ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 and 2013 Coexistence
Hi,
I have exchange 2007 and 2013 coexisting (exchange 2007 sp3 update rollup 13/exchange 2013 SP1)
owa works fine from inside and outside, only that it requires users to authenticate twice when connecting from the external.
autodiscover works well for users on both 2007 and 2013
I have a public SAN certificate from verisign with 2 names on it, mail.mydomain.com and legacy.mydomain.com
I have A records configured for both names on my public DNS and internal DNS
THE ISSUES
testing activesync from testconnectivity.microsoft.com works fine when i run the test using a mailbox on Exch2013 but fails for mailbox on Exch2007.
New users on exch2007 & exch2013 are not able to setup email on their devices (blackberry and windows mobile),
Existing users on exch2007 can no longer receive mails on their mobile devices
URLs
Exchange 2007
Exchange 2013
Internal owa
mydomain.com/owa
mail.mydomain/owa
External owa
legacy.mydomain.com/owa
mail.mydomain.com/owa
AutoDiscover
mail.mydomain.com
mail.mydomain.com
EWS
legacy.mydomain.com
mail.mydomain.com
ECP
mail.mydomain.com
Internal ActiveSync
legacy.mydomain.com
mail.mydomain.com
External ActiveSync
$null
mail.mydomain.com
OutlookAnywhere
legacy.mydomain.com
mail.mydomain.com
I expect that users on exch2013 would be able to setup their mobile devices as the connectivity test completes successfully but it still does not.
Any help on this would be much appreciated ..

..forever is just a minute away*You don't need to use a legacy URL for ActiveSync in Exchange 2013. It will proxy ActiveSync for Exchange 2007 just fine. In fact, ActiveSync is usually the protocol that gives you the least amount of trouble in a transition. I recommend
you configure your URLs for the proxy configuration and point everything to Exchange 2013 CAS.

Exchange 2007 and 2013 coexistence
Hi,
we have exchange 2007 and 2013 coexistence. we have created a new url for 2007 legacy servers. Now, when using OWA url (now set for exchange 2013 server) i am getting OWA exchange 2007 login page for exchange 2007 mailboxs.
I was expecting exchange 2013 OWA page and then redirection to OWA 2007.
ThanksHello,
Please check your DNS configuration and ISA/TMG rules.
We recommend you use TMG or UAG.
You can refer to the "TMG rules" section in the following article:

I update my exchange server 2013 cu6 with exchange 2007 and my exchange 2013 db shutdown every 25 minute and recover. You have any hotfix I can use for this solution.
Hi,
From your description, you have deployed Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in a co-existence environment. After you upgrade to CU6, databases unexpectedly shut down. In your case, here is a kb for your reference.

Free/Busy not working Exchange 2007 and 2013 co-existence
Hi,
I'm migrating our Exchange 2007 environment to Exchange 2013. Now I am in a co-existence environment where all the mailboxes except some test-users resides on Exchange 2007. Between Users on the same Exchange MBX Server athe FREE/BUSY Information sharing
works correctly, but between Exchange 2007 and 2013 it's not working.
I verified my settings and also the EWS virtual directory on 2007 CAS Servers using Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory.
The internal and the external URLs are set to https://legacy.mydomain.com/....
What am I missing?
Thanks & Kind Regards,
JürgenHi,
According to your description, I understand that the free/busy information between Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013 is not available for your coexistence environment. To narrow down the issue, please check the following points:
1. Does the issue happen to all users or specific users?
2. Although a user on Exchange 2013 can't get free/busy information from a user on Exchange 2007, please confirm whether Exchange 2007 user can get free/busy information from Exchange 2013 users.
3. Close Outlook and only access user mailbox from OWA to check whether the issue persists. For Outlook client,
create a new Outlook profile
to have a try.
4. Please make sure the virtual directories settings are configured correctly in both Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2007.
Virtual directories settings in Exchange 2007:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2013/07/25/part-2-step-by-step-exchange-2007-to-2013-migration.aspx
5. Restart IIS service in Exchange server by running iisreset /noforce from a command prompt window.
If possible, please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration in Outlook to check whether the autodiscover service can get correct Availability service URL in the results. If there is any event logs, please collect some for further analysis.

Coexistence Exchange 2007 and 2013 - Clients on 2013 cant connect to Outlook, OWA works fine
Hi
We are currently running all our users on Exchange 2007. I've installed Exchange 2013 on another hardware following several guides on coexistence between 2007 and 2013.
I'm now testing with a few test users I've migrated from 2007 to 2013.
Everything was working fine until I messed up with something. It's either the certificates and/or Exchange Web Services and/or activating Outlook Anywhere.
Now, all my tests users on Exchange 2013 can connect and send/receive emails on OWA, but Outlook clients cannot connect to Exchange server.
When I start Outlook, I get the error Unable to open the default mail folders
When I try to create a new Outlook profile, I get the error: "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"
When I click on Check Name, I get: "The name cannot be resolved. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"
Thanks for any help you could provide
MartinChanged the
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod for the 2007 server.
Output for Get-OutlookAnywhere | fl *method*
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, Negotiate}
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, Negotiate}
Now everytime I try to create an Outlook profile whose mailbox is on Exchange 2013 it's
asking for credentials.
If I dig further and try to manually configure server settings:
If I specify the Exchange 2013 server and try a 'Check
Name', it says: "Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
If I specify the Exchange 2007 server and try a 'Check
Name', the server changes for the fqdn of the 2013 server and it does resolve 'Check Name' process. Clicking on Next at this point completes the 'Add new e-mail account wizard". But is I try to start Outlook, I got an error saying "Microsoft Exchange is unavailable"
Any other thoughts on this issue?
Thanks,

Exchange 2013 EAC coexistence with Exchange 2007
Dear All,
I have an exchange organization comprized of single Exchange 2007 SP3 UR 15 running on Win2008 SP2 and two recently installed Exchange 2013 SP1 CU7 with CAS and Mailbox role running on Win 2012 R2.
Imidiantly after Exchange 2013 install, I am not able to login to Exchange 2013 EAC. When I enter my credentials domain\username, the EAC page simpli dose a quick refresh and I am back where I started.
I have tryid mutiple UTLs to access EAC page, such as:
https://localhost/ecp?ExchClientVer=15
https://localhost/ecp?ExchClientVer=14
https://localhost/ecp
Each of them show the same result, a page gets refreshet. I have tryid to move my Exchange Organization user mailbox to Exchange 2013 to see if that helps but the result.
I also noticed that OWA dosent work for mailboxes that are on Exchange 2013, they are redirected to Exchange 2007 even thou they are on Exchange 2013.
Any idea on this one?
Thank you
b.Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify if you have configured Exchange 2013 namespace and virtual directories (such as OWA, ECP, OAB, Web Services, AutoDiscover)correctly. Please make sure these virtual directories are configured correctly and check
the result.

Exchange 2007 and 2013 coexistent
Hi
Ive installed exchange 2013 in my domain where exchange 2007 is installed. The servers can see each other and mailbox migration works.
The problems im having is with owa, outlook and activesync. When going (internally) to exchange2013/owa site and login in with a user thats on 2007 i have to log in twice, once on each owa site. I belive that the same will happen with activesync and thus
not work?
the users ive move to exchange 2013 are getting promted to type in user and pass every time!
my setup is exchange 2007 sp3 ru11 and exchange 2013 without any cu
thanks for the helpThe most common problem that I have seen has caused by having the wrong authentication methods configured for Outlook Anywhere on both the new and legacy server. You might want to start a new thread for that problem.

Exchange 2007 and 2013 Co-existnec - ActiveSync Issue
Hi
We have introduced Exchange 2013 servers in our existing Exchange 2007 environment. We have a customized Exchange 2007 ActiveSync setup i:e we created a custom separate website in IIS for ActiveSync to serve the ActiveSync devices. After the introduction
of Exchange 2013 CAS servers, when we installed the new certificate on them and configured the virtual directory with ActiveSync URLs, the Exchange 2013 servers seems to be receiving Activesync requests but they can't just proxy it to Exchange 2007 for some
reason. following Warning is logged on Exchange 2013 servers:
[Eas] Marking ClientAccess 2010 server MIA-EXCAS01.utg.uvn.net (https://mia-excas01.utg.uvn.net/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync) as unhealthy due to exception: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at Microsoft.Exchange.HttpProxy.ProtocolPingStrategyBase.Ping(Uri url)
We still need to install new Certificate on the Exchange 2007 servers. Wondering what could be the issue here, can Exchange 2013 proxy the connection to Exchange 2007 on a custom website ? or it looks for one under Default Website?
Can the absence of new certificate (meaning certificate mismatch) lead to this issue?
Thanks
Taranjeet Singh
zamnActually 2013 can proxy ActiveSync to 2007
Please follow this.
1. Set AutodiscoverInternalURL using this command for every CAS server
Set-ClientAccessserver -identity -CAS1 -AutodiscoverInternalURI
https://mail.yourcompany.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml (for FQDN , using your CAS NLB name if exist)
2. Set OWA virtualdirectoy (2013) via EAC
Internal URL : https://mail.yourcompany.com/owa External URL : https://mail.yourcompany.com/owa
3. Set ECP virtualdirectory (2013) via EAC
Internal URL : https://mail.yourcompany.com/ecp External URL : https://mail.yourcompany.com/ecp
4. Set OAB virtualdirectory (2013) via EAC
Internal URL : https://mail.yourcompany.com/OAB External URL :
https://mail.yourcompany.com/OAB
5. Set EWS virtualdirectory (2013) via EAC
Internal URL : https://mail.yourcompany.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx External URL :
https://mail.yourcompany.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
6. Set ActiveSync virtualdirectory (2013) viaEAC
Internal URL : https://mail.yourcompany.com/Microsoft-Active-Sync
External URL : https://mail.yourcompany.com/Microsoft-Active-Sync
For 2007
1. Set AutodiscoverInternalURL using this command for every CAS server
Set-ClientAccessserver -identity -CAS1 -AutodiscoverInternalURI
https://mail.yourcompany.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml (for FQDN , using your CAS NLB name)
2. Create DNS record
legacy.yourcompany.com = your CAS2007 NLB (if exist)
3. Set OWA virtualdirectory (2007) via EMC
External URL = https://legacy.yourcompany.com/owa
4. Set ActiveSync (2007) via EMC
Internal URL = https://serverFQDN/Microsoft-Active-Sync <<<< Using for proxy
External URL =
https://legacy.yourcompany.com/Microsoft-Active-Sync <<<< Using for redirect
5. OAB via EMC
External URL = https://legacy.yourcompany.com/OAB
6. EWS via Exchange shell
External URL = https://legacy.yourcompany.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx

Exchange 2007 and 2013 coexistance Problem
We are in the process to migrate our current Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
Our environment is as follows:
HT01= Hub CAS Server (Exchange 2007)
MB1, MB2 = Mailbox CCR Cluster (Exchange 2007)
CAS1= CAS Server (Exchange 2013)
MBNew1, MBNew2 = Mailbox Servers (Exchange 2013)
Emails for users that are on Exchange 2007 can send and receive external emails. But they cannot send emails to users that are on Exchange 2013.
Users on Exchange 2013 can send/receive externally, send to Exchange 2007 users, but cannot receive emails from Exchange 2007 Users.Are you getting any NDR? Post it.

Search function not fully working with Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007
The Search function in outlook is partly available.
I can only search into the inbox with basic search.
Advances search functions an dsearching into subfolders is not available.
As you can see in the screenshot, the options are greyed out.
Situation:
W2k8R2 + Exchange 2007 (windows search role not installed)
W2k8R2 + Outlook 2007 (windows search role not installed)
Question:
- Does the search role need to be installed on the exchange server to provide full search functionality?
- Does the search role need to be installed on the client (server) to get the search funtion fully available in Outlook?
I can't find this awnser if I search in google of technet, so hope someone can help me with this.As I already wrote to you, the current forum is for developers. I'd recommend asking non-programming questions in the
Outlook IT Pro Discussions forum instead. -
GAL and Free Busy Information during Exchange 2007 and 2013 coexistence
Hello Everyone,
I am finishing up an Exchange 2013 migration from 2007. I am currently still in coexistence and had some questions around the Global Address List and Free Busy Information.
How to I tell if my clients are pulling address book information from my Exchange 2013 or 2007 Global Address List? I don't want to remove the 2007 system if the clients are pulling from it. All mailboxes are moved to Exchange 2013.
How do I make sure my clients are pulling the Fee Busy Information from Exchange 2013 or 2007? If I remove my 2007 servers will my clients lose Free Busy Information?
How do I tell what Exchange version my clients are getting this information from?
Thanks for any assistance!
Ian...Hello,
Free/busy information are retrieved from user’s mailbox by EWS service.
GAL(I think you may refer to OAB), we can use the following command to get it’s generated server:
Get-OfflineAddressBook |FL

Outlook Anywhere settings in a Exchange 2013 coexistence scenario with Exchange 2007
I have exchange 2013 and 2007 set up in a coexist environment. At the moment, the few mailboxes I am testing on Exchange 2013 are getting multiple pop ups in outlook and cannot connect to items like Public Folders on 2007. I found an article
that told me to change the authentication method from Negotiate to NTLM and that broke some of my Lync 2013 compatibility issues on users on exchange 2007 (ie conversation history and they got outlook integration errors.) I would like someone to confirm
if the change I am about to make from doing research will help me in my situation.
Current Setup:
Exchange 2007 OA CAS Settings
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod: NTLM
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm}
Exchange 2013 OA CAS Settings
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Negotiate
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod: Negotiate
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, Negotiate}
New Settings I am considering based on research:
Exchange 2007 OA CAS Settings
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod: Basic
IISAuthenticationMethods : {NTLM}
Exchange 2013 OA CAS Settings
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod: Basic
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic}
Will this work and eliminate my popups?Hi,
The following TechNet article indicates that:
“In order to support access for Outlook Anywhere clients whose mailboxes are on legacy versions of Exchange, you will need to make some changes to your environment which are documented in the steps within the
Exchange Deployment Assistant. Specifically,
you will need to enable Outlook Anywhere on your legacy Client Access servers and enable NTLM in addition to basic authentication for the IIS Authentication Method.”

Hi
We are currently coexisting exchange 2007 and 2013 servers. Everything works fine, except OWA from the external.
Our domain is limocar.int.
Exchange 2007: exch2007
Exchange 2013: exch2013
On our internal DNS server, I've created legacy.limocar.int pointing to exch2007's IP address.
Exch2013 internal OWA: https://exch2013.limocar.int/owa
Exch2013 external OWA: https://mail.ourcompany.com/owa (where "ourcompany" is our company name)
EXCH2007 internal OWA was set to $NULL
EXCH2007 external OWA: https://legacy.limocar.int/owa
From the outside, I can log any 2013 users. But when I try to log a 2007 user, it changes the browser url to legacy.limocar.int, which indeed gives an error "The page cannot be displayed"
What am I doing wrong? instead of using legacy.limocar.int, should I use legacy.ourcompany.com? If so I will ask our public DNS to create legacy.ourcompany.com
Thanks for your help,
MartinThe legacy namespace is used not only for OWA.
As Krishna mentioned, all OWA users will hit the Exchange 2013 OWA URL (ex. OWA.yourcompany.com). The Exchange 2013 will check where the user mailbox resides and if it is an Exchange 2007 MBX, it will use the legacy URL that is configured in Exchange 2007
(ex. legacy.yourcompany.com) and silently redirect the clients to it.
The reason you need to seriously consider using the same external and internal URL (***.youcompany.com) and avoid using internal FQDN or NetBIOS names is the so called BR v1:
