Hosted Exchnage 2003 to Hosted Exchnage 2013 migration

Hi All,
I am planning to migrate my multi-tenant Exchange server 2003 to 2013. Any guidance is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vinu

Hi,
If your are looking to upgrade exchange 2003 to Exchange 2013, you’ll need to do an interim
upgrade to Exchange 2010 (or 2007) first. I recommend an upgrade to Exchange 2010 instead of 2007.Because exchange 2003 is not supported co-existence with exchange 2013.
Please refer to the following article:
Upgrading to Exchange Server 2013
Supported Co-Existence Scenarios for Exchange 2013
Exchange Server 2013 CU1 or later (not RTM) will support co-existence with the following versions:
Exchange Server 2010 SP3
Exchange Server 2007 SP3 + update rollup 10
Thanks.

Migration; Exchange 2003 SP2 to Exchange 2013 on new Domain and DC

I wasn't prepared for this task, and it was thrown at me to do... Eyes are bleeding from planning reading and planning, would LOVE any input from you guys. First time posting, here and have heard great things about these forums. The Company
I work for obtained a new client and a network that is in a cluster at the moment, so I'm having to dig through everything and restructure..
Scenario:
Old Domain/Server: (To be decommissioned)
Server 2003 Standard SP2 (Domain: cosco.com; NETBIOS name: coscoex)
Exchange 2003 SP2 (6.5.7638.1)
Server is a domain controller and exchange server.
Migrating to:
Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (New Domain ad.cosco.com; NETBIOS name: cosco)
VM #1: Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller at 2012 R2 Functionality
VM #2: Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 Standard (Not Yet Installed) Joined to ad.cosco.com domain
VM #3: Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2010 (Not Yet Installed) joined to ad.cosco.com domain
These are probably not ideal conditions, but I have to work with what I'm given.
Host server (2012 R2) is in work group mode. Hyper V Installed with a VM of Server 2012 R2 and as a DC at a functionality level of Server 2012 R2. I had intended starting at a lower functionality level and raising
it later, but.... ya I forgot to change it. If needed I can spool up a new DC with a lower functional level.
DNS, AD and group policy is all jacked up on the 2003 DC so that doesn't matter, All user accounts are going to be created under the new domain. The concern is migrating the mailboxes from Exchange 2003 on the old domain to
Exchange 2013 on the new domain. The client is going to provide CSV of the AD accounts that are still valid (a lot of accounts are no longer used or are from people that no longer with the organization.)
I had some ideas, but I'm not sure if they will work. This is something I have never done before (Senior Engineer Quit).
My thoughts:
- Establish a two way trust relationship between the two domains.
- Create two VM's, one with Exchange 2010 and one with Exchange 2013 (They have a 2010 licence that was not used).
- Create the users on the new domain
- Use the double hop method from Exchange 2003 > Exchange 2010 > Exchange 2013
- Link Exchange accounts to the correct user accounts on the new DC.
Can this be done cleanly? Am I going about this the correct way? Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.
Note: We are forced to use ad.cosco.com (Obviously not the actual domain name)

Hi,
Base on my experience, your idea is feasible.
However, before getting started, you should note that Exchange 2010 (with any service pack or update rollups) is not (yet) supported to install on Windows 2012 R2. More details refer to the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
After all the preparations complete, you can refer to the following articles to migration exchange 2003 to 2010, then to 2013:

Namespace for Exchange 2003 == 2010 == 2013 Migration

Hi
Hope someone can help. I am working on an Exchange 2003 to 2010 migration, which will then quickly move onto a 2010 to 2013 migration and need some clarification on the namespaces to use. I am aware that if I do not do this right at the 2003
to 2010 migration, this will cause a headache at the 2010 to 2013 migration.
Some background:
2003 Functional Level Domain - 2 x 2008 DC's
Currently users are on a 2003 exchange cluster with a mix of RPC (internal users) and RPC over HTTP connections (roaming users)
We will be installing Exchange 2010 on a single server, with CAS, HUB and Mailbox roles and no load balancer, as we will be moving quickly to 2013.
We have two Kemp load balancers ready for Exchange 2013.
Exchange 2010 is installed on a single server (exh2010.domain.local) and configured with an CAS array name (exh-cas.domain.local) which is resolvable internally only.
Currently we have multiple smtp namespaces e.g. @company.com, @company2.com.
Our main website etc is www.company.com
Our public facing services are at https://service.mycompany.com
Our 2003 RPC address is https://webmail.mycompany.com
I understand that the 2010 RPC CAS array name should be separated from the Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTPS) address so that when 2013 takes over the HTTPS address, the RPC connections are not broken.
Two Questions:
Do we have to use the HTTPS same namespace for 2013 as we do in 2010? Its just I would want to test the Kemp load balancers before making them live (slow careful transition), and giving them a different namespace, e.g.
https://mail.mycompany.com would allow a migration, rather then a cutover.
Can we use the *.mycompany.com address rather then the company.com address, even though we have no SMTP addresses at mycompany.com? Can autodiscover still work?
Thanks in advance for any guidance
Cheers
Steve

1. No, but you can. Exchange 2013 will proxy all services for Exchange 2010, so if you set up everything right, you should be able to simply swing the name from Exchange 2010 to 2013.
2. Your web services can be published with any domain as long as the hostname is in the certificate. Only Autodiscover needs to match the e-mail domain(s). So in your example, you could publish OWA, ECP, ActiveSync, Web Services and OAB
at owa.mycompany.com. You would need autodiscover.company.com, autodiscover.company2.com, etc., but if you don't have e-mail addresses with mycompany.com, you don't need autodiscover.mycompany.com. If all users have a company.com e-mail address,
the you only need autodiscover.company.com as long as users know to enter that e-mail address when configuring profiles on PCs or devices. If you're going to have to have Autodiscover for multiple domains, then you might consider using an SRV record
instead because it can greatly simplify your certificate requirements.

2007 SP3 to 2013 Migration - Public Folders Migration (-2147467259)

Hi Guys
I'm currently undertaking an Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2013 migration, and all has been going swimmingly so far. We've moved all mailboxes across and are at the final stages and just want to move the public folders across.
I've been following the instructions in: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx this article, and we have gotten up to stage 5 (Start
the Migration Request). The process gets around 20% of the way through, and from what we can tell seems to migrate all content from PF folders, however it then stops. I've posted an extract of the log below, which should show you the error we're
currently getting (it tries then exhausts retries & stops).

I've attempted to find some solutions, and searching for the respective error codes has suggested a couple of ideas, such as not being a PF Admin (checked), resource issues on source/destination servers (checked, and restarted for good measure), I saw mention
of a problem with NETBIOS resolution so added the source server into the host files (checked).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Lync 2010 to 2013 Migration DB issue, central management database.

Hello ,
During Lync 2010 to 2013 migration , on my back end database for Lync 2013 I previously created there data base instances on my lync 2013 BE , (RTC,MON, ARC) THERE DIFFERENT ISTNACE using sql server enterprise 2012 .
Now I want to finish the migration by moving the central management server to the lync server 2013.
my question now I tried to create a new DB instance and I face some issue related the space on the server .
can I use any of the existing isnatce which I created before for the (RTC,MON, ARC) or can I sue the default instance which is created by default with sql 2012 server installation .to install the central management database.
do I need a spate instance ? for the new central management store on my lync server 2013
Thanks
MK

Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 Migration and Architect a resilient and high availability exchange setup

Hi,
I currently have a single Exchange 2010 Server that has all the roles supporting about 500 users. I plan to upgrade to 2013 and move to a four server HA Exchange setup (a CAS array with 2 Server as CAS servers and one DAG with 2 mailbox Servers). My
goal is to plan out the transition in steps with no downtime. Email is most critical with my company.
Exchange 2010 is running SP3 on a Windows Server 2010 and a Separate Server as archive. In the new setup, rather than having a separate server for archiving, I am just going to put that on a separate partition.
Here is what I have planned so far.
1. Build out four Servers. 2 CAS and 2 Mailbox Servers. Mailbox Servers have 4 partitions each. One for OS. Second for DB. Third for Logs and Fourth for Archives.
2. Prepare AD for exchange 2013.
3. Install Exchange roles. CAS on two servers and mailbox on 2 servers. Add a DAG. Someone had suggested to me to use an odd number so 3 or 5. Is that a requirement?
4. I am using a third party load balancer for CAS array instead of NLB so I will be setting up that.
5. Do post install to ready up the new CAS. While doing this, can i use the same parameters as assigned on exchange 2010 like can i use the webmail URL for outlook anywhere, OAB etc.
6. Once this is done. I plan to move a few mailboxes as test to the new mailbox servers or DAG.
7. Testing outlook setups on new servers. inbound and outbound email tests.
once this is done, I can migrate over and point all my MX records to the new servers.
Please let me know your thoughts and what am I missing. I like to solidify a flowchart of all steps that I need to do before I start the migration.
thank you for your help in advance

Hi,
okay, you can use 4 virtual servers. But there is no need to deploy dedicated server roles (CAS + MBX). It is better to deploy multi-role Exchange servers, also virtual! You could install 2 multi-role servers and if the company growths, install another multi-role,
and so on. It's much more simpler, better and less expensive.
CAS-Array is only an Active Directory object, nothing more. The load balancer controls the sessions on which CAS the user will terminate. You can read more at
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2014/03/05/load-balancing-in-exchange-2013.aspx Also there is no session affinity required.
First, build the complete Exchange 2013 architecture. High availability for your data is a DAG and for your CAS you use a load balancer.
On channel 9 there is many stuff from MEC:

Exchange 2007 to 2013 Migration issues. Prompt for credentials, Public Folders inaccessible, Apps not working

Exchange 2013 Migration issues
I have three issues and decided to list them here. Please pick and choose to assist. Thanks in advance.
Environment:
Mixed 2007 SP3 R12 and 2013 CU3. 2007 Environment was webmail.domain.com. I installed new Exchange 2013 (1 CAS, 1 Mailbox) according to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805032(v=exchg.150).aspx. Exchange 2007 is now legacy.domain.com and Exchange 2013 CAS is webmail.domain.com.
Machine 1: Windows 8.1, not domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere external. Outlook 2013
Machine 2: Windows 7, domain joined, using Outlook Anywhere internal. Outlook 2010 SP2
I have migrated 1 user so far to Exchange 2013. This user was a Domain Admin. I have removed that membership. I checked the box to inherit permissions of the security of the object and reset the AdminCount attribute in ADSIedit to 0 and verified this replicated
to all domain controllers. ( I originally thought this to be the issue with it prompting for the password. )

ISSUE 1
Issue: On Machine 1 (reference above) Windows Security prompt that says "Connecting to
[email protected]". Almost always prompts when Outlook is first opened. Afterwards (if it goes away) seemingly random on when it asks for it. I put in the credentials (absolutely correct) and it fails and prompts again.
I always check the box for it to save the password. To get rid of it, I click the Cancel button at which Outlook reports "NEED PASSWORD", but still acts fine sending and receiving emails. Eventually the "NEED PASSWORD" sometimes changes
to say "CONNECTED", but it works regardless.
No issues on Machine 2 so I don't know where the problem might be as there are a lot of variables in play here.
ISSUE 2
Migrated user is unable to open Public folders from Exchange 2007.
Cannot expan the folder. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance. (/o=...).
This error occurs on Machine 1, Machine 2 and from OWA, same error each time.
ISSUE 3
Apps. Installed by default are 4 apps (Bing Maps, Suggested Meetings, Unsubscribe, Action Items). I have made sure the apps are enabled in OWA and they show up in mail items on both Machine 1 (Outlook 2013) and OWA. They do not show up in Machine 2 (Outlook
2010). I'm assuming that isn't supported.
In OWA, when I go to the installed apps listing it shows all of the apps but has a broken link on the image describing the app.
When I click the app in either Outlook 2013 or in OWA, I get "APP ERROR, Sorry we can't load the app. Please make sure you have network and/or internet connectivity. Click "Retry" once you're back online.
Current workaround is just disabling them through OWA.

Hello,
In order to avoid confusion, we troubleshoot a issue per thread usually.
For your first isue, I agree with Ed's suggestion to check if your certificate name is correct.
Besides, I recommend you change ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod from Basic authentication to Negotiate authentication to check the result.

Webutil equivalent of host(cmd,no_screen) and host(cmd,screen) builtins

Hi,
What's the webutil command equivalent to host(cmd,no_screen) & host(cmd,screen)? Host builtin can be used only in windows platform, but to make it common across all platforms, webutil_host is needed. So, if no_screen parameter is used, what can be used in webutil to make it work as the host command with no_screen option.
Thanks in advance,
Natraj.

I know this thread is old, but I figured I would contribute this in case anyone is still looking for an answer:

It is third-party code, but it appears to do just what it claims to.

Exchange 2010 to 2013 Migration: Authentication/Proxy Settings Issue

I'm in the final stages of preparing for our Exchange 2010 to 2013 migration. I'm noticing minor authentication issues on mobile devices (android & ios) and proxy setting issues with Outlook that require user intervention. In an effort to make the migration
as smooth as possible for our internal users, I'd like to get these settings ironed out before starting the migration.
Symptoms:
Outlook - I'm aware that internal Outlook usage has changed its connection protocol from RCP/TCP to RCP/HTTP, but it appears that Outlook isn't updating its settings in the "Microsoft Exchange Proxy Settings" after a users mailbox has been migrated
from 2010 to 2013. Currently, 2010 users with Outlook 2013 have the following settings configured in Outlook's Exchange Proxy Settings:
URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange: webmail.domain.com
Connect using SSL only: Checked
Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their certificates: Unchecked
On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP: Unchecked
On slow networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP: Checked
After migrating a user's mailbox from 2010 to 2013, the above settings remain the same in Outlook and their client disconnects from Exchange and isn't able to reconnect. After manually enabling the checkbox for "On fast networks, connect using HTTP
first, then connect using TCP/IP", Outlook clients are able to connect to Exchange via their newly migrated mailbox.
Is there a way to automatically updating these 2 proxy settings in Outlook during the migration instead of having to manually change each user's configuration in Outlook?
Android & iOS - Currently, users on Android & iOS with Exchange 2010 mailboxes have the following configuration:
domain: blank
username: their AD username
server: webmail.domain.com
After migrating a mobile users mailbox from 2010 to 2013, neither OS (Android or iOS) is able to connect due to an authentication failure. On iOS, if I manually change the domain from blank to my company's domain, authentication succeeds and their 2013 mailbox
begins to update. On Android, the option to change the domain name from null is grayed out, requiring the user to delete the Exchange profile and re-add it with the domain name intact. Is there a way to configure Exchange 2013 to not require the domain name
for mobile users in the same way that it's been working for us with Exchange 2010?
Please let me know if you require cmdlet print outs of my virtual directories to help troubleshoot the issue.

Hi,
Generally, when the user mailbox is moved from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, the Autodiscover service would detect the changes and update the new configuration automatically.
Please make sure the autodiscover service in your new Exchange 2013 is configured correctly. We can create a new mailbox in Exchange 2013 and check whether the new Exchange 2013 user can setup account successfully in Outlook or not. If the new user works
fine, it indicates the autodiscover service in Exchange 2013 should be proper for internal user.
Please restart the following Exchange service to have a try:
Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access
Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication
Restart IIS service by running IISReset in a Command Prompt window.
Then check whether the Outlook client can connect to Exchange 2013 or not.
As for Android & iOS issue, I suggest we can ask a question in ActiveSync forum for more suggestion:

Project Server 2013 migration workspace error

Project Server 2013 migration workspace error
Hello all,
I have just completed my Project Server 2010 to 2013 migration. All look OK until I tried using Project Professional 2013 and opening a project with about 25
Users (Enterprise Resource) . Opening took about 7 min. I tried creating a new project with 5 users and still took longer then is should.
I decided to run the below command and I received a lot of errors about missing workspace. Please help if anyone can.
Thank you in advance !!!

All,
Bulk update and post up gradation tasks was completed at time of migration.
I did notice that when opening Project Professional 2013 and unselecting
Load Resource Assignments, everything opens and runs as it should. Not sure why ? So I think for now, I'll run Project Professional 2013 without Load Resource Assignments until I find a fix.
As for (The following projects are missing the workspace webs) error, still getting them.
Thanks all for the Quick Reply's.

How to get the "host printer" and "destination host" as part of spad output

Hi ..
If i run the spad tcode and then i choose one printer, i see 4 folders: Device Attributes, Access Method, Output Attributes and Tray Info.
if i go to Devicess attributes i see: Device Type, Spool Server, Host, Device Class, Model, location , Message, lock printer in sap system.
If i go to Access Method i see the fields: Host Spool Access Method, Host Printer and Destination Host.
I am creating a report that needs the information mixed between the folder Device Type and Access Method folder
If i run spad tcode and enter "*" in Output devices i see only some of the fields i need but i need to see other fields that are contained into Access Method folder, this means, i need the complete report of all printers i have in my system with this fields:
Device Attribute - Output device (spad - entering "*")
Device Attribute - Spool Server (spad - entering "*")
Device Attribute - Location or message (spad - entering "*")
Device Attribute - Lock printer in SAP system (i do not see it if i run spad and choose all "*")
Access Method - Host Printer (i do not see it if i run spad and choose all "*")
Access Method - Destination Host (i do not see it if i run spad and choose all "*")
Access Method - Do not Query Host Spooler for Output Status. (i do not see it if i run spad and choose all "*")
Could you please le tme know how can i get the output of all the devices (printers) i have in my system with the above fields showed?
Thanks in advance.

As far as I can read you can find all that info in table TSP03D

Sshd ignores /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny

Hello everyone,
I've just found out that sshd ignores /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny completely on my machine. It doesn't make use of tcp_wrappers. I am using the standard Arch package. Either my settings are wrong, or this is a severe security problem. It was a terrible surprise to find out that my server is under severe dictionary attacks all the time, despite the denyhosts script I am using.
These are my settings:
/etc/hosts.deny:
ALL: ALL
/etc/hosts.allow:
# some nfs daemons: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
sshd sshd1 sshd2: ALL EXCEPT /etc/hosts.evil
mysqld: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
/etc/hosts.evil:
195.113.21.131
60.10.6.53
A simple experiment to verify the settings:
[root@charon etc]# tcpdmatch -d -i /etc/xinetd.conf sshd 195.113.21.131
warning: sshd: no such process name in /etc/xinetd.conf
client: address 195.113.21.131
server: process sshd
matched: hosts.deny line 5
access: denied
[root@charon etc]# tcpdmatch -d -i /etc/xinetd.conf sshd 195.113.21.130
warning: sshd: no such process name in /etc/xinetd.conf
client: address 195.113.21.130
server: process sshd
matched: hosts.allow line 10
access: granted
This seems to be fine. But when I go to the machine 195.113.21.131, I can simply log in with no trouble at all.
This is really strange. Does it have something to do with the xinetd warning? I am not using xinetd... Maybe I'm doing something wrong. If you have experienced such a trouble, please give me a hint.

My guess would be that since it listens on all local addresses by default, we're just overwriting that when specifying 0.0.0.0, which isn't valid. That was users don't have to specify their local IP address. Unless I'm wrong, shouldn't this be a bug/feature request for the packager?
This doesn't seem to be a package bug... IMHO, sshd must respect all the settings in hosts.deny and hosts.allow, regardless the IP address it listens on. The behaviour I noticed seems to be much more complicated. Basic settings (daemon name mentioned in hosts.*) worked, as far as I didn't want a "per IP" configuration. For example, including the daemon in hosts.allow really enabled remote connections, but any closer specifications (subdomains, EXCEPT operator...) were ignored. Access was simply granted without further evaluation. Excluding sshd from hosts.allow worked as one would assume. When I specified ListenAddress, everything started to work properly. This is mysterious. There are millions of computers using tcp wrappers and ssh, so it's hard to believe there could be a bug.

/etc/hosts and /etc/inet/hosts

we're running Sol10x86 11-06 and notice that there's no link between /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/hosts as there has been on some previous versions. /etc/hosts is the only file that contains all of the info for our IPMP configuration, and that seems to be enough during reboot.
what looks at /etc/inet/hosts? any danger in making /etc/inet/hosts a link to /etc/hosts?

I don't have a copy of 11/06, but I've never seen a default installation of Solaris without that link.
It's certainly there in 08/07. Is there any chance that whatever process is populating /etc/hosts on your machines is breaking that link?

Communication from the Oracle Mngt service host to the agent host failed

Hi There,
I have installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 Grid software on a Solaris Zone. I plan to upgrade it to 10.2.0.5 very soon but would like to test the agent connection from a remote server first. I installed agent version 10.2.0.5 on the remote server. When I log into the oracle grid GUI I can see the host called "localhost" (this is not the correct name. It should be the server name) and the database instances on that server. However, when I select the localhost and press the configure button I get the following message:
Communication from the Oracle Mngt service host to the agent host failed. Refer to help for details localhost:cn=servername
The system administrators changed the /etc/hosts file to make sure the server was listed first fully qualified. For example: servername.domain.com instead of servername. However, this did no make a difference.
Could the issue be any of the following:
- Oracle 10.2.0.1 GRID does not work with 10.2.0.5 agents ?
- Oracle GRID in general don't work on SOLARIS Zones?
Please help.
Thanks.

OMS - -> Agent communication is not upward compatible
Downward, so Agent 10.2.0.1 --> OMS 10.2.0.5, should not be a problem.
In the last case however, you would not have access to any 10.2.0.5 Agent features.
So you can choose from 2 working options:
1 - Install the 10.2.0.1 Agent
2 - Upgrade your OMS to 10.2.0.5 (preferable)
Regards
Rob
