Applying CU4 for Exchange 2013 SP1 in a mixed 2010 / 2013 Environment

We're planning to apply Exchange 2013 SP1 CU in our mixed 2010 / 2013 environment. We'd also like to apply Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 5 as well. Are there any gotchas or best practices on what update to apply first?
Orange County District Attorney

We are planning to update our 2013 from CU5 to CU8
and 2010 SP3 to Rollup 9
I cant find any official documentation from MS concerning the upgrade path. Example. 
Exchange 2013 first, then 2010. Like the above post outline. 
I see 2010 being upgraded first thus bring version numbers closer together, reducing incompatibilities. 
Do you still feel this is the appropriate install procedure? 
Have you done this?

  • BPA shows domain prepped for Exchange 2007 SP1 after SP3 install

    Hello,
    I have a Client with a domain that is at 2003 domain functional level and 2000 forest level.
    The client had Exchange 2007 SP1 and I have just upgraded it to SP3. There is one CAS, one Hub Transport, and one Mailbox Server (All three had Exchange 2007 SP1).
    The domain and forest were prepped earlier by someone else and when I ran the installation program, it didn't pop up any errors on any of the servers.
    The upgrade to SP3 is in preperation to Exchange 2010. Everything is working ok. I have checked:
    1) In ADSIEdit, Exchange System Objects properties: Object Version =11221.
    2) In ADSIEdit, Services>Microsoft Exchange>Organization: Object Version =11222
    3) In ADSIEdit, RangeUpper value of ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt object = 14625
    However, When I run the Exchange BPA, it reports that the domain is prepped for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (In informational items). This is an informational item and not a warning or alert. However, I am concerned. Is this normal, and will it affect
    the migration to Exchange 2010?
    Thanks,
    HA

    Hello Ha20,
    Based on my experience, it will not affect the migration. However, it’s recommended to prepare the schema again to avoid any potential issues.
    Thanks,

  • Exchange AutoDiscover not working correctly in 2010/2013 environment

    Here's my setup:
    Mixed environment transitioning:
    Exchange 2010 running on Server 2008 in a VM
    Exchange 2013 running on Server 2012 in a VM
    I have split dns so that autodiscover.domain.com points to my 2013 server internally and my 2010 server externally.  When setting up new profiles in outlook internally, autodiscover seems to work fine.  However, when I try moving the public autodiscover.domain.com
    DNS record over to the 2013, things stop working (like auto profile setup). 
    I know that the 2013 server is reachable from the outside because mail.domain.com will to go owa and ecp without a problem.  I can log in to both without an issue.
    If I point public DNS back to my 2010 server, then all is well again with outlook anywhere and mobile connectivity.
    I'm not really sure what needs to be tweaked for the 2013 server to be ready to take over the day to day communications so that I can decommission my 2010 server.

    I have gone through the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant.  Almost everything was as it should have been.  I made some changes in the "Enable and configure Outlook Anywhere" and "Configure
    service connection point."
    I have switched external DNS over to my 2013 server, and the connectivity test is still failing.  It is also not proxying the 2010 mailboxes through 2013 as it should (according to the Deployment Assistant).
    I have a 2010 test account and a 2013 test account.  Both work fine in their respective WebMail's, but the 2010 mailbox will not pull up through the 2013 WebMail.
    Just for the heck of it, I have checked my SonicWall and it is configured the same for the 2010 host and the 2013 host.  I knew that ports 80 and 443 were passing on both hosts anyway because the port 80 redirect works and https webmail works
    on both hosts.
    If I try to access the xml file directly on both hosts:
    https://mail.domain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml (2013)
    https://webmail.domain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
    (2010)
    I do get an xml response from both of them after authenticating like this:
    <Autodiscover>
    <Response>
    <Error Time="18:17:41.0173284" Id="2526055628">
    ErrorCode>600</ErrorCode>
    <Message>Invalid Request</Message>
    <DebugData/>
    </Error>
    </Response>
    </Autodiscover>
    Sooo...I'm stuck.

    Update since my last post.
    I have all mailboxes migrated off of 2010 and onto 2013.  I'm ready to turn 2010 off as soon as I can figure out this autodiscover problem and get mail flow going in and out of the 2013 server instead of the 2010 one.
    Brian, I had a http redirect enabled in 2013.  I disabled that redirect and checked for any others.  There is currently no redirect in place anywhere under the default web site (the root site now goes to an IIS 8 page).  AutoDiscover is still
    failing according to the Exchange Connectivity site.
    When I switch autodiscover.domain.com over to the 2013 server I still get failures:
    Attempting to send an Autodiscover POST request to potential Autodiscover URLs.

  • Forefront Server Protection 2010 for Exchange: Notifications behaving differently on E2007/2010

    Hi all and happy holidays:
    I have this particular situation with two client FSPE implementations recently.
    I got one one client with a single E2007 server with FSPE v.11.0.713.0 and another one with a single E2010 server with FSPE v.11.0.713.0. I configured 'Keyword Filter Match' email notifications to Administrators and, to Internal Senders notifying them
    not to use certain keywords in the future. The configuration of the notifications is exaclty the same and is using the following fields in the body of the message:
    %Product% has detected a blocked keyword match on a message you sent.
          Filter Name: "%Filter%"
          State:  "%State%"
          Subject line:  "%Message%"
          Sender:  "%ISAddress%%ESAddress%"
          Recipients: "%IRAddresses%%ERAddresses%"
          Scan job:  "%ScanJob%"
          Location:  "%Company%/%Site%/%Server% (%Folder%)"
    Certain kewords are not allowed through this mail system as they may be offensive to others. Please refrain from using this word(s) in the future. If you believe you received this in error, contact your system administrator.
    Notifications are working great, detecting when a user is Internal Sender  and delivering the message correctly but here's the issue:
    1. On the E2007 system, when the user/administrator get the notification from FSPE, the %Filter% field it displays the actual keyword that that was used:
    Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server has detected a keyword filter match.
    Filter name:  "English Profanity: <RealUglyWord>;English Profanity: <RealUglyWord>"
    2. On the E2010 system however, when the user/administrator get the email notifications, the %Filter% field only displays the name of the keyword list:
    Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server has detected a keyword filter match.
          Filter Name: "English Profanity"
    No biggie you may think but, the issue is that the user has no way to know for sure which words should not use. Of course they can call the Administrator but this will cause uneeded calls to the helpdesk IMO. In the case of English profanity, it may
    be obvious but, in the case of other keyword lists, it may not be so obvious. For example, I also have another keyword list blocking racist terms. To some people the word 'gringo' may be offensive, but not to others. IMO, it should not be used
    at all, and I am hispanic. In any case, the user needs to know for sure which words are being blocked and not to use it IAW company policy and know that the message was not delivered. Similar keyword lists are in use on both clients for "Spam-like
    language', 'Sexual harassment', etc, etc so, this is an important client requierement and part of their 'Suitable Working Envrionment' policy and enforcement.
    Hope anybody has any ideas on how to fix it.
    Regards,
    Fred Larracuente

  • Setup a simple sales funnel with exchange 2013 public folders and outlook 2010 -2013

    BCM for Outlook is big and has too many choices. What we want is a combination of contacts and tasks within a public folder so we can see what others are doing. If possible I want
    to make a connection between an contact and a task. The task should have some extra fields like branches responsible organization members status etc. Does anyone have a simple solution which is easy to implement in a small organization of 10 people?

    Hello,
    First of all thank you for your answer. The Outlook version I'm using is 14.0.7113.5005 and the Exchange versuin is CU3. As I'm testing it on XP client it is probably the issue in the PS. I'll try it with Win7 client probably tomorrow. I wonder if there
    exists any kind of workaround for XP clients.
    Thank you in advance,
    Peter

  • Cross-forest migration to Exchange 2013 SP1 and Outlook 2013 SP1

    Hello! I have two forest: Exchange 2010 SP2 RU5 - resource forest and Exchange 2013 SP1 - account forest. I make cross-forest migration from resource forest (linked mailboxes with account forest) to forest with Exchange 2013 SP1.
    I have moved mailbox from resource forest exchange 2010 to exchange 2013 sp1 forest.
    Outlook 2010 connect to migrated mailbox without any problem, but outlook 2013 sp1 cannot connect to migrated mailbox.
    Error look like - cannot find exchange server.
    I created new mailbox in Exchange 2013 organization and can connect to it with outlook 2010 and outlook 2013 sp1.
    Someone have the same problem with migrated mailbox? How to solve it?
    Truly, Valery Tyurin

    You can use New-MoveRequest to perform a cross-forest move. Here is a well post and step-wise explanation you can check for cross forest migration from exchange 2010 to exchange 2013(http://msexchangeguru.com/2013/11/03/e2013crossforestmigration/).

  • Exchange 2010/2013 co-existence and Lync integration

    Hello,
    I'm looking at integrating Lync Server 2013 into my lab environment, which consists of a mixed 2010/2013 Exchange environment.
    UM - Exchange 2010
    CAS - Exchange 2013
    MBX - Exchange 2010
    MBX - Exchange 2013
    I've been reading about associating CAS and MBX servers with UM dial plans, when integrating with Lync.
    The Technet articles, and MS Press documentation I've read suggests that
    all CAS and MBX servers need to be associated with the dial plan.
    Does this include the 2010 MBX servers?
    As far as I was aware, in a co-existence environment between 2010/2013 all traffic is proxied to the MBX servers via the CAS 2013 role?
    Does this rule still apply when UM and Lync exist in the environment?
    Also, does the 2010 UM server need to be associated with the Lync UM dial plan, or does the 2013 CAS server handle this traffic as well?
    Thanks
    Matt

    So, just the UM server in 2010 would be associated with the dialplan, you won't even have the option to add a 2010 MBX server.
    The traffic isn't proxied by the 2013 CAS, it's more of a redirect, and yes this happens.  A lot of what will happen under the hood will be somewhat transparent, Lync will determine where it wants to send the UM traffic.  You can
    watch this in the Lync logger by watching SIPStack.
    The 2010 UM server can be associated with the dial plan, but you might not need it unless you're trying to recreate that specifically in your lab.  Exchange 2013 UM can serve mailboxes on an Exchange 2010 server.
    I would suggest just deploying it in your lab and watching what happens, that's half the fun. :)

    We had a newly updated Exchange 2013 SP1 that would not start the Transport service
    "Netstat -b" showed that a service was listening to port 25 on all IP's (0.0.0.0:25) and when the service could not get the port, it would die, and Exchange would attempt to restart it over and over.
    After many tears, I found this solution: 
    Through the console or the ECP, check the Frontend receive connectors and find the one that is listening on 0.0.0.0:25, which is probably the Default Frontend Receive.  Disable it.
    Restart the MSExchangeTransport and MSExchangeTransportFrontEnd services.
    If both services restart normally, troubleshooting is complete.
    We use several custom connectors carried forward from the previous installation, which was SBS 2008.  If this applies to you, take notice.

    Normally, the Default Frontend Receive Connector (0.0.0.0:25) is the messaging entry point for your organization (I am assuming that you have a single MBX/CAS server).
    1. If you disable the Default Frontend Receive Connector (0.0.0.0:25), you block inbound email.
    2. Most probably, the cause for your problem are the Custom Receive Connectors. Check their type, and if it is Hub Transport, delete and re-create them as Front End Receive connectors.

  • Unable to open delivery reports in Exchange 2013 SP1. Gives warning "The status for the recipient can't be determined because of a temporary error. Please try again later."

    This seems to be occurring with all users (have tested a few, all display the same exact error message).
    When I click on "Message Delivery Report" in Outlook 2010 or 2013, it points me to the ECP and displays this message "Warning The status for the recipient can't be determined because of a temporary error. Please try again later." I'm
    not sure which log files to look at. The last time I remember it worked was before I applied SP1, I think CU3.
    Our environment is two servers running Exchange Server 2013 Std. SP1 (847.32) in a DAG.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    From the error description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
    Delivery Reports is a message tracking tool that you can use to search for delivery status on email messages sent to or from users in your organization's address book, with a certain subject. In Exchange 2013, you can track messages for up to 14 days after
    they were sent or received. Please make sure the message you are tracking isn't older than 14 days.
    Here is an article for your reference:
    Track messages with delivery reports

    Hope it helps.

  • Send Issues with Outlook for Mac (2011 / V15) and Exchange 2013 SP1

    Hi all,
    we have a strange issue with only with Outlook for Mac Users (version 2011 and the newest Outlook Version (V15) from Office 365) connected to our Exchange Server 2013 SP1. Some emails which we send out to the exactly same recipient are not sent through our
    Exchange Server. 
    We have sent 8 emails with subject "test1, test2, test3...". Only test 3-6 was arriving to the recipient. The other emails are in the "sent" folder but it was not sent out through the Exchange.
    What we can see with "Get-MessageTrackingLog" is, that the Recipients and MessageSubject are empty for these emails:
    Timestamp Sender Recipients MessageSubject
    25.02.2015 16:48:52 [email protected].. {}
    25.02.2015 17:04:43 [email protected].. {}
    25.02.2015 17:08:25 [email protected].. {[email protected]} test 3
    25.02.2015 17:08:56 [email protected].. {[email protected]} test 4
    25.02.2015 17:09:38 [email protected].. {[email protected]} test 5

    25.02.2015 17:13:45 [email protected].. {}
    25.02.2015 17:13:55 [email protected].. {}
    We can still reproduce the issue on different Mac computers.
    Thanks for any help in advance!
    Thanks and best regards

  • Exchange Admin Center 2013 SP1 worked for a day and then stopped working, possible OAB problems

    Here is a problem that has me confused. On a fresh Windows Server 2012 R2, I installed Exchange 2013 SP1. It was successful and for the first day everything was working well. I then installed all security updates. The next day, I could no longer log in to
    the Outlook Web App or Exchange Admin Center. I get the generic "something went wrong" message, and the only details are X-FEServer: LAKEVIEW-SERVER (our server name). Nothing else. In the event viewer, I have the logs below every time I try to log
    in. This is repeatable. Every time I attempt to log in the same 3 things appear in the Application Log.

    My first guess is to reset the Outlook Address Book by using the Remove-OabVirtualDirectory Exchange commandlet. But I am not so sure this will work because Exchange worked for a day. Any help understanding what caused the problem (and thus help avoid it
    happening again) and how to fix it are appreciated. Thanks.

    hi,
    If nothing works try resetting the Virtual Directories.
    For  owa 
    Open Exchange Management Shell (EMS), and then run the following cmdlet to change the authentication method of the "owa" virtual directory to Windows authentication:
    set-Owavirtualdirectory -identity "MBX\owa (Exchange Back End)" -WindowsAuthentication $True -Basicauthentication $false
    -Formsauthentication $false
    Run the following command on both the Client Access and Mailbox servers to restart Internet Information Services (IIS):
    iisreset /noforce
    For  ECP
    Start Windows PowerShell.
    Type the following commands, and then press Enter after each line:
    Add-PSSnapin *exchange*
    Set-EcpVirtualDirectory -Identity "MBX\ecp (Exchange Back End)" -WindowsAuthentication $true -FormsAuthentication $false
    Run the following command on both the Client Access and Mailbox servers to restart Internet Information Services (IIS):
    iisreset /noforce
    For Ref: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123752(v=exchg.150).aspx
    I did those commands. But remember, the original error I gave was related to the OAB virtual directory, not ECP or OWA. I also did the Remove-EcpVirtualDirectory, Remove-OabVirtualDirectory, and Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory commandlets and the corresponding
    EcpVirtualDirectoryOabOwaVirtualDirecoty ones. I still cannot log in to the Exchange Admin Center. And I still have the same original generic unhelpful error message.
    However, there are some changes. After I removed and re-added the virtual directories I no longer received the original error logs given above. I now get this log in the event viewer:
    Event 2001, MSExchange Front End HTTP Proxy
    [Owa] Failed to load SSL certificate.
    The first logs I gave above always appeared after attempting to log in. This log that I gave appears infrequently and is not connected to any log in events. This log occurs only
    after a similar log given below:
    Event 1001, MSExchange Front End HTTP Proxy
    [Owa] Application Starting.

  • Exchange Server 2013 SP1 - Optimize for Single Server Use

    Hello,
    i've set up Exchange 2013 SP1 with at last CU6 - get exchangeserver says:
    AdminDisplayVersion             : Version 15.0 (Build 995.29)
    ExchangeVersion                 : 0.1 (8.0.535.0)              - - - funny number ;-) (is this an early version???)
    Yes, the annoying 16028 in the application log are running every five minutes, but thats not the main question.
    Which services are needed in a SINGLE-SERVER Environment, without DAG and unified messaging?
    Can the Self-Checking, Health- and Self-Probing be put down?
    These services are started automatic:
       Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology
       Microsoft Exchange Anti-spam Update
       Microsoft Exchange DAG Management
       Microsoft Exchange Diagnostics
       Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync
       Microsoft Exchange Frontend Transport
       Microsoft Exchange Health Manager
       Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Assistants
       Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication
       Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Transport Delivery
       Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Transport Submission
       Microsoft Exchange Migration Workflow
       Microsoft Exchange Replication
       Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access
       Microsoft Exchange Search
       Microsoft Exchange Search Host Controller
       Microsoft Exchange Service Host
       Microsoft Exchange Throttling
       Microsoft Exchange Transport
       Microsoft Exchange Transport Log Search
       Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging
       Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging Call Router
       Microsoft Exchange-Informationsspeicher
       Microsoft Filtering Management Service
       Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant
    And with C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue\mail.que about 512 MBytes size (which may may be a designed default size)...
    Have set up about 6 users mailboxes, 3 public folder in a mailbox for public folders. Only for testing purposes sent some (small) mails, no external mails received (only testing receive with 'popcon' for mail delivery to the internal boxes).
    The server (2012 R2) is running only in the internal network (yes, with internet connection for updates).
    No virus scanners, not third party receive or send connectors, only the 5 default (3 Frontend, 2 Hub) receive Connectors and one Send Connector to our mail provider set up and no user activity (only sometimes from me for testing).
    It seems like it's doing only with itself, logging file sizes of above 11 GB (in 4 weeks), with huge amounts of probing, health checking, internal testing, internal updating etc.
    Can this logging be set up to a lower level, can services be deactivated (for single server configuration),
    the logging volume should be in a useful relation to the mail use of the server, a message for every self test, internal health check etc. in the log-files normally isn't useful, only when problems occur there is a need...
    Thanks in advance
    Andreas

    Between Exchange protocol-based log files, PerfMon .blg files used by Managed Availability, IIS logs, etc., the total footprint can add up quickly and these logs are not purged automatically.  You can take a look at this site below and use the powershell
    script to clean it up.
