Hi all,
I'm migrating my public Folders from Exchange 2010 SP3 to Exchange 2013 Cu1.
I've created the two required CSV's and and a new public folder using the holdformigration switch.
When I run New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest I recieve "Couldn't connect to the source mailbox"
any ideas what the problem could be?

  • Couldn't Connect to the source mailbox - New-MailboxRestoreRequest

    Having major issues with recovering a mailbox for a user, we have created a recovery mailbox db and it's mounted fine and not in a dirty shutdown state, but when I try any variations of  'New-MailboxRestoreRequest' I get the below message:
    New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase "RDB18" -SourceStoreMailbox "roger Hodges" -TargetMailbox otest -AllowLegacyDNMismatch
    Couldn't connect to the source mailbox.

    I've tried Restore-Mailbox also and get the below error:

    Hi,
    Please try the following command to check this issue:
    New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase "RDB18" -SourceStoreMailbox "roger Hodges" -TargetMailbox otest -
    TargetRootFolder “folder name” –AllowLegacyDNMismatch
    In addition, when running this cmdlet, the source mailbox in the recovery database needs to be identified using one of three possible values: the
    DisplayName,
    MailboxGUID, or
    LegacyExchangeDN values. Keep in mind that you cannot reference the source mailbox using the Exchange Alias when performing a restore. You can use
    Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet to find this information.
    Best Regards.

  • Boot camp with xp -- couldn't connect to the internet when installed

    I need to run xp for my job because the software they use only works with windows.  So I tried installing the copy of XY I have, XP Professional, last night.   I used the same XP disk for my first mac a few years ago, a 24" iMac with Leopard.  I am now trying this on my MB pro with snow leopard.  It has the same processor as my first mac (a duo-core, I bought  a refurbished mb pro).
    Everything went fine until I tried to access the Internet to get any updates and download the software needed.  I was not able to connect to the Internet at all.  I tried setting it up, etc, but nothing worked.  It could not connect, even though there seemed to be an icon that sad the signal was there (the two little computer monitors in the lower right of the taskbar)
    I called my ISP to see of there was anyone on that end who might know what was going on, but nothing.  He told me that my version of Internet Explorer was old and I neede the newest one (this copy of XP was from 2002 and the original version was IE 6), at which point I asked him how I was supposed to do that when I couldn't connect to the net.  Anyway, he gave me the number for some company called plumchoice, and they couldn't help me because I was using boot camp, and I was told that they don't support that platform.  I thought that was nonsense, given that I was running windows, not OSX and it worked before.
    When I did this a few years ago it worked fine -- I could get on the net with no problem,  and even then I think that there was a new version of IE that I had to upgrade to, yet I could access the Internet fine.  I thougt I needed to download some things from the internet to complete the installation (from the window that came up when you start boot camp assistant) but it couldn't find anything, so  I chose the second option that says I have the necessary disks that came with the computer.
    So does anyone know what may be going on?  I would also like to mention that I didn't yet go ahead and install the OS X drivers when I tried this, but I didn't think thay would make any difference -- I thought that they were just for the keyboard and volume controls, etc.  If I need to do that, then I feel like a real idiot and you all deserve to laugh at me.
    I'm not sure which disk that came with the machine is the one I'm supposed to use, so can anyone tell me that as well?  It's been a while since I did this (2008). I should be able to use this OS (and I only need it to download some software and work within it for this job).

    You need to install the drivers, especially the ones for your network hardware.

  • My macbook pro 2.0 early 2011 will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

    Alo, my Macbook pro i7 2 GHz Intel Core i7 (early 2011) will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

    There is no output from that command line?   Maybe the pid changed.
    I'll repeat what I am trying to find out...
    1. You do a pmset -g on the terminal.
    2. The output from that pmset should have a line that says "sleep 0 (imposed by n)" where n is some number.
    3. The ps ax | grep n is supposed to display what the process associated with n is.
    It's the output from step 3 that should indicate what is causing you not to sleep.
    But speaking of sleep, that's where I am going.

    When you are having problems with a site - consider weather between you and it and amount of traffic (time of day).
    Bad weather can cause problems with a connection as it travels on the information highway - hazard a guess all traffic that went through Buffalo is being routed elsewhere.   
    Bad weather can slow down handshake etc to the point of requiring too many resends - so Ibook is timing you out.

  • Windows 8.1 - Windows Couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service

    I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers. Standard users are not able to log into the computer on the first try consistently. They receive the error message: Group Policy client service failed the sign-in access is
    denied. They are stuck at the logon screen.
    If an administrator logs in (local or domain), they can log in but get a black desktop with two error messages. The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable. The second error message is a popup
    balloon. It states "Failed to Connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service."
    When a standard user attempts to log in, event viewer records three warnings. They are listed in order from oldest to newest
    The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a critical notification event. -Logged 9:14:44
    The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> failed a critical notification event. - Logged 9:14:44
    The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a notification event. - Logged 9:14:49
    After a reboot, users still have the issue. I noticed that the user profile services and system event notification service are not running though their startup type is automatic. They start after a minute or two.

    Hi Joseph__Moody,
    Based on your description ,I assume it is a domain environment .First of all ,I would suggest you to try to update all the machine .
    "I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers"
    Do you mean all the Windows 8.1 machine share the same symptom or just a specific one ?Did the machine work correctly before ?When did the issue start to occur ?Have you installed any third party software before ?Can we operate the machine when we login with
    an administrator account ?
    If the issue occurred with the specific machine :
    "The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable."
    Please try the following suggestions if we can operate the machine when we login with the administrator account :
    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile and verify if it has the Desktop folder there.If the folder doesn`t exit, we can copy from C:\users\Default\Desktop location(This folder is hidden by default).
    We also can try the following suggestions to have a troubleshoot :
    1.Run "sfc /scannow"or "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" to check the health of the system files.
    2.Perform a full scan with an antivirus software.
    3."They start after a minute or two."
    I suspect there is a third party service confilct here. Please perform a clean boot to verify whether there is a third party conflict here .

    If the issue occurred with multiple machines in the domian ,I would suggest you to check whether you have configured any logon scripts and logon group policy .We can remove the machine from the domain to have  a troubleshoot .
    If the issue occurred recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point.

  • Why do we need a connection to the Source DB for RMAN DUPLICATE ?

    Version Info: 11.2.0.3/RHEL 5.8
    We want to clone a Production DB to a test DB.
    Prod DB size: 100gb
    We are going to take an RMAN full backup (Hot Backup which includes Archivelogs ) and scp the backup pieces to the Test DB server.
    In the Test server , we will be running RMAN DUPLICATE command after connecting like below
    rman target sys/passwd@SID_OF_SOURCE_DB auxiliary /We have everything we need in test server to do the cloning ie. all the RMAN Backup pieces. Then why does RMAN connect to the source DB ?

    from [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta020.htm] here
    Backup-based duplication without a target connection
    RMAN creates duplicate files from pre-existing RMAN backups and copies. The DUPLICATE command must have been issued with the DATABASE clause. This form requires a connection to an auxiliary instance and a recovery catalog.
    This mode is useful when the target database is not available or a connection to it is not desirable (as mandated by security policy restrictions or a firewall).
    Backup-based duplication without connection to target and recovery catalog
    RMAN creates duplicate files from RMAN backups and copies that were placed in a designated BACKUP LOCATION.http://dbaregistry.blogspot.com/2011/04/rman-duplicate-without-connecting-to.html

  • Warning: Failed to clean up the source mailbox after the move

    Hi!
    After moving a mailbox between databases (EMC or EMS), there is a warning: Warning: Failed to clean up the source mailbox after the move. Erro details: MapiExceptionUnexpectedMailboxState: Unable to delete mailbox. (hr=0x80004005, ec=2634).
    Users can successfully access mailboxes, but these mailboxes stay in disconected mailbox node on EMC, and it is shown on EMS afer command [PS] C:\> Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics | where {$_.DisconnectReason -ne $null} and their databases are
    the old ones.
    We have recently upgraded from SP2 to SP2 RU4, but we´re not sure when this problem started.
    Our Environment:
    Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1
    Windows Roles: File Services, Web Server (IIS)
    Exchange Server 14.02.0318.001 (Build 247.5) Roles MBX, DAG with one more MBX identical Server
    Antivirus: Forefront Endpoint Protection Version: 2.1.1116.0
    Virtualization: Yes – Hyper-V
    Applications: Backup Agent CA, SCCM Agent, SCOM Agent, HP Management Tools
    Any idea?
    Thankyou in advance!

    I recently upgraded our Exchange 2010 servers (CAS/HUB and MBX) from SP1 to SP3 RU6 and now I'm encountering this issue when doing mailbox moves. I opened a support case with Microsoft and it appears that they are aware that SP 3 RU1 doesn't fix
    the issue in all cases. Below is the response I received from the support engineer.
    =====
    Based on my research and case experience, we have several customers report that even if they are running Exchange 2010 SP3 RU1 or later version(for example, one of customer is running Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4 and another is also in CU6 environment), they also
    have such issue. When they move mailbox, it completed with warning message that source mailbox can’t be cleaned up after the mailbox move operation. This issue occurs because the Mailbox Replication service does not check a certain flag when you move the mailbox.
    Additionally, a move process for a mailbox that fails takes 30 seconds by default. When a move process for a mailbox fails, the Mailbox Replication service tries five more times to move the mailbox. Therefore, there is a 2.5 minute delay for each mailbox move
    process when you move many mailboxes at the same time.
    Currently, the workaround is to remove the “SoftDeleted” mailboxes manually after move the mailbox using the command you shared to us.
    ==========================================
    1.    List all disconnected mailboxes in a database and display DisconnectReason if its SoftDeleted or Disabled
    Get-MailboxStatistics -Database "DB9" | Where-Object {$_.DisconnectDate -Notlike $NULL} | Format-Table DisplayName, DisconnectDate, MailboxGuid, DisconnectReason –Wrap
    2.    Remove a specific softdeleted mailbox
    Remove-StoreMailbox -database “DB9” -identity “User Alias here” -MailboxState SoftDeleted
    ==========================================
    And as I know, it has no impact on the mailbox usage, so we can ignore the warning message currently. Please rest assured that once we got more information about the issue, we will inform you ASAP.

  • I think I no why I couldn't connect to the store

    I have aol, so I have an AOL account to use. I was under my screen name when I COULDN'T connect, but when I was under the master screen name, I could. (My AOL account sign in name was the same as the master sign in name, so that might have done it.) So I probley THOUGHT I couldn't connect, but the hole time I bet I could. So any of you who can't get into the store, have AOl, and used your master screen name as you AOL sign in account name, try signing on to your MASTER screen name, then try getting into the itunes store.

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

    Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store.  Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.
