How to delete Monitoring mailboxes in Exchange 2013?

I had number of databases decommissioned during our migration from 2010 to 2013
Now we have only 2 servers and 2 databases in DAG.
Correct me if I am wrong but I expect to have 2 health monitoring mailboxes per database.
Currently I have 8 MBs with all different GUIDs, 5 in one DB and 3 in the other, WhenChanged data is very old one.
Is there any way to delete and then re-create mailboxes for health monitoring to be sure I have only necessary ones and that they are working?
I mean not objects in AD but mailboxes themselves, I know I can delete user objects with ADUC and then restart MS Exchange Health Manager to recreate them.
When I try to access monitoring mailboxes it cannot find it via remove-mailbox command.

I am running the command in elevated window.
Here is what I've noticed on Permissions: group "Exchange Servers" has Deny for Delete Subtree permission on the "Monitoring Mailboxes".
Both Exchange servers are members of this group as well as the other group "Install Exchange domain Servers".
It is inherited from the top.
Should I change inheritance on the OU? Don't want to break anything.
What is your permission on the same OU, Martina?

How to recover a deleted/overwritten mailbox in Exchange 2013?

We had a mailbox in our exchange database 1 called, example, [email protected] And I had to create another mailbox called, example, [email protected], which I created in the same database. This either deleted or overwrote the first mailbox (@abc.com)
Now, mails sent to the first mailbox are undelivered and cannot login to webmail either. Is there a way to restore that mailbox? What are the steps to recover/list deleted mailbox?

Hi
It is not possible to create 2 mailboxes with same alias in a forest . Each mailbox should have unique alias name which in turn would have an AD account for the same and will be associated only with one mailbox.
Just check if the old mailbox is showing up in the disconnected mailboxes and you should have created a new mailbox by mistake.

Cannot disable a mailbox in Exchange 2013 CU6!?!?!?!

I cannot disable a mailbox in Exchange 2013 CU6. I get the following error:
Anyone seen this error? As you know, I just want to remove the Exchange attributes from the user object in Active Directory. Of course, deleting the user object works just fine but don't want to go that route.

I tried with the EMS (Powershell) and I still get an error:
[PS] C:\>disable-mailbox [email protected]
Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Disabling mailbox "[email protected]" will remove the Exchange properties from the Active Directory user object and mark the mailbox in the database for removal. If the mailbox has an archive or remote archive, the archive will also
be
marked for removal. In the case of remote archives, this action is permanent. You can't reconnect this user to the remote archive again.

I captured everything with the START-TRANSCRIPT cmdlet and changed the specific values to our organization (i.e., "[email protected]" and "LocalDCName.Local.com"). I've tried this on other mailboxes and I receive the same error whether
I use EMC or EMS. I believe this might be AD schema related just not sure where.

Configure a Catch-All Mailbox in Exchange 2013

Is it possible to create a catch-all rule which delivers mail sent to a non- existing mail address inside the organization (*@contoso.com), to a specific
mailbox?
Exchange 2013 Standard

Hi All
I have also used the Catch all agent from Codeplex, with great success.
The only issue is, that the catch all transport agent HAS TO be installed, while your still at level CU3 or lower.
We are now at exchange 2013 CU7, and the Catch all agent still works like a charm.
Forget about journaling rules, these doesn´t work, in my experience

Getting error when I try to remove eum secondary email address from the Mailbox from Exchange 2013 server

Getting error when I try to remove eum secondary email address from the Mailbox from Exchange 2013 server. The command works if you issue directly from the server exchange shell.
I open the remote power shell to the exchange server 2013.
Issue the following commands and getting the following error.
$mailbox = Get-Mailbox -Identity testuser$mailbox.EmailAddresses -= "eum:50004;phone-context=telExt5digits.lync5.com"Then getting the following error:Method invocation failed because [System.Collections.ArrayList] doesn't contain a method named 'op_Subtraction'.
At line:1 char:27
+ $mailbox.EmailAddresses -= <<<< "eum:50004;phone-context=telExt5digits.lync5.com"
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (op_Subtraction:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFoundHelp!

Now for an answer - your remote session doesn't have the same object you have on the server itself. Notice it says this is an array list, not a ProxyAddressCollection. If you need to work around this, you'll need to massage the addresses another
way that the system will accept. I'd try the following:
$NewAddresses = $mailboxEmailAddresses | ? { $_ -notlike "eum:50004;phone-context=telExt5digits.lync5.com" }
See what you get in the $NewAddresses variable when you do this.

Outlook 2010 clients cannot access their Online Archive mailbox in Exchange 2013??

Hello,
I have an issue where my Outlook 2010user cannot see/access their Archive mailbox when they are migrated from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
Both the live and archive mailbox is in Exchange 2013, the user can launch Outlook but if they click on their Archive mailbox it is unavailable.
Once the user is upgraded to SP2 or Outlook 2013 they have no issues accessing their archive mailbox.
These users have the minimum required Outlook version (14.0.6126.5000),
they are running 14.0.6129.5000.
Is there a different requirement on the Outlook client if the user has an archive mailbox in Exchange 2013 as well?
Thank you.

Moving mailbox from exchange 2013 back to exchange 2007 ..

Hi Guys,
I recently configured configured co-existence between exchange 2007 and exchange 2013. I moved a pilot user from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 and now the user has issues receiving mails.
I am trying to move the user back to 2007 pending the resolution of the issue. The move status says completed but the mailbox remains in the exchange 2013 environment.
I need to return the user to an exchange 2007 mailbox database ..any ideas on what I am missing.
Thanx guys ..
~Richard
..forever is just a minute away*

Hi Richard,
Please move your mailbox from Exchange 2013 to 2007 from the Exchange 2013 admin center (EAC) and the Exchange Management Shell instead of EMC in Exchange 2007.
Then check whether the issue persists. If possible, please provide more error logs for further analysis.

Migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010

Hello,
We have a merger and would like to know if it is possible to migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2013 to Exchange 2010 in a cross-forest scenario.
Or should we first upgrade destination Exchange 2010 to 2013?
Peteris

Hi Peteris,
Based on my tests, we can move mailboxes from Exchange Server 2013 to Exchange server 2010. You can use the Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 script in the EMS to prepare mailboxes for cross forest moves.
For more information about it, here is a helpful article for your reference.

How to set initial size for mailbox in Exchange 2013?

Hello All!
I've installed Exchange 2013.
Now I'd like to check Backup/Restore of some DataBase.
For thist I look for some way to create Bulk of Mailboxes in DataBase and to set some initial size 50-100Mb for each.
Thanks a lot!
BR,
Pavel

Hi
In your testing creating bulk mailboxes alone will not help . We need to populate some data's in the databases so that the databases are written with some values and they contain some data.
For your testing with backup
First you need to create few number of mailboxes.
Populate those mailboxes by sending more emails.
delete those emails and then try restoring those emails from the backup or if its testing QA server then you can dismount any databases delete few log files and try to restore them from your backup

Exchange 2013 - EMC 2013 - View Mailbox Size With Column In EMC - How To View Mailbox Size Exchange 2013?

Is there a way to add a column to show each users mailbox size in the EMC for Exchange 2013 under recipients > mailboxes?
Such a simple tool would be so much easier for administrative purposes.

Hi,
There is no way to add the column of mailbox size back to EAC in Exchange 2013, I don't know why this option is removed and there is no official document explaining this issue.
To get the mailbox size, we can use commands to get it.
Thanks for your understanding.

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.
Best of Luck " Nothing is impossible"

How do i connect manually to Exchange 2013 from Outlook 2007/2010 in another forest?

Hello All,
I have a source organization: Windows 2003 domain + Exchange 2010 SP3 + smtp domain acme.com
Target organization: Winows 2012 R2 domain + Exchange 2013 CU3 + smtp domain acme.com
We are migrating to target organization.
I want to connect Outlook 2007/2010 to their target mailbox (Exchange 2013) from a machine which is joined to Source DOmain.
I couldn't use autodiscover, because as the machine is joined to source domain, autodiscover it's mapping to Exchange 2010.
It only works when I machine is joined to target domain.
Any idea how to connect manually to eXCHANGE 2013 mailbox from a machine which is joined to source domain?
Regards
José Osorio

Hi,
Firstly, I’d like to explain, Autodiscover service can be used cross forest:
1. the two forests must be trusted.
2. configure a mail contact in the original forest.
For more information, please refer to the partition named how to configure the Autodiscover service for cross-forest moves in the following article:

Duplicate Contacts when migrating mailboxes to exchange 2013 SP1 CU7

Hello,
We started to notice that when we move a user from our legacy exchange 2007 to exchange 2013, the contact list appears twice for users. I heard CU6 was suppose to fix this issue but we went ahead and downloaded the latest version and we are still seeing
this. Can anyone provide guidance on how to stop this for the remaining migrations?
Thanks

Hi Joey,
I'm back : )
According to your description, I know that the contact list appears twice for users after moving users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
I notice that you want to install CU6 to fix this issue, based on my knowledge, CU6 can cause an known issue when you are using Exchange 2007 and 2013 coexistence and query mailbox move request via EMS. However is known issue has fixed in CU7, I suggest
install CU7 for testing.
Thanks
