram files\Microsoft\Exchange Server folder

Eventually I ditched the new Exchange 2013 server install, reinstalled WS2012, re-install prerequisites and installed exchange in /m:recoverserver (and by the way /iacceptmicrosoftexchangeserverterms is a ridiculous switch to have to type so many times!). This time, following some advice I saw, I copied the install files to a local disk instead of installing Exchange from UNC. Same result, the server isn't listed and nor is the database in powershell, despite them both being listed and happy in the ECP.

As far as I can tell there are no network issues, AD is syncing and replicating happily between SBS11 and WS2012R2 (separate WS2012 to the Exchange install, obviously). I should also note that the download from the Action Pack site for Exchange SP1 wouldn't complete, so again following advice I found online I simply extracted the EX13 CU11 files and installed from there, IE not from an ISO download.

Anyone think of anything to try next?

Thanks

== Minor Update ==

Running get-exchangeserver -identity <myEx13Server> DOES return information, but still not showing in get-exchangeserver get-mailboxdatabase. I might have found an AD replication issue on one of my DCs but looking in ADSI Edit on that server, the Exchange13 server does show up under the administrative group, and also that server replicates without issue via AD Sites and Services. Thanks.

Internal client unable to connect to Exchange 2013 in coexistence with Exchange 2010

Hello,

We have installed 2 new Exchange 2013 CU10 servers in our Exchange 2010 organization. We are now in coexistence phase. We need to proceed with the change with internal and external namespaces. When we proceed with the change of internal namespace Outlook clients are unable to connect or stay connected. Ultimately, the outlook client will stop responding. I can see that outlook client is trying to establish a connection but fails. It will continue to connect and disconnect for about 500 tries and stops responding. I have the same problem with Outlook 2010, 2013 and 2016.

All external mailflow and activesync functions correctly.

I have tried redirecting internal clients to both Exchange 2013 servers to eliminate a single server not properly configured.

Can someone help out?

Thanks,

Upgrade from 2007 to 2013

I have an Exchange 2007 environment (Edge - Hub/CAS) that I will upgrade to Exchange 2013 in the near future (on-premises). I am using the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exdeploy2013/Checklist?state=2419-W-AAAAAAAAQAAAAAEAAAAAAAA%7e) and checking out the various steps in the checklist. Presently, my MX record points to a cloud-based spam filter (MXGuarddog) which forwards all non-spam email to my edge server.

How will this affect the mail flow during the transition steps mentioned in the checklist, mainly the existence of legacy and new servers?

Thanks for the input!

Fine tuning migration from 2007-2013 and estimating migration times

$
0
0

Migrating from 2007 to 2013. Last night we attempted to migrate 1000 small mailboxes totalling something like 5Gb total.

Estimated this at around 7 hours. BUT its 20 hours and still going.

We've based our estimate on mailbox sizes which I dont think is correct. (i.e. 1000 mailboxes total 10Gb same as 1 mailbox 10Gb). Looks like number of mailboxes adds a large overhead.

Questions:-

1. Is there a procedure/tool to allow some sort of estimates of mailbox migrations to be produced?

2. Are there any recommendations/tuning suggestions for migrations? (i.e. max number of mailboxes migrated in parallel etc).

2007-2013 migration - log files during migration?

$

Apart from the console, where I can see finalised and failed totals as the migration runs, are there any log files that can be looked at to see how things are progressing?
