Failed Exchange Server Sync Question

Hi all my exchange server has failed so had to replace it which I have now done but im unsure about the phones. All the users phones still have the contacts and emails on but there Outlooks are effectly blank.
If I sync the phones will I loose all the info on the phone as it will sync with the blank mailbox or will it copy all the items from the phone to the mailbox?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Mailboxes and email are completely separate from contacts.
When a connection is reestablished with the Exchange Server, if the same messages on the iPhone that are available in what was the server stored mailboxes with the server that failed are not available with the new server - no backup of the server that failed is available, all messages on the iPhone will be lost. What is available at the server takes priority in this situation.
The same applies to contacts.

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.

Corporate Corporate Exchange server sync contact issue

Corporate Corporate Exchange server sync procedure works as it should except : When I go to Contact Groups menu all of my contacts from the exchange server are now at the top, in the 'Not Assigned' area. For normal contact use this does not seem to be a problem for phone or email. But when I try to set up a group, under 'Corporate', only a random couple of the 671 contacts are available. How can I do a sync so that the contacts appear under 'Corporate' or 'Phone', when in the Group menu, or move them down to this area?
Thanks in advance for help,

I ended up using the column view trick. Column view -> sort by email address -> click & delete every "[No email address found]" entry. In my experience, I've found that just putting in the digital elbow grease takes less time than using things like scripting.
I'm just sad that these things don't get designed well to begin with. I've got other very basic gripes about the Pre. I'm told it works much better with a Google account. I'd love to jump on that bandwagon, but work is using Exchange. You simply must must must work with Exchange sever since so many big corporations have drunk Bill Gates' Koolaid. But to provide buggy Exchange compatibility is risky, even moreso when your company's future depends on the success of your current device.
Palm is clearly getting into bed with Google at the expense of Microsoft. I suppose that's the way I'd go too, but for the time, Palm's buggy Exchange support sets up RIM to keep running the table with Blackberrys. If they had just done Exchange right, they would have double the sales they have now, and Apple and RIM would really have something to worry about.

Get contacts of iPhone (Exchange server sync)

Hi,
I recently left my old job to start a new one. I have my iPhone setup to syncronize all my emails, contacts and calendars with my old companys Exchange server.
My account on their Exchange server has now been disabled and I no longer have access to my old work PC to export my contacts as a PST.
How can I get my contacts of my iPhone (must be cached I guess) onto my PC so that I can add them onto my local copy of Outlook and then setup my iPhone to syncronize from my personal laptop?
Best Regards
Fredrik

No way that I'm aware of, which is how most companies that provide an Exchange account want it. There is not a way to sync contacts being synced over the air direct with a supported address book application on your computer via the iTunes sync process.
You can check if the Exchange contacts synced over the air are available with your iPhone's backup on your computer which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are a number of utilities that provide for extracting select data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer. Here is one.

N70 Exchange Server Sync

Hi,
I read that Nokia have licensed Activesync to allow business users (e.g. Me) to sync their N70 devices with an MS Exchange Server. Does anyone know what the status is of this? All I can find on Nokia.co.uk is a year-old press release...
In the interim, does anyone know how I can sync my N70 with Exchange?
Thanks in advance...
neil

Nokia has, indeed, licensed the ActiveSync technology to talk directly to Exchange servers. However, no phones with support for it has been released by Nokia yet (in any case, I would look for that support to first appear in Eseries devices like the E61 or E70).
In the meanwhile, you can synchronize with an Exchange server through a local synch with a PC (Outlook) using PC Suite:
http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
A remote (over-the-air, OTA) synchronization is also possible, if you have a, so called, SyncML Server connected to/with your Exchange server.
DataViz is also adding support for S60 devices (like the N70) for their RoadSync product:
http://www.dataviz.com/solutions/enterprise/roadsync/supported_devices.html
Nokia Business Center also allows Exchange server connectivity OTA:

Steps to restore a failed exchange server 2003

If I have a recently taken full backup of my failed server what are the steps to restore it.
I mean, After installing OS, then may I have to create the domain or restoring full backup creates domain automatically?

Hi,
Firstly, I’d like to explain, if you want install the Exchange server on the server you have installed OS, I recommend you just add the server into domain and create the domain on another server. Because it’s not recommended to install Exchange sever on
DC:

Exchange Server Sync issues...

Hi folks,
I have a problem that has been discussed in abundance right now. How ever, I dare posting it because none of the methods described have helped me to get the exchange stuff running.
I have an iPhone 16 GB 3G with 347 firmware.
An iMac 2,8 Ghz with 10.5.4. and Entourage
A MacBook 1,83 with 10.5.4. and Entourage
An HTC Kaiser with WindowsMobile 6.1 professional
A Dell Vostro1710 with Windows XP Pro SP2
On all those devices I can access and work with the SBS2003 Exchange Server, except for, drums please: the iPhone.
As I am at the same time the admin of our little Network, I would be able to change all settings, but still I can't get it done. Information so far:
OWA: https://mail.mycompany.com/exchange
Server: mail.mycompany.com
e-mail: [email protected]
User: Rene
Password: gofigure
Domain: mycompany.local
No SSL or other certificates employed.
When I set up the account and enter the information above, a window comes up saying that the certificates on this page could not be verified. I accept this window. Then comes the Dialogue asking for the server, which I enter as above. Then the same window comes up again stating that the certificates could not be verified and again I accept.
Then it says "Account verified" and shows me the choices what I would like to sync with Exchange. As of now I would be happy if it only did e-mail (and I don't want to mess up my main calendar on MobileMe), so I unselect the others.
I click on save and switch to the mail app, which is: right, empty...
It makes no difference if I enter the Username with or without the domain as indicated in gray. It just won't work.
What am I missing here? Since there are apparently plenty of users who can get it to work... And I am now trying for the umpteenth time that even my patience is coming to an End.
Cheers,
Rene

Hi guys,
I, too, am NOT a tech guy though I do administrate a bunch of different networks. I've been reading these forums for the past week or so and are also trying to connect my iPhone 1st gen. to our Exchange server. I haven't succeeded yet but if we put our heads together I think we can accomplish this
First, let's get the details on the "table"
My setup is like follows:
- Single server setup (Windows 2003 Standard SP2 / Exchange 2003 SP2)
- OWA enabled (SSL by GoDaddy)
- Active Sync (supposedly working)
- Firewallports opened and NAT configured accordingly
As to my knowledge there seems to be NO "straight-forward" way of configuring an Exchange server, hence all the different setups we've seen on these forums. Something works for some people and some things does not.
Now, for the details we have to put in in the on-screen guide (on the iPhone) the following applies to me (at least I think so):
E-mail: [email protected]
User: domain\loginname *
Password: myPassword
Server-name-field now present and:
Server: company.com (<-- No HTTP or HTTPS) **
+* Domain name is "something.local" but I've read somewhere that we should use the NETBIOS name. Can't back it up though since I forgot the link.
** I've read more than one place that the server name is the "Active Sync Server" and NOT the OWA (like Entourage) or the FQDN like Outlook+
When entering all of these details I STILL have nothing showing up anywhere (in mail, calendar or contacts). But I see no errors or warnings of any kind.
I've tried to add a new virtual directory in IIS and edit the reg-base ((with no luck) - I've tried to setup the correct permissions on the different virtual directories in IIS (and with no luck). I do, however, think THIS is where the "gold" might be - a good place to start. Permissions of the virtual directories on the ISS.
What do you guys think?

Exchange Server - Security Questions

Concerning the transport and storage of e-mails, etc. in a stock Exchange 2007 server installation (ie no security plugins/additional software installed).
1). Is the data passed between client (Outlook/iPhone, etc) and the server sent in an encrypted manner? (TLS by default, right?)
2). When the data is committed to the Exchange database, is it stored in a protected manner?
The scenario I'm trying to protect against is a hacker either pulling data off the wire or (more likely) actually able to take over a client workstation (via malware/trojan, etc) and then somehow (not through Outlook) access the Exchange Server's data.
What could the hacker easily/quickly access?

Hi Kevin,
Great information from Martin.

FRG22D Breaks Exchange Server Sync!

Ok so after FRG22D I can no longer connect to exchange or for that matter even set it up again. System FC on setup. So I called motorola and they told me it was a certerficate issue and would need to be patched but they had no ETA nor did they commit to doing anything about it.
Verizon told me to take the phone to the store and roll back the update. But the store has no way of doing so. So at the moment the only options seem to be the crapy app touch down and pay 20 bucks for it or the slightly better working but REALLY slow roadsync to get my work email and calendar. Who do we need to call at verizon to preasure them to get moto working on this asap?

Surely there are other devices on your company exchange with the capability to use the SD card.

4.4 Update on Maxx breaks Exchange Server sync

Updated the Droid Maxx that I got for work.
Problem is, there's a "security update" that was needed - specifically a corporate requirement for SD card encryption.
Problem is, there's no SD card for this phone.
Corporate will NOT change policy due to legal reasons, especially since other phones still use SD cards.

Corporate Sync on Droid 3 will not connect to my exchange server

My previous phone (droid x with 2.3.3) connected to exchange. new droid 3 (with version 2.3.4) will not connect to exchange. anyone know if a fix is in the works?

Hello!
Your problem is perhaps is being caused by your Exchanges SSL certificate being "self-signed". Droid version 2.3.4 does not play nice with email servers that do not have third party certificates installed and if your Excvhange server is Exchange 2010 then this will be especially true. I had this problem with my phone and if spilled over into issues connecting not just with ActiveSync but with IMAP and POP regarding the Exchange server in question. I run my own Exchange so I went ahead and purchased a third party cert, installed it and all was well. I wrote a shor blog about it here: http://sharkpc.blogspot.com/2011/08/fyi-microsoft-exchange-activesync-imap.html
If you are not in control administrativly of your messaging environment then I would say that your only current work around would be to use an app like "Touchdown". You can get it free in the Android market for a 30 day trial and then you would have to pay after that. It has a pretty decent feel to it. However If in a corporate environment, the 3rd party SSL is the way to go! Hope this helps and enjoy your Droid 3!

Cannot connect to Exchange server (Small Business Server 2008) using Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013

I am at my wits end. I have got a new PC running Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 simply WILL NOT connect to my work Exchange server. The REALLY annoying thing is that the Windows Mail client inbuilt to Windows 8.1 works perfectly! But I have to have Outlook
for the functionality. The issue appears to be that in Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1, it tries to be clever and auto-detect the settings whereas Windows Mail allows you to input the server and domain names.
I have tried all the suggestions already on some of the boards - manual setup, etc - nothing works! Is it a compatibilityissue with SBS 2008 and Outlook 2013? Any help appreciated!

There's no issue with O'2013 connecting with Ex '2007. Also not clear about comments of "auto-detect" versus "....have tried all the suggestions ............ manual setup....". On the one hand your stating that only "auto-detect" is available and on the
other that you've tried "manual settings" (which definitely is an option in O'2013 for EX accounts).
This may have more to do with the fact that you're using a new computer trying to connect to the server which it may not be configured for - something your admin will need to address.
Given that your question is in reference to Exchange - you are likely to get a better/faster answer in the following forum which deals with Exchange server related questions:

ACT! to Outlook to Exchange Server?

I want to sync my company contacts, which are in ACT! to my exchange server synced Outlook on my Pre. It appears very easy to set sync preferences in ACT! to Outlook. I currrently sync Outlook contacts and email to my Pre with no issues through our exchange server. Does anyone have experience or suggestions? It seems too easy!! I've scheduled my first sync from ACT! to Outlook for late tonight. Thanks for you insights and ideas.

Have you searched the Android Market place? There could be an application that you could download from the Android Application Market. Keep in mind since it's a 3rd party application it's not supported by Verizon Wireless.
Hope this helps!

Daily Problems with Mail Synchronizing with Exchange Server

Our office uses Comcast Business Class Service, which uses 2007 Exchange Servers, for internet access and email. I upgraded my MacPro from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.2, using the Upgrade DVD. The upgrade process kept my original Leopard Mail settings, which were using POP. At that time, I had not problems with email.
Unfortunately, awhile ago my Mail Preferences became corrupt, and I had to delete them. Upon relaunching Mail, the application wanted to use the new Autosync method to connect to the Comcast Exchange Server. Using POP was not an option.
I must say that I am less than impressed with the way Mail integrates with Exchange Servers. I have daily problems, and experience these problems multiple times per day. When they happen, they slow my email communication down to a crawl; sometimes for as much as an hour.
Specifically, the problem appears to be with Mail's ability (or inability) to properly synchronize with Exchange Servers. I get he spinning pizza icons next to the two Exchange email accounts I have in my Mailboxes source column. Opening the Activity window shows that the synchronizing process has slowed everything down. This results in not being able to send or receive email until the synchronizing is complete. And as I said, that can sometimes take as long as an hour.
Stopping the process in the Activity window does not resolve the issue. Nor does quitting and relaunching Mail. Because the next time Mail attempts to connect to the Exchange Server, it will try to synchronize yet again. The problem has become so chronic, that I often have to resort to using Webmail while waiting of the synchronizing process to complete.
Incidentally, the mailboxes that are synchronizing are empty! I am meticulous about keeping my Inbox, Sent, Drafts, and Trash mailboxes empty at all times. I do not use To-Do's, Notes, or Calendars of any kind on the Exchange Server, so there is no data to even sync!
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix? Other email accounts I have, which use POP or IMAP, do not have this issue. There does not appear to be away to abandon the Autosync Mail setup and revert back to POP. If there is, I will do it in a heartbeat.
Thanks.

Found a solution that works for me. Delete the problem account that's using AutoDiscover to sync with the exchange server. Before doing that, however, you will want to clear out the Inbox, Sent and even Trash folder for that account, as deleting it will remove the messages that currently reside in those folders. Just simply move them to another folder. You can move them back after re-creating the account.
The second step is to re-create the account. Do this as you would normally, and enter in your name, username and password. THE TRICK: Press and hold the Option key when you click Continue. After Mail connects to the server and verifies your account information, you will then have a pull down menu that will allow you to choose Exchange Server, IMAP and POP. Simply select POP or IMAP, then fill out the rest of the fields.
Viola! No more problematic Exchange Server syncing issues.

Sync of reminders with Exchange server fails

I can't synchronize my OS X Reminders with my Exchange server. I get the following message in Calendar when syncing :
Calendar can't refresh reminders in the calendar "Tasks"
And in the OS X Console, I see these 2 messages (I guess the first one is the root cause of the issue, the second one is just a notification that the sync failed ):
02.03.14 14:24:31.810 CalendarAgent[210]: -[SOAPParser:0x7fd30899aae0 parser:didStartElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName:attributes:] Type not found in EWSTaskRecurrenceType for WeeklyRegeneration (t:WeeklyRegeneration)
02.03.14 14:24:31.812 CalendarAgent[210]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.exchange] [Exchange error Calendar can’t refresh reminders in the calendar “Tasks”. There was an error attempting to send your changes to the exchange server. (Error Domain=SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain Code=-997 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain error -997.)")]
I have had this problem for a few months, and it still exists with 10.9.2 ; the sync used to work sometimes, but not anymore.
I guess the error comes from one reminder on the server which has complex recurrence rule.
