Emails deleted in Mail NOT being deleted on Exchange 2007 server

Hi there
I have recently migrated from Entourage to Mail now that my IT department have setup Exchange 2007.
However, I am experiencing something odd. Sometimes when I delete an email in Mail.app on the Exchange account, it does not actually delete it off the Exchange server.
That means on the next synchronisation, the emails come back to my Inbox. In addition, if I move an email to a folder that's on My Mac, it seems to move for a few seconds but then comes back to my Inbox and is not in the folder I dragged it to.
I'm using a MBP with Snow Leopard and all available updates.
Would appreciate any help!
David

I am having the same issue.

Errors Decommissioning Exchange 2007 Server

We are attempting to decommission an Exchange 2007 Server (single server). We have already gotten 2010 set up, installed, mailboxes moved and public folders moved. We went through and removed the replicas on the old server as well as removing the mailbox
database and public folder database.
From this point we are attempting to Uninstall Exchange 2007 using either the Wizard or through cmd using setup.com /mode:uninstall after navigating to the Bin folder in the Exchange server. Each time however, we get the same error regardless of how we are
doing it.
We uncheck all roles, hit Next, and it fails during the Readiness Check within 10 seconds on each role (Mailbox, Client Access, Hub Transport) each time saying: 'An error occurred while running the test. The Computer may be out of Memory, or the XML files
have been modified. Parameter name: ConfigurationFileLocation'
I've gone through using ADSI Edit and removed the server from the Configuration>Services>SiteDomain>Administrative Groups>Exchange Administrative Groups>Servers
and it was none existent in the Databases section.
Even after all of these steps I'm still getting the error about the memory or XML file issue. Is there a way to replace the XML files with 'clean' ones or a way to repair the existing ones? I'm just simply wanting to uninstall it at this point.
Thanks!

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. It is not recommended to uninstall Exchange server in ADSIEdit.
2. The above error indicates that one of the xml files is corrupted, you need to re-download it for troubleshooting.
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

Removing old Exchange 2007

Last year I upgraded to Exchange 2010 & all has been working fine.
This year I plan to upgrade to 2013.
Last year I moved everything over to exchange 2010 but could not completely remove all roles from old server which by this time was virtualised. This server has been off for 12 months.
In the exchange management console window on 2010 I can see in the server summary window that it thinks there is still an exchange 2007 server.
I have fired back up my old virtualised version of 2007 & tried to perform add remove roles as it still thinks it has a mailbox role. This fails saying it cannot find it self.
How do I get rid of this server so I can progress with upgrade to latest version?
I have checked ADSIEDIT & cannot see an entry for my old server.
Please help

Unlike Exchange 2003, manual
removal of Exchange 2007 is not supported. However, take a look at these threads..

I have a problem connecting to my company exchange 2007 server from my IPAD2 the same settings worked with the IPAD1

Hi All
Can anybody help with this problem when trying to authenticate on the Microsoft Exchange Sever.
I have been trying to connect the mail client on the IPAD2 to my company email (Exchange 2007 server)
There appears to be an issue with the SSL settings for the IPAD 2 and Apples new OS
I know that it’s not supported but I also know that the previous version of the IPAD worked fine using the same settings.
Just to confirm I can access the email via Safari therefore I know that the Public Key is loaded in the web browser.
Can anyone confirm that the Public Key has been installed on the IPAD 2 email client?
Is there anyway to edit the SSL settings?
Thanks in advance fro your help
Regards
Pat

Try using Static IP and force a connection.
You can get the settings from your other devices that are connected to the router.

Exchange 2013 SP1 Readiness Checks: No Exchange 2007 server detected

Hi there,
We are planning to upgrade our current Exchange 2007 server with the new Exchange 2013 SP1. I have been following Exchange Server Deployment Assistant to assist me with this task. Only schema update (setup /PrepareSchema) had been done so
far. I didn’t run setup /PrepareAD command manually because I wasn’t sure if I need to provide ‘Organisation Name’ with it or not?! I have installed all of the prerequisites as noted in the Microsoft documentation.
Now, I am a bit confuse with the ‘Readiness Checks’ page during graphical user installation of Exchange 2013 SP1 setup on Windows 2012 R2. Windows 2012 R2 server has all available updates applied.
===
Warning:
Setup will prepare the organization for Exchange 2013 by using 'Setup /PrepareAD'. No Exchange 2010 server roles have been detected in this topology. After this operation, you will not be able to install any Exchange 2010 servers.
For more information, visit: http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.NoE14ServerWarning.aspx
===
I get the message why setup wants to run preparation for the Ex2013 with the ‘Setup /PrepareAD’. But, why ‘No Exchange 2010 server role have been detected in this topology’?! Ok, in my case setup doesn’t detect Exchange 2007 server. Is that ok to proceed
with the installation or something else needs to be done first?
Thanks in advance.

I need Exchange guru advice here please. Since we already have Exchange 2007 SP3 RU 10 in our Windows 2008R2 Active Directory domain here I need to be 100% confident that pushing Exchange 2013 SP1 “Install” will not override our existing Ex2007 environment.
That would be a huge disaster!
Microsoft is saying that: “Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Setup displayed this warning because
no Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2007 server roles exist in the organization.”
http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.NoE14ServerWarning.aspx
Ok, I get the message about if I continue with Exchange Server 2013 installation, I won’t be able to add Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 servers to the organization at a future date..., and why would I need to do that anyway?!
Microsoft wording about “some solutions may require the use...” are very confusing since we will require to consider “Coexistence or migration requirements"
Perhaps, before running Exchange 2013 SP1 setup I need to run setup for preparing AD without “Organisation Name” parameter?! Something like this:
setup /PrepareAD /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

Exchange 2007 server problems

Hello everyone,
I am having some trouble with our Exchange 2007.
Since some days ago I am having extrange troubles with out Exchange 2007 server. Users are been asked to write their user and password very oftenly, and I don't know the reason. Additionaly I have realised the OAB is not downloading properly in any Outlook
client. If I try to do it I am given an error number0x8004010F
I have been checking exhange server 2007 event viewer and I found a 80040115 error saying OALGen found an error accessing public folders while trying to generate OAL
Another error comes out inmediately after saying to check if Public folder store is mounted and there are replicas of Address Lists folders.
Another event viewer error says there was a problema trying to update availability information for the public folder in the virtual machine NAMESERVER
We have other 3 Exchange 2003 servers which I cannot remove because of an application we are using, accessing to them. As long as I know public flders are stored in Exchange 2007 server and not replicated in any other server, so I don't know if this has
something to do with the error.
Any idea of what might be going on?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
David.

I know I'm not addressing your direct issue, but at this point you need to seriously be looking at removing all Exchange 2003 boxes. Exchange 2003 has left extended support:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/10/08/save-the-date-end-of-exchange-2003-support-t-minus-6-months.aspx
What exactly is it with this app that causes it to lock on to 2003 only?

Exfolders.exe tool crashes on Exchange 2007 server

I've downloaded Exfolders.exe and I'm trying to run it on my Exchange 2007 server but it crashes everytime. I get an APPCRASH with a fault module name of kernel32.dll
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Exchange-2010-RTM-<//wbr>ExFolders-c76c3649
I followed all the instructions step by step.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
You didn't see this information?
ExFolders must be run from an
Exchange 2010 server - it cannot be run from a workstation as PFDAVAdmin could. It can connect to Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007, but not older versions.
PFDavAdmin is the tool to use on Exchange 2007

Running Exchange 2007 server in unsynchronized RU levels

We have Exchange 2013 with legacy 2007/2010. My 2007 servers are at RU10. one of my sites has a need to replace their edge server and wants to install a 2013 edge server, but the internal 2007 hub server will require RU13 to communicate with the 2013 edge.
Will updating that single hub server to RU10, and leaving the rest of my 2007 environment at RUY10 cause issues?
Tom

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your question.
We could make internal Exchange at different CU level, but it didn’t recommend by Microsoft, as Hinte’s said. Because there are some improvements at new CU for us to avoid issue, include communicate between internal Exchange 2007 server.
We could refer to the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996719(v=exchg.150).aspx
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,

Treo 755p can't sync w/Exchange 2007 Server - AirSAMStateMachine.c 1913 14594

We recently migrated to an Exchange 2007 server and would like our phones to start using ActiveSync. All our Windows Mobile phones have no problem at all. However, we have two users who have the Treo 755p (running Palm OS), and they can't synch.
After some research I believe this is likely an SSL issue, and so I tried downloading the Palm Certificates Tool and uploading the root cert (GoDaddy whom issues us the cert that we use on our Exchange server), but that didn't work. I tried the actual cert issues to us, and a bunch of other combos, nothing works. The error is the same on both phones. Disabling the SSL in the settings simply gives us another error: AirSAMStateMachine.c 1913 4682
Any ideas? Maybe I'm uploading the SSL certs wrong?
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

I wouldn't give up so soon. Imag here. Part time Exhange Admin, snowboarder, and denture wearer.
Your IT crew may have installed the SSL certificate correctly, and then again, maybe not. I've seen a few 2007 migrations that have missed some crucial steps that are fairly easy to fix. And given the symptoms you're seeing, it sounds like they missed something (left the default self-signed exchange cert enabled - oopsie-dah)
Check with your IT staff and ensure they IMPORTED and ENABLED the SSL cert using the Exchange Management Shell. If they applied it via IIS console, that may be the problem right there. With luck, we can debunk and put an end to this godaddy panic. Tell your admin they can PM me for additional details if they need any.

Removing Exchange 2007 Server from Management Console List

Hello,
We have an organization with a single Exchange 2007 Server running in production. It is working fine.
However, we brought up another server (we'll call it the secondary server for purposes of this thread) and linked it into this organization several months ago. Our plans for this box changed and we have kept it powered off, unlicensed, and unused.
Now, when we manage our production server, the management console keeps complaining about how the secondary server is almost at the end of its trial period, needs licensed, etc.
Since we might or might not use the secondary server in the future, it is possible to "unlink" it (or set it dormant somehow) from the server list to stop the license warnings? Or is our only recourse to remove Exchange and take it down if we don't
intend to license it and bring it into production? Our hope is that it can wait in the wings until such time as we decide to user & license it.
What are the implications if we ignore the license warnings and continue not to use it? Will it impact management of the production server at all or just continue to annoy?
TIA, Tom W.
JTW

Hello,
"What are the implications if we ignore the license warnings and continue not to use it? Will it impact management of the production server at all or just continue to annoy?"
You should have all production servers licensed but after trial period expiration the server will have all Exchange capabilities and features. Also trial period expiration should not have any negative impact on your environment. The EMC will simply prompt
to license that server correctly.
"Our plans for this box changed and we have kept it powered off, unlicensed, and unused."
In my opinion it is bad idea to have Exchange server installed but powered off. Note that this server still resides as object in Active Directory and it may complicate any future modifications of your environment (migration to newer versions of Exchange
etc.). I think you should use this server to provide some kind of high availability (and provide proper license for it) or remove it completely.
Once again: trial expiration is not a problem from server's functionality perspective, Exchange server powered down - it can be a problem.

Cannot connect to Exchange 2007 server on OS 3.1

Hi
Since I've upgraded to OS 3.1 on my iPhone 3GS I cannot connect to my Exchange 2007 server. The phone simply tells me "The connection to the server failed.".
What could this be? I've read the problems that 3G people are experiencing, but I've got the 3GS.
Is there anyway to debug this? The Exchange server works fine in Outlook and I can even connect to the web interface through Safari on the iPhone.
Any suggestions?

Deleting the old Exchange 2007 mailbox entry safely from ADSI Edit ?

Hi,
I'm having problem with the old Exchange maiilbox 2007 CCR cluster name still showing whenever I use the Powershell script:
Get-MailboxServer | Select Name, AdminDisplayVersion, ServerRole, ExchangeVersion, IsValid, ExchangeLegacyServerRole, DistinguishedName
Can anyone please assist me what to backup first before so that I can safely remove / delete the following highlighted entry from my domain controller:
Is that the correct location where I can safely delete the old Exchange Server mailbox entry ? All of our Exchange Servers are 2010 SP2.
There is also the computer object named MAILBOX when I do the search in
Active Directory Users & Computers console.
So can anyone please clarify if this is the best and safest way to do without causing any email downtime ?
/* Server Support Specialist */

Hey there,
You need to ensure that you have the following backups in order to proceed with the decommissioning process:
1. System State Backup of your Active directory
2. Exchange Database Flat file Backup
3. Run ExBPA Report and Export the Report for future reference.
4. Go to Registry Editor and Export “My Computer” as Registry backup.
Yes you are at the right location to safely delete the old Exchange Server mailbox entry .
The best & cleanest way is to delete the whole server object. This wouldn't break your Exchange 2010 configuration. But make sure you don't delete the “Servers” folder itself.
Feel free to revert back for further queries
Thanks

Old Exchange 2007 is not moving MAPI clients to new server

Good Afternoon all,
I am in the process of moving from exchange 2007 to 2010. I thought I read somewhere that Outlook will figure out in the background that there is a new exchange box and when I've moved everyone to it that Outlook clients will automatically be mapped
to the new server. I have moved 5 people over and all 5 did not re-map to the new exchange server. I even tried closing/re-opening the app and rebooting the computer. Did I miss a step somewhere? Thanks in advance as I have 160 mailboxes
to move over. I'd like to do it gradually if the system will allow me to rather than do it all in one go.
Thanks
David
EDIT-- My mobile users that I have moved are also reporting not getting email on their phones. Mix of iphones and droid. Tried rebooting and re-installing the Exchange profile. Seems as though external access breaks as well.

Hi There!!!!
In Exchange 2010, clients do not connect directly to the mailbox role, they go through the
CAS role, so it sounds like you need to set the RPCClientAccessServer to point to the new Exchange 2010 server.
Do this via PowerShell :
GET-MAILBOXDATA | SET-MAILBOXDATABASE -RPCCLIENTACCESSSERVER <FQDN OF NEW CAS SERVER>
But as you have 160 mailboxes to migrate , which would be quite time consuming and needs lots
of efforts, so rather than opting manual way for migration I would refer you to do this using any professional Migration Software like Stellar Mailbox Extractor for Exchange Server, which can perform the Migration of 160 mailboxes in quick time.

Demoting and Removing Exchange 2007 Server

Oh, I mistakenly saw 2003, and I thought you were removing Exchange 2003. My bad.
Run the uninstaller on the old system. It will take care of the rest. It will probably error out and give you reasons, clean up the reasons and run the uninstaller again. Once it's uninstalled properly, then you can power off the server and everything should be good. Don't forget your send connectors. I forgot that in my travels once.

At one of our locations we recently migrated all exchange mailboxes to a new Exchange 2007 on new OS platform, moving away from Server 2003. Everything to my knowledge has been migrated, users should be all connecting to new server, all connector headends have been updated, etc. As a test, I shutdown the old Exchange server (without uninstalling) but we ran into issues that day with Outlook constantly (every 5-10 minutes) asking for the user's password, slow loading of folder data, etc.; reboots/application restarts did not resolve. We turned the old Exchange server back on and all is now well. My theory is this is due to the schema still containing info about the old Exchange server. If I uninstall Exchange completely, thus removing it form schema, could I expect to have this issue resolved? Obviously I only get one chance on this, so...
