Hi Martin
Find the below information.
Upgrade Sequence for each Role:
==========================
You should upgrade your Exchange 2013 server roles in the following order:
Client Access
Mailbox
Edge
For DAG members
Upgrade only passive servers in the first phase.
Before you apply the service pack to a DAG member, move all active mailbox database copies off the server to be upgraded and configure the server to be blocked from activation.
Place server in DAG maintenance mode before applying the service pack to any DAG member,
Stop any scheduled tasks or other processes running on the DAG member or within that DAG that could adversely affect the DAG member being upgraded or the upgrade process
Good Luck !!

Upgrade Exchange server 2013 to CU7 error

Dear Microsoft Team

Hi Rawa Zangana,
According to the error message, it seems that the Global Catalog not reachable from DC.
Please perform following steps.
1. Port 3268 listened on DC.
2. Enable Global Catalog role on all DCs.
3. Restart Exchange Server 2013 CU5.
4. Check whether Event 2080 found on all DCs, Event 2080 means that AD connectivity works fine.
5. Repeat CU7 installation.
Thanks

Recieve Connectors Exchange Server 2013 CU5

Hello,
I am running Exchange Server 2013 CU5, and the receive connector keeps timing out. The problem only exists after the server has been running for somewhere between 2 to 3 hours. After reboot all will work for the 2 to 3 hours and then we stop getting emails.
If I run the Microsoft Connectivity test it returns error code 1, time out error, reboot the server and all is fine again for a while. I have tried deleting the receive connector & re-creating it as both a Hub connector and a frontend connector and it
makes no difference. The fault originally occurred why I was running Exchange server 2013 Std, I they upgraded to SP1 then to CU5 in an effort to resolve the issue, but this did not work. Any suggestions would be welcome as I have no idea on what to try next.
Thanks
Curly

The following error is what I get when I do an "Inbound SMTP Email" test. For the first hour after a reboot it will pass the test with no errors then sometime after the first hour I get the following message. Out going Emails work fine all the time just
incoming. I have created a [email protected] email address, you are more than welcome to use for testing purpose. Also Thankyou for your assistance in this matter as I am at a loss on what maybe the problem so once again
Thankyou.
Attempting to send a test email message to @pvte.com.au
using MX pvte.com.au.
Delivery of the test email message failed.

Need information about Exchange server 2013 CU5

Hello,
Can anyone implemented Exchange Server 2013 CU5. I need feedback about this patch. Basically i will going to deploy this patch after getting best feedback.
I'm waiting for your feedback.
Thanks,
Parvez

Hello,
Since the Exchange Server 2013 CU5 just be released, there is no detailed technet article or exchange team blog to verify some issues during installation. But I see a MCC who update a member in a DAG, there is no problem. If there are some issues, you
can check the setup logs or event logs.
Based on my known, if your environment meets exchange server 2013 prerequisites, and you follow the exchange server 2013 installation process, there should be problem.
I recommend you deploy the patch on test environment firstly, and then apply it on production environment.

What is the order for upgrading exchange server 2013 SP1 servers to CU7?

Hi All
I am planning to upgrade my exchange server 2013 SP1CU4 to CU7 . As per my understanding , we always proceed with the CAS servers and then the Mailbox Servers during up-gradation.
But I am confused now , since I have seen articles stating , that the Mailbox servers has to be upgraded first and then the CAS servers in exchange 2013.
What will be the correct order . My environment consists of 2 Mailbox servers in DAG and 2 CAS servers (Exchange server 2013 SP1)
Thanks in Advance .
Joyso Senior Messaging Admin

Hi Joyso,
The Microsoft recommendation regarding the order in which the Exchange 2013 server roles should be installed or Upgraded is Mailbox and then CAS.
It makes sense as the CAS Role is a stateless server and all major components are held by the Mailbox Role.
Until a 2013 mailbox server comes online, the CAS server is pretty much useless. Hence, the recommended installation order in 2013 is the reverse of 2010 – Mailbox role first & then CAS
Note: If your DAG have more nodes, you need first upgrade all non-PAM nodes and then upgrade PAM node.
Some References:
The recommendation from the Product Group is to install Exchange 2013 Preview Mailbox Role first, and then the
CAS role.
If you're separating your server roles, we recommend installing the Mailbox server role first.
Upgrade your Exchange 2013 server roles in the required order. First, upgrade Mailbox servers
and then upgrade Client Access servers. -Upgrade DAG Mailbox servers
Exchange 2013 Server Roles Installation Order – Mailbox First:

Mail flow completely broken after upgrading Exchange Server 2013 CU3 (Build 775.38) to Exchange Server 2013 SP1 (Build 847.32)

internal mail flow completely broken.
external mail flow completely broken.
i upgraded exchange server as follows:
1. setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
2. setup.exe /PrepareAD /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
3. upgraded the exchange server with GUI installer
also considered this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2938053/en-us
receive connectors :
Transport Service couldn't start, then i disabled hub transports, and it starts, but no mail flow on port 25. according to this:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24056.what-the-crash.aspx
i didn't have any success to fix mail flow, any solution?

Hi Alireza
The above tech-net http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24056.what-the-crash.aspx
will be applicable only if we get these events in the app log 1019,1018,1036,4999
You can check the transport service is running in which service account - Local or network
It should be running in network account by default.
You can run get-transportagent and check if there are any transport agents installed
If you find them then disable all the transport agents that you have installed on the Exchange servers by running disable-transportagents
Disable the antivirus if you have any installed.

Hi,
To understand more about the issue, I’d like to confirm the detail error when the installation failed.
As far as I know, deployment of an Exchange Server 2013 server goes through three main stages.
1. Preparing Active Directory (if you are installing Exchange Server 2013 for the first time)
2. Installing the Exchange Server 2013 pre-requisites on the server
3. Running Exchange Server 2013 setup
For more information, you can refer to the following article:

Many thanks.

You will also need to check server role requirement in exchange 2013. Please go through this link to calculate the server role requirement : http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/05/14/released-exchange-2013-server-role-requirements-calculator.aspx
2TB is recommended maximum database size for Exchange 2013 databases.

a good approach for 1500 users. It will help you to ensure the data security during the migration between exchange 2007 and 2013.

Upgrading Exchange Server 2003 to 2010 to 2013 is worth???

Hello there, I am planning to upgrade about 30 users from exchange server 2003 to 2010 and finally to 2013. Is it worth to upgrade in this way because this steps are hard and very time consuming. What if, if I just copy all the user mailboxes directly to
exchange server 2013 and configure 2013 as a new exchange server and decommission old exchange server 2003?
How to copy user mailboxes to fresh exchange server 2013?
Please help me out.
Thankx

Yes, Export the PST from User Mailbox and Import it into Exchange 2013 Mailbox. But the problem is, you can't install Exchange 2013 in your current Exchange 2003 environment.
Only option is to install Exchange 2010 first and migrate all the users to Exchange 2010. Also Replicate the Public Folders too(If you are using)
Decommission Exchange 2003 entirely. Install Exchange 2013 SP1 and Migrate the User to Exchange 2013.

How can I clone a completed Exchange Server 2013 in a Lab Enviroment?

I was having great time with my Exchange Server 2013 until I tried to clone it to avoid fresh installation of another Exchange 2013 server. Steps taken
(1)Clone the Exchange1 and turn it off
(2) Brought the Clone Exchange2, renamed it, change the IP configurations,
(3) Re-ran the ADprep/Doamin prep
(4) Checked the ASDIedit to verify the Schema/configuration in AD
(5) Restarted I and was able to logon to the Exchange2
(6) Brought up the Exchange1, but unable to logon because the name was no longer in AD database
What I did to fix this:
(7) Rejoin the Exchange1 to the domain - and was able to logon
(8) Unable to access ECP or OWA of any of the two servers.
(9) Errors received - Fix the configuration file of the application
My Question - How to I fix the configuration file as suggested (via powershell or GUI or ASDIedit.msc)?

Unless you are cloning an entire environment, and then bringing it up in a seperate isolated environment, it is not supported to simply clone an Exchange Server, and then bring it online in an existing environment and rename it to save on setup and configuration
time.
You can script the setup and configuration of Exchange through Powershell, either with scripts or with another product controlling it - something like
System Center Orchastrator.
From the script side of things there are many available on peoples blogs. Check
here.
Edit: and to be clear, there is no need to re-run any prep tasks against Active Directory when installing a new Exchange Server, unless you are installing into a new domain as part of your Forest.

How can i get newly added contacts for a Mailbox User in Exchange Server 2013

Hi all,
I need to synchronize contacts in Exchange Server and Sugar CRM Application, for that
i need to get newly added contacts for a User in Exchange Server 2013 by using EWS Managed API.
I know how get the list of all contacts for a particular user , but in the list how i can find
new contacts ?

Hi Dora,
that's the fun thing:
You add your own property (and it'll be invisible to outlook users, not to worry).
Extended Properties allow you to define custom property on Exchange Items. And it has a
method for setting those too.
Here's a short post doing a very simple intro on using Extended Properties.
Glen's Exchange Blog is a generally useful resource when working with EWS, I'm confident you'll be able to find lots of tips there as well.
Cheers,
Fred

Exchange Server 2013 POP3 Service on CAS cannot after Upgrade to SP1

Exchange Server 2013 POP3 Service on CAS cannot after Upgrade to SP1
When I manual start MSExchangepop3 Service on CAS It show "The Microsoft Exchange POP3 Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."
In event log show POP3 EventID 1018 , 1019 , 1036
It said like this blinding already use (0.0.0.0)
The point is "IF I SET BINDING FOR 995 , MSEXCHANGE POP3 Service will automatic stop"
Does anyone face this issue please?
Thank you

You could check what (if anything) else is running on that port.
From a command prompt, type netstat -ano | find 995
This will give you the Process Identifier (PID) for the process that is running on port 995. Then you can open Task Manager, add PID as an additional column, and find out what that process is.
Hope that helps.
