  • Cannot download the Exchange Server 2013 SP1 ISO file from Microsoft Website.

    Hello Guys,
    I cannot download the Exchange 2013 or Exch 2013 SP1 ISO file from the Microsoft Website.
    Before downloading i have register on the Site.
    Purpose of downloading the ISO is to upgrade the Active Directory Schema before installing exch server.
    We get .exe file instead of ISO.
    I am searching it for 2 days now no help.
    Suggestion and recommendations highly appreciated.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the reply...
    If we extract .exe file we get .data , .rsrc , .text , .Certificate files by which we cannot upgrade the schema.
    As CU7 is available could you please share the link.
    So now schema can be update at the time of post installation.
    Thanks...!!

  • Help with Moving Emails from Exchange Server 2013

    Hi Team,
    Help, I need a solution on how to copy incoming and outgoing emails together with their attachments and was hoping someone could help with a solution I need to find for this problem.
    1) I have a need to copy all incoming and outgoing emails & attachments from Exchange Server 2013 mailboxes on a daily basis, so they can be archived into an external 3rd party database overnight.
    I believe that the first step is that I can set up another Exchange mailbox, through Journaling to receive these emails. 
    Is there any way that these emails can then be moved direct from the Journaling mailbox that I have created, to a shared folder on the network? If so what format would they be sent out as e.g. .msg, .ems and what is the process?
    Failing that, could they be sent to an Outlook client (not another Exchange mailbox) on the network and stored in a .pst file? (I have a program that will export them from .pst)
    I would really appreciate any assistance that you can provide in this matter.
    Regards, Greg.

    Hi,
    You can set auto-forward on journaling mailbox and auto-forward emails to another mailbox. Why don’t directly archive the emails from the journaling mailbox “an external
    3rd party database”.
    Thanks,

  • Exchange Server 2013 Missing file on ISO install Error Code 1603

    Hi all,   a mystery needs solving any suggestions much appreciated:
    We are trying to install Exchange Server 2013 on Windows 2012 server.
    The ISO File being used is: SW_DVD9_Exchange_Svr_2013w_SP1_MultiLang_Std_Ent_MLF_X19-35118
    All preparation and requisites in place.
    During Stage 2 Copying files, we receive an error code 1603 and installation halts.
    The error states:
    Installing product F:\exchangeserver.msi failed. Fatal error during installation. Error code is 1603. Last error reported by the MSI package is 'Source file not found: F:\Setup\ServerRoles\ClientAccess\Owa\prem\version\resources\themes\base\0\microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css.
     Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.'.
    We have verified that the Path in the error is correct and exists BUT the file is not present within the 0 folder.
    We have downloaded the ISO from our Action Pack resources twice and attempted 4 separate installations.
    We have tried both Mailbox/Client Access  and Mailbox only installations.
    The missing file: microsoft.o365.controls.timeline.mouse.css. Hopefully the only file misisng???
    Any ideas anyone, could we source a different ISO or copy of the file or ?????
    Many thanks in advance

    Had the same issue with Exchange 2013 SP 1 Downloaded as an ISO from the Volume License Center, installing on a new Server 2012R2 STD box. I found the equivalent file in another ISO but discovered it was just an empty CSS file. So the easiest way is to not
    bother trying to find the file but: 1) open notepad, 2) set save to "All Files", and 3) save an empty CSS file with that filename then place it in the directory indicated in the path given in the error. (Make sure it saves as
    a CSS and not as a TXT.)
    I reran the install and it completed without issue.

  • Can user Reset the Password without Administrator help in MS Exchange server 2013

    Hi Team 
    IT is possible  for user to reset the password
    in MS Exchange server 2013 without Administrator help? (by getting mobile verification code how we get in Gmail ,& Outlook )   
    if it is possible ,kindly send me the configuration URL to my Mail ID [email protected] & [email protected]
    Thanks & Regards

    You would have to assign Admin role permission to users in EAC.
    To understand this concept in more depth, I would refer you at this well described article : http://www.mustbegeek.com/reset-user-password-in-exchange-2013/
    Or, you may use any third party like, (http://www.selfservicepasswordreset.org/) that seems to be an appropriate approach in your environment. This tool allows end-users to perform self password reset
    and self account unlock from any computer in the network through a web-browser or directly from the login screen without any assistance from the administrator. Administrator can configure strong policy for automatic account unlock and automatic reset
    password at a specified time for any particular domain OU's.

  • Exchange Server 2013 and Remote Access VPN on a single server running Windows Server 2012?

    Just by way of background, I have been installing and administering network servers, e-mail systems, VPN servers, and the like for many years.  However, my involvement with Exchange and Windows Server has been mostly on the forensics and data recovery
    level, or as a (sophisticated) user.  I have never tried to deploy either from scratch before.  My deployment experiences have been mostly with Linux in recent years, and with small private or personal "servers" running such cutting edge
    software as Windows XP back when it was new.  And even NetWare once.
    When a client asked me if I could set up a server for his business, running Exchange Server (since they really want Outlook with all of its bells and whistles to work, particularly calendars) and providing VPN access for a shared file store, I figured it
    could not be too difficult given that its a small business, with only a few users, and nothing sophisticated in the way of requirements.  For reasons that don't bear explaining here, he was not willing to use a vendor hosting Exchange services or cloud
    storage.  There is no internal network behind the server; it is intended to be a stand-alone server, hanging off a static IP address on the Internet, providing the entirely mobile work-force of about 10 people with Exchange-hosted e-mail for their computers
    and phones, a secure file store, and not much else.  If Exchange didn't need it, I would not need to install Active Directory, for example.  We have no direct need for its services.
    So I did the research and it appears, more by implication than outright assertion, that I should be able to run Windows Server 2012 with Exchange Server 2013 on a server that also hosts Remote Access (VPN only) and does nothing else.  And it appears
    I ought to be able to do it without virtualizing any of it.  However, I have spent the last three or four days fighting one mysterious issue after another.  I had Remote Access VPN working and fairly stable very quickly (although it takes a very
    long time to become available after the server boots), and it has mostly remained reliable throughout although at times while installing Exchange it seems to have dropped out on me.  But I've always been able to get it back after scrounging through the
    logs to find out what is bothering it.  I have occasionally, for a few minutes at a time, had Exchange Server willing to do everything it should do (although not always everything at the same time).  At one point I even received a number of e-mails
    on my BlackBerry that had been sent to my test account on the Exchange Server, and was able to send an e-mail from my BlackBerry to an outside account.
    But then Exchange Server just stopped.  There are messages stuck in the queues, among other issues, but the Exchange Administration Center refuses now to display anything (after I enter my Administrator password, I just get a blank screen, whether on
    the server or remotely).
    So, I am trying to avoid bothering all of you any more than I have to, but let me just begin with the basic question posed in the title: Can I run Exchange Server (and therefore Active Directory and all of its components) and Remote Access (VPN only) on
    a single Windows Server 2012 server?  And if so, do I have to run virtual machines (which will require adding more memory to the server, since I did not plan for it when I purchased it)?  If it can be done, can anyone provide any pointers on what
    the pitfalls are that may be causing my problems?  I am happy to provide whatever additional information anyone might like to help figure it out.
    Thanks!

    An old thread but I ran into this issue and thought I share my solution since I ran into the same issue. Configuring VPN removes the HTTPS 443 binding on the Default Site in IIS for some strange reason; just go and editing the bindings, add HTTPS and things
    should be back to normal.

  • Exchange Server 2013 Update from to CU3 to CU8 stuck, Exchange completely down

    Hello,
    We tried to update a Exchange 2013 server to CU8 because we needed support from Microsoft (certificate revoked, so OWA not working anymore) and they could only help us after updating to CU8 first. The problem is that the update got stuck and now Exchange
    is not working at all anymore. Since it is a production enviroment and there is mail in all outboxes we do not want to turn back to a snapshot but solve the problem and continue the update. Any help is welcome because all mail is down now :-(

    Hello Gadget,
    Please find the solution as follows
    This error is concern about WMSVC certificate which was deleted, we could refer to the following steps:
    1- Go to IIS Manager and select server certificate,
    2- Select “Create Self-Signed Certificate”,
    3- For Server 2012 in the Friendly Name Field type: WMSVC and select the personal (certificate Store),
    4- Now go to ” Management Service”,
    5- From SSL Certificate choose the newly create “WMSVC” Self-Signed Certificate,
    6- Apply,
    7- Now  start service of “Web Management service”.

  • Exchange Server 2013 SP1 - Readiness Check Failing - Detected Non-existent Exchange 2007 Servers

    For development purposes, I needed to install Exchange Server 2013 in our environment.  Our current environment includes a couple Domain Controllers, a Sharepoint Server, and a SQL Server.  So, it's got a very simple topology.  The one thing
    our environment does NOT have are current Exchange servers.
    During the "Prerequisite Analysis" phase of the install it complained that two servers, that I can find nowhere in our active directory domain, are running Exchange 2007.  Obviously, this presents some unique problems.  Perhaps as a test
    many years ago, someone installed Exchange 2007 to "play" with, but we've never run Exchange for any length of time.  
    So, this is quite the conundrum, given the above does anyone have any suggestions as to a potential solution?  Ideally, I'd like to be able to "lift the covers" and cleanup the references to the non-existent servers somehow, but ANY suggestions
    for fixes are MUCH appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Nate

    Here is the thing I would do (Only if I am not going to have any exchange 2007 ever in the environment).
    On any of windows server 2008 download
    Exchange 2010 SP3
    Extract the file and run the below command:
    Setup.com /ps
    This will make Exchange 2013 install. Also Deleting Exchange Administrator Group wouldn't help as Setup will look for the information about schema into AD.

  • Exchange Server 2013 - Sizing

    Can some please provide me Exchange server 2013 sizing for 180 Mailbox users with mailbox profile size 10 GB With 1 DAG with two mailbox servers.
    Please provide for Exchange Server in Virtual environment.
    I have already created a setup on Environment going through test mode.
    Existing Environment
    2 X CAS servers -  2 Core - 4 GB Memory - 500 GB Hard disk space
    2 X Mailbox Server - 2 Core -  12 GB Memory - 1.5 TB disk space
    Theses servers are build on VMWare hosted on ESX server
    Please provide your feedback for best practice and solution to support 180 Mailbox profile with Mailbox size limit 10 GB
    Thanks in adavance

    Hi Benhur,
    we have over one thousand mailboxes ( inc. room,shared,calendar and so on).We only have 2 servers With Mailbox and CAS role.No need to seperate those roles if you really dont have to.2013 CAs only Proxy/redirect requests and nothing is stored (other that
    daily performance log and iis log).C: drive for Exchange install i recomend 70gb on each server.
    When it comes to mailbox database,are you planning to use Public folders?In 2013 Public folders can be stored on seperate databases.
    Also it is not recomended to have Exchange and mailbox database on same physical disk,so you should seperate those out and expand over time without taking Down the server.
    In easy sample the server can look like this:
    C: Install Exchange  70GB
    D: Database files 1GB ( here you map multiple databases in different folders,so it look like D:\DB01,D:\DB02,D:\DB03 and so on.And each folder is an own 300 gb disk that you Mount into one of these folders at time.Path and name have to be identical on both
    servers when setting up DAG.)
    E: Log files 1GB ( here you map multiple databases in different folders,so it look like E:\LOG01,E:\LOG02,E:\LOG03 and so on.And each folder is its own 70 gb disk that you Mount into one of these folders at time.Path and name have to be identical on
    both servers when setting up DAG.)
    Approx 300GB each database and 70 gb each log(for each database) should be fine.
    10gb database pr user can cause performance issue if they are working online (Citrix or other apps),if cache locally it might take time if they are not inside worknetwork.
    Dont forget that you should also have your own replication network or it will consume bandwidth when you move over multiple users to different databases.
    Hope this helps!
    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

  • Folders Exist After Installing Exchange Server 2013

    Hi,
    We installed Exchange Server 2013 SP1 a while ago and noticed two directories were created:
    D:\MonitoringDiagnosticLogs\MSExchangeHMHost (Contains a file called MSExchangeHMHost20141231-1)
    and
    D:\TransportRoles\Logs\SyncHealth\Hub
    I also noticed the second folder is addressed in Cumulative Update 5.
    I have the following questions:
    1. Does applying CU5 remove the second directory? If not, is it safe for me to delete this directory?
    2. What about the first directory? How do I get rid of that? Is it safe for me to delete it?
    3. If I cannot get rid of the two directories is it safe for me to create a new partition, move the directories to it, and mark it as D:\ so the path remains the same?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi,
    Based on my research, the two additional directories are created on this D:\ drive during installation of Exchange 2013 automatically:
    D:\MonitoringDiagnosticLogs\MSExchangeHMHost
    D:\TransportRoles\Logs\SyncHealth
    Currently, there is no official document about this issue. Since it will not cause any issue, you can leave it there.
    We will wait for the official explanation of the issue. We highly appreciate your kindly understanding and patience.

  • Installation error for Exchange Server-2013

    I am trying to install exchange server-2013 on my Windows server-2012
    machine. I have configured per-requisite applications and develop the server environment with active directory roles.
    At my readiness check option, it shows the following error:-
    "An unsupported operating system was detected . Exchange server-2013 client access and mailbox server roles support windows server -2008R2 SP1 or later  and windows server-2012".
    I am not using any V-machine or option. So how do i resolve the issue to install the Exchange server-2013? Please help me.

  • Windows Server 2012 C Drive gets always full with exchange server 2013 installed

    Hi All
    My C drive gets full always with exchange server 2013 installed what would be the reason because this is causing extremely bad to my environment can somebody help me please
    Thanks & Regards, Santosh Chowdary Vasireddy System Administrator Prolifcs DHFLVC Silicon Towers, 5th Floor, Survey #14, Kondapur, Hyderabad – 500 032. Work +91 40 3999 1999 Ex.1656 l Cell +91 9849277255 l [email protected] A Global

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I understand that this issue (C drive gets always full) occurred after Exchange
    Server 2013 installed.
    à
    But my exchange server is installed in different Drive (EX: D)
    I suggest that you should check file system to see what folders or files are taking up the space recently.
    This issue may be not related to Exchange server.
    Please refer to the following article and enable Disk Cleanup Utility. Then monitor the result.
    Enabling
    Disk Cleanup Utility in Windows Server 2012
    Meanwhile, please check if the winsxs directory is growing bigger.
    How
    to Reduce the Size of the Winsxs directory and Free Up Disk Space on Windows Server 2012 Using Features on Demand
    By the way, please check if you have installed update rollup 2836988. I noticed that Windows.edb file grows
    very large. For more details, please refer to the following KB.
    The Windows.edb file grows very large in Windows 8 or Windows
    Server 2012
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Exchange Server 2013 In Windows Server 2012 - unable to logon EXchange Administrator Center (EAC)

    Hi All,
    I Just installed Exchange Server 2013 in Windows Server 2012 and trying to connect Dynamics CRM 2013 (DNS).
    The Installations Success full but unable to load the EAC page by using the following URL
    https://servername:port/owa/auth/logon.aspx
    I have cross checked in Exchange/owa/auth folder don't have the "logon.aspx" file 
    But the auth folder have the "logoff.aspx" 
    I installed many time freshly in separate WS-2012 but it not contains that logon.aspx 
    I want access the Exchange Administrator Center 
    Please Help me to solve it 
    IIS Exchange (Missing of logon.aspx)

    Hi All,
    I sorted out this problem 
    Actually we have to run these 2 commands in Domain Control, But what i did  I just run this
    1) setup /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
    Command in Domain Control we don't need to run the 2nd command, Because I already try to installed exchange 2013 very first time it success and after some modifications
    it gone.
    That time it will ask you to provide Organization name, Once you give that it will create the Organization name in Domain control and it will save the settings when
    you install first time 
    Because of this reason It is failing to run these 2 command
    Finally what i did I just revert back my Domain control snapshot & Exchange server as well 
    Then i started freshly Installation in DC and Exchange server 2013 successfully installed 
    URL http://servername/ecp/default.aspx
    Whole Process will be here
