Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Witness/Quorom Server Placement with 3 Datacenters

Hi we have 2 Exchange 2010 SP3 Server in the same Organization in a DAG
First one in Datacenter 1 in Germany
Second one in Datacenter 2 in Austria
There is a Third Datacenter available in Switzerland
Where should we place the Witness Server?
Our major concern is not a WAN Link will go down, most time a Datacenter will loose Power for some hours due
maintenance work or other things.
Is it a good idea to place the Witness Server in the third Datacenter!?
We found a Document which some missconception which talks about placing the witness always in
the primary Datacenter. But the Datacenter Switchover Document for Exchange 2013 says use a third Datacenter.
Is that also okay for Exchange 2010 or are they totally different?
Thank you in advance
Troga

Hi,
It is a new configuration option in Exchange 2013 that we use a third location for hosting the witness server.
Placing FSW in the third location will privide the ability automatically failover databases to the other datacenter in response to a datacenter-level failure event.
For more details, you can look at the "Witness server placement considerations" section in the following article.

[SOLVED] Can't add a node to the cluster with error (Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Windows Server 2012)

Hi there!
I have a problem which makes me very angry already :)
I have two servers Exchange 2010 SP3 with MB role started on Windows Server 2012. I decided to create a DAG.
I have created the prestaged AD object for the cluster called msc-co-exc-01c, assigned necessary permissions and disabled it. Allowed through the Windows Firewall traffic between nodes and prepared the File Share Witness server.
Then I have tried to add nodes. The first node has been added successfully, but the second node doesn't want to be added :). Now I can add only one node to the DAG. I tried to add different servers first, but only the first one was added.
LOGS on the second nodes:
Application Log
"Failed to initialize cluster with error 0x80004005." (MSExchangeIS)

UPD:
when Exchange servers ran on the same Hyper-V node, the DAG is working well, but if I move one of VM to another node, It stops working.
I have installed Wireshark and captured trafic of cluster interface. When DAG members on the same HV-node, there is inbound and outbound traffic on the cluster interface, but if I move one of DAG member to another node, in Wireshark I see only outbound traffic
on both nodes.
It's confused me, because there is normal connectivity between these DAG members through the main interface.
Please, help me if you can.

Hi, Jared! Thank you for the reply.
Of course I did it already :) I have new info:

Exchange 2010 SP3 DAG Flip Flop File Share Witness Issue

Hi All,
We are facing one strange issue with Exchange 2010 SP3.
Our environment is as below
a single DAG spanned accross 2 AD sites with 6 MBX server.
Each site have 3 MBx server.
File Share Witness is on Hub server in primary site.
Note: The DAG IP is from Primary DC VLAN and which cant be streched accross DC due to network restrictions/limitations.
It was working fine till date.
But, yesterday onwards we are facing issue.
All DB dismounted and DAG name disappear from EMC and while doing refresh its giving error as below
Exception type: Microsoft.Exchange.Data.DataValidationException
Exception message: Could not convert property WitnessServer to type UncFileSharePath. Error while converting string 'vesthub700.mydomain.com\DAG1.mydomain.com' to result type Microsoft.Exchange.Data.UncFileSharePath: "vesthub700.mydomain.com\DAG1.mydomain.com"
is not an acceptable path. You must use an absolute, local, long file path, that doesn't contain '~', or a UNC path. Parameter name: path
We are not able to execute any cmdlets related to databaseavailabilitygroup from EMS and its giving same error.
Failover Cluster DAG resource is Flip/Flip continuously.
Its only become stable after reboot of the hub server holding FSW and the 1st mailbox server.(Cluster Owner)
We are even not able to move cluster group to different server.
Performed ExBPA no such issues found which related to DAG.
Performed clsuter validation.
Only generic cluster events in Mailbox servers.
Observation:
Its only become stabe if we remove the msExchFileShareWitness Value for DAG1 using ADSIEdit.
And the problem recurs if we set it back again.
Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
soumen

Hi Belinda,
Thanks! I have checked the Mailbox Server Application Log and found few 2155 Event Id generated at the time of the issue occured.
Process Microsoft.Exchange.ServiceHost.exe () (PID=9312). Configuration object CN=DAG1,CN=Database Availability Groups,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=xxxxxx,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,DC=com
read from DCTDK35.mydomain.com failed validation. DataValidationException will be thrown. Set event logging level for Validation category to Expert to get additional events about each failure.
One update is that the DAG is stable now after we set an alternate FSW last night.
Regarding the 2nd IP assignment for DAG for the 2nd subnet, we have gone through technet and other sites which refering to add the same from EMC or EMS.
Is it sufficinet to simply adding the 2nd IP to DAG from EMC or EMS? Or do we need to take any other special consideration.
Also, adding another IP it will create one more IP address resource to Failover Cluster, but I belive at a time both the IP wont be online. Do we need to keep it offline manually or its automatically taken care by Exchange.
Please suggest.
Also, regarding executing the CollectOverMetrics.ps1 we are following
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2010/monitoring-operations/monitor-dag-database-failover.html
but failed to execute. Can you suggest the correct parameter.

Is WMF3 or WMF4 supported in Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5 installed on Server 2008 R2 SP1?

We'd like to upgrade WMF (aka powershell) on our Exchange 2010 servers but I haven't been able to find any updated information on support with the most recent servicepack/update rollup.
Is installing WMF3 or WMF4 supported on Server 2008 R2 SP1 w/ Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5?

WindowsPowerShell 3.0 is supported. Haven't seen 4.0 running for exchange 2010 on 2008 R2

Gulab,
Where did you read that WMF3 is supported on Exchange 2010 SP3 on Server 2008 R2?
Neither of the links you pasted suggest that and in fact explicitly say "There has been no testing with ExchangeServer 2010 SP3 and WMF 3.0 installed on Windows Server 2008 R2."
My Bad, that was TYPO...

Exchange 2010 SP3 upgrade on Windows Server Standard SP2

I'm midway through the swing upgrade process of migrating from Exchange 2003 - Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. Everything has gone smoothly between the Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010 migration which I started two days ago. it has been running
great. I am beginning the final stages of moving from the Exchange 2010 server to a new Exchange 2013 server, but it requires my Exchange 2010 server to be upgraded to SP3. I am now trying to install Exchange Server 2013 SP3 Upgrade and I'm
getting (3) Client Access Role Prerequisites errors. Finding any of these HotFixes and patches is frustrating, because any link provided does not work. It has gotten me nowhere. Here is my Readiness Checks:

I have tried the FIX: WCF services that are hosted by NLB computers to route messages to Exchange Server fail when WebHeader settings are added by using a .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 application
Windows6.0-KB2637518-x64.msu
when I run it, it tells me "The Update does not apply to your system. So im thinking I need to remove the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and the .NET Framework 4 Extended. reboot, then install
Windows6.0-KB2637518-x64.msu and then reinstall .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and the .NET Framework 4 Extended
this has taken a day or so to figure out the order of dependencies and the order to put them on.
Frustrating, since I won't be using Exchange 2010, were moving all the way to Exchange 2013 on a brand new server.

Exchange 2010 SP3 - Can DAG member be on OS 2012 R2 STD?

Hi guys.
We have Exchange 2010 SP3 on 2008 r2 enterprise.
now we are thinking about having DAG. I know that recommendations is to have the same OS on 2nd Exchange server but still is it possible to make DAG between: Exchange 2010 SP3 on 2008 r2 enterprise and on other side Exchange 2010 SP3 on 2012 R2 STD?
with best regards,

No. It wont let you do that.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638104(v=exchg.141).aspx
DAGs are available in both Exchange 2010 Standard Edition and Exchange 2010 Enterprise Edition. In addition, a DAG can contain a mix of servers running Exchange 2010 Standard Edition and Exchange 2010 Enterprise Edition.
Each member of the DAG must also be running the same operating system. Exchange 2010 is supported on both the Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. All members of a DAG must run either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008
R2. They can't contain a combination of both Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
In addition to meeting the prerequisites for installing Exchange 2010, there are operating system requirements that must be met. DAGs use Windows Failover Clustering technology, and as a result, they require the Enterprise version of Windows.

Exchange 2010 SP3 RU7 system requirements for server 2008

Exchange 2010 SP3 system requirements list server 2008 SP2 as being a compatible OS. KB2961522 only lists Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Windows Server 2012.
Does it really support windows 7 but not server 2008 SP2??
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, Windows Server 2008 SP2 is supported on Exchange Server 2010 SP3. Windows 7 SP1 is only supported for Exchange management tools, not for Exchange server.
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

Exchange 2010 SP3 - "500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command" in SMTP Receive Log. Senders get message with the same problem

Hi
My exchange environment consist with "Server Exchange 2010 SP3" and "Edge Server with Exchange 2010 SP3".
On Edge server in SMTP receive log i get every now and then an entry: xxxxxx 500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command.
It is serius problem because I got few e-mails from senders that they had problem with sending e-mail messages to our e-mail domain. They receive e-mail report, for example
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain domena.plby
mail.domena.pl.
[95.xxx.xxx.xx].
The error that the other server returned was:
500 5.3.3 Unrecognized command
Could you help me to solve this problem? What could cause this problem?
Thank you in advance

I have the same issue, but there is plenty of hard disk storage on the Exchange Server. This seems to only be happening from Google Business account/ Postini. If I send message from my personal Gmail account it works fine, but an agency who is on Google
business seems to have issues sending to us and they are delayed, sometimes they get through and other times they just don't.
Results from Mail Acceptance Test:
I enter my internal address and the remote users postini account as the test setup I received two emails from the tool but the end results of the test are:
Error submitting mail
Mail submission failed: Error message: Syntax error, command unrecognized. The server response was: 5.3.3 Unrecognized command.

As you can see, on line 9, at 03:26:35, we declared to the receiving server what we were about to send. At the line number 10, almost two minutes passed without an authorization (250 OK) from the receiving server. You can see our status being pushed back
at that moment to the receiving mail server: SMTP:Delivery still in progress after 90 seconds. Two more minutes later the connection was simply dropped and so we generated a 400 error message to encourage the sending server to try again later (since no bounce
was given per say from the receiving server, we won't hard-bounce it but defer it).
I hope this will help. you can try to look in the mydomain.com inbound logs and see at that exact time what happened? Unfortunately, our visibility pretty much ends there as we don't have full visibility of your mail environment. You'll need to investigate
within your own environment unfortunately. If you have any more information to share with me, in case it might help me help you, feel free to do so. I'll leave this case opened for now.

Exchange 2010 SP3 RU5 installation hangs on "Copying new files"

Dear forum,
I meet an issue installing the rollup 5 of Exchange 2010 SP3 on a HUB server with WS 2008 R2.
After launching the install from an elevated command prompt, and after the setup stops and disables some services, it starts "Copying new files" and then hangs. Nothing in the events logs, no popup message.
I let it alone for more than an hour but nothing happens.
Launching it with /log returns this line at the end:
"InstallFiles: File: Copying new files, Directory: , Size: "
Do you have already meet this issue or do you have any idea about the cause?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Amy,

Upgrade Windows 2008 R2 sp1 on an Exchange 2010 SP3 server

I have looked high and low for an answer to this question:
1. I have Windows 2008 R2 running Exchange 2010 SP3
2. Can I upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to SP1 with Exchange 2010 SP3 onboard?
3. Are there pre-requisites for doing this?
4. If so, where can I get the documentation?
I have spent hours looking through Google and Technet. Lots of information about compatibility of 2008 R2 and Exchange SP1 and SP2.
Your wisdom and experience would be appreciated. Thank you!!
Charlie

Hi,
"Can I upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to SP1 with Exchange 2010 SP3 onboard?"
Yes, you can.
"Are there pre-requisites for doing this?"
There is no pre-requisites, however, as what Idan Vexler mentioned above, downtime is required.
"If so, where can I get the documentation?"
Here are two related threads for your reference.

First Exchange 2013 server in an Exchange 2010 SP3 organization

I've read the documentation that states to install Exchange 2013 with CU2 as the first Exchange 2013 server in an organization running Exchange 2010 SP3. Maybe I over-read this to mean "Exchange 2013 with at least CU2" (meaning to start with Exchange2013-x64-cu3.exe),
but when I installed the CU3 version I ended up with Standard rather than Enterprise. I need to run 2013 with Enterprise. I've looked around for an Enterprise version of Exchange2013-x64-cu3.exe but cannot find one.
How do I install Exchange 2013 Enterprise into my Exchange 2010 SP3 organization? Thank you.

Please review

These (Exchange 2013 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition)
licensing editions are defined by a product key. When you enter a valid license product key, the supported edition for the server is established. Product keys can be used for the same edition key swaps and upgrades only; they can't be used
for downgrades. You can use a valid product key to move from the evaluation version (Trial Edition) of Exchange 2013 to either Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition.
You can also use a valid product key to move from Standard Edition to Enterprise Edition.

Exchange 2010 SP3 install question

Greetings! I am planning on installing the SP3 update for Exchange 2010 in preparation for a Hybrid deployment with O365. After installing the SP3 update to all Exchange servers in our environment, I was going to then install the RU8 on the servers.
Hopefully I can perform all of this during one maintenance window. I have already performed the schema update for SP3 during our most recent maintenance window.
I have been scouring the forums for any potential upgrade issues. I wanted to know if there was any concern about the RU8 update for SP3 that might affect our environment from past experience of other admins; whether it be Outlook clients (we use mostly
Outlook 2010 with some Outlook 2013) or OWA. We are currently on SP2, RU6.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As what Amit mentioned above, you can upgrade from Exchange 2010 SP2 RU6 to SP3 RU8, as long as this version is supported for Hybrid deployment with O365.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb629560(v=exchg.141).aspx
To DAGs, please consider the following conditions:
Upgrade passive servers first. Place server in maintenance mode if any monitoring applications are in use. Stop any scheduled tasks or other processes running on the DAG member or within that DAG that could adversely affected the DAG member being upgraded
or the upgrade process.

Exchange 2010 SP3 startdagservermaintenance.ps1 issues

My Environment is as follows:
Production
Server 1 - CAS, Hub Transport (DAG witness server)
Server 2 - Mailbox (3 databases - DAG with Server 3) - Currently at SP1
DR Site
Server 3 - Mailbox, Hub Transport
I have Exchange 2010 SP3 applied to server 1 and 3. I have not been able to successfully run
StartDagServerMaintenance.ps1 on Server 2. If I am ok with downtime, is there any risk in upgrading my server without running this script? If so, would I need to power off Server 1 and 3 first? I believe my issue with the script may
be due to a journal mailbox.

I assume you are talking about Updating Mailbox Server or you are just testing the script?
No you don't have to shutdown the server.
About the script, its suggestion to run it, but even if you are not running its ok.
By the way, how you are running the script? Are you running from the location where the script is residing.

MS Exchange 2010 Sp3 Ent Migration to Exchange 2013

Hello,
We currently have 2 Exchange 2010 SP3 servers in 1 DAG. Both servers host CAS, Mailbox and Hub Role.
I want to introduce a 3rd Exchange 2013 Server and slowly move users onto a new DAG I build in Exchange 2013.
Can I create a 3rd Exchange 2013 Server with CAS and Mailbox Server Role and make the 3rd Exchange server (2013) a member of the existing (2010) CAS array then slowly perform local move requests for users mailboxes
from my Exchange 2010 DAG to the Exchange 2013 DAG without any disruption to my outlook, OWA and AS clients?
Exchange 2010 (Windows 2008 R2)
Exchange 2013 (Windows 2012 R2 DataCenter)

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, all Outlook connectivity (Internal and External) takes place over Outlook Anywhere(RPC/HTTP). Thus, CAS array which is used internal for RPC/TCP protocol (MAPI) no longer exists in Exchange 2013.
For your coexistence environment and the plan to migrate all mailboxes to Exchange 2013 in the future,
we need to set all virtual directories for CAS 2013 and enable Outlook Anywhere for Exchange 2010. If the mailbox is moved to Exchange 2013, the Outlook client would connect to the server which is set in Outlook Anywhere External host name
and Internal host name instead of CAS array. If all configurations are proper, CAS 2013 would also proxy the service requests for Exchange 2010 users.
Here are some reference about Client Connectivity in an Exchange 2013 Coexistence Environment:
