Exchange 2013 -DiscoveryMaxMailboxes Search Fails

I have set up a throttling policy using the following command Set-ThrottlingPolicy –Name Discovery -DiscoveryMaxConcurrency 2 -DiscoveryMaxMailboxes 25000 , I have applied the policy to a
user who has search permissions in Exchange. I have confirmed its been applied. I have confirmed that DiscoveryMaxMailboxes is 25000. I run the search, and it fails complaining about searching less than 5000 mailboxes.

Hi,
I'm afraid that you can't specify the value of DiscoveryMaxMailboxes parameter is more than 5000, there is a limitation to the number of mailboxes that can be searched and it is 5,000*. Any number beyond this and the specified query will return
the following error: An unknown error occurred on the search server. Please contact your administrator for assistance. The message from the search server is 'The search exceeded the maximum number of mailboxes that can be searched at a time. Please try searching
less than 5000 mailboxes.'.

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 Setup fails

    I am getting very frustrated. It really shouldn't take over a week to install Exchange.
    I have two domain controllers, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 R2. The 2008 is now all Operations Masters for all roles.
    I have a clean install of W2K8 R2 SP1 installed under Hyper-V on a separate physical W2K8 server. Before starting the install I used ADSIEdit to ensure there was nothing left in the AD of prior Exchange install attempts. This is the first and only installation
    of Exchange.
    I am running the install as the Domain\Administrator and naturally that account is a member of all the appropriate security groups. RSAT are installed on the Exchange server and using them to access Users and Computers clearly shows this. The install fails
    with the errors below, all of which appear to be incorrect.

    *** END ERROR
    Why can't Exchange installation see the AD when everything else can?

    It appears that these error messages are pure fiction. I went back to ADSI Edit and removed some MS Exchange container and then reran setup /prepareschema again followed by setup /preparead and finally setup /mosde:install /role:clientaccess,mailbox and
    it churned away for a long time, apparently working.
    It appears than when it says you aren't a member of Schema Admins and that it can't access Active Directory, what it really means is it could find the AD just fine, but didn't like what it saw.
    My guess would be very sloppy programming in which the low level error doesn't bubble up and so when something fails it just assumed you didn't have permissions.
    It's not quite finished yet, but I am beginning to believe it will finish. So that's almost 6 days of non stop effort to install Exchange. It's hard top believe they are allowed to charge for this stuff.

  • Exchange 2013 cu3 setup fails with 'problem... validating the state of Active Directory... supplied credential... invalid'

    Windows Server 2013; Exchange Server 2013 with Cumulative Update 1
    Cannot install Cumulative Update 3 for Exchange Server 2013. It fails with
    [xxx] [0] [ERROR] Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Active Directory operation failed on . The supplied credential for 'XXX\Xxx' is invalid.  See the Exchange setup log for more information on this error.
    [xxx] [0] [ERROR] Active Directory operation failed on . The supplied credential for 'XXX\Xxx' is invalid.
    [xxx] [0] [ERROR] The supplied credential is invalid.
    (Crosses - XXX - replace original values.)
    I have found that a few others have experienced the same problem but found no solution, nor could come up with anything myself. If it is any hint, Event 40961 was logged in the Event Viewer around the same time on almost all installation attempts to be purely
    conincidental:
    The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the server
    ldap/xxx.xxx/[email protected] No authentication protocol was available.
    Both Windows Server and Exchange Server otherwise work OK, and do not recall any issues with Cumlative Update 1 installation.

    Hi vhr1,
    Based on my knowledge, the Event ID 40961 is a warning message.
    This behavior occurs when we restart the server that was promoted to a DC. The Windows Time service tries to authenticate before Directory Services has started.
    Found some resources for your reference even if the Exchange Version is mismatched:

    About the error message, "Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Active Directory operation failed on . The supplied credential for 'XXX\Xxx' is invalid."
    The error message InvalidCredentials means: the wrong password was supplied or the SASL credentials cannot be processed.

  • Exchange 2013 Domain Prep Fails: Setup /prepareschema, setup /PrepareAD, Setup /PrepareDomain

    Whenever I try to prep for a 2013 exchange install I always get:
    "earlier versions of the server roles that are installed were detected"
    whenever I try to run Setup /prepareschema OR setup /PrepareAD OR Setup /PrepareDomain
    I am working on a Server 2012 standard machine with Exchange 2010 currently installed. This server is a DC (bad I know), DNS, DHCP.
    I am trying to prep the domain so that I can install Exchange 2013 on a VM and eventually remove Exchange 2010 from the organization altogether.
    There are no other domain controlelrs in the domain. The domain started life as a SBS 2003 machine which was demoted and removed once the server 2012 box was up with exchange 2010 running.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is some info that may help:
    1. PrePare Schema
    Navigated an elevated command prompt to the folder with Exchange 2013 CU3.
    Ran setup /PrepareSchema
    This command should perform the following tasks:
    A: Connects to the schema master and imports LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files to update the schema with 
    Exchange 2013 specific attributes. The LDIF files are copied to the Temp directory and then deleted after they are imported 
    into the schema.
    B: Sets the schema version (ms-Exch-Schema-Verision-Pt) to a Exchange 2013 value.
    This command fails with: Earlier versions of server roles that were installed were detected.
    First I confirmed that administrator account for domain is a member of schema admins and enterprise admins.
    Next I ran asdiedit.
    I navigated to: "CN=ms-Exch-Schema-Version-Pt,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=BDA,DC=LAN"
    and reviewed the current "rangeUpper" attribute.
    The ms-Exch-Schema-Verision-Pt is not updated to CU3 range Upper setting.
    The current range upper 14734 which means its still at Exchange 2010 SP3 settings. 
    In short, updaing the schema fails.
    2. Prepare Active Directory
    Navigated an elevated command prompt to the folder with Exchange 2013 CU3.
    setup /PrepareAD [/OrganizationName:<organization name>]
    This command fails with: Earlier versions of server roles that were installed were detected.
    schema update version 56
    I began reviewing the long, long list of the following containers and objects under
     CN=<Organization Name>,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<root domain>
    which are required for Exchange 2013:
    missing cn=Auth Configuration
    missing CN=ExchangeAssistance
    missing CN=Monitoring Settings
    missing CN=Monitoring Settings
    missing CN=Monitoring Settings
    missing CN=Workload Management Settings
    Checked Management role groups within the Microsoft Exchange Security Groups OU
    missing Compliance Management group  --- Manually created this entry
    Step 3 Prepare Domain:
    Navigated an elevated command prompt to the folder with Exchange 2013 CU3.
    Ran setup /PrepareDomain
    This command fails with: Earlier versions of server roles that were installed were detected.
    confirmed the following:
    ObjectVersion property fails as it is still set to Echange 2010 sp3 -  13040
    You have a new global group in the Microsoft Exchange System Objects container called Exchange Install Domain Servers-DONE
    The Exchange Install Domain Servers group is a member of the Exchange Servers USG in the root domain.-DONE
    On each domain controller in a domain in which you will install Exchange 2013, the Exchange Servers USG has permissions 
    on the Domain Controller Security Policy\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Manage Auditing and Security Log policy.-DONE
    Thanks.

    Whenever I try to prep for a 2013 exchange install I always get:
    "earlier versions of the server roles that are installed were detected"
    Hi,
    That tells us that you are trying to run the prep on your combined DC and Exchange 2010 Server - That will not work. Run it on the Server where you plan to install Exchange 2013.
    It is not mandatory to run this before the actuall Exchange install - It will run automatically for you, if it hasn't been done already and if you are logged on with an account with the proper permissions.

  • Exchange 2013 ECP Login fails HTTP 404 Requested URL: /owa/auth/logon.aspx

    Hi,
    One of our Exchange servers stopped allowing access to OWA and ECP. I have now managed to get OWA working but ECP is still failing. When connecting to ECP using https://servername/ecp/ it asks me for my username and password. After hitting enter it shows
    me an error page:
    Server Error in '/owa' Application.
    The resource cannot be found.
    Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
    Requested URL: /owa/auth/logon.aspx
    URL in the address bar while on this screen: https://exchangeserver:444/owa/auth/logon.aspx?url=https://exchangeservera:444/ecp/&reason=0
    Question: When the URL points to servername:444/owa/auth/logon.aspx - Is it trying to find the logon.aspx in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\Owa\auth? There is no such file in that directory?
    I have removed and recreated the ECP and OWA virtual directories several times.
    I am trying to login using a domain administrator account.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Is there any Exchange server 2010 coexistence with your Exchange 2013 server? If it is, please try the URL
    https://CAS15-NA/ecp?ExchClientVer=15 to access ECP.
    Also run the following to check your OWA and ECP virtual directories:
    Get-EcpVirtualDirectory -ShowMailboxVirtualDirectories | FL Identity,*Authentication*
    Get-OwaVirtualDirectory -ShowMailboxVirtualDirectories | FL Identity,*Authentication*
    And make sure the Basic and Forms authentications are enabled in
    Default Web Site and Ntlm, WindowsIntegrated
    authentication methods are enabled in
    Exchange Back End. Then restart IIS service by running
    iisreset /noforce from a command prompt window.
    If the issue persists, please collect any event logs or IIS logs for further analysis.

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 - healthsets failing

    Hi,
    I have recently installed two Exchange 2013 SP1 servers in different environments and are experiencing issues on both. Issues that I haven't seen on Exchange 2013 without SP1.
    I have 6 healthsets which are unhealthy. 
    Autodiscover...
    ActiveSync.P...
    EWS.Proxy
    OAB.Proxy
    Outlook.Proxy
    OutlookMapiH...
    I found this article: 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.scom.ecp.proxy(v=exchg.150).aspx
    Which describes, that try to restart the app pool, then an iisreset - and lastly reboot the server. Tried all and none of them helped.
    But then I found this error in the Exchang event log:
    RecycleApplicationPool-MSExchangePowerShellAppPool-RpsDeepTestPSProxyRestart: Throttling rejected the operation
    Which fails almost every minute.
    And I guess that this could be the issue. But I can't figure out which throttling that is causing this.
    Any one else with this issue on Exchange 2013 SP1?
    Thanks in advance.
    /Kim

    Hi,
    I have seen a lot of similar issues with health manager service. For IIS services, we can safely ignore these warnings. Personal experience, we just need to monitor whether there are related
    error reports in event log.

  • Exchange 2013 Co-Existence Fail

    I went ahead, installed new 2 multi-role exchange 2013 servers.  Followed the exchange deploy assist.  setup external urls, updated exchange 2010 outlook-anywhere, bla bla, changed dns to proxy through my 2013 servers.  All services were fine,
    except outlook clients with mailboxes still on 2010.

    I found and read this article and it seems to describe my problem.  Pretty ticked that the deployment assist didn't say anything about it.
    None of my external outlook anywhere clients can connet anymore.  I have pretty much reversed as much as possible and 'removed' exchange 2013 out of the mix, my fqdn points back to my Exchange 2010 again, but still external OA cannot connect.

  • Exchange2010 migration to Exchange 2013 federation trust failed (Outlook Provider Failure)

    We are in a migration Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
    On the 'old' Exchange 2010 we are using a Federation Trust to 2 order company's. The federation trust for mailbox's on the exchange 2013 wont work.
    We removed the federation trust on the old exchange 2010 server and create a new federation trust on the new Exchange 2013 server. We also changes the DNS TXT records. Creating the new federation trust without errors. But when the 2 order company's trying
    to connect (add our company name for trust) they get a error.
    A have trying to run a couple tests on the new Exchange 2013 server and found this error:
    [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Test-OutlookWebServices -debug -Identity [email protected] -MailboxCredential(Get-Credential

    Hi,
    Are you add primary SMTP domain as a federated domain? If not, please run below command to achieve this function:
    Add-FederatedDomain -DomainName contoso.com
    Configure federated sharing for the Exchange 2013 organization. Complete the steps in
    Configure federated sharing.
    Configure federated delegation (previous name for federated sharing) for the Exchange 2010 SP2 organization. Complete the steps in

    Thanks for the update John!
    From what I have read, it can work running the upgrade in Windows Powershell, but the syntax must be right.
    .\Setup.exe /m:upgrade /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
    compared to:
    Setup.exe /m:upgrade /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

    Hi,
    From the description of the error “ Microsoft.Exchange.ProvisioningAgent.RusException:  Failed to generate proxy address. Additional information: General Error. ”
    Appeared to have some valid proxy address. Please check if there are invalid characters in the admin account proxy address.
    To find the proxy address, take the following steps:
    Open ADUC, Click View in the menu then click
    Advanced Features.
    Navigate to yourOrganization >> Users, choose the admin account, right-click to
    Properties.
    Under Attributes Editor tab, find the proxyaddresses
    Attribute, then check the address.
    Hope this will be helpful for you.
    Best Regards.

  • Upgrade of Integation Services (Windows 2012 R2) on Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG fails

    Here is the scenario:
    Legacy Host: Windows 2008 R2
    Guest VM: Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG cluster.
    After importing the VM (2008 R2 and Exchange 2013 DAG) into a 2012 R2 host (Cluster).  (copy VM files to new 2012 R2host) Everything works fine.
    Then upgrading "Installation Services" (for Windows 2012 R2 host) on the imported VM runs fine with no errors to the "Restart" prompt. VM than shows: "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn
    of your computer." Hangs there for about 20 minutes until is says "shutting down". Hangs there for 20 minutes until power off. Restart to normal start; "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turnoff your computer." proceeds slowly
    to "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." hangs there again indefinite. Sometime hangs at shutdown cycle and "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." indefinitely.
    I moved 20 other machines from a 2008 R2 host to new Windows 2012 R2 hosts all of these machines install the 2012 R2 Integration services just fine on the 2008 R2 VM. Just the 2008 R2 VMs clustered (DAG) and Exchange 2013 SP1 do not take the Integration
    Services upgrade.
    Any advise from Microsoft? I know I could decommission the DAG and Exchange machines and install Integration services on the native box before Exchange and DAG and that would sure work, but I'd rather avoid that amount of work for a simple integration layer
    upgrade.
    Thanks

    Manu van Winkel

    Hi, thanks for the answer.
    I restarted the server and did the "run as administrator": same result.
    The first errormessage in the exchangesetup.log is:
    [ERROR] Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Active Directory server  is not available. Error message: Active directory response: The LDAP server is unavailable.  See the Exchange setup log for more information
    on this error.
    When I run dcdiag /s:DC01 from EX01 it passes all tests except:
    DFSREvent "The RPC server is unavailable"
    KccEvent "The RPC server is unavailable."
    SystemLog  "The RPC server is unavailable."
    Could these be of any influence?
    Running dcdiag on DC01 passes all tests.
    The only thing I changed after setting up DC01, was changing the fixed IP-adres from 192.168.25.3 to 192.168.25.2, but I ran ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns and dcdiag /fix afterwards.
    The only roles installed on DC01 are AD DS (I tried installing exchange before and after adding the AD DS role), AD, DNS, DHCP and Fileservices
    I don't know where to look anymore....

    Hello,
    Please make sure you do exchange server upgrading or a clean exchange 2013 installation. If you do a upgrading, please refer to the similar thread to assign a database to the arbitration mailbox "SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}".
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/239cb4a6-4a07-4b9a-800c-974573bbff32/error-installing-step-12-mailbox-role-service-on-exchange-2013-cu2?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
    Please make sure you have these permission "Schema Admins, Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins" to install exchange 2013 server.
    If this is a clean exchange 2013 installation, please try to recreate the system mailbox to check the result.
