I can't either mount for remove Exchange 2010 mailbox database file

Yesterday I proceeded with moving Exchange 2010 database file to a newly installed hard drive because my "C" drive was running out of space. After dismouting both the mailbox database and the public folder database, I used EMC's  "move
data path" wizard to move both the mailbox database and public folder database to "mailbox" folder in "D" drive.  The move was successful without an error, but when I opened "mailbox" folder in "D" drive, both
the database file and public folder database files weren't there.  All the other files were moved, but the mailbox database file was gone.  
Luckily I manually copied entire mailbox folder to another folder in "D" drive.  So I manually copied mailbox database file (it is about 20GB) to "d:\mailbox".  When I try to mount, I received the following error message.
Microsoft Exchange Error
Failed to mount database 'Mailbox Database 1658107303'.

database 1658107303'
EMC would not even delete the database file.
I need help.  I need to mount my mailbox database file.  Please help.

If the database was fine pre move I doubt it needs a repair, however if you want to validate do an eseutil /mh ReplaceWithYourDatabaseName.edb and post the results here
did you move the logs as well or are they still in same location
I have seen this before if everything is where its supposed to bea restart fixed it so I would recommend that you put the DB back into the  NEW D path and do a restart to see if that resolves the issue

  • Import Exchange 2010 Mailbox Database .edb into Exchange 2013

    My Exchange 2010 server recently crashed I am in the process of setting up a new 2013 server. Is it possible to import the .edb file from my old server to the new server to recover the mailboxes?

    Hi sapper,
    Thank you for your question.
    We could not mount the database to new server simply, because all services are still on Exchange 2010. So we could refer to the following link:

  • Exchange 2010 - mailbox database in a DAG different sizes

    HI
    After a recent health check on our Exchange 2010 (SP3) environment I noticed that our mailboxes databases in the DAG, which consists of 4 Exchange Servers, had used
     different capacity.
    Could someone why the mounted database and the 3 healthy copies are not the same size?
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    Based on your description, the active database and passive database have different size.
    Apart from Willard Martin's suggestions, please update database copy using the following command and then check result.
    Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity DB -SourceServer activeserver
    Please make sure the passive databae copy has healthy state.

  • Exchange 2010 mailbox prompts for authentication to Exchange 2013 mailbox

    I am in the process of a 2010 to 2013 migration. The only issue I can't seem to manage is an authentication issue with Outlook 2010. My Outlook profile consists of my Exchange 2013 mailbox and a shared mailbox on Exchange 2010. Initially, Outlook was prompting
    for authentication to the Exchange 2010 mailbox. Regardless of whether I entered the correct credentials or simply cancelled the prompt, I still had full access to both mailboxes (including Public Folders on 2010). The authentication prompt was removed with
    the following command:
    Get-OutlookAnywhere -Server my2013exchserver | Set-OutlookAnywhere -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true
    The second issue I now have is the reverse of the above: an Exchange 2010 user is prompted for authentication to an Exchange 2013 mailbox. How do I begin to troubleshoot this problem - should I run the same command (above) on 2010? I don't quite understand
    how Outlook communicates with Exchange but I am thinking there is an incorrect setting on one of the Virtual Directories(?).
    Many thanks.

    Hi Dennis,
    Please open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar –Connection Status to check the connection for your Exchange 2010 mailbox with shared 2013 mailbox. The following example in my test results:
    Please check your connection authentication. We can  run the following command to set your Outlook Anywhere for Exchange 2013:
    Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity "E15-01\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod Ntlm -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -ExternalClientsRequireSsl $True -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true
    In Outlook side, please ensure the following settings in Account Settings:
    In Security tab, make sure Always prompt for logon credentials is unchecked and Logon network security is set to Negotiate Authentication.

  • Exchange 2010 Mailbox automapping issues after updated to Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 SP3

    Hi,
    i have problem with Outlook Uses who have Full Access on other mailbox.
    An authentication window pop up very time a user start Outlook.
    If i remove the access everything is ok.
    if i insert manual the mailbox everything is ok
    The System was for 3 days ago updated to Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 SP3
    Before the update, was no issue.
    i will appreciated any help
    Thanks

    Same issue here. Ever since we installed Update Rollup 5 for SP3 Exchange 2010 mailboxes that were auto mapped are not accessible. They all get the same error.
    Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. The attempt to log on to the Microsoft Exchange has failed.
    What I have been doing is removing the users permission, then adding them back using the noautomap switch in Powershell. After doing that, the user manually adds the mailbox and all is well.
    Just a note here, I suspect it may have something to do with the version of Outlook 2010. We are running an older version here. I think only SP1 with no other incremental updates. Office is up to SP2. Also, one of the users I was working with could not access
    the mailbox no matter what we tried but she can walk over to another workstation and open Outlook and access the very same mailbox so that pretty much proves its software related particularly with Outlook.
    I cannot reproduce the problem on a workstation (XP) with a newer version of Outlook.
    This has been wearing me out and I suspected the Update Rollup all long. Now I am confident as others are having the same problem. If you find out anything on how to fix this other than the steps above, let me know.

  • Exchange 2013 / 2010 co-existence - Outlook won't connect to Exchange 2010 mailboxes

    Greetings!  I have a lab set up at home where I have been testing co-existence of Exchange 2013 and 2010 for a future corporate upgrade project.
    I am running into some odd behavior.  Any mailbox that has been migrated to Exchange 2013 works just fine, however, when I try to set up Outlook for a mailbox still on Exchange 2010 I  receive errors.  OWA works just fine for these Exchange
    2010 mailboxes, it is just Outlook that has the problem.  This is what I am running into:
    1. Outlook uses autodiscover to locate server settings.  It fails at the 'logging on to mail server' step saying that Exchange isn't available; Outlook must be connected, etc.
    2. It then gives me the settings box for Exchange server and Mailbox.  This is auto populated with one of the Exchange 2013 servers (there are 3 of them, all have both MBX and CAS role).  If I then change the server to the Exchange 2010 CAS server,
    and hit 'check names', it underlines the very same entries (like it found them this time) that were there initially and goes on to finish the configuration.
    3. When I launch Outlook with this Exchange 2010 user, it fails to open with the error message that the set of folders couldn't be opened.
    I've been doing as much research on this as I can.  I've tried disabling IPv6 to no avail.  It seems as if perhaps the issue is with Exchange 2013 proxying the request back to the Exchange 2010 servers but I am not sure what to check in that regards. 
    Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Don´t disable IPV6 on an Exchange Server, it is, in my opinion not necessary - also applies for AD.
    You can use your original SSL Cert for your new Ex 2013 environment.
    In dns you want two host A records: mail.domain.com and autodiscover.domain.com
    On your 2013 set your internal and external virtual directories to mail.domain.com
    leave autodiscover and Powershell alone.
    Also set the autodiscover URI to your Certificate name ie. mail.domain.com
    Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity "YourCASServer" -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri "https://mail.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml"
    Thanks.  I wanted to give some additional info before I run any commands.  I currently have an A record for autodiscover and it is pointed to the Exchange 2013 DAG/cluster IP.  I have a 3 entries for mail.domain, for DNS round robin; basically
    it is listed 3 times for the IP of each of my Exchange 2013 servers.  Does any of this sound problematic?

  • Cisco 5 with Exchange 2010 and Database Availability Groups

    Hi,
    Unity 5 was installed a long time. Recently installed with the latest ES88 to the system. The fact is we have Exchange 2007 (clustered) mailbox server in the network environment, and introduced the Exchange 2010 (with DAG activated).
    So far we didn't do any "re-partnering" from the Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010. The end users are working fine by leaving voice message and can retreive their voice without too much issue, no matter where the End Users account are located, Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010.
    But lately, there was some actions taken in the Exchange environment. Some Exchange 2010 mailstore databases in one of the Exchange 2010 server, with DAG has been activated.
    In this case, we are now unable to leave any voice messages to the end usrs. All the voice messages are now being held in C:\CommServer\UnityMTA.
    Want to ask, does Unity 5 and Exchange 2010 compatible with DAG? Also, is that my problem is caused by re-partnering server not taken place? If yes, which Exchange 2010 mailbox database server I should point to? Reason is, there will have 3 physical servers, and with several DB mailstore, if I select one of the physical server, and one of the D mailstore, will this be affected when the DAG is activated?
    Thanks

    Hi Yancy,
    If you're referring to integrating Microsoft Exchange 2010 with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 5.x for voicemail purposes, via a SIP Trunk, then you could certainly have a go at it (a Media Termination Point would be required and the codec would be G.711).   However, I'm not aware of anyone having properly tested it with CUCM 5.x; given that it's not having software maintenance releases written for it anymore.   CUCM 5.0 stopped having software maintenance releases written for it in June 2009, and CUCM 5.1 in February this year.
    The following Tech Tip is likely to assist:

  • Can't Restore Exchange 2010 Mailbox DB from HP Data Protector backup

    I'm trying to implement Exchange 2010, but I won't feel comfortable moving many users to it until I've successfully restored a mail database from tape backup.  So far, this hasn't worked out so well.  I'm using HP Data Protector for my backup solution.
    Here's what I've done:
    1.  In DP's "Restore" GUI, navigated down to the MS Volume Shadow Copy Writers entry, then selected both "Files" and "Logs" from the DB's entry under Microsoft Information Store.  I'm not restoring any of the other Writers.  So that I don't have to take down Exchange, I'm restoring them to a temporary restore location.
    2. After the restore completes, I go to the temporary restore location on the server and run eseutil /mh on the database, which returns a "Dirty Shutdown" db status.
    3.  Since I have the log files, I attempt to repair using eseutil /r E01 in the log files' path.  This generates "Operation terminated with error -1216 (JET_errAttachedDatabaseMismatch, An outstanding database attachment has been detected at the start or end of recovery, but database is missing or does not match attachment info) after 10.608 seconds."
    Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong with this recovery?  If my steps are incorrect I'd love to know, as HP's documentation for restoring Exchange 2010 is very young and not terribly useful.  My ultimate goal is to be able to restore a database from DP's tapes and bring it back online on the Exchange 2010 server.
    Thanks! 
    Thanks!

    Hi Ben,
    We backup our primary database (Ex Writer) and always with full backup (DB+LOGS). When we restore we restore to alternate location, then manualy copy db file and everything from restored log directory to one folder (for example: d:\restore_DB1). At this
    stage DB is in dirty shutdown state. Then we run (in folder where we copied db file and log files) 
    Eseutil.exe /R E00 /D
    it takes a couple of seconds (160GB file) and the db is in clean shutdown state. Then we do:
    New-MailboxDatabase -Name “Restored DB” -Server MBOX1 -EDBFilePath “D:\Restore_DB1\DB1.edb”
    -Logfolderpath “D:\Restore_DB1” -Recovery
    and
    Mount-Database “Restored DB”
    now we can restore single mailbox or even single item from mailbox with:
    1: whole mailbox with overite the destination
    Restore-Mailbox –Identity “USERNAME” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB”
    2. whole mailbox to alternate location (new folder in another mailbox)
    Restore-Mailbox –Identity “EXISTING MAILBOX TO RESOTRE TO” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB” –RecoveryMailbox “MAILBOX DO BE RESTORED
    FROM BACKUP” –TargetFolder “NEW FOLDER IN EXISTING MAILBOX”
    3. the same as 2 but single item with MEETING in email subject
    Restore-Mailbox –Identity “EXISTING MAILBOX TO RESOTRE TO” –RecoveryDatabase “Restored DB” –RecoveryMailbox “MAILBOX DO BE RESTORED
    FROM BACKUP” -SubjectKeywords "MEETING" –TargetFolder “NEW FOLDER IN EXISTING MAILBOX”

  • Removing Exchange 2010 from AD

    Hi
    We have moved all our mail into Office 365 Exchange. We still need to run AD locally and will keep the DC's  I need to shutdown the Exchange server, however if I do I need to understand how this may effect the Active Directory in the respect of setting
    up users etc. I guess I am guessing that AD will complain that it can not find the Exchange Server when we add or remove users fro the AD?
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    As far as I know, after upgrading to on-premise Exchange server and working well for a period of time in coexistence, we can remove the legacy Exchange server.
    The Exchange users in AD still have mailbox since we move mailboxes to new server. In this case, it doesn’t have any difference through AD.
    For more information about removing Exchange 2010, you can refer to the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332361(v=exchg.141).aspx
    However, since the issue is related to Exchange online, I recommend you ask for help on our Exchange online forum:

  • Outlook 2007 Clients Cannot Access Free/Busy Calendar info. for Exchange 2010 Mailbox

    Hi:
    I have Outlook 2007 clients that cannot access Free/Busy Calendar info. for Exchange 2010 mailboxes.  They receive error like "...you do not have appropriate permissions..."
    If those same users logon to a machine running Outlook 2010 then they can view the free/busy info. of the other user's mailbox, so I believe the permissions are set correctly on the mailbox to allow the viewing.
    Any insights are greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Hi Herman,
    As you said, it seems users have proper permissions on mailbox.
    Please make sure users has Reviewer permission on Outlook 2007.
    Please try to run Outlook 2007 under safe mode or re-create profile.
    Also try to turn Outlook 2007 to Exchange Online mode from Cached mode.

    I am now unable to remove the installation, I get the following error:

  • Removed Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8; some clients still having Outlook issues

    We have removed Exchange 2010 SP3 Rollup 8 and rebooted the Exchange servers; but some Outlook clients are still experiencing the issues where calendar appointments can't be saved. They get "the item cannot be saved to this folder. The folder was deleted
    or moved or you do not have permission." Then "the operation failed". Everyone has created new Outlook profiles. This fixes some computers; but not all. This is happening on Windows 7 with Office 2010 and Windows 8.1 with Office 2010.
    Does anyone have a fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi Mary,
    Is there the same issue when using OWA ?
    If OWA is ok, except recreate outlook profile, I also recommend you try moving mailboxes to another database and check if any helps.
