Mailbox Move Issues and Errors - Exchange 2010 to 2013

I'm trying to move mailboxes from 2010 to 2013, but I'm experiencing a lot of issues.
My move batches keep hanging (stalled) for minutes and hours on end, and I can't seem to keep them going consistently.
I have two DAG's, one for Archive boxes, and one for Primary mailboxes. Each DAG has three members with DB copies of each DB. The npdes and the clusters themselves are up and healthy. However, at random some of the DB's Content Index state will go to Failed
or SuspendedandFailed. At which point I force a catalog refresh and DB index update, and it goes to healthy.
I've created the "ContentSubmitters" AD group (and assigned it permissions), reset the Search and Host controller services on each server, and restarted the Replication service. I also deleted and recreated the Index for each DB prior to restarting
services. No dice. I've also already moved the system mailboxes over to the 2013 databases.
I'm also getting some "Transient" errors in the user move log, things like this: 
Transient error ResourceUnhealthyException has occurred. The system will retry"
5/4/2014 8:43:55 AM [exmb1] The job encountered too many transient failures (60) and is quitting.
5/4/2014 8:43:55 AM [exmb1] Fatal error ResourceUnhealthyException has occurred.
Error: MigrationPermanentException: Warning: Target mailbox unlock operation was not replicated. If a lossy failover occurs after the target mailbox was unlocked, the target mailbox could remain inaccessible. Error details: The store ID provided isn‎'t an ID of an item. --> MapiExceptionNetworkError: Unable to open entry ID. ‎(hr=0x80040115, ec=0)‎ Diagnostic context: Lid: 45025 Lid: 45345 StoreEc: 0x80040115 Lid: 22894 Lid: 24942 StoreEc: 0x80040115
Any ideas would be appreciated!!!

Hi 
I would suggest you to run the below command for this "My move batches keep hanging (stalled) for minutes and hours on end" issue and see the result
Get-MoveRequest -Identity "Mailbox Name" | Get-MoveRequestStatistics -IncludeReport | FL Report
Just check if the MRS health is fine by running the below command
Test-MRSHealth -Identity "CAS Server" -MonitoringContext $true | Export-CliXml "C:\temp\CAS_MRSHealth.xml" and look at the xml file to get more information
When I run the Test command against either of my CAS servers, I get: " 'EXCH1' does not have the right Exchange Server version or role required to support this operation."
Run i run that command against any of the mailbox servers, it completes and generates the XML file, but I'm not sure what I need to be looking for within that file.
The first command spits out a ton of data, here's a little excerpt:

  • Manually Move Public Folders from Exchange 2010 to 2013

    Hi all,
    I have a issue to finishing my migration from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, I have been trying to migrate my Public folders but always after a couple hours, the migration state is failed.
    The final error is the following:
    FailureCode                      : -2146233088
    FailureType                      : SourceMailboxAlreadyBeingMovedPermanentException
    FailureSide                      :
    Message                          : Error: Couldn't switch the mailbox into Sync Source mode.
                                       This could be because of one of the following reasons:
                                         Another administrator is currently moving
    the mailbox.
                                         The mailbox is locked.
                                         The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication
    service (MRS) doesn't have the correct
                                       permissions.
                                         Network errors are preventing MRS from cleanly
    closing its session with the
                                       Mailbox server. If this is the case, MRS may continue
    to encounter this error for
                                       up to 2 hours - this duration is controlled by the TCP
    KeepAlive settings on the
                                       Mailbox server.
                                       Wait for the mailbox to be released before attempting
    to move this mailbox again.
    So, after seeing this I started to monitoring all process and I realized that after creating hierarchy the process start to fail and keep in StalledDueMailboxlock status, and the error is:
    FailureCode                      :
    FailureType                      :
    FailureSide                      :
    Message                          : Informational: The request has been temporarily postponed because the mailbox is
                                       locked. The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service
    will attempt to continue
                                       processing the request after 2/14/2015 12:38:20 PM.
    Finally, digging more into reports of migration I  found this:

    So, would like to know if exist any procedure to migrate/move my Public Folders from Exchange 2010 to 2013 manually, something like Export/Import.
    Regards!

    What script and process you are running to migrate the Public Folders?
    And what do you mean by Manually?

  • Exchange 2013 shell mailbox move requests showing up on 2010 hub server

    We're in the process of migrating from exchange 2010 to 2013. All servers are patched and up to date. We have two 2010 CASs (one for external OWA use only) and a mailbox cluster. Our exchange 2013 setup is almost a mirror with the exceptions of how the exchange
    server roles have changed.
    Any new-moverequest commands entered from the either of our exchange 2013 CAS servers fail to show up in the EAC/recipients/migration page.
    If the local move request is done in the EAC the batch(es) show up just fine.
    The more perplexing part is: while I was going through a 2010 hub (looking for a different issue) I noticed ALL the batches/mailbox moves that weren't showing up in the 2013 EAC were listed in the 2010 move request section.
    I can't get any info on the moves in the 2010 console (because they're 2013 jobs) but i can get statistics and such from a 2013 shell.
    any ideas?

    Are you running ex2013SP1 CU6? Can you try to update n check?

  • Exchange 2010 to 2013 Migration: Authentication/Proxy Settings Issue

    I'm in the final stages of preparing for our Exchange 2010 to 2013 migration. I'm noticing minor authentication issues on mobile devices (android & ios) and proxy setting issues with Outlook that require user intervention. In an effort to make the migration
    as smooth as possible for our internal users, I'd like to get these settings ironed out before starting the migration.
    Symptoms:
    Outlook - I'm aware that internal Outlook usage has changed its connection protocol from RCP/TCP to RCP/HTTP, but it appears that Outlook isn't updating its settings in the "Microsoft Exchange Proxy Settings" after a users mailbox has been migrated
    from 2010 to 2013. Currently, 2010 users with Outlook 2013 have the following settings configured in Outlook's Exchange Proxy Settings:
    URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange: webmail.domain.com
    Connect using SSL only: Checked
    Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their certificates: Unchecked
    On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP: Unchecked
    On slow networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP: Checked
    After migrating a user's mailbox from 2010 to 2013, the above settings remain the same in Outlook and their client disconnects from Exchange and isn't able to reconnect. After manually enabling the checkbox for "On fast networks, connect using HTTP
    first, then connect using TCP/IP", Outlook clients are able to connect to Exchange via their newly migrated mailbox.
    Is there a way to automatically updating these 2 proxy settings in Outlook during the migration instead of having to manually change each user's configuration in Outlook?
    Android & iOS - Currently, users on Android & iOS with Exchange 2010 mailboxes have the following configuration:
    domain: blank
    username: their AD username
    server: webmail.domain.com
    After migrating a mobile users mailbox from 2010 to 2013, neither OS (Android or iOS) is able to connect due to an authentication failure. On iOS, if I manually change the domain from blank to my company's domain, authentication succeeds and their 2013 mailbox
    begins to update. On Android, the option to change the domain name from null is grayed out, requiring the user to delete the Exchange profile and re-add it with the domain name intact. Is there a way to configure Exchange 2013 to not require the domain name
    for mobile users in the same way that it's been working for us with Exchange 2010?
    Please let me know if you require cmdlet print outs of my virtual directories to help troubleshoot the issue.

    Hi,
    Generally, when the user mailbox is moved from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, the Autodiscover service would detect the changes and update the new configuration automatically.
    Please make sure the autodiscover service in your new Exchange 2013 is configured correctly. We can create a new mailbox in Exchange 2013 and check whether the new Exchange 2013 user can setup account successfully in Outlook or not. If the new user works
    fine, it indicates the autodiscover service in Exchange 2013 should be proper for internal user.
    Please restart the following Exchange service to have a try:
    Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access
    Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication
    Restart IIS service by running IISReset in a Command Prompt window.
    Then check whether the Outlook client can connect to Exchange 2013 or not.
    As for Android & iOS issue, I suggest we can ask a question in ActiveSync forum for more suggestion:

  • Exchange 2010 to 2013 users migration

    Hi,
    I am migrating users from Exchange 2010 to 2013 and facing a lot of migration issues. few of them are as follow.
    1. It hung up at "syncing" and end up with a failure.
    2. After a long migration i got the following errors

    3. users migration is taking a lot of time although mailbox size is not big and both servers are in same datacenter.
    Need urgent help pls....

    Hi,
    Here are the general steps for troubleshooting mailbox moves:
    1. If the move request didn't complete, view the Move Request Statistics.
    2. If the move request completed with errors, view the move report.
    3. View the Event log on the Client Access server running the instance of the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service that's processing the failed move request.
    4. use the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell to increase the diagnostic logging levels on the Client Access server for the Mailbox Move and Service categories of the MSExchange Mailbox Replication service.
    For more detailed information about general steps for troubleshooting mailbox moves, you can refer to the article below:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638094(v=exchg.141).aspx
    Additionally, in order to narrow down the cause, I’d like to confirm the following information:
    1. Are the problematic target mailboxes in the same database?
    2. Is there a time boundary? After that, you cannot move mailboxes:

  • "Resend" option is not working for specific user. "The Operation Failed" Exchange 2010 Outlook 2013

    Hi Everybody. I have a weird one for you.
    I have a user that gets an "operation failed" message whenever trying to use the "resend" option on any email (It's the one right under recall). I had tested up and down on her machine. Exchange 2010 Outlook 2013
    Ran in safe mode, recreated her profile, disabled virus scanning, repaired office. (weird, the font just changed sizes on me)
    After all of this I tested on other computers, other users seem to be able to "resend" just fine. However her account does not work on any computer I try, internal or external to the network.
    It looks more like a profile issue.
    She's a very active archivist, so she only has 486MB of space used by her mailbox.
    It's well under quota.
    It's been really puzzling me.
    MCSE 2003, Exchange. MCTS Vista, 7. Administrator of awful, neglected website http://timssims.net

    Hi Timssims,
    Since there is only one user in the org has this issue, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
    I suggest asking Outlook Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
    For your convenience:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=outlook
    However I also have some suggestions for your reference:
    1. If this issue occur on Cached Mode, I suggest turning to Online Mode for testing.
    2. Please also paste the detailed error message if "operation failed" is not the
    complete information.
    3. If still not works after perform operations above (including suggestions from Outlook Forum), I suggest re-creating a new mailbox for the specific user just as Martin suggested.
    Thanks

  • Migrate Exchange 2010 to 2013 External Mail Flow

    Dear All,
    I am in the middle of Exchange Server 2010 to 2013 Migration. The scenario is I have single Exchange 2010 server with HUB/CAS/Mailbox and installed new Exchange 2013 with single CAS and single Mailbox server. The internal email flow between Exchange
    2010 to 2013 and 2013 to 2010 is working. Having some issues and need assistance to resolve at earliest.
    The issue with the external mail flow and I want to Exchange 2010 should be configured to send external email while migrating users to Exchange 2013. Once migrate all users to Exchange 2013 then will configure Exchange 2013 send connector.
    How can I configure single name space of web URL for OWA both on Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, if user mailbox is in Exchange 2010 can access same OWA URL as user migrate to Exchange 2013.
    How to configure SSL certificate, I have single URL certificate this would be enough for OWA, ActiveSync and Anywhere.
    Is that possible if directly move the Exchange 2010 database to Exchange 2013 database, this will move all users mailboxes in one go or do I need to migrate users mailbox individual or in bulk.
    Kindly guide if any thing missing that need to address during start the migration activity.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi ,
    Sorry for delay.
    Question : Thanks for your valuable response. On
    point no.2, I want to use same external URL for Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013, is this possible if user is on exchange 2010 server or migrated on Exchange 2013 can use same external single name space URL to access OWA ?
    Yes you can have the same External URL for the exchange 2010 owa and exchange 2013 owa.So users from exchange
    2010 and exchange 2013 can access owa on the same URL from external world.For exchange 2010 users owa connections will be proxied from exchange 2013 to exchange 2010.
    For mailbox connectivity issue in exchange 2013 :
    1.From internal outlook clients ,Please check the internal outlook anywhere name is resolved to exchange
    2013 server and also make sure the authentication set on the outlook anywhere is set to NTLM. Same time we need to have the internal outlook anywhere name on the SAN certificate.
    2.Make sure the names used exchange on 2013 URL'S is available on the SAN certificate and also the certificate
    needs to installed on the exchange server and that certificate has to be enabled for the required services like iis,pop.imap,smtp.
    3.Make sure the outlook client request coming for internal outlook anywhere name and also to autodiscover
    service is not reaching the proxy server if you have on your network.
    In case if you have proxy server in your environment for internet access ,So for that we need to add the internal outlook anywhere name and autodiscover name
    on the internet explorer proxy exceptions for all the internal outlook clients.We can globally achieve it through group policy.
    4.please share me the output for the below mentioned command.
    get-ClientAccessServer -Identity “server name”  | fl AutodiscoverServiceInternalURI 
    5.If you are having outlook 2007 then make sure it fully patched with latest sp and updates.
    6.On which operating system version those outlook 2007 clients are installed?
    Please reply me if anything is unclear.
    Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

    Hey Guys!
    I'm in the process of testing a Public Folder migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013, I've been following the recommened migration scenario from Microsoft but have ran into this issue when running New-PublicFolderMigrationRequest. I let the request sit at a queued status for over 6 hours and then decided to look at the event logs. I'm receiving an access denied, requesting account does not have permission to serialize tokens.
    Luckily this is just a test and not in a production environment :-)
    Any suggestion or help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated

  • Exchange 2010 to 2013

    Hi Everyone,
    We are currently running exchange 2010 on a 2012 server.  We want to migrate our exchange 2010 to 2013.  What would be the best way of upgrading? Can we install exchange 2013 on the same server as exchange 2010 and then move the roles, or we need
    to purchase another server in order to install exchange 2013?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    We can install an Exchange 2013 into an existing Exchange 2010 organization, and then move the Exchange resources, such as mailboxes, public folders, and connectors to Exchange Server 2013. However, we can't perform an in-place upgrade from Exchange Server
    2010 to Exchange 2013.
    For more information, here is an article for your reference.

  • Exchange 2010 to 2013 Migration- orphaned 2010 servers in Edge subscription

    Migration of Exchange 2010 to 2013 was carried out.  Steps to decommission the 2010 servers was done, including removing the Exchange software fro the servers.  Looks like some pieces were missed though as the 2010 servers still appear in the smarthostdelivery
    and shadow redundancy on the 2010 edge transport server.
    How can these be removed?

    Hi,
    I recommend you can use the following script to cleanup the queue:
    Cleanup Shadow Redundancy Queues
    Performs a search per server per shadow redundancy queue. If shadow redundancy queues contain
    at least 1 message the receive date is inspected. If it is more then 1 day ago it will cleanup
    the message.
    Normally you do not have to cleanup the shadow redundancy queues because messages will automatically
    expire, how long this takes depends on your config but normally 2 days.
    However in some scenarios it might be necessary to clean the queues.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

  • Using IIS AAR as a reverse proxy for Exchange 2010 & Lync 2013

    hi
    i am planning to use IIS AAR as reverse proxy solution for both Exchange 2010 & Lync 2013 . need clarifications on the below.
    Is it production ready proof solution of using IIS AAR as a reverse proxy solution , if yes what is the sizing considerations for the same.
    Can we have exchange reverse proxy and lync reverse proxy on the same IIS ARR server.
    Is there any special consideration(license/certificates/cal licenses) needs to be taken care while using this solution
      4.  Deployment Guide available?

    hi steve.. thanks for reply..
    1 have gone through that.. however having both exchange & lync reverse proxy on single server is unanswered and the reason for having this in exchange forum is to have consideration from exchange prospective as well ... 
    I am also wondering this.  Can both exist on the same set of proxy servers?  I also plan to have a load balanced solution.  Has anyone had any luck with doing that?

  • Exchange 2010 Mailbox move issue

    Hi
    I have moved around 100 mailboxes from DB to other DB in the same server.
    Now all these mailboxes are in Disconnected state.
    The problem is, these mailboxes are appearing twice under disconnected mailbox window. One is from old db and other is from New DB.
    The reason for the same shows for Old DB is Soft Deleted and for new DB is Disabled.
    IS this a general behaviour? Currently when the user access the mailbox, it says its locked for moving.
    How can renable these mailboxes and make user accessible? Do i need to wait till retention period over?
     I have set the deleted mailboxes rentention to 2 days. Will this make mailboxes active after 2 days?
    regards Sundaresan.C

    Yes this is general behavour; Soft Deleted mailboxes - introduced in Exchange 2010 SP1
    more info can be found here; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298174(v=exchg.141).aspx
    This example purges the soft-deleted mailbox for Phil from mailbox database MBD01.

  • Exchange 2010 to 2013 migration: Mailbox move requests are journaled.

    Hello,
    I've installed Exchange 2013 into Exchange 2010 infrastructure
    [ single Exchange 2010 server; single AD site; AD = 2003 ],
    Exchange 2010 has 2 databases:
    1. Database with users mailboxes;    Journaling YES: Journal account.
    2. Database with 1 mailbox for Journal user mentioned above:     Journaling NO.
    Exchange 2013 has 1 database:
    1. Database with moved users mailboxes;    Journaling YES: Journal account.
    I saw that when I move mailbox from 2010 to 2013 then Journal Database INCREASES about size of MOVED MAILBOX !
    I logged into Journal mailbox by OWA and didn't see any duplicate messages concerned with this mailbox user...
    I'd like:
    * to understand technically what happened,
    * to avoid unnecessary growth of Journal Database.
    I'd like not to switch off journaling for all users during mailbox move.
    best regards Janusz Such

    Hello Winnie,
    your understanding is not correct:
    I move mailboxes from first DATABASE which is journaled;
    second database is dedicated solely for Journal user's mailbox and is not touched now.
    Thank you for PS commands; I'll use them...
    best regards Janusz Such
    Hi Janusz,
    Sorry for my delay. In your original posting, "I saw that when I move mailbox from 2010 to 2013 then Journal Database INCREASES about size of MOVED MAILBOX !"
    My understanding is that when you move mailbox from Exchange 2010 Database 1 to Exchange 2013 database, the journal mailbox in Exchange 2010 Database 2 is incleased. Is it right?
    Generally, the mailbox move would not be journaled unless there is any new email bening sent to the mailbox during the migration. Please run the commands in my original posting to check the statistics about it, and refer to Ed Crowdly's suggestion to use
    Journal rule instead of database journal as a workaround.
    Regards,

  • Move existing Exchange 2010 server to new hardware and reinstalling Exchange 2010

    Hi so as the title states I need to Install Exchange 2010 on a brand new 2008R2 Server and transfer everything from the old Exchange Server.
    Couple things though.
    Existing 2008R2 Server w/ Exchange 2010 is also a Domain Controller.
    Exchange needs to be uninstalled completely once Exchange is setup and going on new hardware.
    Existing 2008R2 Server needs to stay up and stay a domain controller.
    Questions are how do I go about this step by step?
    Am I going to have problems uninstalling Exchange from the Domain Controller?  Will this mess up anything with the Schema?
    Any how to guides would be great.  New Server will of course have a different name than existing Domain Controller server.
    Any questions let me know.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Here are the steps about moving the Exchange server to a new server which isn't a domain controller:
    1.Install Exchange Server on a different computer.
    2.Use Move Mailbox in the Exchange Task Wizard to move any existing mailboxes from the domain controller to the new Exchange server.
    3.Rehome any public folders and roles held by the old Exchange Server computer to the new Exchange Server computer.
    4.Uninstall Exchange Server from the domain controller.
