configuring exchange 2013 with MS PKI

$
0
0

while trying to configure exchange to work with certificates issued from my internal MS PKI, I deleted the self signed certificates. and now I can't access exchange. the good thing is that this is not a production environment yet. I was looking around and I couldn't find a documentation on how to request certificates from an internal CA. and how to assign the certificate to exchange.

I need help regarding this, if any one has a working environment with CAS and MB on different server, how the certificates are assigned in IIS.


Migration form Exchange2010 to Exchange2013

$

Hi,

I have a plan to upgrade Exchange 2010 to 2013. In Exchange 2013 system, I'll have 2 CAS server and 2 Mailbox server.

I know that the CAS server in both version will handle the move request, so the CAS2013 server will take the MRS when I migrate mailboxes from Ex2010 to Ex2013.

Now I have a question:

- When I do my migration by using seperate power shell command instead of using bulk migration in 2013 ECP, one CAS server or both CAS server will do this job?

- Can I define which CAS server doing the migration job?

Thanks,

Exchange 2013 SP1 upgrade process

$
0
0

I am preparing to apply SP1 to my Exchange 2013 environment. I have a set of Exch servers in two locations. Each has 2 CAS servers and 6 mailbox servers. I found the following link which explains how to apply updates to the DAG servers.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298065(v=exchg.150).aspx

I have not found information in relation to the CAS servers. Should the CAS servers be updated before or after the DAGs? My CAS servers are in a HLB. Should I just disable one CAS server in the HLB VIP while I update it? Is there a specific process for upgrading the CAS servers. A way to put them in/out of maintenance?

Thanks!

Migrate Exchange 2010 public folders cross forests

$

Hi,

Due to some Exchange and Active Directory issues (with remnants of old Ex 2003 server), we are going to migrate Exchange 2010 Mailboxes and public folders to a new Exchange 2010 Sp3 server, which is created in a new AD forest.

One thing we still have to decide, which is how to migrate public folders.

Apparently there are 2 ways:

1. To export PF data to PST and then import using Outlook in destination Exchange server

2. To use interorg replication tool to replicate PFs cross forest in target Exchange Server.

I would really appreciate if someone suggests which one is best. We have around 200GB of PF data.

Also, should we migrate Public Folders first? We think that we should move Mailboxes first.

Thanks and anticipation.

Add mail user to multiple address books

$

We are in process of migrating to exchange 2013.  During the transition, I have mail enabled our AD users so that the users that have already migrated to the new exchange server can see these users in their address lists.  We have 5 buildings, and an address list for each.  Most people only work in one building, and are in only address list.  I have entered the building of the user into each users customattribute1, and filtered the address lists on that.  My problem is that there are about 20 users that move between buildings, and therefore need to be in multiple address books.  Since the customatttribute field for a mailuser can only hold one value, I'm stuck on how I can accomplish this.  Does anyone have any advice?  

After SP1, Mailbox migration is slow

$

We are migrating mailboxes from Exchange 2007 (e2007) to Exchange 2013 (e2013).

After we updated from CU2 to SP1 for e2013, the mailbox moves are running much longer.

We are checking into other causes,...but at this point it seems like SP1 is the only "new kid on the block".

For example, last week we moved 5 mailboxes per hour and now we are moving 3 mailboxes per hour (or maybe even less).

RAM is near 100%  (as expected...)

CPU is high...but not anymore than last week.

The e2007 mailbox servers and the e2013 servers are in the same room and connected with a "nice network"  (and it has not changed since last week.)

The crew that provides VMware, Windows 2012 server, Disk, network, etc. say that it looks like the E2013 server is healthy and not showing any significant "stress red flags".

Could the "Exchange workload manager" in SP1 be making decisions that slow down the mailbox moves compared to the CU2 level ?

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to do inplace upgrade of exchange 2013 from exchaneg 2010 ? I have recieved the following error when I runsetup /prepareschema  /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTermsfrom Exchange 2013 with SP1 CD.

Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 Unattended Setup.

Setup checks failed: Earlier versions of the server roles that are installed were detected.

I am upgrading on my test enviornment where single Exchange server has all the roles in CA, MB & HT in Windows 2008R2 AD.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

2013 SP1 problem - the microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook

$
0

I've looked at other answers to this problem but they seem to relate to multi server environments or new migrations - neither apply here. The Exchange 2013 server was implemented last year as a migration from Exchange 2007. It has been running well since. I upgraded to SP1 on Sunday night and since then all users, regardless of Outlook version, are continually being asked to "the microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook". Clicking OK loads Outlook normally (no restart). I can delete the Outlook profile and set up a new profile OK but the issue comes back again. Deleting the users roaming or local profile does not help either.

The CAS seems to be set correctly - when I run Get-MailboxDatabase | fl RpcClientAccessserver it returns the correct server.


There are no public folders set up.

Set-OutlookProvider multiple certificate and multiple sites and subdomains

I have three sites.

Each sites has own exchange server, and each server has public url access.

Each Exchange server has different certificate.

Email for site A is *@A.com. Email for site B is

*@B.A.com. Email for site C is *@C.A.com.

External URL-s follow e-mail naming.   Site A: mail.A.Com, Site B: mail.B.A.Com and Site C:  webmail.C.A.com.

Can I create  additional two EXPR provider-s   and define   Server and CertPrincipalName, and have successful connection.

O365 migration OWA redirection

Hello all

Currently i'm running Exchange 2007 sp3 onprem, i have also installed an Exchange 2013 sp1 Hybrid server. I finished reading the link below regarding OWA redirection and simplification, and i understand all of it, except the link doesn't mention anything about certificates. Example if my on prem OWA  is mail.mydomain.com, part of the migration process is to point this name to the hybrid server, (2013)  and  use a different name for the 2007 CAS servers i.e. legacy.mydomain.com, then configure redirection and publish both names externally.  If this is correct wont i need to have both names in my cert? i.e. "mail.domainname.com" & "legacy.domainname.com" in my certificate?

1. It hung up at "syncing" and end up with a failure.

2. After a long migration i got the following errors

All,

I've been trying to install Exchange 2013 on Datacenter for a few days now and with each re-install I get much closer to completing the installation until now. I'm stuck in the pre-check section of the installation where i'm receive the errors below:

Error:

I've read most of the post relating to this subject but I'm unable to correct the problem. I've checked AD for duplication of Exchange objects but I'm unable to find any and the installation will not move forward. What can I do to get this to work?

Migration from 2010 to 2013 - Cross Forest Free / Busy Working One Direction

$

We have exchange 2010 in abc.com forest and exchange 2013 in zxy.com forest with Shared Name contoso.com , migration from 2010 to 2013 is flawless and everything is working fine.Because we did not do federation as we use same smtp address we went with example from http://www.expta.com/2013/08/how-to-share-freebusy-information.html  which works to some extend. When I say that : It works one direction but not the other, and then in middle of the day it switches sides. I was able to see Free/ Busy calendar only once that was working on both sides fine. I am suspecting its a DNS issue however it could be something else? Can you point me out to some troubleshooting steps or what can cause some behaviour like that.

So yesterday abc.com users were able to see Free /Busy from zxy.com (GalSync in place) and today zxy.com see abc.com but not the other way around. Not sure what error logs to look into as there is probably like 20 places to look for in exchange 2013 :)

So we ran both ways

Get-ClientAccessServer | Add-AdPermission -AccessRights ExtendedRight -ExtendedRights "ms-exch-epi-token-serialization" -User "sourcedomain\Exchange Servers"

Add-AvailabilityAddressSpace -ForestNametargetdomain.com -AccessMethod PerUserFB -UseServiceAccount $true
Export-AutodiscoverConfig -TargetForestDomainControllerdc.remotedomain.com -TargetForestCredential $Target -MultipleExchangeDeployments $true
Now I believe the "targetdomain.com" blogger meant is abc.com and not contoso.com :)

Thank you for your help.


Exchange 2010 DAG & VHDX virtual disk

$

Hi all,

I want to add 2 new Virtual Exchange mailbox servers to our current DAG, 1 for each site, replicating with each other.  The reason for using VHDX is because of the larger size (64TB max) and I don't want to use passthrough disks.

I've read about the replication issue's when using mailbox servers with different Physical Sector sizes.

On our current servers we have 512 Bytes Per Physical Sector.

Am I right that when I use the following command line to create a 512 Physical Sector Size virtual hard disk , i shouldn't run into replication issue's ??

New-VHD -Path "C:\Hyper-V Test\VM01\test.vhdx" -Fixed -SizeBytes 250GB -LogicalSectorSizeBytes 512 -PhysicalSectorSizeBytes 512

Migrating 2003 to 2013

I know you can not migrate directly from 2003 to 2013 ms exchange but I'm looking for thoughts and opinion here.

The customer is 50 user mailbox on an Exchange 2003 server and single AD. Now they want latest and greatest Exchange 2013 feature with no downtime.

what options do I have?

#1 Do the cross forest migration, migrate AD move the Desktop to new AD and move mailboxes?

#2 make Exchange 2003 PST and setup a brand new AD and Exchange 2013. Give them PST as a local data file on their outlook along with their primary mailbox to avoid and X.400 email alias issues

I want avoid 2003 to 2010 and then 2010 to 2013 -- it will panic the end users and double the time and effort.

Thanks
