Exchange 2013 - Import-TransportRuleCollection from Exchange 2007 failing

I am in the middle of a Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2013 Sp1/CU4 migration and am importing transport rules and it's failing.
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Import-TransportRuleCollection -FileData C:\2007TransportRules.xml -Verbose
Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'FileData'. Cannot convert value "C:\2007TransportRules.xml" to type "System.Byte[]". Error: "Cannot convert value "C:\2007TransportRules.xml" to type "System.Byte".
Error: "Input string was not in a correct format.""

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Import-TransportRuleCollection
    + PSComputerName        : ex2013-mb1.MYDOMAIN.local
Before you ask, I am still on SP1/CU4 because CU5 and CU6 are so buggy I refuse to install them. And that's probably not the fix anyway... WHEN IS CU7 coming out?

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.

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 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 :)

Migrating Users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 Without redirection through exchange 2013.

We have all our users and mailboxes on Exchange 2007 and I have introduced two Exchange 2013 servers in my organization and both have mailbox and CAS server installed on them.
With Exchange 2007 server, I had not modified any of the internal and external url/uri and had stayed with the defaults.
For migration most of the documents are suggesting of changing the default internal URL and Auto Discover Service internal URI values.
In my case, I want to migrate all the users and mailbox (everything that is on Exchange 2007) form 2007 to 2013 and decommission exchange 2007 completely from our organization.
I am in the phase of transferring users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 and do not want to change any settings on the existing 2007 servers.
I have created new dns entry mailx.abc.com with two IPs of both exchange 2013 and changed the Outlook Anywhere internal URL on both Exchange 2013 server to mailx.abc.com.
So by doing these, I think all existing clients will still connect to exchange 2007 and after moving their mailbox they will be connect to exchange 2013.
In short I am not redirecting or using 2013 as proxy for 2007 clients and clients whose mailbox is on exchange 2013 will directly connect to 2013 server.
Questions are, Is this the right way to migrate all the users to Exchange 2013?
Will it affect the operation of existing Exchange 2007 server?

Read the below blog on Client Connectivity in Exchange co-existence. There can't be better blog than this on this topic.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/12/client-connectivity-in-an-exchange-2013-coexistence-environment.aspx
Clients connect to Exchange from Internal-Outlook, External-Outlook, Web & Active Sync.
For Internal the configuration that you have mentioned should work as clients would get Autodiscover information from Active Directory (SCP) and get connected to right server.
However, for external connectivity it makes sense to use External URL on Exchange 2013 servers (keep the Exchange exposed to Internet), configure legacy URL for exchange 2007 and use Exchange 2013 external URL for mailboxes that are Exchange 2007 and Exchange
2013 for standardization.

Importing mail from Exchange to MS CRM

Hello all,
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 receives all mail since it was activated, the emails were in Outlook before CRM be active not appear.
I do not have the backup of independent Outlook but Microsof Exchange Server.
How do I import mail from Exchange to CRM?
Please would like response!
Many thanks
Best regards

1. CRM is not a backup for Exchange. So while I get while there can be business value of old email in CRM, don't treat it like a backup system.
2. If you use the Dynamics CRM Outlook Plugin, as a user you can just go back to your old email archive and click "Track in CRM". This will also give you the granularity of what's relevant and what's not for storing in CRM.

Autodiscover after deploying Exchange 2013 CAS in a Exchange 2007 organization

I am deploying Exchange 2013 CAS in a Exchange 2007 organization. Will all the clients be directed to the Exchange 2013 CAS servers for autodiscover. Will there be any issue with outlook clients connecting to their mailbox servers in Exchange 2007

All clients should be pointed to the Exchange 2013 CAS for the autodiscover service. This means:
A. For local clients
You need to modify the autodiscover Internal URI on the Exchange 2007 server and point it to Exchange 2013. For example, if you are using split-brain DNS on the Local Network and mail.yourdomain.com is resolved to Exchange 2013 local IP, the Exchange 2007
Autodiscover Internal URI should be "https://mail.yourdomain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml"
Exactly the same way, you should modify the Exchange 2013 Autodiscover Internal URI and use the same address "https://mail.yourdomain.com/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml"
B. For remote clients - all clients will hit the Exchange 2013 CAS first (ex. mail.yourdomain.com)
If the user's mailbox is on Exchange 2007 server, the correct XML will be generated and provided, and the user will be proxied for Outlook Anywhere/ActiveSync and redirected for OWA/WebServices
If the user's mailbox is on Exchange 2013 server, the correct XML will be generated and provided
Bottom line - based on the location of the user's mailbox, Exchange 2013 will generate and provide the correct XML file (there is not proxying involved in providing the Autodiscover info).

Exchange 2013 finds an old Exchange 2003 server

We have a new MS Server 2012. We are trying to install Exchange 2013
We migrated from an MS SBS Server 2003. We migrate AD over. The SBS 2003 is no longer on the network.
When I try to install Exchange 2013. I receive an error.
Error:
One or more servers in the existing organization are running Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003. Installation can't proceed until all Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 are removed.
Any and all help is appreciated.

The correct supported method I believe is to ensure that you uninstall the old Exchange server from SBS as part of the migration, before you demote the SBS server and remove it from the domain, otherwise you end up with old records remaining in Active Directory.
If you still have the old SBS server available and it hasn't been demoted then have a look at the steps listed here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg563804.aspx
If that's not possible the other option is to remove the old records via ADSIEdit as detailed here

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

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 2013 Transport Rules and Exchange 2007 Decommissioning

Hello,
I recently migrated from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, I do have a few traces of Exchange 2007 in the Active Directory that I would like to completely remove. The Exchange 2007 server failed earlier and wasn't decommissioned properly. I read a few articles
on how to completely remove it from AD, I am still concerned to make the changes in "ADSI Edit".
Here is the error message I receive when creating transport rules in Exchange 2013:
"You are about to create a rule in an organization where Hub Transport servers running Exchange Server 2007
exist. To ensure the rule is applied consistently across all Hub Transport servers in the organization, you must create an equivalent rule from the Exchange Management Console on an Exchange 2007 server."
I also noticed that the version of the rules remain Version: 14.0.0.0 for any new rules that I am creating in Exchange 2013.
I would really appreciate if someone can provide their views and the best practices to remove the traces of Exchange 2007 in AD.

Hi Sathish,
How about the result after using ADSI Edit ?

Outlook Anywhere settings in a Exchange 2013 coexistence scenario with Exchange 2007

I have exchange 2013 and 2007 set up in a coexist environment. At the moment, the few mailboxes I am testing on Exchange 2013 are getting multiple pop ups in outlook and cannot connect to items like Public Folders on 2007. I found an article
that told me to change the authentication method from Negotiate to NTLM and that broke some of my Lync 2013 compatibility issues on users on exchange 2007 (ie conversation history and they got outlook integration errors.) I would like someone to confirm
if the change I am about to make from doing research will help me in my situation.
Current Setup:
Exchange 2007 OA CAS Settings
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod: NTLM
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm}
Exchange 2013 OA CAS Settings
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Negotiate
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod: Negotiate
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, Negotiate}
New Settings I am considering based on research:
Exchange 2007 OA CAS Settings
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod: Basic
IISAuthenticationMethods : {NTLM}
Exchange 2013 OA CAS Settings
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod: Basic
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic}
Will this work and eliminate my popups?

Hi,
The following TechNet article indicates that:
“In order to support access for Outlook Anywhere clients whose mailboxes are on legacy versions of Exchange, you will need to make some changes to your environment which are documented in the steps within the
Exchange Deployment Assistant. Specifically,
you will need to enable Outlook Anywhere on your legacy Client Access servers and enable NTLM in addition to basic authentication for the IIS Authentication Method.”

Exchange 2013 mailbox migration from third party cloud to on premises

Hi,
we are currently utilizing a third party exchange 2013 cloud service to host user's mailboxes ( intermedia), now we implemented an exchange 2013 on-premises environment in Hyper V infrastructure and want to plan migration of mailboxes and related configuration.
cloud and on-premises environment have same SMTP domain ( Eg: XYZ.ORG) and currently an additional Temporary SMTP domain ( XYZ.CO ) used to test the external mailflow of on-premises since xyz.org is registered with cloud.
we need to migrate all mailboxes to on premises and enable XYZ.ORG for on-premises.
Pls suggest the prerequisites,steps, best practices for migration
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sumesh,
1. Please make sure your mails are flowing correctly using XYZ.CO domain. Hope you have XYZ.ORG also created in Exchange.
2. Hope you already created the users in your Exchange2013 server and distribution groups for current users
3. You plan a weekend for changing your MX records.
4. Change MX and A records to a lower TTL days before the migration to decrease DNS update time on migration day
5. Export Hosted Exchange data for each user to PST files using the PST capture tool and move your PSTs to a centralized location.
6. Change MX and A records to point to on-premises Exchange 2013
7. Import Hosted Exchange data from PST files into the new Exchange profiles
Please check these as well

Setup first Exchange 2013 with mixed mode exchange 2007/2010

my company has exchange 2007 hub and edge and exchange 2010. I'm planning to retire all exchange 2007 first follow migrate to exchange 2013. so I have few questions as below ?
1. Do I need to unsubscribe hub 2007 from edge first before uninstall ? Currently we have 2 hubs (2007 and 2010). How can I remove hub 2007 from exchange edge server 2007 ?
2. let say once my landscape just have exchange 2010, is it installing our first exchange 2013 will impact our mail flow ? my understand there is NO impact until we switch over 'mail IP' to CAS 2013. am I correct ?
3. what is minimum requirement for co-exist with exchange 2013 for exchange 2010 ? is it enough with SP3 or I need to apply SP3 RU5 ? in deployment assistant, the requirement is SP3 RU5 but most article i read just mention SP3.
thx.

1. I would remove the edge subscription for sure. Then it isn't strictly necessary to uninstall Exchange Edge if you're just going to flatten the box anyway because that server isn't in Active Directory except through the Edge Subscription process.
I'm not sure what you're asking about "NO impact".
2. The coexistence requirements are clearly documented in TechNet. I'll leave it to you to search it since you can do that just as well as I can. That said, I would recommend that you go ahead and install the latest rollup on all your servers
first.

Migrate clients from Exchange 2013 to a different Exchange 2013

Hi,
We are planning to migrate an Exchange 2013 instance to a centralized one. The question is how to deal with the Outlook OST mail files left over from the old instance and were wondering what best practices in this regard there may be.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

Hi,
Do you mean you want to migrate mailbox from one Exchange server to another Exchange server? If it is, we can directly move the whole mailbox to another mailbox server instead of Exporting/Importing a mailbox to PST file.
If you want to migrate a large number of user mailboxes, we can
specify a CSV file when you use the Exchange admin center (EAC) or the New-MigrationBatch cmdlet in the Exchange Management Shell to create a migration batch.
Here are some detailed information about mailbox moves in Exchange 2013:

Exchange 2013 EAC coexistence with Exchange 2007

Dear All,
I have an exchange organization comprized of single Exchange 2007 SP3 UR 15 running on Win2008 SP2 and two recently installed Exchange 2013 SP1 CU7 with CAS and Mailbox role running on Win 2012 R2.
Imidiantly after Exchange 2013 install, I am not able to login to Exchange 2013 EAC. When I enter my credentials domain\username, the EAC page simpli dose a quick refresh and I am back where I started.
I have tryid mutiple UTLs to access EAC page, such as:
https://localhost/ecp?ExchClientVer=15
https://localhost/ecp?ExchClientVer=14
https://localhost/ecp
Each of them show the same result, a page gets refreshet. I have tryid to move my Exchange Organization user mailbox to Exchange 2013 to see if that helps but the result.
I also noticed that OWA dosent work for mailboxes that are on Exchange 2013, they are redirected to Exchange 2007 even thou they are on Exchange 2013.
Any idea on this one?
Thank you
b.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify if you have configured Exchange 2013 namespace and virtual directories (such as OWA, ECP, OAB, Web Services, AutoDiscover)correctly. Please make sure these virtual directories are configured correctly and check
the result.
For more information about Exchange 2007 migration to Exchange 2013, here is a helpful blog for your reference.

Exchange 2013 Servers booting from SAN

Hi,
One of my client has decided to go with NetApp Flexpods for implementing Exchange 2013 in their environment.
It has also been decided that these servers will boot from SAN and
Exchange 2013 will also be installed on SAN.
We are planning to Install Win 2012 R2 for OS and E2k13 CU8. Few questions:
1) Is it supported to boot Windows Server 2012 R2 from SAN, Specially if that server is going to used for E2k13
2) Is it supported to Install Exchange 2013 CU8 on SAN
I researched about this and understood that this is supported from Windows OS perspective. I am more concerned about the whole configuration falling within support boundary of Exchange 2013. I found an article which talks about the complexity involved in
troubleshooting and indicates that its mainly SAN vendor who would be troubleshooting if running into any issues.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/305547- This article is not yet applicable to 2012 R2. Its applicable only till 2008 R2.

The booting from SAN for Exchange servers concerns me a lot as i have never seen any implementation in Exchange 2003, 2007 & 2010 doing this in my 10 years of experience. I have supported about 10 different enterprise exchange deployments and never saw
this. So this is an unknown territory for me, hence looking for some best practices, articles and guidance around this if its supported by Microsoft Exchange team to run Windows and Exchange from SAN.
Thanks
Siva
