Decommissioning Exchange 2010 Casarray (contains 2013 Mailbox Servers?)

I'm in the process of decommissioning exchange 2010. I went to remove the 2010 casarray and see that my 2013 mailbox servers are a part of the array? Can I still remove the array? Do I leave it?

Hi,
Please have a look in to the below mentioned article especially the reply from Off2work
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/c10550fa-b735-48ee-ad52-a75f0176e1de/cas-array-in-exchange-2013?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
As an additional info , as per my knowledge there is no use of cas array in exchange 2013 and at the same time exchange 2013 servers will not make use of it even though if it is an member of an casarray in exchange 2010.
Please reply me if you have any queries .

Exchange 2010 DAG's - 4 Mailbox Servers in 2 Datacenters with per site redundancy

I recently came into a company with an Exchange 2010 sp1 environment where there are two data centers in two different subnets (10.70.62.0 and 10.80.56.0)
Each datacenter has 2 mailbox servers (4 servers total) but their plan was to have only enough storage space to host 1/2 of the databases on each server. So instead of server 1, 2, and 3 being copies of each other, ServerA is a copy of ServerA and ServerB
is a copy of ServerB
Server     -    Databases
Site1mbA - Primary Database copy 1-10
Site1mbB - Primary Database copy 11-20
Site2mbA - Secondary Database copy 1-10
Site2mbB - Secondary Database copy 11-20
Normally if there were enough storage space I would keep a copy on each server and replicate within 1 DAG.
However since not all the databases are on each member server do I need to use 2 DAGS? 1st for Site1mbA & Site2mbA and 2nd for Site1mbB & Site2mbB
I feel I would need the 2 DAG's because with 1 DAG if Site1mbA server went offline the DAG couldn't switch to the Failover Cluster IP for Site2 because there are still active mailboxes in Site1 on Site1mbB.
Does that make any sense or am I over complicating it?
Thanks!

There is no rule that every server in a DAG must have a copy of every Database. You could do this with one DAG, but if the WAN goes down then the DAG will be active in only a single site not both.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979781(v=exchg.141).aspx#FourTwo
As illustrated in the previous example, using a single four-member DAG extended across two datacenters can provide high availability and site resilience for the mailbox services and data. However, if a WAN outage occurs, only the primary datacenter retains
service because it contains the majority of the voters. The datacenter with the minority of voters loses majority, and the DAG members in that datacenter lose quorum and go offline.
To deploy highly available Mailbox servers in a multiple datacenter environment, where each datacenter is actively serving a local user population, we recommend that you deploy multiple DAGs, where each DAG has a majority of voters in a different datacenter,
as illustrated in the following figure.

Decommissioning Exchange 2010 Public Folder servers

I have 4 Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 Public Folder servers. I need to get rid of 2 of them so I can re-use the hardware. The 2 I need to get rid of are replication partners (one replicates to the other) and only have about 5GB of PF data. I want to move the data
to the other 2 Public Folder servers (they are replication partners with each other). Those 2 servers have about 200GB of PF data. Do I just run .\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server OldServer -NewServer NewServer on 1 server since it has the same data as the other
one? I am just trying to figure out how to get the data from the 2 "old" PF servers (it is the same data since 1 replicates to the other) to the 2 newer ones which are the main PF servers (again, one replicates to the other). Also, this command won't
erase what is already on the newer servers, right? I assume it will just add to the existing.

Hi,
You need to replicate public folder firstly, after you make sure the public folder replication is completed, you can use the .\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 to move all replicas to the server that you want to keep.
Replicating public folders won't remove the existing public folders.
You will have to run .\MoveAllReplicas.ps1 -Server OldServer -NewServer NewServer command on both server, this command actually remove the public folder replicas on the old Exchange server. If you don't remove public folders replicas on the old
server, you won't remove pulic folder database successfully.

Exchange 2010 server with 2 DAG servers - DAG1 and DAG2 - backup with 2 DPM servers one for each DAG server

Hello,
Please advice, i have an Exchange 2010 server with 2 DAG servers - DAG1 and DAG2 - backup with 2 DPM servers, one for DAG1 and one for DAG2 is it possible ?

Hi,
I confirmed with Exchange support team that DAGs could be backed up separately.
Meanwhile backup database is important if you need to recover both Exchange server settings and database. See:
Recover a database availability group member server

Exchange 2010 CAS array with Exchange 2013 Mailbox Servers

Here is our current scenario,
Exchange 2007
2 - Hub Transport Servers
2 - CAS servers (cluster NLB)
2 - Mailbox servers (clustered)
Exchange 2010
2 - Huib Transport Servers
3 - CAS servers (array NLB)
2 - Mailbox servers (1 DAG)
We have not migrated any users to the Exchange 2010 environment yet. We're thinking that at this point we would rather go from 2007 to 2013. Does the 2013 mailbox server work with a 2010 CAS array?

Hi,
As far as I know, CAS array doesn' t exist in Exchange 2013. And OWA and other requests can be proxyed and redirected from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:

Error While Attempting to Uninstall Exchange 2013 Mailbox Servers

Hi everyone,
We recently migrated all of our users from Site A to Site B. Now, I'm trying to remove the Exchange mailbox servers that were in Site A, since we're going to be decommissioning the site. All of these mailbox servers have been removed from the cross-site
DAG, and all other services have been moved over to Site B as well (mail flow, CAS, etc). However, when I try and uninstall Exchange from any of the seven mailbox servers (I've tried it on two so far, with the same result), I get the following error at Step
7 of 11:
Error:
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
          & $RoleBinPath\ServiceControl.ps1 DisableServices $RoleRoles.Replace('Role','').Split(',');
          & $RoleBinPath\ServiceControl.ps1 Stop $RoleRoles.Replace('Role','').Split(',')
        " was run: "Service 'Microsoft Exchange Information Store (MSExchangeIS)' cannot be configured due to the following error: The specified service has been marked for deletion".
If I exit the Uninstall sessions, and then reboot in order to try again, it just states "An incomplete installation was detected. Run setup to complete Exchange installation." It appears that all Exchange files are still on the server too, however,
the server in question is no longer listed in the EAC under the "Servers" section.
Any ideas?

Hi,
According to this error, this issue may be caused by legacy PF database replicas and legacy Mailbox
store pointing to the PF database. Please try to delete the legacy PF database container from ADSIedit.msc, the run setup and reboot the server to solve this issue.
The path in ADSIedit should be like this:
CN=Mailbox Database ,CN=Databases,CN=Exchange Administrative Group ,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=Your company name, CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=Your company name,DC=com
Please collect other relative events in Application logs for troubleshooting.

Exchange 2013 - can no longer move mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Ex 2013.

Migrating to Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2010. Created Ex 2013, moved some mailboxes OK. Then could no longer move mailboxes. No errors. The Migration email says complete. Synced: none, Total Mailboxes: none.
Tried several mailboxes. Same result.
Ex 2010 is SP3 RU6, (at least it says RU6 is installed in Programs/Features. The build is for SP3 w/o RU6???)
Ex 2013 is SP1 aka CU4.
How to proceed???
john11

After many attempts to fix the issue (move remaining 4 mailboxes from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013) I contacted Microsoft and we resolved the issue. Here's how.
btw - Thanks for the suggestions from Ed. However, they did not seem to move us forward.
What did work:
1. On the Exchange 2010 box, create a new database. (Someone else suggested this also). Then move the remaining Exchange 2010 mailboxes to this new db. Then after that, move the 4 mailboxes to Exchange 2013 using the GUI on Ex 2013. This only worked for one
of the four mailboxes. The other 3 failed.
2. Apparently, we need to restart the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service on the Exchange 2013 after several failed move attempts to clear cache related to the moves.
3. Then on the Exchange 2013 box, use this Exchange shell command:
New-MoveRequest -identity "[email protected]" -TargetDatabase "Exchange 2013 DB name" -BadItemLimit '500' -verbose
This moved the remaining 3 mailboxes including the Discovery mailbox. It took some time. But we could check the progress using
Get-MoveRequest
The MS Tech was terrific. Really knew his stuff. And all mailboxes are on Exchange 2013. Well, the last one is still moving, but I am optimistic.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had to get this done and the MS Tech made that happen.

Exchange 2013 / 2013 Coexistence - OWA rendering on 2010 CAS for 2013 Mailbox

So I'm running Exchange 2013 CU2v2 alongside Exchange 2010 SP3 (both on top of 2008 R2 SP1) and I'm having a bit of a weird thing happen when migrating test users from Exchange 2010 to 2013.
After migrating a user from a database on the 2010 server to a database on the 2013 server, when you access OWA (through a url pointing at the 2013 server), it still appears to render on the 2010 CAS (and functions normally). If you click ? > About it
shows properly that the mailbox server is the 2013 server, but the host address and client access server are still the old 2010 server. It seems that after a few hours it fixes itself. ECP, however, renders properly on the 2013 server immediately after migration.
The migration completes successfully with no errors, and outlook connects fine after migration, hitting the 2013 CAS.
I thought maybe this had to do with the Exchange Information Systems Cache, as in 2010 this was occasionally an issue:
http://www.terminal.com/blog/bid/70313/Moving-Mailboxes-During-an-Exchange-Migration
but the mailbox will still render on the 2010 CAS even after restarting the ExchangeIS service.
I should also note that this behavior DID NOT occur with Exchange 2013 CU1 alongside 2010, and only started happening after upgrading to CU2v2.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this is happening and what I can do to make it transition quickly to render OWA against the new mailbox? Thanks!

Exact same symptoms here;
Single site, 1 Exchange 2013 CU3 on 2012 Server, 1 Exchange 2010 SP3 as source for migration;
Exchange 2013 configured as external access 'cas' owa etc. and proxy to 2010.
Accessing an 2010 mailbox thu 2013 works correctly (OWA, ECP, ActiveSync, Outlook Anywhere etc.)
Created new mailbox on 2010, migrated to 2013 and this mailbox is accessed/proxied thru OWA 2010. Strangely this mailbox is hosted on the proxying 2013 server now but still gets proxied. ECP for this user does instantly connect to the correct 2013 server.
The 2010 OWA connecting to 2013 mailbox server: help | about:
Host address: https://ex2010.corp.local/owa
Version: 14.3.174.1
Proxy host address: https://ex2013/owa
Proxy version: 15.0.775.0
Proxy server name: ex2013
S/MIME control: not installed
Exchange Client Access server name: ex2010.corp.local
Exchange Client Access server .NET Framework version: 2.0.50727.5472
Client Access server version: 14.3.123.0
Client Access server platform: 64bit
Mailbox server name: ex2013.corp.local
Mailbox server Microsoft Exchange version: 15.0.775.0
Other Microsoft Exchange server roles currently installed on the Client Access server: Mailbox, Hub Transport
Authentication type associated with this Outlook Web App session: Basic
Authentication type for Exchange Client Access server to Client Access server proxy session: Negotiate
Public logon: Yes
So to me is that the 2013 server is still proxying to 2010 and the 2010 CAS is accessing the mailbox on 2013 ;).
This even when the mailbox is moved on the 2013 server itself!!
How strange is this?!

Hello!

Decommission Exchange 2010 but keep Hybrid Excahnge 2013

All,
We have finished migrating all users from our Exchange 2010 server to Office 365. We will retain the Exchange 2013 server that was installed during the hybrid configuration for mailbox management, relaying etc. There are no plans to store any many locally
on this server.
Questions:
1. Should the arbitration mailboxes be moved from the 2010 server to the 2013 server? Or can they be removed?
2. Are there any other considerations that need to be taken into account before uninstalling the 2010 sever?
Thanks

Yes, you should move the arbitration mailboxes - they are organizational mailboxes, not mailbox database mailboxes.
Make sure all Exchange resources and operations hosted on this server have been moved to your Exchange 2013 system before you remove Exchange from this server. If you try to remove Exchange (in either the GUI or the command line) and something is
still using this server, you will be alerted that something is still using the server and will be told what it is.

Exchange 2010 Migration to 2013 Coexistence url's

Hello,
What exactly is required for the virtual directory url setup for Exchange 2010 coexisting with Exchange 2013? I have been searching online a lot preparing for my Exchange 2013 deployment and can't see to find a clear answer. The information
I have come across from TechNet and other sources is all over the place with some stuff saying the external url needs to be empty while others say it should match Exchange 2013's setup. Others say the internal url should be empty while
only the external should be populated. And I have even seen others say nothing on Exchange 2010 has to be touched and that Exchange 2013 will figure proxying out on its own once I configure the new url's on it.
So what is supposed to be setup for the ExternalUrl and InternalURL to in Excahnge 2010 for coexistence with 2013? Currently my
existing Exchange 2010 is internet facing with the plan of moving that to Exchange 2013 once that goes in as per Microsoft directions on implementing coexistence.

Read the article below from Ross Smith. There can't be better article than this:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx
If exchange 2010 and 2013 are on same site, then you need to:
1. Remove External URL from Exchange 2010 CAS servers, retain the Internal URL
2. Move the SSL certificates from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013
3. Point the external URL to Exchange 2013 instead of Exchange 2010
4. Of course, you would need to re-configure Autodiscover, Web Services URLs on Exchange 2013 CAS servers.
Once this is done, for any mailbox that is hosted on Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013 would proxy the connections and deliver the content.

Make Passive Database Copies Active and Decommissioning Exchange 2010 SP2

I am in the middle of tranferring Databases from Old Physical servers to New Mailbox Servers.
My approach was to join the new servers to DAG replicate all Databases,After which I will make the Database Copies in the New Servers Active with high Preference and Decommission the old.Servers.
I however dont know how to go about it ?

Well, you just did describe it!
You dont need to change the activation preference though. Once the old databases are removed, Exchange will set the preference automatically and then you can adjust as necessary.
Here is what I would do:
1. Add the mailbox servers to the DAG.
2. Replicate to the new servers.
3. Activate databases on servers not being removed.
4. Remove the database copies on the servers you are removing. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298164.aspx )
5. Remove the servers from the DAG that no longer have database replicas.
Thats it! Very simple.
Note that the all the DAG members have to be at the same O/S and should be at the same Exchange SP.
(SP2 is no longer supported - Time to move to 2010 SP3)

Tried to specify the credentials for the account forest and got the following error when tried to select Global Catalog from wizard:

The error talk about the credential. Did you check the credential
Did you tried this command?
New-MoveRequest -Identity "Distinguished name of User in Target Forest" -RemoteLegacy -TargetDatabase "E2K10 Mailbox Database Name" -RemoteGlobalCatalog "FQDN of Source DC" -RemoteCredential $Remote -TargetDeliveryDomain "Target
domain name"

Moving Exchange 2010 Production DAG Setup and Servers to difrent Date Center with new IP Addresses

My Setup
Exchange 2010 SP3 2 Mailbox, 2 Hub/CAS, 2 TMG Servers in Production
Exchange 2010 SP3 2 Mailbox, 2 Hub/CAS, 2 TMG Servers in DR Site
Exchange 2010 DAG implemented with site level redundancy
Requirement
Need move Production Exchange setup along with DAG configuration to a new location.
IP Addresses for servers and DAG setup will change
No change in Server name and DNS names
During production server movement Mail services will be activated from DR Site
Need help in planning and executing the IP Address change/DAG Change
and Server movement.

Hi,
I will have the following plans:
1. Active the DR site as the main site during the migration.
2. Moving the Server to the new site
3. Change the activate back to the Production Servers

Latency leads to full system Failure in Exchange 2010 - Resolved in 2013?

My work encountered a bug - and for no lack of trying - I could not find any bug submission for Ex2010 anymore. Since Most programming relies on the foundation of the past - if replication service was implemented the same in 2013 than it could leave
to a full system failure.
The issue is something happened in REPLICATION service in such a fashion that it accepted a connection, and in the programming it set a variable to a LARGE NUMBER (fail closed) to replace for "Copy Queue
length" in the ball park of 922 quadrillion.
The service never updates this value because of its quasi-state and some timeout occurs and now the GOOD servers think their copy is ludicrously behind. This causes the GOOD servers to attempt to fail-over - as they believe their copy from the BAD
server has failed or perhaps another check fails...
[6 DAG pieces on 3 servers, 4 pieces per server]
In my scenario Server 3 holds:
1 part of server 2 <= Tells server 2 you're bad - don't fail over
1 part of server 1. <= Tells server 1 you're bad - don't fail over
2 parts its own <= "good" - though dead replication service
As I do not know if this exploitable by simply placing a listener in place of replication service to accept and do not respond to connections - I do not know. However, there is a "bug" or flaw in my opinion to allow 1 bad server to superceed
two good servers based on a partial service crash. Simply stopping replication service on Server 3 allowed Server 1 / 2 to take over with out issue - I then restarted replication service and no issue since.
Since i wasted an hour looking where to submit this - this forum will hopefully do - I am very much a white hat - but I am dislike the non-simple way before me to disclose said information to the creator. I want my hour back for their non-intuitive
process, or maybe the simply don't care about Exchange 2010.
- Dan

Please note "LATENCY" in my topic is not network but inter-process on a single host, and is used as saying a timeout occurs without value.
