Exchange 2003 to 2007 mailbox move - Multi-threading

Hi all,
i was moving mailboxes from 2003 to 2007sp3, i was trying to move 10 mailboxes at a time using max thread command line, but it seems to working only two at a time, can you please advise?
tnx

Are you using the EMS to initiate the moves? If so, use the -MaxThreads parameter to increase the number of concurrent moves.
However, the default is "4". If only two are moving at a time there's probably some throttling going on because of poor performance. Increasing the concurrency probably would result in worse performance.
I forget if the restriction on the 2003 side is "2". If it is, you can run multiple sessions and increase the concurrency in that way. It's not the same as increasing the number of threads, but multiple processes may get you the increase you need. Just
don't overdo it. :-)

Exchange 2003, Outlook 2007 and Free/Busy options

We are using Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2007 our Free/Busy options are not showing up, is the a copatibility issue between the two?

Hi,
It is by design that there is no Free/busy option for Exchange 2003 mailbox. Here is a similar thread for your issue:

Exchange 2003 to 2010 migration move public folder

Hello.
I'm on the road to Exchange 2010 migration and stuck at on question
All tutorial says then you want to replicate system PF and Public Folders you need to add PF 2010 in ESM and set replication to Urgent,that's all
But then i view my system PF replication on Exchange 2010 i see checkbox Use public folder is checked and replication shedule on Exchange 2010 is set to Never run(greyed out)
Is this right? Or i need to uncheck it and then shedule is set to Always run automaticly?
Do i need to do it for all PF? (system and non-system)?

Hi stevemaystr,
Don’t worry about the replication of PF, we can use the MoveAllReplicas.ps1 and ReplaceReplicaOnPFRecursive.ps1 script to move all public folder and all replicas to another database, please refer to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb331970(v=exchg.141).aspx
Additional, I find an similar thread about Migrate PF from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, for your reference:

Exchange 2007 mailbox move gone bad(?)

Hi to all,
I wonder if you can help me and point me to a direction to very "tricky" situation:
A have the datastore1 and datastore2. I have a backup (using backupexec) of both of them from Monday.
I moved some mailboxes from datastore1 to datastore2. Move completed successfully.
Later on, Disk on which datastore2 had corrupted, before a backup with the moved mailboxes has taken place. The files that exist now in the dir are:
\CatalogData-42f294a5-16b2-4c13-9080-698b7a7443bc-cc64dd2d-2428-4f12-bba2-79d6d34c4d27
E03.chk
E03.log
E0300000B44.log
[lot's of files....]
E03000117E6.log
E03000117E7.log
E03000117E8.log
E03000117E9.log
E03000117EA.log
E03res00001.jrs
E03res00002.jrs
tmp.edb
...as you can imagine the tmp.edb is not the filename of the datastore.
Can anyone suggest what can be done to recover the mailboxes??
Thank you in advance for any ideas...

Were you keeping the database and log files in the same directory? If you were, the problem isn't an Exchange problem, it's a problem of "where did the database file go".
If the assumption is that the file simply gone, with no hope of recovery, you can create a recovery storage group (RSG) and put the backup of the database of datastore1 in there. Then you can delete all the files for datastore2 and mount the database
(creating an empty database). You can them recover the contents of the mailboxes you moved (as of Monday) from the RSG to the empty datastore2. You'll have lost everything between Monday's backup and the time you created the empty datastore2 database.

Exchange 2007 Mailbox Move

Hi Guys,
I am migrating from Exchange server to another in the same domain
Is ther a script to migrate multiple mailboxes using powershell?
I know I can use the GUI to migrate multiple mailboxes together but surely there is a faster way ?
Thanks

Exchange 2003 to 2010 mailbox migration fails

I'm trying to move users from my single 2003 server to my 2010 3-node DAG.
I get this error for several of the mailboxes I'm moving:
Error: Mailbox changes failed to replicate. Database 33da328a-9b34-43ba-8914-1be08f143e17 doesn't satisfy the constraint SecondCopy because the commit time 2/14/2014 9:01:30 AM isn't guaranteed by replication time 2/14/2014 8:55:22 AM.
When I manually kick off a move I notice the CQL and the RQL will sometimes get in the hundreds on my third server.
I queued up about 40 users totaling about 45 GB to be moved last night and 11 of them failed with the above error.
I have a very simple setup.
3 servers
1 DAG
1 active DB and 2 passive copies
All servers are virtualized with each running on a separate host
Each VM is connected to a NetApp SAN via iSCSI
All 3 VMs have 2 redundant connections per vNIC and are connected to 2 different switches
All 3 VMs are local, none are remote
The MSExchangeMailboxReplication.exe.config looks like this:
MaxMoveHistoryLength = "2"
MaxActiveMovesPerSourceMDB = "5"
MaxActiveMovesPerTargetMDB = "5"
MaxActiveMovesPerSourceServer = "50"
MaxActiveMovesPerTargetServer = "5"
MaxTotalMovesPerMRS = "100"
I know about setting the DataMoveReplicationConstraint to None trick but I don't think I need to do that since none of my databases are on a WAN. Shouldn't my local moves be able to keep up? That sounds like a band-aid and not a true fix
to the underlying problem.
Could this be an issue with the source server's disk speed?
I've turned the firewalls off on all the servers but still encountered the errors.
My content indexes are healthy.
I've checked the switches and the VMware servers for misconfigurations and errors.
I'm researching the various PerfMon counters to watch now to see if it could be disk-related.

I've been watching this server over the past couple of days and researching the performance output.
==========
Good Server:
Physical Disk: Avg. Disk sec/Read (DB): Usually between 10 and 50
Physical Disk: Avg. Disk sec/Write (LOGS): Less than 10
Bad Server:
Physical Disk: Avg. Disk sec/Read (DB): Constant spikes to 100 (1-2 times every 10 seconds)
Physical Disk: Avg. Disk sec/Write (LOGS): Spikes to 30-40 2-3 times per 10 second interval
The % Processor Time rarely hits 10
The Avg. Disk sec/Transfer for C: is mostly 0
Bytes Received/sec MAPI is less than 10 with spikes to 45. This is a Passive node so that's to be expected.
Bytes Received/sec iSCSI is 100 steady with no drops
Bytes Receied/sec REPL is less than 10
Bytes Sent/sec MAPI spikes from 10-20
Bytes Sent/sec iSCSI usually stays at 100 with the occasional drop to 10
Bytes Send/sec REPL is less than 10
Output Queue Length for all three NICs is 0
No Received or Outbound Packet Errors
==========
The vSphere versions of both physical servers are identical as is all of the firmware.
Regarding the guest OS on each, the good server has an older NIC (vmxnet3) driver, whereas the bad server has a newer driver.
The iSCSI Initiator on each guest OS is the same version.
The switch configs are identical for every iSCSI port and there are no errors on either.

Exchange Server Std 2007 mailbox store problem with a single account email showing

Under Exchange mailbox store there is no existent account name who is receiving and sending email without any errors.
Account was not hidden and was always working. Email client of this account works properly with Outlook 2007. Accounts listing in Exchange management snap-in does not contain his email record. We found that address book of other client does not display his
name and tried to find his record to uncheck hidden but there was no any records in the list. How to find and fix this problem if no errors encountered with the delivery of his mail and replies back?

Hi,
From your description, I recommend you check if this problematic user is existed in ADUC. What's more, I recommend you create a same email account in your Exchange server and check if there is any error.

Exchange 2010 On-Premises Mailbox Move

We have created another database within a DAG and moved the users from an existing database to the new database. Mailflow is working correctly but we have one issue. The OWA no longer works for these users. If the users tries to logon or if I try to access
their mailbox using OWA the response is "Your mailbox appears to be unavailable. try to access it again in 10 seconds. If you see this error again, contact your helpdesk". Inheritable permissions are set on the user account in AD.
Is there some permissions I need to add to the new database or IIS?
Exchange 2010 SP2
HossFly, Exchange Administrator

Hi hossFly,
Thank you for your question.
We could run the following command:
Clean-MailboxDatabase <databasename>
For example:This example cleans the mailbox database MBD01.
Clean-MailboxDatabase MBD01
If the issue persist, we could run the following command:
New-MailboxRepairRequest -Database "<Mailbxname>" –CorruptionType ProvisionedFolder,SearchFolder,AggregateCounts,Folderview
Then we could restarted MS Exchange Mailbox Assistant to check if the issue persist.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

ICal + iPhone + Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2007 + "all day" Events 7 hours off

Whenever an ALL DAY event is created on either the iPhone or iCal when the event is synced thru Entourage and into the Exchange Server and into Outlook 2007 the appointments are off -7 hours which I believe works out to GMT with Daylight savings time kicked in. Times are correct in Entourage. Correcting the time (making it an ALL DAY event) in Outlook 2007 and the resulting re-syncing does not impact Entourage, iCal or the iPhone. Since iPhone is syncing via iCal as the first step, I believe the issue is with iCal no the iPhone.
Time Zone Support is OFF on iCal and the iPhone.
iPhone updated to 1.0.1
iTunes updated to 7.3.2.6
iCals ver 2.0.5.1069
Vista Premium and Outlook 2007 Fully Patched
Thanks

This had no impact on the problem. I have confirmed that this is an issue with iCal and not the iPhone. An all day appointment on for example August 15 created in iCal shows up correctly in Entourage syncing to an Exchange Server. However, when the appointment propogates to Outlook 2007, the All Day event now displays as from 7:00 pm August 14 to 7:00 pm on August 15.
Time Zone support has no impact regardless of setting on iCal.
Close inspection of the Event in Outlook shows ALL DAY is selected but the greyed out times are from 7 to 7 as described above.

IPhone - Exchange 2003 - Downloading entire mailbox everytime iPhone Sleeps

iPhone keeps downloading the entire mailbox, every time it awakes from sleep mode. Is there anything that could be causing this?

Hi mehrardt,
It does sound like the exchange email account has to be removed from the iPhone and then added again.
If he has another personal email account on the iPhone, you can have him delete the exchange account and then tap a configuration profile that you emailed him.
The iPhone Configuration Utility available here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/ will let you create a configuration profile with certificates, which you can email. The receiver would just tap the profile and it would configure the iPhone.

Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 cross forest simultaneous mailbox move limits

Hi All,
I am testing the throughput of mailbox moves from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 cross forest. Single mailbox moves seem to be quite fast and I am not concerned about network, disk IO or server resource limitations, however I have not tested multiple simultaneous
mailbox moves to determine what the Exchange limitations are. If anyone could identify the limitations of the items below it would be much appreciated:
Limit of Exchange 2007 simultaneous mailbox moves per database
Limit of Exchange 2007 simultaneous mailbox moves per Mailbox server
Limit of Exchange 2007 simultaneous mailbox moves per CAS server
Limit of Exchange 2010 simultaneous mailbox moves per database
Limit of Exchange 2010 simultaneous mailbox moves per Mailbox server
Limit of Exchange 2010 simultaneous mailbox moves per CAS server
Any other Exchange 2007 or 2010 hard coded limits
Thanks in advance.
Michael.

My usual answer to this question is that Microsoft set these limits for a reason. Increasing them may not offer you much in the way of benefits if you end up slamming the server. I generally recommend that you leave them alone.
I have had occasional opportunities to change these constraints, most notably back during a migration to Exchange 2003 and international mailbox moves (Asia to U.S.) where the limiting factor was network latency. I was able to increase the number of
concurrent threads to 16 from the default 2 and there was still available bandwidth because the process was limited by the latency.

Outlook 2007 cached mode not working for old exchange 2003 users

For some reason outlook isn't receiving emails straight away when in cached mode for users which we moved (few years ago) from exchange 2003 to 2007 (we now have everyone on exchange 2010). I checked the security tab in AD and compared new and old users
and the permissions are completely different.
Creating a new AD account and linking the old email account to it, fixes the issue but that's not really an option for over 100 users.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello,
What's the difference between the permissions?
Can the users receive emails from OWA?
In addition, please make sure your Outlook 2007 has installed the latest update. And try to use
outlook/cleanips and check if it helps. See:

Should cancelled mailbox moves result in any moved mail data removed from target server?

I was moving mailboxes from 1 DB to another. 3 out of 120 were left running for 12 hours; they were the biggest ones and it was very slow to process the items. There were also reports of slowness on the server so I had no choice but to cancel the moves.
My question is should cancelled mailbox moves result in any moved mail data being removed from the target database? It doesn't appear that my disk as increased in space again so I'm wondering if it's there as whitespace maybe? There is an event logged to say
the mailbox has been deleted from the target.
Would appreciate if someone can clear this up and possibly explain exactly what occurs during this type of scenario.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for your kindly remind.
In Exchange 2000, 2003 and 2007 mailboxes become unavailable during movement, when a mailbox move takes place, the mailbox isn't actually moved, it's just copied to the destination location. Once that copy has finished, AD is updated to point to the new location
and the old mailbox is deleted from the source EDB file.
The most different between Exchange 2010 and legacy version in move mailbox is that allows end-users to be online in their email accounts. On completing the move users just needs to reopen their Outlook clients.
Mailbox Move Requests are a new feature set of Exchange 2010 and requires running a series of Cmdlets to perform asynchronous online mailbox moves with the help of a service agent called Mailbox Replication Service (MRS). MRS is available on all Exchange 2010
Client Access Servers.

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?

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.
