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 2003 to 2010 SP3 migrate system PF

Hello.
We on the road to move to Exchange 2010 and i have a question
Which system PF i need to replicate to Exchange 2010
I have:
Offline address book:
/o=orgname=cn addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=Defaul Offline Address Book (which replicated between exch 2003 and 2010) and subfolders there:
OAB version 2 (replicated between 2003 and 2010)
OAB version 3a (replicated between 2003 and 2010)
OAB version 4 (replicated between 2003 and 2010)
EX:/o=sovbank/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) (don't have any replica at all)
EX:/o=sovbank/ou=First Administrative Group (replicated between 2003 and 2010)
Shedule and Free Busy folder which contain subfolder:
EX:/o=sovbank/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) (don't have any replica at all)
EX:/O=SOVBANK/OU=EXTERNAL (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) (don't have any replica at all)
EX:/o=sovbank/ou=First Administrative Group (replicated between 2003 and 2010)
Question is - did i add all replica right?
Can i execute MoveAllReplica.ps1 or i miss something?
P.S. We don't use EFORM so i don't repicate it at all

Each time you create a new user mailbox, the user account receive the LegacyExchangeDN property.
This property is set only once and will match the administrative group that the mailbox server belong to.
In a Exchange 2003/2010 migration, your old user will have a legacyDN strting with EX:/o=sovbank/ou=First Administrative Group[..] while the user recently created in E2010 will have EX:/o=sovbank/ou=Exchange
Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) [...]
So what is the link between this and the PF? The answer is outlook.
When an outlook client, with a mailbox hosted on E2003, create a meeting request with other users and check for the availability, that query is against the public folder Schedule freebusy folder of each users.
That folder is updated, by outlook, each time you create an appointement or accept a meeting request. In the background outlook "push" your free/busy status to his "local"public folder. see here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996946(EXCHG.65).aspx
In E2010 native, the query are handled by the availability service however that service is not reachable by E2003, or outlook 2003, therefore for backward compatibility any outlook client (even outlook 2010) connected to an E2010 mailbox will also
"push" the free busy data to the local PF.
If you see "unable to read FREE busy data" when creating a meeting,between E2003 and E2010, that is because your local PF does not have a replica of that information for this user.
So to answer the question, yes the folder Shedule and Free busy -EX:/o=sovbank/ou=Exchange Administrative Group
(FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) need to be replicated on all servers.

Mirgrate from 2003 to 2010, mailbox migrates complete, but recipient mailbox still shows connected to 2003 server

Last night I migrated the last of my 2003 accounts to 2010 server. (we have successfully migrated 1000+ accounts with no issue). This morning, I looked at the Move Requests and they all showed as Completed. Some users reported being unable
to open their mailboxes. When I look in EMC, the mailbox recipient shows still connected to the old 2003 mailbox. When I try to manually migrate them, I receive an error that the user is already in the target database. (I have already cleared the
move request)
Looking in Disconnected mailboxes - they do not show up.
2003 ESM shows them as disconnected mailboxes.
How can I get them to connect to the database in 2010?

Both servers have been rebooted - thereby, restarting the store.
If other people try to email these users they receive the following bounce messages.

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 :
http://exchangeserverpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Exchange-Server-2003-to-2010-Migration-Guide-V1.3-Planning-Chapter.pdf

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.

Exchange 2003 to 2010 Migration Active-Sync & OWA

I am in the process of migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. I have a co-existence running currently. I have moved 1 mail box over to the new exchange server (a test account I created). I have 2 questions, one about OWA and the other about Active-Sync/Mobile
access.
1. When I log into my internal OWA site I can access the webmail just fine. However when I try to go to my external OWA site I get a HTTP Error 404. I have setup the weblink https://webmail.company.com in my external DNS record. However the internal link
says it is https://webmail.company.com/owa. Is there something additional that needs to be setup in IIS for the external site to work or only after the migration is completed?
2. I tried adding the account I migrated to my cell phone for mail but I just get a "Connection to server has failed" message. The internal and external link for mobile access is both the same and setup in external DNS https://mail.comapny.com.
Is this a feature that only works after the migration is completed? I have ports 80,443,143,25,993 open in my sonicwall for e-mail services. However the IP is still set to my old exchange server. Is it possible to have 2 settings the same in sonicwall with
2 different IP's? Last time I tried it with migrating my VPN neither VPN server worked after that.
Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated. I am new to systems administration and this is my first exchange migration

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to :
1. To deploy OWA in the Exchange 2003 and 2010 coexistence, we need a legacy namespace for the Exchange 2003 server.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/12/02/3408921.aspx
Additionally, for the 404 error, I recommend you check the IIS log to find the root cause:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943891
2. I recommend you deploy Exchange 2010 in the "Internet Facing AD Site" and Exchange 2003 server in the "Non-Internet facing AD site": set the external URL in CAS 2010 and point mail.company.com to Exchange 2010 server IP address.

Exchange 2003 to 2010 migration issues

Hello,
I have installed exchange 2010 in my legacy 2003 environment six months ago.
i have moved all the mailboxes, Public folders to exchange 2010 and created routing group connectors between 2003 -2010.
now unfortunately the legacy server got crashed. now the problem is we are unable to receive emails.
Can somebody help on this.
Thanks,
Sanjay.

you need to verify that mail flow is configured for exchange 2001
Verify that Internet mail flow is configured to route through your Exchange 2010 transport servers. For more information, see the following topics:

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

Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2010 hangs if deleted shared mailbox exists into profile

Environment - Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2010 published via Citrix
We recently did the cleanup of shared mailboxes which are no longer needed. However post our activity we found that many users are reporting that their Outlook is hanging for a long time during startup and it continues while working on outlook. Upon investigation
we found that their Outlook profile was having 1 or 2 shared mailboxes listed which were deleted from organization. As soon these shared mailboxes were removed from profile the Outlook started working fine.
Is this know issue of Outlook and if any hotfix available for same, I have already checked the 'download shared folder' option which isn't selected.

Hi,
Maybe the issue is related to the default behavior in Outlook.
How about try the following:

Public folders are not in sync after settting up Replicas between Exchange 2003 and 2010

I have setup Public Folder replicas between the 2 Exchange servers and I can see all the top and sub level folders.
For those mailboxes that were migrated over to Exchange 2010, I have noticied a lower number of item contents in these fodders when views from an Outlook client whose mailbox had been migrated over to Exchange 2010.
On Exchange 2003 System Manager, if I properties one of the Public Folders, under the Replicataion tab, I can see the old and new server there. On the Exchange server 2003 box, I can see the last update reviced was a few weeks ago.
I did see an option to synchronize content but I am not sure which server to run this one from. The Exchange 2003 or 2010 server.
There is also a Resend Changes... option. Should I use this instead?
Can anyone advise?

Hi,
The "Resend changes" and "Synchronize content" options in Exchange 2003 ESM are used to initiate hierarchy and content replication.
To update public folder hierarchy and content from Exchange 2010 side, you can use the following commands.
Update-PublicFolderHierarchy
Update-PublicFolder
Please run the Get-publicfolderstatistics cmdlet to get public folder details such as item count, this information will help you compare content replicated between the source and destination servers.
Besides, here is a blog about public folder replication troubleshooting for your reference.

Running Unity with both Exchange 2003 and 2010?

My company is planning to upgrade from Exchange 2003 to 2010. We are
currently using Unity 7.0. We'd like to run the two in parrallel for a bit and take our time switching users over.
Now I've read that Unity can support Exchange 2010, but I haven't found anything about running Unity using both Exchange 2003 and 2010 in parrallel.
Is this something Unity can handle?

We're doing something similar, but we have an in-place Unity 7 and Exchange 2003 environment; we are putting some users from an org we support on an Exchange 2010 server, but do not want that to be the partner server (yet). The instructions seem to point you to making 2010 the partner; I'm wondering why Step 13 (of your link) we are uninstalling the Exchange Server 2003 System Management Tools, if it’s a mixed environment and 2003 will still be the partner server. I also saw somewhere that you don’t have to move the unitymsgstoresvc account to Exchange 2010 if you are in a mixed environment. Is that true? Thank you.

Exchange 2003 to 2010 Migration Mailbox Migration "Object not found"

I am introducing an Exchange 2010 Server to a single server Exchange 2003 organization. I have HT, CAS and MB roles installed already on 2010 w/ SP1. Prepped the Schema, AD, Domain and LegacyExchangePermissions by using the setup.com of the SP1

Exchange 2003 to 2010 migration mailflow issue

Hello,
I have a server 2003 w/ exchange 2003 that we are upgrading to 2010 to support Outlook 2013.
So we installed a windows 2008 server and exchange 2010. We followed a guide to help with the different steps and didn't have problem or error until now.
So what we have right now, is exchange 2003 with still ALL mailboxes.
Replications of folders is done.
Policies are updated.
The firewall is forwarding port 25 to the new exchange 2010 server:
Emails are coming in fine.
Internal emails are also perfectly fine (from internal user to internal users).
the only thing that is giving us trouble is the emails coming out. None of them are going out and they are getting "stuck" in the "routing group connector" on the 2003 machine.
The 2010 exchange has a simple send connector set SMTP/* with this server as source. The 2003 exchange only had the exch2003-exch2010 connector.
Because emails were kind of accumulating (80+) I decided to take the send connector on the 2010 exchange out. and added back a send connector on the 2003 exchange. This kind of "fixed" it as now all emails are going just fine. It also fixed
the queue as part of it got liberated when I added the 2003 send connector.
I still have 25 emails stuck in this "routing group connector" that I'd like to take care of.
We are obviously not done with the migration and this coexistence phase as actual mailboxes still need to be moved.
So I'd like to take care of this queue in the routing group connector as well as continue the process of being able to receive and send from the 2010 machine only. then I would continue the migration process.
FYI, the 2003-2010 connector was created using power shell on the 2010 machine. I am not using any smarthost.
and the error message (in the queue) I get is: "unable to bind to the destination server in DNS"
FYI, my 2003 server is called "SERVER1" and the 2010 server is "SERVER2", they're on the same local domain company.local.
FYI (not sure if that's relevant), the server1 exchange has a different certificate (different domain name) than the new server (server2) as our web host finally allowed us to use subdomains. not trying to confuse anyone but I am really stuck there and maybe
this is related: certificate for the exchange 2003 machine: www.company-mail.com (only 1) and certificates for the exchange 2010 are: mail.company.com / autodiscover.company.com (and a legacy.company.com we may not need since the actual coexistence phase will/should
be short).
any idea what's wrong here?

I added back the send connector on the 2010 exchange. everything still works fine since I still have the send connector on the 2003. However...
I connected through telnet to server2 (the exchange 2010) and was able to mail internally. however I couldn't send mail externally, it gives me a "cannot relay" error when I enter my rcpt to:... command.
I am guessing that this may be the reason why the queue is not emptying itself through that send connector.
Anything else I could try to test my "send connector" on the 2010 exchange?

Exchange 2003 to 2010 Migration OAB Generation Issue

Hi
I am in the process of migrating from 2003 to 2010. All mailboxes are moved across and email in and out are moving through the 2010. However I cannot move the oab generation server as when i go to change the generating server my New 2010 server is not listed
only the two old 2003 servers. This is a child domain in a large organization and is one of a large number of exchange servers forestwide. I have created a new oab and asigned to the mailboxes on the new 2010 server. The old 2003 server is off for over a week
and there are no issues.
I now need to remove both 2003 servers, what issues will not being able to move the generation server cause (If any if i am using a new oab). Also I am following the remove last exchange server line as this is the last 2003 server in this child domain are
there any issues with this in this scenario?

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that all mailboxes have been moved to Exchange 2010 and a new OAB is created for all users in your environment.
Please make sure the new created OAB is generated by Exchange 2010 and Enabled Web-based distribution. If there are any Outlook 2003 users in your environment, the public folder distribution should also be enabled. Then we can set the new one as default.
If so, all users in Exchange 2010 would use the new created OAB by default.
If you want to double check the OAB configuration, we can run the following command to check it:
Get-OfflineAddressBook | FL
Additionally, if your migration is complete and successful, we can follow the article below to remove the last legacy Exchange server from your Exchange 2010 organization:
