Cleanup after a 2013 forklift migration...leftover non-user mailboxes on old server?

So, I did a forklift migration from 2013 RTM to 2013 SP1. Everything is great with 1 exception: Arbitration and system mailboxes still think they are on the RTM server, so I can't remove the RTM server from the environment.
I ran the powershell command to "re-home" all the user mailboxes to the SP1 server's database...it succeeded!
Because the original information store file isn't mounted on the RTM server, I can't issue a get-mailbox -arbitration | New-Moverequest -Targetdatabase
"SP1 SERVER'S DATABASE"
My question:
Wouldn't a forklift have brought the Arbitration and system mailboxes to the new SP1 server and all I have to do is run a seperate command to rehome them specifically?
Is there a better way? Can I safely recreate the Arbitration and system mailboxes on the SP1 server?

Hi Martina, thanks for chiming in!
Upon running that, I get the list of all mailboxes in that Old Database.

That HealthMailbox311ff57db...is the only one with a recent logon, could that be the culprit!?!?
Everything else shows a logon timestamp of the evening it was forklifted to a new database, which is what I expect to see.

Migrating Internal Non Boot HD From Old G4 To Mac Pro

Hey guys,
I have done a search and haven't been able to find anything to help me with this. I have an extra internal HD in my old G4, it is a non boot drive. Now I want to be able to transfer all the files from it to my new Mac Pro. When I try and connect them via migration assistant, it only mounts my original G4 boot drive on the Mac Pro. Does anyone have any suggestion as to how I can get the etra internal HD to mount?
Regards,
Alex
Mac Pro Dual 2.66 3 GB Ram 1 x 500GB Hitachi HD 1 x 500GB WD HD 30" Display Mac OS X (10.4.8) G4 Quicksilver 867 1.12 Ram 80 GB HD 17" Studio Display

Yes, migration assistant only works with boot drives because it is designed to migrate things like user settings, applications, and so forth. It looks for drives or partitions that contain "blessed" system folders and files, to throw out an old-school Mac term.
You probably cannot put the G4 drive in your Mac Pro; the Mac Pro's bays are SATA. Your G4 is IDE.
However, you can boot your G4 in Firewire Target Mode (restart holding down the T key) and then plug the G4 into the Mac Pro via FireWire, and the G4 will mount as a drive on the Mac PRo. From there, you can copy whatever you choose from the old drive.
You can also remove the G4 drive and place it in an enclosure. I really like the ones Wiebetech.com has - I have a triple interface enclosure that offers USB, FW400, and FW800 connectors.
BTW, many people have found that using Migration Assisant is troublesome, myself included. After trying it and experiencing less than stellar performance, I wiped the Mac Pro and set it up from scratch. It's just not a good idea to copy between entirely different architectures. I've had fine results going from G4 to G5, but not from G5 to intel-based macs.
Hope this helps!
I think that migration assistant only works with boot
drives. However, there are lots of other ways to
transfer files. The Mac Pro has 4 hard drive bays, so
one option could be to put the drive into one of
those bays... There are external drive enclosures and
CD burners, as well.

Exch2k10 - after migration from Exch2k7 - 'SendConnector' show the old server as the 'HOMEMTASERVERID'

Hi,
after runing 'get-SendConnector SMTP_OUT | fl' we realize that the parameter 'HOMEMTASERVERID' is pointing to the old server even the 'SourceTransportServers' parameter is showing both the new and the old one.
>>> There is a way to change this in a way to point it only to the new one?
tks
Renato P

Hi,
Do you have an other connector point to the new server?
If has, please try copy and paste the right value to the current connector.
I find a similar thread for your reference:

How to get list of Users[MailBoxes] in Exchange Server 2013 by using EWS Managed API

Hi all,
I need list of Users exists in my Exchange server 2013 , i.e Mail Box Users login name.
I was created Full Access permissions of all users to Admin user account, to access each user Mailbox programatically
i need the list of Mailboxes in exchange server .
MailBox mailbox = new MailBox("user");
Please share your ideas

Hi,
We can run the following command in Exchange Management Shell to get all user mailboxes name and export it to a .csv file:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select Name,Alias,RecipientTypeDetails | Export-Csv c:\Users.csv
If you want to retrieve the list of users by using EWS Managed API, I suggest you can ask a question in Exchange Development forum for more suggestion:

Migration of Unity users from MS Exchange server 2007 to 2010

Hi,
I am having Unity 7.0 with MS Exchange server 2007,now want to transfer the users and Unity mailboxes to MS Exchange server 2010. Want to know the procedure. Can anyone help me out?

The way you're doing it has two very high hurdles.
First, you have to get the data out of an offline server and into Office 365. That's hardly a trivial task. If the server were online and reachable by the Internet you could use a move request or a third-party tool like MigrationWiz.
Second, if you do get the mail moved, you will want to synchronize the legacyExchangeDN attribute from the old organization into an X500 proxy address in Office 365 for all mailboxes to preserve mail replyability.

Public folder content disapear immediately after starting replication during migration from exchange 2003

Hello,
I'm in the middle of exchange 2003 to 2010 migration. The migration of the user mailboxes is completed with no problems. Today I try to start the replication of the public folders (~ 160 GB). I used the following instructions (http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000426.htm)
to set the replication for all folders. After a short time the first users calls, they were missing the objects in the public folder hierarchie. The routing group connector between the to servers lists a lot of wating mails but nothing really happens. I try
to revert the process by deleting the replications server settings bu everything is very slow and the objects in the public folder hierarchie are still missing.
Any suggestions?

Hmm sounds like you might have replicated things backwards if the folders are missing.
Did you happen to make a backup just prior to starting the replication?

Office 2013 Home & Business Edition - None of the application (Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook) is opening, not even in safe mode..

Office 2013 Home & Business Edition - None of the application (Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook) is opening, not even in safe mode.. I tried to run the application in compatibility mode by right clicking the excel.exe and choosing the compatibility
mode, still no success. It is installed on Windows 7 Professional SP1. All the latest updates are already installed. I have also tried Microsoft fixit, but still no Success. Please help!!

I'm so sorry that I forgot the Office programs even not open in safe mode and provide useless information in my last reply.
The problem persists when we perform a Windows clean boot, right?
Were the Office programs suddenly not working? Or it just can’t be open after you install it? Did you get any error message?
If you haven’t try a repair of your Office installation, we can try it to check the result:

In addition, try to use Event Viewer to see if we can get some useful error log about this problem. See:

Problem to migrate a non-global zone to a different machine.

Hi, recently, I had try to migrate a non-global zone to a different machine but its doesnt work.
1. First, this is the structure of my machine with my non-global zone:
host1# uname -a
SunOS testsolaris 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86pc
host1# zfs list

rpool/swap 575M 7.78G 56.8M -
2. In second, I had detach my non-global zone zonetest whit this commands :
host1# zoneadm z zonetest halt
host1# zoneadm z zonetest detach
3. In third, I had move my zonepath to my new host.
host1# cd /big-zone/export
host1# tar cf zonetest.tar zonetest
host1# sftp jay@new-host
host1# put zonetest.tar
Uploading .
host1# quit
4. Unpack my .tar file
host2# cd /big-zone/export
host2# tar xf zonetest.tar
So, after this, I think that my zonepath is transfert to my new host.
This is the structure of my new host :
jay@alien:~$ uname -a
SunOS alien 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

5. I had try to configure my zone on my new host and I receive and error message:

zonetest: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:zonetest> create -a /big-zone/export/zonetest

And my new big-zone (on the second host) show this in the /big-zone/export/zonetest folder :

Facebook like button integration after Facebooks July '13 migration

I am trying to add a like button to blog posts at jayowenhouse.com. I am following the instructions here
http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/add-social-media.html#main_Obtaining_the_plugin_code_
Even using {tag_itemurl_withhost} the "like" button "likes" the entire domain not the individual blog post. It looks like this facebook social plugin update has messed up BC's system for displaying like buttons, comments etc. I am experiencing the same issue with the tweet button and facebook comments. Maybe Im doing something wrong..
The Facebook developer page reads,
"After July 2013 migration, the Like button required an absolute URL in the href parameter."
The code in the tutorial does not have the absolute URL. How can I make my "like" buttons like individual blog posts with the absolute URL in the code that facebook gives me?
I would appreciate any insight.

I'm assuming your facebook module code looks like this then:
{module_facebooklike,moduleTemplateGroup="Default",language="en_US",url="{tag_itemurl_withhost}",layout="standard",showFaces="true",width="300",verb="like",font="",colorScheme="light",s end=""}
If this is not working i might suggest looking at the source code of the page you want to do this on. Check in the <head> tag and see if you have any <meta property="og:url" /> tags where the url provided is anything other than the specific url you want to like. If you do have such tag, remove it from your template, and only use it on pages you need the facebook like to work.
If it's still not working I would suggest looking into http://www.addthis.com. It's worked better for me than the Business Catalyst social modules.
I hope this is helping.

2010 to 2013 PF migration - mailenabled folders not working

After migrating public folders from 2010 to 2013 it is not possible to send mail to mailenabled folders. Mails are stuck in the queue until timing out.
Problem seems to be that LegacyExchangeDN is not updated during migration, it still points at the old location. Only cure I have found so far is mail disable and enable each folder to update LegacyExchangeDN, but I am looking for an easier solution.
LegacyExchangeDN before mail disable/enable:
/O=CMPANY NAME/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE
GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=FOLDER NAME....
LegacyExchangeDN after mail disable/enable:
/CN=Mail Public Folder/CN=Version_1_0/CN=341472c0-a48b-4f42-aca0-372ab8c3c6e7/CN=000000007D2DD1F167......
Any input is appreciated

Its a known issue.
I don't think there is anyother solution.
Hope you are aware that you can disable bulk and enable them back.

3 - Users receive Lync 2013 meeting requests but when try to access them, Lync 2013 client launches and shows error. Users will need to open the browser and paste the URL to the address bar but this still open
4 - We cannot use the workaround of adding "?SL=1" to the Lync 2013 meeting URL as the user base is large and manual workaround is not accepted
5 - Question: is there any automated way, via egistry key or GPO setting, so that users temporarily (until their accounts are migrated to Lync 2013 server) can bypass Lync 2013 client completely and automatically open all Lync 2013 meetings
on the browser, using Lync Web Plug-in?

Thanks for the response,
First, I should have mentioned clearly that users have Office Communicator 2007 client and Lync 2013 client installed in their machines. Their accounts are not migrated yet to Lync 2013 server.
Second, we are using IE9 and IE10. The issue is that users CAN join Lync 2013 meetings with their browsers but have to paste the URL manually to browser and add "?SL=1" otherwise, if they just click at the "Join Online Meeting" or "Join
Lync Meeting" URL it launches Lync 2013 client which shows error because is not configured yet, as they are using OCS client and migrating slowly to Lync 2013 server.
Is there a Group Policy setting or a registry key from Microsoft that can be turned on to these users machines and make will all Lync meeting requests to be opened in IE browser instead of Lync 2013 client. We need a way to ignore
Lync 2013 client until user accounts are migrated to Lync 2013 Server. Manually typing URLs is not an option in a big organization, can't explain thousands of users of different levels what to do.
We are regretting the decision not to separate Lync 2013 from Office 2013 package we deployed recently. If Lync 2013 is uninstalled then all Lync meeting requests are opened in browser without an issue.

Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013. I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
Summary :
We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
i.e
Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7.
Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
Did this issue occur with Office files?
I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
Thanks,
Victoria
