Exchange 2003 - Cannot search my GAL

Took me a while, but I finally got connected to my Exchange server. (Exchange 2003 for Small Business, SP2 running on Win 2003)
My E-Mail syncs
My Calendars sync
My Contacts... sort of sync
I get my raw Outlook contacts, and I can see the "Exchange Global Address List >" in Contacts.
But when I fill out a name, it returns "No Results"
I am also having difficulties with OMA (Outlook Mobile Access) which may, or may not, cause the problem I am having; since OMA needs to be running in a Virtual Directory to get my iPhone to sync.
When I go to log in to OMA:
https://<server>/oma
Insert Username & Password
https://<server>/oma/(S(pmxg5gvaahzmfmoqddhocogh))/oma.aspx But the page appears blank
OMA should be all text and would act like a webpage circa '95 with only text based hyperlinks. And in fact, it was working before we updated to SP2.
Would OMA's semi-broken response affect my ability to search the GAL at all?
Is there a known solution to this GAL problem?

Some good documents to clarify your client's concerns are available at below links that shows and explains in depth about "Exchange server 2003 data backup and volume shadow copy services" :

Also, you can download complete disaster recovery guide from Microsoft download center : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=85
Meanwhile, to avoid the risks and proceed error-free migration between exchange 2003 and 2007, a very helpful resource is available at website(http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) that could also be a
good approach to accomplish mailbox migration in a hassle-free manner.

Exchange 2003 users are unable to send attachments larger then 8 MB to Exchange 2010 users on the same LAN

I am migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.
Users who are still on Exchange 2003 cannot send attachments any larger than around 8MB to Exchange 2010 users on the same LAN.
Users on Exchange 2010 can send large attachments to fellow Exchange 2010 users without issue.
I do not have any quota restrictions on Exchange 2010.
Had a look at the Exchange 2003 Connector but could not see any reference to attachement restrictions.
Has anyone come across this?

Cannot Move Mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007

Hello,
I am migrating exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 and have moved almost all the mailboxes without any issue, but there are some mailboxes which are not being moved since they are giving me the below error.
Error:
Error was found for John Doe ([email protected]) because: Error occurred in the step: Opening source mailbox. Failed to open mailbox with error: ClassFactory cannot supply requested class, error code: -1056749262
Initially I found that the account was disabled from Active
Directory so enabled it but and also replicated the active Directory but still the problem is there, its not hidden in the GAL aswell.
http://www.arabitpro.com

Thanks everybody .. I have solved the problem myself.
To resolve this issue I had to give the account "SELF" permissions for "Associated external account". If the user does not have these
permissions to its own account it is unable to set the msExchMasterAccountSID attribute for the disabled account causing the error. By setting this permission on the disabled account, it allows it to mark the msExchMasterAccountSID attribute.
To do this follow this procedure:
1. In the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, on the View menu, click Advanced Features.
2. In the Exchange Advanced properties of the disabled user object that owns the mailbox, click Mailbox Rights, and then search the list of accounts for one
that has the Associated External Account permission.
4. If no account has this permission, grant the SELF account Associated External Account and Full Mailbox Access permissions.

Entourage cannot see tasks in public folders in exchange 2003

Hi,
I have a bunch of users using entourage on their macs and they cannot see a public folder task list from an exchange 2003 server. They can see their mail, contacts, calendar, etc...
Has anyone ever seen this?? The rights on the public folder have them as owners of the folder so they should be able to see it. When the users click on the folder it says it is empty... but is isn't. Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
Please refer to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2249852/en-us
The issue occurs when the Internet Information Services (IIS) website that hosts the Exchange Web Services (EWS) virtual directory contains a site binding that binds to an IPv6 address.
Note It is a known issue that this configuration may cause an exception .
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Cannot Uninstall Exchange 2003 from former SBS2003 server

Hi,
I have this problem uninstalling Exchange 2003 from a prior SBS2003 installation.
Started with SBS2003 with Exchange2003 on server1
Then added server2, with Exchange2003 Standard
Then transitioned succesfully Server1 from SBS2003 to Server2003 Standard with Exchange2003 standard.
Now I have added 3 Exchange2010 servers and migrated completely to Exchange2010.
Uninstallation of Exchange2003 Standard from Server2 went succesfully.
I cannot find a way to uninstall the last Exchange2003 Standard from Server1
In Control Panel add remove programs there's no option to enter SBS setup anymore.
When starting setup.exe from SBS CD2 (i386 directory) I'm asked for a Product Key but I have no valid key to enter. Tried SBS key, Transition key, nothing works.
When downloading an Exchange2003 SP2 installation exe I only have the option to upgrade the existing installation. No option to uninstall.
What is the way forward? I'm stuck right now.
Regards,
Joost

Hello,
If you don't uninstall exchange 2003 in Control Panel add/remove programs, you may need to uninstall it by ADSIEDIT. Do not remove this Administrative Group unless you’re absolutely sure there’s
no object in Active Directory referencing this Administrative Group in the ExchangeLegacyDN attribute.

It works on our Exchange 2003 GAL. I wonder if your environment is fully patched (at least SP2) or if there are some restrictions on the information provided for a GAL query.

Cannot send smtp exchange 2003 email on iPad2

So I have an iPhone running OS 4.2.3, that I have my smtp email hosted via MS Exchang 2003. Everything works fine. I just picked up an iPad2 runing OS 4.3.2 and I cannot get it to send email. I have double/triple checked the settings. They are exactly the same. It receives email without issues. I get an error about "this sender address is invalid". Can anyone help? Thanks

Phones cannot connect with mailboxes homed on a remote Exchange 2003 server.

Lost our frontend server and setup new services on an existing Exchange 2003 server.
The now current Frontend server is one of 3 Exchange 2003 servers.
The Frontend server and one more Exchange server are on the same subnet and the 3<sup>rd</sup> is at a remote location.
It is this remotely located Exchange server that users with phone cannot access their mailboxes homed on that server.
This is what is working now.
All remoter Outlook clients can connect via rpc over http to all Exchange 2003 servers
Phones can only connect to mailboxes homed on the Exchanged server located on the same subnet as the Frontend server.
Can you offer any direction?
As a business decision, we are gearing up to put new Exchange 2013 servers into a new forest and migrate the users.
we are now looking at rehome affected users' mailboxes to the exchange server that is accepting the phone connections.
Thank you,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
In your case, I recommend you move the problematic mailboxes to the Exchange server that is accepting the phone connections for troubleshooting.

Certified bug: MAP 9.2 cannot detect Exchange 2003

I am having a very frustrating problem in using the MAP toolkit to inventory my network. It detects SQL 2005 with no problem, but no way, no how, will it report that I have an Exchange server, even though I have the option checked, the server selected,
and the proper credentials entered. It always comes up with "0" for Exchange servers. I have run the Microsoft Best Practices analyzer tool for Exchange, and it passes all the scans -- including permissions and connectivity -- with no problems reported.
Is MAP 9.2 even capable of detecting Exchange 2003? If so, what's the secret?

I finally made contact with the right Microsoft engineer about this problem. Early in our dialogue, he acknowledged replicating the problem:
"I have one of my engineers tested the question on Exchange 2003, and it is indeed an option that does not work any more (as there are others …)"
But eventually via the logs we discovered what the problem was: the "all computers credentials" account names have to be in fully qualified FQDN notation -- "domain\administrator," not just "administrator".

Cannot provision Exchange 2003 account in OIM 11gR2

Hello,
I'm trying to provision Exchange 2003 accounts from OIM 11gR2 but I keep getting errors. My AD connector works and is able to reconcile and provision account and my Exchange connector is linked to it. I've understood that the only mandatory fields in the Exchange 2003 provisioning form are "mail store name" and "alias", so I've tested by only filling those. However, the provisioning does not complete and the logs show this error :

Are you using the version 9 or 11 of the connector? I've done more investigations with version 9 and realized that the DB is not correctly updated by the connector. I've reported the problem with Oracle and a bug has been open. Here are the details :
When reconciling or provisioning a mailbox, a new row is added in the OIU table. This row has "null" as its APP_INSTANCE_KEY. Manually setting the Exchange's app instance key as the value of this column solves the problem.
Hope this helps!

Cannot Connect to Microsoft Exchange 2003

Hello all ,
I just bought my new iMac , i have been trying ti synchronize my internal emails ( work emails ) with Microsoft exchange 2003 but was not able to do so . I was using my laptop ( power book ) that has leopard 10.5.8 and mail 3.5 , it was working perfectly . Any new update that will fix this issue ? or is there a way to configure mail to synchronize with exchange 2003 ?

What is really weird from Apple is that the Iphone is connecting to exchange without wondering wether it's an exchange 2003 or 2007, but Mail does....
I connected my Iphone in a matter of minutes, but I just realized that it is a 2003 exchange server that I'm connected with.
So I asked my Admin wether I can connect thru IMAP.

Remove a domain from Exchange 2003, now other domains cannot send to the old domain error 5.1.1

We have a single Exchange 2003 server. We have multiple mail domains on the server, but are slowly moving to a hosted email solution. I moved the first domain, I will call it
domainABC, to our hosted solution. I have removed all exchange mailboxes from the users, and deselected the domain from Recipient Policies. I then ran the policy.
Whenever I send an email to anyone on Domain ABC from any other domain on the Exchange server, I get the 5.1.1 message. I am not sure what to do next - any help would be appreciated...
Brian

Hi Brian,
Could you post the detail information for the NDR message?
When you migrate all the users to the host email server, did you change mx record point to the new server?
You also can use this tool to help you check for the inbound email test (for Domain ABC).

Exchange 2003 to 2010 Migration

Hello,
I seem to have ran into issues with Default GAL, default address lists, email address policies, OAB, etc.
Background: Exchange 2003, with one FE and one BE server with multiple domains for mail access. We decided to migrate to 2010 and have one hyper-v server with 3 VMS running AD, CAS/HT and MBX roles respectively. All the AD preparations and installation (exchange
2010 Sp2) of CAS/HT role was smooth. When I installed the MBX role it was successful but could not see Public Folder Database and was unable to create one because of AddressList errors and had to be upgraded to 2010. Since there were multiple domains, LDAP
filter were used and those had to be updated with OPATH filters and I used the "ConvertFrom-LdapFilter.ps1" script to convert and upgrade to 2010. I could do this for all the custom address lists but it did not run for "All Users", "All
Groups" "All Contacts" as it says ADObject cannot be found on exchange2003 server.
I created a test mailbox on the new server and could login using OWA but cannot see GAL or search for addresses. I could send and receive email from 2010 to both 2003 mailbox & external domain with no issues. I did configure the CAS role with legacy
URL (existing OWA URL https://myweb.domain.net/exchange) for exchange2003 and a new URL (https://mymail.domain.net/owa) for exchange 2010 and also enabled Outlook Anywhere, MS Active Sync, etc. But I cannot setup outlook using autodiscover or even manually
by providing the info. I have to start migrating users and this has become a big show stopper and would appreciate if anyone could help/guide me through this to troubleshoot/fix the issues and move the mailboxes ASAP.
Some errors:

Thanks,

Hi SyedSF,
From your problem description, it seems that you have a permission problem here. Maybe you have had Address List Segregation configured in Exchange 2003 and that is not supported in Exchange 2010.
I recommend you to use ADSIEdit to check the permissions on "All Address Lists", "All Global Address Lists" and "Offline Address Lists". Include inherited permissions should be checked and "Authenticated Users" should have the permissions read and "Open
address list".
What's more, here are some similar threads for your reference.

Any ideas for how to sync to Exchange 2003 - contacts and calendar

Hi
I am still searching for a mechanism to give me the sync solution I want, which is as follows:
At work I have a PC running Outlook 2003 via an Exchange Server 2003 setup.
At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard
In the middle I have an iPhone 3G
I want to sync Calendar and Contacts across all three machines.
I want to sync work email between the Exchange server and the iphone, but do NOT need this to sync on my iMac at home
That's it.
At the moment I can sync email, calendars and contacts successfully between the Exchange server and iPhone, using the over-the-air Exchange Sync on the iPhone. But sadly my iMac will not sync contacts and calendars to the exchange server 2003 as Snow Leopard only supports exchange 2007.
Ironically (because I don't need this bit to work) I have managed to get my iMac to sync with my Exchange server EMAIL, by selecting the Exchange IMAP option when setting up the mail account on my iMac (as opposed to the Exchange 2007 option). However, I cannot get iCal or Address book to sync with Exchange 2003, regardless of the options I select when setting up the new accounts in Address book or iCal. I guess these just do not work with Exchange 2003
I know that I cannot use mobileme as a solution, as you cannot have two over-the-air syncs going on, and I need to maintain my iphone link to the exchange server via activesync
I also know that using itunes to sync via the cable will not work, as this creates separate contacts and calendar files on the iphone and so does not provide the syncing solution I seek.
I have tried using google to act as the middle man between my iMac and Exchange server data - getting the iMac to sync to Google Calandar and Google Address Book, and then using a third party piece of software called gsyncit to sync from google to the .ost outlook file on my PC workstation. This works some of the time, but keeps crashing and leaving me with multiple duplicates to have to sort out - much too much hard work on a regular basis.
So I still do not have a solution. Unfortunately upgrading to Exchange server 2007 is not a solution.....
Any new ideas out there
Thanks

I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

Exchange 2003 Removal fails w/ Error code 0X80072030 (8240): There is no such object on the server- pls read

Dear all,
I know there are quite some threads regarding this issue. But I've been looking at all of them w/o any solution for my problem. Here we go...
I've followed all instructions for a Exchange 2003 to 2010 transition. All went fine to the point I'm trying to uninstall Exchange 2003 via Control Panel/Software/Remove. So far I did the following:
1. Move mailboxes to Exchange Server 2010 using Move Mailbox Wizard or Powershell => successfully
2. Rehome the Offline Address Book (OAB) generation server to Exchange Server 2010 => successfully
3. Rehome Public Folder Hierarchy on new Exchange Server 2010 Admin Group => successfully
4. Transfer all Public Folder Replicas to Exchange Server 2010 Public folder store => successfully
5. Delete Public and Private Information Stores from Exchange 2003 server => successfully
6. Delete Routing Group Connectors to Exchange Server 2003 => successfully
7. Delete Recipient Update Service agreements using ADSIEdit according to
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288905(EXCHG.80).aspx => successfully
8. Uninstall all Exchange 2003 servers => fails with "Error code 0X80072030 (8240): There is no such object on the server"
I used the following articles while migrating to Exchange 2010:

and several more.
I looked into these forums regarding my problem and came up with:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283089/en-us
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822931
I investigated the following possible reasons:
- homeMDB attribute (no references to my Exchange 2003 anymore)
- HomeMDBBL attribute (as described here
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrmigration/thread/f0e3edd7-34e5-46b8-8061-1991aaffc30f) (no Information Stores available anymore as they have been successfully removed)
- msExchHomeServerName attribute (all pointing to my new Exchange 2010 server)
- the "famous" postmaster issue as described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283089/en-us (pointing to the new Exchange 2010 server)
In order to investigate all attribute related issues a utilized a VBS script resulting in an Excel sheet I was easily able to filter:

                objSheet.Cells(1, i + 1).Value = rs.Fields(i).Name
                objSheet.Cells(1, i + 1).Font.Bold = TRUE
NEXT
objSheet.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset(rs)
objWB.SaveAs(strExportFile)
rs.close
cn.close
SET objSheet = NOTHING
SET objWB = NOTHING
objExcel.Quit()
SET objExcel = NOTHING
Wscript.echo "Script Finished..Please See " & strExportFile
What I did find is that all my Exchange enabled users have an legacyExchangeDN attribute that is still pointing to my Exchange 2003 organization:
e.g. "/o=First Organisation/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=Administrator"
Could this cause any problems?
Now the in depth look into my "Exchange Server Setup Progress.log":

I did search for:
- Error code 0X80072030 (8240)
- ScPRQ_ServerIsNotRUSResponsibleServerInTheNonEmptyOrg
Nothing so far. In case some more information is needed just let me know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I absolutely don't know how to remove my Exchange 2003. Manual removal is not an option.

I kept on searching and found something else:
http://www.outlookforums.com/threads/33038-cannot-uninstall-Exchange-2000
It says that the following groups need to be resided in the AD's default "Users" organizational unit:
- Exchange Domain Servers
- Exchange Enterprise Servers
- Exchange Services Group
Unfortunately I cannot find the "Exchange Services Group". Does that have something to do with my problem?
Furthermore I found out that the Exchange 2003 has been originally installed with SBS 2003 back in time. The SBS 2003 has then be migrated to a regular Windows Server 2003 infrastructure with 2 DCs. But there still is a load of stuff reminiscent of SBS
2003 within the AD.
Then I dug deeper into my AD using ADSIEdit. I found another attribute homeMTA that is pointing to a corresponding Exchange server. After adjusting my aforementioned VBS script a was able to look into that attribute as well. I found 2 users pointing to my old
Exchange server within their homeMTA attribute.
Furthermore I saw that when trying to uninstall Exchange 2003 there is no path to my installation anymore. It's empty:
Another issue?
