    Vien H. Lim

    Hi Vien,
    Have you checked Martina's suggestion?
    If the issue persists, I would like to clarify the following things for further research:
    1. Please check if there exists DAG in your Exchange 2013.
    2. Please check if the directory 'D:\Logs\DB01' exists.
    What's more, I recommend you to use the ESEUTIL/mh cmdlet to check the database status when you create a database.
    Hope it helps. If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,
    Amy

    Any advice please !!

    I can't answer your question but I had a similar issue when I was trying to move our mailbox database off the C: drive.  Our environment still has an Exchange 2007 server in it and when I was trying to move the database on the 2013 server, I would get
    error messages saying the database does not exist.  It seemed like it was trying to move the database on the 2007 server from the similar error messages that I was getting.  To get around it, I deleted the database and created a new one on the drive
    where we wanted it.
    I discovered this when I was configuring the Antispam settings.  I deleted our 2007 settings, added them to the 2013 shell, the settings appeared on our 2007 server.  The shell on 2013 was making changes to 2007.
    I'm not sure if there is a "Get|Set or New" command that I/we should be using when this happens.  Or maybe my issues will be fixed if I just remove the Exchange 2007 server?  I'm not ready to do that yet because I can't configure the spam filtering
    on 2013 yet with its shell not being able to make the changes that we need.
    I don't know if your environment is in coexistence mode like mine.
    Hopefully someone else out there has an answer or can tell us when/how the shell can make the appropriate changes to the 2013 server.  Does this happen after the 2007 server is removed?

    so we're having the same issue. Installing Exchange 2013 across 2 sites in a coexistence 2007/2010 environment. Everything on one site (3x Exchange servers) installed perfectly, but only 1x Exchange servers on other site installed. Remaining 2x Exchange
    servers gave the same error that Harry had. Any ideas? I checked OAB and all mailboxes had a default OAB assigned already. looked through the logs and found this in case it helps:

    Hello,
    Please make sure you do exchange server upgrading or a clean exchange 2013 installation. If you do a upgrading, please refer to the similar thread to assign a database to the arbitration mailbox "SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}".
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/239cb4a6-4a07-4b9a-800c-974573bbff32/error-installing-step-12-mailbox-role-service-on-exchange-2013-cu2?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
    Please make sure you have these permission "Schema Admins, Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins" to install exchange 2013 server.
    If this is a clean exchange 2013 installation, please try to recreate the system mailbox to check the result.

  • Outlook password prompt for mailboxes on Exchange 2013 CU1

    I migrated a few users from our Exchange 2007 SP3 Update 10 server to Exchange 2013 CU1. Now in Outlook they are getting a password prompt, and it won't accept their password. Our public folders are still on Exchange 2007 if that makes a difference.
    I tried running 
         Test-OutlookConnectivity -GetDefaultsFromAutoDiscover:$true
    but it says it doesn't recognize the parameter -GetDefaultsFromAutoDiscover:$true
    Here's the values for Get-OutlookAnywhere:

    Some additional information:
    This is a clean installation of Exchange 2013 in a forest that has never had exchange.
    The domain and forest preparations run without errors and are at functional level of 2003.
    The Exchange server has all prerequisites installed for a Mailbox server role and is running on a VM with Server 2012 as the OS.
    This error occurs on other VMs as well that we are trying to implement as mailbox servers in the same forest.
    I am running the installation as an enterprise, schema, domain admin.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Yes.  I cleaned out Exchange with ADSIEdit so I could re-run the Prepare Schema, domain and all domains and then re-ran setup to show the output here.  But the install still failed.

    IPv6 adapter disabled is a lot of times the issue.  So the adapters are set to DHCP even though there's no IPv6 address for it to grab.  The 2008 R2 servers that I'm trying to install Exchange 2013 on are VMs on ESX.  Will the
    install fail even if it offers to pick up the installation where I left off?  Do I need to completely start from scratch?  Any help would be wonderful!

    Hi,
    Please verify whether the port 3268 listen on DC.
    Please try to enable GC role on all DCs.
    Then restart Exchange server, try to find whether Event 2080 exists with all DCs.
    Then try to re-install Exchange Server 2013 CU7.

  • How to to make Cluster between two server 2012 Datacenter with share storage and Hyper-V role then install Exchange 2013 on each server datacenter then make DAG between Exchange servers

    Dears,
    I have IBM Flex server with built in storage,  
    HOW to to make Cluster between two  server 2012 Datacenter with share storage and Hyper-V role then install Exchange 2013 on each server datacenter then make DAG between Exchange servers?
    If there any prerequisites of the Share storage types ?and any configuration guide to deploy Cluster between two Server 2012 datacenter ?

    Microsoft Failover Clusters require shared storage.  If you wish to create a failover cluster with local storage, you need to use third party software to mirror the disks and present it to the hosts (siog.com, datacore.com, starwind.com).  If you
    use third party software, you will need to follow their instructions for configuring the environment.
    Questions on how to configure Exchange environments are better asked in an Exchange forum.

    Hi Deepak,
    From the error description, I would like to clarify the following things:
    1. Please ensure that IPv6 on the network adaptor is turned on.
    2. Please check if the account that you used to install Exchange has necessary permissions to perform the installation.
    3. Make sure that DNS is configured correctly.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.
    If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,

    Hi
    Remove thinking of SBS server because this part might scare you . It is just the same process of migrating it from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 . You just need both the server operating smoothly until this migration is complete.
    First Make sure you're running Rollup 10 of SP3 for Exchange 2007 and that you have atleast Exchange 2013 CU1  else the installation won't proceed further.
    You need to have a seperate box for installing Exchange 2013.
    I would recommend you to follow this artilcle which has clear cut information

  • Re-install Exchange 2013

    I started a basic install of Exchange 2013 on Windows 2012 on a network with an existing Exchange 2007 (SBS 2008) org.
    Things went well with prerequisites and AD Prep but the actual install ended up freezing up. I ran it on a VM with 2GB RAM and all I can guess is that services couldn't start etc with only that much RAM. I did the install through a remote desktop session
    and when I returned after kicking off the install process that session was completely frozen up with a black screen. All I could do was reboot the server. I noticed messages that implied the completely new/blank Exchange install was unhappy with 2GB so I raised
    it to 10GB, but still things just didn't work. Most significantly I couldn't even load the Management Console replacement web site. I just would get 404 not found.
    Thinking the original install never completed properly I simply deleted the VM, re-created a new one with the same config (and 10GB RAM) with the same name, joined the domain, installed pre-requisites and re-started the install, but now I'm getting
    "Exchange Server in an inconsistent state. Only disaster recovery mode is available. Please use Setup /m:RecoverServer"...
    Of course now I get other errors because "Disaster Recovery setup needs access to the mailbox database drive (prior install location)" etc. and of course I have no backups or anything because there was nothing but deployed install media on the
    prior server.
    How do I re-install? Do I need to clean up AD references to the prior install?
    Regards,
    Steve Ware

    Hello,
    Yes. You should check if the uncompleted exchange server is in AD. If it is in AD, please remove it and then reinstall it.
    And you can remove the VM, and create a new VM, and then install new exchange server whose name is different from the uncompleted exchange server.

  • Cannot install Exchange 2010 after installing Exchange 2013

    Hi,
    I have the current setup as explained below.
    Exchange 2010 SP3 Version 14.3 (Build 123.4)
    I installed Exchange 2013 as well to the setup. After installation everything was fine, but my backup solution was not as good enough to support Ex2013. So, I had to roll back. I uninstalled Ex 2013.
    On the new server (on which I actually installed EX 2013) I tried installing Ex 2010 but it failed. But, when I execute Get-ExchangeVersion I get these two.
      AdminDisplayVersion                     ExchangeVersion
      Version 14.3 (Build 123.4)              0.1 (8.0.535.0)
      Version 14.0 (Build 639.21)             0.1 (8.0.535.0)
    The first one is the live Exchange 2010 ( The first one which we had). When I try to run the setup, I am getting the following Error.
    Error:
    The following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); get-OfflineAddressBook -DomainController $RoleDomainController | where { $_.IsDefault } | Enable-OabWebDistribution" was run: "Object is read only because it was created by a future version
    of Microsoft Exchange: 0.20 (15.0.0.0). Current supported version is 0.10 (14.0.100.0).".
    What can I do now? My intention is just to create another Exchange Server for redundancy. I only have one EXchange server now. I tried installing EX 2013, and it seems not suit me because of backup issue. What I have in my mind is to get 2 Ex 2010 Servers.
    Should I try uninstalling EX 2010 and installing it from the beginning on the new EX Server?
    Thanks

    Hi Steve,
    I have the same situation, On a new server (on which I actually installed EX 2013) I tried installing Ex 2010.
    In the Client Access Role install setup, I getting:
    Error:
    the following error was generated when "$error.Clear(); get-OfflineAddressBook -DomainController $RoleDomainController | where {$_.IsDefault} | Enable-OabWebDistribution" was run: "Object is read only because it was created by a future version of Microsoft
    Exchange: 0.20 (15.0.0.0). Current supported version is 0.10 (14.0.100.0)
    Admin Display Version
    server 1 version 14.3
    server 2 version 14.0 (Client Access Role Error)
    how can I resolve this error?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    From the description of the error “ Microsoft.Exchange.ProvisioningAgent.RusException:  Failed to generate proxy address. Additional information: General Error. ”
    Appeared to have some valid proxy address. Please check if there are invalid characters in the admin account proxy address.
    To find the proxy address, take the following steps:
    Open ADUC, Click View in the menu then click
    Advanced Features.
    Navigate to yourOrganization >> Users, choose the admin account, right-click to
    Properties.
    Under Attributes Editor tab, find the proxyaddresses
    Attribute, then check the address.
    Hope this will be helpful for you.
    Best Regards.

  • Problem with Exchange 2010 Public Folders after installing Exchange 2013 in my environment.

    I currently have an Exchange 2010 server with all the roles installed.  Before installing Exchange 2013, I was able to launch the Public Folder Management Console but now I get an error.  When I installed Exchange 2013, I got an error saying I
    had a instance of Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003, but I didn't have any of these servers left.  There was still something in AD referencing my old server. I went into ADSIedit and deleted an old administrative group.  This deletion caused my access
    to my public folders to get messed up.  I followed this article, http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766, and I was able to gain access back in my outlook client but I still can't see the public folders in OWA.  I also get this error when
    trying to access either Default or System Public Folders.  "Cannot complete the operation because there isn't an available public folder database on server 'ExchangeServer'. It was running the command 'get-publicfolder - getchildren -identity '\'
    -server 'ExchangeServer' "
    My Public Folder Database exists and is mounted.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Belinda,
    Thank you for responding.  Yes you do understand my problem correctly.  One correction is that after deleting this entry in ADSIEdit, we couldn't access public folders at all either in Outlook or OWA.  I followed these steps in the below article:
     http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766
    After following these steps and recreating the entry on FolderHieachies in ADSI edit, I was able to gain access to the public folders again through Outlook, but still can't see them in OWA and can't access them in Public Folder Management Console.
    Here are the results to your requests:
