Exchange vs. 10.5 Server

Great Event yesterday - But it left me wondering where 10.5 Server is going to be when the 2.0 firmware for the iPhone is released.
No LDAP Adressbooks on the iPhone, no Push-Email, no Push-Calendars...
What are your thoughts on that?

I have been thinking this too, not a word about Apple's own server solutions. Also being able to sync my ipod touch/iphone with .mac would be handy as well.

Installing Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2

Now that SP1 has been released, it is supported to run Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2
But since it is not yet possible to download Exchange 2013 with integrated SP1 (slipstreamed), is the following installation procedure supported:
- Install Exchange 2013 (without SP1) on Windows Server 2012 R2
- Install SP1 on top of Exchange 2013
If this is not supported, can someone tell me when the Exchange 2013 with integrated SP1 (slipstreamed) download will be released?

yes the SP1 is the full product. if you need step by step instruction to migrate to this new version you can get info here : http://buenoflex.com/install-exchange-2013-sp1/

Is it ok to install Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012 Standard?

Hello everyone,
I'd like to know if it is ok/safe to install Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012 Standard?
As I started doing some research and noticed a page where Microsoft states they don't recommend running Exchange on Server 2012 Standard, and recommend making 2 different servers one for Active Directory and another for Exchange.
On that page they also listed some features that wouldn't work in case of Exchange is running on Server 2012. And that it may put a larger data load if setup this way.
I am hoping someone knowledgeable can explain and tell me if it is safe to use such setup or if it is better to use something like SBS 2011 Standard instead, which has Exchange included?
Has anyone installed Exchange 2013 on Server 2012 Standard successfully and used it for more then several months without problems?
Also just to give an idea on my background, I've been in IT field fairly long but haven't really updated to newer versions much and mainly used SBS 2003 and 2008 only with a few clients so haven't used 2008 too much.
Thanks in advance.

Few things to note.
There is
NO SBS in 2012
All you need is a Std edition of Windows for Exchange 2013, as there is no difference in features between Std and Datacenter as far as Exchange is concerned.
For 10 users, you can have one box with both AD and Exchange. It is not MS recommeded, but it IS supported.

Trying to run appcmd.exe against Exchange Back End/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync

I'm manually removing the Trend Micro WFBS Messaging Security Agent (MSA) from my SBS 2011 (Exchange Server 2010). One of the steps is to run this command:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list module /module.name:SMSEXActiveSyncHook /app.name:"Exchange Back End/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync"
Running it I get: ERROR cannot find APP object with identifier "Exchange Back End/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync"
How should this command be written?

Hi,
I recommend you ask this in Trend Micro forum
as this is not an exchange issue.
In addition, for using "appcmd.exe", you can refer to the following article:

A Unified Messaging server running the same version of Exchange as the Mailbox server that hosts the user's mailbox couldn't be found.

Hi Team-
we are getting below alert in Exchange 2013 on UM server
a Unified Messaging server running the same version of Exchange as the Mailbox server that hosts the user's mailbox couldn't be found.
eventID 1647
The Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging Call Router service rejected the call for the following reason: 15505;source="Exchange 2013 server ";reason="Couldn't find a valid Unified Messaging server to redirect the call." Microsoft.Exchange.UM.UMCore.CallRejectedException:
An incoming call with ID for user was rejected because a Unified Messaging server running the same version of Exchange as the Mailbox server that hosts the user's mailbox couldn't be found.
we have exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013.
Sender of the voice mail is on the Exchange 2013 and receiver of the voice mail is on Exchange 2010
Is this not supported scenario of Exchange 2013 UM server and Exchange 2010 mailbox server
ksrugi

You cannot and should not expect Exchange 2013 UM function for mailboxes housed in Exchange 2010. And the reverse is true as well. If you want Exchange 2013 UM to function for users, their mailboxes need to be in Exchange 2013. Exchange
2013 UM should be able to redirect calls to an Exchange 2010 UM server if it detected a call was destined for a mailbox being hosted by Exchange 2010, assuming the UM servers/roles/services are within the same UM Dial Plan.

How to to make Cluster between two server 2012 Datacenter with share storage and Hyper-V role then install Exchange 2013 on each server datacenter then make DAG between Exchange servers

Dears,
I have IBM Flex server with built in storage,
HOW to to make Cluster between two server 2012 Datacenter with share storage and Hyper-V role then install Exchange 2013 on each server datacenter then make DAG between Exchange servers?
If there any prerequisites of the Share storage types ?and any configuration guide to deploy Cluster between two Server 2012 datacenter ?

Microsoft Failover Clusters require shared storage. If you wish to create a failover cluster with local storage, you need to use third party software to mirror the disks and present it to the hosts (siog.com, datacore.com, starwind.com). If you
use third party software, you will need to follow their instructions for configuring the environment.
Questions on how to configure Exchange environments are better asked in an Exchange forum.

How to migrate Exchange HUB transport 2007 server with Exchange Hub transport 2010.

Hi,
How to migrate hub transport 2007 server with Exchange 2010 hub transport server.
Regards
Anil

Hi Anil
You do not do an in-place upgrade of Exchange - you build new Exchange 2010 Hub Transport Servers, you can utilize existing hardware by uninstalling and installing Exchange 2010 - but you must have Hub Transport Servers that match the Exchange version in
place for all Mailbox Servers that have the same Exchange version.
Essentially there must be Exchange 2007 Hub Transport servers in place whilst there are Exchange 2007 Mailbox servers.
Read "Upgrading from Exchange 2007 Transport -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd346708%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx"
Exchange 2010 will synchronise certain configuration like Transport Rules and journaling when installing the first Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server, but from then on you must ensure synchronisation yourself.
Send Connectors and Recieve Connectors will need manual configuration.

How other email server (sendmail) will make connection to Exchange 2010 mutli role server.

Hi,
We have 2 Exchange 2010 multi role server and one load balancer for Cas array.
Now we do understand that DAG will be using for database and CAS can be in HA mode via Load balancer.
Now question is, we do have other non-microsoft email server with same smtp address so when this sendmail server will try to make connection to exchange 2010, which server name/ip we need to give them.
Will it be DAG ip/name or do we need to give both server IP.
Amit Rawat | MCITP - Exchange 2007/2010| CCNA |MCSE- 2003| Lync 2010|http://blog.amitrawat.net

you can use whatever Ip's are listening on port 25 on the 2010 hub transports.
If your load balancer is listening on port 25 and balancing that (probably only a https loadbalancer?) you can use that ip.
If not you can put your 2 cas server IP's in the smart host connector from the sendmail box.
It certainly wont be the DAG ip as the mailbox role has nothing to do with the hub transport.
Foremost i don't have separate CAS here, I do have 2 Exchange(cas/HT/MBX) and DAG is configured.
when sendmail send email to Exchange i need to use some common smtp address to point these servers, so that if one goes down sendmail server can still make connection via that common name.
i can not put two name space(since these 2 exchange are HT server as well) for sendmail server. Any suggestion .

Exchange 2010 and Windows server backup hanging

I have a new install of Exchange 2010 running on Server 2K8 standard that I am trying to backup using the Windows server backup. For some reason it just sits at Running Consistency Check for Application Exchange.
I've had it sitting there for about 12 hours with no backup activity taking place.
Has anyone seen this or have any idea whats going on?

Additionally, if you check task manager and see ESEUTIL.EXE running (and taking processor usage) while Backup says "Running consistency check for application Exchange" then it apparently is actually still running. It would be REALLY nice if
there was a progress indicator on this step!!!
A progress indicator would be nice, especially since new log files continue to get generated as the check goes on.
Here's how I checked my progress:
Open Resource Monitor (resmon.exe)
Go to the "Disk" tab
expand the "Disk Activity" section
sort by the File column (and expand the column a bit)
you'll see eseutil.exe hitting files looking like \Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy6\Exchange_Log\MailBoxDatabase1.log\E0200005A83.log, E0200005A84.log, E0200005A85.log, etc...
Use calculator to convert those rightmost digits from hex to decimal
Go into the folder with the log files (ex:\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy6\Exchange_Log\MailBoxDatabase1.log\) and find the most recent log file's hex digits and convert that to decimal
We had another team at my company build an Exchange 2010 server this past summer and I just found out that it hadn't been backed up
ever so we're up to 644,000 log files and the server is only moving at 1,312 log files per hour during the consistency check so this could be a 21 day process before the backup even begins.

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.

Can't get OWA to work on Essentials 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 on second server 2012 R2 std.

I have previously with success setup a working solution with server 2012 essentials, and a second server 2012 std. with exchange 2013, I did it following this guide: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200172.aspx
Unfortunately I lost the server due to a cooling error which led to an un-repairable essentials 2012, since this was a new setup and also a test setup I didn't have any working backup solution setup at the time...tsk.tsk.
Since I had to make a complete do over I chose to try out the new R2 server editions, and set it up following the same guide, when it came to this part:
Download KB2732764 for ARR 2.5, and then install the update on the server that is running Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
Copy the SSL certificate file for Exchange Server to the server that is running Windows Server 2012 Essentials. The certificate file must contain the private key, and it must be in the PFX file format.
Note
If you are using a self-issued certificate, follow the instruction in the Exchange Server article Export an Exchange Certificate to export the certificate.
Open a command window as an administrator, and then open the %ProgramFiles%\Windows Server\Bin directory.
Based on you installation scenario, follow one of these steps to configure ARR:
If you are performing a clean setup, run the following command:
ARRConfig config –cert “path to the certificate file” –hostnames “host names for Exchange Server”
I noticed that the version of "Application request routing" had changed to version 3, so obviously I didn't need to dl the 2.5 update.. When I came to the part where I wa instructed to run arrconfig config etc. I noticed
that the ARRconfig file no longer where placed where the setup guide indicated, I then went ahead and tried som manual configuration regarding certificates and such. In the end I have a working solution where Exchange and OWA is working locally but OWA isn't
working outside my local domain, the link get's placed in the RWA and is indicating the correct link for the exchange server www.remote.clinten.dk I have a certificate which include to separate domain names aforementioned and remote.clinten.dk and
I get no errors indicating certificate errors, when I try to connect to www.remote.clinten.dk/owa from outside I get a 404 error, and when I connect to www.remote.clinten.dk I get the RWA login screen for the essentials RWA. Obviously I need to set up something
in ISS probably in the url rewrite section, but I can't seem to find the right setting.. Can someone help with this?
Btw. I have found the missing arrconfig file in c:\windows\system32\essentials" and tried to run the command as described in the guide "ARRConfig config –cert “path to the certificate file” –hostnames “host
names for Exchange Server”" but it doesn't seem to work, it just prompts with a guide for using the arrconfig command and examples of correct use, I also tried removing the "" from the guide, like this "ARRConfig
config –cert path to the certificate file –hostnames host names for Exchange Server",
when I ran it without the "" It didn't prompt me with anything nor did It indicate any errors, it did not however make my OWA work either..
I am aware that exchange 2013 atm. isn't officially supported on the R2 server, but the exchange works fine inside my domain, and the pop3/smtp also works from outside, since this Is a test environment, using only my own private domain and not a company
domain I figured it would be ok to run the risk.. ;)

"Ok just an update for anyone else how has this issue.
The problem has been solved by Microsoft and I have included their findings below, but basically it comes down to a typo!
I often use notepad to have all the commands I need on hand, and I must have copied the command direct from the TechNet article or other website and customised the required fields. The issue with this is one of the characters did not “convert” - for want
of a better word. I should have retyped the whole command from scratch and it would have been right!
Thanks for everyone’s input and for Microsoft for getting to the bottom of it.
From Microsoft:
We have tested on your environment and here is the investigation result from our senior engineer:
================================================================
Basically the command fails due to invalid parameter, the invalid one is the ‘-‘. I think the one customer used is copied from the online document sample which translate to the unicode is 0x8211 means “en dash”, it
can’t be input by normal keyboard, so I pretty sure it is from web (mostly HTML document).
The one we check (compare) is ‘-‘ which has the code 0x45.
So it always failed to compare the parameter and ARRconfig.exe thought it is invalid parameter.
The solution is quite simple, just using keyboard to retype the command, using normal ‘-‘ and I have tried the password prompt shows

Hi ,
I tried a Exchange 2007 SP3 install (over Windows 2008 R2 too) with the same error code message: "Error code
3221685951. Remote procedure call"
It occurs to me:
1-The Schema master is in another site.
2-There are two ISA Servers in between but I shut down the feature "Strict RPC compliance."
Beyond that, I really don't know what to do.

Exchange 2013 - Outlook 2007 - Server name GUID

Hi Guys.
I am hoping someone can shine some light on something for me.
Right now I have the following with roles.
1 x Exchange 2010 - MBX & CAS
1x Exchange 2013 - MBX
1 x Exchange 2013 - CAS
Mix of Outlook 2007 & 2010
I migrated a user from Exchange 2010 over to Exchange 2013 and the process went fine. Email flow is working, OWA and Active Sync again working ok.
However when we opened Outlook 2007 it displayed a message to say an Administrator had made changes and we needed to restart Outlook. No issues there.
Outlook connected up fine and everything works. However when you look in the mail profile for the Exchange server name i see something like
[email protected]
Also Outlook Anywhere is ticked and when you untick it from the client and then open it again it comes back.
Are the above items of migration?

Hi,
RPC is no longer a supported direct access protocol. This means that all Outlook connectivity must take place using RPC over HTTP (also known as Outlook Anywhere).
Outlook clients no longer connect to a server FQDN as they have done in all previous versions of Exchange. Outlook uses Autodiscover to create a new connection point comprised of mailbox GUID, @ symbol, and the domain portion of the user’s primary SMTP
address.
To expand on this a little bit, I worked an issue with a new Exchange 2013 environment for 3 days before figuring out that you do NOT specify a server name where it asks for it in Outlook, you use the format mentioned above.
For reference, I received a very particular error from testconnectivity.microsoft.com that made no sense until I discovered the server name format. If a test fails with a 404 HTTP Not Found error and an X-CasErrorCode of MailboxGuidWithDomainNotFound,
this is most likely your problem. Its very frustrating that Microsoft does not have it documented anywhere exactly what this error means, would have saved me a lot of time and energy.

Can I get rid of Exchange with the new Server just released?

Hi, I saw the new 8 core machine and all the programs. I also recieved an email from Apple telling me about all the calendaring it has.
I want to get rid of Exchange. I have Outlook on 99.9% the clients, however, and they're not going to get rid of Windows or Office any time soon. Will the new server just released and the server software do Exchange server calendaring, scheduling, etc. just like (or better) than Exchange does?
Thanks.

iCalServer uses the new standard CalDAV protocol for calendaring. Exchange uses MS's own proprietary protocols - we do not have those implemented in iCalServer. As a result your existing Outlook users can't use iCalServer right now.
The good news is that there is at least one group working on a plugin for Outlook that will enable access to iCalServer. Whilst this is still alpha quality right now progress is being made, and hopefully in the near future thee will be something usable. See <http://openconnector.org>.
