Exchange Server 2007 error during updating SP3

Hi
My exchange server 2007 needs to update to sp3 and the OS is W2K8 Ent. During the update process, there was a prerequisite check and its failed to continue because of the following error.
1.Error:The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service is installed on this computer. This must be removed before Setup can continue.
2.Error:The Windows Firewall service must be started before Setup can continue.
3.Error:Setup cannot continue with the upgrade because the 'beremote' () process (ID: 7860) has open files. Close the process and restart Setup.
I tried to remove the SMTP but it wont uninstall from the server, and IIS is installed on the server also.
So, is the SMTP is dependent with IIS and how can I proceed the update now ? And also please remarks on the 3rd error.
Thanks in advance.

run the servermanagercmd -q
see the output, does it list out smtp servier in green.
if you have previously uninstalled SMTP service, try restarting your server.
there was another post with the same error,

After upgrading Exchange Server 2007 to SP3 with update rollup 13, OWA not working

Hi,
We have just installed Service Pack 3 and update rollup 13 on our Exchange Server 2007, but unfortunately our OWA has gone inaccessible.
PROBLEM- The following error comes up when we try to access OWA :
Exception

4. Created public folder database.
Even after doing all these activities, owa is still inaccessible. Please help.

Ankur

Hi Ankur,
From your description, you can't access to OWA after upgrading Exchange server 2007 to SP3 rollup 13. Firstly, please locate to C:\ExchangeSetupLogs and make sure that it is a successful installation. If not, this issue often occurs.
If it is a successful upgrading, please follow the steps below for troubleshooting.
1. Open IIS Manager, click Default Web Site -> Authentication, make sure that Anonymous Authentication and Windows Authentication are enabled.
2. Click Default Web Site -> SSL Settings, check "Require SSL" and click Ignore.
3. Click Default Web Site -> HTTP Redirect, check Redirect (enter your
https://URL), check "Only redirect" box and Status code Found 302.
4. Expand Server Configuration -> Client Access ->double click owa ->Authentication tab. Check the Basic Authentication and check the Use forms-based authentication button Logon Format: Domain\user name.
Hope it helps.

Exchange Server 2007 sp1 to sp2 upgrade error

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade exchange server 2007 to exchange server 2010 but my exchange server 2007 is running sp1 which cannot be directly upgraded to exchange 2010. To do this I need to first upgrade my exchange server 2007 sp1 to sp2, i am stuck because I
keep getting the error below:
Error:
The well-known object entry with GUID 6c01d2a7-f083-4503-8132-789eeb127b84 on the otherWellKnownObjects attribute on the container object CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=mw refers to a non-USG CN=Exchange Servers,OU=Microsoft
Exchange Security Groups,DC=domain,DC=mw. Please either delete the well-known object entry or promote the target object to a universal security group.
Does anyone know how to resolve this error?? please assist

My recommendation to you is to upgrade it to Exchange 2007 SP3 with latest Rollup Updates.
Note: Before you start installing the SP3 make sure you upgrade the AD Schema for Exchange 2007 SP3.

Exchange server 2007 SP3

Dear all,
Presently we are using exchange server 2007 Sp3 along with windows 2008 x64 Domain controller it's working fine . But we have some issue related with
Message Size restriction when I changed maximum msg size sent and receive this option will applied to the mail box user taking long time how can i update this option immediately to the end users ?
Best Regards
Subash

Hi,
After you configure the mailbox size restriction for a mailbox, the configured limits are enforced after a period of time, but do not take effect immediately. Restarting the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service causes the configured limits to take
effect immediately.
Please restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service to check result.

Exchange server 2007 still on version 8.1 even after applying sp3

hello,
I have exchange 2007 version 8.1 and I want to migrate to exchange 2013, so in order to to that I need to upgrade the exchange 2007 to sp3.
I install the sp3 without any issue but the version of the exchange 2007 still 8.1, I try to re install but it show that the sp3 already installed.
any idea about this issue?
thank you

Hi
As is well known, you
must patch Exchange 2007 to the very latest Service Pack and Update Rollup before you attempt to do anything with Exchange 2013.
According to your description, I suggest you should check the rangeUpper value by using ADSI Edit . If the value was 14625. This indicates
your schema is at Exchange 2007 SP3.
Here is the article for your reference: https://supertekboy.com/2014/05/01/check-exchange-schema-objects-adsi-edit/
Also you could re-install the patches in the following links .
Please download and install these patches from here:
Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=24111

Exchange server 2007 Service Pack problems SBS 2008

Hi, in our Enterprise environment, we have a single mac with Mavericks version 10.9.2 and Office for Mac 14.4.1. When setting up outlook, we are trying to connect to a mailbox on exchange server 2007.

Hi, in our Enterprise environment, we have a single mac with Mavericks version 10.9.2 and Office for Mac 14.4.1. When setting up outlook, we are trying to connect to a mailbox on exchange server 2007. We put in the EWS details in the server field since our autodiscover function is not functioning. But still it doesn't work. There are no errors, no popups. We turned on the logging and in the logs, it says a error of -3259. We are stuck and any help will be really appreciated.

I have a customer experiencing exactly the same issue. Their computer is running Windows 7 Pro with Office 2007 SP3. After seemingly exhausting all troubleshooting options, I backed up their data, formatted the hard drive and performed a clean install of
Windows and all their applications. It didn't solve the problem!
What's strange is the customer also has a laptop computer, running the same version of Outlook, and that doesn't experience any problems connecting to Office 365 on the same network.
My next step is to send the customer a new ADSL modem/router to try.
I have another customer on Office 365, also running Outlook 2007, and they also experience issues with emails sitting in the outbox while Outlook displays the status message “Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft exchange server outlook.office365.com.”
In this case Outlook doesn't freeze/stop responding, like it does for the first customer I mentioned.

Mail / Calendar with Exchange Server 2007

Hi all,
We have a problem with Apple Mail and Calendar (Mountain Lion) connected to an Exchange Server 2007.
Apple Mail for no reason doesn't show the available data on the server. At first all goes right but after a few hours the data get corrupt. Folders disappear, mails aren't shown, ... The folders and mails are there in the server. I can check that with Outlook for Mac or on a collegues machine on Windows.
I tried:
- deleting the mail cache and mail data and restart
- removing the accounts and setting them up again
- creating a new user and trying mail in that user
None of those solved my problem.
Apple Calendar doesn't sync its data correctly. Example:
I create an event in calendar A. From that event I onvite calendar B to join the event. So far, so good. Everything just syncs fine. Then for some reason I delete the event from calendar A. In the server the event is still there. I checked in Outlook. This error is reproducable.
I tried:
- naming the user to <WORKGROUP>\<user>
- deleting the calendar cache and calendar data
None of those solved my problem.
Can anybody help me with this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
The configuration I think you have is MS Exchange on the back end fronted (to the Internet) by Outlook Web Access (OWA). As such, Blackberry Internet Service is the interface between OWA and the BB...there is no direct interaction between the BB and the Exchange server. As such, only email will reconcile wirelessly in this configuration. Calendar, contacts, and other items must be reconciled via USB/BT tether.
Now, that said, there is a free solution to do what you desire -- it's called BES Express. BES is BlackBerry Enterprise Solution and provides OTA sync of email, calendar, contacts, etc. Full BES is not free. But BES-X is. If you truly require full reconciliation of all things from Exchange, I recommend you research BES-X.
Good luck!

MimeMessage.reply() issue with MS Exchange Server 2007 Emails

I have an application that retrieves emails from an MS Exchange Server 2003 mailbox. The data from each message is read, validated and conditionally loaded to a table. If the message doesn't pass validation, a rejection email is sent back to the sender with an error message and a copy of the email. (We're using Java 1.5. However, I test with both 1.5 and 1.6.)
Also, if the message passes validation, positive notification is sent back to the sender.
Both processes use the method: javax.mail.Message.reply()It's coded as:
MimeMessage reply = (MimeMessage) message.reply(false);My organization is in the process of migrating to MS Exchange Server 2007. We've found that the reply() method no longer finds the sender method, thus unable to create a reply message. The error message we receive is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: No recipient addresses
     at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:110)
     at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:80)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.sendReply(DataCollector.java:514)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.processMessages(DataCollector.java:162)
     at org.ccci.gms.datacollector.DataCollector.main(DataCollector.java:101)After creating the MimeMessage object from the reply() method, I printed out the email header detail from both 2003 and 2007 messages. You'll note from below that the "To" or recipient address is missing from Server 2007.
MS Exchange 2003 works fine

When the original message is accessed using IMAP, the reply method uses the information in the
IMAP ENVELOPE to determine where to send the reply. It first looks for the Reply-To address
in the ENVELOPE, then the From address.
Interestingly, when not using IMAP, the getFrom method returns the Sender header if the From
header is empty. The IMAP-specific code doesn't do that, although perhaps it should.
It would be interesting to compare the ENVELOPE data from the protocol trace in the two cases.
The ENVELOPE data will follow this syntax:
envelope     = "(" env-date SP env-subject SP env-from SP
          env-sender SP env-reply-to SP env-to SP env-cc SP
          env-bcc SP env-in-reply-to SP env-message-id ")"
So it's the first three address fields after the Subject that are relevant. If the From and Reply-To
fields are NIL, but the Sender field has a valid address, let me know. I should probably fix the
IMAP provider to fall back to the Sender field if the From field is missing.

M4E with N73 - MS Exchange server 2007

Hi Guys,
maybe I am stupid, but I can't seem to get this thing to work,
I have installed mail for exchange 2.3, finally the security setting is showing, I have approved the certificate but still I am getting the very general :
"Error in Exchange server. try again later."
to explain my steps:
1. configure the connection to use the HSDPA/Cellular link.
2. hostname: owa.domain.com , username and password.
server is Exchange server 2007 and configured behind an ISA server. OWA 2007 from a browser works fine.
please any assistance would be great, I don't even know how to approach it anymore.
thanks in advance,
Badsyntax (Simon)

Hi Imran,
As per my information Webcenter Suite 10.1.3.2 does not have any direct integration capability with MS Exchange Server due to DEEP LINK LIMITATION. Only possible work around is go for External Application SSO registration and then render that URL in IFRAME.
As far as WEBCENTER INTERACTION is concerned i think its seprately licensed and eventhough it's free you need extra Hardware to Install and Configure.

Backup Issue of exchange server 2007 mailbox store

Dears
Exchange server 2007 with CCR clustering
I have got a problem with the backup of one of my mailbox store. Its going till the last and giveing the final error as follows:-
V-79-57344-65247 - A failure occurred reading an object.
Also the warning as follows:-
Backup- \\mailserver.domain\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group
WARNING: "\\mailserver.domain\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group\Database" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.
Backup V-79-57344-34108 - An unexpected error occurred when cleaning up snapshot volumes. Confirm that all snapped volumes are correctly resynchronized with the original volumes.
Does it mean my information store is really a corrupted file. It has been properly monted and logs are genearting.
Even when I checked the last full backedup log file from the management shell it clearly shows the backing up is properly happened on the log files.
When I checked the event log of Exchnage server I can see these logs:-
Event ID 401, 403 errors
The size of the problem store is 308 GB.
One of the other store with 46 GB is backing up without any issue

Exchange Server 2007 Transport Agent Issue

This is the first time i am working on Exchange Server Development. Below is a simple Transport Agent that i am using, this agent should simply update the email Subjects
as shown below in the code.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Transport;
using Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Transport.Smtp;
namespace MyAgents
public sealed class MyAgentFactory : SmtpReceiveAgentFactory
public override SmtpReceiveAgent CreateAgent(SmtpServer server)
return new MyAgent();
public class MyAgent : SmtpReceiveAgent
public MyAgent()
this.OnEndOfData += new EndOfDataEventHandler(MyEndOfDataHandler);
private void MyEndOfDataHandler(ReceiveMessageEventSource source, EndOfDataEventArgs e)
e.MailItem.Message.Subject = "This message passed through my agent: " + e.MailItem.Message.Subject;
Below is the Powershell script i am using to install the Agent.
Net Stop MSExchangeTransport
Install-TransportAgent -Name MyAgent -AssemblyPath EmailLogger.dll -TransportAgentFactory MyAgents.MyAgentFactory
Enable-TransportAgent -Identity MyAgent
Net Start MSExchangeTransport
Agent installed successfully using Exchange Management Shell.
Now when i send/receive emails in exchange, Email subjects are not modified. Emails have their original subjects. I don't know why?
I also performed the steps mentioned in below links to debug the Agent but breakpoints are not being hit by Visual Studio Debugger.

My System Configuration
I am using the Exchange Server 2007 Virtual Machine provided by Microsoft from link below
microsoft.com/en-pk/download/details.aspx?id=14901
I also installed the Visual Studio 2008 on the VM for debugging.
Please help me in resolving the issue?

How are you testing this ? a SmtpReceiveAgent will only fire when the server receives email over SMTP. So if your just logging on and sending an Internal Email (eg mailbox to mailbox) or sending Email externally then the
SmtpReceiveAgent wont fire. For a single server if you want to capture all email you need to use a router agent see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/postwoman/archive/2010/09/14/step-by-step-how-to-create-a-routing-agent.aspx
. If you want to test what you have try sending an email to mailbox over SMTP using an SMTP client or Telnet
