Mailbox enabled user to mail enabled user

As part of a migration I have a requirement to change mailbox enable users to mail enable users on exchange 2003. This would be to be able to drop the mailbox but keep all the mail related attributes including the target address. This will allow us to start
decommissioning servers and storage as the migration proceeds.

Hi,
Please refer to the following article:
Converting a Mailbox to a MailUser (and preserving your custom attributes)
What do you want the mail-user’s external email address to be?
The script takes the user’s mailbox alias and then appends @domain.com. You may wish to modify this with whatever their new external address has become.
hope this helps!
Thanks.

Creating MailBox-enabled Users In Active Directory Using JNDI

Thanks to the Various code samples i have come across in this forum i have been able to use the JNDI API to add a new user to the Microsoft Active directory.
The user account that was added using a combination of the various code samples was already enabled. but the problem is that the user does not have an Exchange MailBox created/enabled as well.
When attempts were made to access the users IMAP mailbox from an external webmail client, the following message:
"No Such Object On The Server"
Was Recieved.
I am wondering wether there is an attribute i am missing out. or something.
i would welcome any suggestions.
please treat as urgent.
thank you in anticipation
Below is the list of attributes i set:
BasicAttributes ba=new BasicAttributes();
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("userPrincipalName","[email protected]"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("sAMAccountName","fagu"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("title","Anyhow"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("mail","[email protected]"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("mailNickname","fagu"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("objectClass","user"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("displayName","Festus Agu"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("sn","Agu"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("userAccountControl","66048"));
//ba.put(new BasicAttribute("unicodePwd ","fagu"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("mDBUseDefaults","TRUE"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("homeMTA","CN=Microsoft MTA,CN=XSOCKET2,CN=Servers,CN=First Administrative Group,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=SocketWorks,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=socketworkscorp,DC=localdomain"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("msExchHomeServerName", "/o=SocketWorks/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=XSOCKET2"));
ba.put(new BasicAttribute("distinguishedName","CN=Festus"));

I am trying to create a MailBox enabled user in AD.I am setting all the attributes that are mentioned above.
Still i am unable to create a user.I guess i am messing up with password and getting error "javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: [LDAP: error code 53 - 00002077: SvcErr: DSID-031D0AAB,
problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0"
Is it that SSL is must to create a user.I saw a certificate on Exchange server.But i am using a simple protocal to create a user.
Please help me with the steps needed to create a user if i have to use SSL or is there is any settings to be turned on the server.
Thanks!!

Need rights to archive mailboxes of users who leave the company.

need rights to archive mailboxes of users who leave the company. Can anyone tell me to which group should I get added so that I can have permissions to archive mailbox ?

Hi,
Here is a duplicate thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/383b75df-907d-4a86-8e62-86b2a4b00fb7/how-to-provide-an-exchange-user-permission-for-mailbox-archieve-?forum=exchangesvradmin
If you want to access other's archive mailbox, you need to grant full access permissions to user primary mailbox first, then you can see personal archive from Outlook side.

Mailbox cleanup could not completely remove the mailbox for user

Hello.
I have Exchange 2010SP3 2 DAG member in cluster.
Recently i have warning in app log on a second DAG member:
Mailbox cleanup could not completely remove the mailbox for user GUID.Encountered error 0xfffffae8. Should this message continue to persist for the same mailbox, it may be indicative of a problem that requires further investigation.
I read all post wich say just unmount and mount database.
I can't find any user wich have guid containted in error.
So that i need to do?
Can i use StartDAGmaintenance and reboot a server,then after reboot use StopDAGmaintenance?

Hi,
I suggest to refer to this blog to find this mailbox by GUID.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ehlro/archive/2010/04/22/how-to-find-the-object-that-belongs-to-a-guid.aspx
Then check which database this mailbox belongs to, dismount and mount this database.
Best Regards.

Cannot link mailbox to user in accounts forest

original forest is a single domain configuration named mydomain.com. A new accounts forest was created named ad.mydomain.com. This domain is *not* a subdomain of the original domain, but a separate domain in a separate forest. This forest
also uses a single domain design. (It's a long story) All mailboxes reside in a single mailbox database on an Exchange 2010 server running on Windows Server 2008 R2. I've used the ADMT to migrate some test accounts to the accounts forest.
The migration works and the account appears functional, i.e., SID history migrated and the account can still get to shares and files on machines located in the resource forest.
I then use the disable-mailbox and connect-mailbox commands to setup the linked mailbox. My test account is user Joe Doakes (as listed in Get-MailboxStatistics), username is jdoakes, mailnickname is jdoakes and SMTP address is [email protected]
Here is the exact command I am using:
Connect-Mailbox -Identity "Joe Doakes" -Database "Mailbox Database 0448361937" -LinkedDomainController MEDTMPDC01.ad.mydomain.com
-LinkedMasterAccount "CN=Joe Doakes,OU=Testing,OU=Accounts,DC=ad,DC=mydomain,DC=com" -LinkedCredential $cred
to which the command shell replies-
Confirm
Do you want to connect this mailbox to user "mydomain.com/Testing/Joe Doakes" with the alias "JoeDoakes"?
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [?] Help (default is "Y"):
I've re-entered the credentials for the accounts forest twice. The canonical name above is the name of the now disabled account in the resource forest. If I select Y here, it reconnects to the old account and changes the alias from jdoakes
to JoeDoakes. This behavior is very strange. I have confirmed the distinguished name used is correct. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong?
TIA
Tom

I wanted to update this post in case anyone else runs into this problem. I wound up opening
a support ticket and spent a day and a half on the phone with Microsoft.
This issue was the result of several chance problems and my misinterpretation
of the command's results. To start off, when the command comes back to
say that it wants to connect the mailbox to "mydomain.com/Testing/Joe Doakes", it
really means that it is the disabled account in the Exchange (source) forest to which the
mailbox will be connected. It will be "linked" to the account in the accounts forest, but the command does not say that. This behavior is by design. We also found that I have to specify the alias in the command or a new alias is created that
concatenates the target account's first
and last names. Last, we found that running a number of
clean-mailboxdatabase commands was the trick that finally made things
work. To recap, the procedure that worked for me was:
1. Disable-mailbox to disconnect the user in the source forest
2. Verify the mailbox is actually disconnected. If it does not show up in the
Disconnected Mailbox node in the EMC, run the clean-mailboxdatabase "<database
name>" command
3. Disable the source forest user account.
4. Enter the account forest credential ($cred = get-credential)
5. Connect the mailbox to the linked account. This is the command that worked for me:
Connect-Mailbox -Identity "Joe Doakes" -Alias jdoakes
-Database "Mailbox Database 0448361937" -LinkedDomainController MEDTMPDC01.ad.mydomain.com -LinkedMasterAccount "CN=Joe Doakes,OU=Testing,OU=Accounts,DC=ad,DC=mydomain,DC=com" -LinkedCredential
$cred
6. The new account may not be able to get to the mailbox without running another clean-mailboxdatabase.
I hope this saves someone else a call to Microsoft.

Legacy mailboxes to user mailboxes

Hello,
1) I need to provid a list of legacy mailboxes. How can I get that lsit using pwer shell command?
2) from that list I will later need to change the legacy mailbox to User Mailbox.
I only know how to change legacy mailbox to User Mailbox for one user but not from a list of many user (prior questions)
Set-Mailbox -Identity "alias" -ApplyMandatoryProperties
Can you please help me?

~ First of all, Exchange 2003 mailboxes show as Legacy Mailboxes in EMC and there isn't any problem in it.
~ If mailboxes are on Exchange 2007 server and shows as Legacy then it should have either created or moved with Exchange 2003 management tools which is the cause of showing it legacy. For your reference :)
Now back to your answer...
1) Use below cmdlet to get the list of legacy mailboxes...
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Where{$_.RecipientTypeDetails -eq "LegacyMailbox"}
2) Use below cmdlet to get the list of legacy mailboxes and apply mendatory properties (But use this if you have all mailboxes on Exchange 2007 server ONLY)
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Where{$_.RecipientTypeDetails -eq "LegacyMailbox"} | Set-Mailbox -ApplyMandatoryProperties

Getting access to 10.4.11 mailboxes in 10.7 Mail

Yesterday I migrated a user from a 10.4.11 machine to a 10.7 Lion machine. When I launched mail, it only brought over the contents of her Inbox -- I had to put the accounts in again, and all of her mailboxes that she had stuff sorted into, and her Drafts, deleted messages, preferences, etc. did not get transferred over.
I can see the mail in her Library/Mail directory in the backup I made of her account before I started the migration. Her saved mailboxes are in her Mail/Mailboxes directory with names like:
Mail/Mailboxes/something.mbox/Messages/5-digit-#.emlx
while her old inbox, drafts, sent, etc are in a directory like:
Mail/POP-user@hostname/something.mbox/Messages/5-digit-#.emlx
How can I get this mail loaded up into Lion (aka V2) mail?

To reply to my own question... The trick here is that there was a mail upgrade between 10.5 and 10.6 and another one between 10.6 and 10.7. My situation is a little different because I am working with Mobile accounts, but here's what I did...
Logged out of the user on the 10.7 machine and the 10.4 machine
Logged into a local Administrator account on the 10.4 machine
Used Terminal, with sudo su to be logged in as root.
used mv to get the Library/Mail/V2 directory out of Library/Mail
used used tar-through-a-pipe to get the contents of Library/Mail from my backup back in to the user's directory
used chown -R user:group on Library/Mail to fix the file ownerships
logged out of the Administrator account and logged into the user's mobile account on the 10.4 machine, this synch'd the file changes I made on the server. Logged out of the 10.4 machine.
logged the user into a 10.6 laptop and synch'd the account on it, then launched mail. This took the mail through the 10.5-to-10.6 upgrade.
Then logged out of the 10.6 laptop, which synch'd the mail back to the server in that state
Then returned to the 10.7 machine and logged the user in, this time the synch brought over mail that had been upgraded to 10.6 and then launching mail got that upgraded to 10.7, with a new V2 directory created.
I took away a couple of morals to the story...
If you want to use Mobile (home-synch'd) accounts simultaneously on computers with different operating systems, Mail is going to be your turd in the punchbowl.
If you are simply upgrading from one computer to another and never need to go backwards, there are two mail upgrades in getting from 10.4 to 10.7, so you will need a 10.6 machine to get the mailboxes updated out of 10.4 format to a format where 10.7 can update it. (I know you can go directly from 10.4 mail to 10.6 mail, I just did it. I know you can go from 10.6 mail to 10.8 mail, because we've done that before, too. I presume we can get from 10.6 mail all the way to 10.9 mail, or all of those people running 10.6 who are having the "free" Mavericks update dangled in front of them are in for a pretty rude shock when it throws away years of accumulated email...)

I just upgraded to Mavarick. I can no longer find my mailboxes in my e-mail. I read to go to 'finder'/ go go to folder the type in ~/Library which I did and I eventually found all my mailboxes. But I want them to be available from my e-mail. How ?

I just upgraded to Mavarick. I can no longer find my mailboxes in my e-mail. I went to 'finder', under 'go'> go to folder / mail and eventually I found all my missing mailboxes. But I want them to show up as they used to, in my e-mail. How do I get them back?

.........and just wasted more time clicking on the 'chat online' link which of course does nothing.
I'll be spending time searching for an alternative ISP instead. Absolutely sick of this.

I have deleted accounts via preferences Mail,Contacts etc however mailboxes still show in mail app and i am unable to delete them (Delete mailbox is greyed out)!

Hi,
Ive constantly had problems with mail app since upgrading to mountaion lion. 8/10 time i have to force quit mail but thats not the main problem. I have been trying to delete all my mailboxes however the "Delete Mailbox" option is always greyed out therefore I went to system preferences>Mail,Contacts..., then selected the accounts and clicked " - " and deleted the accounts successfully.
Weird thing is that the mailboxes still show in mail app. I have no accounts showing in preferences as i have deleted everything but when i open mail app, everything is still there.
Anyone have an idea, what is going here? Wish it could be like windows, just uninstall and install the app again -_-
Thanks in advance!

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

Importing mailboxes from Thunderbird to mail

I'm trying to Importing mailboxes from Thunderbird to mail. All it seems to do is import some, how do I get it to import all from Thunderbird.

Two ways to go...
1st...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
2nd...
Get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Stuck on 'Introducing VIP mailbox' and cannot open Mail.

Hi,
I'm using Chrome on my Windows 7 PC and whenever I sign into my iCloud account to read my mail I get stuck on 'Introducing VIP mailbox' and cannot open Mail. I can open the other items such as Contacts, Calender etc but clicking on Mail just brings me back to 'Introducing VIP mailbox'.
Does anyone else suffer from this issue?
Cheers,
