Exchange Hybrid - Office 365 Licences

Hi, I hope someone is able to answer these few questions. I have a company who is looking to purchase either Office 365 Business Essentials, Exchange Plan 1 or Exchange Plan 2 licences. I am looking at a Hybrid to migrate their email as this would be the better option for them.

1. If the company has any of the above licences is it possible to configure a Hybrid?

2. Are there any additional licence requirements? If so, what are they?

3. With these Office 365 licences is it possible to request an Exchange Hybrid Edition product key?

Many thanks in advance,

Exchange 2013 CU1 "Exchange 2007 Service Pack 3" Prerequisite mystery

May 31, 2013, 8:35 am

I  can't seem to get an Exchange 2013 install  to recognize that the Exchange 2007 on the network is honest to goodness SP3 rollup 10.

Our current server runs SBS 2008.  I have Exchange 2007 fully updated with Service Pack 3 and Rollup 10. I've gone back and  verified it under Program and in the Shell and Console. It says Rollup 10 is installed and the build number is 8.3.298.3. 

The new server is a separate box with Microsoft 2012 Standard. I have 3  virtual servers running via hyper-V--one as a second DC, one with Sharepoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012, and one for Exchange 2013. All are currently pointed to SBS server as the DNS server (the second DC also points to itself as an alternative).  The SBS 2008 Server still has all the FSMO roles

The first two haven't been a problem with setting up, but for the Exchange install constantly fails with just one Error:

 [REQUIRED] All Exchange 2007 servers in the organization must have Exchange 2007 SP3 or later installed. The following servers don't meet this requirement: [MySBSServerName]

 The domain level is 2003, (I haven't read advice to bump it up, but it wouldn't be a problem if I had to).  I am using the Exchange 2013 CU1 for the install, which should coexist with 2007. . Once everything is finished and everyone moved over, I'll transfer the main roles to the new DC and retire the SBS server.

 Could this error be because it's a SBS server? Has anyone encountered this or could point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

Hello,

I have strange problem with my fresh Exchange 2013 Multi-tenant setup (Cu1), the public folder doesn't appear in Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2010 (not a problem with Ctrl+6) but I can see it in Outlook 2007 and with OWA perfectly. I use autodiscover and testexchangeconnectivity.com tell me that all my config is all-right.

Help will be much appreciate !


Thanks.

Chinese characters in e-mail body text

Hi,

After installing CU14 @ Exchange 2013, random mails in Outlook gets their body text converted, when they click reply / forward on mails.

Office 2013 is full updated, running at Server 2012 R2.
Added GPO for setting uni-code to UTF-8.
Added "<add key="DisableDetectEncodingFromMetaTag" value="true" />" so EdgeTransport.exe.config

Nothing has fixed this yet. Any suggestions are very welcome.

X-OWA-Error: Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.NotSupportedWithServerVersionException can't access 2007 mailbox from 2013 server

This one is driving me absolutely crazy,  hours and hours spent on this with no luck.  This is 2007/2013 env.  The issue is, if I move a mailbox to 2007 then 2013 OWA is fine, then if I move the mailbox back to 2007 I can't access the mailbox via OWA when going through a 2013 CAS server.  yes I've read the posts about permissions inheritance etc.. yes I've cranked up AD and OWA logging nothing.. yes I've imported the IIS logs into log parser and I'm seeing various errors mostly 302.  Yes, I've ruled out 2007 servers, it's 2013.  If I recreate the mailbox it works then when move back and forth from 2007 to 2013 problem re-appears.  Yes, I have dumped AD attributes and compared them with working and non working mailbox can't find anything.  Yes, I've rebooted servers.  Yes this happens with multiple mailboxes.

In fact I have this example right now makes no sense.  I have two 2013 servers, if I go through the 2013 servers CAS servers to access the mailbox using OWA that resides on the 2007 server, it works through one server and the other it doesn't with the above errors.  I'd love to hear suggestions.. I'm at the end of my rope

Provision a new site with CAS server precvent autodiscovery - Exchange 2013

I'm setting up a new data center. I have created a new mailbox server and replicated all databases in the DAG. I'm about to bring a new CAS server online at that location. Does anyone know how I can install the new CAS server without it responding in autodiscovery until I have completed the work.  I want to make sure no one gets certificate errors or anything while I get all of the external certs registered. We have split DNS internally and use owa.mycompany.com for everything both internal and external. We do not have a load blanancer, just DNS round Robin.

Different take on: "WARNING: Database is mandatory on UserMailbox" problem

December 13, 2016, 1:39 am

Hi all,

I've been running a cross-forest AD and E2010 to E2013 on-prem migration for a couple of months now, and have already migrated many hundreds of computer accounts, user accounts and mailboxes. Last night when attempting to migrate the latest batch of users& mailboxes I hit this problem and it so far has me stumped:

My process for users & mailboxes is:

1. Run the prepare-moverequest.ps1 script to create the disabled MEU's in the target forest. This works a treat.
2. Run a new-moverequest for batches of mailboxes with -suspendwhenreadytocomplete enabled to get a batch to 95%
3. On the appointed migration date, run ADMT user migration to update the target MEU - match & merge the account, add SIDHistory, copy the password, enable the account etc.
4. Resume the auto-suspended move request to complete the mailbox move for the user. As its only the last 5% plus deltas, this normally finished pretty quickly, and the user is all set to logon the following morning in the target forest.

This process has served me well and has succeeded for getting close to a thousand users & mailboxes. However, last night it broke... Now when I run ADMT it immediately, consistently and repeatably corrupts the target MEU object and the in-progress move request, and the only action I have found that "fixes" it, is to delete the target MEU object completely and start again at point 1... but as I said, the error will reoccur as soon as I catch up to point 3 again.

I have found that if I swap around steps 3 & 4 - i.e. resume the mailbox move, and let it run to 100% completion *before* I run ADMT to update the MEU object, then all appears to be OK as far as I can tell. Whilst that is a "workaround", it isn't an ideal solution, since the migration process is heavily scripted and is predicated on running the steps in the order listed above.

When I have objects in this corrupted state, any mailbox move currently in the queue that is in any state other than completed is immediately corrupted. I cannot resume it - I cannot even move it... every EMS cmdlet (including all moverequest and all mailbox cmdlets) that references the affected mailbox displays the "WARNING: Database is mandatory on UserMailbox" message.

These are standard user mailboxes, NOT system health or arbitration mailboxes. I see the web is literally awash with references to this error message, but very much of the time it's linked to those system mailboxes... even more concerningly, the only "solution" that I've so far seen to "fix" the issue is to delete and recreate the affected mailbox, which I'd prefer not to do.

I've done side-by-side comparison of attribute values of corrupted & non-corrupted MEU objects. I can see no obvious attribute value missing on affected users... all have a correctly populated HomeMDB attribute, and no mailbox databases are being removed..

The only other change in behaviour that I can focus on as a suspect is that ADMT has suddenly become unable to make the target accounts enabled due to non-complex passwords that aren't compliant with the target password policy. This has previously not been an issue, and is giving me reason to wonder if someone (it wasn't me!) has recently implemented or enabled password complexity rules in the target forest, which I am endeavouring to look into now.

But... - could the password problem & ergo the target MEU not becoming enabled be the cause of the issue with corrupting the target MEU object and the moverequest? - and if so, why? Obviously since this is the only other obvious & observable change in the environment, the troubleshooting handbook, page 1 says we must consider that as a possibility, and I will most certainly be investigating that until I either exclude it or confirm it to be related...

Note that once the MEU object has got itself in this corrupted state, resetting the password on the MEU & enabling it at that point does not help, I *have* to delete the MEU & start again clean.

I would very much like to know:

a) What is this darned "WARNING: Database is mandatory on UserMailbox" error referring to, what attribute does it not like?
b) Is there another fix for the target object other than deleting it? everything I've thought of/tried so far has failed.

Any help / thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

TIA

How to configure vm and storage for Exchange 2013 w/ DAG?

Hello everyone,

We are in our planning stage to move away from Exchange 2007 and to Exchange 2013.  Our plan is to have 3 servers configured in a DAG.  From a storage and vm standpoint would a single datastore for each server sitting on separate ESX hosts be standard practice or a viable option?  Each vm datastore would store the OS, Exchange install, DBs and logs for a single server.  Would this be a practical solution for Exchange 2013 or is there a better way to lay this out?  Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,
John

Some Outlook fails after wildcard certificate renovation

Hello,

We are migrating Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. All mailbox are in Exchange 2010 databases, but all incoming traffic (mails, owa, Outlook anywhere...) are flowing from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010 successfully.

In our environment we have two email domains: user@mydomain.com and user@col.mydomain.com. Both are working OK.

Now we have renewed our wildcard certificate *.mydomain.com. We have experiencing problems with some Outlook users. Mobile users and OWA users are working OK. Outlook show an error that indicates that the certificate is not valid for autodiscover.col.mydomain.com. I know that my certificate *.mydomain.com does not include *.*.mydomain.com, but we have been working with the old wildcard for more than one year.

The problem is only with Outlook. I have configured the affected accounts in another computers and the problem persists.

What can I do?

Thank you

We have 2 sites, 4 CAS servers and 6 MB server at each site. We are preparing to upgrade from CU9 to CU14. We will be upgrading one site at a time, but within the same site, how critical is it to get all the servers done the same night?

If 1/2 the server get upgraded to CU 14, is it acceptable for the rest of them to be running CU9 for a day or two?

Skipping several CU's - good idea, bad idea?

Good afternoon, all!

I have gotten behind on my CU's for Exchange 2013. I'm on CU9 and want to get to CU 13 (Policy and bitter experience indicate DONT RUN THE VERY LATEST!) but in the past, skipping too may CU's led to painful results.

Best practice in this case: do a gradual upgrade to get to the desired CU level, or download the desired CU and go for broke? After following all the directions, of course!

Thanks to all for looking!

Since Friday dec 9, 2016 I get and error when downloading the attachments from a email message in my public folder using EWS (exchange web services). The error is : "An internal server error occurred. The operation failed"

This was working last week.  We get the exception when calling FileAttachment.Load. Nothing has changed in our code, and  I do not believe anything has changed on the server config

Forwarding emails with attachments from a public folder works as before.

I am in the process of migrating mailboxes from Exchange 2007 to 2013. The moves seem to take an awfully long time. I am migrating a batch of 10 users and the total mailbox size is 32GB. It has been running for 12 hours and is not complete. I have notice that there is a "Stalled Duration Time" what does that represent? Also, what should I expect in terms of migration time?

Enabling a Cloud Archive via script

We are currently running an Office 365 Hybrid 2007/2013 along side ADFS. 

We are successfully migrating users and have scripted 95% of the process. The one last bit I cant figure out is enabling the Archive. 

I found out that once migrated I cant enable the Archive for a mailbox if I use the Office 365 admin console but instead have to log on to our local Exchange 2013 server and enable it through the GUI there. I search for a mailbox, it shows the mailbox type as "Office 365" and I can then click the link on the right hand side to Enable Archive.

I thought that it would be a simple case of running the following powershell to do this at the command line

Enable-Mailbox "User" -Archive

but I get the same error as before in the Office 365 GUI.

The following error occurred during validation in agent 'Windows LiveId Agent': 'Unable to perform the save operation. 'User' is not within a valid server write scope.'

Any ideas ?
