IIS SMTP instead of Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008

We have recently moved a client from Exchange 2007 on a 2008 Small Business Server over to Office 365. We would like to disable Exchange 2007 altogether in order to free up resources on an already overworked server. However, we have a couple of multifunction
devices that require an unauthenticated SMTP relay for email. I believe the easiest solution available to us is to enable SMTP in IIS and limit the relay to certain internal IPs. Assuming Exchange is fully disabled, would this be a viable solution? Given that
we are still running IIS internally, I would see this as a net gain in terms of system resources.

It is not possible.

Removing Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 (In an Exchange 2010 Coexistance Scenario) - In order to remove 2007 Mailbox Objects from Active Directory and remove the SBS2008 server completely

I'm trying to remove Exchange 2007 from an SBS 2008 server
(Server 2008 Standard FE). My ultimate goal is to completely remove the SBS 2008 Server from the network environment.
We have an Exchange 2010 Coexistence Scenario and Mailboxes/Public Folders/etc have been moved over to the 2010 mail server, on Server 2008 R2.
I have moved all Shares, FSMO roles, DHCP, DNS, etc over to their respective servers. We have two full blown DC's in the environment.
I'm ready to remove Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 and DCPROMO the server. I can NOT seem to find a TechNet article that shows me how
to proceed in this kind of scenario. I am trying to use the TechNet article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd728003(v=ws.10).aspx
This article references Disabling Mailboxes, Removing OAB, Removing Public Folder Databases, then uninstalling Exchange using the Setup Wizard.
When I go to Disable Mailboxes I get the following error:
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Disable' could not be performed on object 'Username (edited)'.
Username (edited)
Failed
Error:
Object cannot be saved because its ExchangeVersion property is 0.10 (14.0.100.0), which is not supported by the current version 0.1 (8.0.535.0). You will need a later version of Exchange.
OK
I really don't see why I need to Disable Mailboxes, Remove OAB and Public Folder Databases since they have been moved to 2010. I just want
to remove Exchange 2007 and DCPROMO this server (actually I just want to remove any lingering Exchange AD Objects referring to the SBS 2008 Server, using the easiest and cleanest method possible).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on your description, it seems that you are in a migration process (migrate SBS 2008 to Windows Server
2008 R2). Now, you want to remove Exchange Server and demote server. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.

Unrecognized certificate when Outlook 2010 tries to connect to Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008

Hi all,
I believe this is a security issue rather than a connectivity or configuration problem.
Running Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 trying to connect to Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008, I receive the following error:
"The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site"
When I view the certificate I see that it was issued to "zx-server" by "zx". This is NOT my domain CA nor is it a certificate I recognize. I use a self-issued certificate (i.e. issued by the SBS box). I also receive this certificate error when I browse to
the internal website (companyweb). No other computers on the network are seeing this behaviour.
I have checked the certificate stores in certmgr and I can't find any such certificate or CA. I have also searched the entire hard drive with no luck. I have run Kaspersky AV, Malwarebytes and MS Security Essentials several times but I can't find any malware.
I also recently installed Comodo Firewall (the problem began after this).
I need to find and remove the certificate and prevent it from being presented to me every time I try to connect to the server. All help, advice and suggestions appreciated.
Aide

Hi,
It’s really a common issue.
This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
You replace the default self-signed Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 certificate with a different certificate.
Note The Setup program in Exchange Server 2007 or in Exchange Server 2010 creates a default self-signed certificate when Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 is installed.
The common name on the replacement certificate does not match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the URL that is stored in the following objects:
o
The Service Connection Point object for the Autodiscover service
o
The
InternalUrl attribute of Exchange 2007 Web Service (EWS)
o
The
InternalUrl attribute of the Offline Address Book Web service
o
The
InternalUrl attribute of the Exchange unified messaging (UM) Web service
By default, the URL that is stored in these objects references the NetBIOS name of the server. For example, a URL that resembles the
following URL is stored:
https://NetBIOS_name.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
This may differ from the host name that is used in the FQDN of the replacement certificate. For example, the replacement certificate
may have an FQDN that resembles the following FQDN:
mail.contoso.com
This issue causes a name mismatch error to occur. Therefore, you receive the security warning message when you try to connect Outlook
2007 to the mailbox.
For more detailed information about the procedures to fix the issue, please refer to the following KB article:
Title: Security warning when you start Outlook 2007 and then connect to a mailbox
that is hosted on a server that is running Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010: "The name of the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site"

Outlook 2010 Will Not Connect to Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008 Server

Good Morning,
I have a user who cannot connect to the exchange server on SBS 2008 with outlook 2010. When they start outlook, it shows disconnected and will not connect for a minimum of 20 minutes to an hour. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
I have rebuilt their profile, but that does not fix the issue.
Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for posting in the forum.
Regarding the current issue, since you have recreated the user profile without any issue, I suspect that it’s mainly caused by the network issue. At this time, please first check the TCP/IP
configurations as Larry mentioned. Then, please also refer to the article below for details about how to troubleshoot Outlook connectivity issue.

Onsite Scanner Unable To Send Documents Through Exchange 2007 Server (SBS 2008)

I have an SBS 2008 server complete with Exchange 2007 in house and have configured Exchange 2007 to use the Exchange Online Protection (EOP) to process mail for malware, etc. This setup has worked great for the last year or so with no issues.
However, all of a sudden in the last couple of weeks our onsite copier can no longer send documents through email to anyone within the organization. The copier is a Kyocera TaskAlfa 3050CI and exists with the same network. The copier can scan
to a network folder without issue.
If I change the SMTP settings to use a gmail account instead of a local account I can send mail to outside email address. Even with this changed though I still can't send to our domain addresses.
I tried running a message trace from the Exchange Management Console but it doesn't find anything for hte given subject or date/time when I scanned the document.
I am not exactly sure what I should be checking or what piece of the puzzle is causing the problem here. Any ideas on what might be happening or how to correct it?
Thanks so much!

Hi,
Any update? Would you please let us confirm some questions as Howtodo mentioned. Please feel free to let us
know.
Based on your description, it seems that only the copier can’t send documents via emails. On your SBS 2008
environment, please check if some user accounts encounter the similar issue. In other words, did users also can’t send emails attached with documents? If the email was attached with a small size document, will the same result?
In addition, can find any relevant error or events?
Hope this helps.

Problem connecting to MS Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008

I am having problems connecting to Exchange via cfexchangeconnection. Our ColdFusion environment is CF9 Enterprise on Win 2008, and the Exchange host is Win SBS 2008 (which uses IIS7).
After having worked through the documentation and following all procedures outlined at
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec14f31 -7fed.html
plus googling intensively, we have the following method to test the connection
<cfexchangeconnection action="open"
         connection="thisExchangeConnection"
         server="portal.mydomain.com"
         protocol="https"
         formBasedAuthentication="true"
         formBasedAuthenticationURL="https://portal.mydomain.com/owa/auth/owaauth.dll"
         mailboxname="myMailBox"
         username="myUsername"
         password="myPassword" />
<cfdump var="#thisExchangeConnection#">
<cfexchangeconnection action="close"
         connection="thisExchangeConnection" />
The IIS7 implementation in SBS 2008 is quite a lot different to Win 2008, so there are some question marks around some steps in the above documentation. However, we have made sure that:-
1) you can use the credentials above to login via a web browser
2) WebDav is on in IIS
3) there is no IWA and forms based authentication is on
4) certificates are installed correctly on both the CF and Exchange servers
5) the myUsernameaccount has correct permissions in iis/owa/exchange
Despite this, the net result is always
Access to the Exchange server denied.
Ensure that the user name and password are correct.
From research it seems that a lot of people have issues where the underlying problem is actually an Exchange 440 timeout error where the password in the IUSR_<servername> and IWAM_<servername> (IIS/Active Directory) is out of sync.
I was pinning my hopes on the above being the problem but now I find that in SBS 2008 there is no IWAM_<servername> server account.
All this leads me to ask is SBS 2008 actually compatible with the cfexchange tags in CF9? There is nothing in the documentation that I can find that syays that it isn't, but given the amount of time we've spent on what should be straightforward I am wondering if we are on a hiding to nothing. Anyone from Adobe care to comment?
If anyone has managed to get this to work specifically with SBS 2008, or has any advice I'd be grateful to here from you.

Hi,
As said by Sneff , I would also recommend to enable Logging to get more detailed information. Also follow
Configuration of POP/IMAP on SBS 2008 Refer to :

Removing Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 after Migrating to Office 365 Mid Sized with DirSync and SSO

We have recently completed off a Migration of Exchange 2007 to Office 365 Mid Sized platform.
I now need to decomission the old SBS 2008 server as they have moved to a Windows Server 2012 R2 server setup for DC, File and print and application servers.
I need to know what are the ramifications of removing the Exchange 2007 server from the SBS 2008 server and will this remove the LegacyDN details from AD and cause any issues with internal emails between users using Outlook linked through to Office365.
I understand that after removing Exchange 2007 there will be no friendly GUI to update and maintain proxyAddress, targetAddress and LegacyDN addresses, I am comfortable doing this in ADSI edit or with a script.
Will this remove the x500 addresses relating to the on premise Exchange Orgainisation and just leave behind the x500 addresses for Exchange Labs which I assume is the x500 addresses for the Azure AD intergration for Office365.

Install problem Exchange SP3 on SBS 2008

I'm unable to install Exchange SP3 on SBS 2008 running Exchange 2007 SP2. I get the following error message:
Failed to initialize the logfile: Access to the path C:\ExchangeSetupLogs\ExchangeSetup.log is denied.
Setup will not continue.
Can anybody tell me how to solve this issue?

Hi Tom,
From your error description, I recommend you do the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Please ensure you run the setup as a local admin at first.
2. Please disable UAC and then install Exchange 2007 SP3. We cannot install Exchange 2007 while UAC is enabled.
Hope it helps.

Upgrade exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 on SBS 2008

Hi,
I need to upgrade EX07 to EX13 on small business server 2008, So I am looking for the documents or steps which will help in Implementation.
Thanks in advance!
-av

Hi,
Any update about the issue?
In-place upgrade is not possible. According to the MS article:
When you're upgrading your existing Exchange 2007 organization to Exchange 2013, there's a period of time when Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013 servers will coexist within your organization. You can maintain this mode for an indefinite period of time, or
you can immediately complete the upgrade to Exchange 2013 by moving all resources from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013, and then decommissioning the Exchange 2007 servers. You have a coexistence scenario if the following conditions are true:
Exchange 2013 is deployed in an existing Exchange organization.
More than one version of Microsoft Exchange provides messaging services to the organization

IIS/SMTP - emails are stuck in mailroot/Queue

we are using exchange 2010 for our messaging solutions. we also have once of our web server, for some our requirements our web application server need to send mails through our exchange server. to do that we had enabled the smtp
virtual server in IIS 6.0 , created the receive connector in exchange, I am trying from the website and all the mails which I am sending was stored in iis mail root queue folder. if any body help me to send that mails
to that recipients.

Hi Jaga,
I would absolutely not install IIS SMTP on your Exchange Server, Exchange uses its own SMTP engine since Exchange 2007 and does not rely on IIS anymore. You may find it is not working because it is trying to listen on the same port and IP address that the
Exchange Transport service is already running on.
Remove IIS SMTP from your Exchange 2010 Server. Then:
1. Either configure your web application to authenticate against your Exchange server, or
2. Allow the web application to be able to anonymously relay through your Exchange servers Receive Connector.

Moving from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (leaving the DNS Server for it's own dedicated server)

Hello! I am quite new to Exchange and Server management in general. I will do my best to explain my situation.
I am looking to move my Exchange server off of our DNS server. When we installed them on the same server, we did not have the funds to buy 2 separate servers. I am told that it is best to separate the two. I have followed the Microsoft instructions for installing
the prerequisites for Exchange 2013 on a 2012 R2 server, and i am at the point where it wants me to configure AD LDS. As I have active directory running on the current server, I was a little hesitant to just install it without understanding what i am doing.
After the AD LDS is configured, I believe i can move forward with installing Exchange 2013 (all 3 roles will be hosted on the new server), export the mailboxes from 2007 server and import them into the new Exchange 2013 server. After 2013 is up and stable,
I plan on removing 2007 from the old server (DNS server).
What are my next steps after importing the mailboxes? Am i missing important details that I need to change or migrate?
My biggest fear is that nothing works after the installation and moving the mailboxes over. For that case, it makes sense to keep 2007 installed as a fallback for when my installation fails and all i have lost is just my time :)
Current Server:
Windows Server 2008 Standard (64 bit)
1. Roles: Active Directory, DNS, IIS
2. Software: Exchange 2007
New Server:
Windows 2012 R2 Server
1. Roles: ???
1. Software to install: Exchange 2013
Thank you for any help you can provide!

These are good resources, but i am still caught up with the active directory issue. Am I able to keep the old Domain/DNS/Active directory on it's current server and move Exchange 2007 off onto a new server (with Exchange 2013)?
In the first example, he is moving everything (domain controller, exchange, users, etc) onto a different server and decommissioning it.I've been told that it would be better practice to keep the domain and exchange on 2 different servers. Is this true?
I go to run commands like:
.\setup /PrepareAD /OrganizationName: orgname /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
on the new exchange server, as a prerequisite and it doesnt recognize the command - even after following the steps before. Is this because the new server is not a domain controller? does it have to be? What are the best practices for setting up a server(s)
with exchange + domain controller?
Thanks for responding.

10.5.7 breaks RDC and Exchange 2007 connectivity?

I just installed 10.5.7 and now I find I cannot receive mail from our Exchange 2007 server (Entourage 2008) or connect to our file server (SBS 2008 standard).
I only found one mention of this anywhere else (http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20090515093340707) but it is only stating that the problem exists, not offering a solution.
Anyone else experiencing this? I can use OWA for mail if I have to, but I admin our office and RDC is invaluable to me. I will probably have to wipe/re-install our macs if a fix is not available for this.

I had a lot of problems with this and researched it as best I could. My only solution was to format clean, upgrade to 10.5.7, manually input realms, dns servers and domain controllers in System>Core Services>Kerberos, then perform the bind in the Directory Utility. After that all domain connections work, and admin level accounts can log in directly to the Mac. Our group policy for the standard user seems to prohibit the standard user from using a Kerberos login, and I have not figured out what setting is preventing it yet. When I say all connections work I mean Entourage is able to pull email from Exchange 2007 via kerberos login or OWA and RDC reaches all Windows servers I maintain. If you check macenterprise.org you will see many people having probles with AD binding in 10.5.7 and most of them have simply reverted to a previous version. After fighting with this machine for a good long time I think I'm going to revert to 10.5.6 because of poor video performance or just wait til the real headache, 10.6 in September

SBS 2008 to Exchange 2013 - "Create legacy Exchange host name"... Single External IP?

Migrating a customer to Exchange 2013 from SBS 2008.
Once of the Pre-reqs is to setup an external A record for legacy.customer.com for the external IP address of the old Exchange server.
The customer only has a single external IP address...
So what do I do for this external DNS of legacy.customer.com?

Hi Allister -
You shouldn't need an EXTERNAL dns entry for legacy. Here's how it works:
Client from outside -> External IP to Exchange 2013 (now here's where the interesting thing happens)
Exchange auto-magically proxies mailboxes on the old environment. Reason being: New Exchange Servers always know how to get to old servers. You just change all the internal URLs to legacy. (or you can even do oldmail., whatever you like) and since this information
is inside AD, Ex2013 will find it.
These are the URLs you need to change in 2007/2010
ClientAccessServer
webservicesvirtualdirectory
oabvirtualdirectory
owavirtualdirectory
ecpvirtualdirectory
ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory
AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory You can read more on how to set these here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5163.managing-exchange-2010-externalinternal-url-s-via-powershell.aspx
Here's the Million dollar question though: being SBS 2008, does this have exchange 2007 or 2010 on it? If it's 2010, you don't need the legacy namespace anymore. 2007, you do. Connect to https://ex2013server/owa and log into a mailbox on the 2010 environment.
If you can get there (you'll know cause it flipped over to a 2010 interface) then it's working.
A wise man is a fool, with a good memory.
