Issue removing Exchange 2007 after migration to 2013
After migrating relatively successfully from Exchange 2007 to 2013, I am in the process of trying to decommission and uninstall 2007 from the servers. Through this process I have been following a guide found
here. Our old 2007 servers have been off for over two weeks and it seems like a good time to remove them and reclaim some space. I removed the old OAB and Mailbox DB, however when I attempted to remove the Public Folders so I could take the PF DB out the
following error appeared.
Get-PublicFolder : There is no existing PublicFolder that matches the following Identity: '\'.
I know that there are Public Folders existing as I can see them when I run Get-PublicFolderStatistics:
I've been back and forth across the forums and web and haven't been able to find a solution to this. Ultimately we never have and are not interested in using public folders but they were originally configured when we had a contractor move us from 2003 >
2007 several years ago. What I would like is to remove all traces of this garbage and just be able to uninstall/delete the old servers and move on with life.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Have you tried to use Exfolders tool to remove PF?
More details about exfolders tool refer to the following article:

Thanks.

Hi,
We just installed an Exchange 2013 server within an Exchange 2007 environment.
The Exchange 2013 (CU6) server will be used to setup a hybrid connection with O365, and move mailboxes to O365.
After installing the Exchange 2013 server it isn't possible anymore to create/enable mailboxes on the Exchange 2007 server.
We end up with an error :
Mig1 TestAccount
Failed
Error:
The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error.
Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
Enable-Mailbox -Identity 'domain.be/customer/TEMP/Mig1 TestAccount' -Alias 'mig1' -Database 'Exchange2007\SG01\DB02'
When executed via EMS we receive this error :
The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration errorHi Lyncer
This error can be caused if the default Public Folder Database not being pointed to the exchange 2007 database which you are trying to create a new mailbox.
Also it can happen if System Attendant service is not running.
Troubleshooting steps:
1) Restart the System Attendant Service
2) Point the affected database to the default public folder
Follow the below steps to do that
Open EMC
Go to Organization Configuration > Mailbox.
Select the mailbox database that you want to change the default public folder database.
Right click the database and select properties
In <Mailbox Database Name> Properties, click the Client Settings tab.
Next to the Default public folder database box, click Browse.
In Select Public Folder Database, select the public folder database from the list of public folder databases, and then click OK.

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.Hi ,
Thank you for posting your issue in the forum.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Best Regards,

Remove Exchange 2007 from an Exchange 2013 coexistence.
Hey everyone,
I've just installed Exchange 2013 on a new server and all is working great. It is currently in coexistence with our old Exchange 2007 server. I've since shut the server down and Exchange 2013 has been working without issue. However, I haven't
been able to find any articles on this matter so I figured I would ask the question here.
How do you remove Exchange 2007 from the coexistence. Do I just uninstall Exchange 2007 from the old server and it will remove itself from the server and the domain? Any help/link on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
ChrisHi Simon,
I am about to do the same exercise as Chris, I just would like some clarity.
1) When you say mailbox Database, do you mean make sure there are no more mailboxes that you want to move over, or are you actually meaning delete the physical DB on the exchange 2007 server.
2) If there is no use of public folders does anything need to happen?
Thanks,

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.

Hi,
I just moved all mailboxes from exchange 2007 to Office 365 with Exchange 2010 Hybrid setup. I believe that all local Exchange 2007 contact list and Distribution Group are syncing from Dirsyc tool. It is no migration for this type object. From now, we will
decide to remove Exchange 2007 from network. What we need to do before to safety remove the Exchange 2007 Server ?
thanks
KeithHi Keith,
Agree with both MAS and Gulab Prasad.
Please shut down Exchange 2007 and monitor whether the new environment works well.
Then, please remove Exchange 2007 from a server by using Setup Wizard. Details to see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123893(EXCHG.80).aspx
(Optional) Last, remove the Exchange 2007 administrative group by using ADSIEdit. The Exchange 2007 administrative group is called
Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)
Thanks

Removing Public Folders after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013
Recently we migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We did not migrate Public Folders and are retiring them from Exchange altogether. I shut Exchange 2007 off for a couple of weeks to ensure 2013 functions properly and it does so we're
ready to decommission Exchange 2007. I was able to remove all the mailbox databases without a glitch. Using the EMC I click to remove the Public Folder database from Exchange 2007 and get the following message:
Error: The public folder database "server\storage group - Public Folders\ Public Folder Database" contains folder replicas. Before deleting the public folder database, remove the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database.
Any help appreciated.Hi Terry,
If you run the following command does it come back with any public folders?
Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server "SERVERNAME" | fl
If nothing comes back you can follow this guide to manually remove the public folder database (at your own risk) http://haythamalex.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/how-to-force-exchange-server-public-folder-removal/
Cheers,
Jack
I get alot of output from that command.

The Exchange 2007 server has cas,hub,mbx roles.
I need to delete the public folder database before uninstalling the Exchange 2007. There are no need to use the public folder database and the Exchange 2013 will become the single Exchange Server of the organization.
I thank you so much for your help and remain.

The homeMDB attribution for System Attendant Mailbox in Exchange 2007 has been added before opening the thread. It was empty, but now it is the DN of a mailbox database as described (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd535374(v=exchg.80).aspx)
As I am transitioning to a single Exchange server 2013 Migration I immagine I can dismiss the public folder database without migrating the system public folder to Exchange 2013. AM I right?
Of course in this situation the migration scripts will fail, so I cannot
I can delete the public folder database using adsiedit.msc, but this will be the last option as I do not want to cause any side effect. Do you agree?
I run the command

TS4136 Apple Mail ActiveSync issue during Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 migration
When customer configures the ActiveSync account on Apple Mail (using Exchange Server 2010 CAS array name) for the user whose mailbox is on Exchange Server 2007, they are not able to get any mail and account displays offline. It shows the mailbox empty as well, even though mailbox has the email items in it.
But when same account is configured using ActiveSync (using Exchange 2007 CAS Server name) it works fine.
ActiveSync & Web Services URLs for Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007 are given as below:

Let's check a few things in your server:
1. From the Organization Configuration - Client Access - Exchange Activesync policies - Default: Verify if the option "Allow non-provisionable devices" is ON.
2. From Server Configuration - pointing <YourExchange2010> - Certificates: Verify if your SSL certificate is assigned to IIS. (You should also be able to see this certificate from OWA https session)
3. The problem may also reside in iPhone outdated software, try to test activesync connection from iPhone with the latest OS version.
4. Take a look at logs in C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\ of Exchange 2010, those might give some more details on connectivity problems.
5. If you still experience such problems - post the ExRCA error report here.

Demoting and Removing Exchange 2007 Server
Oh, I mistakenly saw 2003, and I thought you were removing Exchange 2003. My bad.
Run the uninstaller on the old system. It will take care of the rest. It will probably error out and give you reasons, clean up the reasons and run the uninstaller again. Once it's uninstalled properly, then you can power off the server and everything should be good. Don't forget your send connectors. I forgot that in my travels once.At one of our locations we recently migrated all exchange mailboxes to a new Exchange 2007 on new OS platform, moving away from Server 2003. Everything to my knowledge has been migrated, users should be all connecting to new server, all connector headends have been updated, etc. As a test, I shutdown the old Exchange server (without uninstalling) but we ran into issues that day with Outlook constantly (every 5-10 minutes) asking for the user's password, slow loading of folder data, etc.; reboots/application restarts did not resolve. We turned the old Exchange server back on and all is now well. My theory is this is due to the schema still containing info about the old Exchange server. If I uninstall Exchange completely, thus removing it form schema, could I expect to have this issue resolved? Obviously I only get one chance on this, so...

Removing Exchange 2007 Server from Management Console List
Hello,
We have an organization with a single Exchange 2007 Server running in production. It is working fine.
However, we brought up another server (we'll call it the secondary server for purposes of this thread) and linked it into this organization several months ago. Our plans for this box changed and we have kept it powered off, unlicensed, and unused.
Now, when we manage our production server, the management console keeps complaining about how the secondary server is almost at the end of its trial period, needs licensed, etc.
Since we might or might not use the secondary server in the future, it is possible to "unlink" it (or set it dormant somehow) from the server list to stop the license warnings? Or is our only recourse to remove Exchange and take it down if we don't
intend to license it and bring it into production? Our hope is that it can wait in the wings until such time as we decide to user & license it.
What are the implications if we ignore the license warnings and continue not to use it? Will it impact management of the production server at all or just continue to annoy?
TIA, Tom W.
JTWHello,
"What are the implications if we ignore the license warnings and continue not to use it? Will it impact management of the production server at all or just continue to annoy?"
You should have all production servers licensed but after trial period expiration the server will have all Exchange capabilities and features. Also trial period expiration should not have any negative impact on your environment. The EMC will simply prompt
to license that server correctly.
"Our plans for this box changed and we have kept it powered off, unlicensed, and unused."
In my opinion it is bad idea to have Exchange server installed but powered off. Note that this server still resides as object in Active Directory and it may complicate any future modifications of your environment (migration to newer versions of Exchange
etc.). I think you should use this server to provide some kind of high availability (and provide proper license for it) or remove it completely.
Once again: trial expiration is not a problem from server's functionality perspective, Exchange server powered down - it can be a problem. -
Remove workbook template after migration
Hi @ll,
we have migrated all our workbooks fom 3.5 --> 7.0. In 7.0 we have created a new workbook template. How can I remove the old template from the workbook and replace it with the new one?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
FloHi Sunil,
As mentioned earlier, the problem is not with refresh. Its with loosing the format after the refresh. As a background, someone from my company had formatted all the 3.1 workbooks using Excel formatting options and they made few settings so that they won't loose the existing custom format. It worked well in 3.1. Now when migrated, the issue has started. When migrated to 7.0. style, the format is there.
It won't let you do anything unless u refresh the workbook with new variable values.
Once refreshed, the custom format disappears.
As a temporary solution, we are migrating the workbooks, copy each worksheet and perform a paste special on new worksheet. Then refresh the workbook(now we see a workbook without the custom formatting). Then copy the format(which was pasted earlier using 'paste special') and paste it on the refreshed workbook.
Then we have used 7.0 setting to keep the custom format.
So my issue is, we just want the format to be unlost even after the refresh(the first refresh) in 7.0.
Regards

Exchange 2007 mailbox migration question
Hi, I'm using Exchange 2007 and had most of my mailboxes are currently on a single mail server. I recently built two new mail servers and used CCR. I have 7800+ mailboxes and was told that when I move the mailboxes from the old mail server to the new
mail server that this will create a huge amount of additional transaction logs that wouldn't be cleared out until the next backup. We do nightly backup and have 1 TB of free space on our log drive. I can't find anywhere that documents that moving mailboxes
from one mail server to another would create additional transaction logs. I could understand the existing transaction logs would follow the mailboxes to the new mail server, but I don't see where it would create new transaction logs? I'm planning on moving
only 200-300 mailboxes a night, so this wouldn't happen all at once.
Any clarification would be helpful.
Thanks,
AndrewAgree with Cara on this and the transaction logs can be fairly hefty in size when migrating a bunch of data. One other option would be to;
1. do a backup of the associated stores/database right before migration.
2. then run on circular logging for those all databases within a storage group which will keep the logs in check
3. upon completion turn circular logging OFF, do a full backup and proceed along your way.
There is however some risk with using circular logging and you should read the articles below
http://exchangeserverpro.com/ems-enabledisable-exchange-server-2007-circular-logging/

http://blogs.technet.com/b/scottschnoll/archive/2011/06/27/circular-logging-and-mailbox-database-copies.aspx
Of course you could also keep things as they are and then monitor disk space and log volume during migration and as things rise Execute a Full backup to clear/truncate the logs. Technically its safer to do this then turn on circular logging but its
allot more resource intensive all the way around. Another option would be to schedule several full backups during the migration process, i.e. every NN hours etc and then the backups will happen automatically and all should be well as long as the
backups complete before the disk runs out of space from log file generation
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

Remove Exchange 2007 from AD (manually)
In the lab I had Exchange 2007 running and someone pulled my VM. It's not the end of the world because I'm done with what I was doing in 2007 however I've got other things running in the lab and I'd rather not rebuild the domain.
Does anyone know what the process would be to clean up AD (remove the Exchange org) without having the Exchange server to do an uninstall on? Can I Install the Exchange admin console on another box and than remove the mail attributes from the accounts that has them and just remove the Exchange Systems Object container in AD or is there more?
ErikI did run into one problem while trying to install RTM:

I was able to resolve the issue by launching adsiedit.msc (part of the support tools) and going to the Configuration partion and bringng up the properties for Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com
I edited the "othereWellKnownObjects" attribute to be "not set" (which it should be) by leaving it blank and clicking "add" (adding nothing) than applying the changes and re-running setup.
Kudos to this thread for the fix:

otherWellKnownObjects is a multi-valued object. You need to remove the bad value, NOT ALL OF THEM!!
