Error Extending 2012 R2 AD Schema for Exchange 2013 RTM/CU6/CU7 (for Office 365 attributes)

Hello all,
I am a sysadmin at a 3 campus school, and am trying to extend our AD schema to include Exchange 2013 attributes so that we can configure groups synced to Office 365 using DirSync. However it keeps failing at the same point each time.
I have tried with RTM first, and then CU6, but I keep getting the same error and am unsure how to fix it.
"repadmin /showrepl" says that our 3 DCs are replicating with no issues, and I'm trying to extend the schema using an "Enterprise Admin"/"Schema Admin" account on our schema master DC.
Our domain/forest functional level is Server 2008R2, and we do not have an Exchange server set up already - if that helps.
The PowerShell error is:
PS C:\Users\rbbr\Desktop\Exchange> .\setup /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 6 Unattended Setup

File copy complete. Setup will now collect additional information needed for installation.

The Exchange Server setup operation didn't complete. More details can be found in ExchangeSetup.log located in the
<SystemDrive>:\ExchangeSetupLogs folder.
And ldif.err says:

Add error on entry starting on line 452: Unwilling To Perform
The server side error is: 0x20bb Schema update failed: duplicate OID.
The extended server error is:
000020BB: SvcErr: DSID-032603C0, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 8379
An error has occurred in the program
The schema attribute "CN=ms-DS-GeoCoordinates-Altitude,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=kurnai,DC=lan" does exist in the schema, but I don't know what to do or where to go from here.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I just tried .\setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:kurnaicollege /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms, and got the exact same error as above. 
Is there a way to delete the offending schema attributes, or to force its overwrite or something?
EDIT: I am also getting these eventvwr errors when running /PrepareAD, if it helps:

  • Winmail.dat attachments from Exchange 2013 on premi and Hosted Office 365 set up.

    Hello TechNet,
    I have an on going situation with winmail.dat attachments. I currently have a ticket open with Microsoft, but I want to see if anyone has personal experience with this. Here is the rundown.
    We have migrated from an Exchange 2007 server to Exchange 2013 for the migration to Office 365. We also have a hosted Office 365 server with half of our mailboxes in the cloud and half of them on the Exchange 2013 on premise server.
    The current settings for TNEFEnabled:
    On Premise: False
    Hosted: False
     Whenever a internal email with a calendar invite(exchange calendar, go to meeting) goes out to any external domain the recipients receive winmail.dat.
    When settings for TNEFEnabled On Premise and Hosted are set to true both calendar invites and PDF, Excel attachments etc the recipients receive winmail.dat.
    When speaking with Microsoft about this issue. The representative was watching me through a LogMeIn session as I set both TNEFEnabled false on both on Premise and Hosted.
    This is really frustrating as many employees depend on this to be fully functional, and to be honest am tired of dealing with this.
    I need help.
    -Ben

    I am having the same issue.
    Luckily I have only migrated my own mailbox to office365.
    Tried both true and false TNEFEnabled on both onpremise and office365 via powershell and confirmed that both have been applied.
    If I send the email as a plain text then the attachment works ok. If I send it as HTML then I get winmail.dat.
    The above KB doesnt really help me, sending plain text emails is like going back to the dark ages!
    I am sending from outlook to outlook (I send from my external email address, to my work email address and visa-versa)
    If someone with an onpremise mailbox sends me an email, the attachment works ok.
    If someone sends me an attachment via hotmail, the attachment works ok.
    It seems to only effect emails I send to myself through outlook, i am sending it through a POP3 account to our onpremise exchange 2010 which forwards the email to office365

  • SME 7.1 not working with Exchange 2013 SP1 CU6

    Hello, i tried upgrading to SME 7.1 on our Exchange 2013 SP1 CU6, but when trying to configure the Exchange Server in the SME management console using the configuration wizard, it gave an error before the LUN mapping page, saying "Failed to get Exchange information for server" and "The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.". I upgraded Snapdrive to 7.1, verfied all credentials according to the manuals, re-installed and rebooted multiple times (registry and filesystem cleaned, even tried to rename the existing SnapInfo directory, ...), stopped all other services on the server but without any change... Every time when trying to run the configuration wizard, the debug log shows no errors, lists all Exchange information and ends with the following lines:[11/18 12:51:58 155] Exit CSmeCDOExm::GetExchangeStructureInternal 0x0

    We could not reproduce the error with the upgrade workflow.Looking at the error and the relevant function, we could force the problem in following conditions: -SME is configured or ran at the DAG level-one of the following services is stopped or not responding on one nodes of the DAG Snapdrive Service, Snapmanager Service, Snapdrive Storage Management Service,Snapdrive Management Service. Would be good if we could get the output of following powershell cmdlet before and after the upgrade: Get-Service –ComputerName Node1, Node2, Node3 –name Snap*, SDMGMT*, SWSvc  Best regards,Dan

    By default, this account is disabled, please enable it and re-run Setup /PrepareAD again. It should success. After preparing AD schema, please disable the account again.

  • Is smb 3.0 already supported for exchange 2013

    Hello,
    We are looking to deploy exchange 2013. We have a netapp storage and vmware environment.
    I was wondering if smb 3.0 is already supported for exchange 2013. I read in a blog of 2012 that it wasn't supported at the time. We would like to use it instead of a iscsi lun.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, it is still not supported for Exchange 2013 up to now.

    I have removed the ecp site from default site and attempting to rerun SP1 now. I do not have high hopes. :(

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    From the error description, you need to manually remove the ECP with IIS manager in both the Default Web Site and the Exchange Back End firstly. And then continue the upgrade to check the result.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.

  • EXMON "exchange server user monitor" for Exchange 2013?

    Hello,
    it Looks like EXMON is not supported for Exchange 2013. Is this correct or can i use it with Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 (CU6++)  ?
    Is there any alternative to check high log growth rate to see which user is responsable for this?
    Thanks for Feedback.
    best,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    Yes, ExMon is not supported for exchange 2013.
    Except the suggestion above, here is an exclusive application for you reference, it could retrieve statistics for all or selected mailboxes in a specified database and server, it may give you some help:
    Exchange Server Mailbox Statistics Tool - v1.6.2
    The tool retrieves mailbox statistics which includes Folder Count, Total Items, Associated Items, Deleted Items, Total Items Size, Deleted Items Size, Oldest Item Date, Newest Item Date, Items Age, Mailbox Age and Quota details. It also includes an additional
    option named "Archive Statistics Planner" which will let you search mailboxes and provide statistics report with specific dates.

  • Security Update for exchange 2013 SP1 (KB3040856) failed mid-way / power problem mailbox server disconnected

    While applying todays security update for exchange 2013 (KB3040856) there was a power issue (sad story) and the update was interrupted halfway through.  A bunch of service were left deactivated and I beleive I brought them back.
    At this point the exchange admin center brings me to the login and when I do login, I get an enable to display page msg after the login.
    I have an ActiveSync error log  "cannot access the mailbox because the mail box server is disconnected"  translated from french.
    I also have ASP.NET 4.0 error "MapiExceptionMdbOffline"
    What could be the next step in fixing this if it is at all possible ?  I am not an expert in cmdlet but can manage if pointed in the right direction.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I ran update KB3040856, and it disabled all Exchange services, and a few others besides (IIS and filtering). I ran the test-servicehealth cmdlet and eventually got all the services set to automatic and all running.
    This is really a stupid thing for an update to do, what is going on? Exchange 2013 is trouble enough already, we really do not need this sort of agro.

  • Configuring Lync Server 2013 to be a partner Application for Exchange 2013

    Hello Guys,
    I just want to share my experience while configuring Lync server 2013 to be a partner Application for exchange 2013 sever. 
    As mentioned on technet you need to run Configure-EnterprisePartnerApplication.ps1 script that ships with Exchange 2013. 
    But when I tried to run the script as described on the technet article, I found it always fails with " the accepted domain is not valid"
    I have checked my accepted domains many times and i found that there's no issues with my configured accepted domain. 
    So I started to review the script to find the issue and I found that the script was configured  as below 
    $acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain ;
      if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
        WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
      $acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains[0].Name;
      if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
      else
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true; 
    which is totally wrong as below: 
    firstly it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the Name of the accepted domain. 
    Not all customers configure the name of the Accepted Domain to be the Domain Name.
    Secondly  it makes $AcceptedDomain variable to equal the name of the first Accepted Domain.
    The first domain may be not the default Accepted Domain. 
    So I have configured the script as below
    $acceptedDomains = Get-AcceptedDomain | ? {$_.Default -eq "True"}  ;
      if ($acceptedDomains -eq $null)
        WriteError ("There is no accepted domain so user can not be created.")
      $acceptedDomain = $acceptedDomains.DomainName;
      if($UseDomainController -eq $true)
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -DomainController $DomainController -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true -DomainController $DomainController
      else
        $user = New-MailUser -Name $username -ExternalEmailAddress $username@$acceptedDomain;
    set-mailuser -Identity $user.Identity -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $true; 
    I hope This help. 
    Thanks

  • Double prompts for Exchange 2013 migrated users: "The microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you to restart outlook"

    I have Exchange 2010 SP3 in my environment and am migrating to Exchange 2013. Whenever a mailbox is migrated, the Outlook 2013 client will prompt the user with a "the exchange administrator has made a change that requires you to restart
    Outlook". When the user does so, he or she is prompted again. After he or she closes and reopens Outlook for the second time, the issue is gone permanently.
    I've seen a number of other posts about repeated prompts like this but I haven't yet found one or someone gets exactly 2 prompts for each client and no more.
    A couple of pieces of information that may be relevant:
    1. On exchange 2013, the authentication method for the internal host name is NTLM
    2. I have not yet migrated public folders from Exchange 2010. I plan to do that after the mailbox migration is complete.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    From your description, after mailboxes are moved from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, users receive the following prompt when opening Outlook.
    The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook.
    In order to solve this issue, you need to apply the Outlook update that is described in KB 2863911.
    For your reference:
    Outlook 2013 cannot connect after an Exchange Server 2010 mailbox is moved to Exchange Server 2013

  • It is there an alternative to the Test-SystemHealth powershell cmdlet for Exchange 2013?

    Hello
    The Powershell cmdlet Test-SystemHealth, that was available on Exchange 2010, is no longer available on Exchange 2013.
    Test-SystemHealth cmdlet gathered data about the Microsoft Exchange system and analyzed the data according to best practices.
    Are there any alternatives to this for Exchange 2013?
    Thanks!

    Haven't really played with it too much, but check out Get-ServerHealth

    Looks to have replaced Test-SystemHealth.

  • Best Practice Analyzer for Exchange 2013

    Greetings,
    I have upgraded the messaging infrastructure from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
    I want to test the Health of the system through ExBPA for Exchange 2013.
    But i don't find any setup for Exchange 2013 like it was in 2010.
    I went through an article by Office365 community, according to which for In-premises Exchange also we need to have office 365 account (can use trial account also) to get the downloader file for ExBPA 2013.
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/deploy/office-365-best-practices-analyzer-for-exchange-server-2013.aspx
    But to run the setup the servers needs to be connected to internet.
    And, i don't want to expose my environment to internet in any condition.
    Somebody, please suggest me if there is any setup available so that i can install directly without exposing to internet.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    K2

    Welcome to Exchange 2013.
    Exchange Server 2013 doesn't come with ExBPA for health check. This might help
    http://exchangeserverpro.com/powershell-script-health-check-report-exchange-2010/
    Apart from that you can run these commands too
    Get-ServerHealth -Identity Exchange2013ServerName
    Test-ServiceHealth

  • PowerGUI Powerpack for Exchange 2013

    Is there a powerpack that can be added to the powerGUI script editor for scripting in exchange 2013?

    Hi,
    Based on my search, currently, there is no official document about
    PowerGUI Powerpack for Exchange 2013.
    However, we can connect to Exchange server using remote shell.
    For more details about this, please refer to the following article.

  • Transport agent for Exchange 2013

    Hello!
    I write transport agent for Exchange 2013 and I have two questions:
    1. How I can determine is AD OU of recipient different from OU of sender?
    2. How I can change routing of message from internal to external for such recipient.
    Thanks in advance

    1. You can't get that information from within a Transport Agent directly so you need to either use LDAP to lookup the sender (which from a performance point of view isn't a wonderful idea) or some form of cache etc.
    2. You can use a routing override to do this see
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/appssrv/archive/2009/08/26/how-to-control-routing-from-your-own-routing-agent.aspx for an example
