Finding old exchange contacts

Hi all, first time poster here so please go easy on me I did try searching here but couldn't find anything relevant.
I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 (yes I've been reluctant to upgrade to iOS 8 but will do soon).
Basically my issue is that I'm trying to restore contacts that were saved to my old exchange account (long since deleted/de-activated at my old job 2 years ago..)
The back story is I left my old job June 2013 and I had my iPhone connected to their exchange server but little did I know that any new contacts that I had been saving must have been saved to exchange and not the phone directly (despite my account being disabled.. so I don't know how that happened). When I started a new job last year I decided to connect my iPhone up to their exchange (my old work exchange details had previously been in there, did not delete the account until I connected it to the new work account). As you would imagine.. I lost basically most of my contacts including any contacts that I had saved long after leaving my old job. I managed to get many peoples contacts back but I've just noticed today that Facebook of all things has somehow managed to list many people as suggested friends that I previously had their contact details saved in my phone but no longer due to being deleted with my old exchange account. I double checked and none of their details are saved anywhere currently on my phone so how on earth is Facebook pulling the old contact details to show as a suggested friend?
I would really love to get my old exchange contacts back as there are some contacts I lost that I have no other way of getting in touch with them. I did not realise that deleting my old work exchange account would delete my personal contacts. It seems my contacts default account setting was set to exchange and I've since changed that to Google as I had that set up when I migrated from Android to iPhone all those years back.
Thank you!

I keep finding old contacts on my iPhone even after I delete them off iCloud. What's up? Why do they keep appearing?

Have you cleaned out the dock connector of any fluff or junk in there?

I had a data migration done from old iMac to new iMac, how do I use that file to find my old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

I recently had a data migration from old iMac to new iMac 11.2
How do I use that data file to get old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

FireWire cables are dirt cheap and that's how you should be doing the migration. You might have to start over, wiping the new machine's HD, and restoring the software as described in the Everything Mac manual that came with it. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac for more details.

Exchange 2013 finds an old Exchange 2003 server

We have a new MS Server 2012. We are trying to install Exchange 2013
We migrated from an MS SBS Server 2003. We migrate AD over. The SBS 2003 is no longer on the network.
When I try to install Exchange 2013. I receive an error.
Error:
One or more servers in the existing organization are running Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003. Installation can't proceed until all Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 are removed.
Any and all help is appreciated.

The correct supported method I believe is to ensure that you uninstall the old Exchange server from SBS as part of the migration, before you demote the SBS server and remove it from the domain, otherwise you end up with old records remaining in Active Directory.
If you still have the old SBS server available and it hasn't been demoted then have a look at the steps listed here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg563804.aspx
If that's not possible the other option is to remove the old records via ADSIEdit as detailed here

Exchange Contacts won't sync to Address Book

I configured Lion 10.7.3 to sync mail, contacts, and calendar with my corporate Exchange 2010 server. Mail and iCal sync fine. But Address Book shows a blank Exchange Contacts list. The Mail app Show Addresses dialog also shows a blank Exchange Contacts list. I have no problems syncing 450+ Exchange Contacts to other devices including iPhone. I tried deselecting and re-selecting Exchange Contacts in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Exchange. Same results, blank Exchange Contacts list.
Console Diagnostic and Usage Messages shows several incidents of this message. This might be normal. I see similar entries for iCal, which sync'd fine.
4/30/12 10:31:02.523 PM Address Book: EWSServerVersion: 14.1.355.2

System.log does show this iCal error. SImilar reports in old forum posts describe problems with iCal handling recurring calendar events. This problem is hopefully unrelated to the blank Exchange Contacts list.

How can I resolve this problem?

I notice exactly the same problem: perfect sync with Mail and iCal; no sync on Addressbook.
However, the problem can be ring-fenced a bit better:
1. sync works fine for "contacts" or "suggested contacts" one introduces in a personal contacts part of the outlook addressbook.
2. What does "apparently" not function, is the sync with the "<corporate> global addresslist": the global addresslist as a category does appear in the apple addressbook, but it's content remains blank.
3. What does work, is to select the "<corporate> address list" in the Apple addressbook, and then do a search on a name. On that moment, the name gets filled in the list of the "<corporate> global addresslist", and clicking on that record provides the detail of the address card.
Conclusion: some sync-ing takes place, but there seems to be something blocking the immediate visualisation of the "<corporate> global addresslist"
Any idea why the list does not appear ?

How do I install a new Exchange account with the same address as my old Exchange account and have my bcc mail not go to the old account?

I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and an iPad, up to date. I have recently changed my mail server but not my email address. My "old" mail account is an Exchange account and I have also set up a "new" Exchange account with the same address but with the new mail server details. When I receive outside, third party emails they are routed correctly to the "new" Exchange account but when I bcc myself or receive other emails from any account with my domain name the emails are routed to my "old" Exchange account. I have changed the default account settings to the "new" Exchange account. Also, if I send myself an email from my laptop, through the new mail service provider, it is routed correctly on my laptop but incorrectly on my iPhone and iPad. It appears as though the Apple products have cached my email address and routing and won't look to pick up the new mail server details. I don't see anything in the mail account settings or contacts that allows me to refresh or clear the cache. The result is I now have mail in 2 accounts. If I can get the misdirected mail from the odl account to the new one I will then make the old account inactive. Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance for your time and ideas,
DAA

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

How can I delete an old exchange email account

I have a new iPad Air. I restored it from a backup of my old iPad 3. My work exchange email account came with it but does not work. When I followed the procedures my work support provided I found a new email account was created with the same name. I tried to delete the old exchange account but there is no DELETE option. I checked and I have no restrictions enabled. I was able to make the old exchange account inactive by turning off mail/contacts/calendar/reminders.
Please advise on how to delete this account.
Thanks in advance
Environment:
IOS 7.0.3
iPad Air 128GB WiFi only

Brendan, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately neither of these helped. There are no checkboxes ticked for Safari (and I only use Firefox, generally) and I am able to sign in after signing off. But when I go to sign in here I get the [email protected] filled in as in the attached. And I have been using [email protected] as my defsult email and also my Apple ID user name since before there was an iCloud. So what now?

How to sync up apple contact book and exchange contacts

I have a bunch of contacts in my Apple Contact book but am using Outlook for Mac 2011 for email, contact management, and calendar. I have read that you have to sync your Apple contact book to your exchange account rather than directly to the Outlook for Mac 2011 programs so you don't create duplicates (contacts coming from the Apple address book AND the Exchange server). However, I can't find anything that tells me how to sync the Apple Contacts with my Exchange account. I figure at that point once synced, my exchange account will push the new contacts from the Apple Contact book back into Outlook for Mac 2011 making everything whole.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

itsamacthing,
Thanks for the quick response. I do have the exchange service added and am only bringing the contacts down from the exchange side into the Contacts portion (not syncing mail, calendar, etc). It has seemed to create two different "sections' in the Apple Contacts Address book (Please see screenshot). I was hoping to somehow merge/sync these two so I am always working out of one directory. When I create a contact in my Outlook for Mac 2011 it dumps it in the "Exchange" section and up to my Exchange server. However, when I create one on my iphone and sync the phone with this system via usb cable, it puts all new contacts created in the "On My Mac" section thus not moving it to my Exchange or Outlook for Mac 2011 causing new contacts to only sync with different sections based on where they were created.
(As a side note, I have to sync via the firewire cable due to having over 10,000 contacts. There was an issue with the previous release of IOS that caused massive problems with syncing over the air with that many contacts. I've never fully recovered and have not had the hard to do over the air syncing again, hence the tethered sync).
If there is anything I can do to get this rolled into one Address book that syncs from phone all the way through to Exchange server, I would appreciate any additional direction. I've also included a second screen shot to show the difference between the Exchange contacts total (10,660) and the All on my Mac contacts total (10,774). Ideally they would both say 10,774.
Thank you again.

Exchange 2010 transfer of the license and uninstall old Exchange

Hello everyone,
I had some problems with my old Exchange 2010 as it was freezing from time to time. I decided to install a new Exchang 2010 server. I transferred mailboxes, MX record stays the same and I routed all e-mails to the new server now. I disconnected other server
from the network to test is everything working fine and so far so good.
My bigger concerns are following now:
a) how to transfer license as I wanna use the same license key which old server uses.
b) How to Uninstall old Exchange 2010 server.
In regards to license transfer I don't want to get to the point where I am going to get message that I used the same license key on another server. Do I have to deactivate license on the old server? How do I do that. Maybe uninstallation of it will send
a signal to Microsoft that license is gone. Has anyone come across this kind of issue? So what do you think should I uninstall old server first before I enter this license?
In regards to my second question which is related to the first one. How do I properly remove old Exchange 2010 server. I found some instructions that I should just go to "programs and features" and uninstall it this way or run a setup from CD.
Other instructions says that I should uninstall database over power shell and uninstall public folders etc. I would like to do it as clean as possible as I don't want my new exchange or any of DCs to look for missing Exchange later. Which option properly uninstalls
Exchange 2010 from my domain and from AD. I wanted to add that my Exchange2010 are on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I just wanted to add that I phoned Microsoft to ask about it but they said that I have to pay for support otherwise they can't help me. What would you do first? license or uinstallation of old Exchange 2010? I still have over 100 days of trial on new build
server.

Hi,
1. Arbitration mailbox is used to store organization-wide data such as administrator audit logs, metadata for eDiscovery searches, and Unified Messaging data. To avoid more issues, we recommend to move the mailboxes. And here is a reference about how to
move arbitration mailboxes:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3912.exchange-2010-how-to-delete-the-first-database-and-move-the-system-mailboxes.aspx
2. If the public folders won’t be used in the new environment, we don’t need to move them.
3. For the issue whether the license can be used twice, we recommend you to contact with Microsoft Customer Service to confirm.
4. By default, when Exchange 2010 is installed, OAB is created in the default internal Web site in Internet Information Services (IIS).

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

HT204053 how do i copy all my exchange contacts to icloud.

How do i copy my exchange contacts from my iphone to icloud

Hi,
This has been an issue for a lot of people lately, including myself.
I personally prefer to have my contacts saved on apple's servers rather than microsoft's especially since I'm now using several apple devices.
I couldn't find any answers to this on the web, except exporting-importing manually each contact.
Worked that out by myself for a few hours and found this way of doing it "automatically" without the need of a computer, your iDevice will suffice!
Step 1 : have your windows live/exchange contacts synced on the idevice.
Step 2 : Install the Free application "My Contacts Backup" from the AppStore and make a backup.
Step 3 : Send the backup file to yourself via Email.
Step 4 : Make sure that the default contacts account on your iDevice is iCloud in "Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calender - Contacts - default account"
Step 5 : Open the backup file in the mail from the idevice and install all contacts.
Step 6 : Disable the contacts sync function of Exchange in "Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calender - your Echange Account name" if you do not want to have both in your contacts list. This will automatically delete all contacts on the iDevice from your Exchange account.
And Voila! Hope this will help a lot of people

HT5058 How do I get the icloud contacts information moved over to the exchange contacts?

How do I get my icloud contacts on my iphone moved into my exchange contacts at work? I have originally uploaded the contacts from my personal blackberry to the iphone then later we got exchange setup. How do I get the contacts from icloud loaded into exchange? I have access to them on the phone but not on my outlook exchange at my work computer.

TS4147 my exchange contacts are not backing upon icloud

If your Exchange contacts are still in Outlook export them, then import them to the iCloud account. You can't 'sync' the accounts.

IOS6 sync with Exchange Contact

Today, I just upgrade my 4S into IOS 6, unfortunately I look that my iPhone sync with Exchange Contact has problem, I have around 5xx records in my address book. However, IOS6 only can sync 42 records into my phone.
After I found this problem, I have tried to reset into factory setting, erase all content and settings in my iphone, it also can sync 42 records.
I am using Exchange Online, so I try import my contact into Gmail and try to sync with Google Exchange. And it only can sync 42 records only.
My ipad@IOS 5.1.1 is perfect to sync with Exchange, My [email protected] and [email protected] also haven't any problem, also my **** Galaxy S3 still can use (although it always shows sign-in failed).
Does anyone has any idea to fix this problem.
Best Regards,
Leo

HT1692 After synching, I updated to newer version of iTunes. I do not have contacts on my phone - but I have all the messages and photos there still. How do I find my missing contacts?

After synching, I updated to newer version of iTunes. I do not have contacts on my phone - but I have all the messages and photos there still. How do I find my missing contacts?

Still no success.
My problem, in part, is that I have 2 iphones. I transferred one to another computer that now syncs with iCloud. The other phone I was updating today on my old computer. It was recognised by iTunes, and automatically synched. Then I updated it to a newer version of iTunes, and lost my contacts on that iPhone. I have trawled to Windows Contacts but to no avail.
