Is it possible to migrate Small Business Server 2008 to Exchange 2013 install on it's own member server?

Trying to figure out of migration to Exchange 2013 is possible on a existing SBS 2008 with Exchange 2007. If it's possible, is it support by Microsoft as well?
Thank you!

Are you planning to get rid of the SBS server or you would like to keep it as a DC, DHCP, DNS, and SharePoint server?
You should be able to upgrade to Exchange 2013, but there are more details to consider. The following six part series outlines this process:

Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 Migration from SBS 2011

Server UpgradeI'm migrating an SBS 2011 server to a new machine with Server 2012 R2 and a Hyper-V server running Exchange 2013. I've set up the new machine, all is running well in a test environment. I now want to migrate the old server to new. These are the steps I'm going to take and I wanted advice for any modifications or errors. 1. Demote DC on Server 2012 that I set up to test. 2. Join new Server 2012 to existing SBS 2011 domain. 3. Promote Server 2012 to DC. 4. Join the Hyper-V Server 2012 to the Server 2012 domain.5. Migrate Exchange 2010 on the SBS 2011 Server to Exchange 2013. 6. Transfer FSMO role from SBS 2011 Server to Server 2012 DC. I'll copy shared data files using robocopy.The only things I'm not sure about is the FSMO order, when to do that and the fact that I already have Exchange 2013 installed in the test...

I recently acquired a SuperMicro chassis that has a SAS2 expander backplane. It has SFF-8087 ports on it.http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/BPN-SAS2-846EL.pdfI made a post on another forum and someone mentioned that the card couldn't be used with that backplane since it's a SATA controller, however, the backplane is both SAS and SATA device compliant, it's only the RAID controller, as far as I know, that is a "SATA II" controller, and not a SAS controller.So, I couldn't find anything in the official documentation of this controller on whether or not it was able to control SAS devices. The card itself has a 3 SFF-8087 ports though, couldn't this theoretically still be used with a SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 cable(seen below)since the backplane is a SAS/SATA backplane?...

Upgrade DTSX packages from VS 2010 with SQL Server 2008 to VS 2013 and SQL Server 2014

Hello everyone,
I’m very new to SSIS world. I’ve been assigned a task to upgrade the existing packages running in VS 2010 with SQL Server 2008 to VS 2013 and SQL Server 2014. And then submit the migration report to my client.
On very quick search at Google, I've found the following link. It seems like I just need to open the existing SSIS project in VS 2013 and follow the wizard.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280547.aspx
Can anybody please advise, are there any other things need to be taken care while doing this up gradation process?
Please share your experience.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Arthur,
Thank you for the response.
I just got an access of the packages. They are of VS 2008 and not 2010.
Do you know how to upgrade VS 2008 packaged to VS 2013?
When I tried to open the solution file in VS 2013, it says "incompatible".
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Windows Server 2008 doesn't show install date

Windows Server 2008 doesn't show install date for applications and update. It only shows "Unspecified", at the very top.<img alt="" src="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/286394"

In Programs and Features, you can have more options by right click on the tabbed window showing Name, Publisher and Installed on. May be you can check that once otherwise try to reinstall the features using Turn Windows features on /off.

Some help with migrating exchange 2010 to exchange 2013 + installing another exchange 2010 to be edge-forefront-proxy server

Hi guys (and girls)!
Hear me up. The idea is like this:
A friend of mine has currently Exchange 2010 SP3 in his environment with Forefront Protection installed on it. As we all know Forefront Protection is discontinued in Exchange 2013 environment because Exchange 2013 on-premisses is using integrated tool for
doing that, but a friend of mine would really like to stick with Forefront Protection because it is "much better tool" then integrated stuff in 2013.
Ok, so here's the idea. Exchange 2010 SP3 with Forefront is installed on Phisical machine (so, not virtualized) on 2008 r2 std OS. We decided to move to Exchange 2013 because we wanted to achieve DAG on Exchange 2010 but we realized that is not possible
because 2008 R2 STD OS does not support failover-clustering functionality, but you are able to achieve that on newer OS for example 2012? Ok, so we bought another server, where we are planing to install Vmware Esxi and put two virtual machines on it.
One Will be 2012 r2 STD OS with Exchange 2013 on it, the other Will be 2008 r2 STD with Exchange 2010 Edge role + Forefront on it. We are planing to move Exchange 2010 production server to virtual machine Exchange 2013, and newly virtual machine
with Exchange 2010 edge server will only be "a kind of Proxy server with Forefront functionality". What concers me?
Should we install Exchange 2010 edge transport 1st, or Exchange 2013? I think I have read somewhere after you put Exchange 2013 in production you are "unable" to install any previous Exchange versions is that true?
One more question about what happens after you install another Exchange 2010 with Edge role in production enviroment? Does installation effects a production enviroment, let's say we do just a clean installation of Exchange + ran updates?
Which roles do you need to install on Exchange 2010 to achive Edge role? Do you need to have all the roles install for having Edge server (mailbox, hub,cas?).

already answered by PS CL above
One more question about what happens after you install another Exchange 2010 with Edge role in production enviroment? Does installation effects a production enviroment, let's say we do just a clean installation of Exchange + ran updates?
No it does not as long you don't make any changes on send/receive connector and do the EdgeSubscription. As soon as you do the Edge subscription there will be send/receive connector created, so pay attention how to setup the Edge Server.
Which roles do you need to install on Exchange 2010 to achive Edge role? Do you need to have all the roles install for having Edge server (mailbox, hub,cas?).
Just install the Edge Transport Server and make sure you install ADLDS services.
as you have mentioned you are doing to install both Mailbox and Edge server on the same VMware - it is a single point of failure.

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

This great blog entry titled
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

Hi cjrinpdx,
According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
The following blog is for your reference:

Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

Issues with old calendar items after migration from SBS2008R1 to Windows 2012R2+Exchange 2013

Hello,
After migrating a customer from Windows Small Business Server 2008 R1 to Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (DC) and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 & Exchange 2013 there are a few issue regarding
the GAL and old migrated calender items that we are unable to resolve:
Old calender items which were Exported to PST when the Server 2008 R1 environment was still live were imported to the new mailbox of the user, located on the Exchange 2013 mail database. This
seemed to be working just fine.
The problems arise when a user tries to edit or re-send an old calender item. There actually are 2 problems:
1. When resending an old calender item, OLD GAL entries are used (even when re-entering the contact details) and the emails are send to nobody and you get the mail back from postmaster
2. When updating an old calender item you get an error that you do not have permissions, probably because you are NOT the 'old' Exchange user.
Thanks in advance!

Did you use Exmerge or similar to export?
You may have an issue like that explained here.

Migrate to Windows 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 SP1 using database portability

Hi, I'm planning to migrate from Exchange 2013 SP1 running on Windows 2012 to Exchange 2013 SP1 on Windows 2012 R2.
Is it possible to use database portability to move the databases from the exchange installation on win 2012 to the new installation on Win 2012 R2? This would save a great deal of time not doing the mailbox moves.
I've searched similar cases but couldn't find any, all speak about disaster recovery and database portability but I've found no articles that uses the migration scenario.
Would it be possible to do and if so, what would the steps be? Do I need to delete the database from the source server, move the database files to the new server and mount them and relocate the mailboxes? Or should I dismount the database on the source server,
move them to the new server and mount them and relocate the mailboxes?
Frank.

Hi,
According to your description, I recommend you consider using DAG to achieve your requirement.
The following steps for your reference:
1.Prepare a new server which installed windows 2012 R2 for Exchange 2013 mailbox server.
2.After you deploy Exchange 2013 Mailbox servers, you can create a DAG, add Mailbox servers to the DAG, and then replicate mailbox databases between the DAG members.
3.After replication, you can mount all the databases on the new server.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

This no way a resolution. This won't work at all as Both OS will be different and you can't form the Cluster.
Please Unmark it!

Migrating a mailbox cross forest from exchange 2013 Sp1 to exchange 2010 SP2 Update rollup 8

I can migrate a mailbox fine from exchange 2010 sp2 update rollup 8 to exchange 2013 sp1 or Cu2.
I was testing today migrating cross forest from 2010 sp2 udpate rollup 8 back to exchange 2010 sp2 but I get the below error. Is this even possible? I cannot find any documentation on this scenario yet.

Hi Steve,
I'm a little confused what you are saying. Here is my understanding:
When you migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2013 back to Exchange 2007, the above error occurs.
If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
For migrating mailboxes back to Exchange 2007, there is a simple and straightforward method. Please use the New-MailboxExportRequest cmdlet to convert all mailboxes into pst files. And then use the Import-Mailbox cmdlet to import all pst files into Exchange
2007.
Hope it helps.

Migrate Office 365 To On-Premise Exchange 2013

hello
My client attempts to migrate the mailboxes hosted from Office 365 to Exchange 2013 on-premise hosted in the client's company.
However, despite all attempts , it appears that no procedure works correctly. All's time , something wrong appears Inside the process.
Indeed, on Office 365 we don't see the servers in our on-premise exchange 2013.
the Exchange Hybrid are set correctly and to exchange 2013 migration attempts to run Office 365. (MRS proxy select)
All servers are in the same Update. My client can't update with the last CU6 all server and want to stay with the CU3
Thanks for your read and for your help
Best regard
Alexis

Bonjour,
J'ai deja réalisé ce type de mission, si celle-ci est tout à fait possible en utilisant uniquement les outils intégrés à Exchange, elle nécessite beaucoup de préparation, notament en terme d'AD, et selon la configuration dans laquelle vous êtes, peut etre
*non* transparente pour vos utilisateurs.
" My client can't update with the last CU6 all server and want to stay with the CU3"
C'est par contre un point plus que géneant, le CU3 n'est plus supporté par MS, la compatibilité avec O365 n'est donc pas garantie.
Si vous souhaitez un echange plus sérieux sur ce sujet, vous pouvez me contacter.

Migrate from Zimbra Open Source to Exchange 2013

Hi there,
I am currently using Zimbra email client and I am considering switching to Exchange 2013, is there a tool which can seamlessly allow migration of all user accounts and mailboxes from Zimbra to Exchange?

Hi Adam,
Base on my knowledge, there are no tools to make a direct migration from Zimbra to Exchange 2013 Server, however , you can consider to use the following methods:
1.
If there are a large number of mailboxes in Zimbra, you can use the
Microsoft Transporter Suite to migrate
mailboxes from Zimbra to Exchange 2007 at first, and then make the final transition to Exchange 2013 since Transporter Suite that is only supported in Exchange 2007 and the previous version.
2.
If just a small number of mailboxes in Zimbra, you can configure outlook for all Zimbra users, export data into PST file, and then you can use “Import-Mailbox” cmdlet to
import all PST files back to newly created users’ mailboxes on the exchange 2013 server
Notes: Either way, please play the method in a lab environment to familiar with it

Windows server 2008 R2 x64 Authentication failure while try to access Windows server 2003 R2

Hello,
I try to access Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard from Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 standard using integrated windows authentication . And because my application tries to read SQL server i'm getting and error that user is not trusted. Then I tried to open a
simple shared folder on 2003 and none of the users is able to do it. Both servers are part of common workgroup in the same IP range. Using domain is not an option. Migrating 2003 to 2008 is not an option either. The specific DB provider I have to use
supports only windows authentication, so creating user into SQL server is not an option too. I have tested many applications and cases which requires/uses windows authentication and non of the manage to connect.
Any help is very welcome because things are urgent!
Authentication failure

That method in workgroup mode may be a problem.
