Exchange 2013: This mailbox database is associated with one or more active mailboximport / Cannot uninstall exchange

We have a corrupted installation of Exchange 2013 due to installating CU6
New Exchange server is already installed and mailboxes are migrated over, I am now in the process to uninstall the old exchange 2013 so we can decomission it but I get this error when I try to run uninstall
"This mailbox database is associated with one or more active mailbox import,To get a list of all Mailboximport request associated with this database, run Get MailboxImportRequest | ?{ $_.RequestQueue -eq "<Database ID>"}....
But when i run this command I get an error of" The Get-MailboxImportRequest is not recognized as a cmdlet...
Any advise is appreciated
Thanks.

Hi ,
From the error message i came to know few things i have mentioned mentioned below .
If you want to remove the problematic exchange server , you need to remove the existing mailbox import requests.
For that you should need to have the required permission for the user account from which you are trying to execute the command
Just check your user account is having the Mailbox Import Export role permissions .
If you have the required permissions then go ahead and execute the commands
Get-MailboxImportRequest | ft -au ( this is to see how many no of the mailbox import request are available
Remove-MailboxImportRequest
( this command is to remove the entire mailbox import move request)
Once you have done with that , then you start proceeding uninstalling the exchange server .

This mailbox database is associated with one or more active PublicFolderMove requests

I'm trying to clean up an Exchange 2013 installation (CU2) which is the result of a migrated Exchange 2007 done last summer.
This installation contained several databases which we are trying to slim down to just one, but I've run into some trouble deleting one of these databases. I've made sure that there's nothing left in the database but the Monitoring mailboxes, but when I
try to delete the database I get the following error:
This mailbox database is associated with one or more active PublicFolderMove requests. To get a list of all PublicFolderMove requests associated with this database, run Get-PublicFolderMoveRequest | ?{ $_.RequestQueue -eq "Public Folder Database" }. To remove a PublicFolderMove request, run Remove-PublicFolderMoveRequest <Recipient ID\Request Name>.
If I look into that one further I can see the following:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-PublicFolderMoveRequest | fl

So, I've found out that I can run "Remove-PublicFolderMoveRequest <Recipient ID\Request Name>" to remove that request, but I find it a little disturbing that we've had that job for 9 months in the background, and I'm unsure of what will happen
if I actually delete that job.
The Target Mailbox is also empty. Shouldn't it contain something?
We want to keep the Public Folder Database in the current database and it should not have anything to do with the database I'm trying to delete (it does not reside there right now).
Any thoughts on how to proceed, and what the reason for this might be? Could it be something that was done while migrating from E2k7 to E2k13 and never was cleaned up correctly?
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, thanks! But, the problem is that I can't delete it because of the error message in the first post ;) Namely:
This mailbox database is associated with one or more active PublicFolderMove requests. To get a list of all PublicFolderMove requests associated with this database, run Get-PublicFolderMoveRequest | ?{ $_.RequestQueue -eq "Public Folder Database" }. To remove a PublicFolderMove request, run Remove-PublicFolderMoveRequest <Recipient ID\Request Name>.

Exchange 2013 CU2 - Mailbox Databases and Active Sync - update when new item arrive

Hi,
Maybe it will be a silly question but I don't know what exactly is going on. We are running Ex2013CU2 Evironment (1 CAS, 2 MBX Servers with 4 Mailbox Databases).
User mailboxes are in MDB01 and they are allowed to connect to mail via activesync and everything is working great (I mean that auto notification on mobile when item arrive is working).
When we move user mailbox to another database ex. MDB02 -> "auto notification when item arrive" does not working, but manual synchronization is working great.
Does anyone have any idea why it is behaving like this or what should I check to fix this ?
Thanks.

are you saying PUSHMAIL is not working after moving the mailbox to a different database?
Where Technology Meets Talent

How do you assign a user or group FULL access to all Exchange 2013 DAG mailbox databases?

How do you assign a group or user FULL mailbox access rights to ALL mailboxes in the Organization or DAG mailbox databases?
Commands I've tried with no avail:
get-mailboxdatabase -server “exch01″ | add-adpermission -user “domain admins” -AccessRights GenericAll
get-mailboxdatabase -identity "DAG database" | add-adpermission -user "user" -accessrights FullAccess
Please let me know if you can help! Thanks.

Get-Mailbox | Add-MailboxPermission -Identity UserMailbox -User "Domain\Group" -AccessRights FullAccess - worked for me! Thanks again!

Exchange 2013 - Shared Mailbox Permissions

Here is what I am trying to do. I would like to create a shared mailbox in exchange 2013 for time off requests for my employees. I will have the mailbox to be something like
[email protected] If an employee is sick or requesting time off, they can email this shared mailbox or send a meeting request.
I would then like the ability for ALL employees to be able to have read access to the mailbox and Calendar associated with it, and I would like to have managers have Full access to it and to be able to approve calendar requests so that they are entered into
the calendar.
Is this possible? How can I set read only to the inbox and calendar for a shared mailbox? I would also like to be able to have the shared mailboxes automatically added to all user's Outlook.
Thanks!

Simply grant Full Access to the managers. Then for everyone else you can grant read only access to just the Calendar.
Here is an example on how to do this -

Let me know if that works.

Creation of a second Exchange 2013 server on a different site (with the roles of MBX and CAS) fails on prepare active directory and prepare schema.

Hello everyone
I have a network infrastructure consisting of 3 sites, site A, site B, and site C. i have 2 domain controllers on every site, and the AD roles are on the primary domain controller on site A. On site A I have an Exchange 2013sp1 CU6.
I want to create a second Exchange on Site B, with the roles of mailbox (the exchange on Site A will be first DAG member and the Exchange on Site B will be the second member of the DAG) and CAS.
First question: Is my thought correct about installaing on the same server mailbox and CAS server?
Second question: how many DAG witnesses I need for the DAG? One per site, or one in general (for example located on site A)
Third question: When I am trying to perform “Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms” I receive the error
“ Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory:
The Active Directory schema version (15303) is higher than Setup's version (15292). Therefore, PrepareSchema can't be executed. See the Exchange setup log for more information on this error. For more information, visit:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.AdInitErrorRule.aspx “
I tried to run the PrepareSchema from the ISO of Exchange 2013 SP1 and form the extracted content of Exchange 2013SP1 CU6 archive, but still receive the same error. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer,
I have tried to run "Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms” from

Exchange 2013 Health Mailbox filling up security logs

I'm doing security audits and having the Exchange 2013 Health Mailbox fill up my security logs. I've read that if I delete the mailboxes and re-create them and restart the service the errors will go away. My question is how do I delete them?
I found the full mailbox name with this command.
get-mailbox -monitoring | select-object -expandproperty name
Do I use this method?
Remove-Mailbox -Identity contoso\johnor this one?Remove-Mailbox -Identity contoso\john -Permanent $trueOr something else?
Thanks!

This computer is already associated with an Apple ID

I'm trying to download music I've purchased (in the past) via iTunes into my iMac. The past purchases were made [principally] via my iPad and, as a consequence, the actual music media is resident on my iPad. Since these music purchases, I've purchased an iMac. And, since the purchase of the iMac, I've received an iPod Nano as a gift (Christmas). The iMac is shared between my family members, each with their own Apple-ID and associated account. When I try to download the music I've purchased (in the past) via the "cloud icon" in iTunes, the iTunes store indicates "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID" and I need to wait "90 days" until I can download the rest of my music. So, I cannot download ANY music into the iMac under my personal user account and Apple-ID.
However, the aforementioned problem has disabled downloading music to my recently acquired iPod Nano (a Christmas gift), because the iPad Nano *can only obtain music via iTunes, via an iMac" (the IPod Nano lacks WiFi, so sync'ing can only be achieved via a USB-v2.0 port). So, my options are:
Buy another iMac desktop computer to download music to my iPod,
Wait until my birthday after March 2014 to actually use the iPod Nano I received on Christmas 2013.
Coordinate my iTunes purchases and potential gifts to occur on three (3) month boundaries and ensure that my iMac computer is NOT assoicated to any other Apple ID during this three (3) month period.
If option (3) get violated, implement Option (1) for any Apple device purchase.
Just as an aside, I'm a systems engineer and a software programmer of ~30 years. Honestly, the aforementioned options are the only options I have at this time to load purchased music into my iPod Nano (without hacking into my iMac to modify its MAC address). To me the whole iTunes thing seems a bit impetuous (being naive, unsophisticated, excessive, ridicilous). But maybe I don't understand the DCMA rights, media purchases, and Apple's marketing and sales strategies. But, REALLY?! c'mon Apple! Why not use the customer's Apple-ID *and* MAC address to verify authentication per device? Just using the MAC address would be OK if I were the only user of the *family's* iMac desktop computer. But, then, maybe that's an Apple sales strategy, only one user per iMac desktop computer? f this is the case, I will be visiting my local Apple Store to *DEMAND* a refund for all purchased Apple products (phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, and my iPod Nano Christmas gift) and I'm going back to Android, Linux, and Amazon-MP3s.

Same issue here.
It's not an error. It's a purposeful, arbitrary restriction put in place by content owners to prevent law-abiding citizens from organizing, sharing and using media that they purchased. Never mind that a nefarious pirate can circumvent these restrictions with 17 keystrokes.
It's the equivalent of the TSA: They're very good at finding Grandma Gertrude's nail clippers, but not so good at catching a shoe bomber.
God forbid that my wife has access to a file I downloaded with my iTunes account on a computer associated with my Apple ID. So let's prevent the converse by preventing her from signing in to the same computer using her Apple ID.
Pretty obscene--and pretty much useless--restriction.

Exchange 2013 shell mailbox move requests showing up on 2010 hub server

We're in the process of migrating from exchange 2010 to 2013. All servers are patched and up to date. We have two 2010 CASs (one for external OWA use only) and a mailbox cluster. Our exchange 2013 setup is almost a mirror with the exceptions of how the exchange
server roles have changed.
Any new-moverequest commands entered from the either of our exchange 2013 CAS servers fail to show up in the EAC/recipients/migration page.
If the local move request is done in the EAC the batch(es) show up just fine.
The more perplexing part is: while I was going through a 2010 hub (looking for a different issue) I noticed ALL the batches/mailbox moves that weren't showing up in the 2013 EAC were listed in the 2010 move request section.
I can't get any info on the moves in the 2010 console (because they're 2013 jobs) but i can get statistics and such from a 2013 shell.
any ideas?

Are you running ex2013SP1 CU6? Can you try to update n check?

This computer is already associated with an Apple ID (when trying to download family purchases)

On my iMac I have five user accounts: 1 master family, father (me), wife, daughter and son. For iTunes, the family is used for family sharing and as is the organizer for family purchases.
My son's iCloud account is maintain through the Family account as he is under 13. I recently set up his user on the family computer and today started to build up his iTunes library so he can sync his iPod. iTunes was not logged into his iCloud account and had no music (it had not been used before). I entered his iCloud account and annoyingly it would not recognize the password I had recorded for him so I had to go through iForgot, Once in I went to family purchases to download a song that I had just purchased on the family account. It stated that this computer was not authorized to I authorized it using my son's iCloud account. When I went to download it stated:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 72 days.
What? It's a new set up....
I deauthorized the computer and reauthorized it using the family account, as the computer is registered to the family account. Why I tried to download again I did not get the error about but this time it said the computer was not authorized (even though I just did it). I appear to be stuck in a cycle of Apple ID association or authorization denial. I'm a little PO'd.
In the end I did it the old fashioned way and simply dragged in the music using family sharing (as this is switched on).
Beyond having to wait 72 days for the Apple ID to resolve itself is there any other options? Can I delete the entire user account of the computer and try again? I'd be willing to do that if I thought it would work...

Not from your end. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

I had 2 Apple IDs but now Apple implemented new conditions and i can't use one of them after 90 days using the prior one..! - "This Device Is Already Associated With an Apple ID"

I have two Apple IDs because i travel frequently between Mexico and the US, and the apple stores offer different products, so i like to download music, movies and TV series from both sites.
Apparently apple changed the conditions, becauise until a few days ago i could log our from one account and log in from my other one. Yesterday i was at Miami International Airport and wanted to download a few chapters from one of my TV series (Walking Dead) to watch on my way to Mexico City, but a pop up window came up saying "this device is already associated with an apple id". Curoiously, the ID to which i was connected to was precisely the one under which i had bought weeks ago the chapters i was wanting to download from the cloud. So it says i have to wait 90 days to change apple id.... weard! probably i accepted these terms when dowloading a new IOS version, so legally I'm dead in complaining, but why is it that if i am paying for all that i buy as a model citizen i am now blocked from jumping from one apple id to another one???? I can certainly buy another ipad and have one with one id and another one with the other, but is there any other way i can keep the two in just one device?? If i don't use i-could would anything change? This is really making me mad, and is the first time i have thought of moving our of mac products into samsung or others and buy my music and movies somewhere else where stupid restrictions like this one do not exist. Please help with a solution!

OK, but in my ipad, the apple id i have in itues is already the one iwant to have, but th one i used to sin in for i-coud is the other one. Any tip as to how to change the apple id for icloud and any idea how to know what apps i bought with the other apple id so as to delete them from my ipad to avoid being asked to enter another apple id every time they get updated? thanks!

My itunes comes up with this when i try to download purchased songs: this devise is already associated with an apple id. this devise can be used with another apple id in 82 days. i need help to see if i can fix this problem please.

i have an iphone 4s i signed out of my itunes on the devise and my friend signed herself into ituned but i signed her out an myself back in but my purchased songs and tones cannot download. it gives me a message of:this device is already associated with an apple id. this device can be used with another apple id in 82 days! is there anyway for me to fix this or override something. im freaking out!!

Sorry: once a device has been authorised for a particular iTunes account you can't change it to another until 90 days have passed. This is to prevent people cirumventing the restrictions of purchases to one account from consteantly swopping between accounts. You will have to wait for the 82 remaining days, and there is no workaround.

My TV shows won't download. It keeps saying error 3050 and this computer is already associated with an Apple ID. I really don't want to spend eight dollars on two episodes again. What do I do to fix this dilemma?

A couple oe f days ago, I started downloading the BBC's version of Sherlock. I have the entire first season completely downloaded. The second season (and unaired pilot) is a different story. It was downloading, but my internet kept crashing so I couldn't finish the downloading process. I shut down iTunes for the night and thought to myself "I finish it in the morning." This morning, I attempted to finish the downloading process, but it would only let me download two of the four episodes. The other two just say "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID after 90 days." I used one account to download the TV shows and nothing else.
I'm really confused and really frustrated with this. Any suggestions/answers are welcomed and greatly appreciated!

This is a somewhat recent change, but frankly there is no reason to constantly be logging out of one Apple ID and logging in with a different Apple ID.
If multiple people with different Apple ID's are regularly using the same computer, either authorize the computer for each of the Apple IDs or created unique logins on the computer for each user and have each sign in with their appropriate Apple ID.

HT204053 I have two Apple IDs current. On my iPhone one appears in settings iCloud and this is the id associated with my iMac.

I have two Apple IDs current. One my iPhone one appears in Settings/iCloud and this is the ID associated with my iMac.

Attempts to reset the password by email have been unsuccessful as no email has been received and I have lost the answers to security questions. How can I reinstate this ID? Help please
