How to connect Exchange 2007 mailboxes to existing users

Hi all
We use IDM/Waveset 8.1.1 and the Active Directory adapter for Exchange 2007 mailbox provisioning. We use a role for the AD account and a role for the Exchange mailbox.
When we add the Exchange role for a user, the mailbox is created (the IDM gateway sends the powershell command enable-mailbox) => it is fine.
When we remove the Exchange role for the same user (after some mails have been sent with this mailbox), the mailbox is disconnected (the IDM gateway sends the powershell command disable-mailbox) => It is also fine.
But when we add a second time the Exchange role for the same user, a new mailbox is created, while we want that the disconnected mailbox would be re-connect to the AD account (with the powershell command connect-mailbox).
Does anybody know if it is possible to do so ?
Thank you
Gilles

As long as your I.T. folks have the same DNS name pointed to the server from the inside as they do from the outside, it should work fine. To be clear, if your server is mail.company.com that name should oint to the server from inside and outside the company. Then it will work fine without any changes on your iPhone.

    Hi Guys,
    im trying to move exchange 2007 mailboxes to 2013. to cut to the chase, is this possible because im getting different kinds of errors?

    Before migrating exchange server, Make a plan
    try to practcice on lab. " Production environment and practice lab is entire different"
    I dont know your environment. Hope your Domain controller and Exchange environment is residing in same place. If it is different site, move FSMO roles to that site for installing purpose.
    IT is really challenge and excitement .
    Try to find the solution of client outlook connectivity,
    I had this problem, after I install Cumulative update, this problem gone.
     Login ECP console after install exchange server,
     Certificate installation,
    DNS pointing, port forward,
    Apply auto discover.
    I faced another issue as well during the installation. My ex admin upgraded exchange server 2003 to 2007. He may not uninstall exchange server 2003 properly. Exchange server
    2003 record was in active directory. Exchange 2013 doesnt suport mixed version of exchange 2003 and 2013. I have to delete the Exchange server 2003 record under DNS and Adsiedit. After that only exchange server 2013 allow to continue to install.

  • Error during Exchange 2007 mailbox provisioning with IDM 8.1.1.1

    Hi
    We want to create Exchange 2007 mailboxes from IDM.
    When we let Exchange set the SMTP address (EmailAddressPolicyEnabled=true), it works fine
    But when we set the SMTP address in IDM with the attribute PrimarySmtpAddress (and EmailAddressPolicyEnabled=false) there are an error and an information in the provisioning task
    Error : PowerShell:6c13f14c-3825-4064-a585-48b4756de3a3 is not a mailbox user
    Information : Added exchange mailbox to the user based on the RecipientType change from: 'User' to: 'UserMailbox'
    We see that the mailbox has the SMTP address set by Exchange.
    After 5mn, the task ends successfully and we see that the SMTP address is the one set by the IDM attribute PrimarySmtpAddress.
    We guess that this error is caused by the active directory replication delay between controllers.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem ?
    Thank you

    Hi Patrick
    Thank you for your answer.
    The cmdlet enable-mailbox can be used with the PrimarySmtpAddress option and, in this case, the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled option is automatically set to false.
    Cf. the MS technet help : "The PrimarySmtpAddress parameter specifies the primary SMTP address for the mailbox. By default, the primary SMTP address is generated based on the default e-mail address policy. If you specify a primary SMTP address by using this parameter, the command sets the EmailAddressPolicyEnabled attribute of the mailbox to $false, and the e-mail addresses of this mailbox aren't automatically updated based on e-mail address policies."
    I have tested this option on our Exchange 2007 environment and it works fine.
    In IDM if PrimarySmtpAddress is used but not EmailAddressPolicyEnabled, there is an error : "PowerShell:The e-mail addresses for this recipient are automatically generated based on e-mail address policies. To modify the primary SMTP address for this recipient, you must disable automatic updating of e-mail addresses based on e-mail address policy”
    If PrimarySmtpAddress is used and EmailAddressPolicyEnabled is set to false, then the log shows that 2 powershell commands are run by the gateway, the second immediately after the first.
    Enable-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity and -Database, run with no error
    Set-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity, -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled (set to FALSE) and -PrimarySmtpAddress, run with the error “…is not a mailbox user.”
    After 5 mn (the retry delay) another powershell command is run :
    Set-Mailbox with the parameters -Identity, -EmailAddressPolicyEnabled (set to FALSE) and -PrimarySmtpAddress, run with no error.
    The solution would be that IDM, when PrimarySmtpAddress is set, runs only the command Enable-Mailbox with the parameters PrimarySmtpAddress, which set automatically EmailAddressPolicyEnabled to FALSE

  • Is it supported to connect Exchange 2013 Mailbox using Exchange 2010 CAS in Co-existence?

    Hi Team,
    I am in the phase of upgrading Exchange 2010 to 2013, and introduced 4 MBX and 2 CAS of 2013 servers in co-existence.
    Only one production mailbox of 2010 moved to 2013. The owa of the mailbox moved to 2013, is working OK internally coz only internally configured, but when I configure outlook using 2010 settings, it got configured but when I open outlook it doesn't
    open and throws an error of some "cannot open set of folders".
    Is it supported to connect Exchange 2013 Mailbox using Exchange 2010 CAS in Co-existence? because I havnt configured 2013 CAS servers yet.
    Kindly share some KB or tip. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

    I'll change Adam's wording slightly - you *MUST* install a CAS 13 server into every site where there is a MBX 13 server.

    Hi,
    You can try LSMW (Direct method) for uploading class values.
    Upload file can hae following structure:
    OBJEK     |     ATINN     |     KLART     |     ATWRT
    Release Grou+Release strategy |     Characteristic name     |     Class type     |     Class Value
    e.g. rel grp is PO, rel strategy is 01, characteristic name is EBAN_EKORG, and class value is 1000 then
    OBJEK     |     ATINN     |     KLART     |     ATWRT
    PO01     |     EBAN_EKORG |     032     |     1000
    multiple characterstics can be
    OBJEK     |     ATINN     |     KLART     |     ATWRT

  • How to create custom folder in every mailbox of Exchange 2007 mailbox : not using Managed folder

    Hello ,
    We want to create custom folder in mailbox as root or inside inbox for every user of mailbox but not using managed folder .
    I have found below article , but we do not get success to do that .
    http://careexchange.in/create-a-custom-root-folder-in-all-the-mailboxes-bulk-in-exchange-2010/
    Any idea how to do that ?
    It will be great helpful for  us.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards
    faiz

    What happens when you try that method? What errors do you get? Have you ensured you've installed EWS 1.2 per the requirements listed in the script? (it actually mentions 1.1, but that no longer seems to be available, but 1.2 is here
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=28952 ).
    I'm assuming you're running Exchange 2007 (since you're posting in the 2003/2007 forum, and this won't work on 2003), is that correct?
    While I don't know for sure that the script will work on 2007, have you ensured that you've amended the file paths to the correct locations? Eg, assuming it should work you'll need to amend the line :
    $service = New-Object Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService([Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeVersion]::Exchange2010_SP1)
    to reflect the version of Exchange you're running, and the line :
    Import-Module -Name "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange\Web Services\1.1\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll"
    with whatever version of EWS you've installed.

  • How to decomission a Exchange 2007 Mailbox server

    Hello, 
    We are running Exchange 2007 SP3 servers. We currently have a Mailbox server we want to decommission. I'd like help on how to achieve this. I want to make sure that all mailboxes have been moved from that server and remove the Public Folder database as well.
    I understand that the Public Folders needs to stop replicating to this server, can someone please guide me on how to do that?
    All kinds of help are appreciated. Thanks!

    For the public folder stuff, see these scripts: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997966(v=exchg.141).aspx
    The system folders can be replicated with the '\non_ipm_subtree' identifier, but some system folders are per-server and don't need to replicate.  OAB distribution however
    is one that might matter.

  • Connect to Exchange 2007 Mailboxes with Exchange 2013 Management shell

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it is possible to use the Exchange 2013 Management Shell with the older version of Exchange 2007. When I run the console now it give me an error saying no exchange servers are available in the Active Directory site. When I use Exchange
    management shell for 2007 the errors do not appear. Wondering if the management shell is backwards compatible.
    Thanks,

    No. your management shell MUST be the same roll-up version of exchange. I have applied updates and learned the hard way to block all updates that go beyond the server version you are
    running.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/240.exchange-server-and-update-rollup-bui...
    To this end, you can use the same installation media that was used to install your Exchange server "Provided you are hosting your own", just install the management console instead of the whole thing,

  • Decommission Exchange 2007 Mailbox Server from Cluster

    Hi! I realize this is an Exchange 2013 forum, however as I do not see any forums for older flavors of Exchange I'm going to post this here. If a better forum exists please let me know and I'll happily move to that forum for my answers.
    I am just finishing a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.  In the Exchange 2007 environment I have 2 CCR Mailbox Clusters.  While working to decommission the first of the two clusters I successfully evicted the passive node, however
    I mistakenly evicted the active node rather than removing it by running the Exchange Setup Wizard as outlined in the TechNet article "How to Remove the Active Mailbox Role from a CCR Environment".
    Now, when attempting to uninstall Exchange 2007 using the Setup Wizard in Add/Remove Program I get the following error during the prerequisite check for the 'Mailbox Role':
    Error:
    Exchange server FQDN was not found. Please make sure you have typed it correctly."
    Setup then completes.
    Is there a way to cleanly uninstall Exchange 2007 and clean-up Active Directory?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jesse,
    Thank you for your question.
    We could run “ADsiedit.msc” in run, then navigate
    Configuration [<domainController>.contoso.com]> CN=Configuration,DC=contoso,DC=com> CN=Services> CN=Microsoft Exchange> CN=<OrganizationName> CN=Administrative Group> CN=Exchange Administrative Group>CN=Server
    We could check if mailbox server is existed in this container, we could remove it.
    Notice: Before we remove it, we could make a backup for AD database. We suggest you call MS engineer for help.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • How to upgrade Exchange 2007 from Sp1 to SP3 RU13

    Hi everyone, I have a mail system Exchange 2007 SP1 CAS and HUB with 3 servers. 
    The mailboxes are on a Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster. 
    Domain controllers are Windows Server 2003 SP2 
    I have to update the mail system with Service Pack 3 and RU13. 
    Does anyone can tell me the procedure? where I have to start by the CAS / HUB or cluster mailboxes? 
    How do I update the cluster of mailboxes, the resources on the active node and update it, or liability? 
    There's something I have to take intoaccount before upgrading? 
    I can upgrade directly to SP3? or I have to upgrade before SP2?  thank you very much

  • Powershell command to migrate Exchange 2007 mailbox databases with a legacy name, & import them into a new 2007 instance, with a new name.

    Hi All. I am currently at the later stage of provisioning a new CCR Exchange 2007 migration (to
    virtualise old Exchange 2007 hardware) for 5,000 users & have a quick question.
    I have created around 15 newly named storage groups, & have named 1 new DB per group, with the same name (let's say New-DB-1), residing within them.  The problem I have, is the old legacy DB's have different names (let's say Old-DB-1) & I need
    to import them into the new storage groups, to match the new names. So far I can import/export between old & new OK if both old & new DB names\folders etc. names marry up perfectly, but are unable to if there not the same. Does anyone have any thoughts
    on how best to tackle this, as this is one of the final hurdles stopping the migration? Many Thanks, John 

    Hi All
    Many Thanks for the feedback.
    The terminology 'migrate' was used based around the fact I will be decommissioning the old 2007 physical environment. This is after moving all DB's over to the new newly created Virtual environment that will host all roles.
    The solution I ended up using yesterday, was the following:
    1) Dismounted the relevant named DB (NEWDB) in the new environment.
    2) I then ticked the 'This database can be overwritten by a restore option' box.
    3) Copied over the old named DB (OLDDB) to the same location, & overwrote using the new name (NEWDB).
    4) Re-mounted the (NEWDB).
    5) Ran the following 2 PowerShell commands:
     Get-mailbox –database OLDDB | move-mailbox –targetdatabase NEWDB -configurationonly:$true
     Get-MailboxDatabase NEWDB | ResetSearchIndex.ps1 -force
    6) Checked to make sure the clients were working ok, in the now the new (NEWDB) environment.
    Rich: Many thanks for your PS script, which I will test with future DB moves & provide feedback
    J
    John.

  • Exchange 2007 mailbox creation error

    Hi,
    We are having problems with our standard AD/Exchange adapter when creating users with a mailbox.
    We currently have the following setup:
    - Sun IdM 8.1.0.7
    - There are 4 DC, and two Exchange 2007 Servers.
    - The gateway runs on a seperate Win2003 R2 32 bit server (but is a member of the AD).
    The error we are getting is this:
    PowerShell:41b59779-b9cb-487f-b200-4b9836dc176d is not a mailbox user.
    It seems like the gateway has a preferred DC when creating accounts.
    But when creating the Exchange account, the Exchange server has a different preferred DC,
    where the AD account is not yet present. (there is an 5 minute replication interval)
    We don't have a test enviroment with the same setup, which makes it a bit tricky to find the problem,
    and testing possible solutions for it. Out test enviroment consists only of 1 DC, and 1 Exchange server so
    the errors does not exist there.
    Is there anyone who has seen something like this before, and in that case, is there a solution for it?
    Or it's maybe better if a put it like this: Is there anyone who is running multiple DC:s and multiple Exchange Servers
    without these problems? And in that case, are you creating the user and the mailbox at the same time?
    I would gladly provide some more info and logs, if you specify what might be interesting to see.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    Henrik

    Some additional info:
    Today the process goes like this:
    First we create the user and does not set the RecipientType -> The user is created in AD (without Mailbox)
    Second we set the following attributes when we want the user to get a Mailbox: (5 min delay)
    EmailAddressPolicyEnabled = false
    PrimarySmtpAddress = [email protected]
    RecipientType = MailboxUser
    Database = <our-db-here>
    The user now gets his mailbox, but the email generated by Exchange is used when I look at the user.
    And also the EmailAddressPolicy stays enabled.
    Any ideas about the attributes I'm trying to set here?
    Regards,
    Henrik

  • Long time creating Exchange 2007 mailbox

    Hi everybody.
    I´m creating a mailbox in Exchange 2007 when provisioning users in AD, and it looks fine. The problem is the time spent in doing it (approximately 2:30 minutes). I´ve been researching but did not solved it.
    Any idea of what could be the cause?
    Regards.

    Hi Rookie,
    as a matter of fact, you are quite ahead of the rest of us.
    I have tried over and over to create Mailboxes using the Exchange 2007 in IDM. But, so far, unsuccessfully.
    Creating users in AD works fine. For some reason, IDM refuses to create mailboxes.
    if you have actually succeeded in accomplishing this (albeit slowly), I would love to know how you did it.
    Thanks
