Impact for exchange server when schema master move

Hi team,
I had issue to my DC.
I have three DC one is holding all FSMO function. the others just additional DC of DC one. and last DC is have separate domain name
DC one ( that holding FSMO role) is reach tombstone liftetime, so I need to transfer all FSMO function into the additional domain controller.
the issue is, I had Exchange server pointing to tombstone DC. and my Exchange server cant recognize the additional DC ( the additional dc is fresh installed )
is there any issue with exchange server when I change FSMO into additional DC ?
thanks

One GC should be available at Exchange Site. For PDC migration you need to take extra care coz you have to configure the new PDC once again.

What is the impact on an Exchange server when moving FSMO role and schema master into another DC?

What is the impact on an Exchange server when moving FSMO role and schema master into another DC? What do we have to do on exchange after performing a such task?
I had 1 DC (Windows server 2008 R2), 1 Exchange 2010 SP3. I install a new DC (Windows server 2008 R2). I then move all the FSMO role including the schema master role into the NEW DC. I check to be sure that the new DC is a GC as well.
I shutdown the old DC and my Exchange server was not working properly and specially Exchange Management Shell. It start working again after I turn up the older DC.
I am wondering why Exchange did not recognize the new DC, even after moving all the roles on it.
I am looking to hearing from you guys.
Thanks a lot

if you only have 1 DC, you might need to cycle the AD Topology service after shutting the one down.
Also, take a look in the windows logs, there should be an event where Exchange goes to discover Domain Controllers, make sure both are listed there. You can probably force that by cycling AD topology (this will take all services down so be careful
when you do it)

Any known issue reported for "Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2"

Hello,
Currently our servers are running with "Exchange 2010 SP2 RU7", we are planning to update the Rollup version to RU8 for SP2.
Is there any knows issues reported for "Rollup 8 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2" till now ? is it safe to update the RU8 ?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41394

(1) I had to roll it back:
The rollup released Tuesday the 9th caused random problems with systems ranging from general slow down to operation failed errors. It didn’t impact everyone at once and seemed to take 48hrs for everyone to have a problem. Rolling
back the update and rebooting the server seemed to resolve the issue.
Issues reported before the general mailflow stopping for everyone:
Nothing major … an occasional operation failed when I hit send but, it will go thru after I hit the send button a couple of times.
A MICROSOFT OUTLOOK BOX APPEARS WITH A TRIANGLE WITH A ! INSIDE IT. THE MESSAGE SAYS THE OPERATION FAILED.
(2)
ANOTHER CODE APPEARED WHEN I TRIED TO SEND THIS E-MAIL SO I CLOSED OUTLOOK AND RE-STARTED OUTLOOK. THE MESSAGE READ, CANNOT CREATE THE E-MAIL MESSAGE BECAUSE A DATA FILE TO SEND AND RECEIVE MESSAGE CANNOT BE FOUND. CHECK YOUR SETTINGS IN THIS MICROSOFT
OUTLOOK PROFILE. IN MICROSOFT WINDOWS, CLICK CONTROL PANEL.CLICK USER ACCOUNTS AND THEN CLICK MAIL. CLICK SHOW PROFILE, AND THEN CLICK PROPERTIES.
When he tries to open an e-mail, he gets an error message.
If he tries to mark an e-mail unread, he gets a different message.
Thanks Ben

Uninstall Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2010

When one of our CAS servers got patched they installed Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2010 SP3.
Is it ok to unintall the Rollup 4 update? I am not able to update other servers for another month and I need all servers to have the same build.

Hi dirkbucket,
Yes you can go ahead and uninstall the rollup from the exchange server that got installed. This will not result any impact. Once uninstalled please perform complete reboot.
As uninstallation of patches is applicable till Exchange 2010 version on getting them reverted.
"To remove Update Rollup 3 for Exchange Server 2010 RTM, use Add or Remove Programs in
Control Panel. Then, remove update 981401."
Find the url for ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981401/en-us

Renewal of Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server until EOL

Hello,
We have a Open Value subscription for Forefront Protection for Exchange Server 2010 (FPE) running with an Exchange 2007 server and an Edge Server. We attempted to renew the subscription to FPE and were automatically upgraded to FOPE and now EOP.
Since FPE is not End of Life yet, might it be possible to renew FPE on premises until such time as the product goes End of Life?
thank you,
Dan

Hello,
FPE on premises was available only as a subscription license in OV, OVS. for subscription products thre is not possibility to renew th elicensing if is removed from product list.
you can purchase FOPE(in OVS) or EOP as online subscription. you can use also EOP for on premises Exchnage Server.
on Microsoft document we have th efollowing info:
The following are the primary ways you can use EOP for messaging protection:
In a standalone scenario   EOP provides cloud-based email protection for your "on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 environment, legacy Exchange Server versions,
or for any other on-premises SMTP email solution."
As a part of Microsoft Exchange Online   By default, EOP protects Microsoft Exchange Online cloud-hosted mailboxes.
In a hybrid deployment   EOP can be configured to protect your messaging environment and control mail routing when you have a mix of on-premises and cloud mailboxes.
note: EOP replaces Microsoft Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE). All FOPE customers will be transitioned to EOP, as described in the
Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE) transition center. EOP delivers the protection and control provided by FOPE, and also includes additional features.
What's new in Exchange Online Protection describes some of these features.
thanks

Expiration of "Subscription license of Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server"

We have "Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange
Server" running in the company. Now I face the expiration of "Subscription license of Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server".
I learned from
http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/09/12/important-changes-to-forefront-product-roadmaps.aspx that "... products will continue to be supported through that date (12/31/2015) in order to provide with customers sufficient
time to move to alternative solutions". My concern is, that Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server does not know about that grace period.
It claims:
Your Subscription license of Microsoft Forefront Protection for Exchange Server has expired. The product will continue to operate during the extended grace period
until 5/1/2013. Subsequently, scanner updates will be disabled and the product will operate with reduced functionality.
Is there a way to get a new license number? I called our software vendor, but Microsoft does not sell licenses anymore.
Thank you for your assistance.

Sizing IIS ARR for Exchange Server 2013

Hi Everyone,..
I planned to publish Exchange 2013 through IIS ARR server, but I've had trouble finding any data on CPU / memory usage for a dedicated ARR server based on Microsoft recommendation. There are 8000 users that will be access from ARR server.
Hopefully you can help for sizing so
there isn't bottleneck on that server.
Thanks
~IH~

Hi Irfan
The concurrent connections depends upon appConcurrentRequestLimit which has a default value of 5000. I think you need to increase this if in your case the concurrent connections exceed 5000

Why is installation file for Exchange Server CU7 much smaller than SP1.iso?

I was wondering why is the ISO-Image for Exchange Server 2013 with SP1 4.5 GB in size and the CU7.EXE only 1.6 GB? I thought CU7 contains everything SP1 contains. Is it because one is a disk image and an other an executable?

The EXE is compressed. When you extract it, it should be close to the same size (probably bigger) than the SP1 iso.

Forefront for Exchange Server

Before upgrading to Exchange Server 2013 we were using Exchange Server 2010 with Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server to protect our system from virus/ malware, it works effectively. After upgrading to Exchange Server 2013, the forefront Protection
2010 does not support Exchange 2013. I know that MS added anti malware function to Exchange Server 2013 but it does not work effectively.
So the question is: does MS has any other program instead of Forefront Protection 2010 which support Exchange Server 2013.

Hi,
You could have a look at Exchange Online Protection that hosted email filtering service.

Half the engines are not updating wanted to update Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server to newest sevice pack

Running forefront protection 2010 for exchange. The version of Exchange we are running is Exchange Server 2007 sp3 rollup 13. I am seeing that half our engines are not updating for forefront. Currently we are running version 10.1.0746 sp1 for Forefront.
I would like to get this up to the newest version which I think is SP2. Where can I download just the service pack 2 and will I have any problem with the version of exchange I am running. Thanks in advance for any help.

If the Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server can use for exchange server 2013?

if the Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server can use for exchange server 2013?

thanks for your reply!
what's protection software can use for exchange server 2013?
Hi,
Most (if not all) of the bigger vendors has a product that supports Exchange 2013, so look them up.
Exchange 2013 has some Anti-Spam and Anti-Malware Protection functionality that you can read about here:

Microsoft forefront protection 2010 for exchange server is unable to perform the requested function

I get the following error any time I try and change any setting:
Microsoft Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange Server is unable to perform the requested function. This may be becuase Microsoft ForeFront services are unavailable. Ensure that all Microsoft ForeFront services are running and that Windows Powershell is
functional.
I have installed the latest rollup for SEP. Rollup 5 I think. I have rebooted the server. I have checked the permissions and they are correct.
Any thoughts?

I posted a PowerShell-based workaround in the other thread:
