Exchange Server Installation for a DAG environment

I have prepared 6 servers for exchange 2013 installation :
2 for DC and ADC -- OS windows server 2012 R2
2 for CAS Role -- OS Windows server 2012
2 for Mailbox Role -- OS Windows Server 2012
As Windows Server 2012 R2 is not supported for installing Exchange 2013 i decommissioned 4 Servers ( CAS and Mailbox ) and starting from scratch.
Will the above scenario work now ... like having Domain controller OS in Server 2012 R2 and CAS and Mailbox Server Roles in Server 2012 Version ?
How to install individual Server role for exchange server 2013 ( i mean CAS role on 2 servers and Mailbox on 2 servers). are there any steps to follow on for this ?
Please let me know on this.

Windows 2012 R2 will work for a server OS for your Domain Controllers. However, the Forest and Domain functional levels need to be Windows 2012 or less.
For your Exchange 2013 servers, there are a lot of unanswered questions here and these forums only give us a certain amount of space and time to explain the entire installation process. If this is for production and your not sure what to do,
your best bet is to hire a consultant to help you out to make sure you get all the ins and outs. At the very least you can get assistance in your deployment. If you don't have budget for this or are creating a test lab, you can always try using
the Exchange Deployment -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/jj657516.aspx. This might give you an idea of how to proceed.
There are a lot of examples of Exchange installs out there as well. If this is a lab, these are well worth looking through and tinkering with to get to know the product better:
Example -

Exchange server 2013 - Setting up DAG

Hi Guys,
I have an Exchange 2013 server(a single dedicated box with all the roles(MailBox and Client Access) configured in it. Now I want to enable data redundancy and Failover. So, I want to setup a DAG and my idea is given below.
I Want to setup a 2 node DAG. The first node is my current working box and the second node is another box at a different location. I would then Install Exchange on the 2nd node with mailbox role on it. As it is a 2 node DAG, I would require another box as
a witness server.
Please let me know if there is any flaws with the above setup. Also, let me know if I require a different Exchange server license for the second installation.
Thanks and Regards,
Nash Burns

Hi,
From the article blow, we know a license must be assigned for each instance of the server software that is being run. The second Exchange server need a license.
Exchange Server 2013 licensing
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/microsoft-exchange-server-licensing-licensing-overview-FX103746915.aspx
And the type of license is based on the number of mailbox databases.
Standard: designed for the mailbox needs of small to midsize organizations. Also appropriate for non-mailbox roles in a larger Exchange deployment. This edition supports 1 to 5 mailbox databases.
Enterprise: designed for larger organizations that may require a greater number of mailbox databases. This edition supports 1 to 100 mailbox databases.

Issues trying to recover failed Exchange Server 2013 in a DAG

Having several issues attempting to recover a failed Exchange Server 2013. To start out, the failed server was mounted on a virtual server using hyper-v. The virtual server failed due to some hard drive partition issues and would no longer boot. As there
really was no purpose to having Exchange on a Virtual Server I decided to rename the host to the same name as the virtual server. I reset the name in AD and proceeded to rename the server. Then made sure all the necessary things were installed and proceeded
to do a recovery installation. I neglected to properly delete the old databases belonging to that server. I simply deleted the files off the hard drive instead of doing it properly. I should mention this is a two node plus witness server installation.Now,
it seems I cannot delete the former server in either ECP or command line. I have attempted to clean up the mess with the old databases but there is one that was mounted only on the failed server that I cannot remove. It seems until I can remove that, I cannot
remove the failed server from the DAG and do a recovery install. The steps shown in the tech net articles to remove a failed database have also failed. At this point I am wondering if I should just give up on the server name and do an install on a new server
name or if someone can give me some information on how to clean up the mess, that would be better I am sure. Here is a list of the things I have tried.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876880(v=exchg.150).aspx and in this article, the item mentioned is not in ADSIedit.

Exchange Server Installation

Good day Sir/ Mam
Based on installing Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012. What are the prerequisites if one wants to install it on the member server?

Hi Simtandile,
It depends basically which role you are deploying.
Considerting its the first Exchange Server in your environment, below are the generic requirements.
The computer you want to use to prepare Active Directory for Exchange 2013 has specific prerequisites that must be met.
Install the following software on the computer that will be used to prepare Active Directory:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
The version of Windows Management Framework that corresponds to the version of Exchange 2013 you're installing.
Exchange 2013 CU3
Windows Management Framework 3.0
Exchange 2013 SP1 or later
Windows Management Framework 4.0
Note:
.NET Framework 4.5 and Windows Management Framework 3.0 are included with Windows Server 2012 and don't need to be installed separately.
.NET Framework 4.5 and Windows Management Framework 4.0 are included with Windows Server 2012 R2 and don't need to be installed separately.
NOTE:- WindowsServer2012R2 would require minimum ExchangeServer2013SP1 to work properly.
Exchange 2013 prerequisites

I would recommend you using the

Is there an Exchange server equivalent for Apple Xserve?

I have an Apple Xserve and I'd like to run something like an Exchange server, to allow my Entourage clients to host calendar, email, Tasks, and addressbooks on there. Is Apple working on anything like this?
Mike

Hi
There should be no need to post in the XServe Forum. The XServe is dedicated server hardware, your question is really about the Server OS. You could browse the Server Forum for more information:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=96
To answer your question - Yes, absolutely. Kerio Mail Server:
http://www.kerio.co.uk/kms_home.html
Zimbra:
http://www.zimbra.com/products/
Both of these products offer support for iPhone, Treo and Blackberry. KMS has a handy facility where it can remotely 'wipe' a supported mobile device if its been stolen. Although this is speculation and not really 'allowed' on these forums I think Apple is working towards similar features in their forthcoming Server products. Right now Apple's built in mail server is poor in terms of what is offered using the Interface. It's good enough to get you going if all you want are simple Mail Services. It's actually quite good. However if you want more then you there is not much you can't achieve if you're prepared to use the command line. A necessity at some stage if you are contemplating administering a server regardless of its role. Apple are planning to expand what is available by adding 'out of office' and server side 'email rules' facilities in Snow Leopard:
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/snowleopard/
You don't have that currently unless you are prepared to install avelsieve:
http://email.uoa.gr/avelsieve/
I'm not sure how well Apple's built-in Mail Server supports shared contacts and calendars with Microsoft's products? It's been some time but I have had some mixed success in the past. KMS has no problem regardless of platform or what is being used. For PCs it behaves exactly as if it was an Exchange Server.

Content server installations for OLM

Dear all,
We are in 11.5.10.2 instance with DB 10.1.0.5 ( upgraded) on multy node HPUX-PA-RISC and Itanium
We need to install content server in the different m/c. and we are going through the note 351047.1
In that they mentioned "Install container"
Is webserver Oracle 9iAS Release 2 will work for OLM content server setup.
If that is the case Is infrastructure should be installed first?
Is the Portal and wireless will work for our case?
what about 9i AS application server installation?
Kindly give us the detailed installation steps for OLM content server setup.
and What OS will be best suitable for this?
Thanks and regards
Vasu

Dear all,
I am having some doubts in the doc: 374677.1 Utilising content server with Oracle Learning management.
Let us take our existing oracle application as "APPS server" and content server install on windows is "CONTENT server"
(1) Install the container, such as Apache and ApacheJserv.
Ans: CONTENT server
(2) Create a servlet repository called servlets. For example, in Jserv, the servlets
repository exists by default.
Ans: CONTENT server
(3) Copy the following files to your servlet repository directory:
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ContentServerServlet.class
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ProtocolConstants.class
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/SystemUtils.class
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/SystemUtils$JarUtility.class
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ContentServeerClientData.class
Note:
The file location depends on the variable $JAVA_TOP.
If the application is running successfully then these files should definitely exist there
Make sure that the ENTIRE directory structure is copied over to the servlet repository directory.
So if the servlet repository directory is:
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/servlets
then the destination of these classes are as follows:
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/servlets/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ContentServerServlet.class
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/servlets/oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util/ProtocolConstants.class
etc
Ans: APPS server to CONTENT server. how top copy entire directory structure
is we need to create directory like "oracle/apps/ota/admin/common/util"
(4) Also ensure the oracle.apps.fnd.common.VersionInfo.class file is located
under the class path directory that is defined for the repository.
Note:
This file should be found under $JAVA_TOP as follows:
$JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/fnd/common/VersionInfo.class
Again, the entire directory structure needs to be copied, for example.:
$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/servlets/oracle/apps/fnd/common/VersionInfo.class
Ans: from APPS server to CONTENT server
==========================================
(5) In zone.properties, add the following: (????? which zone properties
APPS server or CONTENT server?????????
# ----- OLM Content server ----- # servlet.OtaContentServerServlet.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.ContentServerServlet
servlet.OtaProtocolConstants.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.ProtocolConstantsservlet.OtaSystemUtils.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.SystemUtils
servlet.OtaSystemUtils$JarUtility.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.SystemUtils$JarUtilityservlet.OtaContentServerClientData.code=oracle.apps.ota.admin.common.util.ContentServerClientData
#----- END OLM
Note:
The zone.properties file location can vary depending on the implementation, usually in the apache server.
Ask the admin who set up the apache server, or look under the apache server setup.
(6) Create an alias for the directory where the content will be stored. For example, in Apache, to create an alias for the physical directory
Ans: CONTENT server
D:/apache/rootdir/, add the following inside the httpd.conf file:
Alias /content/ ’D:/apache/rootdir/’
(7) Add the list of middle tiers and the temporary file location as arguments to the Java Interpreter. For example, in Jserv, add following lines inside the jserv.properties file:
Ans : CONTENT server.
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Dmiddletier=148.87.19.51+148.87.19.50+144.25.78.202+10.10.20.140wrapper.bin.parameters=-DTemp=D:\temp
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/dbfiles/applcsf/log
Here the numbers, such as 148.87.19.51 and 148.87.19.50, are IP addresses of all trusted middle tiers, and + is the separator for multiple addresses.
Servers not specified in the list are not able to access the servlet.
D:\temp is the absolute path of the temp location where files are saved temporarily while handling physical content.
/dbfiles/applcsf/log is any existing directory for log files.
Pl go through the above and clear my doubt. ( about which server we need to do the task).
1. CONTENT server.
2. CONTENT server.
3. from APPS server to CONTENT server.
4. from APPS server to CONTENT server.
5. ????? which server CONTENT server or APPS server??????? if it is a APPS server under which directory the zone.property file will locate.
6. CONTENT server.
7. CONTENT server.
Kindly suggest me.

Vasu

Are there any timesten installation for data warehouse environment?

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to install timesten as an in memory database for data warehouse environment?
The DW today consist of a large Oralcle database and I wonder if and how a timesten implementation can be done.
what kind of application changes involve with such an implementation and so on?
I know that the answer is probably complex but if anyone knows about such an implementation and some information about it , it would be great to learn from that experience.
Thanks,
Adi

Adi,
It depends on what you want to do with the data in the TimesTen database. If you know the "hot" dataset that you want to cache in TimesTen, you can use Cache Connect to Oracle to cache a subset of your Oracle tables into TimesTen. The key is to figure out what queries you want to run and see if the queries are supported in TimesTen.
Assuming you know the dataset you need to cache and you have control of your application code to change the connection to TimesTen (using ODBC or JDBC), you can give it a try. If you are using a third party tool, you need to see if the tool supports JDBC or ODBC access to the database and change the tool to point to your TimesTen database instead of the Oracle database.
If you are using the TimesTen Cache Connect to Oracle product option, data synchronization between Oracle and TimesTen is handled automatically by the product.
Without further details of what you'd like to do, it's difficult to provide more detailed recommendation.

Content Server installation for Delivery

Hi,
I have managed to do a content management installation with a single node to a WebLogic domain. I have read the installation documentation available but have not found instructions on how to set up a delivery configuration. The installer gives you an option at "Sites System Type" to select "Delivery System" and I understand this creates a deployment package for delivery only installation.
However, it is not clear whether I need to create an additional domain to host the delivery installation. So, should I do a setup like this:
SitesEditorialDomain with SitesEditorialCluster containing a single node SitesEditorialServer01 - this would be the content management site
SitesDeliveryDomain with SitesDeliveryCluster containing one or more nodes (like SitesDeliveryServer01 and so forth) this would be the target for publishing content
SitesSatelliteDomain with SitesSatelliteCluster containing one or more satellite server nodes to serve cached content
This would resemble the Fatwire installations I am familiar with. Am I on a right track?
Br,
Timo

Exchange Server setting for Outlook 2013 in Office Customization Tool

Hello,
I'm try to configure Office Customization Tool such that when a domain user logs into any workstation, their outlook profile is automatically configured and the shared department email account is added as the secondary mailbox but it hasn't worked for me.
I looked up for the settings on the internet where I found a few server settings but none of them worked for me. We have Office365; I added outlook.office365.com, and the settings that starts with chprod.. that didn't work either. I also sent a test email,
and looked up the server settings from messageheaderanalyzer in office365 OWA and added the settings in the OCT, that couldn't pull up the email either. How can I make it to work?
Just to be clear, this is what I want.
When a user logs in to the workstation and starts outlook, it should find the users email and configure it automatically. Then it should also add department mailbox as their secondary mailbox if they have permission.
Thanks

There is however an Outlook Group Policy
Template: "Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP address"
"This policy setting controls whether users who are joined to a domain in an Active Directory environment can change the primary SMTP address that is used when they set up accounts in Outlook.
If this policy setting is enabled, users can create a new profile by entering a profile name. The profile is created without using the New Account wizard. No user interface appears as the profile is created, which might cause users to think that the computer
has crashed.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users joined to a domain in an Active Directory environment, and without a configured email account, see the current logged in user’s primary SMTP address entered in the email address box in the New
Account wizard. The email address can be changed to configure a different account. Or, if Next is clicked, the default settings are used."

Why does exchange server work for MSN Mail on iPad and not on Mac Mini?

My MSN Mail works great on my iPad and iPhone but will not work on my Mac Mini? I input the same server address but it will not connect. I've even tried m.hotmail.com, etc. but not joy.
Any ideas please?

At the moment the only way to do this between a Mac and iPad with Outlook/Hotmail would be if you used webmail on the Mac. Anything you do in webmail would be shown on the iPad and vice versa.
It used to be possible with the free GMail to use IMAP on the Mac and ActiveSync on the iPhone/iPad which would have been the sort of solution you are looking for. Now with the free GMail you have to use IMAP on the iPhone/iPad as well (ActiveSync is no longer available in the free GMail). IMAP would sync the changes still.
Unfortunately as IMAP is not available for Outlook.com/Hotmail you cannot do the samething as a workaround.
You could get a free GMail account and have it collect all your Hotmail messages, then you could use IMAP on both.
