Exchange 2007 setup, transitioning from Exchange 2003

Hello Exchange Experts,
I just setup a Exchange 2007 within our domain, transistioning from Exchange 2003, question: When I added the mailbox role on the setup of Exchange 2007, the mailboxes appeared instantly from our Exchange 2003..the connector I'm assuming automatically connected
during the 07 setup. Is this normal? I was under the assumption to migrate mailboxes from 03 to 07 Exchange, the wizard must be ran. All active mailboxes from 03 appear. I attempted to migrate one mailbox using the wizard, error after the wizard completed,
mailbox exists. Makes sense, just not understanding how the mailboxes flowed/migrated automatically without running the migration steps. Would someone explain? You could say, this migration is very new to me.
Thanks in advance!
James

Ronny, our company had an existing license for 2007. Of courser 2010 or 2013 would have been a better transition, but 2007 is it. The server 2007 has met all the criteria for the transition, spent last moth prepping everything on 2003 and 2007. I'm just
not understanding why the mailboxes appeared upon 2007 immediately after adding the mailbox role. The management console on 07 shows the mailboxes reside on 03 exchange server. I did not go through the process/wizard to move to 07. Perhaps because
during the installation of Exchange 07 created the connector from 2003? Maybe that's my question.
Mail flow is very responsive now, just wondering for the reasons of decommissioning exchange 2003 at a later date. Exchange 2003 is functioning now as a bridgehead, working perfectly now.
Thanks for your input.

Thanks Ronnie for your input! Issue resolved

can someone guide me with exact steps or best practice for restoring mailbox. confused by reading over multiple posts.

Hi ,
You cannot export data to a .pst file from a mailbox that is in a recovery storage group (RSG).
Mailboxes that are in a database that has been mounted in an RSG cannot be connected to Active Directory directory service accounts. These mailboxes have to be merged into existing mailboxes, or copied to a folder in an existing mailbox.

IPad unread email count doesn't tally with Microsoft Exchange 2007 email count from OWA.

I discovered that when we first setup the iPad to sync email from Microsoft Exchange 2007 server via ActiveSync, the total number of unread email count tally with the count from OWA. After a few days, the unread email count will be out of sync. The settings for iPad "Mail days to syn": No limit. Mail to show: 1000. iPad iOS: 5.1.1
We performed the following:
1.     Compare email by email to verify which are the read email from OWA doesn't sync to iPad. We discovered that some emails read from OWA doesn't sync with iPad even performed forced update. However, if we delete that read email from OWA, it will delete (unread) from iPad immediately after sync.
2.     Email recall message for successful recalled displayed in OWA but not on iPad.
3.     Calendar invite message forward as email displayed in OWA but not in iPad.
Is there a bug for Microsoft Exchange 2007 or there is limitation for iPad?
Any kind expert can advice?
Thanks.

Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Decommission Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server from Cluster

Hi! I realize this is an Exchange 2013 forum, however as I do not see any forums for older flavors of Exchange I'm going to post this here. If a better forum exists please let me know and I'll happily move to that forum for my answers.
I am just finishing a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. In the Exchange 2007 environment I have 2 CCR Mailbox Clusters. While working to decommission the first of the two clusters I successfully evicted the passive node, however
I mistakenly evicted the active node rather than removing it by running the Exchange Setup Wizard as outlined in the TechNet article "How to Remove the Active Mailbox Role from a CCR Environment".
Now, when attempting to uninstall Exchange 2007 using the Setup Wizard in Add/Remove Program I get the following error during the prerequisite check for the 'Mailbox Role':
Error:
Exchange server FQDN was not found. Please make sure you have typed it correctly."
Setup then completes.
Is there a way to cleanly uninstall Exchange 2007 and clean-up Active Directory?
Thanks!

Hi Jesse,
Thank you for your question.
We could run “ADsiedit.msc” in run, then navigate
Configuration [<domainController>.contoso.com]> CN=Configuration,DC=contoso,DC=com> CN=Services> CN=Microsoft Exchange> CN=<OrganizationName> CN=Administrative Group> CN=Exchange Administrative Group>CN=Server
We could check if mailbox server is existed in this container, we could remove it.
Notice: Before we remove it, we could make a backup for AD database. We suggest you call MS engineer for help.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Outlook can't connect with Exchange 2013 after migration from Exchange 2007

<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }</style>
Hello,
recently we've done a Exchange 2007 sp3 to 2013 sp1. Users can conect perfectly with OWA and with his iphone clients.
But the problem is they can't connect from his Outlook clients (2010, 2013), both internaly and externaly. Always fails with the message: The Connection to Exchange it is not avaliable.... Can't resolve the name of Exchange server.
To try to resolve it we've done:
- Check Outlook anywhere configuration en EAC: it is configure with and external url mail.company.com and internal server.domain.local. The security is the default Negociation, but we've tried all.
- Check the internal dns, there are records for mail.company.com and exchangeserverdomain.local pointing to the exchange local ip. Also there is a public zone company.com with the record mail.caompany.com pointing to the exchange local ip. Also we've made
records autodiscover.company.com and autodiscover.domain.local pointing to the exchange local ip.
- In the public dns from our domain there is the record A and MX pointing our public ip. There aren't any record Autodiscover but we think that the manial conection should work.
Check certificates: we've made a new self-signed certificate including all this internal and external domains and for all services.
- Check Outlook Anywhere block: we've cheked.
Currently server state:
- Old Exchange 07 server can't start, it was in very bad state and we achieved migrate the mailbox to the new server, after that we tried to uninstall, but it crashes with a public folder replication error. We got uninstall all the roles
unless the mailbox. After a restart it can't start.
-The new Exchange 2013 looks great, there isn't any trail of the old server, or we haven't seen anything in the EAC or shell.
I paste below the result of Microsoft Remote conectivity analaizer, with Outlook anywhere test. It is clear that there is a problem with that.
Sorry because the test is in spanish and I translated it with google, from here I only can access the tool in spanish.
We continue to try to resolve the problem.
Thanks to all in advance!

How to export an exchange 2007 owa certificate from production to lab environment

I'm setting up an Exchange 2007 Lab but I have a trouble regarding exchange's certificate
Note: My lab environment is not conected to internet
I've followed the next link but it doesn't work
https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/pfx-import-export-exchange-2007.htm
Once I finished all the steps if I run the next powershell command get-excahangecertificate I see that my exchange certificate has the status as unknown
I'm not sure if the problem is related with the server is not conected to internet, so exchange is not be able to check the status of the certificate.
I've tried to turn off the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option on the server
To do this, follow these steps.
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab, and then locate the Security section.
Click to clear the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation check box, and then click OK.
After the update rollup installation is complete, turn on the Check for publisher’s certificate revocation option.
But it still not working
Could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

Hi Pardo,
According to your description, I understand that the exchange certificate cannot work and display unknown status after import it.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Depending on the results of “Get-ExchangeCertificate | FL”, please pay attention to following points:
1. RootCAType: Registry
“An internal, private PKI root CA that has been manually installed in the certificate store.”
2. Status: Unknown
“This status generally indicates that the status of the certificate cannot be verified because the certificate revocation list (CRL) is unavailable or this server cannot connect to it.”
The reason why it failed is that internal Exchange server cannot connect to CRL. As you mentioned, exchange can’t be able to check the status of the certificate.
More information about Certificate Use in Exchange Server 2007, please refer to
Certificate Fields and Configuring Access to the Certificate Revocation List
section in below link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb851505(v=exchg.80).aspx
However, we can renew a certicate from local CA:

Adding a new FFL 2012 trusted domain to a Exchange 2007 domain with a FFL 2003 domain

My organization has decided to create a new forrest and domain. We will be creating a two way trust between the current 2003 forrest & domain and the new 2012 forrest & domain. For now, only a few of our users will
log into the new domain, but we still want them to be able to access their email in the 2003 domain and have their emails come from the 2003 domain. There are no Exchange servers in the new domain, users will just authenticate to the
new domain.
Besides creating the accepted domain policy and new email policy, is there anything else that will be required?
Thanks in advance
MikeV
Thanks, MikeV MCSE 2012

In Exchange 2003 there is no "accepted domain policy" or "email policy", just recipient policy. And you only need to do that if you're adding a new e-mail domain. Further, in many cases you can probably just modify the existing policy.
A one-way trust with the server domain trusting the account domain is all that should be necessary. You will have to grant full mailbox rights and send as rights on each mailbox to the corresponding user account.
Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
We added the trust, but Exchange doesn't see the new domain. I've tried both the EMC and powershell (add-mailboxpermission useralias -user"newdomain\alias" accessrights-fullaccess) error says "user or group not found please make sure you
have typed it correctly"
What else needs to be done for Exchange to see the new domain and users?
Thanks, MikeV MCSE 2012

I've seen an official list but, rules that were Edge transport rules are the first ones that come to mind. After the import you can look in the EAC and it should show you any rules that have errors or you can stare and compare the rules to your 2007 environment
to determine if any weren't imported.

How many system mailboxes should be in exchange 2013 after moving from exchange 2010?

Hi, I am moving mailboxes from exchange 2010 to exchange 2013, I noticed that in exchange 2013, besides discovery search mailbox, there are other 5 system mailboxes.(especially, there are 2 x Microsoft Exchange system mailboxes) Please see the pic attached.
Does this look right? thanks

Looks perfectly fine - Why MS decided to name two of the five arbitration mailboxes the same (Microsoft Exchange) is unclear but it is what it is :)

Need to send mail from Microsoft Exchange 2007 account(different from Gmail) on behalf of another Gmail ID. How to configure that ?

I have a Gmail ID (e.g [email protected])
I have a Exchange ID (e.g [email protected])
I need to configure exchange account (2007) such that I can send a mail from my Exchange account but at the receiver end it looks like it was sent from ([email protected]).
Both the accounts are my accounts.
I need this because I do not have access to my Gmail account from place where I access the internet and I need to send the mails from my Gmail account only.

So you want to spoof your e-mail address.
You can make your Exchange server send as any address you want. Just create a different mailbox with that address as the primary (reply) address. It has to be a different account.
However, be aware that many systems to which you send such mail to will bounce it as suspected spam because they'll detect that your server is sending mail from Gmail but your server is not Gmail.

Transition from Windows 2003 Terminal Sever to Mac Server

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
We currently have a Windows 2003 terminal server hosted remotely, it's only function is to serve Quickbooks enterprise and to store documents, with a maximum of 8 simutaneous connections.
We would like to eliminate this service and do everything in-house with a Mac server. All of our 8 employees are now on Mac.
Here is my question: What would the ideal setup be? The problem is that Quickbooks is a Windows version. The Mac version is not as robust as we need so we need to stay with the Windows version.
Do we install Quickbooks on a virtual install of Windows on the Mac server using terminal service? Or should we install Quickbooks on each users Mac with virtual Windows and every file save, saved to the server without a windows install?
Thanks again for any advise!
John

We currently have a Windows 2003 terminal server hosted remotely, it's only function is to serve Quickbooks enterprise and to store documents, with a maximum of 8 simutaneous connections.
The quick answer is to move the server to you location. Now I am sure that statement alone will generate all kinds of responses. So I will attempt to explain my position:
1. Running QBE on a virtual server on a Windows system is not eagerly supported by Intuit much less running it on a virtual system on a Mac.
We would like to eliminate this service and do everything in-house with a Mac server. All of our 8 employees are now on Mac.
Here is my question: What would the ideal setup be? The problem is that Quickbooks is a Windows version. The Mac version is not as robust as we need so we need to stay with the Windows version.
2. The Ideal setup would be to have QBE running on a Windows Server (that you own and control) and continue to access it via RDP.
Do we install Quickbooks on a virtual install of Windows on the Mac server using terminal service? Or should we install Quickbooks on each users Mac with virtual Windows and every file save, saved to the server without a windows install?
3. Unfortunately QBE is not designed to work in that manner – both QBE and QB require a ‘QuickBooks’ data server this in turn requires a Windows box of some type. Also are you using the SQL Version of QBE as this will also impact which way you should go.
4. Though you could install Windows on all your Macs the cost to do so would be more that purchasing a Windows Server and managing it yourself.
- $80 ea for Parallels $640
- $299 ea for Windows XP $2392
I did not include Windows Server /w TS CALs as you will need to purchase this regardless which method you select – though purchasing Windows with a server is considerably cheaper than buying retail.
Finally I can understand your desire to work in a homogonous environment, though I am concerned that the amount of time required getting QBE running within a virtual environment be it Windows or Mac and installing Windows on your Macs may consume more time than you may be able to take away from your business.

Majority of mailboxes fail to migrate to Exchange Online, Cutover Migration from Exchange 2010

Hi, hoping someone with Office 365 migration skills might be able to help with this one:
I have about 90 mailboxes in a Cutover migration batch process which only 4 mailbox succeed.
The rest fail with error:
MapiExceptionLogonFailed: Unable to make connection to the server. ‎(hr=0x80040111, ec=1010)‎
I've done a bunch of searches on this error and it looks to be a permissions issue. But comparing the successful mailboxes to the rest, I can't see where the issue lies.
The endpoint uses the domain\Administrator account which has Full Access to all the mailboxes and I have run the powershell command to grant Receive As to the mailbox database.
Any ideas?
The full error is:
Error: MigrationPermanentException:
Error: MapiExceptionLogonFailed: Unable to make connection to the server. ‎(hr=0x80040111, ec=1010)‎ Diagnostic context: Lid: 49064 dwParam: 0x3 Lid: 49191 EMSMDBMT.EcDoConnectEx called [length=153] Lid: 65063 EMSMDBMT.EcDoConnectEx exception [rpc_status=0x6B5][latency=1562]

Update:
I managed to fix this by creating a new admin account in Active Directory, assigning it the Receive As permission to the datastore
"Add-ADPermission -Identity "Mailbox Database 0383061665" -User "iif.admin" -ExtendedRights Receive-As"
Then restarted the Mailbox Assistant service (which could have also fixed it I guess, not sure).
Edited the endpoint in O365 to use the new account then reran batch process.
All accounts now appear to be syncing properly.
Hope this helps someone.

Recreation of user mailbox from exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

In my domain I was using Exchange 2007 earlier. I have installed Exchange 2013 successfully and running perfectly. I have one Issue:
1. A user's mailbox in Exchange 2007 was disabled from Exchange 2007 and recreated on Exchange 2013.
When a user try to send mail from outlook be it old one(2007) or new exchange(2013), gets NDR
If user send via owa it get delivered.
2. External mails are coming and user can send also like gmail or yahoo.
This is not an issue of cached address (outlook) I have checked this possibility.
Any luck

Hi,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue is related to Outlook side. In your case, I recommend you update the Address Book manually on Outlook and check the result. If the issue persists, you need to re-create the profile.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

"Name on the Security Certificate is Invalid or Does not Match..." using Outlok 2007 w/ Exchange 2007

Good afternoon!
We just completed our Exchange 2007 implementation (migration from Exchange 2003... a fun romp of 24 straight hours for the final push) and noticed an error that only occurs on Outlook 2007 clients connecting to the Exchange 2007 server: "Name on the Security Certificate is Invalid or Does Not Match the Name on the Certificate".
Now, I've done my reading into this and have determined that due to how Outlook 2007 clients managed their OAB, it is essentially through a web virtual directory now, no longer through Public Folders and this is essentially the base of our issue. See, our mail server has an internal FQDN of mail.ourdomain-domain.com whereas it has an external FQDN (which is what the SSL Cert is tied to) of owa.ourdomain.com.
So, essentially what I'm seeing is our internal Outlook 2007 clients (limited to I.S. employees only right now, thankfully) are seeing this SSL error because Outlook 2007 is trying to pick up the OAB using the internal FQDN instead of the external FQDN (which would work as well, due to some internal DNS trickery we have configured).
My question is (finally), is there a way to circumvent this internally so we never see this SSL error prompt or a way to force Outlook 2007 to use the external FQDN? I have made sure all the settings in Exchange Management Console for OAB and the like have both the internal and external FQDN set to owa.ourdomain.com (the valid SSL name), but it does not appear to have made a difference. Granted, I have not rebooted... but I do not think that is necessary in this instance.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi All,
1) I am using Windows SBS Server 2008 with Exchange 2007 installed on it. With all the Certicate configured internally. We haven’t purchased the Certificate from any outside authority yet.
2) Also, user were getting Error message "The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site" in outlook, to resolve this issue I followed the steps mention on "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726" & “http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrclients/thread/697f79e2-ca8f-4a2e-bae5-55d3fa7f703f/?prof=required” however I was able run only first command as I was unable to find "EWS (Default Web Site)", "oab (Default Web Site)", "unifiedmessaging (Default Web Site)".
3) After reaserching, I run following commands to get the status, location of WebServicesVirtualDirectory, OABVirtualDirectory & UMVirtualDirectory
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl
Name                          : EWS (SBS Web Applications)
Server                        : PASVR01
InternalUrl               : https://sites/EWS/Exchange.asmx
ExternalUrl              :
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-OABVirtualDirectory | fl
Name                          : OAB (SBS Web Applications)
Server                        : PASVR01
InternalUrl               : https://sites/OAB
ExternalUrl              :
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-UMVirtualDirectory | fl
Name                          : UnifiedMessaging (SBS Web Applications)
Server                        : PASVR01
InternalUrl               : https://sites/UnifiedMessaging/Service.asmx
ExternalUrl              :
4) Then after getting the correct locations of all the directory I run the following commands to change the internal url on existing Certs
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity PASVR01 -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri https://pasvr01/owa/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "PASVR01\EWS (SBS Web Applications)" -InternalUrl https://pasvr01/owa/ews/exchange.asmx
Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "PASVR01\OAB (SBS Web Applications)" -InternalUrl https://pasvr01/owa/oab
Set-UMVirtualDirectory -Identity "PASVR01\UnifiedMessaging (SBS Web Applications)" -InternalUrl https://pasvr01/owa/unifiedmessaging/service.asmx
5) However, this does'nt resolved our issue so run the following commands to change the external url on existing Certs
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "PASVR01\EWS (SBS Web Applications)" -ExternalUrl https://exchange.domain.com/owa/ews/exchange.asmx
Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "PASVR01\OAB (SBS Web Applications)" -ExternalUrl https://exchange.domain.com/owa/oab
Set-UMVirtualDirectory -Identity "PASVR01\UnifiedMessaging (SBS Web Applications)" -ExternalUrl https://exchange.domain.com/owa/unifiedmessaging/service.asmx
6) I also tried running "New-ExchangeCertificate -PrivateKeyExportable $True -Services “IMAP, POP, IIS, SMTP” -SubjectName “cn=PASVR01" as I have deleted one of the certicate on this server in past.
7) Following was the status of internal and external URL.
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl
Name                          : EWS (SBS Web Applications)
Server                        : PASVR01
InternalUrl               : https://pasvr01/owa/ews/exchange.asmx
ExternalUrl              : https://exchange. exchange.domain.com /owa/ews/exchange.asmx
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-OABVirtualDirectory | fl
Name                          : OAB (SBS Web Applications)
Server                        : PASVR01
InternalUrl               : https://pasvr01/owa/oab
ExternalUrl              : https://exchange. exchange.domain.com/owa/oab
[PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-UMVirtualDirectory | fl
Name                          : UnifiedMessaging (SBS Web Applications)
Server                        : PASVR01
InternalUrl                   : https://pasvr01/owa/unifiedmessaging/service.asmx
ExternalUrl                   : https://exchange. exchange.domain.com/owa/unifiedmessaging/service.asmx
10) Still we are facing this issue of "The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site" in outlook.
PLEASE HELP ME TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.
Thanks in Advance,
Asif
