Exchange Server 2013 Multi Role Server Hardware Setup

Is below a good ok setup for a multi role exchange server??
Any suggestions?
1.8TB of data (databases split to 18 databases at 100GB each), nightly archive runs so databases will not grow past 100GB each
25 GB of logs daily, logs cleared nightly by backup
Dell PowerEdge R620
Dual Xeon E5-2620
128GB RAM
Single PERC710P RAID Controller
10 x 900GB 10K RPM Drives (2 Volumes)
Volume 1: OS/Apps/Logs - 4 x 900GB, RAID 10 = 1.5TB
Volume 2: Databases - 6 x 900GB, RAID 10 = 2.5TB

Hi,
To get the multiple Exchange 2013 roles hardware requirements, I recommend you use Exchange 2013 Server Role Requirements Calculator:

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Safari disappears from iPad with addition of Exchange Server email setup

After updating the iPad with the new operating system, I noticed Safari disappeared and found no solution. Apple personnel had me restore the iPad system (which wiped out all the settings and caused me to lose numerous documents). But after the restore, I had Safari...until I again set up my email through Exchange Server. I can set up Gmail and my email through MobileMe and there is no problem. But setting up my email from Exchange Server causes Safari to disappear every time. Likewise, if I delete the email from Exchange Server, Safari is suddenly available and working well.
Any solutions.

I'm having the same problem. Updated to 4.2 everything is great except Safari is gone.
When I go into the General Settings, restrictions are disabled but Safari (and only safari) is turned to off.
So I added a passcode and enable restrictions, but I can't turn on safari.
If I delete the exchange account. Safari comes back. If I add it again it disappears.
I can't seem to find anything that can be tweaked on the server side of exchange or the client side of the ipad, Anyone have any ideas?
Mick you wouldn't know what the exchange setting was that needed to be changed?

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 :-(
The error we received at the Exchange Server is:
C:\Users\administrator.DOMAINNAME\Downloads\Exchange-cu8>setup.exe /m:upgrade /In

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 2013 2 Node Multi role Servers with DAG issues connecting OWA users

Hi
I am on a job at the moment whereby I have 2 exchange 2013 multi role servers. Both are CAS and Mailbox servers. I have 2 databases, 1 called MBXDB01 and the other MBXDB02. MBXDBX01 is on Server 1 and 02 on Server 2.
I have created a DAG and included both databases. Active copy of MBXDB01 is on Server 1 and MBXDB02 on Server 2
I have configured the external and internal URLS of all virtual directories on both servers to be the same publically accessible FQDN. I have assigned the trusted cert to IIS and all other services on both servers. I have modified internal split brain DNS
to point the FQDN used to both Server 1 and Server 2 IP addresses with a TTL of 30 seconds. And also for autodiscover.
All test exchange connectivity comes back green and good from external and from outlook Test-Autoconfiguration autodiscover information is displayed correctly.
The problem I am having is that when a user access the FQDN from a web browser i.e owa.domain.com/owa they get the login screen. This could be from either server 1 or 2 depending on DNS round robin. In this example lets say the user is accessing OWA on SERVER
1 and their mailbox lives on SERVER 2.
In this scenario when they login they get a page :( OOps Something Went Wrong and the exception is this
A problem occurred while you were trying to use your mailbox.
X-OWA-Error: Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.UserHasNoMailboxException
X-OWA-Version: 15.0.847.32
X-FEServer: SERVER1
X-BEServer: SERVER2
The URL provides a little more info
/auth/errorfe.aspx?httpCode=500&msg=861904327&owaError=Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.UserHasNoMailboxException&owaVer=15.0.847.32&be=SERVER2&ts=130398071193518373
However, if the user accesses OWA via the private FQDN of SERVER 2 i.e https://SERVER2/owa they are able to access their mailbox.
It is driving me nuts.
Has anyone got any suggestions? I am tearing my hair out here
Thanks
One very frustrated field engineer :)

Hi,
To narrow down the cause, I recommend the following troubleshooting:
1. Please double check the DNS entries about the host name used in the OWA URL.
2. Add A record that the host name used in the OWA URL points to server 2 IP address in a user local host file. Then try to login OWA again.
3. Check your event log and find if there is any error about OWA.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

hi Cynthna7575
Thank you for your question.
By your state,I think you want to install EMC on windows 7.
If that,you can refer to the following steps;
1.Check that you have installed the necessary operating system components
a.     Open Control Panel, and then select Programs.
b.     Click Turn Windows features on or off.
c.     Select Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1.
d.     Navigate to Internet Information Services > Web Management Tools >IIS 6 Management Compatibility.
e.     Select the check box for IIS 6 Management Console, and then click OK.
2.Ensure that you un-tick the box during the setup wizard to automatically install roles and features required for Exchange
3.If there will be issue, you can try to install Exchange management tool in other Windows 7 X64 machine to see whether it is OK
If any questions,please let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim Xu

Exchange Server 2003 Email setup on IPHONE and IPOD Touch

Hi we have Exchange Server 2003 (SP2) on Windows Standard Server 2003 and we can access OWA from any browser and also am able to setup Exchange server Emails on Blackberry device without any problem but when I try to setup on IPHONE or IPOD touch I get error message saying Can not connet to server. I tried to get the answer on google and seems like it should work but seems like I need to some other settings on exchange server to setup exchange server email on Iphone or Ipod. Any idea what could be the issue.

Sorry I forgot to tell you that I tried without Exchange also.
I tested my activsync Connectivity test from https://testexchangeconnectivity.com/ and it fails at SSL. (Port 80 and 443 shows open and passed) In our server we bought SSL scertificate last year from godaddy and installed as I thought it requires but later on I removed as I was not able to setup iphone. So I don't know what could be the exact problem.

I should add that the source server's AD configuration might not be perfect due to this being the second attempt at a SBS 2011 migration install.
I'd be grateful for any help I can get on this as SBS migration has been plauged with multiple setbacks already. I really need to get this done! ;)
Thanks,
Voon

Thank you Larry and Al for your replies.
I used the 'official' migration
guide plus this page (http://www.techieshelp.com/step-by-step-guide-to-migrating-to-sbs-2011/)
as my migration references. The SBS migration prep tool gave no errors on the source server when I ran it.
I have a full system drive image plus a a system state backup from before migration. Though I am very loathed to rollback the migration and attempt a new one - again. I will do some searching to see if I can resolve the Exchange server problem and continue
the migration/installation. If not, then its a system state restore for me. One of Al's links had a resource for doing a thorough check of AD - which something I'd run if I have to another migration attempt.
I am also really tempted to open up a paid MS support ticket for them to help me fix this problem. :)

Integrate On-Premises Exchange Server With Windows Server Essentials

I have Exchange Server 2013 installed on Win Server 2012 R2 joined to Windows Server Essentials domain. Attempting to integrate the Exchange Server into the Essentials domain from the Essentials Dashboard using the wizard fails with the error, "Cannot
locate an Exchange Server on the network. Make sure that your Exchange Server is setup and that it is connected to the network". I can communicate with the server in multiple ways from the Essentials Server and other computers on the domain. Mail
flow in and out of the Exchange Server works without issue. I can use the various management tools to administer the Exchange Server. The only task I cannot complete is integrating it into the Essentials environment which I need to do to move on
to creating user mailboxes for user accounts setup in AD.
All research to date has come up empty handed.
Help!

Hi RSUL,
Any update?
On current situation, would you please let me confirm something more? It may help me to understand this issue
clearly.
Would you please let me know how join the Windows Server 2012 R2 (which had been installed Exchange Server 2013) to Windows Server Essentials domain? Did use Connector software
(type http://servername/connect)?
On server essentials, please open Dashboard and navigate to DEVICES. Then check the Status of this server which had been installed Exchange Server 2013.
Currently, the Services Integration features, including on-premises Exchange integration, are only supported in a single domain controller environment. Meanwhile, the integration
wizard must be run on a domain controller.
In addition, please refer to the following article and check if can help you.
On
Premises Exchange Integration Windows Server 2012 Essentials
Integrate an On-Premises Exchange Server
with Windows Server Essentials
By the way, please check Event Viewer and some relevant logs if you can find some more clues.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

1035 Warning Every 15 Minutes on a Multi-Role Exchange 2013 Server

Hello,
I keep getting a 1035 warning every 15 minutes by Exchange 2013 which states:
Inbound authentication failed with error LogonDenied for Receive connector Client Frontend EXCHANGE-SERVER. The authentication mechanism is Login. The source IP address of the client who tried to authenticate to Microsoft Exchange is [127.0.0.1].
This error is produced by MSExchangeFrontEndTransport.
This server is a multirole server and is the only Exchange Server in the organization.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Please open the Queue Viewer tool from the Toolbox node to check if there are any messages stuck in queue. If yes, then this issue occurs if the Exchange server cannot authenticate with the remote Exchange server. Exchange
servers requires authentication to route internal user messages between servers. The issue can be caused by one of the following reasons:
The Exchange server is experiencing Time synchronization issues
The Exchange server is experiencing Service Principal Name (SPN) issues
The required TCP/UDP ports for the Kerberos protocol are blocked by the firewall.
Please follow these steps to solve this issue:
Check the clock on both servers and domain controllers that might be used to authenticate the servers. All clocks should be synchronized to within 5 minutes of one other.
Verify that the
Service Principal Name (SPN) for SMTPSVC is registered correctly on the target server.
Make sure that the SMTP and SMTPSVC entries are added correctly to the machine account by using the
SetSPN tool. For example:
SetSPN -L <ExchangeServerName>
SMTP/<ExchangeServerName>
SMTP/<ExchangeServerName>.example.com
SMTPSVC/<ExchangeServerName>
SMTPSVC/<ExchangeServerName>.example.com
Check for duplicate SPNs by using the SetSPN tool. There should only be one entry of each:
SetSPN -x
Processing entry 0
found 0 group of duplicate SPNs.
Verify that the ports required for Kerberos are enabled.
If the previous steps do not work, you can turn on logging for Kerberos on the Server that is registering the Event 1035 message, which may provide additional information. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click
OK.
Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
DWORD Value.
In the details pane, input the new value LogLevel, and then press Enter.
Right-click LogLevel, and then click Modify.
In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, under Base, click
Decimal.
In the Value data box, type the value 1, and then click
OK.
Close Registry Editor.
Again check the System Event log for any Kerberos errors.
Best Regards.

Exchange Server 2013 setup / coexistance Exchange 2010

So started setting up Exchange 2013 and ran into a random issue regarding the OAB. Resolved by deleting/recreating the OAB in Exchange 2010.
My issue now is setup will not complete, just tells me an "Incomplete Installation Detected" starts to resume the installation. Upon "next" I receive just a hanging screen of "Setup Progress" which goes no where.

Hi,
Let's try the following resolutions:
1. Check if the discovery SearchMailbox is present on Exchange 2010 when you run the Exchange 2013 Install.
2. Reinstall your Exchange 2013 server:
Open ADSIEDIT, CN=Configuration, DC=your domain ->CN=Services ->CN=Microsoft Exchange ->CN=First Organization ->CN=Administrative Groups ->Cn=Exchange Administrative Group ->CN=Servers ->CN=Server name
After remove the exchange server, please reinstall your exchange server to test the result.
Thanks,

Exchange Server 2013 - Lab setup with internal emails only

Hi,
I'm new to Exchange Server 2013. I've started a POC on the product by setting up a Lab environment with one 1 AD server and 1 Exchange server (Both Windows 2012 R2). As this is a POC I just need the internal email communication. I don't want the mails to
go over the internet.
I've completed the installation part and just started to configure Send/Receive connectors and got stuck with the question whether the connectors are required or not.
Could someone please help me out in configuring internal email setup for Exchange 2013 lab setup.
Regards,
Nithin

Hi,
You need not to configure send/receive connectors for internal email.
The following article for your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us//library/aa996395(v=exchg.150).aspx
Default Receive connectors created during setup
Certain Receive connectors are created by default when you install the Mailbox server role.
Default Receive connectors created on a Mailbox server running the Transport service
When you install a Mailbox server running the Transport service, two Receive connectors are created. No additional Receive connectors are needed for typical operation, and in most cases the default Receive connectors don't require a configuration change.
These connectors are the following:
Default <server name>   Accepts connections from Mailbox servers running the Transport service and from Edge servers.
Client Proxy <server name>   Accepts connections from front-end servers. Typically, messages are sent to a front-end server over SMTP.
Each connector is assigned a TransportRole value. You can use it to determine the role the connector is running in. This can be helpful in cases where you are running multiple roles on a single server. In the case of each Receive connector previously
mentioned, their TransportRole value is HubTransport.
To view the default Receive connectors and their parameter values, you can use the
Get-ReceiveConnector cmdlet.
Default Receive connectors created on a Front End Transport server
During installation, three Receive connectors are created on the Front End transport, or Client Access server. The default Front End Receive connector is configured to accept SMTP communications from all IP address ranges. Additionally, there is a Receive
connector that can act as an outbound proxy for messages sent to the front-end server from Mailbox servers. Finally, there is a secure Receive connector configured to accept messages encrypted with Transport Layer Security (TLS). These connectors are the following:
Default FrontEnd <server name>   Accepts connections from SMTP senders over port 25. This is the common messaging entry point into your organization.
Outbound Proxy Frontend <server name>   Accepts messages from a Send Connector on a back-end server, with front-end proxy enabled.
Client Frontend <server name>   Accepts secure connections, with Transport Layer Security (TLS) applied.
In a typical installation, no additional Receive connectors are required.

Hi Ahmet,
I recommend you check the Exchange setup log and post the error information, it may give us some hints to troubleshoot the issue.
You can find the setup log file at <system drive>\ExchangeSetupLogs\ExchangeSetup.log.
In addition, you can also check if there are any error/warning events in the
Application log of Event Viewer on computers which related to exchange setup.
Best regards,
