Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 migration steps

HI ,
I have migrated windows 2003 to windows 2008.Its successfully migrated.
Second phase i have a plan to migrate exchange 2003 to exchange 2010.
My current setup
windows 2008 64bit (DC)
exchange 2003 sp2
1
Bring the Exchange organization to Exchange Native Mode.
2
Upgrade all Exchange Servers to Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2.
3
Bring the AD forest and domains to Windows Server 2003 Functional (or higher) levels.
4
Upgrade at least one Global Catalog domain controller in each AD site that will house Exchange Server
to Windows Server 2003 SP2 or greater.
5
Prepare a Windows Server 2008 (RTM or R2) x64 edition server for the first Exchange 2010 server.
6
Install the AD LDIFDE tools on the new Exchange 2010 server (to upgrade the schema).
7
Install any necessary prerequisites (WWW for CAS server role).
8
Run setup on the Exchange 2010 server, upgrade the schema, and prepare the forest and domains. (Setup runs all in one step or separate
at the command line.)
9
Install CAS server role servers and configure per 2010 design. Validate functionality.
10
Transfer OWA, ActiveSync, and Outlook Anywhere traffic to new CAS servers.
11
Install Hub Transport role and configure per 2010 design.
12
Transfer inbound and outbound mail traffic to the HT servers.
13
Install mailbox servers and configure Databases (DAG if needed).
14
Create public folder replicas on Exchange 2010 servers using pfmigrate.wsf script, AddReplicaToPFRecursive.ps1, or Exchange 2010
Public Folder tool.
15
Move mailboxes to Exchange Server 2010 using Move Mailbox Wizard or Power Shell.
16
Rehome the Offline Address Book (OAB) generation server to Exchange Server 2010.
17
1Rehome the public folder hierarchy on the new Exchange Server 2010 admin group.
18
Transfer all Public Folder Replicas to Exchange Server 2010 Public folder store(s).
19
Delete Public and Private Information Stores from Exchange 2003 server(s).
20
Delete Routing Group Connectors to Exchange Server 2003.
21
Delete Recipient Update Service agreements using ADS Edit.
22
Uninstall all Exchange 2003 servers.
This is my plan to migrate.But i have a doubt in installing exchange 2010 in this scenario.
Is it necessary to use
Setup.com /PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions,
Please help me what excactly i have to do

Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 Migration

Is there anything I have to do to migrate Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 aside from migrating the database(s)? I believe autodiscover picks up the new server when people open Outlook?

It will definitely HELP
you with the migration process, its not a guaranty for a successful one.
You should be familiar with both systems (Exchange 2003 & 2010) and know the migration process and be familiar with each step .
Best practice is to make the migration in lab environment that is a copy of you production environment first. that way you will get an experience with the process and know in advance if there are any issues before go to production. I
know that in real world this is not always possible.
Here is another grate guide from Pete Long:
http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000234.htm
As a side note, Exchange SP1 or SP2 no longer supported, so make sure your Exchange 2010 is installed with minimum SP3 (RU5 is better).
Please take a moment to Vote as Helpful and/or Mark as Answer where applicable. Thanks.

Exchange 2003 Exchange 2010 migration confusing?

Hi,
I have searched several articles for this migration in this forum and other forums (ie
petenetlive,
simple-talk,
Exchange Server Deployment Assistant,
Technet) but when you start reading the guides there are discrepancies between one and the others and vice versa.
I have this scenario:
1) Old server windows 2003 R2 std + exchange 2003
2) New server windows 2012 R2 + exchange 2010
I have not installed exchange 2010 yet because I had to first update Active Directory schema to W2012 (adprep /forestprep, adprep /domainprep) R2 and also update exchange schema using setup /PrepareSchema from the exchange 2010 media.
Then I read that I have to install Exchange 2010 in stages ie Client Access Role first, then Transport Hub and then Mailbox role.
Also a digital certificate i required and was wondering if I could still use a self signed certificate.
Does anyone know of a very good article or video that explains this process consistently STEP by STEP?
Thanks

Case of the Missing User Exchange 2003 - Exchange 2010 Migration issue

Hey All,
I am in the middle migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2013 by way of Exchange 2010 and going through the final parts of my Exchange 2010 portion of the migration I found that one of the users on Exchange 2003 is not showing up in the EMC to migrate.
In EPS I can find the user with Get-User username but I cannot get the mailbox or kick off the mailbox move from EPS giving me the error of "Object could not be found" It is a valid user with a valid user mailbox and I can log into the
mailbox in OWA for Exchange 2003. Any thoughts as to why the user's mailbox is not showing in EMC or that I can't get it to move via PS?
Thanks,
Joe

Error in uninstall Exchange 2003 after Exchange 2010 migration.

Setup encountered an error while checking prerequisites for component "Microsoft Exchange": 0X80072030 (8240): There is no such object on the server. I searched about the error and most of the hit is referring to postmaster account point
to the old server and that doesn't apply to our environment.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283089
below is the errors from the setup log. Other users had reported this problem but didn't find any solution other than manually uninstall the last Exchange 2003 server.  The problem is I couldn't find any official KB for manually
remove legacy Exchange server from Exchange 2010 org, bb288905 or kb833396 do not provide enough information. So is my only choice is to call Microsoft Support?
thanks

Did you also check for other accounts, i.e. non-postmaster?
Setup will check to make sure that there are no mailboxes homed onto this server.    This attribute homeMDB could still be set for a mailbox that has the Exchange attributes remove. Seen that before when people set attributes directly
via scripts.....

Yes, I did. Nothing has MDB = the legacy server.    The error from setup log seems to suggest a different problem.

Exchange 2010 Migration of 200 Users/Force Archiving

Exchange 2010 Outlook 2007
Here's my situation. We are migrating 200 mailboxes from our current domain which will be absorbed into another company/organization. The new organization is putting limits on our users mailboxes of 100 Mb or 5000 items in order to make a smooth
transition from our Exchange environment prior to them absorbing all of our mailboxes. Of the 200 users a quarter of them are way over that limit. We have sent out numerous emails informing the users (mostly offsite) to archive all of their emails
and clear out the "deleted"/"sent" items. Obviously no one has listened to our requests to get their mailboxes down to the limit the new organization has set for us. I just recently migrated all of the users mailboxes to .pst's
via a powershell script, but as you know, that only copies the data. Is there a way via powershell to move or force all of the users data (sent/deleted/inbox) to an archive thus freeing up their mailboxes for the upcoming migration? The new org
will not approve the migration of any mailboxes over the 100 Mb/5000 item limit. I'm not limiting a solution to powershell -- I will take any solution that is Microsoft-centric. I will not be able to use third party tools or solutions due to the
nature of my job.

Hi,
Since the target domain set a policy to limit the migration, I suggest kindly let the target domain disalbe or expand the limitation for a while to complete the migration, if it is possible.
Thanks

TS4136 Apple Mail ActiveSync issue during Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 migration

When customer configures the ActiveSync account on Apple Mail (using Exchange Server 2010 CAS array name) for the user whose mailbox is on Exchange Server 2007, they are not able to get any mail and account displays offline. It shows the mailbox empty as well, even though mailbox has the email items in it.

Hi Akebono,
Let's check a few things in your server:
1. From the Organization Configuration - Client Access - Exchange Activesync policies - Default: Verify if the option "Allow non-provisionable devices" is ON.
2. From Server Configuration - pointing <YourExchange2010> - Certificates: Verify if your SSL certificate is assigned to IIS. (You should also be able to see this certificate from OWA https session)
3. The problem may also reside in iPhone outdated software, try to test activesync connection from iPhone with the latest OS version.
4. Take a look at logs in C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\ of Exchange 2010, those might give some more details on connectivity problems.
5. If you still experience such problems - post the ExRCA error report here.

Exchange 2010 Migration to 2013 Coexistence url's

Hello,
What exactly is required for the virtual directory url setup for Exchange 2010 coexisting with Exchange 2013? I have been searching online a lot preparing for my Exchange 2013 deployment and can't see to find a clear answer. The information
I have come across from TechNet and other sources is all over the place with some stuff saying the external url needs to be empty while others say it should match Exchange 2013's setup. Others say the internal url should be empty while
only the external should be populated. And I have even seen others say nothing on Exchange 2010 has to be touched and that Exchange 2013 will figure proxying out on its own once I configure the new url's on it.
So what is supposed to be setup for the ExternalUrl and InternalURL to in Excahnge 2010 for coexistence with 2013? Currently my
existing Exchange 2010 is internet facing with the plan of moving that to Exchange 2013 once that goes in as per Microsoft directions on implementing coexistence.

Read the article below from Ross Smith. There can't be better article than this:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx
If exchange 2010 and 2013 are on same site, then you need to:
1. Remove External URL from Exchange 2010 CAS servers, retain the Internal URL
2. Move the SSL certificates from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013
3. Point the external URL to Exchange 2013 instead of Exchange 2010
4. Of course, you would need to re-configure Autodiscover, Web Services URLs on Exchange 2013 CAS servers.
Once this is done, for any mailbox that is hosted on Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013 would proxy the connections and deliver the content.

Exchange 2010 Migration - Decommissioning Multi Role Server and Splitting Roles to 2 new servers - Certificate Query

Hi,
I have been tasked with decommissioning our single Multi Role Server (CAS/HT/MB) and assigning the roles to 2 new servers. 1 server will be dedicated to CAS and the other new server will be dedicated to HT & MB roles.
I think I'm OK with the moving of HT and MB roles from our current server to the new HT/MB server by following "Ed Crowley's Method for Moving Exchange Servers", my focus is on the migration of the CAS role from the current to the new server as
this one has the potential to kill our mail flow if I don't move the role correctly.
The actual introduction of the new CAS server is fairly straight forward but the moving of the certificate is where I need some clarification.
Our current multi role server has a 3rd Party Certificate with the following information:
Subject: OWA.DOMAIN.COM.AU
SANs: internalservername.domain.local
autodiscover.domain.com.au
The issue here is the SAN entry "internalservername.domain.local" which will need to be removed in order for the certificate to be used on the new CAS server, firstly because the CAS server has a different name and secondly the internal FQDN will
no longer be allowed to be used from 2015 onwards. So I will need to revoke this certificate and issue a new certificate with our vendor who is Thawte.
This presents me with an opportunity to simplify our certificate and make changes to the URLs using a new certificate name, so I have proposed the following:
New Certificate:
Subject: mail.domain.com.au
SANs: autodiscover.domain.com.au
OWA.DOMAIN.COM.AU
I would then configure the URLs using PowerShell:
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity NEWCASNAME-AutodiscoverServiceInternalUrl https://mail.domain.com.au/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity " NEWCASNAME\EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.domain.com.au/ews/exchange.asmx
Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity " NEWCASNAME\oab (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.domain.com.au/oab
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -Identity " NEWCASNAME\owa (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.domain.com.au/owa
I would also then set up split DNS on our internal DNS server creating a new zone called "mail.domain.com.au" and add an host A record with the internal IP address of the new CAS server.
Now I know I haven't asked a question yet and the only real question I have is to ask if this line of thinking and my theory is correct.
Have I missed anything or is there anything I should be wary of that has the potential to blow up in my face?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate any insights and input you have on this.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your reply, it all makes perfect sense I guess I was being optimistic by shutting down the old server and then resubscribing the edge and testing with mailboxes on the new mailbox server.
I will make sure to move all of the mailboxes over before removing the old server via "Add/Remove Programs". Will I have to move the arbitration mailboxes on the old server across to the new mailbox server? Will having the arbitration mailboxes
on the old server stop me from completely removing exchange?
Also, the InternalURL & ExternalURL properties are as follows:
Autodiscover:
New CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
WebServices:
New CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/EWS/Exchange.asmx
New CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/EWS/Exchange.asmx
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/ews/exchange.asmx
Old CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/EWS/Exchange.asmx
OAB:
New CAS - InternalURL: http://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/OAB
New CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/OAB
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/oab
Old CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/OAB
OWA:
New CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/owa
New CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/owa
Old CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/
ECP:
New CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local/ecp
New CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/ecp
Old CAS - InternalURL: https://svwwmx001.pharmacare.local/ecp
Old CAS - ExternalURL: https://owa.pharmacare.com.au/ecp
Our Public Certificate has the following details:
Name: OWA.PHARMACARE.COM.AU
SAN/s: autodiscover.pharmacare.com.au, svwwmx001.pharmacare.local
From your previous communications you mentioned that this certificate would not need to change, it could be exported from the old server and imported to the new which I have done. With the InternalURL & ExternalURL information that you see here can you
please confirm that your original recommendation of keeping our public certificate and importing it into the new CAS is correct? Will we forever get the certificate warning on all of our Outlook clients when we cut over from the old to the new until we get
a new certificate with the SAN of "svwwmx001.pharmacare.local" removed?
Also, I am toying with the idea of implementing a CAS Array as I thought that implementing the CAS Array would resolve some of the issues I was having on Saturday. I have followed the steps from this website, http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-install-an-exchange-server-2010-client-access-server-array/,
and I have got all the way to the step of creating the CAS array in the Exchange Powershell but I have not completed this step for fear of breaking connectivity to all of my Outlook Clients. By following all of the preceeding steps I have created a Windows
NLB with dedicated NICs on both the old CAS and the new CAS servers (with separate IP addresses on each NIC and a new internal IP address for the dedicated CAS array) and given it the name of "casarray.pharmacare.local" as per the instructions on
the website, the questions I have on adding the CAS array are:
1. Do you recommend adding the CAS array using this configuration?
2. Will this break Outlook connectivity alltogether?
3. Will I have to generate a new Public Certificate with an external FQDN of "casarray.pharmacare.com.au" pointing back to a public IP or is it not required?
4. If this configuration is correct, and I add the CAS Array as configured, when the time comes to remove the old server is it just as simple as removing the NLB member in the array and everything works smoothly?
So, with all of the information at hand my steps for complete and successful migration would be as follows:
1. Move all mailboxes from old server to new server;
2. Move arbitration mailboxes if required;
3. Implement CAS Array and ensure that all Outlook clients connect successfully;
4. Remove old server;
5. Shut down old server;
6. Re-subscribe Edge from new Hub Transport server;
7. Test internal & external comms;
We also have internal DNS entries that would need changing:
1. We have split DNS with a FLZ of "owa.pharmacare.com.au" that has a Host A record going to the old server, this would need changing from "svwwmx001.pharmacare.local" to "svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local";
2. The _autodiscover entry that sits under _TCP currently has the IP address of the old server, this would need to be changed to the IP address of the new CAS;
3. The CNAME that sits in our FLZ for "pharmacare.local" would need to be changed from "svwwmx001.pharmacare.local" to "svwwmxcas01.pharmacare.local".
4. Or rather than using the FQDN of the server where applicable in the DNS changes would I be using the FQDN of the CAS Array instead? Please confirm.
Would you agree that the migration path and DNS change plan is correct?
Sorry for the long post, I just need to make sure that everything goes right and I don't have egg on my face. I appreciate your help and input.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Jamie

SBS 2011 STANDARD Exchange 2010 Migration to Office 365

done

Hi
If you manually setup an outlook profile and enter in all the settings does it work?
In you local DNS you still have an autodiscover record for your local exchange server? Correct?

Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 under same DC

Hi there!
our status is:
1 Domain controller (win2008serverx64).
1 Exchange server (OS: win2003server x32, Exch2003EnterpriseSP 2x32) EX1
The exchange is populated. It's configured in front-end with an apache.
our intention is:
to create another Exchange Server (OS: win2008R2server x64, Exch2010SP1) EX2 under the same domain. After deployment we intend to migrate all contents from EX1 to EX2. Then do disable and eliminate EX1 in order to keep EX2 as the only Exchange server.
So far we have the EX2 OS in place. AD is an win2008
Questions are:
1. How o create another Exchange Server (OS: win2008R2server, Exch2010SP1) EX2 under the same domain?
2. How to migrate all contents from EX1 to EX2 ?
3. What to do to eliminate EX1 in order to keep EX2 as the only Exchange server?
Thanks

Hi
You can install a new server and join it to your domain. Setup all the prereqs for exchange and then install exchange 2010.
after that you can setup your connectors etc. plan your migration, do not rush it especially if you have public folders.
look here regarding migration:

Exchange 2003 to 2010 Migration and Certificate Issue

Good Day All -
This is my first post on here, so if I post to the wrong spot or something is incorrect, please forgive and redirect me.
I have a small working knowledge of Exchange and even less about Certificates.
I did an Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 migration last weekend, and, for the most part, everything went well. Initially when users first launched Outlook for the first time, (post mailbox move), the received a Security Alert to install the Self-Signed
Certificate for the new Exchange Server. This was a one time deal and everything was good after that. Also, I exported the non-self-signed certificate, (for external mail, purchased from Network Solutions), from the Exchange 2003 Server, and imported
it into the Exchange 2010 Server. Again, no issue.
Jump ahead to today. It was brought to my attention that some mobile devices were unable to connect, and in my infinite wisdom ,<sarcasm>, I thought the issue had to do with the certificate(s). I started troubleshooting and it seems like I've
fixed the the mobile devices being able to connect, but now every time users launch Outlook, they receive the Security Alert for the non-self-signed certificate, over and over again. (or it just pops up while connected to Outlook)
They go through the motions of installing it, but it just keeps coming back.
I have referenced several articles on here, and other sites, but nothing has worked and I'm stuck and fried on this one.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726/en-us
http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-issue-a-san-certificate-to-exchange-server-2010-from-a-private-certificate-authority/
Would someone please help. Thanks very much, (in advance).

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I have read many articles, (especially from exchangeserverpro), and have learned alot, but I am definitely a cert novice here.
The cert "error" on my internal Outlook Clients is a Security Alert for
mylocalservername.mydomain.lcl. When I click to view this certificate it points to
webmail.mydomain.com, which is what the external
devices use for SSL verificartion.
I'm not understanding why my internal Outlook clients are prompting for this external certificate.
I have the self signed certificate that auto-installed with Exchange 2010, which points to the DNS Names:
mylocalservername.mydomain.lcl and mylocalservername. This was the server certificate that the Outlook clients installed after they launched Outlook post mailbox migration to the new Exchange
2010 server and everything was good internally.
For my external connection then, I exported the webmail.mydomain.com
from the old Exchange 2003 server, and imported it on the new Exchange 2010 server; (EMC\Server Configuration\Import Exchange Certificate (Actions Pane)). Ever since doing this, all Outlook clients, (2007 & 2010)
receive the Security Alert for mylocalservername.mydomain.lcl, but is for the
webmail.mydomain.com cert.
I have two certs on the Exchange 2010 server; one self signed and one not, (The non-self-signed purchased from a CA and thus the one I imported from Exchange 2k3).
The services assigned to the two certs are:
Self-Signed, (mylocalservername.mylocaldomain.lcl and
myservername):
IMAP, POP, SMTP
Non-Self-Signed, (webmail.mydomain.com, Purchased from CA)
IIS
Please let me know if there's anything glaring here that I'm missing, and if not, what you think the problem may be. Thanks very much.

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:

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.

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:
