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 ?

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

How can I delete an old exchange email account

I have a new iPad Air. I restored it from a backup of my old iPad 3. My work exchange email account came with it but does not work. When I followed the procedures my work support provided I found a new email account was created with the same name. I tried to delete the old exchange account but there is no DELETE option. I checked and I have no restrictions enabled. I was able to make the old exchange account inactive by turning off mail/contacts/calendar/reminders.
Please advise on how to delete this account.
Thanks in advance
Environment:
IOS 7.0.3
iPad Air 128GB WiFi only

Brendan, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately neither of these helped. There are no checkboxes ticked for Safari (and I only use Firefox, generally) and I am able to sign in after signing off. But when I go to sign in here I get the [email protected] filled in as in the attached. And I have been using [email protected] as my defsult email and also my Apple ID user name since before there was an iCloud. So what now?

Powershell command to migrate Exchange 2007 mailbox databases with a legacy name, & import them into a new 2007 instance, with a new name.

Hi All. I am currently at the later stage of provisioning a new CCR Exchange 2007 migration (to
virtualise old Exchange 2007 hardware) for 5,000 users & have a quick question.
I have created around 15 newly named storage groups, & have named 1 new DB per group, with the same name (let's say New-DB-1), residing within them. The problem I have, is the old legacy DB's have different names (let's say Old-DB-1) & I need
to import them into the new storage groups, to match the new names. So far I can import/export between old & new OK if both old & new DB names\folders etc. names marry up perfectly, but are unable to if there not the same. Does anyone have any thoughts
on how best to tackle this, as this is one of the final hurdles stopping the migration? Many Thanks, John

Hi All
Many Thanks for the feedback.
The terminology 'migrate' was used based around the fact I will be decommissioning the old 2007 physical environment. This is after moving all DB's over to the new newly created Virtual environment that will host all roles.
The solution I ended up using yesterday, was the following:
1) Dismounted the relevant named DB (NEWDB) in the new environment.
2) I then ticked the 'This database can be overwritten by a restore option' box.
3) Copied over the old named DB (OLDDB) to the same location, & overwrote using the new name (NEWDB).
4) Re-mounted the (NEWDB).
5) Ran the following 2 PowerShell commands:
Get-mailbox –database OLDDB | move-mailbox –targetdatabase NEWDB -configurationonly:$true
Get-MailboxDatabase NEWDB | ResetSearchIndex.ps1 -force
6) Checked to make sure the clients were working ok, in the now the new (NEWDB) environment.
Rich: Many thanks for your PS script, which I will test with future DB moves & provide feedback

Migrate exchange 2007 mailboxes to exchange 2013

Hi Guys,
im trying to move exchange 2007 mailboxes to 2013. to cut to the chase, is this possible because im getting different kinds of errors?
Please advise if this is possible and how to do it.
Thanks!

Hi,
Below link also will help you
Microsoft Exchange Server Deployment Assistant
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756393.aspx
Before migrating exchange server, Make a plan
try to practcice on lab. " Production environment and practice lab is entire different"
I dont know your environment. Hope your Domain controller and Exchange environment is residing in same place. If it is different site, move FSMO roles to that site for installing purpose.
IT is really challenge and excitement .
Try to find the solution of client outlook connectivity,
I had this problem, after I install Cumulative update, this problem gone.
Login ECP console after install exchange server,
Certificate installation,
DNS pointing, port forward,
Apply auto discover.
I faced another issue as well during the installation. My ex admin upgraded exchange server 2003 to 2007. He may not uninstall exchange server 2003 properly. Exchange server
2003 record was in active directory. Exchange 2013 doesnt suport mixed version of exchange 2003 and 2013. I have to delete the Exchange server 2003 record under DNS and Adsiedit. After that only exchange server 2013 allow to continue to install.
Best of Luck " Nothing is impossible"

Hi, I have an e-mail account no longer valid, I need to move my contacts to a new e-mail account and delete the old one. How, help?? Phone is a 3GS

Hi, I have an e-mail account no longer valid, I need to move my contacts to a new e-mail account and delete the old one. How, help?? Phone is a 3GS

So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

How to delete the old ones?

While struggling to clean up my system, and from an abundance of caution, I have created a lot of Catalog Saves, Backups, and Restores. Now I am concerned about how to clean these up, without scrambling something else up in PSE. I have searched all the help files that I am aware of. Can someone please tell me where to look for guidance, or tell me how? Can I simply delete the old, out-of-date ones; or is there a formal "within-PSE" file management control that I need to follow? I'm still on PSE4.0. Thank you very much for any guidance.

Do you mean the trashed documents are still showing up in the Recent Files list:
If so, that's normal behaviour. The highlighted file was placed in the trash immediately before I opened this menu and took the screen shot.
Placing a file in the Trash does NOT delete the file from your hard drive. Here's a shot of the same menu, this one taken after Emptying the Trash (Finder menu, in the Finder).
The BB file no longer appears in the menu, but even now, it's not actually deleted from the hard drive.
Empty the Trash does nothing to the actual file. It does delete (or re-write) the directory entry pointing to that file's location on the disk, and marks the space as 'available.' The file information remains on the disk until it is overwritten by other files as the Mac OS makes use of the available space.
If you want to actually 'remove' the file, use Secure Empty Trash. Using this command results in the actual file information being repeatedly overwritten (with 1s, 0s, or a random series of these two states). Usually unnecessary, and much more time consuming that simply removing the directory entry and making the space available.

Barry

Error during Exchange 2007 mailbox provisioning with IDM 8.1.1.1

Hi
We want to create Exchange 2007 mailboxes from IDM.
When we let Exchange set the SMTP address (EmailAddressPolicyEnabled=true), it works fine
But when we set the SMTP address in IDM with the attribute PrimarySmtpAddress (and EmailAddressPolicyEnabled=false) there are an error and an information in the provisioning task
Error : PowerShell:6c13f14c-3825-4064-a585-48b4756de3a3 is not a mailbox user
Information : Added exchange mailbox to the user based on the RecipientType change from: 'User' to: 'UserMailbox'
We see that the mailbox has the SMTP address set by Exchange.
After 5mn, the task ends successfully and we see that the SMTP address is the one set by the IDM attribute PrimarySmtpAddress.
We guess that this error is caused by the active directory replication delay between controllers.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem ?
Thank you

Hi Patrick
Thank you for your answer.
The cmdlet enable-mailbox can be used with the PrimarySmtpAddress option and, in this case, the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled option is automatically set to false.
Cf. the MS technet help : "The PrimarySmtpAddress parameter specifies the primary SMTP address for the mailbox. By default, the primary SMTP address is generated based on the default e-mail address policy. If you specify a primary SMTP address by using this parameter, the command sets the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled attribute of the mailbox to $false, and the e-mail addresses of this mailbox aren't automatically updated based on e-mail address policies."
I have tested this option on our Exchange 2007 environment and it works fine.
In IDM if PrimarySmtpAddress is used but not EmailAddressPolicyEnabled, there is an error : "PowerShell:The e-mail addresses for this recipient are automatically generated based on e-mail address policies. To modify the primary SMTP address for this recipient, you must disable automatic updating of e-mail addresses based on e-mail address policy”
If PrimarySmtpAddress is used and EmailAddressPolicyEnabled is set to false, then the log shows that 2 powershell commands are run by the gateway, the second immediately after the first.
Enable-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity and -Database, run with no error
Set-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity, -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled (set to FALSE) and -PrimarySmtpAddress, run with the error “…is not a mailbox user.”
After 5 mn (the retry delay) another powershell command is run :
Set-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity, -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled (set to FALSE) and -PrimarySmtpAddress, run with no error.
The solution would be that IDM, when PrimarySmtpAddress is set, runs only the command Enable-Mailbox with the parameters PrimarySmtpAddress, which set automatically EmailAddressPolicyEnabled to FALSE

How do I change a saved ID for a site and delete the old ID, using Mac OS X and Firefox 3.6.8?

I have changed an ID at a website I use all the time. I want to delete the old ID from Firefox. When I go to the site I am offered a list of ID options when I click in the ID box on the site. I do not want the old ID to be offered to me as an option . I also have some incorrect IDs on other sites that I would like to delete. The passwords are fine, it is the IDs that I need help with.

You can highlight an entry in the drop down list on a web page and press Shift + Delete as explained in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries Deleting_autocomplete_entries] article.

Migrating exchange 2003 to 2010 while everyone is running SMTP, POP3 and IMAP on the old exchange 2003

Hi all
We have a legacy Exchange 2003 running with more than 800 users and with a very mixed configuration for client access. Most of users are running POP3/SMTP on the Exchange, some are running IMAP/SMTP and some are running MAPI access.
Please note that THERE IS NO WAY that we move all users to MAPI access before the installation (due to deadlines).
We plan to install a new Exchange 2010, starting with a CAS/HUB server. We do not need to migrate users automatically, and we can proceed later to move them individually to the new Exchange 2010 infrastructure in a non-transparent way.
More importantly, we need to maintain that everyone receives their e-mail and all communication through the exchange 2003 continues uninterrupted.
My question is can we install the new CAS/HUB server, while maintaining the old exchange server running with it's old name and create new names for the CAS/HUB server. In such a configuration, will all the Exchange 2003 services continue to run as usual
(POP3/IMAP/SMTP/MAPI)?

In addition, you may also spend some times at below mentioned helpful resources to check the prerequisites before moving all mailboxes from exchange 2003 to 2010 :

https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/upgrade-exchange-2003-to-exchange-2010/
Moreover, to avoid any interruption during the completion of migration process, you can also take a look at this application(http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) that could be a good alternate approach
for you.

How to connect Exchange 2007 mailboxes to existing users

Hi all
We use IDM/Waveset 8.1.1 and the Active Directory adapter for Exchange 2007 mailbox provisioning. We use a role for the AD account and a role for the Exchange mailbox.
When we add the Exchange role for a user, the mailbox is created (the IDM gateway sends the powershell command enable-mailbox) => it is fine.
When we remove the Exchange role for the same user (after some mails have been sent with this mailbox), the mailbox is disconnected (the IDM gateway sends the powershell command disable-mailbox) => It is also fine.
But when we add a second time the Exchange role for the same user, a new mailbox is created, while we want that the disconnected mailbox would be re-connect to the AD account (with the powershell command connect-mailbox).
Does anybody know if it is possible to do so ?
Thank you
Gilles

As long as your I.T. folks have the same DNS name pointed to the server from the inside as they do from the outside, it should work fine. To be clear, if your server is mail.company.com that name should oint to the server from inside and outside the company. Then it will work fine without any changes on your iPhone.

Hi Narendra,
You can put the code in comments, if you don't want to use the old code..You can delete also..But be sure that code belongs to you only..
SE38>zxrsau01>change-->find out your data source
Comment(Or can delete) the code starting from WHEN '2LIS_11_VAHDR'. to the end of the code that you have written..
If you really want to delete the assignment of RSAP0001 to your old project>goto CMOD>your project name>change>delete assigment
Then create a new project and assign the enhancement RSAP0001 to your new project and write the code in Include 'ZXRSAU01'..
Hope it helps
Thanks

How can I change my old Apple ID? I have a new one created but can't deleted the old one it's gray and u can't tap on it?

I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one

You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:
http://iforgot.apple.com
or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.
